IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 2008

Prayer Updates from Kristi: Day 32 in Hospital “Last night I asked if Danni could go to sleep without Bipap on room air and See what happens. She did not use Bipap at all last night, and only required About 1 litre of 02 for an hour or so!!! She looks great to me minus the Pic line.”
You can take EDIE off the prayer list as she is doing very well after Surgery (around 3 months ago now) and is home in Mississippi back to Herself.
Please Add Tory to the prayer list……Tory remains in hospital (day 11) with complications arising from her spinal Fusion surgery. Her wound is infected and breaking down in several spots, And she’s just so miserable. The doctors are not optimistic and just keep Saying ‘wait and see’…the waiting has us all stretched very thin! Please Pray for a recovery from this awful infection, so she can begin healing. Prayer seems to be all we’ve got right now; only God can convince her body To beat the bad guys in her and come on back home with us. Please pray for Her.
Abba, thank You for Edie’s recovery and thank You for Danni’s improved status and we continue to pray for complete recovery for Danni. And now we bring Tory in a similar state and we pray for recovery for her too. We pray for strength and peace for her family as they wait upon You. Lord, You told us to bring the children to You so we are and we trust Your Love to tenderly care for these little ones and moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas too.
I am continuing to read in John 21. And my first thought seems ‘out there’ but I’ll share it anyway. Look with me at verse 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
Without doing some research and even then I am not certain I could ascertain how many days post the Resurrection, Peter and the Boys went fishing; but nevertheless, they were fishing. Maybe Peter was trying to get on with his life and the Others decided to follow him. (Makes me think we should be careful where we go, others may follow.) They had all seen Jesus since His Resurrection, but I think they were clueless at that moment as to what the Resurrection was to mean to them for the rest of their earthly lives. So they did what came naturally. They went fishing. And going fishing in and of itself may not be bad. But IF going fishing represents going back to doing things the OLD way because the NEW way seems impossible or at best, unclear; then ‘fishing’ isn’t a good plan. BUT GOD is sovereign even over our sojourns back into OLD WAYS. And by now you may be saying, “Kathie, how did you get this from verse 7”? As I said it’s ‘out there’ and getting more out there, I think. Verse 7 says that Peter had taken off his outer garment while fishing. And maybe there are times when that is okay. We do need proper work attire, don’t we? But when he saw Jesus he put his garment back on and plunged into the sea to get to Jesus as fast as he could. So I am thinking verse 7 is a picture of restoration. A picture of starting again. And as you read the rest of Chapter 21, that is what happened with Peter. Jesus had come to where Peter was to ‘restore’ him. Work with me here, this is good I think. I hope. Recall with me that Peter denied the Lord prior to His crucifixion. Lets phrase that this way. Peter took off his ‘garment of praise’. Peter was scared. Too scared to praise the Lord. Too scared to even admit he was a disciple. So when I read verse 7 I thought you know when we go back to an old practice that is what we do in a way. We take off our ‘garment of praise’ and we practice our old ways of fear, doubt, griping, complaining, selfishness, etc. Etc. And while we are practicing our old ways, just as Peter and the Boys did not catch any fish, we are not catching any ‘fish’ for the Kingdom of God. But when we find ourselves or I should say when Jesus comes and finds us in our old fishing hole, if we will look up, focus on HIM, and put on again our ‘garment of praise’, we will be restored. We can then delve into deep water or maybe even ‘walk’ on it (I know that’s a different story) and begin again to fellowship with Jesus, catch a few fish and maybe even feed a few of His sheep. The point is if we keep on our garments of praise, we won’t go back to our same old fishing hole.
Abba, thank You for this lesson. Thank You for what You have done in these recent days and I ask You to continue to raise Yourself up in us. I pray for more and more insight into You and Your Ways, not just for the knowledge alone but so we can obey You more fully. Thank You for the events of this weekend. Some happy times and some bitter-sweet time. I pray for the Jackson Family as they and friends and family gather to celebrate the life and home-going of Mrs. Barbara. Thank You for the kindness and the love she so easily gave. Comfort ET and all the family as they wake up and breathe in this next little while. And we continue to read these names here. Thank You for the good news from Brittney. We are delighted with Your Grace to her in accomplishments and successes. We look for more good news, more steps in faith and more rewards for Brittney and others too. Thank You for protecting our IDOK Troops and Families. Thank You for Your Hand upon Your People. And we continue to pray for America, for grace and space to repent. I pray the interviews that took place in California will open eyes and minds before it is too late. Father, please forgive and save America. And Holy Spirit, revive and refresh Christian Churches to holy living both in voice and deed for Jesus sake. Amen and amen. Tory. Davison and Mosley Families.

