Wednesdays – IDOKs Praying

I am missing you all.
While I am grateful for the CPC time and I hope you are blessed in the sharing again posts, it’s not the same for me. :) And I would love to tell you I have been SO productive and I have all 6 of the Gals of Scripture messages written and ready to give but I’d be lying like a dog in the warm sunshine if I did. But at this moment, I’ll say no more about that.

I will say I’m enjoying JESUS. Enjoying day-to-day activities. Enjoying housekeeping privileges — getting more of them done these days. Enjoying juicing fruits, not so much veggies yet. Enjoying kneading and baking bread; experimenting with combining multiple flours — got a good result yesterday. :) Perhaps all this enjoying reflects the not so much ready for GOS. I’m rambling now. On to the reason for this Wednesday morning hello.

I really just wanted to say hello; tell you I miss our ‘fresh’ times together and to let you know that Wednesdays are my days to specifically call your names individually in prayer — that is the names I am privy to via email subscription. And since I am praying for you individually by name, IF you have something specific of concern today, shoot me an email and I will pray with you. Click HERE to email me.

Mark 1:35 In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

Mark 11:25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.

Luke 21:36 But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Seeing Red (again)

When I type I make mistakes and this program underlines them in RED and I have such a distaste for seeing red. And when I see red, I want it fixed immediately! But if I continue on typing and then when I am finished, use the spell check the ‘red’s out’ in less time than if I stop to fix each typo myself.
Is there something you are ‘seeing red about’? Give God Time to fix it. Keep on with the good work you are doing and stop worrying or being embarrassed that it is not PERFECT! The ‘spell checker’ is catching it and will fix it in the end. NOW that’s something to be thankful for!

Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

Father, thank You that You have the PERFECTION You require in Jesus and You are not looking for it in me – not in my flesh and in my Spirit, You Holy Spirit, are daily working to get the ‘red out’ of me. Thank You! Help me be patient with Your Work. Thank You Lord. And this morning we pray as other mornings for the Peace of Israel and the Repentance of America. We pray for our IDOK Troops, please keep them safe today in mind and body and spirit. . .  And we pray that each of them will come to love You more and more and that You will bring each of them home safe and sound at the appointed time. And we bring these too for comfort and peace, health and provisions for Jesus sake. Amen and amen.

Fat Hearts and All (again)

ABBA, Presently, I am praising You for Dori’s progress and trusting for much more recovery. And presently remembering also other saints who have received reports that are impossible to bear reports without Your goodness and grace poured out on them. Don comes to mind. Kerri and Diana too. Lily, oh ABBA, that precious little child – no way for her Mom and Dad to get their understanding around this. So I pray they will lean not to their own understanding but in all this acknowledge You and lean on You and allow You to lead and guide them through this. And Lily, still I pray for her full recovery and restoration to her family. And the specific unspokens, oh there are more than a few of those within this IDOK circle and I confess for all who are in agreement that we trust You to attend our specifics specifically as only You can. Thank You for every home into which this post will appear, I pray for the knowledge of You to increase in each place, and in each home and life as needed lavish them with grace, mercy, conviction, repentance, restoration, mending and healing, and a hunger and thirst for righteousness, on and on, LORD, You know the needs in detail. I am rejoicing that You are willing and I pray we shall be too. Amen and amen in Your Name, JESUS.

Fat Hearts And All  To read at its original post click here

I’m still off my beaten path this morning and I have my doubts that I am firing on all pistons (hmmm, that’s not much of an explanation; when am I ever firing on all pistons?)  But ABBA always is.
I read Psalm 17, among other passages, and one verse in particular I read over and over, but before I leave you with that one let us consider a portion of David’s Prayer recorded for us to see the heart of David here.
6 I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
9 From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me.        
10 They have closed up their fat hearts; With their mouths they speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
12 As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
These should be comforting words to us whatever the source of opposition or pain.  Our God is well aware of the ‘fat hearts’ around us; He is well aware that the guns have been aimed and Christians are in the ‘site’ of the ungodly BUT
14 . . .   From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
Have their portion in this life; and then David said:
15 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
As for me, I will.  As for you, you will Choose to see that our God is righteous in ALL that He allows and in ALL that He does and the more like Him we yield ourselves to be the more satisfied we are in the here and now AND one day when we AWAKEN at HOME we will be like HIM!

Remember our promise:

Deut 30:6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 

Amen and Amen
