<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>If you talked to me face-to-face this week or over the phone or even via email, it was likely I was so hyper about Psalm 91 that I spoke it all over you. I spoke it to Dineen and Noreen, Lauralyn and Pam, Jolene and Rosheeda. Heidi, Eric and at least twenty-one other women in my Bible study groups. If I haven’t spoken it over you yet, just give me time. *grin* </p>
<p>I am psyched about God’s word. </p>
<p>I have always been infatuated, intrigued, inspired, and improved through the Holy Word of God, however, recently I am understanding, a fresh, just how powerful God’s Word is in our everyday living. I am also finding that many believers don’t fully comprehend the power of our words and the power of God’s words. </p>
<p>Well our time of ignorance is drawing to a close. As of today, satan, is put on notice. We are men and women who are marching for the Kingdom with God’s words going out before us. We will not be thwarted, nor defeated. As of this moment we are kickin’ butt and taking names… </p>
<p>I told you I was wound up!!!!! </p>
<p>I posted the photo below here at SUM on May 16, 2008. Hanging these scriptures in my home several years ago would be an invitation to an argument. But over time God soften my husband and today I look above my sink and know this passage is one to shout to the world. Literally. </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a663ee20970b-pi" style="DISPLAY: inline"><img alt="Psalm 91 numbers 624" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a663ee20970b " src="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a663ee20970b-320pi" title="Psalm 91 numbers 624" /></a> <br /><a href="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a663df8b970b-pi" style="DISPLAY: inline" /></p>

