Have You Started Rebuilding Your Home? By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4 Have you been having marriage problems for a while? Has your home been falling apart by your spouse saying that they do not love you or they are not happy so they are going to get a divorce? Do not allow the words of the enemy to destroy you! Your spouse is living and acting by their emotions and feelings and are deceived by the enemy. Have you fallen into the trap of arguing and fighting or have you started crying out for God’s help in your marriage crisis? Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD: O LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears...

LORD, PROTECT MY REPUTATION & INTEGRITY A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Proverbs 22:1 How often do you say your name daily at work or at school or at a doctor's office? If you call anyone on the telephone, you must identify yourself with your name. Depending on where you work, you can call certain people and have leverage in your telephone call because of your name or your company's name. Around the world, we know the names of well-known people who are movie stars, singers, politicians, radio-show hosts, football players or well-known pastors or evangelists, but some of them do not have a good reputation. How is your memory with people's names? Can you remember your...

Lately, my STAND for my marriage has become EXTREMELY difficult. At times, I have considered giving it all up. In a way, giving up brings about an ultimate peace, BUT it is JUST not to be. The Lord has awakened me! He has renewed my strength! He is commissioning me at this very moment to continue to STAND, UNMOVEABLE! Seven months ago, when my stand began, things were very different. My husband was just entering into this adultery. It was all new, exciting, vibrant and he just couldn't resist! So he left that morning, ###/###/###, very well knowing what he was walking into. Now here it is, all of these months later. The adultery has evolved into non-covenant marriage. I have been SHAKEN to my very core by all that has come against me...

BOOKENDS They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. Psalm 18:18-19 The bookends sitting on the shelf behind my desk have been a part of my life for about ### years. Those two pyramid-shaped pieces of white polished stone were a gift from my parents in ### when I graduated from high school. One of the two bookends now has a chip, but they are not in bad condition, considering where they have been. The bookends went to ### with me when I attended Mortuary Science College. When ### and I married, those bookends moved to a new home, which was supposed to be for a lifetime. In ###, after I had been called into the gospel...

An older Christian woman I know picked up a “bug†while on a trip. On the airplane flying home, she grew desperately sick. Thinking that if she would confess away thesickness, she would be instantly well, she said repeatedly, “I feel fine.†That formula didn’t work. Next, she remembered a speaker who had urged that we are to praise the Lord in all things, so she began saying, “Lord, I thank You that I am sick.†That didn’t cure her illness, so she tried yet another stratagem, based on the title of a book she had read: Don’t Waste Your Sorrows. “Lord,†she said, “I know You are going to use this sickness for some good. I don’t want this experience to be wasted.†Still, nothing in her condition changed. Finally, in...

A Standers Affirmation I AM STANDING FOR THE HEALING OF MY MARRIAGE!... I will not give up, give in, give out or give over 'til that healing takes place. I made a vow, I said the words, I gave the pledge, I gave a ring, I took a ring, I gave myself, I trusted GOD, and said the words, and meant the words... in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in good times and in bad...so I am standing NOW, and will not sit down, let down, slow down, calm down, fall down, look down or be down 'til the breakdown is torn down! I refuse to put my eyes on outward circumstances, or listen to prophets of doom, or buy into what is trendy, worldly, popular, convenient, easy, quick, thrifty, or...

Lord, Open Their Eyes - Turn Them From Darkness "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matthew 6:22-23 God says throughout the Bible, He will set the captives and prisoners free. He will give sight to the blind, and heal the sick. Ask the Lord daily to do this for your spouse and believe in faith that He will do it! As it is written in the Word, it is God's will for all sinners to be saved. Pray for your husband, wife or child to receive healing from their spiritual blindness caused by sin. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and...

The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In...
