Keep yourselves from idols!

 
Prayer Power (Thurs, Nov 3, 2011)

REST: I went to bed at 9:15 pm after watching Survivor. I listened to my WWAB starting with Luke 7 and fell asleep quickly. I woke up at 4:25 am to use the bathroom and came back to bed. Maui got me up at 4:45 am.

ABIDE: After feeding Maui and letting her outside briefly, I took communion and then went to my Sacred Place for my Sacred Time. I stopped and sat on the basement stairs to read the Ten Commandments on the large wall poster. Three of the first four commandments stood out for me:

• Ex 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
• Ex 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.”
• Ex 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”

Then I read the Introduction to 1 John and then 1 John 1-5 (all) in my FCA (NIV) Bible. These scriptures stood out for me:

• 1 John 1:5b – This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
• 1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
• 1 John 2:3 – Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
• 1 John 2:15 – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
• 1 John 2:22 – Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
• 1 John 3:6 – Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
• 1 John 3:9 – Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
• 1 John 3:16 – By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
• 1 John 3:17-18 – But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
• 1 John 4:1-3 – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
• 1 John 4:7 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
• 1 John 4:16b – And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
• 1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
• 1 John 5:1 – Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
• 1 John 5:7 – For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
• 1 John 5:11-12 – And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
• 1 John 5:13-15 – These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
• 1 John 5:21 – Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Jesus, thank You for another good night’s sleep in a warm, comfortable bed. Thank You for our cars and the roof over our heads. Thank You for the ability to read and a Bible to read. Thank You for my craving for pure spiritual milk. I commit this day to You. Help me to focus on what’s most important to You and Your kingdom. Help me to intentionally tune into you every 15-30 minutes. I desperately want You to be the Navigator for my Life.

Joseph, thank you for spending this special time with Me. Thank You for quieting your mind, fixing your eyes on Me, tuning to spontaneity, and journaling. Every time you do those 4 things, be assured you will hear from Me. THE KEY to great success and much fruitfulness is simple – staying connected to the Vine – allowing Me to be the Navigator for your life. Look no further. Just practice what you know. Leave the results in My hands.

Now copy what you wrote down into your computer journal and post it at Journal777. Start sharing regularly on that blog. Feed My sheep! Let My rivers of living water flow through you into other people’s lives. BE blessed.

Idea: Share your daily life stories at Journal777.

My weekly Breakthrough Life Coaching call was outstanding. Robbie’s question about when I go to bed really hit a nerve after I realized I have not been recording my REST about 30% of the time. After our conversation, I was prompted to go through my journal and record how much rest I had each day in October and November. I realize that monitoring my rest closely is something that is very important for me to track on a monthly basis.

P.S.S. Spiritual Journaling will transform your life!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

 
On the night of Sunday June 8, 2008 I went to bed around midnight and chose not to set my PDA alarm. I woke up around 6:25 AM the next morning (June 9) to use the bathroom and then lay in bed for about 10 minutes resting and reflecting before finally getting up. When I got up, I immediately came to my office, knelt down, and prayed. After that, I began journaling on my computer.

The first thing I was prompted to do was write a message titled “Are you seeking BREAKTHROUGHS in your life?” to send to my Your Daily Blessing followers in two days (on March 11). The key scripture I had chosen was Habakkuk 2:2 – Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”

Next, Holy Spirit prompted me to help Dr. Jerry Graham prepare a Daily Gram (e-blast) for him to send to his 800 or so followers on Wed June 11 about the introductory journaling webinars (“UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs”) we were promoting together. The purpose of those was to spark interest in the 5-week UNCOMMON Journaling For DESTINY online coaching program we were launching live on June 17 and 18.

When I accessed Jerry’s Constant Contact (email marketing) account to post the message I had prepared, I discovered to my surprise that Jerry had already prepared an outstanding message titled “Journaling as Communion with God” using the exact same scripture verse I had chosen – Habakkuk 2:2.

In his message (upcoming email), Jerry mentioned that the two of us were teaming up to do a 5-week, 35-day on-line course in journaling (UNCOMMON Journaling For Destiny) with a special emphasis on understanding your life purpose or destiny. He went on to say this was an exciting combination of two of the most significant learning experiences he had been blessed with in his life, namely journaling as a means of engaging in a two-way dialog with God, and coaching with a specific emphasis on the “discovery” of one’s life purpose and destiny.

Jerry went on to write, “Over 25 years ago, I was taught to journal as a means of hearing God’s voice by Dr. Mark Virkler, who has since become a good friend and ministry colleague. Mark developed a seminar that he continues to teach to this day around the world, called ‘Communion With God’.” I recommend you CLICK HERE to read Jerry’s entire email message. Jerry is one of the most experienced DESTINY coaches in the world.

