KEEP ON KEEPING ON / Let Us Not Lose Heart

This is the 4^th of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:5

"Love Is Not Fretful, Anxious or Worrisome"

KEEP ON KEEPING ON
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Matthew 7:7 NLT; Galatians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."

The word fret means to worry or to wear away by constant wear or rubbing. So to fret is to constently think, speak and believe all the reasons why you can’t do something wearing away your faith. Fretting is in total opposition to Faith. To have faith in God is to constantly think, speak and believe all the reasons why you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. It is to pray and keep praying without fainting.

And let us not be weary in well doing: 

for in due season we shall reap,

if we faint not.

Every promise God gives us, in His word and through a personal prophetic word, will be tested. We will be recipients of those promises if we are not moved by our 5 senses that attempt to ware away our faith and cause us to give up on believing God for the fulfillment of his promises.

Thank you for the promise that the one who asks and keeps on asking and the one who will not faint will receive. I hold tightly to the promise that you will answer me in due time.

LET US NOT LOSE HEART

Devotion: Pray And Keep On Praying

(Adapted from Matthew 7:7 NLT; Galatians 6:9 KJV; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

Chorus:

Let us not lose heart

And grow weary and faint from doing what is right

For in due time and at the appointed season,

We will reap if we do not faint

Verse:

So then as we have occation and opportunity

Let us do good to all people, be a blessing

Especially to those of the household of faith,

Your fellow believers

THE FRET ZONE! / Don’t Doubt

This is the 3^rd of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:5

"Love Is Not Fretful, Anxious or Worrisome"

THE FRET ZONE!
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Matthew 7:7; Galatians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.

Keep on seeking, and you will find.

Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."

This scripture exemplifies faith. Faith is the opposite of fret. Fret means to worry and be anxious over something and it actually wears away faith. To fret is to constantly think, speak and believe all the reasons why you cannot do something and eventually will extinguish your faith. On the other hand, to have faith in God's promises is to constantly think, speak and believe all the reasons why you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. To exercise faith is to pray and keep praying without fainting.

"And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

Every promise God gives us in His Word or through a personal prophetic word, will be tested. We will be recipients of those promises if we are not moved by our five senses that attempt to move us into the fret zone, wear away our faith and cause us to give up on believing God for the fulfillment of His promises.

Father, thank you for Your Word that promises us that the one who asks and keeps on asking and does not faint, will receive. I hold tightly to this promise that You will answer me in Your perfect will and in your perfect timing.

DON’T DOUBT

(Adapted from Matthew 7:7; Galatians 6:9 KJV; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

Verse 1:

Seems there’s never been a trial like the one your in

The valleys so low you question

Lord how can I win

Just remember that higher plain

Where you were when the promise came

What’s more important than where you are is where you’ve been

Chorus:

Don’t you doubt in the darkness what God showed you in the light

Don’t give up your armor in the middle of the fight

And don’t relinquish the trial, your God given right

Don’t doubt in the darkness what God showed you in the light

Verse 2:

That old accuser of the brethren sometimes comes around,

Trying to make your faith have a breakdown

But on that mountain what God showed you

In the valley is still true

God is as good as His word,

what He said, he’s going to do

NO WORRIES GOD IS IN CHARGE / This Is Your Service Lord

This is the 2^nd of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:5

"Love Is Not Fretful, Anxious or Worrisome"

NO WORRIES GOD IS IN CHARGE

by 
Kent Cooley

(Adapted from John 5:19; Mark 4:35-41; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

After traveling with an evangelist for seven years, I held one of my first revivals at a church in a little town called Bono, SC. I set my keyboard up right next to the pulpit. Every night the pastor introduced me with these words, “This is Your Service Lord. We are Your servants.” One night after she introduced me with these words, I went to the keyboard and replied, “Let’s just sing that.” And I began to sing a chorus and bridge perfectly as if I had been working on it all day. We sang it for a good while and the Spirit moved. “This Is Your Service Lord” became the sub-title to our first “Songs of the Sanctuary” praise and worship CD. These words have been my anthem ever since and this is why. I have come to realize that God is God and I am not. He is in charge and I am not. All I have to do is wait on my instructions from my Commander in Chief and do what he tells me to do. Jesus exampled this principle perfectly. He said,

“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,

the Son is able to do nothing of His own accord;

but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing,

for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way.”

Jesus had no worries, His Father was in charge. Even when the disciples were on a ship, frantic with panic, concerned that they would perish on the sea from the storm, Jesus was asleep. Jesus demonstrated that he had no worries. He was at peace in the storm. He responded to the panic of the disciples by asking, “Where is your faith?” This response fully proves that He expects us to have the same kind of peace in the time of storm. He fully expects us to have the same authority over the storm that He had. He fully expects us to rest assured in the Fathers love and care for us. He fully expects us to have the same inner knowing that the Father is in control of the situation. No worries; God is in Charge!

CLOSE THE DOOR 2 ANXIETY / Don’t Worry

This is the 1^st of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:5

"Love Is Not Fretful, Anxious or Worrisome"

CLOSE THE DOOR 2 ANXIETY
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Cor. 13:5; Phil 4:6; 1 Peter 3:4)

I will not fret or have any anxiety about anything. Worry is believing that bad things are going to happen. I refuse to open the door of anxiety for the enemy to walk through.