<p>I hope you had an opportunity to hear Connie from Friday’s post. She told us how powerful God’s Word is and the victories which avail in our lives. If you didn’t hear Connie, scroll down and listen. Also, Connie left a powerful comment following that post. Take time to read it and then come back. </p>
<p>Now let’s look at these few verses from <em /></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><strong>Psalm 91. </strong></p><em><span>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><strong>9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge- </strong></p></span></em>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><em><span><span><strong>10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. </strong></span></span></em></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><em><span><span><strong>11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;</strong></span></span></em> </p>
<p>Now I have a serious question for you. Do you really believe these words? Do you believe that no harm will befall you? No disaster will strike your home. Do you believe with all of your being, God commands angels to stand guard around your home, your car, office, and your children? </p>
<p>Why then does disaster strike? These are the questions believers sometimes ponder in the moments of doubt or in the midst of struggles. We are going to answer these questions to your complete satisfaction and triumph in the weeks ahead. </p>
<ul>
<li>We will look at “Words.” 
<li>We are going to find the scriptures verses which instruct us with regard to words. 
<li>We will find out why our spoken words matter very much. 
<li>We will uncover how to have the power of Psalm 91 and all scripture living and active in our life. 
<li>We will be able to read Psalm 91 and know we have these promises with absolute surety. 
<li>We will take on the purpose of struggle/correction. 
<li>We will KNOW how to pray with power and conviction. 
<li>Our prayer life will never be the same. </li>
</li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul>
<p>Let’s begin: The key to <em><strong>Psalm 91</strong></em> is in verse one. </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><em><strong>1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.</strong></em></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><em /></p>
<p>Connie pointed this out on Friday. We must abide. Dwell. Live. Inhabit. Stay. Without movement or influence from the world. We need to dwell with the Lord 24/7. If you participated in the Mind of Christ Experiment last month then you are well on your way. Dwelling with God is simply Christ on the throne of your life. Always. Period. The End. </p>
<p>Living in such intimate and moment-by-moment relationship is the fulfillment of verse one. If you are living verse one you are inline for the promises. </p>
<ul>
<li>Rest 
<li>Refuge 
<li>Rescue from deadly pestilence. This is a literal promise. Look at Connie’s life. 
<li>No fear from the terror in the night Angels will guard you 
<li>You won’t even stub your toe or bruise your heel 
<li>You will trample the serpent (satan) 
<li>God will answer your prayers 
<li>He will give you long life 
<li>He will honor you 
<li>He will satisfy you </li>
</li></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul>
<p>Why do we let these promises slip through our fingers? Why do we pray and pray and pray and God doesn’t answer with these powerful pledges? I think I know the answer to this question. It’s what we do with our words after we pray. Hmmmmm, fascinating but absolutely true. Can’t wait to tell you more about it. </p>
<p>We are going to examine all of this and at the end you will be able to pray down heaven. The way God has always intended. God has work for us to do. The time is short and He is calling us to be ready for battle. He does not expect us to battle a losing effort but in victory. This is our time. </p>
<p>If you are reading this today, YOU have been called to such a time as this. No other generation has been witness to the changes in which we are bearing witness. Marriage redefined, ramped pornography, violence, murder, greed flows ramped. But, behold Greater is He that is in me (and you) than he that is in the world. Praise Jesus. </p>
<p>Begin today. Go to <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2091&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank">Biblegateway.com (click here)</a> and print out Psalm 91. Write out the first three verses on a 3x5 card and begin to memorize the first three verses. Take this card with you in your wallet, purse, brief case, laptop case, whatever. Just take it. Read it often and commit it to memory. </p>
<p>God’s Word stored in our memory are the bullets in the gun against the enemy. Scroll down and read the post from Tuesday about going into battle with an empty gun. Are you ready to have victory? Do you want to see God alive and active in your life? Well, here we go. </p>
<p>An awesome expedition awaits. </p>
<p>I love you. Thank you for staying with me through this long post. Our world is about to be ROCKED and it is a good thing. A very good thing. Be blessed, Lynn </p></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. </p>
<p>Let’s talk. Spiritual warfare is real. Literally good and evil are at ware every minute of every day. It surrounds you and is likely unfolding right above your unsuspecting head. </p>
<p>If you are living in a spiritually unequal marriage it is likely that we are on the front line of this battle field. Although you may not want to be a participant, you are by default. This can sound scary. BUT FEAR NOT! </p>
<p>We are about to discover how much power we really have over the enemy. I learned so much about this while at the blogger’s retreat. There I met Connie Haile. She is currently healed and whole from cancer. </p>
<p>In March of 2008 Connie was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. The doctor told her husband that she had only three to six weeks to live, but Connie said with resolute faith, “my God is the great physician.” Undergoing treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, she quickly took advantage of the opportunity to minister to everyone that crossed her path. She shared the love of Jesus with patients and staff and declared that she was healed and whole in Jesus name. Connie is grateful for the time that God allowed her to be a light in a dark world. Needless to say, Connie proved that God’s word is true and the He honors His word above His name. </p>
<p>Connie is exhibit “A” of God working through her spoken words of prayer. We are going to learn together what she shared with all of us at the conference. Let’s begin with Psalm 91. I call this my power passage. And IT IS! </p>
<p>Listen to my new southern friend Connie.</p>
<p>
<object height="360" width="580"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aIKTIwKzrkI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />

<p>Okay, that Southern charm is commin' through. She is adorable. </p>
<p>Today, open your Bible and read Psalm 91 OUT LOUD. We will talk more about this in the days ahead. </p>
<p>Rember this as you read. You are chosen. You are God's own child. Christ's is our Redeemer. What then shall we fear?</p>
<p>Be blessed, Lynn</p></div>

<p>Let us give thanks. It is Thankful Thursday. </p>
<p>This month we will meet at <a href="http://www.eph2810.com/">Grace Alone.</a> December we will return to <a href="http://womentakingastand.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Women Taking A Stand.</a> </p>
<p>Iris, great thoughts this Thankful Thursday. Trials. </p>
<p>Well, I find it interesting that Iris was thinking about trials. </p>
<p>I will share something with you. For the past several (several) years each November, I experienced excruciating personal trials. In fact, last year at precisely this time, my husband was told he was going to lose his job. The year before, another devastating personal health problem knocked upon my door. Why November? Why every year? </p>
<p>Well, I sat down last year with a wise woman whom I trusted. She is mature and knows the Lord. I asked her, “Why does this happen each November. Why is the Lord putting me through these trials every year at the same time of the year?” </p>
<p>She answered in her wise fashion, “Lynn, you may not know why but perhaps you need to pray about these trials in a different manner.” </p>
<p>“Hunh” </p>
<p>“Lynn, instead of asking God to keep you from these trials, perhaps you need to ask Him to prepare you to face these trials with Him at your side.” </p>
<p>“Whoa” </p>
<p>I hadn’t thought about this. The light bulb clicked on. </p>
<p>So during October I prayed differently. </p>
<p>I don’t know what the month of November will bring. But, I am prayed up and I can face what may come. Although this month, I am feeling in my spirit not trials but </p>
<p><strong><em><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 14px"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 15px">TRIUMPH!</span></span></em></strong> </p>
<p>Healed and whole in the name of Jesus. </p>
<p>Salvation for many in the name of Jesus. </p>
<p>Rich growth in the faith in the name of Jesus. </p>
<p>What a difference a year makes. What a difference the Lord makes. What a difference prayer makes. </p>
<p>Be blessed, Lynn </p></div>

