IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2009

I got a fire building in my soul, pray it ignites my Spirit this weekend as Beth Moore serves the WORD of GOD to us in New Orleans. Pray for our safety and protection in traveling to and from, and while we are there that we will be sequestered before The LORD. More and more I realize that I am weak and for my age much stunted in spiritual growth. Pray that this weekend will be a defining moment for me leading to growing me into a radical lover of our Savior Jesus Christ and radical servant to His Body.

I Corinthians 12:

14 For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.

18 But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. Isn’t this an encouragement to you? What we are called to do as members of the Body of Christ is what we are best adapted to do. Isn’t He Awesome? And all that we have experienced up to now and even what we will yet experience is part of adapting us for our ministries. Our God wastes nothing! Even our sins when we forsake and give over to Him the consequences of them, He uses to them to further adapt and equip us for our places in His Body.

27 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].

I don’t know what Word You have for me in the next 48 hours, ABBA, but whatever it is I want to hear it, receive it and step into a deeper level of obedience and intimacy with You than I have heretofore known. I pray for Beth that she will not be distracted by anything or anyone; that You will anoint her and every word You want her to say she will say. I pray she will have freedom of Spirit to hear and be moved effortlessly by You so You can move among us and set captives free and revive the dry and weary. I pray every woman in every seat will experience You and respond to You in spirit and truth. I pray the worship team is already worshipping You as they prepare and that we will be easily led into Your Presence. I ask You for safety and protection for every soul attending and serving this conference. And I dare not omit these listed here, so I am praying for You to meet their needs, praying for their peace and safety, praying for them to be enabled to receive the gifts You desire to give them, praying for bodies to mend, diseases to be eradicated, minds and emotions to be healed and children with special needs to be made whole. And for our IDOK Troops to be safe and for each of them to come home safe and sound in mind, body and spirit at the appointed time. And we pray for our Veterans at home that they will be respected and treated well and that their needs will be met. We pray for peace in Israel and, LORD, we pray for America, for mercy and grace and space to repent. And, LORD, I am asking You to defeat and bring to nothing the plans of terrorists here in America and all places they are. And this hardly begins to touch all that is wrong or grievous, or needful, or hurtful in us. We confess we are a needy people; come correct us and fill us for Jesus sake.