Jerry’s email (that he hadn’t even sent out yet) prompted me to call Dr. Mark Virkler later that afternoon (June 9). This was the very first time I had ever spoken to or met Mark Virkler and what he shared was so inspiring. I discovered that Mark is one of the top teachers in the world about spiritual journaling. As I was showing Mark how I journal online and shared the amazing story about Habakkuk 2:2 from that morning, Mark told me Habakkuk 2:1-2 is the foundational scripture for his Communion With God Ministries.

Now that grabbed my attention. 3 times in one day the LORD brought the same scripture (Habakkuk 2:2) to my attention and from 3 different sources. So I was all ears as Mark shared his profound wisdom and insights with me. And Mark promptly followed up our conversation by sending two emails, including one titled “You Can Hear God’s Voice!”

Early the next morning (Tuesday June 10), I woke up with Holy Spirit’s instruction to immediately apply Mark’s “4 keys to hear God” and also design a new computer desktop image with those 4 keys. After typing my prayer with a 2-way dialog with God, I was astonished with the result – a deeper intimacy with the LORD.

It’s interesting to note that Holy Spirit had actually prompted Jerry to refer me to Mark two weeks earlier knowing we were soon launching our journaling course because he knew Mark well and that he was one of more experienced journalers in the world. However, as most of us frequently do, I failed to seize the opportunity at that time.

How many times have you missed GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES because of failure to act in a timely fashion?

Prayer Power
LORD, you want each of us to learn to hear Your voice because You love us and have specific instructions to give us each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things You want us to know and to do. You know what works and what doesn’t. You want to take each of us to an entirely new level of abiding in You. You want us to experience Your love like never before. You want us to know that You’re not just here beside us, but You’re here to answer questions that we have. You have been waiting. Teach each of us to hear Your voice by applying Mark Virkler’s 4 simple keys. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

Blessings to learn to hear God’s voice by applying Mark’s 4 simple keys!

Hi Mark,

Last night I went to bed at 11:05 PM and chose not to set my PDA alarm. The Holy Spirit woke me up around 4:10 AM. I lay in bed wide awake for about 15 minutes and then got up at 4:20 AM, knowing I was to immediately apply your 4 keys. I have attached my new desktop background image (with your 4 keys) and my prayer from this morning. These will be an UNCOMMON blessing to you. Thank you for speaking LIFE into my life.

Blessings for divine provision!

Randy (Joseph) Peck’s two-way prayer from June 10, 2008 sent to Mark Virkler

Heavenly Father, here I go, writing out my spontaneous prayer early in the morning. I’m so excited to get back to what I’ve known for quite a while You want me to do. Forgive me for allowing all sorts of distractions to get in the way of this magnificent habit. Thank You for Your attention grabber yesterday with Habukkuk 2 and the UNCOMMON connection to Mark Virkler and his UNCOMMON message.

Thank You for waking me up early this morning knowing You wanted me to change my desktop background to include an image of Jesus, Mark Virkler’s 4 keys to hear from God, and Habukkuk 2:1-3. Thank You for each image of Jesus You led me to. Thank you Holy Spirit for using me as Your instrument to design the new image using Photoshop. I love it.

Jesus, I see You and hear You saying “You want to dine with me this morning and each day. You’re certainly welcome here in my home and wherever I go. I hear You saying “You want to start having two way conversations instead of one way ones. I hear You saying You’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.” I hear You saying “You’ve been knocking on the door of my heart – that You have the answers to the problems I’ve been facing and that the solutions are very simple. You have solutions to my financial difficulties.”

I hear you saying “Mark Virkler’s web page for Outstanding Links” is full of prospects and new contacts for you – people who have been waiting years to have God connect you to them.” I hear You saying, “Bless Mark – to open new vistas for him through social marketing.”

VISION: I see NEW HORIZONS OF OPPORTUNITIES opening for Mark as He steps into the Internet space age. I see Mark standing at the beach looking out at the ocean while a magnificent sunrise takes place. I see Mark fall to his knees and start to cry. This is what he has been waiting for. This is his MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH. I see people – lots of people starting to run up and surround Mark on the beach. So many people coming. They’ve been waiting to meet Mark. They want to just be near him. They want to learn from him. O God, I’m overwhelmed with what You are showing me. I’m overwhelmed by the joy on so may people’s faces.

