Day Sixty-Seven

A. Knight

Luke 18:18-21

I can already tell you this will be hard to keep from getting all over Aimee’s post for tomorrow! But I will try!

When I read what Beth had written and the Scripture text for today, I found myself wanting to fall on my knees in repentance for things that I know is under the blood. Already forgiven.

I was such a rebellious child for the day and time that I was a teenager. I remember many times getting so angry with mother, although, thinking back now, I cannot for the life of me remember why. She was an excellent mother! But I am sure that it had to be her not allowing me to have my way! Imagine that! A mother actually maintaining control of her children. Every single day! And for some crazy reason, we didn’t balk….to her face anyway. But boy-howdee did I ever let her have it when my bedroom door was closed. Silently. Right. We never even slammed a door in our house. It was Mother, me, Wanda, Aimee and then little brother Jeffery. And I had to be the rebellious one. She says that is until little Jeff became a teen.

Although I never murdered….I did have anger. And even murderous thoughts! You know…you may have even said something similar…. “when I get my hands on him I’m gonna strangle him!” Of course you wouldn’t. Neither would I. So why did I say it?

As far as adultery…well, I wrote a post yesterday on my own blog…the Lord woke me early. Around 4. …You can go there by clicking on my blog, but I will add a short exert from that post.

“During a time of devotion on our Sisters of Faith Retreat 2008, I told the dear sisters that I felt that even the “thoughts” of our mind would be accountable to Christ. “And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 NLT

When provoked to the point of anger, where does your mind go? I know EXACTLY where mine goes. And I have to pray. The mind is a dangerous place for some. For men, when they see a woman on the cover of a magazine—half naked—where do you think their mind goes? Same for women. The body of muscles rippling on a naked torso on a man sends some women into a frenzy of lust. And almost every single magazine you pick up from the newsstand screams that today. (I have discovered that women can be just as bad as men when it comes to trash like this. It is one of the most irritating things to me. I suppose because I hear it almost daily. Then if you watch any TV…there it all is again!)

As I watched the movie Fireproof on Tuesday night (Denise, we finally had our date!), I was reminded of the book by Beth Moore, Get Out of That Pit where she describes many pits that are waiting traps—and many we dig ourselves right into…”

Almost every single morning…my patience is tried to the max when I try and get to the 4-lane that carries me the 42 miles to work. Many days as I drive through downtown I find myself behind someone not going as fast as I think they should. That little bit of aggravation has to be dealt with. It’s not anger at this point. It’s minor aggravation. Major aggravation comes into play when someone pulls out in front of me and then stops, or turns “just after pulling out in front of me”. Does any of this EVER happen to YOU?? And now, just by saying this…it will probably happen in the morning! Again. Oh well. I will try and think happy thoughts!

I feel the need, having just talked about all this anger…to pray again. We didn’t even touch the stealing and lying either! Just reading this has caused me to remember my rebellious ways, my wrong turns in life and my incredible Savior who loved me so much, that He took care of my sins once and for all. I am so thankful.

I read last week, many people think someone else’s sin is worse…just because it’s different from theirs. But it’s not worse. Wipe the mirror clean. Look again. Yours is not worse than mine…and mine is not worse than yours. Sin is what it is. The Blood of Christ Jesus was shed for all.

Thank you Father—for the ulitmate gift. Your only Son. I don’t deserve what I have been given. But I am glad that I wasn’t given what I did deserve. That’s Your mighty mercy and grace at work in me. Keep each heart and life safe today, teach us and direct our hearts and lives to live fully and freely in You. In the name of Jesus~Amen.

Devotion, faith, Life

What now Lord?

A. Knight

I awoke this morning around 4’ish….(you do remember me and sleep–right?)The craziest phrase rolling over and over in my mind. “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” Remember it? The phrase was created in 1867 by Charles E. Weller merely as a typewriting exercise.

However, the real need is this: For all (men, women and children alike) to pray. “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:” Acts 2:17-18

This was from Peter’s first sermon which took place in Jerusalem–he was quoting from the Scriptures, the Prophet Joel. (Read the whole book of Acts-you will be encouraged by what you find.) The power of the HOLY SPIRIT was given to all who seek Him.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:38-39

If your children have a need…who do they go to for that need to be met? You. We have an extreme need. A need to be filled to overflowing with the POWER of the Holy Spirit. I have told my oldest child many times, “in the last days we will need the power of the Holy Spirit to see us through the tough circumstances of life.” The unexpected. When you don’t know what to pray…the Holy Spirit does so for you. “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26

I am urged on as never before to seek more of God in my life. There are many that feel that some things that the world partakes of is alright. It may be for them, but it is not for me. I WANT the Spirit to speak to my heart when I am about to step into an area that is not “for me”. I WANT the Spirit to direct my footsteps and yes, even the words I say. Matthew 12:36 says, “But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Christ’s own words. Think He meant it? Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Right. He meant it. Big time sister.

