IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2009
We know when Luke penned the words of the Gospel, he wrote as he was directed by the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16) recording for us what he had seen and heard; and he often found confirmation in what had already been written by the Prophets (also moved upon by the Holy Spirit) of the Old Testament. Take a look with me. Luke 18:27 But He said, What is impossible with men is possible with God. Luke heard Jesus say these words but Luke had read them too. In the Script of the Old Scrolls, Jesus by faith found Himself and so did His Disciples – so can we!
Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son.
Do you have something that difficult and that wonderful for which you are praying? HE is able! You will recall that Sarah was well passed child bearing years, beyond menopause; who knows she may even have been beyond night sweats; and Our God delivered on His promise!
Now move with me to Jeremiah 32:17 Alas, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You –
Did you see it? Jeremiah is NOT asking a question. He is not saying Is there anything to difficult for God. He is proclaiming there is nothing too hard for the Lord God! We can proclaim that too.
One more; same chapter, verse 27; here God is asking the question of the Nation of Old and, yes, He is asking us too! Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me? And how shall we answer Him today? Alas, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You –
Praise Reports and Prayer Requests
Dear Friends, Please pray for my precious brother, Donald, who is having a Melanoma Cancer removed from his back Thursday, July 2nd. Please pray that the cancer can be completely removed by surgery and that he will not need any further treatments. This is the same brother who went into cardiac arrest 18 months ago and was resuscitated. Thank you so much, La Juanna
Doug is not doing well. Please pray.

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. And Lord some weeks later since this prayer began we have word from one of those Alabama officials that he wants our prayers, that he is mindful of You, that he does love You and obviously he is well acquainted with Your Word. And ABBA I am so delighted and grateful for this man and for others like him, so for each of them (and You know who they are, Lord) we pray that You will anoint and empower them to stand firm and holy in these places of service You have given them and Lord please bring others alongside to stand with them and help them. And as he suggested move us to be involved in the political process with more than just our prayers according to the individual will You have for each of us. Again, Lord, thank You for this news, thank You for what You are doing. Amen and amen.

A P.S. here, ABBA, before I send this out, You know the email report I got concerning Wayne B. That was a tremendously horrendous day he had at the clinic and tomorrow another procedure is ordered. I cannot imagine it and I hardly know how to pray and yet I remember the message written above — YOU know what to do for Wayne, his wife and family. YOU know Your thoughts and plans for them and so it is for those plans, those blessings we pray now for them. Amen and amen.
As I post this it is 115°F and light haze in Kuwait, KW (Airport) and the time there is 3:03 PM AST on June 30, 2009.