A Net Lesson

Leave a comment

IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2008


A portion of today’s Scripture reading was John 21. It’s the account of Peter and the Others going fishing and Jesus coming to the shore to cook breakfast for them. I like that. You know this being a Christian really is all about a relationship with Jesus. Never let anyone convince you differently.
As I understand this passage it was Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, James and John and two Others (who are not named) who had gone fishing. Can you see it – Seven guys in a boat all night throwing out the net, dragging it in and NOTHING? Not one little fish. The only redeeming thing about the night was Jesus, the next morning. Isn’t that the truth? Our ‘nights’ of trying and working and striving and doing yield us NOTHING. But when we look up and see JESUS in the ‘dawn’ — well, He’s the difference. So He asked the guys if they had any fish. He knew they didn’t but you know, often we have to admit to Jesus we don’t have it before He can enable us to get it. So He told them to cast the net again and they did. Smart move! And you know the story – 153 LARGE fish! I think one of the reasons we are told 153 large fish is so we will not miss the fact that Jesus kept the net together. Can you give praise today that Jesus is keeping ‘your net’ together when it surely has enough in it to break it? Well, go ahead – lift up a ‘thank You’ to Him.
I wonder when this net did not break if Peter remembered another time when Jesus invited him to launch out into the deep with the net. That event is recorded for us at Luke 5:5 Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.” 6 When they had done this,they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break; 7 so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.
That time Peter called to the others to come help; they did and everybody got blessed.
Sometimes just Jesus and you can handle a ‘full net’ and sometimes His design is to have others come alongside to help you with your full and breaking net. Be sure, He could hold it together for you without the assistance of others but sometimes that is not what is best. What a blessing we miss ourselves and deprive of others when we see our net breaking and we refuse to let others share the load with us. And please don’t apply this to just the tough stuff; fun stuff (extravagate blessings) needs to be shared too.
Well, this is not where I thought we were going with this devotion today. I thought we were going to get theologically deep in this (as deep as I am able to get so far, that is) but maybe this ‘net’ business it is just right for us today.
If you read on in Luke 5, you will see this breaking net expedition took place early on when Jesus called Peter and the others to ministry (The John 21 fishing event was after the Resurrection, before Jesus ascended to ABBA). It was after this great haul of fish and the breaking of the net that Peter and the Others forsook the life they were living and followed Jesus. Is it our ‘breaking nets’ that draw us close to Jesus? And what about those miracle nets that are full but do not break? What do they do? I’ll leave that question for you to ponder with Jesus.
John 21: 6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
One more thought: He said cast the net on the RIGHT side of the boat and you will find some.
LORD, we are grateful for this ‘net’ lesson. We are grateful for the blessing You intend for us and others when our nets are breaking. And we are grateful for full nets that do not break. And LORD to ensure that our nets are the nets You desire for us, keep us fishing on the RIGHT side of the boat. ABBA, help us see and discern the RIGHT side of our boat.
Father, it seems these folks listed here are in our boat and we want to speak life and blessing over them today. We want Your Word to spread over them and bring comfort and warmth as needed. We want Your Word to inspire and encourage and motivate these and us to right thinking and good works. We want Your Word to empower and energize Christian Faith in them and us. We want Your Word to enable us to believe and receive whatever You allow into our nets today and give You glory for the net. And yes Lord, we want to see You heal and restore too. We want fully restored hearing for Steve; we want Bernie to be cancer free; we want Rachel well and whole, and as we look over the rest of the names, there’s multiple and varied needs, our IDOK Troops who are abroad and at home, for them all we pray Thy Will be done always, Lord.