Now I see the people around Mark beginning to sit down. Mark is starting to speak to them like You did, Jesus, for Your sermon on the mount. Now the people are eating while they listen. This is one of the most beautiful picnic scenes I have ever seen. So many people. Now more are coming. People are hungry for Your Word. They want to hear from You Jesus. This is what they’ve been waiting for. Overwhelming. Joy. Delight. Free thought. Freedom.

Now I hear You saying Jesus that “You want me to take everyone who signs up for Jerry and my 5 week online journaling course to go through something similar – to learn to hear God by following Mark’s 4 keys.”

I’m so excited. Thank You Jesus for showing this to me.

I hear You saying “You are going to open Mark’s eyes to the new horizons that WEBINARS will open for him. Not just doors, not just gates, but horizons of opportunities. I hear You saying “COVENANT with Mark!!!” You have knit our hearts together. You have been patiently waiting for this moment – for this opportunity to advance the Kingdom of God through the combination of journaling, coaching, and the web.

Praise be to God. Hallelujah. I receive. I will send this prayer to Mark this morning as You are telling me.

Now I see myself lying down to rest. You’re telling me go back to bed. Lay down. You’ve been obedient. My glory is upon You. People will be attracted to You because You will have the “AROMA OF CHRIST.” What you offer will be irresistible to so many people. Rest now. Rest. Peace be with you. My peace. Thank You for dining with me. I’ve really enjoyed this. Now you get it. It’s so easy. I’ve been waiting to have Mark teach you. You will never be the same. Thank You for your obedience – your UNCOMMON obedience. Thank You for acknowledging Me everywhere You go.

Jesus, I hear You say, “Cut and paste a specific verse from Proverbs 3 here now.”

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Thank You for directing my paths. You’ve gotten me here. I’m Yours – all Yours. Dead to myself. Alive in You – only in You.

Jesus, I’m going to email this prayer to Mark now along with the background image for my desktop You helped me design this morning. Then I’ll go to bed. Thank You for being my good Shepherd – my friend. I love You. I bless You.

Randy,

Wow! You really go for it!

Your new logo is great!

Your journaling is great!

You can take one more step with your journaling…

Journaling is two lovers sharing love… speaking back and forth.

So you can write in the first person, as Jesus speaking directly to you and calling you by name. He will say, “my son, I want to you know…” so He is speaking in the first person to you… rather than the way you have it written… “I hear you saying that…”

It is just one more step of faith for you to take… not a hard thing… it will come naturally.

You really should read our books “how to hear God’s Voice” and Dialogue With God.” And perhaps order the CD’s also on How to Hear God’s voice.”

You can listen to free downloads of me teaching on these four keys… free downloads at
http://www.cwgministries.org/Four-Keys-to-Hearing-Gods-Voice.htm

And your desktop creation.

Is that something we can upload to our website as a free download. Is that a screen saver image people could download and use on their desktops??? Excuse my ignorance.

And if we can do that, could you unsmoosh some of the works that got smooshed together and send me a finalized version we could put on our web and I could put on my computer.

And if there are ways you can help us spread this message faster to the world, I am all ears. My commission is to saturate the earth with the ability to hear God’s Voice.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the encouragement and further coaching to improve my prayer time.

I will order the books and CD’s you recommend.

You are welcome to use the desktop image that the Holy Spirit helped me create this morning as a free download on your website. That is an amazing gift from above to bless not only me, but many people in your network. I recommend your son schedule an appointment with my graphics artist (JJ) to work out the details for modifying the image and get things just the way you want. To do so, email my Admin Assistant. Currently we have a few spots available on Mon June 16.

Regarding helping you spread your message to the world, I recommend we schedule a meeting with you, your son, Jerry Graham, and me for the week of June 23-27. Please let me know 2 dates and times you are available that week.

Blessings,
Randy

——————————————————————————–

On June 18, 2008 the morning after the very first “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” class, I began the “daily” habit of applying Mark’s 4 keys to hear from God. Here is what Jesus told me in response to the Day #1 destiny question:

Day 1 Question
Lord, why do You want me to learn to hear Your voice?

Because I love You and I have specific instructions to give You each day – not vague thoughts, but specific things I want you to know and to do. Randy, I know what works and what doesn’t. I want to take you to an entirely new level of abiding in Me. I want you to experience My love like never before. I want You to know that I’m not just here beside You, but I’m here to answer questions that You have. I’ve been waiting.

All the things you’ve been praying and waiting for, I want to make happen. It was Me who put those desires in your heart. But first you had to learn to hear My voice. I know what order You are to do things, when You are to do things, what to do, and what not to do. I’m not a vague God. Just as you want your children to know clearly what you want them to do, so I want You to know clearly what I want You to to. I love You Randy. I want You to be married to Me, not just engaged. I can use you because You have a heart after my own heart. I’ve been preparing You. The time in NOW. Behold I do a new thing. My glory is upon You. My favor is upon You.