During a time of devotion on our Sisters of Faith Retreat 2008, I told the dear sisters that I felt that even the “thoughts” of our mind would be accountable to Christ. “And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 NLT

When provoked to the point of anger, where does your mind go? I know EXACTLY where mine goes. And I have to pray. The mind is a dangerous place for some. For men, when they see a woman on the cover of a magazine—half naked—where do you think their mind goes? Same for women. The body of muscles rippling on a naked torso on a man sends some women into a frenzy of lust. And almost every single magazine you pick up from the newstand screams that today.

As I watched the movie Fireproof last night (Denise, we finally had our date!), I was reminded of the book by Beth Moore, Get Out of That Pit where she describes many pits that are waiting traps—and many we dig ourselves right into…

I have plunked myself straight into the pit of depression…all because I did not capture the flailing thoughts and I allowed the enemy to plant seeds of doubt and discouragement there. And I sat idly by as he (the enemy) watered those same seeds until I was a complete and total mess. Only through the power of prayer—the POWER from the Holy Spirit was I ever able to break free from the debilitating grip of the enemy in my life. Over my mind and heart. It happens. As surely as a panic attack can come on some, despair can come on others. Depression. I’ve been there.

I used this passage yesterday…but it’s needed again today. “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12 I have committed my heart and mind to following Jesus Christ. As the song says, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.”

Allow HIM to come into your heart and life today. When you give HIM full control over your heart and mind….He will do some amazing things …on a daily basis. I know. I am there.

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Day Sixty-Six

A. Knight

Read Luke 17:11-19

Guess what girls? The Lord is not afraid to deal with our ugly stuff. No matter where we are, what we are going through- it may look bad, it may even stink. God’s able to and willing to do the work, to touch the untouchable, and love the unlovable.

Look at vs. 14. Jesus had told them to “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” Now, I know most of them were not carrying around mirrors, but they could look at each other and their own extremeties and see they still had their spots. They walked “by faith and not by sight.” They were healed on the way. Oh, what a message here! They went in faith, not looking at their circumstances. They stood on His word! I can just imagine as they were walking they were probably encouraging each other to keep walking. Amazingly, all ten stood on faith and begin walking to see the priests. If there were any doubting, they just kept walking, because it says in vs.14 “as they went, they were cleansed.” How sad it was that only one “Leper” returned to thank Jesus. My Mamo (Grandmother- now with Jesus) used to say, “Just praise Him even before He answers our prayers, believing He will.” Now that’s faith to the test! Sara Trollinger wrote that someone had written a little saying that said, “Faith that fizzles before the finish had a flaw from the first.” Let’s keep the faith to the finish!

Beth writes that she wondered “if the leper with the most spots was the one who came back to thank Him.” Leprosy is leprosy whether you have a few spots or not, kinda like chicken pox – you either have it or you don’t, and sin is sin whether we feel it is a big sin or not, it still makes us a sinner. But praise God, for forgiveness! (I said this in a loud voice, as I “fall down on my face at His feet giving Him thanks”)

Sisters, have a great day. Remember to thank Him every day- not just on Thanksgiving. He alone is worthy of all our praise. Thank you for joining us today. So glad to have you back Gail!

Lord, I come to you today to say thank you. I love you with all my heart! I thank you for this Bible study, I’m learning so much more about you and my love for you grows deeper. Thank you for allowing us to feel your presence with us. Bless the dear sisters in our study and their families. Minister healing to those that need a healing and miracles to those with financial needs or whatever the circumstances they may be facing… touch them- hug them- hold them and remind them you care. All these things I pray in Jesus Holy name–Amen.


Keeping the Faith,

Election Day

A. Knight

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV)










The sight of our Nation’s flag always sends a thrill over my heart. Many times even tears to my eyes. To know how hard fought our freedoms have come is not something I take lightly. The fact that I am free to express my love for Jesus Christ to the world wide web—without fear that someone will come and rip my home apart to deprive me of my Word.

