IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, APRIL 27, 2009

Are you familiar with that feeling of thinking you cannot do something fast enough? That is were I am this morning at 7:34 AM and nothing on this page!!! And with so many thoughts bumping and crashing one into the other within the cramped walls of my mind, I wonder what I can put on this page. Quickly that is, and of any help to you.

ABBA, I know how I got to this spot this morning. I contributed to it, ignorance contributed and faces not connected to voices on the other side of telephone lines contributed, going to bed too late and getting up too late, and my own sense of scheduling. Anyway here I am thinking that I must get word to our IDOKs NOW, which is like putting plugs in my spiritual ears. Forgive me. And as I am experiencing a racing soul this morning rather than a calm and steady one, some of them may be too. I suspect I am not the only one of them rushing and tempted sore to rush on passed You. Forgive us, LORD. Calm us. Don’t let us rush passed You today. Don’t let us wear spiritual ear plugs today simply because we think we don’t have time to be quiet.

Psalm 146:10

Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our High Tower and Stronghold). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

And Your Word speaks. Let it be, be still and KNOW You are God. And being GOD all time and all things are in Your Hands. We are, our failings are, and our successes. You are IT, LORD, and we are privileged to recognize this. And You are with us and You are our Refuge, our High Tower above all this that troubles us and You are the Stronghold that is teaching us better. Thank You. Thank You for all that You will do for each IDOK this day and for each name written here on our list and for each IDOK Solider. Please keep them safe and bring each one home to family and friends safe and sound. I renew again my prayer written below for this Nation, for the cleansing of Washington and all 50 States and I add this morning for the purifying of Your Church, Lord Jesus. Thy will be done. And, ABBA, identify and remove all our ear plugs I pray. We want to hear YOU and we pray for souls still enough for this to be. Amen and amen.

ABBA, I am posting this here in prayer as a daily prayer and I am praying as pure in motive as I know how today, asking that You by whatever ways and means You choose, see to the removal from office of every elected Official in Washington and all 50 States that is not sensitive to and is not inclined to work to preserve Judaeo-Christian values and the Constitution of this Nation in its Original Intent. Lord, I am so sorry that many (and thank You not all) offices of this Nation are filled with corrupt, reprobate-minded people who have no regard for You or Your Word and if I have done anything that has contributed to the election of these people, please forgive me and stop me from any further actions that will damage and bring this Nation to complete ruin. I pray Holy Spirit that You will stir the hearts and prayers of enough people to bring this Nation to repentance and will clean and cleanse the offices and the Officials of this Nation. Father God, please have mercy on us. Lord Jesus, clean Washington even as You did the Temple if need be. Amen and amen.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2009

Today, I have arrived at this conclusion: (in fact as this day has progressed it has been a day for a few conclusions) that DADDY GOD does not like ruts and that He in His love and wisdom will not allow us to continue in them for too long. And when He determines that I have become too settled, too comfortable, too set in my ways, He allows me to do something seemingly so innocent that will rattle my cage, loudly, and cause me to have to climb out of my comfortable rut, a rut that I like SO very much, and set foot on a new road. And why does He do that? Because a rut is no place for an IDOK. And when He moves to get me out of the rut, I often, way too often, kick and scream and yell and fuss and fume and then eat humble pie because His Road is OH SO MUCH better than my rut. Oh what an AWESOME, WONDERFUL, GREAT, SMART, HOLY, FUN, DELIGHTUFUL, LOVING, KIND, GOOD, MERCIFUL GOD, He is. Now I shall look for a Scripture for us for today and when I find it, we will be well on our way to Friday’s edition being finished. HE IS SO TRULY AWESOME!! I am so utterly lost and foolish and carnal without Him. Praise Him. Praise Him!

Ephesians 6:

10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

Enough said, huh?

ABBA, I don’t know why You put up with me other than You are so fully AWESOME LOVE. Thank You. And by Your Grace and in Time I will learn and will step by step, ever so tiny as they are, be conformed to Your image, LORD JESUS. Thank You, Thank You. I can never say it enough!

