IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2009

I have completed week one of Me, Myself and Lies! If you speak words to yourself that you would not speak to another, I recommend this study to you.

It has been a busy week, have pretty much abandoned my normal schedule, but Lord willing will return to it tomorrow.

Two words God spoke over me yesterday while sitting in the park watching grandchildren play: grace and truth. Is it graceful? Is it truthful? If I can answer yes, yes then I can speak it; otherwise – hush!

And this morning I have been reading in Isaiah 12. It’s a short chapter only 6 verses, but packed with power for us when we believe it. I’ll give you one verse here and close this morning. I particularly like the Amplified Version as it says: Cry aloud and shout joyfully, you women and inhabitants of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

With a few exceptions we, IDOKs, are a group of women and I am convinced that the Holy One of Israel is in our midst and He is here to do great works among us and, yes, even through us. He has done great works in our midst already but He is surely not finished with us. And if I am to see those great works and if I am to be a vessel of those great works, I must remember, grace and truth – speak it or hush!

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

Good report for Kim, doctor will recheck in 6 months.

Add Jon today for medical questions and issues.

And add Ed G (squamous cell carcinoma) and Debra B (biopsy this morn. at 9:00) – we have no other details, just pray.

You are so gracious ABBA. So gracious to me, to all of us; thank You for the Words You speak over us that Your Words are filled to overflowing with Grace and are altogether, forever Truth. I was reminded yesterday Lord, You are full of grace and truth and so must I be. Make it so. Make it so. Thank You for Kim’s good report and we pray the reports will continue to be good. We pray for Jon today as he seeks medical assessment and help for issues and conditions that You will guide the physicians to accurate diagnosis and appropriate remedies. We pray too for Ed and Debra, I know little to nothing about their conditions but obviously they desire to be helped and healed and so we pray for this. And Doug, I am beyond words except to speak again that You are love, You are kind and gracious in all that You do and allow. Thank You for Your presence with Doug and Claudia and Lord, Thy will be done. And over all these today we speak Your Grace, Your Truth, Your Healing and Uplifting Love and Mercy. And over our IDOK Troops we speak protection and safety and safe returns home to family and friends. And to troubled in mind and soul IDOKs we speak rest and trust. Amen and amen.

Revival in America.

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 111°F and mostly cloudy in Al Sahra, IQ (Airport) and the time there is 3:08 PM AST on July 1, 2009.