<p>November 02, 2009<br /><strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">When Tempted, Resist the Devil</span></strong><br />by Rick Warren</p>
<p><em>"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 NIV).</em><br /><br />After we've humbled ourselves and submitted to God, the Bible teaches us to defy the Devil. We don't passively resign ourselves to his attacks. We're to fight back.<br /><br />The New Testament often describes the Christian life as a spiritual battle against evil forces, using war terms such as fight, conquer, strive, and overcome. Christians are often compared to soldiers serving in enemy territory.<br /><br />How can we resist the Devil? Paul tells us, <em>"Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"</em> (Ephesians 6:17 NLT).<br /><br />The first step is to accept God's salvation. You won't be able to say no to the Devil unless you've said yes to Christ. Without Christ we're defenseless against the Devil, but with "the helmet of salvation" our minds are protected by God. Remember this: If you are a believer, Satan cannot force you to do anything. He can only suggest.<br /><br />Second, you must use the Word of God as your weapon against Satan. Jesus modeled this when he was tempted in the wilderness. Every time Satan suggested a temptation, Jesus countered by quoting Scripture.<br /><br />He didn't argue with Satan. He didn't say, "I'm not hungry," when tempted to use his power to meet a personal need. He simply quoted Scripture from memory. We must do the same. There is power in God's Word, and Satan fears it.<br /><br />Don't ever try to argue with the Devil. He's better at arguing than you are, having had thousands of years to practice. You can't bluff Satan with logic or your opinion, but you can use the weapon that makes him tremble--the truth of God.<br /><br />This is why memorizing Scripture is absolutely essential to defeating temptation. You have quick access to it whenever you're tempted. Like Jesus, you have the truth stored in your heart, ready to be remembered.<br /><br />If you don't have any Bible verses memorized, you've got no bullets in your gun! I challenge you to memorize one verse a week for the rest of your life. Imagine how much stronger you'll be. </p></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>I feel slightly melancholy as I wave farewell to our Mind of Christ Experiment. Wow, we spent only 30 days focused fully on Christ. Lives were changed. I have to echo what Dineen said on Friday, “If this is what God can do in us when we give him complete control for 30 days, imagine what our entire lives can be when we give him every day!” </p>
<p>AMEN!! </p>
<p>I know this journey is only the beginning. Please write me as the Lord moves you along in your journey. I want to share in the victories and give all honor and praise to Jesus. I want to thank Dineen Miller, my writing partner and our guest contributor, Angela Smith. I told them both about this experiment way back in August. They were enthusiastic about what the Lord was planning. The Lord placed inspired words in their hearts. </p>
<p>Thank you Dineen! </p>
<p>Thank you Angela! </p>
<p>So where do we go from here. I have so much to share. I need to tell you the Lord is moving in our house. I want to share with you some of the details but the Lord has asked me to wait until all of His plan comes to a pinnacle. So, I wait. I pray. I trust and I get to watch from my front row seat the miracle of the Almighty in my tiny, tiny life. I am undone by His grace and favor. </p>
<p>I ask you to wait with me and pray too. I promise the ending will blow your mind. Always does mine. Okay? </p>
<p>Until the Lord releases me to share and bring Him glory, I have a ton of things I am dying to tell you about. I have many new BFF’s I connected with at the Blogger’s Retreat. On Friday I will introduce you to one of them. Now get ready because we are going to really learn what it is like to see God’s word – living and active. If you have ever wondered about that scripture and what it truly means as well as the power behind it, then get on board because it’s gonna’ ROCK YOUR WORLD. By the way, it’s gonna’ rock satan’s world and he is terrified. That’s Friday. </p>
<p>Today I am feeling compelled however to join in with e-Mom at Chrysalis and everyone there as our Marriage Monday topic is; A Love Letter to My Husband. Here is mine. </p>