Here are our people with special needs and requests, we entrust them to You. If they are in a rut, You have plans to get them out, praise You. Whatever their need, You are the answer and we are sure of that. We are also sure that You are more willing to provide than any of us are ready to receive. Thank You so much for keeping us saved. Please remind our IDOK Troops today in whose hands they are and bring them home safe and sound at the appointed time. Thank You for Tim’s successful surgery and his coming recovery and for all the provisions You are sending their way. Thank You for these precious, precious IDOKs, guard them and protect them and lift them up to higher and higher levels of intimacy with You. A SPECIFIC UNSPOKEN.

IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2009

Permit me a re-run today from April 23, 2004 — A Wedding!

John 14

¹DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

²In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

³And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

He said He was going away and He did. He said He is coming back and He is. He said He was preparing a place for them and He is and you and I are included in that “you”. How I do I KNOW the you includes us?

John 17

²⁰Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching,

²¹That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.

²²I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one:

²³I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

²⁴Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Now, what do we see? He said: I am going away to prepare a place for you. Okay, that’s a promise. And He said: I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. Okay, that’s another promise. And now to fit us into that promise He said: all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, There we are!! And look for one more thing; He said: Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, WOW! We are a GIFT to Him and He DESIRES that we be with Him forever! HE IS RETURNING! And He is coming to escort us to the PLACE HE HAS PREPARED FOR US… THE GROOM IS COMING FOR THE BRIDE! That is ONE Wedding I will not miss!

Oh Father God thank You, thank You for including us; thank You for redeeming us; thank You for giving us Your sure and certain promises; thank You Holy Spirit that You have been given to us to seal the deal and for us to KNOW that we are certain to be with You always; that Heaven is a REAL and tangible place and we will be there with You when our place is made ready for us and until You get our place ready; help us OCCUPY here till You come for us; help us do what we are called to do here to prepare to be there with You. Help us deliver Word of Your promises; help us see others birthed into Your Kingdom so they too can share and know a place is being prepared for them too. Father, You know I have many, many people on my mind this morning; we have already spoken of some of them, and You know there are even more; all Your people today need encouragement and strength and wisdom and solutions to problems and situations and relief of burdens or at least a shifting in the load… Yes, shift the load to You… Help us do that and help us bear one another’s burdens as You lead and call us to do. Thank You for Your promises; thank You for a forever home that is forever sure with You for Jesus sake.

Reports: Tim is home and the surgeon said the procedure went well. Now, keeping Tim off his feet for a while is the biggie! Thank you for your prayers and as you are impressed by the Holy Spirit, please continue to pray for him and the family.

Report I got on Chandler and should have given you a couple days ago:

I just spoke with Chan’s epileptologist. The lab report from what they took out of his brain showed cortical dysplasia. Apparently this is something that occurs when neurons don’t migrate in the proper formation and some end up bigger than others. It causes them to misfire which causes seizures. It happens during pregnancy, and it is not something he can pass on to any of his children. It’s just one of those things. Only Chandler. The good news is that he had the most severe type, IIB. This is good news because the more severe the type, the better his chances are of the seizures not re-occurring once you have surgery. Terry

IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2009

It’s been a few hours now since Tuesday’s IDOK about HOPE was written and delivered. And thus far this has been a pleasing day. I think some things have been accomplished and I am feeling good about it. I’ve walked for my health; I am in the process of handling some domestic pleasures, even got some lima beans cooking for supper; got some laundry going; have enjoyed some reading and some writing; some praying and experienced some answering of prayer. Risking that some will think I am totally deranged, which by the world’s standards I totally am, here is an excerpt from my Daily Writing Journal, which by the way is FAR from being daily, but it makes a good folder title for my computer desktop. And yet I have hope it will become more daily, starting today.

