We are walking in today:  Be Thankful for the God Without!

Psalm 100:1-4
1) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2) Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3) Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  We serve a God without limits.  The word without applies to lots of things where the Lord is concerned, and as I continue to pray several of them come to mind.  If you are looking for things to give thanks for try some of these withouts.  Love without limits, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  Forgiveness without question, 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.  Performance without exception, John 6:37,39 37)All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 39) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.  Promise without equivocation, Isaiah 46:10-11 10) Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11) Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.  Blessing without number, Deuteronomy 28:3-6 3) Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4) Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5) Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.  6) Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.  Faithfulness without failingDeuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.  Redemption without retraction, Ephesians 1:5-8 5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.  Do you understand that we serve the God without?!    Salvation without merit, Titus 3:4-7 4) But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;  6) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.  Grace without guilt2 Corinthians 5:17-19 17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.  So in a time when mankind has all but forgotten that the Lord is the Giver of every good and perfect gift, the Author of all our victories, who arranges every opportunity and fashions every blessing, these withouts, might serve as a good reminders to give thanks where thanks is due!!!  Yea and amen!
I don't know about you, but you better get up and thank Him for being the God without!!  We would fail without Him!  We would not exist, without Him!  He is the God within us and also the God you can not do without!!  All of this concern about thanksgiving dinner, can't have dressing without the turkey.  We cannot do without God's grace and mercy.  He is our everything!!  We maybe falling apart but without God it would all fail!  The God who you call late in the midnight hour--give thanks to our Father in heaven!  All that He has done and continues to do!  We are still here because we have not gone without Him!  He is a keeper and the lover of our souls!  Thank You Lord!!  Fiveamprayer, you are still standing because you are believing in His word, standing on His promises.  Thank You for showing us the beginning in Genesis, then you reveal who You are in Revelation.  There is nothing too hard for You!  If we were without covering, without love, without mercy, without our Jehovah Jireh, without out Keeper, without a way out of no way, without His word going before us, without His promise to never leave nor forsake us--we would be totally undone as those who are in the world are, without knowledge of Him!  God is still there, He lets us know that joy comes in the morning.  
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Without You, Lord we would fall apart.  You are the Potter and we the clay, without You we are without form or purpose--Jeremiah 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.  The Lord is our God, without Him we can do nothing outside of Him!  Is that why when we were in the world, with all that we did, amounted to nothing!?  When you really look at it that way, what Paul said makes so much sense.  Philippians 3:7-8 7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.  8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.  Thank You Lord for showing us how foolish we were to seek a life without You!  Thank You for being a God who is faithful to forgive!  Fiveamprayer, continue to hold to His word, He is a keeper of your mind with your mind stayed on Him.  It is He who has given and purchased our abundant life with the perfect and precious life of Your only begotten Son!  He is a God without fail to show up mighty and deliver us out!  All that is and has been promised would not come to pass without God!!  Romans 9:20-22(AMP) 20) But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? 21) Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use? 22) What if God, although fully intending to show [the awfulness of] His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of [His] anger which are ripe for destruction?  Thank You Lord, for Your grace and mercy!!  You never fail!  We are able to hold on a little while longer!  As you make ready the table for thanksgiving dinner, consider all of the preparation and planning that God did to redeem you!  Give Him thanks!  Give Him glory!!  Praise His holy name!!  Making sure that all the place settings are correct and the centerpiece arranged just so, don't forget about the God that you can't do without!!  Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  He shows up with daily bread, where would we be without His mercy and His grace?!  No where that we would want to consider!!  Very likely stuck, spinning our wheels going no where fast!!  Thank You God for bringing us up out of that thing!!  Thank You for the blood that covers us and washes us whiter than snow.  Thank You for Your word that we can stand on and bring back to You!  Taste and see that the Lord is good!  He is good, real good!  We may get down sometimes in this fleshly body but then we can turn it around by giving praise where praise is due!  Without God, where would you be?!  We should be crazy right now.  He has kept us because we have kept out minds stayed on Him!!  Look at those still in the world who are in need of peace of mind, there is nothing more sure, more true, more, more than God!!  Without Him all is lost!  Thank You Lord for taking the time to send someone after us.  To catch us up and to get us on board!!  Thank You Lord for loving us with agape love, that unconditional love--You are our Jehovah Jireh!   There isn't anything that you could do without God--especially in this current economy that is in recession and depression.  He keeps on keeping us, keeping us in His prefect peace.  He is a God without limits, no boundaries!  He can do all things but fail!  1 Kings 8:56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.  We are thankful for the God without--forgives us without guilt.  That is the God that we serve!  Redemption without retraction!!  He will preform the word that He gave you!  He will not go back on His word.  He is faithful without failing.  Hold on to the God without!  