Who Are You Talking To?

Have you ever said that to your mate? Has your mate ever said that to you?
Man, how do we get to the point of saying stuff like that to each other? For some it's a I got you now, so I'm going to be careless,maybe it's just taking that person for granted, for others it may be that you both forgot how to be friends, and seriously for some it may be out of ignorance. Do you remember how you talked to one another when you were courting? We were so mindful of the other persons feelings and we were so considerate, neither of us would dare say anything that would hurt or belittle the other right. So what happens married couples...maybe we get slack and comfortable, overly secure and careless. Some have experienced deep disappointments and have become ummm.. for lack of a better word rude and hateful. Some are just tired and have resorted to treating each other just any old kind of way. Well I came today to encourage you all to think about how you both communicated to one another when you were courting. Think about the smiles that you gave one another just because. Sometimes we have to go back to square one because we have deviated from the blue print so much. The Bible talks about the fruits of the Spirit you can recall them all right..ok me neither, so I'm going to put them up here,

Galatians 5:22,23^- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Now let's look at the opposite attributes of the flesh. Remember these...no, ok here ya go.

Galatians :19-21 -Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, quarreling, rivalry, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like. About these things I tell you again, as I have also told you in times past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

And that's where it gets not only ugly but dangerous because now we are in danger of missing Heaven. It's tight but it's right! I'm not able to go through each of the fruits right now as well as the works of the flesh and give you the Hebrew and or Greek definition but I encourage you to go through these lists and wherever the WORD hits you repent, meaning stop and turn and go in another direction. God is really concerned about marriages, all marriages and it's time to stop blaming the devil and acting like we live on Old Mcdevils Farm..here a devil , there a devil everywhere a devil, devil. Yes we have a formidable, yet defeated adversary who as long as we continue to operate in the fruit of the Spirit will stay defeated. It's when we crossover the Cross and we get into the flesh that we swing that door wide open, but we can't blame the devil for our actions no, no, we have power over our own choices especially as Christians. It's when we chose to flesh out that the devil comes and sets up strongholds in our marriages. Remember we are spirit beings having a human experience we CAN walk in the Spirit, just not on Sundays and Wednesdays but everyday. We can use our tongues to bless our mates and speak respectfully to one another and speak sweet things to each other. Please don't let the struggles or disappointments with your spouse keep you both from being awesome examples of God in your families and communities. God wants us to experience abundant life in every area and this area is a crucial one! John 10:10

Blessings of strength, joy, power, forgiveness, and perseverance on all the marriages represented in Jesus name. Your marriage WILL make it and your marriage WILL be all that God intended for it to be!!!

Pray about it!!!