I wonder if I really will write that book about Rehab that I just today made more notes on. I am afraid to even think about it. I am afraid to even think that tomorrow can be like today. I have failed so many times . . . And I want another day tomorrow like today but I am already afraid of not having it because I have started this so many times. So many times I have started out thinking this is it I really am going to get this time management thing settled once and for all and I will be successful! Oh LORD help me be not afraid, help me love today and leave tomorrow in tomorrow; tomorrow will be today soon enough. Today there is Hope. Today I am glad. Today I am rejoicing. Today I feel good about thus far. So lets not mess up today thinking about tomorrow or mess up tomorrow thinking about it today, because one day affects another.

So what do I mean by that? One day affects another. What I do today just may enable me to do tomorrow what I need to do, what I want to do. Let me get practical with you here. If I arise as early as I should and get the day underway, if early I take a walk for my spirit, soul and body, if I pray and study early, if I write Wednesday’s IDOK on Tuesday (during normal work hours), if I do my household pleasures steadily, if I resist non-redemptive television, if I go to bed on time, all this affects not just today but tomorrow. It gives me a today I feel good about but it also enables me to wake up on time tomorrow and not be behind before I ever set foot out of the bed. Don’t you just hate being behind before you even get out of bed? Now, I have come to this conclusion before and I am pretty certain at that time it was the subject for an IDOK devotion too which means there are grounds for my fear of failure.

And you may have grounds for fear of failure too. And you may have dreams and hopes and goals that you have started again and again, to only drop again and again. You owe it to Jesus and to yourself to stop fretting over that. Let me share with you a line or two from a book I have been reading today. “It took Sharon a long time to finally answer the call to write, but God used everything in the meantime to bring her to the place of effectiveness she is at now.” (page 25 of Behind the Stories by Diane Eble, published by Bethany House Publishers. Bloomington, Minnesota.) You know what that means to me? All my starts and stops, all your starts and stops, God is using to make us ready for not just tomorrow but ETERNITY. We are going to succeed! The very fact that we keep coming back to the same conclusion, that familiar place of starting over means we have not given up on ourselves and HE certainly has not!!

I Peter 5:

10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

11 To Him be the dominion (power, authority, rule) forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

And reading over this again before putting it away till mailing time I have a revelation I think. I said: So many times I have started out thinking this is it I really am going to get this time management thing settled once and for all and I will be successful! A once and for all may not be in my best interest here. Maybe I need to struggle, maybe I need to ‘suffer a little while’ longer to ensure that I don’t get uppity, thinking I figured this out and that I am responsible for the success that is surely coming to us in HIS TIME.

DADDY GOD, I am enjoying this day, thank You. To You be all the glory and praise. You are the Worthy One. And I pray You will take this offering of words and somehow use it to help another. Thank You for life here, for work, for failures that lead to success, real success that comes only from You.

And LORD I pray for a successful surgery for Tim. Thank You for the many people who have written to say they are praying for him and for Andria and the family. That is such a sweet and special gift to me. Thank You. You know their needs and there is no doubt You will meet them. Thank You.

And not just for Tim and Andria but all these others named here too. You are meeting their needs too and we are praising You now in advance for each provision.

We dare not forget our IDOK Troops. We are delighted to pray for them each day. We are delighted that You look upon each one of them every day, continually, and You love them and care for them. Thank You. So we entrust their safety, their protection of spirit, soul and body to You again today.

We know from Your Word that we are commanded to pray for the Peace of Israel and we do that willingly and feel honored to do so. We thank You for those precious people and we pray for their Peace as a nation and individually to know You as their Messiah.

And we pray to not grow weary praying for America. ABBA, I am sorry for the sin and corruption, the hatred and idolatry that is filling this place. I am sorry for the murder of babies and the flaunting of reprobate minds that goes on daily in the streets of cities and towns all over America. I am sorry for the politicians and others who have sold their souls to the god of greed and power. I feel helpless to help. Let me not give into that. You are still God and You are still rescuing souls one by one. Let me work with You in that. Let IDOK work with You in this. Train us. You have already commissioned us and we accept Your Call. We are available to You, to work with You to deliver Your Message of forgiveness and Eternal Life. Amen and amen.
