A PRAYER FOR YOUR MARRIAGE

A PRAYER FOR YOUR MARRIAGE

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ; breathe your breath

upon this man and woman whom you have joined together in the

bond of Your love.  Divinely intervene in every aspect of their lives.

Move by Your Holy Spirit and under gird them with your strength.

Be a shield all around them and in their most agonizing moments

remind them of your word in the book of 2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV “My

Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 

Father, in Jesus name help both of them to rely on you and

trust you to lead the way! Clothe them both in your whole armor

so that they will be able to stand up against the wiles of the devil.

Help them not to be moved by what they see, instead enable them

to walk together by faith and not by their natural sight.  Bless their

marriage with the Word seen in demonstration.  Father, I command

the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to show up in this marriage,

let your presence be evident with your favor upon them; but

most of all Father let the Light of Jesus shine through their lives as

they minister to each other, in the name of Jesus! Amen.

WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU ROMANCING?

A young man had just gotten his new set of wheels (a car). He was so excited,  it seemed as if he was on cloud nine so to speak.  Several times throughout the day he would polish it, and shine the tires. Carefully making sure there were no marks on the magnificent paint job! No one was even allowed to go near his car. You know what - this young man took steps to protect his fine car from the elements of the sun, and the rain. Eating in his car was out of the question. He kept it immaculately clean. The startling thing is, this young man spent most of his time cleaning, polishing, and waxing his car; making sure he could see himself in it. Little did this young man realize that he was really romancing the car a thing if you please!

He spent hardly any time with his wife - Wife? Oh yes, he had completely forgotten all about her.  Valentine's Day is fast approaching, pause for a moment to ponder on this question. Who or what are you romancing? See .while Valentine Day is only one day STOP! Take a moment come on. Take a deep breath in Now breathe out There. Wives, Have you been really taking care of your husbands? When was the last time you ironed his clothes, drew his bath, or just said something nice to him? Indeed. While he may be very disgusting and all into himself; still wives, this is no excuse to neglect him !  Take another breath breathe out one more time.  Breathe in that's it. Now breathe out. Yes! Yes! Focus right here on the Word from Romans 12:21 NKJV "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."  Wives in every area where you have stopped caring for husbands, may Abba Father pour His healing oil and empowerment, enabling you to be submissive to your husbands with joy.  Grace and mercy through the work of The Holy Spirit will empower you with Abba Father's love to wash your husband's clothes, and cook his food, so much so he would think his clothes went to the cleaners to be pressed; and the cooking would taste so good, he would ask you what you put in it! Please tell them you put your love in it! Husbands, some of you have been neglecting your wives like the young man, who spent most of his time on his car. Yes, the wives rowing may seem like all day and all night, and maybe they are hardly ever home. Yet when they are you give them the silent treatment. The question then, to both husbands and wives is, who or what are you romancing? Take inventory, who or what and where are you spending your time. Take heed you could be romancing the who, and romancing the what! The young man with his new car take note of how he polished it until he could see himself as if he was looking in a mirror.  He neglected his wife while doing this.  He was romancing a thing, his car.  Husbands and wives have we allowed our hearts to grow cold toward each other?  Have we allowed a person, or a particular thing or things to stop the romance in our marriage?  Here is a reminder which bears repeating. (Where Did Love Go? Excerpt from the Book A Higher Dimension) "Honey, I'm home! How was your day? A warm embrace, a tender moment! Yes, these are a few expressions, but where did love go?” Now-a-days it is like, "He reach" or it maybe more like a grunt or hardly a word spoken. Husbands, you may be thinking, "Lord, help me to go home to this nagging woman!" No hugs, no smiles. Where did love go? The honeymoon seems to be over, now there is "no honey in the moon" so to speak, and you may not know the last time you saw the moon where did love go? Do you remember the day you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour? You were all excited and filled with zeal for the Lord.  Just as you were on your wedding day, but where did love go? Your passion for Jesus Christ has diminished. You hardly ever pick up the Word to study and mediate on the scriptures anymore. You don't pray like you used to pray either. When was the last time you took to the streets to share the Good News of Salvation?  When was the last time you visited the hospital to share the Word, and to pray for the sick? What about the prison?  Have you visited the prison to share His love with the inmates there? Where did love go? You are at your wits end so to speak, and may feel all alone. Then the Words of Jesus speaks from within read what Matthew 11:28-31 says (28) "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) "Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) "For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."  Where did love go? At this very moment the Word which is Spirit and Life immediately begins cutting and healing in complete submission love begins to flow like a river from within! Love so tender and so sweet oh, where did love go? Love did flow like a river with the sounds of the rippling water among the lilies, hearing the chirping birds singing and making melody in the trees, but oh, where did love go? It is as if you have gone on a long journey! Yet I will not give up on love so tender and so sweet but, oh! How much does it cost? Then I keep hearing the resounding answer loud and clearly - it cost Jesus Christ His life on the cruel cross of Calvary! So my love, I know that only with His Love we will triumph and soar above the storms.  I pray soon you will return to love so tender and so sweet for  love is awaiting your return! Yes, Abba Father is awaiting your return to His abundant flowing love, which loves you unconditionally.  Can you hear Him asking the question over and over again - “Who or what are you romancing?” Husbands and wives all across the globe, on this Valentine's Day renew the warmth of your love for each other. Take a deep breath in - now breathe out! Pause for a moment - here we go (An excerpt from the Book, The Winds of Change) "Love is feeling the warmth of your love, and spending quality time with you. Love is wiping away your tears and comforting you in your time of distress.  Love is bearing the wrong and not retaliating.  Holding you instead in a firm embrace.  Love is being there for you in your loneliest hour, and in the dark shadows of the night; praying for you until the break of dawn. I made a vow to love you all the days of my life, and so my darling together we shall triumph in every storm and sing the sweet refrain. Love is stronger than death and love triumphs over wrong! "

