DAY 18- DAILY BIBLE VERSE (LIKE CHILDREN) - JUNE 11, 2012

June 11



Luke: 18:16-17 (The Voice Bible)


Jesus: Let the little children come to Me. Never hinder them! Don’t you realize—the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children? 17You can depend on this: if you don’t receive the Kingdom as a child would, you won’t enter it at all.

DAY 18 - DAILY DEVOTION - JUNE 11, 2012

June 11



Care Free


As I sat watching my youngest daughter, Alivia, swinging on her swing this morning, the Lord reminded me that I needed to be like a little child.  I said, “How Lord?”  He gently said, “See Alivia her hair blowing in the wind, and she doesn’t have a care in the world.  She is enjoying the warm weather, the sun shine & etc.. Why?  Because she knows you will take care of everything that concerns her.”


I was reminded every second of every day, to cast all my anxiety’s, cares, concerns, dreams, frustrations, hopes, let-downs, expectations, could have’s, should have’s and would have’s on Him..


1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) “Casting the whole of your care all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.”


He also said,  “Stop trying to carry the load, you are weighing yourself down!  You cause yourself un-needed headaches, neck aches, and back aches with all your un-necessary carrying of such heavy loads that only I (God) was meant to carry.”


Will you join me in being like a child now? Care Free!!


I am so glad that I don’t have to carry the load anymore.  The load was burdensome and heavy.  I can already feel the lifting of my neck and shoulders back to the place they should be without hurt or pain.


Thank you Lord for carrying our cares & worries on the cross for us.  We are free of the worries of this world because of the load you carried at Calvary.  Thank you Jesus for affectionately caring so much for us, that you carried it ALL!!!


Glory and Honor to His Holy Name!


1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

DAY 18- DAILY PRAYER (VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL) - JUNE 11, 2012

June 11


Bright Morning Star (Revelation 22:16),


We seek Your blessing upon the vacation bible school programs that will be appearing across this nation, and offer these programs up in praise to Your Holy Name!  May the children that come together during this special occasion be touched in a Mighty way, being brought into the fold of Your sheep for eternity.  Send Your Holy Ghost to dwell amongst the counselors and children, bringing a fresh anointing of the truth of the Gospel to all ears.  Place each child under the feathers of Your wing to protect them from evil, and provide Your shield of Faithfulness to fight off the flaming arrows that might come against them.  Encamp Your warrior angels around each church property during these weeks of dedicated training of Your future disciples. May Satan be rebuked in each Vacation bible school program, and from each session and training.  


Lord, we lift Your name on high during these events, as we proclaim Your Holy Name!  Let our special youth oriented worship be pleasing to You, and turn Your ears to the petitions of the children.  Soften the hardened hearts, and allow each child to see the Kingdom as only a child can view it...through Your most precious Son.  Please allow each adult that teaches Your word be made like a child in heart, that they might also see the Kingdom as only a child can view it. Plant the seeds during these events that will grow into wisdom and hope for this new generation, and continue to mature in the generations represented through each adult. And Father, let their ears hear the Gospel message in a way that it might permeate their hearts and minds for a lifetime.  Guide each counselor in the way that they present Your message, and let them give You all praise!


In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Amen!

DAY 18 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 11, 2012

June 11



He sent Paul Revere on his midnight ride to warn Lexington the British were coming. 


A Harvard graduate, he was a successful doctor in Boston, but left his career when the British passed the hated Stamp Act. 


With Samuel Adams, he organized the Provincial Congress to protest. 


His name was Dr. Joseph Warren, born JUNE 11, 1741. 


Following the Boston Tea Party, King George III enacted the Intolerable Acts of 1774: 


blocking Boston harbor until citizens reimbursed the East India Tea Company; 
quartering British soldiers in private homes; 
allowing British officials to be unaccountable for their crimes; and 
replacing Massachusetts' elected officials with royal appointees. 


In response, Dr. Joseph Warren wrote the Suffolk Resolves, urging Massachusetts to establish a free state, boycott British goods, form militias and no longer be loyal to a king who violates their rights. 


Fighting in the Battle of Bunker Hill, a monument marks where Warren died. 


Three years earlier Dr. Joseph Warren stated on the anniversary of the Boston Massacre: 


"If you perform your part, you must have the strongest confidence that the same Almighty Being who protected your pious and venerable forefathers...will still be mindful of you."