I find that I have to keep my eyes and my mind and my heart on Jesus minute by minute because if I don't...the world and all its "stuff" tries to creep its way in. I only truly feel at peace when I focus on Jesus. Posted by Stacy</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr">
<p>Hi all! Sorry I haven't commented in a while. No, I haven't run away. There was a big break through in my life at the end of the second week and I have just so enjoyed the fellowship and love of the Lord since then. Last night was an awesome experience. I can't stop thinking about it. You know, one of those BIG moments where you KNOW, that you KNOW, it was ONLY GOD'S PERFECT timing. EXACTLY the right place and time. Another few seconds one way or the other things could have been completely different outcome!! WOW! God is so good!! We must stay in HIS WILL at every moment. A few seconds either direction can impact another person's life in a dramatic way. I am so humbled that he would choose me to "assist" for a moment in time. Love to you all! </p>
<p>To Lynn, Dineen and Angela. THANK YOU to you all for submitting to the Lord during this study. Your willingness to put God in charge and to be used by Him, allowed many of us to grow. Lots of HUGS from the South! Posted by Anita M. </p></blockquote><span lang="EN">
<p>Sweet Lynn(Dineen and Angela too), this was such a precious time for all of us. I wish I could tatoo Finney's story on my brain and in my heart-for this is my cry-I want more of Him. I'm tired of looking at churches and men to fill our needs, it is high time we look to Jesus alone. He is where our focus should be. Thank you ladies for all that you have shared. Blessings, Noreen</p></span></span></div>

<p>Jesus died for me, Bonnie. It's not shivers down my back, it's my whole body quivers. How much is wrapped up in that little statement. There is much humility in that statement - it's not about me but it's about what Jesus was willing to do and give up because we matter so much to Him. My brain wants to wrap around it but still can't quite do it. Thank God He's brought my heart to a place that can. I would be lost without Him. Thank you for inviting me in to walk with you all this last month. I'm like you - I can't believe it's almost over, either. Amazing. Incredible.

<p>Angela, I agree with all the ladies. I think we are all learning the "truths of the word". In this life WE WILL SUFFER.... we will be tested and tried....... but it all ends up being which city have we placed our eyes upon. Are we looking to the city with only one throne (GOD) or our own city (HEART) that is in bondage to all of our self centered desires.... So very good! I enjoyed this post. The refiner's fire is so very painful at times.... but when we come out on the other side - pure..... Oh... I can't wait. I think the truth is that for the rest of our lives we will have to crawl out of bed and drop to our knees praying " I release control of my life to you oh Lord and place you on the throne of my life............. You ladies have helped many of us get on the narrow path and BEGIN THE JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p></span>Posted by: Holly </div></div></blockquote><a id="c6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a67cbb5c970c" /><span id="comment-6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a67cbb5c970c-content">

<p>I am so Thankful that I came across this site and this experiment, I also feel that the 30 days has gone so fast. I found myself often checking to see if the next post and been made and what the ladies had to say. Tonight at church I felt confirmation of everything I have journeying through both on here and between my husband and I. The Pastor Preached from the text Malachi 3:3. "Has man or Women Robbed God." At first I felt I knew where he was going but soon he began to reveal his message. When Christ died He Paid the Price in Full, if we give him anything less of "FALLING TO OUR KNEES EVERY MORNING AND GIVING OUR ALL TO HIM" then we have sinned! Our Praise Worship included a rendition of the Revelation Song. Everything I have journeying through summed up in an hour in a half of preaching AMAZING! Confirming that i smack dab in the middle of God's will for my life!  Thanks so much to all the contributors of these 30 days, I will never be the same! </p></span>Posted by: Leanne Collins</div></blockquote>

As He and I have been spending time together, He's impressed me that this journey for me isn't done yet. Even after the 30th day, I will continue on pursuing His heart in an ever deeper way, until He says I am ready to move forward. I have been praying daily that He reign and not I.