Husbands and wives be sensitive to each others needs, enjoy each other making it a priority to respect one another, and it would become evident and known in your home, or wherever you roam.....that you are romancing each other, and not another, or a thing, nor a what!

BEWARE ! "WHOM GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN OR WOMAN PUT ASUNDER." Give Abba Father PRAISE and enjoy not only on Valentine's Day, but each day you may grow together in the bond of His Love!

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING

Love is feeling the warmth of your love, and spending
quality time with you. Love is wiping away your tears,
and comforting you in your time of distress. Love is
bearing the wrong and not retaliating, holding you instead in a firm embrace.  Love is being there for you
in your loneliest hour, in the dark shadows of the night,
praying for you until the break of dawn. I made a vow
to love you all of my days, so my darling together we
shall triumph in every storm and sing the sweet refrain;
love is stronger than death, and love triumphs over wrong!
God's love will keep us loving each other! As you read these
words you too can identify with excitement, and the love
you felt, the day you found your true love. Dating started - the thing is on these dates, what s splendid time of enjoyment.
Then you would go to work, and as soon as you got there instead of doing your work you just departed from each other you call from the company’s phone  "Honey, I miss you can't wait to see you tonight" You could not get enough of each
others company! Do you remember gentleman, when you took her
home to your parents? You were on cloud nine! Did you not
tell them she is the one, she really “Rocks my world”
so to speak. You did not want a fly to land on her. Ladies, do
you remember how your heart would skip many beats every time
you would hear his voice, or at the mere sight of him! What
a courtship and a dynamite engagement! Eye contact, body
language, all in harmony with each other. Then you got married,
now all of that love and attention seemed to have completely
vanished. Ladies, now that same fine gentleman whom your heart
raced for; your husband - you are now calling him a demon from
hell, and you would not give to him the time of day! Gentleman,
you hardly spend anytime with your wife; the one whom you took
home to your parents. The same lady who rocked your world!
Neither do you give her any love and affection all you say to
her now is that she is a nag, and driving you up the wall!
It seems you cannot stand each others company anymore! Both of
you have not been keeping the fire burning! STOP for a moment,
think about this the way a husband treats his wife, and the
way a wife responds to her husband is a direct indicator of the
way we treat Abba Father! Please allow me to share this poem
inspired by the Holy Spirit:

. To breathe and exhale the breath, the breath
of Jehovah Shammah, whose presence we dare not awaken from sleep
without. To arise at midnight to spend hour after hour talking
to Him until the breaking of dawn pausing then to listen as He speaks
words of comfort and hope. Morning has risen; He is tugging at you,
telling you it's time to go.  Reluctantly glancing at the time, you
turn leaving with the comfort of knowing you will spend the evening
together before retiring for the night; and then you will have the
midnight until the dawning of day. Words cannot describe this intimacy
with Abba Father. There is no other relationship like it! The joy of
talking every moment of the day with Him, whispering to Him constantly,
reminding Him of your love and passion for Him. Walking in the midst
of troubles, His presence surrounds you. Enabling you to endure hardships             and trials. Relatives and friends they do not understand, forsaking
and deserting you. Yet His presence brings peace, His Anointing empowers
to forgive and to display His love. Pain and sickness may ravish your
body. The Doctors may not have a cure, but His presence brings healing,
and restoration! Yes just to inhale in His presence, and to exhale His
love to the body of Christ. To breathe in the very presence of God, to
exhale His purpose,  impacting people of every nation.  In His presence
strips away everything that hinders.  Every work of the flesh is burnt
away! In His presence free to worship, free to praise Him in spite of
how you may feel.  To breathe in the breath of God, to exhale becoming
His masterpiece!  To breathe in the breath of God, there is never a dull
moment with the realization that your passion is to fulfill the purpose
of God: being enlightened with the understanding, your life is hidden
in Christ Jesus.  Consistently inhaling in the presence of God, thus
exhaling, walking to your destiny being transformed into the likeness
of Jesus Christ, staying in the presence of God. Your passion for God has

 caused you to become  a chosen vessel of honour, for the Glory
of GOD!

Beautiful Lady, yes, you fine Gentleman, your passion and love for each
other is still there question is are you keeping the fire for God,
your Abba Father burning in your hearts? Has your heart grown cold toward
Him? Do you have a consistent prayer life? Do you set aside time to
study the Word? Do you pray together? For you see it is God who sustains
and keeps marriages together. We must keep the fire of God burning in
our hearts. Then fine gentleman the love and passion will resurface
for the one who rocked your world. Beautiful Lady, you will not see your
husband as a demon from hell anymore. Instead, your heart will skip beats,
and race for him. Yes, you will respect and honour him again! Together
in the bond of God's love, you will keep the fire burning as you rekindle
your love for God, your Abba Father, to love, honour, and obey His
commandments. Make being true and faithful in your walk with God, your
number one priority, and you are guaranteed to experience the fire burning
in your marriage; as the fire of God burns in your heart!
KEEP THE FIRE BURNING!

When Two Hearts Beat As One!

 Be Blessed as you read!

When two hearts beat as one
Then find themselves being torn apart
By the hustle and bustle of each day,
It is time to join together in prayer and
Ask Abba Father to divinely intervene!

Husbands, take time out to sit in the chair
Of rest and wives take off his shoes and socks;
Anoint and massage his feet!
Do not say a word just lovingly listen to your
Husband as he shares with you what really
Lays heavily on his mind.
Then your husband will be drawn closer and
In oneness both of you will begin to move
Synchronized with sensitivity to each others needs!

Husbands, ensure that your wife also gets to
Sit in the seat of rest too,
As you serenade her with lots of love and
Affection!
She will always guard your time in the chair
Of rest!

When two hearts beat as one
You will grow stronger in the bond
Of God's love,
Away from the hustle and bustle
Of each day as you join together in prayer
Abba Father will divinely intervene in your
Marriage relationship!

When Days Are Dark

Husbands and wives there will be dark days in your life and on some days you
will feel like you do not love each other but continue to look to God for endurance
to love and respect each other in spite of the dark days

for they are really only
a prelude to days filled  with joy and laughter! Just up ahead of you on the
horizon are days of light!

Husbands continue to love your wives and wives see that you (me too) respect
you husbands as you move forward in harmony to brighter days!

Be Blessed as you read this poem! 

God Is A Restorer!

There is hope do not give up on your marriage relationship Jesus Christ Himself is standing in the Gap for you!

Experiencing The Honey that Was Never On The Moon

A good Farmer will never say to the potato seeds, "I'm gong to dig the ground and plant you later." For it is a known fact, procrastination is the thief of time!

A wise Farmer would see to it once the ground is prepared, he then would plant the potato seeds and reap an abundant harvest.

So it is with husbands and wives entering into Holy Matrimony expecting to have honey on the moon. The reality is, there is absolutely no honey on the moon and if you were to ask an Astronaut, he or she will tell you the moon never had any honey on it! Therefore husbands and wives each have to cultivate their marriage relationship like the Farmer, who cultivates his garden being sure to cherish and do those special little things you used to do for your wife!