Jesus, I’m overwhelmed. This morning as I reflected back on yesterday, I realized all the breakthroughs that happened in just that one day. Then this morning, I have one of the most awesome days of my life. When Amy told me the Holy Spirit kept nudging her to pay for Beth Spangler, I was so grateful. Beth has been looking for and waiting for a friend like Amy for years. Thank You Jesus. Thank You.

Randy, this journaling course is more for you than it is for the participants. When I had Matt Gregory and Ben Stewart sign up as the first two people in the “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” course, that was huge. You see, I’ve brought them into your life to be in covenant relationship with you for life. The greatest habit I have blessed you with is journaling and now I want to have you bless them with that habit. I want to take them to a much deeper abiding in Me. I want them to learn to hear My voice. Thank You, Randy, for obeying my recent instruction to listen to Julia.

Randy, another reason I want You to hear my voice is because I want You and Mark Virkler to be in covenant relationship with one another. Mark will open doors for prominent church and ministry leaders. You will meet Dr. Yonghi Cho in 2008. I’ll let you know when. Prepare your devotional message now. Thank you for dining with me again. When you’re ready, come back. I’ll be here.

Note: On February 27, 2010 I officially began using my middle name (Joseph) instead of my nickname (Randy) per the LORD’s instruction.

REST: I went to bed at 10:15 pm tired, fell asleep within 5-10 minutes, and slept like a baby until about 5 am. I lay still in bed resting and reflecting before Maui got me up at 5:35 am.

ABIDE: After feeding Maui and letting her outside briefly, I came to my new Sacred Place (basement family room). After praying on my knees for a few minutes, I sat down on the comfortable sofa. First I prayed through Psalm 91 several times, personalizing it for me, Julia and me, Caren and Robbie, Will Green, and Nancy Slocum. Then using my Kindle, I read Genesis 29-30 and Psalm 8.

I discovered that Laban gave his daughter Rachel to Jacob after he he had spent 7 days sleeping with Leah as his new wife. This was before he served Laban another 7 years. I also realized that Jacob deceived several people before the LORD changed his name, including his brother Esau, his father Isaac, and Laban. Later, after wrestling with God, God gave him a new name (Israel) and new identity.

The other thing I realized is that Rachel’s first son was Joseph and after he was born, Jacob departed from Laban to begin a new life.

Genesis 30:22-25 Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.” So she called his name Joseph, and said, “The LORD shall add to me another son.” And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my country.

Here is the prayer I wrote in my “Sacred Time – Sacred Place” journal:

My key word for 2011 is COMMITMENT.

My key scripture is “Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no’!” (James 5:12)

And the key question is “What will be your legacy?”

Jesus, thank You for guiding Julia and me not to go out for New Years, but rather to go to bed early and get up early to start the new year off well. Thank You for the past year, for guiding me through that, for all the valuable life lessons I learned, and for all the people I was able to bless and serve.

My prayer for this new year is simple. Help me to honor (pray to) you morning, noon, and night each day like Daniel did. Help me to abide in You in a deep and rich way daily that I might bear much fruit for the Kingdom and Your glory.

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days. (Daniel 6:10)

Joseph, that is a wonderful prayer. That’s a great way to start off a new year. Be faithful (committed) to this new habit for the first 30 days (January) and that habit will become your routine. I have prepared you for an outstanding year in 2011. Do you part and I will do Mine. I AM your good Shepherd. I will protect you. During your quiet time 3x/day in January, I want you to read Psalm 91 3x/day. By the end of the month, you will have that memorized. Embrace and believe My promises of protection and deliverance. Your deliverance from the curses of Freemasonry was no small matter. Rejoice and BE exceedingly glad in Me and with Me. Bear much fruit.

He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit… (John 15:5, NASV)

Psalm 91 (NASV)

• 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty
• 2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!”
• 3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence.
• 4 He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
• 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flies by day;
• 6 Or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that lays waste at noon.
• 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not approach you.
• 8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
• 9 For you have made the LORD, your refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place.
• 10 No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent.
• 11 For He will give his angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
• 12 They will bear you up in their hands, that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
• 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
• 14 Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
• 15 He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
• 16 With a long life I will satisfy him, and let him see My salvation.