A Quote To Ponder: Son, if the mountain was smooth you could not climb it.
http://pjcockrell.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/amazing-grace-just-the–
Do you remember the Parable of the Sower? Luke 8: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate it up. 6 Other seed fell on the rock; when it sprang up, it withered, since it lacked moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns; the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. 8 Still other seed fell on good ground; when it sprang up, it produced a crop: 100 times [what was sown].” As He said this, He called out, “Anyone who has ears to hear should listen!
I think we can see in this Parable a description of a lost one coming to salvation as in the seed falling on good ground and I think we can also see in this parable some ‘heart soil’ conditions of Christians. Sometimes we, Christians, hear a sermon and it’s a GOOD WORD SEED and we know it but before the SEED can take root in our hearts it is swept away or choked out by busy-ness or trials and troubles, etc. This does not have to be. We can hear that WORD spoken to us by the Holy Spirit and we can give that seed fertile heart soil. But how do we do that? By persistently meditating on the Word Seed we heard. And when we do, it will take root and it will produce a 100 fold harvest. (That’s what Beth told me during the Simulcast) And I want a 100 fold harvest. Don’t you? One of the cares or troubles that may hinder our SEEDS from producing a 100 fold is the fear that we were mistaken, that God was not really speaking to us. Abba addressed that very concern with me at the Simulcast. Are there times you fear that you cannot (or did not) hear from God? Here’s a WORD SEED for you. Persistently meditate upon it and it will bring you a 100 fold harvest.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. It is to the ‘babes’ that Father reveals Himself not those who are wise in their own eyes, thinking they know just what to do. Are you a Babe, an Infant, a Toddler in Christ? Or have you been saved many years? At every level of growth, knowing Father’s Will on any issue is the same: keep meditating on THE WORD and Father’s Will will be revealed to you. To get us started on our journey to a 100 fold harvest, Beth suggested that each morning before ‘life’ has a chance to steal our attention, that we open our Bibles, (a Bible Reading Devotional Guide could be helpful) ask the Holy Spirit to ‘lift’ a word, a phrase or verse off the page for us for that day and when He does, write that verse on a card and take it with us wherever we go, re-reading (meditating on) it often throughout the day. This may be a new concept to some but with practice, I know we can do it! So how’s your heart soil – is it fertile for SEED?
Father, only You know the hearts of our IDOKs today; only You can impart this Word to us and I leave that to You to do as You will. Thank You again for Your Grace and Mercy. Thank You for Beth. Thank You for lifting her up to minister Your Word so faithfully. I pray for her to continue on and on to feed and encourage us. And we pray for these by name, some are on going requests for well being, for family restoration, redemption from addictions, grace to live and learn in prison, chronic illness and disease, wayward children yet to surrender themselves to You in salvation or godly practices, and our IDOK Troops, abroad and at home, the State of Israel, the State of America, Missionaries and Churches, Pastors and Leaders, career questions, financial plans and decisions – it’s all here, LORD, and for each we pray for Your Will to be done.