Lord, I close all the doors that give access to the enemy this morning. I close the doors of anxiety and worry. I close them by repenting of entertaining ideas and thoughts that the enemy offers. I keep the doors closed by confessing Your words over my life today. Holy Spirit, remind me to be thankful about everything. When circumstances arise that pull me again to the door of anxiety and worry, remind me to speak words of thanksgiving and words that are positive and full of life.

“Child, keep talking to Me. Bring your requests and petitions and concerns to Me all through your day. Add an expression of gratitude and contentment of where I have you right now. I will give you peace that will slam the door on fear. My peace transcends and surpasses all understanding and My peace will guard your heart and mind constantly. I search the hidden person of your heart. I look for your desire to please Me. When I see that heartfelt desire, I give you peace and peace gives you a gentle and charming spirit. And this is precious in my sight.”

ENJOY JUNE / June Afternoon

This is a devotion and music video
 focusing on God's love for us 
in that, according to 1 Timothy 6:17, 
He gives us richly all things to enjoy

ENJOY JUNE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Ecclesiastes 12:13; 1 Timothy 6:17)

The blueberries are harvesting.  You can go right down the road and handpick them.  Bogue Sound watermelons are ripening on the vine right here in eastern North Carolina, the best watermelon in the country.  Silver Queen corn is brought in from the fields and sold at the corner fruit stand.  It only lasts for a few weeks but there is no sweeter corn in the world.  And tomatoes are growing on vines in back yard buckets.  School’s out; hurricane season has begun, the baseball fields are full of kids and if you sit on the front porch, you might hear the sound of the ice cream truck turning the corner in the neighborhood.  It is June everywhere you look! 

I overheard a conversation in a beauty shop one time.  A young woman who was strikingly beautiful and intelligent and a newlywed and had recently given her heart to God was telling another woman that she felt she had no purpose in life.  She said she was searching to see what she was to do with her life.  I wasn’t supposed to be listening but if she had asked me, I would have told her she could find her answer in the writings of Solomon:

“All has been heard and the end of the matter is this:

Fear God – revere and worship Him 

and keep His commandments,

For this is the whole of man 

- the full, original purpose of his creation,

the object of God’s providence, 

the root of character,  

the foundation of all happiness,

 the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances 

and conditions under the sun

and the whole duty of man.”

Today, Solomon might say it like this:

After all is said and done, the end of the matter is this:

Glorify God by acknowledging His presence; enjoy Him and His creation. 

Life is meant to be enjoyed with laughing, dancing, love and peace.

A wise person can sort out life’s complexities and still balance the joys with the sorrow, the calm with the pain and the peace with the battle.

A wise person knows the foundation of all happiness and respects God and His creation. 

Father, I look around me on this June afternoon, and I am reminded to enjoy your creation.  Thank you for the change of seasons, the process of seed time and harvest and the remarkable beauty of Your divine design.  Enjoying your presence inspires me to walk in love.  I understand and know this is my entire purpose in life.

Where to go on a hot summer day 

Where to go, where to get away

It's a June afternoon (repeat)

Sitting in the shade, 

Holding hands and smelling sweet perfume 

On this June afternoon

Watermelon juice is dripping down little chins

My little wife and all my babies 

Happy, content enjoying life

THE MASTER’S LIST / My Way or the Highway

This is the 7^th of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:5

"Love Does Not Insist On It's Own Way”

THE MASTER’S LIST

by

Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Proverbs 18:13; James 1:19;1 Corinthians 13:5)

Rebellion can show its ugly head in many different facets in our lives. It can be very subtle and undergirded or it can be ‘in your face’ defiance. At either extreme, rebellion is an act or attitude against authority. When you do the opposite of what you are asked to do, it is rebellion. When you don’t do something you are asked to do, it is rebellion. When you argue and insist on your own way, it is rebellion. The Bible says that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. That means the devil is very involved in it.

As an Honor School student, seeking to make the Master’s List, it is our assignment to stand against the enemy's ploys and expose and remove rebellion from our own hearts and the hearts of our children.

Father, I look inside and examine my own heart and I rid myself of any and all rebellion. With this old hymn, I pray,

Let Thy goodness, 
like a fetter bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; 
prone to leave the God I love.

Here's my heart, O take and seal it, 
seal it for Thy courts above.

Father, I give you permission to expose rebellion in my heart and to make me repel it far from me. I do not want rebellion hidden in the crevices of my heart and left to grow in my personality. Thank you for teaching and training me to recognize rebellion first in me and remove it.

MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

Devotion: The Masters List

(Adapted from Proverbs 18:13; James 1:19; John 13:34; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

Verse 1:

Should I say, 

“Lord here’s my list, would You come and bless it?

Or should I pray, “Not my will but Yours;

I will go where ever You send me?

Chorus 1:

It’s my way or the highway

That’s not love, that’s not love

It’s God’s way, not my way

That is when I begin to Love the Lord

That is when I love the Lord

With all my heart and mind and strength

Verse 2:

Should I say to my friends,

“You’ve got to do it my way?”

Or should I ask,

“Got any ideas that you’d like to send me?”

Chorus 2:

It’s my way or the highway

That’s not love, that’s not love

How about you, what would you like to do?

That is when I begin to love my neighbor

That is when I begin to love them even as myself

Bridge:

I won’t insist on my own way,

Not with the Lord, not with my neighbor

But I will yield to the Lord today,

“Lord have Your way and let others have their say

I’ll let others have their say