P.S.S. Spiritual Journaling will transform your life!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

Maui got me up at 5:25 am. After feeding her and letting her outside briefly, I came to my Sacred Place (sunroom) to journal using my brand new “Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal” for the first time. This was an UNCOMMON gift I received in the mail from Bruce (Cook) yesterday. The mail lady managed to deliver our mail despite the 4-5″ of new snow.

In his email to me dated December 15, Bruce wrote “BE expecting a powerful surprise this week! Just remember, in business it’s not always about whether you know someone. Often it Is about value that was created, or trust that leads to action.”

I began my quiet time in my Sacred Place by reading Patricia King’s introduction to her “Sacred Time, Sacred Place” journal. I happened to open to a page that said “In Memory of Oral Roberts!” That immediately grabbed my attention. Then I read the key scripture – Song of Solomon 2:14

O My dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret pace of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form, let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet, and your form is lovely.

Next, I read “A Divine Appointment With Oral Roberts.” Patricia wrote,

“Three months before Dr. Oral Roberts went to be with the Lord, I had the privilege of being with him in his home. Prior to his departure to glory, he invited a number of ministers from around the world into his private quarters to pray over them. During this time he allowed each to ask a question. I desired to know how he had maintained his devotion time in the midst of many years of leading large mandates and assignments from the Lord. Another guest asked the question before it was my turn and I will never forget his answer.

He called his daily time with the Lord his Sacred Time. He explained that when he went into his prayer closet no one was allowed to interrupt him – including his wife and children. Everyone in his family and ministry respected this sacred time – his time alone with God. No phone calls, no visits, no questions, and today we could say, no internet! He informed us that when God spoke to him in his Sacred Time, he obeyed immediately. He stated, “God never had to speak twice to me. When he spoke, I obeyed.” He pursued the Lord with an undivided heart and with full belief that God would speak with him just as He spoke with Moses – face-to-face as a man speaks to his friend.

The enormous fruitfulness of Dr. Oral Roberts’ worldwide ministry was clearly a result of the God encounters and visitation of grace he experienced in his uninterrupted and undisturbed Sacred Time and Sacred Place.”

Next I read “How To Have A Fruitful Devotional Time With Jesus!” This was so good. I especially liked Patricia’s simple teaching about “What to do in a devotional time?” One of the things that jumped out at me was this, “Make a list of things that distract. Somethings in the midst of your devotion time you might receive some distracting thoughts such as, “Oh, I better remember to pay that bill later and email a friend.” Keep a small notepad available, and write those things down so you do not have to think on them again until after your devotion time is over.”

Finally, I read her “One Year Bible Reading Plan.” The Holy Spirit then prompted me to start with Day #1, so I read out loud Genesis 1-2 and Matthew 1 in the Maxwell Leadership Bible declaring and decreeing God’s Word. As I read John Maxwell’s introduction to Genesis, I realized the book of Genesis has 50 chapters. The number 50 is very significant. As I read these 3 chapters in the Bible, these scriptures stood out

Genesis 2:24-25 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Matthew 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.

Joseph heard God and obeyed.

I then hand wrote this very first two-way prayer in my “Sacred Time, Sacred Place” journal.

Wow Jesus! My spirit is jumping for joy. Thank you for laying out the entire sequence of steps that were necessary to lead Bruce to sow this UNCOMMON seed – Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal” into my life. Thank You for this morning’s rich abiding time. To You, I give all glory, honor, and praise. Blessed be Your holy name.

Thank You Joseph for your obedience. Your past has not been wasted. Your choices and decisions have led you to this turning point. Today, I lay before you life and death, blessings, and curses. Therefore, CHOOSE LIFE. Choose Me. What you were missing was your Sacred Place. Even your Sacred Time was not sacred. Today you begin a new life in Me, with Me, and through Me. Today you move from the natural to the SUPERNATURAL.

Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. What are your desires?

Thank you for asking Jesus!

1) I’d like to be debt free by December 31, 2010.

2) I’d like to launch the 30-60-100 Master’s Mind Coaching by Christmas (2010).

3) I’d like to be praying and decreeing financial blessings with Julia starting today.

Ok, Joseph. I’ve heard your prayers and heart cry. BE blessed.

Blessings to establish a Sacred Time and Sacred Place and journal!

Joseph

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key

(7:05 am)
REST: I went to bed at 10:10 pm and chose not to set my PDA alarm. I woke up around 4:50 am and lay still resting and reflecting until 5:40 am when I got up to let Maui outside.

ABIDE: After feeding Maui, I went to My Secret Place (sunroom) to pray and read my Bible. I read Proverbs 7-8. I then prayed out loud all the prayers in the Prayers For Spiritual Warfare booklet.