A nation without the Word is a nation truly deprived. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1

Thank you Father, for the freedom we have, for those who have fought hard and long to obtain it and those who continue the fight to keep it so. May Your unlimited blessings flow into their lives as they forge on, following Your path! In the precious name of Your only Son, Jesus~Amen.



….For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Day Sixty-Five

A. Knight

Well, I have to say right off, I was hoping that Day Sixty-Three would have fallen on a weekday. That one blessed my socks off! I had previously written a devotion on that very passage last year, pulled it out again this year, brushed it off and reloaded it! It has a message! If you haven’t read it—get alone with the Lord sometime this week and read that very passage–Luke 15:11-32.

Now, lets get on with today! We are reading today from Luke 17:3-4. “So watch yourselves. ‘If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”

Watch yourself. Actually, to be more to the point…I read–“Angie—keep thy mouth closed until you have prayed!” Ever had that happen? I will give you two different scenes from my life. I will try to be brief. God was loving.

Several years ago I had someone that was a dear friend cause me extreme pain through a sin in her life and it fell against my family. Now, I will preface this with saying, I ONLY reacted appropriately because I believe that the LORD had been preparing my heart to deal with her. With the very sin itself. It was ugly. The attack came hard and swift. Strangely (or not) enough, it happened after long times in prayer after a weekend where I felt the LORD pulling me in close to Him (where He wants us all to be).

After the tears and explanations had subsided, albeit not from the young woman, I stayed on my face, sometimes literally, but daily I was continually on my face in my heart. When a few weeks had passed, the pain she had caused my heart and home was a looming tower of grief that I seemed to not be able to get around and I felt the Lord tell me one night at church to go to her and tell her I forgave her. WHAT? Are you KIDDING ME?? That was my response.

I was not the one in the wrong—she wronged me! But the persistent voice of God, my Father would not let up. Go to her. Tell her. Your healing will come.

So, of course, after much flailing around in my heart, I did as I was told. I took her by the hand, and lead her to another room in the church. I know without a doubt she probably thought I was about to beat the life out of her. (That had crossed my mind in days past—but it is not my way.) As I lead her to sit down, with much tears and a broken heart, I looked into her eyes and loved her—despite all the pain she had caused. I saw a sinner—just as I had been. A sinner that needed forgiveness. She had strayed from the path. I forgave her. My healing came.

Fast forward about 7 years to when my oldest daughter was dating. She really picked some humdingers too! One particular guy seemed so nice. Until she decided he was a bit too possessive. Then the evening came when she was coming home and she had not been driving all that long and when she came running into the house, her face white, but her eyes full of tears, the short, hiccuped explanation was all I needed. We had us a stalker. He was right on her bumper. Almost. As he tore through the front yard, my “mommy mode” kicked in high gear. I jerked the front door open and asked that young man one question and then without waiting for his answer, I told him what he needed to do, and if he didn’t what I was about to do. I did not use nice words. I was in high protection mode. Still, that was no excuse. What happened? I reacted in the flesh. Totally.

We never heard from the young man again. He saw my face, the wild rage in my eyes and I believe he KNEW I’d make good on my promise.

Later that evening, when I was settling down to pray, my heart was pricked by what the Lord revealed to me. It was my ugly. I had never acted like that. I had never spoken like that. Even in the worst of times in my life. What came over me? The enemy. I prayed and asked the Lord to please forgive me and I knew that my path would one day cross the young man’s path and I would be obedient. No matter what.

Several years had passed before I saw him again. I heard a few stories about him and a few other young girls. He had problems. But there was also a goodness somewhere inside him too. I was sitting on the back row at our Women’s Camp meeting at my home church holding our first grandson. My oldest child’s son. As I gazed around me at all the familiar faces and many unfamiliar faces—I realized this was the largest group we had ever had! Probably close to 400 women were gathered there. Then my eyes fell on this young man. Only guy on the bottom floor of the sanctuary. And then He said it. “Go ask him to forgive you.”

“Now? Right now? What about after church?”

“Now.”

Okay.

I did. I stood up and went to the row where the young man sat, asked him if I could sit just a minute and cried as I asked him to forgive this “wild eyed mom”. He did. Without hesitation. He then further went on to assure me that were the situation reversed, he would have reacted the same way. He admitted to his stupidity. I admitted to my sin. I was sorry.

God can direct our lives every day when we allow Him access to our entire hearts. I don’t want any unforgiveness in my life. I don’t want to be a stumbling block to another life that is pressing hard toward the mark. I want to be a light for Him….a soul that shines forth His love and mercy.