<p>but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;<br />they shall mount up with wings(B) like eagles;<br />they shall run and not be weary;<br />they shall walk and not faint.</p>
<p>this is on my bible cover. I never understood it like you wrote it Dineen ( or like Beth Moore wrote it ). thank you. this is a WOW moment. I have been discouraged and lonely when I pray and hope for our loved ones and they dont seem to want to change and I think...........this is getting so exhausting. The Lord promised me though:<br />but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;<br />they shall mount up with wings(B) like eagles;<br />they shall run and not be weary;<br />they shall walk and not faint.</p>
<p>So why am I so spiritually tired? and now....drum roll.....I understand. I kept looking the the events instead of the Lord. I will journal this and comment on FF in 1peter3. hugs and love, BB Tamara</p>
<p>Okay, again this post is already too long and there are many, may moor. When I read about your lived changed forever by Jesus I just get teary eyed and reach for the Kleenex. I can hardly stop adding more to the list.</p>
<p>What has Christ done for you? Leave your testimony and glorify Jesus. Hugs, Lynn</p></div></span></span></div>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><strong><em /></strong></p>
<p>I made a bold promise 30 days ago. I told you that if you were willing to place Jesus Christ on the throne of your life, you would discover the circumstances in your life lose their power over you. </p>
<p>Many of you joined in the journey, from all over the world. You were sick n’ tired of being sick n’ tired. You were seeking relief from unbearable burdens. You were in need of joy –bliss in your life. <a href="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a63b56f2970b-pi" style="FLOAT: right"><img alt="Jump" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a63b56f2970b " src="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a63b56f2970b-120wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px" /></a> </p>
<p>Well the promise I made was not my promise. It was Jesus who offered you that promise. It is not just a promise but a guarantee. Strong statement I know, but it is trustworthy and true. </p>
<p>I want you to think about a few things. We learned we are utterly loved, we are chosen. Can you wrap your mind around this? WE ARE CHOSEN. We are daughters of the King. We are princes in the Kingdom. We are select among millions, living and dead. Whoa! Blows my mind. </p>
<p>The transformation into Christ likeness begins with grasping this truth. We are elevated and have power over this world because of Christ crucified. Oh how Satan is desperate to keep this knowledge from us. He knows what real power we have. He deceives us at every turn, making us believe we are weak. </p>
<p>Let me assure you, we are strong. We have everything we need to live victoriously. We have Jesus and we have the word of God. Period. The end. </p>
<p>Many of you experienced these moments; Christ on the throne, and you felt it. Bliss. Loving Jesus fills us with bliss. I spoke about this last Friday. I want to share with you an excerpt from a message my <a href="http://www.gregsidders.com/2009/09/happy-anniversary-sunridge.html" target="_blank">Pastor, Greg Sidders</a>, shared one Sunday morning not long ago: </p>
<p>Hi Lynn, here's the excerpt from the sermon where I described Charles Finney's experience: </p>
<p><em>When we ask God to help us comprehend His love at a heart level, we are talking to a Father whose desire is to give us far more than we are asking for. </em></p>
<p><em>It happened to Charles Finney in 1821. This was before he became a famous evangelist. <a href="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907a96970c-pi" style="FLOAT: left"><img alt="Charles finney" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907a96970c " src="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907a96970c-800wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" title="Charles finney" /></a> </em></p>
<p><em>On a Sunday evening in early October, he decided to seek God with focused intensity. Even though he was a committed church member, he didn’t think he was a Christian. And so he decided to pray until his salvation was no longer in doubt. </em></p>
<p><em>He prayed all that night, and the next day, and the next. Finally on Wednesday morning it dawned on him that salvation is a free gift, and he accepted it with all his heart. Then he wandered into the woods to continue praying, but there he couldn’t pray out loud because he was afraid someone would hear him and think he was a fanatic. </em></p>
<p><em>And then the Spirit of God reminded him of Jeremiah 29, where the Lord says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” </em></p>
<p><em>That’s when he started to pray out loud. He returned home and continued to pray into the evening. And it was on that Wednesday night that he says he encountered the unmistakable presence of Jesus. He wept like a baby, and then, as this experience began to fade, he wrote in his journal, “the Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me, body and soul. I could feel the impression, like a wave of electricity, going through and through me. Indeed it seemed to come in waves and waves of liquid love, for I could not express it in any other way. It seemed like the very breath of God.” </em></p>
<p><em>And it continued until he begged God to stop. He cried out, “Lord, I cannot bear any more. I shall die if these waves continue to pass over me.” </em></p>
<p><em>When a friend came to his home later that evening, he took one look at Charles Finney and thought he was sick. He said, “Are you in pain?” </em></p>
<p><em>And Finney said, “No, but I am so happy that I cannot live.”</em> </p>
<p>____ </p>
<p>This is where Jesus wants us to live. Waves and waves of happiness. We can’t earn it. We can’t “do” enough to deserve it. We can’t worship bigger, serve longer, give more money, pray harder. </p>
<p>We only need to love Jesus. </p>
<p>I have so much more to say about all of this and specifically praying aloud. I discovered how praying scriptures aloud immediately affects the spiritual realm. So, I think on Monday, I will share what the Lord has shared with me. <a href="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907bb5970c-pi" style="FLOAT: left"><img alt="Biblehands" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907bb5970c " src="http://www.spirituallyunequalmarriage.com/.a/6a00d83451ee9f69e20120a6907bb5970c-150wi" style="MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px; WIDTH: 150px" /></a> </p>
<p>Although our journey is concluding, we never stop our transformation into the likeness of Jesus. If we are breathing, God is actively working to smooth our rough edges and teach us more about becoming Christ like. </p>
<p>How awesome is that? </p>
<p>Okay, this post is already too long. So over the weekend I am going to share some of the victories that came about through our Mind of Christ Experiment. Many of you wrote to me and shared about GIANT things God was doing. You can read those tomorrow and Sunday. </p>
<p>AND THEY ARE AWESOM. YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS WHAT GOD DOES IN AN ORDINARY LIFE! </p>
<p>Monday, we are going to talk more about the real power we have which can conquer darkness, change our lives, the lives of others and rescue a world in desperate need of salvation. </p>
<p>Girls and men, we have only begun…. Christ has promised us so much and has so much to give. </p>
<p>Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. </p>
<p>He really means every word. I can’t wait to celebrate the victories in your life tomorrow. See you then. </p>
<p>Be blessed, Lynn </p><br />