Pr 7:1-5,27 My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin, That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words… Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.

Pr 8:1-10 Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice? She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors: “To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart. Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things; For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them. They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;

Jesus, thank You for another good night’s rest. Thank You for our comfortable bed and wonderful home. Thank You for the peace in our home. Thank you for Your holy Word that feeds my soul and spirit. Thank You for yesterday. Thank You my rich abiding time. Thank You for my fruitful meeting with Jim Mead. Thank You for my peer coaching meeting with Jerry. Thank You for Jerry’s alertness in recognizing the need to reserve a hotel for another night in Las Vegas. Thank You that this has opened the door for me to now meet with Sandy Trainer and possibly Dan Ollman. Thank You for the many small business owners who will be impacted as a result. Thank You for the call out-of-the-blue from Josh Page who opened the door to create some financial margin. Thank You for my phone conversation with Pat Badstibner. Thank You for Julia’s agreement on how to improve our finances. Thank You for my bike ride and time on the treadmill. Thank You for my play time with Maui. Thank You for the wonderful dinner Julia made. Thank You for saving Big Michael on American Idol.

Joseph, thank you for your heart of gratitude. Thank you for following hard after Me. Thank you for listening to My heart. Thank you for writing My commands on the tablet of your heart. Thank you for calling understanding your nearest kin. Thank you for your faith and prayers. Thank you for making the time to exercise almost every day for the past two weeks. Thank you for your trust in Me. I love you with an ever lasting love. I will never leave nor forsake you. I have your best interests in My heart and mind. I have your family’s best interests in My heart and mind. And I AM interceding for you every day. I have entrusted the right angels to you for you to accomplish the purpose I created you for. Taste and see that I AM good. I relish this time we spend together. I AM so grateful for our intimate relationship – a relationship of love and surrender to one another, a relationship of friends.

John 15:15 “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

Joseph, thank you for your persistence. Thank you for never giving up on Me or turning your back on Me despite your many trials. Thank you for your desire to bring unity to the Body of Christ. Thank you for the way you forgive those who offend you. Thank you for the way you pray for your enemies as I command. Thank you for putting me at the center of your life, ahead of everything and anything else. Thank you for the many ways you share about Me and encourage others to do so.

Joseph, I want you to now share this message at Journal 777. Feed My sheep. They are hungry. I bless you. My favor is upon you.

Joseph

P.S.S. Spiritual Journaling will transform your life!

UNCOMMON Journaling is the key
to unlock YOUR dreams!

Source: http://olinepublishing.blogspot.com/ (posted Dec 15, 2009)

1) You Will Develop a More Intimate Relationship With our Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! I’m sure you have written a love letter back when you were young, or wrote a sympathetic poem, both males and females. There is something about clearly putting down your feelings on paper that makes them more concrete and understandable/manageable by you. The same is true with your lifelong relationship with God. When you take time out to just sit down and focus on the ‘Great I AM’, and the reality of who He is to you expands your comprehensiveness. Do this on a regular basis, and you will be amazed at how much deeper and more real your understanding and your connection to the Lord will be.

2) It Will Revolutionize Your Faith! When you are going through a trial, it is great to have the living Word of God (Bible) there by your side. You can meditate on the countless times God came through for His people in the past. However, having your own book of answered prayers from the Lord in addition with your Bible can be even much better and truly revealing. Your prayer journal will be a ready reminder of the actual times God’s faithfulness was to you when you needed it most.

3) It Makes God’s Word Real (Living/Breathing)! Using a prayer journal is an excellent means of Bible Study and daily devotion. When you journal on the things God reveals to you personally, through the studying of His Word, the letters no longer just sit on the pages. It allows Him to reveal what they mean for you exactly where you are at that time.

4) You’ll Be More Focused During Your Prayer/Meditation Time! Have you ever been praying and the next thing you know, you’re thinking about today’s ‘To Do List’ or something else totally off topic? Writing down your prayers and intentions keeps you focused where it needs to be – on spending time with your Heavenly Father and what He wants for you to know for that moment.

5) You’ll Create A Lasting Legacy of Faith! Over time, your prayer journal will develop into a beautiful love story between you and the Lord. It will hold all of the truths that He reveals to your heart throughout the years of your daily journey with Him, and His great provision for your family through the years. A lasting legacy of faith and your ‘daily walk with the Lord’ – Wouldn’t that be something wonderful to pass on to future generations?