For, I have been shown much much mercy. He is a forgiving God. I am so very thankful.

Sorry girls, I said I’d be brief….I tried. Truly. Have you got a forgiving story to tell? If it’s too long to add here, put it on your blog and direct us there! (OR, if you’d rather….add it on right here! That’s what the comment section is for!) Take all the time/space you need!

Father in heaven, I am so thankful that You do speak to our hearts. I am grateful that You have blessed my life with mercy, grace and love. They go hand in hand. Thank You for Your faithfulness—for forgiveness! Direct our paths. I seek Your will and direction—daily. Help us to share Your love with others. As we continue on —until You come for us. In Jesus holy name~Amen.

Keeping the faith,

Angie

Weekend Activities

A. Knight

Yes….we had a good time….YES I was mentally and PHYSICALLY exhausted when they went home….boys are boys…and there was some wrestling….running….playing….and even some major whining (not all of it was mine either)….and the little cutiepie that is the youngest says, “I not you best fwend anymore”(he says YOU not your)….EVERY TIME he gets upset with you….or if he doesn’t get his way. So…I have only 2 best friends now….the older two. But even they weren’t my best friend the whole time they were here either.

I still don’t think I have unclinched my teeth from the stress….(I have a tendency to do that in my sleep)…and Jeff said I snored last night. I told him…”Well, at least I was able to sleep”. A little bit. My headache is still close enough that I know it’s there….my throat hurts when I swallow and yes, I am whining. So, Jeff, you still gonna be my best fwend?

Can I file a report for hurricane “Grandson” damage??? Anyone??? help?

I’ll be on the Sisters of Faith site tomorrow…..Lord willing.

Day Sixty-Four

A. Knight

Read Matthew 18:1-9

After I read the scripture for today, I thought about all the choices people make. Some choices can hurt us, some can help us, or some can hinder us. I don’t want to ever cause someone to stumble because of my actions.

The choices we make today does affect those around us. One day, my husband, two children, and myself were out on the boat fishing. My husband talking to the kids, took a rock and threw it in the water and said, “Did you see that rock go in the water, and all the waves and ripples it made in the water? Well, I had control of the rock going into the water, but I could not control the ripples and where they would go and how far out they might reach. That is just like the choices we make, we never know who it might affect, so, we must be wise in our decisions.” I thought about that illustration a lot, it had a good message. Later on, when my son was going out one night, his dad handed him a rock and said, “Son put this in your pocket as a reminder of making wise choices.” A few days later, my husband asked our son if he still had the rock, and he said, “No, I gave it to a friend that had a big decision to make.”

Children, have such a special place in the heart of God. They have the purest praises to Him. It hurts my heart to think of children being abused. I could never work for the DCF (Dept. of Children and Families) or HRS, because I’m afraid I would get so angry at people that abuse their children and want them locked-up immediately, and I would want to bring the children all home with me and love them! I’ve always thought that’s what vs. 6 was talking about. It seemed to me, God didn’t have alot of patience with child abusers either.

People often try to blame their sin on someone and past experiences. “My momma spanked me too much, I didn’t have a father at home, or my parents never told me they loved me, so that’s why I did what I did.” Lots of excuses for their sin. But the bottom line is they took the bait satan set for them. Beth talked about the “trapper and being trapped” and how all the blame shouldn’t be on the “trapper,” because when we take the bait from satan, “we are still responsible for: 1.) Repenting of the sin of taking the bait. 2.) Learning why we took the bait. 3.) Asking God to mend and fortify the weak places in the fabric of our heart, soul, and mind so we will not continue life as a victim.”

Vs. 8&9 talk about getting rid of the things in our life that might cause us to stumble or keep us from living the life God rewards. I once heard it said, “if it takes it, ride the altar all the way to Glory.” In other words, “keep praying”. If it means going to Him daily with the same circumstance or issues until victory comes. Pray like Hannah did in I Samuel chapter 1, persistently making our requests known to God. We can give birth to our “baby”, if we keep knocking!

Dear Lord, I love you and praise you for a beautiful day you’ve given us today. We worship and honor you and give you praise for you alone are worthy of our praise. Walk with us today and whisper your words of guidance in our ears. May we not be a stumbling block to someone else, but help us be a stepping stone to draw them closer to you. I pray that when others look at our lives they see a reflection of you. Bless all the dear sisters and their loved ones in Jesus name I pray–Amen.

