Good Morning


Have you had your breakfast and Coffee yet ?
Hey What a Brand new Day starting out in The Lord and nothing can be better than Having Him be with us all day ! He shows us eveything in a person's life and having his direction's is the way to go. Now shall we be getting started in having prayer time & devotions together this morning.
Taking Authority over the Mind: 2 Cor. 10:4-5
"In the Name of Jesus, I come against the strongholds and every high
thing in my mind and I cast down those reasonings, those strongholds,
vain imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God, and I release my mind to the obedience of Christ. I
loose it to be reconciled to God in every area of my life, and those whom are reading this in thier seperate homes that take hold of this and know that this is done in each person's life. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen."

Now as we go forth and have our reading of this day in the Lord, Joshua 17:1-18. 1There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

2There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

3But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

4And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

5And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

6Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

7And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

8Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

9And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

10Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

11And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

12Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

13Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

14And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

15And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

16And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

17And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

18But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.

The Bottom Line:

Manasseh was but half of the tribe of Joseph, yet it was divided into two parts. The daughters of Zelophehad now reaped the benefit of their pious zeal and prudent forecast. Those who take care in the wilderness of this world, to make sure to themselves a place in the inheritance of the saints in light, will have the comfort of it in the other world; while those who neglect it now, will lose it for ever. Lord, teach us here to believe and obey, and give us an inheritance among tsaints, in glory everlasting. (Jos 17:7-13)

There was great communication between Manasseh and Ephraim. Though each tribe had its inheritance, yet they should intermix one with another, to do good offices one to another, as became those, who, though of different tribes, were all one Israel, and were bound to love as brethren. But they suffered the Canaanites to live among them, against the command of God, to serve their own ends. (Jos 17:14-18)


God is alway's faithful and is our rewarder, Even though it may not come back as a form of land or possessions, but it come in forms that far exceeds the temporal vlues of material goods. Often times when we the erosions of God's best alway's occure when our wills interfer with his. We come to believe we know much so much and then recklessly destroy what God had provided. We seek God, his will, and his power. If we do not, we may spend a lifetime compensating for mistakes made outside of his will. Thank You Jesus and bless you holy name in the reading of Your Word today. catcmo2006

Joshua & His Son's Territory

Good Morning to each of you today!
Let's have PrayerBefore Starting Your Day
Gracious God, I acknowledge that You are worthy of all honor, glory
and praise. I am thankful for the victorious work of Your Son, Jesus
Christ at Calvary for me. I appropriate His victory for myself now
as I willingly surrender every area of my life to Your will.

Thank you for the forgiveness and righteousness that has been given
to me as Your adopted child. I trust in Your protection and
provision daily. I know that your love for me never ceases.

I rejoice in Your victory, my Lord, over all the principalities and
powers in the heavenlies. In faith I stand in Your victory and
commit myself to live obediently for You my King.

I desire that my fellowship with You become greater. Reveal to me
those things that grieve You and enables the enemy to secure an
advantage in my life. I need the Holy Spirit's powerful ministry in
my life; bringing conviction of sin, repentance of heart,
strengthening my faith and increasing perseverance in resisting
temptation.

Help me to die to self and walk in the victory of the new creation
You have provided for me. Let the fruits of the Spirit flow out of
my life so that You will be glorified through my life.

I know that it is Your will that I should stand firm and resist all
of the enemy's work against me. Help me to discern the attacks upon
my thoughts and emotions. Enable me to stand upon Your Word and
resist all the accusations, distortions and condemnations that are
hurled against me.

It is my desire to be transformed through the renewing of my mind,
so that I will not compromise with the ways of the world, or yield
to the enemy's attacks, but be obedient to Your will.

I draw upon those spiritual resources that You have provided me and
I attack the strongholds and plans of the enemy that have been put
in place against me. I command in the name of Jesus Christ that the
enemy must release my mind, will, emotions and body completely. They
have been yielded to the Lord and I belong to Him.

Lord, enable me to become the person You created me to be. Help me
as I pray to be strong in faith. Show me how to apply Your Word in
my life each day. I know that I wear the full armor of God when I am
committed to and stand firmly upon Your Word. I want You to have the
supreme place in my life.

I surrender myself completely to You, Lord. You are always faithful
and You extend Your grace to me constantly, even when I do not
realize it. I claim Your promise of forgiveness and cleansing in its
fullness. In faith, I receive the victory today that you have
already put in place for me. I do this in the name of Jesus Christ,
my Savior with a grateful heart. In the name and power of the Blood
of Jesus, Amen


Now let's get into the Word of God; Open Your Bibles to Joshua 16:1-31 , Let's see what our Precious Jesus had to share with us this morning.

