Royalty for A Day!

Happy Monday Love Birds! What a beautiful day today was. I'm so happy to be married and experiencing the glory of the LORD in it!!! Today I want to share an idea with you that I think is just wonderful and I look forward to surprising my husband with.

How about blessing your spouse to be Queen or King for the day!! Get with your Honey early this week and ask your spouse if they could have one day dedicated to them, what would they like to do! Make sure you take it up a notch married folk... this isn't meant to be like a birth-day but a day of honor, love, and focused devotion...(-:

Have a great week ahead Visitors, FB & Twitter couples & make each moment you have with your spouse special!

Choose...A Lifestyle of Forgiveness

Greetings Family in the name of Jesus! God has given us another week for our marriages to reflect His glory! Hallelujah!

Picture this a beautiful lake, with sweet crystal blue water. Above it a grand mountain range with waterfalls that flow right into the lake. There are animals and plant life all around the lake receiving nutrients and pleasure from the lake. Now imagine that just a few miles away there sits a Nuclear Power Plant and creeping undetected, because of a lack of proper inspections and maintainence are poisonous toxins. On the outside the lake water looks just as sweet and blue, but if you tried to drink it- it would be bitter and if you kept on drinking it would eventually kill you. Does it matter that the waterfalls of clean water are flowing into the lake..ummm no. Because the toxins being stored up are stronger than any fresh water coming into the lake. That's how powerful unforgiveness is couples. It's a killer.

God wants us to keep the life flowing in and out our lake (marriage) so we can stay clean, beautiful, and drinkable. He knows very well the effects of unforgiveness and He doesn't want that for us. Make up in your mind today that no matter what (that doesn't include abuse) you are going to serve one another as a couple in the love and power of the Holy Ghost sincerely from your hearts. God commands us in Colossians 3;13 to Make allowances for each others faults and forgive anyone who offends you. Think seriously about that today couples, God wants us to fully enjoy marriage in all it's glory.

Check for toxins daily and get them under the blood of Jesus, your marriage was designed to be glorious, beautiful, sweet, clean, and drinkable. (-:

Let God Reveal You (Unmarried Ladies)

God Friday Family!! I'm excited today about all the goodness that there is in God and in marriage!!! Today we are going to go back to Eden!
Today we as women are doing things and going places where years ago, would not have been possible but in all of our accomplishments there is still one area that God wants us to chill in....waiting to be found by our mate. Now unless you are in a situation like Ruth was and God tells you what to do--chill or you WILL run that brother off. LOL!!
We have been fasting and praying every Monday for marriages and sometimes we use a prayer about marriages being restored to the relationship that Adam and Eve had before the Fall. So let's go back to Genesis 2:21- 25 --but I want to focus on verse 22 today.

Then the rib which the LORD GOD had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

Did you catch that! WHOA!! HALLELUJAH! My spirit is jumping!! Notice that in verse 23 Eve didn't start running! Why? Because first she KNEW her Creator and then her assignment!!! Ladies when God brings you to your husband--the One you are assigned to help you can KNOW that he is from God if you take the time to seek your Heavenly Father and guess what He will tell you! Right now many of you are being molded and shaped for that man and God is preparing the heart of that brother for you right now!! It doesn't take E-Harmony to hook you up with the man of your dreams it only takes getting into your prayer closet and being quiet and as our sister Linda wrote this week (on our Inspirations page at http://inspirationp4e1.blogspot.com/)..God will speak in your silence and He will tell you everything you need to know about your future ministry partner. I know it seems unromantic to say it this way but that's exactly what it is. Marriage is a Ministry, unto God, each other and the world. It's too important to just get butterflies and gifts from a man you may be considering to marry! Go to your Daddy and WAIT, He will reveal you to one of His sons in due season! If you are already married and don't know what God wants from you both yet why not go on a fast together and seek God.
God again will meet you there because he is your Creator, He created you both to serve Him and God wants your lives to bless other lives...your marriage is and can be blessed to be a blessing (-:

Blessed are the Flexible

I remember hearing a wonderful man of God say "Blessed are the flexible for they will not snap!!" In ministry we have to live from that attitude don't we? We ask God for patience, grace, wisdom, and power to be able to handle the awesome and precious responsibilities that He gives us where the ministry is concerned, but how about in our own homes with our children and mates?

Can I encourage myself and you today to extend the same patience, love, grace, and mercy you have for total strangers towards your mate. The LORD reminded me today of a situation once when my sweetie was driving a bit too fast for me and I went to the Word on him. Obey the laws of the land PLEASE BABY!LOL!! He slowed down, but then I stayed on the subject ...he finally said can you extend some mercy to me please!

I share that because I feel that I'am not the only one who can stand some pruning and growth in this area (-: This week lets' be sensitive and look for areas that we may not have shown as much mercy to our mates as we could have. Maybe write a note like I'am going to do today and say, Hey babe I know I was a bit hard on you regarding__________ but I'm praying for you and if I can help you in any way please let me know.