Wives (me too) make it a priority to have your home's atmosphere with a potent aroma of peace and love so much so each time your husband comes home he will not only feel like a king, but also experience being king of his castle and you his beautiful queen will be treated with tender loving care!

Pause and calmly think about this, marriage is not a fantasy, nor is it a game. Marriage must be worked as a Farmer tills and prepares the ground to plant seed. Just as he waters and fertilizes his crop, he must be sure to keep his garden clean. So it is in marriages husbands and wives must give one hundred percent of love and affection to each other often over look each other faults and even failures! In your marriage relationship just as the farmer receives an abundant harvest, you will receive the honey that was never on the moon!

Much Love!

A Challenge To Husbands & Wives

I challenge every husband and wife, and those aspiring one day to be, put on the full armor of God, make sure you are in covenant with God your Father through the Blood of Jesus Christ and arise to conquer the forces of darkness, which are threatening to destroy your stand in marriage. Become a Force to Reckon with, by uniting in the bond of God's love, and watch as the enemy crumbles before your very eyes. For no foe can reckon with the bond of oneness, it is through the Power of Jesus Christ that you shall do mighty exploits for the Kingdom of God! Much Love!

HOLD ON THE DAY IS DAWNING FOR YOU!

Trust in God! He will see you through - Hold on the day
is dawning.  All of your pain He is taking away, healing
your hurts and comforting you in times of sorrow.  Trust
in God, He will see you through!

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

When days are dark and nights are long and your faith
is fading, look up there is hope. The Father of light is
calling you by your name from above.   He hears your
cries and He feels your pain - Help is on the way!

FORGIVE YOURSELF

Many incidents have occurred in your life.  The haunting guilt
of the past seems to weigh you down daily.  The time has come
for you to shake off the guilt of the past - for you have been
forgiven.  Please forgive yourself.

DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE AND THINGS TO DEFINE YOU!

Do not allow people and things to define you.  Instead sit in the Refiner's
fire and allow the fire of God to consume away all that is not of Him.
You will emerge clothed in His righteousness, faultless to stand before
Him!

DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED!

Use what Yahweh has placed in your hands.  For you were preserved
for such a time as this.  Do not be intimidated by the lying tactics and
intimidation of the enemy.

SUFFERING THE AGONY OF DEFEAT

Suffering the agony of defeat is bringing me into a glorious meet?
Yes, into Your presence Oh LORD - I find You are teaching me
to persevere!

In all you may be going through - continue to persevere.  You will
make it!

CHEWING ON THE WORD!

As a young girl, I was given a herd of goats with the responsibility
of taking them out to pasture every morning and to bring them back
before sunset.  I noticed with these animals, they chewed all the leaves
off the trees all day long.  They kept on regurgitating and chewing.  Then
something wonderful happened, they began to multiply! There was some-
thing else too -  all the land where they pastured was soon clean, there was
no more food for them - I had to find new land. So it is with the Word!
If you and I would chew (meditate) on it, regurgitate it and then keep chewing
(meditating) - me too on it.  Transformation will take place - The Word will
become engrafted in your heart.  The goats were taken to new pastures. You
and I will enter into the rest of Yahweh, the God who has redeemed you and
calls you His Beloved!

YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER!

You are an over comer in spite of the nay Sayers, the dream
killers and all of the liars.  Therefore don't retaliate, God, your
heavenly Father is fighting for you.

BRIDLE YOUR TONGUE!

Bridle your tongue to speak only words of hope and comfort!

BUILDING CHARACTER WITHIN YOU!

Appreciate your trials and the disappointing times in your life,
for they are building character within you.

YOU ARE A TREASURE!

You are a treasure God's beloved! You have encountered many storms -
Endured much suffering, pain, and heartache.  Sickness have ravaged
your body.  Yet you have survived it all.  For you are more than a conqueror

through Christ, who strengthens you - You are a treasure!

KEEP YOUR DREAMS ALIVE!

Many may not believe in your dreams nor in you. Still keep
on dreaming and always keep your dreams alive. For these
are the days when you will see your dreams alive and in living
color.  Stay focused, keep your eyes on the prize which is in
Christ Jesus.  Do not look at the stormy seas, nor fear the
boisterous waves of  life - Keep your dreams alive!