1And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

2And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

3And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

4So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

6And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

7And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

8The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

9And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

The Bottom Line:They give the lots of Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, who, next to Judah, were to have the post of honour, and therefore had the first and best portion in the northern part of Canaan, as Judah in the southern part. God's people now, as of old, suffer his enemies to remain. Blessed Lord, when will all our enemies be subdued? 1Co 15:26. Do thou drive them all out; thou

alone canst do it. These settled boundaries may remind us, that our situation and provision in this life, as well as our future inheritance, are appointed by the only wise and righteous God, and we should be content with our portion, since he knows what is best for us, and all we have is more than we deserve.

A Godly person decendents often reap numerous benefits from a person life, but there is No greater than having our Inheritance coming unto us of which our God hands over to his remenant's whom served Him throughly and put everything on the line for Him and had no agenda's but Jesus Christ first and above life and it's business. catcmo2006

The Word of the Lord, 7/12/06

The Word of the Lord given through His servant
John Maguire
July 12, 2006/Tamuz 16, 5766

Now hear people of the earth. See a great fog that is about to come
over you. Darkness has come upon the place of your habitation. You nested
like unwanted birds in the security of your houses, with little thought
for your neighbor. Yet I commanded through My son Moses that you should
obey My commandment, to love your neighbor and you did not. Now the
prophets carry My burdens of how to feed you. I said that you would bow
before the poor, now it is coming. For they have been honed on how to
survive. They were at your mercy and you abused them. You used them as
slaves and still they served you in humility, something you know
nothing about.

Now I, your God, says this: You shall be at their mercy, for their
mercy is what I have put in them. You shall beg them now that they shall
not retain your sins! If they do you are doomed to the great destruction
that all shall suffer being outside My courtyard.

I AM, your God, says this: By My love I honed them and allowed them to
walk a path that is narrow, and you sons of Satan, people of the world,
saw their innocence and exploited them. Why would you want to do this
to your fellow man? Why would you want to abuse My children by making
them your slaves? So that you could profit by the pains and bent bow of
their backs!

My vengeance is coming. It is crying out to strike you people of the
earth, wicked generation. You set up structures for those whom through
generations by the evil deeds of your wicked forefathers! They too had
abused My people and continued in their ways of slavery.

I tell you this, your mothers and fathers were sons of the devil and
that makes you a line of bad blood. My children, who know My voice, have
crucified blood in their veins and resurrected blood in their hearts.

You called those evil schemes and structures you and they set up
welfare. To whom have you given welfare? I AM the shelter of the poor and
they are My children and I AM coming to take them home to Me. To whom have
you insured safety by your monetary ploys? You fools, snakes, and sons
of the devil.

You can not insure anything by calling on mammon to help My people. You
are more troubled by how nice your grave looks than losing eternal
life. You have set up plans and evil schemes to look after the sick. I say
it is you who are sick; your being is full of vice and corruption. You
corrupt your own children by teaching them the ways of Satan,
exploiting a new generation. You are bad blood I say; sour, bitter wine not of
My vineyard. Woe to you who have joined in secret institutions, killers,
murderers, vile portions of the beast, props of Satan. Your punishment
shall be the greater. I AM the Holy One and I AM above all. You are
vials of evil, jars of vomit, sons of perdition, and I AM coming to
destroy you. See, says the Holy One, the one true God whom I AM! The only
God. There is no other! See the great light behind you coming closer?
That is not of Me. The fire of hell that you have made now engulfs the
great cities of sorrow, see now.

For when darkness of the great mist and fog approaches you will see no
more. And where are your armies to help you now? They are dead, dead
men who know their fate of hell. I AM has taken their wills from them,
and left them like dead branches ready for the fire. See how the poor sit
quiet among it all. Oh, what truth they have and great is My love for
them! See their hope, the hope that I have placed in them. The major
principalities of darkness are about to be put to death and be defeated,
who then shall you sons of Satan run to for comfort?

How will you long for money when I have killed its source, mammon? How
will you now control My people when I have destroyed your evil system?
See the four great messengers swooping down on you, gathering My word
back to Me from where it came and what shall be left on the earth that
you worshiped when My truth has returned back to me?

Evil all around, that is all. An evil that you people of the earth have
made yourselves. Servants of the great serpent, I shall burn you.

You governors, kings, and custodians of the earth, some of you will be
saved, but the choice is in your hands. Return to Me now and give up
your power, for it is of the earth. No better than soil and clay and it
is of the beast, the serpent, that has formed you and shaped you by your
submission to his will.

Give up your worship of the devil and you shall be saved. Nothing in
this world can save you for I AM about to destroy it,

Only I can save you. Listen to this word, the voice of the prophets,
for nothing of this world can help you, only I AM your God can.

Let what you hear now from My servant John, by his own admission a weak
man, be attended to.

For I AM, your God, shall pour more from his mouth. The sour pit of his
stomach is about to burst on you and reveal who and what you really
are: an evil generation, bad blood not of Me.
I AM the Lord, the God of Moses, and the Truth! Hear My word and take
heed of what I have said.

I AM has spoken