<p>Welcome to Thankful Thursday. It is a privilege to give thanks to the Lord and to host this awesome event in October. Next month we will meet at <a href="http://www.eph2810.com/">Grace Alone.</a> December we will return to <a href="http://womentakingastand.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Women Taking A Stand.</a> I count it a rich blessing to host Thankful Thursday. Thank you for sharing your Thursday with me.</p>
<p>This month I just feel like the more I learn and know about Jesus the more I need to learn. 
<p>There is tremendous change swirling about in the Donovan house and in almost every part of my life. Change can be scary. It can be unsettling. It can be painful. It can be awe inspiring, miraculous, and powerful. 
<p>We serve a God of change. He loves us so much He never stops changing our hearts, character and life. I have so much to tell you. I can't even begin to try to understand it all. I can tell you the heavens were rocked by prayers this past weekend at the Blogger's Retreat. My husband and his blondie, wife (me), will never be the same. 
<p>How awesome it that? 
<p>Watch for some updates to the Chronicles of the Donovan Clan next month after we conclude our Series, Mind of Christ Experiment. 
<p>Finally, I leave praising God for the lives that were changed through this past 30 days and the Blogger's Retreat. BIG stuff!! I plan to share more on Friday. Stop back for a giant praise fest. We will experience the bliss God desires for us. 
<p>What is God changing in your life? Can you see Him working to draw you closer, your husband? Your kids? I can't wait to read how Jesus is working in your life. 
<p>Happy Thankful Thursday. I praise Jesus for ever and ever because He refused to leave me the same. Hallelujah! Amen... Praise you Jesus. 
<p>Be blessed, Lynn</p>
