Word Devotion 07/23/2010

O send our Your LIGHT and Your TRUTH, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and Your dwelling. Psalms 43:3 AMP

LIFE-LIGHT (Women's Ministry Meeting 07/22/2010)

Key Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 AMP "But you are a chosen race; a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of HIM, who has called you out of darkness into HIS Marvelous Light."

God wants us to proclaim HIS excellencies (NAS), declare HIS praises (NIV), set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of HIM (AMP), show for the praises of HIM (KJV), proclaim the praises of HIM (NKJV)

The Message: But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chose to be a holy people, God's instruments to do HIS work and speak out for HIM, to tell others of the night-and-day difference HE made for you - from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

John 8:12 "Then spake JESUS again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world; he that followed me shall not walk in darkness, but have the LIGHT of life."

John 1:1-5 v. 4 "In HIM was Life, and the Life was the LIGHT of men." v.5 "And the LIGHT shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has NEVER overpowered it (put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it)."

Psalms 112:4 "LIGHT arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just (who are in right standing with God)."

Psalms 43:3 "O send out YOUR LIGHT and Your truth, let them lead me, let them bring me to Your Holy hill and to YOUR dwelling."

Psalms 27:1 "The Lord is my LIGHT and my salvation - whom shall I fear?"

Psalms 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a LIGHT for your path"

Have you ever been or are you now in a dark place? A place where you just simply don't know what to do about a particular situation, a difficult circumstance or just feel stuck in life? We are positioned in LIFE and we have found out JESUS is the LIFE-LIGHT! He will lead us through Victorious!!!

Closing Verse: 2 Samuel 23:29-30 NIV "Your are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. With Your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall."

Word Devotion 07/22/2010

Word Devotion 07/21/2010

Word Devotion 07/20/2010

We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One who was begotten of God carefully watches over and protects him [Christ's divine presence within him preserves him against the evil, and the wicked and DOES NOT lay hold (get a grip) on him or though him] 1 John 5:18 Amplified Bible

Prayer Request for Renee Sutton

Renee has been diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast. She is scheduled to have a port put in to start chemotherapy next week. At some point then they will do a mascetomy, then radiation, then reconstruction. For more information, you can visit the Cliff Haven COGOP's blog at http://www.cliffhaven.blogspot.com/. Or if you are a friend of Renee's on Facebook, she has been updating some information there. Let's lift her up in prayer at every opportunity we get. God is always in control and I am very thankful He is.

Prayer Request and Update for Tina Stults

I didn't get to have my surgery today. I went to the cardiologist yesterday. He said that the abnormalities on the EKG I had done Monday were significant enough to stop the surgery and warrant more tests. I am scheduled to have a stress test and an echo on July 28 and will see the cardiologist August 4 to get the results. I don't know where we will go from there. Thank you all for your prayers and I ask that you please continue.

Word Devotion 07/16/2010

Be merciful and gracious to me, O God, be merciful and gracious to me, for my soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in you; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed. I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them]! Psalms 57:1-2 Amplified Bible

Prayer Request for Tina Stults

I was due to have a simple out-patient surgery Friday, July 16th, to remove my right ovary. I went yesterday to the surgery center for a routine EKG and some blood work as part of the pre-op for the surgery. A nurse from the surgery center called this afternoon to say that some things showed up on the EKG and that the Anesthesiologist will not put me to sleep for the surgery until I get clearance from my Cardiologist. The nurse made an appointment with the Cardiologist for me for Thursday, July 15th at 11:15 am. If he clears me, I will have the surgery Friday. If not, we will have to postpone. Please pray for me the next few days. Thank you all so much.