Devotion, Life, love

Prison of a Prodigal

A. Knight

My mother has a “serious business” prayer….when it is “serious business”. It’s called the “whatever it takes” prayer. The words of this prayer mean e-x-a-c-t-l-y that! WHATEVER IT TAKES….LORD—SAVE THEIR SOUL.

I don’t take this prayer lightly. I have prayed this prayer three times in my life. When this prayer is prayed….well, as the saying goes—”Katie– bar the door!” Or —you better look out!

I remember as a young woman, praying this prayer about my dad. He was a dad….running as hard as he could from God. He had been in and out of church all of his “decision making life”. When he became old enough to decide for himself whether or not to go….well, it was hit and miss.
I can clearly remember kneeling in a small church, at the front pew, and a sweet elderly lady kneeling beside me and asking me what I was praying for. I told her simply, “my dad”. “I want him to know Christ.” In the way that his mother before him had known Him.

When I was a young teen he had left our home—never to return as a resident. My parents divorced by the time I was sixteen and I remember how hard that decision was for my mother. I remember how hard that was for all of us. But my mother continued to bring up her children in the way of the Lord. To teach us “right from wrong”. I believe she succeeded. But I digress.

I prayed this prayer, “Lord, whatever it takes, save my dad. Don’t let him die and go to hell.” That was my fear. I knew that he was much like the prodigal son. He had taken what was his and left to live his life for himself. But he was still prayed for. He was prayed for by his mother. A very godly woman that never laid her head on her pillow at night without calling out the name of each of her children to the Lord. He was prayed for by my mother. Even though their lives together would never be the same, she still cared. He was prayed for by his children. He was dad after all. He was loved.

The prodigal path that he chose, became the “whatever it takes”. The “whatever it took” had an impact on all of our lives. But when you pray that prayer, you really don’t think of what it might actually take. The prodigal pig pen became a prison for the prodigal .

A prison can be a place of real physical metal bars, but can also be a place of steel deep in the mind and heart, created by the enemy. A place that seems to over take your life in such a way, you see no way out. That is exactly what the enemy of your soul wants you to see. He wants you to believe that “your family no longer cares”. He wants you to feel that “you are too far gone”. That you’ve done too much “sinning”, that you cannot be forgiven. That surely, by now, you are not important. Maybe he has even told some prodigals that they have even been replaced.

A child can never be replaced by another. This prodigal son was just as important to the frail praying mother as her other children. The tears that stung her eyes for the other children, fell just as hard for this prodigal. The “whatever it takes prayer” was taking a long time.

How much longer Lord? Isaiah 40:31 tells us this:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Waiting is hard to do. Praising and worshiping while waiting, is even more difficult. But His word says “wait”.

I would like to tell you that it was just “a little while” before he gave his life to God. But the road to realization is sometimes a long one. It was many years. Many battles—many heartaches. And many prison bars. The battles and heartaches are felt not only by the “prayed for”, but by the “individuals on their knees”.

Max Lucado is a favorite author of mine. In his book “Grace for the Moment”, on March 7, these words are his… “Though the road to the palace takes a detour through a prison it eventually ends up at the throne.”

When the prodigal comes home….every battle, every scar, every trial is worth it. His mother would tell you that. But she’d have to lean over the portals of heaven to do so. But she would. She would tell you that every night spent in anguishing prayers over her son was worth the fact that he did finally come to know her Lord and Savior…. I was reminded this past week, we don’t pray for the convicting power of the Holy Spirit over their hearts like folks did when I was growing up. Why? What happened? Did we feel that was too harsh? Is there such a thing when it comes to a lost soul? I am asking your opinion. I for one, want the Holy Spirit to continually speak to my heart and mind about things I say or do that are not Christlike. I am praying for Holy Ghost conviction over my loved ones as well.

Father in heaven, I am so thankful that as I kneel before your throne, I am joined by those that have prayed that “hard prayer”. That “whatever it takes” prayer. For some, it took a lot. For others, they came more swiftly. But Lord, no matter how long it takes, we continue in prayer for those that are lingering on the edges of the most important decision of their lives. We ask that you simply keep talking to their hearts. Keep stirring up their sleep! May the Holy Spirit convict them continually, of everything that is standing in the way of them giving it all up to You. Until they all come home. I love you Father —- and am thankful that You never left. You stayed through all the tough times. You have always been my Father. I will always be your daughter. In Jesus most precious name I pray~Amen.