Fiveamprayer, you have got to see this, we can not do this without Him!!  That is how He has it all set up and planned!!  Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.  Thank You Lord for all that You have done for me!!  Hallelujah!  Thank You Lord, in the name of Jesus.  Thank You for being the God who preforms without exception, forgives without exception.  The God who cast our sins away as far as the east is from the west, into the sea where it is remembered no more!  The God without, the One we can not do without!!  Without Him we fail, our lives broken, shattered, removed and obliterated.  We would be wondering lost like a ship without a sail.  Thank You Lord!  We serve a God without fail, without limits--nothing is too hard for You.  Taste and see that the Lord is good!  Try Him for yourself!!  He gets gooder and gooder.  He is worthy of all of the praise.  Your thanksgiving should be looking different this year--where would you be without Him!!  You would not be standing here--in a reconciled marriage, in restored health, in repaired relationship with children, in provision without a job.  Thank You Lord!!  Continue to have us look back to see where You have brought us from!!  We can see that is has been You all along.  It is He that has been ordering our steps.  Some of us should have been dead, sleeping in our graves--but God.  We would have lost our minds--but God.  We should have lost it all--but God!  When the money ran out--favor of God kept on spending!  Get ready for overflow abundance in your lives, fiveamprayer!!  Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.  He has been so good to us!!  He is still making a way out and keeps ordering our steps!!  Where would fiveamprayer be without God?!  This ordained and called by God, prayer circle?  The same God that shows up early every morning with a word of comfort, peace, grace--that speaks right into our lives!  A sure place to turn to, to hear from Him!  How is the world making it through without God?  The answer is they aren't that is why we must share Christ with all that we meet!!  2 Corinthians 5:18-19 18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.  Call on the name of Jesus, just one word from God can change everything!!  Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.  Our God does not fit into boxes, He is a no limit God a God without limits!!  Thank You Lord for this word today!!  You have been so good to us, better than we have been to ourselves!!  Where would we be without you?!  Thank You God!  Thank You God!!  We serve a God that keeps us in perfect peace!  It is the God on the inside of us that keeps us.  The God of the way out of no way!  The Joy of the Lord is our strength.  We lift up Jeanette's sister to hold on to You and You will keep her mind in perfect peace!!  We know that we would have never made it without You!  He is how we made it through 2011.  We have nothing without You!  You told us that the battle is not ours it is Yours.  Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.  Thank You Lord for showing up mighty and showing us Your glory!  We are well able to overcome because You have caused us to triumph!!  Thank You Lord for teaching us how to use spiritual weapons of mass destruction!!  He helped us through every valley--Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Without Him in the valley, don't know where we would be!  We have so much to be thankful for!    Thank You God!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  Thank You Jesus!  Thank You for every member of fiveamprayer!  This divine destiny connection is called by You!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  We know that You are standing here with us and those that we lift up to You.  We know that we could not do this without You!  Never would have made it without You!!  Just turn it all over to Him!!  You are causing the delay, trying to help God!!  Who ever is doing that is only getting in the way, God does not need your help!!  Leave it to Him, it is something that He can handle and when you come to realize that and get out of the way, He can work, because you trust and believe in Him!!  Lay it at His feet and turn and walk away trusting in the God who created this whole world with His words!  We lift up Alisha Ward, God we are asking that You have her to hold on to You.  Forgive us Lord for looking elsewhere for our help.  You are the God without fail and forgives us without guilt.  Thank You for teaching us how to forgive others like You forgive us!  Jabez knew without You there would be no blessing.  He called on the God of Israel because You are the only one who can do what he asked.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Welcome to the overflow...
Fiveamprayer you can't do it without prayer and supplication--
1 Kings 8:49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause. We are to seek Him in prayer.  Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.  Go and pray to the God of Israel, He is a no limit God!  Without Him we could and would not make it.  We would have gone crazy--who the Son set free is free indeed!  No weapon formed against us shall prosper.  Be thankful for the God without.  Hallelujah!  We are in our right minds with a heart to seek and serve Him!  Without God, those in the world will not make it through.  He comes to give us His grace and mercy.  Showing up with His favor.  Thank You God for keeping us!  Thank You for those that call in faithfully, seeking Your face early.  Pressing their way through to hear a word from You.  Let those who have ears to hear, let them hear!  Where would we be without all of those praying men and women of God?  There is power in agreement.  We stand together on one accord.  There is commanded blessings in unity.  God has brought us a mighty long way!  Taste and see that the Lord is good!  With what we have gone through, going through without God we would be lost.  You would stop the delay if you would stop the murmuring.  Remember the children of Israel, the 40 years in the wilderness that their complaint purchased?  Some of our situations we could walk out of in one day if we weren't in complaint!!  You have God, He is all that you need!  Worried about how to pay for thanksgiving dinner, you better thank God that for your health and strength.  There are so many that can not make that claim!  It is all about God!  Be thankful for your piece of bread--for we live by His word!  Get your mindset right!!  Stop living above your means, stop trying to impress others or to sooth yourselves with things--only God can give peace that surpasses all understanding!  Believe and trust God.  Without Him we could do nothing.  You can't do without God!!  Visit us on facebook and take time out to read these scriptures for yourself.  Have a blessed day!