The Time of the Evening Breeze

Leave a comment

IDOK DEVOTION FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2008

If you have been reading me for any length of time you know I have a thing about TIME. I termed it today in my prayer journal-ling, a stronghold. A stronghold from which I am seeking deliverance. And deliverance is on its way – I say that by faith. Especially since it is 12:54 PM and I am just starting this IDOK.
SO, when I came in from the porch this morning and after doing some odds and ends, I keyed in ‘time’ to BibleGateway.com in several translations. In the KJV there were 703 references to time; in the NKJV, 708; NIV, 889; NASB, 726; Amplified Bible, 838 and the Holman Christian Standard Bible, 840. I am working from the HCSB because it has the earliest reference – Genesis 2:4. [ Man and Woman in the Garden ] These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation at the time that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
Father is not bound by time but as I see it man has been from the beginning. And so I moved on to the next reference Genesis 3:8 and I really like the wording in the HCSB. [ Sin’s Consequences ] Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Will you put on your holy imaginations with me? We know from other Scripture that God is SPIRIT and therefore, not ‘visible’ to the natural eye of man. (John 6:46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father. AND John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”) Which is why verse 8 of Genesis 3 says the man and his wife HEARD THE SOUND of the LORD God – they had not SEEN Him. Don’t you wonder what HIS SOUND, sounded like? At this point in time, Adam and Eve had sinned and because of their sin they hid from His Sound. But I wonder if prior to sin when they heard His Sound, was it ‘music’ to their ears? Did their pulse increase with joyful anticipation? Did Eve let out a giggle? Did Adam’s steps quicken to the place? I think so. I think from the morning light they looked forward to the time of the ‘Evening Breeze’. For it was at that time they would have one on one fellowship with their Creator. Oh my, how glorious that must have been. I think Adam, Eve, The Father, Son and Holy Spirit delighted in these conversations. I think maybe they talked over the day’s activities. I think they may have discussed the giraffe and his long neck; the hummingbird’s delicate wings; the flight of the red-tailed hawk; the arbor of grapes on the east side and the patch of watermelons on the south end and on and on; just endless wonderful, beautiful, fun, exciting topics of discussion and not one sorrow! I can only imagine! Oh I like these imaginations so much I don’t want to move on but we must. It’s TIME. Be comforted Dear Ones, when TIME is no more ‘the time of the evening breeze’ will come again. And yet even here and now we enjoy a ‘flit’ of what will be again as we commune with ABBA in THE SPIRIT.
Lets look at another time reference. A reference to encourage us that even though Father is not bound by time, He knows we are wrapped up in it and we can be sure He will be ON TIME, EVERY TIME regarding us. Genesis 18:14 Is anything impossible for the LORD? At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son.”
And this one from Jeremiah 15: 11 [ The LORD’s Response ] The LORD said: Assuredly, I will set you free and care for you. Assuredly, I will intercede for you in a time of trouble, in your time of distress, with the enemy.
And then in Matthew 2:7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared. At an exact TIME Jesus came. And throughout His TIME here as the God-Man He worked within TIME.
Luke 7:21 At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people.
John 7:8 Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”
Mark 14: 40 And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him. 41 Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Get up; let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”
I am encouraged. Jesus knows all about TIME; He experienced TIME; He knows how to manage it. He did it. He can teach me and I can learn!
DADDY GOD, thank You for this. It has been fun and I am encouraged. You are speaking, You are teaching and I am learning and I am grateful. As You know Rachel told me this morning that Troy is having severe difficulties since he got home from Iraq. And she has asked that we bring to the forefront that coming home as wonderful as it is, is hard. And so we intercede right now for Troy. I think maybe this depression that has captured him is as serious as any enemy he faced in Iraq. So I am asking You to send reinforcements to Troy. To surround him with people that You have empowered to help him combat this enemy. I pray You will rescue Troy, his job and his family. And Father, our other IDOK Troops at home adjusting, and those still on foreign soil and other situations, guard them too; meet them where they are and bring alongside them helpers who will encourage and build them up, restore them and mature them in Christian Faith. And Lord we pray for these others too. As I look over the names there is serious illness and disease. Lord, heal them please. Let it be that cancers be not just managed but healed. And, Lord, the cancer of sin that has made the People of America so sick, heal us I pray. Again I ask for grace and space to repent. Again I ask that You bring Israel to Peace. And before we close, I pray our IDOKs will be increased in knowledge and wisdom and will enjoy a time of ‘evening breeze’ with You today. Amen and amen.
