God can do the impossible! No matter what you're going through.

Hi All! I hope each and every one of you are enjoying my daily posting of the "Charlyne Cares" Devotional that is posted daily from the Rejoice Ministries website. This site and this couple are a real inspiration to all of us who are Standers for our marriages. As well as posting a daily devotional, there is also a daily radio program, many helpful prayers, many other resources that prove helpful during our journey.I personally recommend the books they have written, especially the ones written from the Prodigals Perspective...I have read and reread them. I especially love that they are Ebooks, as I'm a techy at heart. I have received so much positive feedback from many of you who are really being lifted and encouraged. I hope all of...

GOD'S LETTER TO THE STANDER Did you know there is a book of the Bible written specifically for you? Standers and prodigals are so close to the Lord’s heart that He devoted an entire book pleading with you to receive your prodigal back just as you would receive Him. Which book you ask? Philemon. This is a very short book in the New Testament that can be read in full in a matter of a few minutes. I encourage every stander to read it. Paul, the author, is appealing to his friend in Christ, Philemon, for him to receive back Onesimus. Onesimus was a runaway slave, just as your prodigal may currently be a slave to their sin. I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains…I am sending him—who is my very...

THE PLANS OF THE LORD STAND FIRM FOREVER! Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. Psalm 33:1-3 Will you praise and worship the Lord this Sunday and every day for His greatness? We serve an awesome mighty God. I would encourage you to read Psalm 33. The author, who many say is David, calls on God's righteous people to praise God for who He is and for all His works. We are to sing joyfully to the Lord, with music and sing to Him a new song with joy. I know that when you are praising the Lord, you may even be crying, but continue to praise the Lord anyway...

All humans have sketchy past for no one is perfect. No One Is Righteous Romans 3:9-12 9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.â€[a] I often look at my past and say if only, if only I would have tried harder, if only if I was not so weak , if only I would have said yes, if only if this person would have not hurt me so bad. But it is our mistakes and regrets which shapes our...

We all know forgiveness is a must, as per the word of god. After forgiveness, we need to do the following 1.No Vengeance against the person who sinned against you. For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:30-31(KJV) 2. Pray for the person who hurt you Pray for the happiness of those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Luke 6:28(NLT) 3.Discipline your Minds and stop thinking about that. Take that thought captive and make it obedient to Christ in Jesus Name Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God...

The Importance of Praying Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.†And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 I believe that Jabez is showing us that by our righteous living, if we will faithfully call on our Lord God, He will bless us. Jabez demonstrates that God's divine blessing and protection do not come automatically, but occur as the result of our commitment to Him and as a result of our prayers. May you examine your heart about your prayer life. You may be thinking, I do not have time, but we must make time to pray to our Lord God daily. We need to seek His face and His will in every...

Dear Father God, I am thankful. Last year at this time I was on deaths door, taking too many sleeping pills and my child deserves the best of me now., I almost died in darkness. I had a pinkies worth of light left in me to Pray to You to help me....and You Jesus, You moved in me, to fill me up with your light. You reached in and pulled me out and raised me up. Thank you for giving me my family and keeping my son safe and secure. Psalm 56:12-13 12 I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. I am filled with your love, and although I have a lot to learn I am so grateful to have You and You...

Do You Have Sin In Your Marriage? Bob and I had sin in our marriage, but I did not know what to do to stop it or how to pray for us. There are spouses leaving home every day to do what they want to do, regardless of what the Bible teaches. They do not fear God with their actions or behavior. They have no regard for their marriage vows, the marriage covenant, or the pain that they are causing their spouse, their children and so many other loved ones. They are being seduced and deceived by the enemy, Satan. Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? Psalm 52:1 Your spouse or a rebellious teenager or young adult has been tempted, deceived, seduced or blinded by...

I have been always interested in the Jewish roots of Christianity, for three reason. One they are the ones that God choose to bring salvation to us through. Two my great Grandfather is German, and no offense but I always feared I might be related to Nazis. And three I desire to know the belief system of the Jewish culture. I am pretty sure I am not a Nazis descendent since I discovered I am part Jew, so I am grateful of that. However, that does did not tell me anything about the Jewish culture. So I have been reading and studying religious websites such as Chabad . And I discovered I love their belief system, so if they would just believe in our savior Yeshua/Jesus it would be perfect!!!!!!!! However, life does not work like that in...