I believe that would not only please the LORD but our mates as well. (-:

Wait and The Blessing Will Be Great!!

God has been speaking to me the last couple of days about the blessing of waiting.

I remember God saying in Isaiah 40:31 They that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength they shall mount up on wings like an eagle, they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

I remember waiting on my mate. I remember being in church every Wednesday and Sunday loving life with Jesus!! God took care of me and my daughter so beautifully while he prepared us for one of His sons.Then I remember being at the funeral of one of girlfriends. Her infant had been striken with something terrible. I held him at choir rehearsal Thursday night, bounced him around and he spit up on me.Lol! He was the sweetest baby, I look forward to seeing him in glory. After the funeral a minister friend of hers walked up to me, she didn't ask me any questions, she just simply told that because I had been faithful to God that He was going to bless me with a double husband and can I tell you God did just that! This brother cooks, cleans, does laundry on top of being madly in love with God and me, he's faithful and a great provider and a valiant man of God.

All you brothers and sisters out there being faithful to God, you just keep your eyes on Jesus because Jesus has His eye on you! Wait on God and the blessing will be great!!!

Anointed For Your Spouse

It's "Marvelous Marriages Monday" and greetings to you all in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus!!! Oh dear friends and family it's so good to married and in the Kingdom of God!!!

I want to share briefly just some nuggets of truth that my husband and I received at our church's marriage retreat.

Nugget Number 1.

We are ordained and anointed to be with the spouse we have right now! WOW! Just think about that, think about how God hand picked you to be the "life mate" of your spouse! That means to me that I have the ability to supernaturally bless my husband, I hold his heart alone, and I'am responsible for helping him to flourish and be all that God has called him to be. Does that mean I try to "make" him do this or that NOOOOO!!! We are "help mates" NOT "help mommas!"LOL!!
It means just like Adam and Eve we love and help each other, we walk with God together and help each other fulfill God's call for our lives, individually and together. Life in the Garden IS possible, keep praying and asking God to show you how to make your marriage all that God wants it to be in Him. GOD IS GOOD and Marriage is Marvelous in Christ!!!

Vows with a Ring to It

Remember when the children of Israel crossed over the Jordan and entered the Promised Land? Do you remember what God instructed them to do next? He instructed them to pick up and set up 12 stones from the middle of the river, the same river mind you that He caused to stop flowing so they could cross over, as a reminder of this miraculous event. Why? God wanted the children of Israel to pass down to their children the story of God's miracle, He wanted those stones to serve as a memorial of His mighty acts towards them. Joshua 4:6-7

Have your children ever asked you about the stones in your wedding ring? Could you go stone by stone and tell them of the vows that you and your mate have made to one another or of the many times God has helped the family? Share with them the goodness and faithfulness that God has shown you in your marriage. We tell our kids that all the time, how we depend totally on God and His Word to help us through the good times and the challenging times. They are taking special note of the goodness of God because we have made it our business to show them with God, Marriage Is Marvelous!

Why not meditate on your vows and memorize them. Think about the promises you made to your spouse, those unconditional promises I might add. (-:
As you meet other couples and they begin to talk to you about different things going on in their marriage you can encourage them to remember their vows too. Psalm 119:11 says, Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against You. As we go through this wonderful journey with our mates let's keep fresh in our hearts and minds what we promised them before God and continue to walk it out with all the love and passion that we came into our marriage with.

Have a great weekend Visitors, FB & Twitter couples & make each moment you have with your spouse special!

The Days of Eden

I heard a song this morning at church and it blessed me so much then I got to thinking about the words. Then my husband and son went to a Resurrection Sunday dinner at our Aunts house and right there as we were talking my husband goes and gets desert and starts feeding me!!! I'm like LORD this is like the days of Eden.
That blessed me so much. I can't tell you why, but it did and I said I'm going to pray from now on that all marriages experience the "Days of Eden."

Father in Jesus name I pray that You show us how to experience through Christ the beauty and oneness that Adam and Eve had before the fall. I know that we live in hostile territory but I also know that You have given us dominion and every where the soles of our feet touch belongs to us. I pray for couples that they experience the goodness, the freedom, the love, the passion, the compassion, the richness, the oneness that You have intended for us to walk in regardless of what is going on in or outiside our environments. I bind the lies of the devil that says it can't be so, because of this or that for You God are above all and everything with a name has to bow to You. I pray for prosperity and peace, longsuffering and a strength to keep on keeping on.I pray especially for those with a 5 fold call of God on their lives. I pray for discernment and unity, I pray for steadfastness and the ablility to NOT get offended with You God because of some the hardships,test and trials, disappointments, that You have allowed them to walk through. Let them see that what they've gone through has prepared them for the territory they are about to breakthrough and conquer in Your name! May the love of God and the joy of God fill your hearts and your homes in Jesus name so you can take what you have and bless others!!!

The Days of Eden couples...we don't need to go to glory to experience it we just need to tell God we want what He intended in the Garden and make whatever adjustments to obtain it and maintain it. YOU ARE BLESSED in Jesus name!!!!