Would it be good for you to know where a child of God thoughts and feelings were on a certain but common issue? Would it help to know that another child of God really struggled with ‘this’ and ‘that’ and how God helped move them pass the confusion and struggle into ‘His light of clarity’? You bet it would be helpful and that is what you can leave for your loved ones. Remember it truly helps us humans to know that we aren’t the only one who struggles with a certain issue(s). We don’t like to be too very different than another and that is what you can leave for and to help your future loved ones.

Now because OLIN never wants to be just ‘average’ we have included with our prayer journal e-kit many other Christian helps and tools. Such as a printable tri-fold brochure called, ‘Find The Right Bible Passage’. You can print out as many as you want. Hand them out to others at work,school or the club. It is the most effective way we know of how to get another to open and read the Bible. We’ve also included several prayer books for your family to read, re-read and really dive in deep to understanding just what prayer, really is. A bunch of beautiful Christian stationery to write letters to others or to use as ‘household pin-up notes’. A large 482 page family devotional and six (6) different versions of the Holy Bible and a couple of easy to remember prayer books just for the kids. All this as well as the tools to be a better prayer warrior such as ‘custom Christian index cards’, ‘prayer time notification cards’, and ‘I prayed for you today’ printable mini booklets to handout’. This is the bulk of the e-kit, it includes a few other tools and helps but I didn’t want this to get too long. You can get all the details about our ‘Prayer Journal e-kit with Christian Stationery’ here .

So now we hope you better understand about prayer journals and what types of spiritual benefits it can bring you. We decided to lower our price on our package in order for more Christians to be able to give gifts during the holidays. We have even gone as far as to say but one e-kit, make everyone in your home a private prayer journal, then cretae a family prayer journal. Next give out individual printouts, a single e-book or make a three e-book set to give to another on your gift list. So please understand that when we said we would allow all this sharing and even lowered the price to under ten dollars, we can’t think of a easier way for cash strapped families to be able to still give gifts! We even have a link on the sales page for the e-kit that will open a window and instruct you in giving e-products if you don’t already know how to.

I really hope I have answered all the questions, given enough idea’s as to how to be able to give gifts this holiday. We have come to the fact that ten dollars is better than no dollars as we make our holiday plans and so on.So like I said in the last post, ‘It’s Almost a Christmas Miracle’, not because of just a ten dollars sale! No! Because it will allow those a chance to give gifts to their families and friends and we will have just enough for our plans!It’s about pulling it all together to work for ALL of us that makes it seem, Almost Like A Christmas Miracle. Please take advantage of this incredible offer but more importantly, make and use a prayer journal in the up-coming new year for you, your family and your friends. God bless, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at OLIN!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Today was another historical day of taking a stand for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT. Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December 2009 called “The Miracle of Christmas.”

Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan, Bertha Hinson, and me, Abigail Slocum. Clearly the Holy Spirit took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!

He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word – WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:

1. What is the Miracle of Christmas?
2. What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?
3. How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?
4. What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?
5. Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.

WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!

Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST! TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.

SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL. It is God’s free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).

What is so miraculous is that SALVATION IS THE “GREAT EXCHANGE!” MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!

When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD – THE CANDLE OF MAN, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

In this “GREAT EXCHANGE,” your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).

Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT.

Jesus’ arms are open wide and ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY “YES” TO JESUS who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!

IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.

LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE “THE GREAT ADVENTURE” IN CHRIST. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. RECEIVE GOD’S GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS, GOD’S GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. IMMANUEL HAS COME!

RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.

I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL! BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEART’S DESIRE. SHALOM.

Love in Jesus,

Nancy Slocum

Prayer Power

If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God’s Kingdom of Love.

Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.

May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore. May this truly be your most significant Christmas ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God’s LOVE FOR YOU, becomes an everyday reality in your life!

I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God’s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

I AM Track #5: “God of sacrifice: I AM the Christ. I AM the cup of the blood. I AM the eternal sacrifice. I AM the blood that cleanses you from sin. I AM the crucified Messiah of Calvary. I AM your righteousness. I AM the Yom Kippur offering to expiate all sins. I AM worthy to open and read the scroll. I AM Noah’s ark in a world still filled with sin. I AM the wine and the bread. I AM alive forever more. I AM the sprinkled blood of the Lamb on the doorposts of Israel. I AM the door to the Father. I AM the LORD who rescues those with a contrite spirit. I AM God’s Son sent to be seen face to face. I AM He that left heaven for you. I AM your sanctification. I AM the blood atonement. I AM God’s only Son. I AM eternally blind to what I’ve forgiven. I AM the bread of life broken for you. I AM He who blots out your transgressions. I AM supplication. I AM the pierced Messiah. I AM the keeper of the keys to Hades and death. I AM the God of your salvation. I AM the Lamb that was slain. I AM the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I AM outside the camp. Come to Me! I AM the way, the truth, and the life.

