IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009

Page 27 of my The Patriarchs work book is where I shall begin. And the statement is: “Abram was called to be separate—not so he could be detached but so he’d have the God-strength to help.” Is not that the best interpretation of The Lord’s command for us to be in the world but not of the world?

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (New King James Version)

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“ I will dwell in them

And walk among them.

I will be their God,

And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“ Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

18 “ I will be a Father to you,

And you shall be My sons and daughters,

Says the LORD Almighty.”

Not detached from as in an exclusive club of better than you, look down our righteous noses at you because you do this and we don’t; but separated from those acts, demonstrating by God’s Grace we have been rescued so we can be anointed and empowered by God to help rescue them, to demonstrate for them there is a way out and a way up for them. If Abram had pitched his tent toward Sodom with Lot when Lot was captured Abram would have been too and he would have been of NO HELP to Lot. It just makes sense, God-sense, if we are living just like the world, we have nothing to offer them. If we fail and refuse to separate ourselves from carnality, we will have no ‘power’ working in us to demonstrate a way UP for them. Not of the world so as to be detached but not of so we can help! I like that!!

Praise Reports and Prayer Requests

My Baby Girl is not doing as well as we thought she would, still experiencing swelling and much pain, please pray for healing. We are calling the surgeon (oral) again today.

ABBA, I appreciate this message, separated to help, and that’s what I want to be. You know me, you know the stuff going on inside and outside; You now what’s helpful and what’s harmful, You know what’s holy and what’s carnal; thank You for Your love and patience in getting rid of the carnal. I am sorry, really sorry it is taking so long. Thank You for loving me always. And You know my concern for my Baby Girl. I am asking You for relief from this jaw pain and for her to be healed. And not only Baby Girl but we have a whole list of hurting people here. And each one needs to hear from You today and needs to KNOW Your touch upon them and in them today and it is for that I pray. We pray too for our IDOK Troops, for their safety and protection and safe returns home. Guard Israel and turn some hearts to bless Israel and not curse. I remember what You said; that You will bless those who bless Israel and You will curse those who curse Israel. ABBA, please stop those in America who are ready to curse Israel. I am concerned about this and I pray for repentance for these people of power and influence. They don’t seem to know that You LORD are in charge. I pray they will learn quickly in Jesus name. Amen and amen.