WELLNESS: I brushed my teeth and then took a long shower. I took the Mannatech Optimal Support packet and Immunostart. Thank You Jesus!

ABIDE: After taking holy communion, I reviewed my top annual goals and 36 Christian ways to reduce stress. Then I came to my desk and begin journaling while listening to David Teems. Thank You Jesus!

(7:20 am)

(8:30 am)
Jesus, thank You for another good night’s sleep. Thank You for the peace and quiet in our home. Thank You for ears to hear and eyes to see what our Father is doing. Thank You for the opportunity to listen to my scheduled iTunes playlist this morning before I got up. Thank You for the 3 group prayer calls yesterday. Thank You for coach Deb sharing her message “Continue the course” and vision of the icebreaker ship, representing me, setting the whales free. Thank You for the people who signed up for the “Introduction to UNCOMMON Stewardship” webinar. Thank You for the opportunity to visit with my father for a little while.

Jesus, I gladly sit at Your feet with ears open to what You want to share.

Randy, thank You for taking this time to commune with Me. I AM the Vine – your Vine, your source to thrive and bear much fruit for My Kingdom. My ways are very different than the world’s ways, so very different. My thought are very different than the world’s thoughts – much, much higher.

Pr 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Jesus, please teach me what fear of the LORD means.

Randy, thank You for asking. Fear of the LORD first and foremost means protecting our relationship, not letting anything get in between us. It means prioritizing Me and our love for one another. It means trusting in Me completely in all areas of your life, regardless of the storms around you. It means have a deep respect for My holy Word and trusting in My promises. It means speaking the truth in love unabashedly. Fear of the LORD means not wanting people to go to hell where they will be separated from Me for all eternity. It means praying, praying, and praying some more, because prayer moves the hand of My Father. It means laying down your plans and your agenda daily and allowing Me to reign and rule in your life to bring My Kingdom everywhere you go. It means loving God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength and loving your neighbor as yourself. It means seeking My Kingdom and My righteousness first every day, throughout the day.

Randy, I want My children to experience Me in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit like you do nearly every day. Thank You for posting regularly to your Journal777 blog. You are modeling what I wants millions of My children to start doing. The Words From Jesus movement came from My heart and I will bless that enormously. Renato has been your greatest new blessing this year. I want you to sow seeds, financial seeds into his life and Patrizia’s. In doing so, you will bless marriages around the world. Taste and see that I AM good. I AM your Deliverer. I AM your Rock and salvation. I will strike down your enemies before you. No weapon formed against you will prosper.

Ps 2:1-8 Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.”

OK, Jesus, you told me to ask You to give me the nations and the end of the earth for my possession, so I do, not for my name sake, but for Yours. May You be highly exalted.

Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Ps 24:7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.

Rejoice greatly! Shout in triumph. Behold, Your King is coming to you.

UNCOMMON Stewardship: Week 1, Day 1 Question – LORD, what are reasonable goals for me to set and achieve in 4 weeks, 3 months and one year from this course?

Randy, just preparing for the UNCOMON Stewardship course helped you establish the habit of daily 2-way journaling and posting what you hear on the Journal777 blog. This in turn birthed the Words From Jesus weekly prayer call. Now on Dec 5 you are starting a WFJ webinar with Renato and Patrizia and Lynne Lee.

In 4 weeks, you will learn how to be a much better steward with your own time, talent, treasure, and temple. I will stomp out many bad habits you have and replace those with habits that will much fruit, both in heaven and on this earth. The main student in your course is you. As you prepare the weekly messages and learn from those, people will see a noticeable change in your behavior. So the biggest change for you in 4 weeks will be your BEING, from which your doing will forth.

3 months from now, thousands of people will have taken your course. You will have submitted several press releases and been interviewed on major media networks. I will promote you as My journaling authority to prompt many more of My children to journal strategically. Of course, you will see substantial financial fruit from godly stewardship. You will have more time and money to spend with your family and close friends. The way will have been prepared for the Italy retreat “Experiencing God in Extraordinary Ways For Extraordinary Fruit.”

In one year, people will hardly recognize you. You will have grown from being relatively unknown to being a great salesman. You will have inspired ten of thousands of people to start their own blogs to share messages they are receiving from My Father’s heart. Your children will be working with you. UNITY in your family, in Culpeper, in Virginia. Light going forth from Me through you. The global media center will be established in Zion Crossroads. I AM reclaiming the air waves. Julia’s coffee business will have exploded.
