Ephesians 5:11-14

Ephesians 5:11-14 (KJV)
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Today’s Prayer (11/08/2018)

Lord God, please help us love those in our family as You love us. Often times we learn about loving our neighbor and give to the needy, while our family suffers. I know God that those in need, need our help but our family does too. Help me learn to love my parents, brothers and sisters, wife and kids with Your love. May they no longer be left out but instead be sought after and cared for. May we be more in tune to their needs and respond in a big way. Give us over to truly know and understand more about their lives. This way, we will react and help them when things are going south. I am grateful for the Bible and the lessons learned from Solomon’s first wife in “Song Of Solomon 3”. I pray that as people read this chapter that they will be influenced by the love that was shown. Then, as they understand that their family’s needs are as important, may they respond to their needs in a similar way. I know that I need to do this more as well. As I look around my family, I can see that each one of their lives are in need of something. That is why I need Your counsel and guidance. Whatever their needs are now, let me find them out and help care for them. May Your peace rest upon their souls. I love You Lord. Amen.

Care For Those We Love

Even in the midst of the love that Solomon’s wife showed towards Solomon, there is someone greater that cares for each one of us. That person is God.

Song Of Solomon 3:1-4

Song Of Solomon 3:1-4 (KJV)
1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

Matthew 2:16-18

Matthew 2:16-18 (KJV)
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Today’s Prayer (11/07/2018)

Oh Lord, I know that the world we live in is so dark and so many people need Your light to brighten their lives. Such darkness comes from many different things, especially abortion. The fact that it is legal to kill an unborn child is so devastating. People think that making such choices is OK, but I know God, how much you despise it. The Holy Spirit confirms to me that Your wrath is upon such people that commit these killings. Please open their eyes to the wickedness therein. Bear witness to these people how much it breaks Your heart to see unborn or born children die. I do not wish these people to be cast out into hell when they have a chance to repent. There still is time Lord. May the lost repent and come to You fully. Then can Your blood cover them. I know that there is mercy and forgiveness for those that turn from their sins and follow You. Your grace is for everyone, no matter our crimes. Thank You for helping me come out of a life of sin. You were the one that helped me and now my life is healed. Thank You. I trust in You Lord. My life is to follow You. I love You. Amen.

Abortion Is Murder

Please understand that children, unborn or born, are precious in the sight of God. Never ever harm your children unless you desire the wrath of God, this includes abortion.

Finished My Study On Ecclesiastes

I am blessed to have finished my study on Ecclesiastes. It was a blessing to read from God’s Word and understand how so much in this world is vanity.

Song Of Solomon 2:4-6

Song Of Solomon 2:4-6 (KJV)
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

Today’s Prayer (11/06/2018)

Lord, I need You. Your love is greater than my own. I need love that lasts and can continue to impact lives for the better, especially my wife’s. Your love moves me to do things that I am incapable of on my own. But in the same light, it is what I need in my marriage. Come and raise me up into Your everlasting love, that it might stir inside of me and do something amazing in my life and my marriage. I know that what I have with her can be elevated. I trust in You to help me say and do things that are genuine. I may not be the best at describing my feelings but with You in my life, I am able to converse and talk with her and not feel intimidated. You help me showcase love through words and even actions. My wife knows she is beautiful and loved when You are moving me to genuinely care for her. You turn my thoughts upon her and put excitement back into my life. Surely, I can’t wait to have her around that I might see her beautiful countenance. I can’t wait to spend time with my love. Lord, You have brought me to this place and I am humbled to have such a sweet wife. I love You. Amen.

Marriage On Cloud Nine

God will move you to speak to the very soul of your spouse. You will say things that will move them in a way that will truly impact them.

Today’s Prayer (11/05/2018)

Oh Lord, I pray that my marriage and others will be strengthened. Come and showcase Your love within my marriage and all others that are struggling. We need You to move us in a new light, starting today. We know that our marriage is important but for it to be revived, Your hand needs to be involved. You can help bring that passion for our spouse, even though it is lacking now. We can only do and try so much but with Your power in our lives, we are more than capable of showcasing Your great love towards one another. Yes, Your love can take us to places we have never experienced before. We will do and say things that are out of ordinary. Like tell our spouse, on a frequent basis, how beautiful and precious they are to us. You can move us to tell them more often, how much we love them. How deep our soul longs for them. That they are our greatest love aside from You. This will revive our hearts to do more for one another. To listen to their needs and act on them. To carry out Your desires in their lives. What a great thing, this will do to rejuvenate my marriage and others. I trust in You God. You can do all things in me and my spouse and my marriage. She is my delight and no other woman will bring me love like she does. I love You Lord. Amen.

Song Of Solomon 1:14-16

Song Of Solomon 1:14-16 (KJV)
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

The Passion In Marriage

Tell your spouse how beautiful they are, on a daily basis. Learn of Solomon when he said, “behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.”

Today’s Prayer (11/04/2018)

Lord God, we come to You now in all humility. Teach us God, on how to serve You. Our flesh is weak but You can help us fight against all temptation. Your armor helps us live according to Your will. We know that our own will power will fail us over time but You are able to build us up and help us resist. Yes God, we do not wish to be influenced by the evils of this world and fall victim to sin and death. Even the riches of this world do not compare to the love found in You. So we come to You for forgiveness and mercy. We need You in our life Lord. We need Your love. Come and shine Your light upon us that this love may indwell inside of each of us. We know that Your commandments are important and with this love, we are more than capable of loving like You do. Your love is amazing and it changes us each day that we seek You. May this same love come from us and into other people’s lives, that they may also draw nearer to You. May this love influence us to give to those in need, including our church. Guide us to those that are needy that we may help them. This we do in order to serve You, my King. We give You all the glory. We love You Lord. Amen.

John 14:15-17

John 14:15-17 (KJV)
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Keep God’s Commandments

If we are seeking God and allowing His love into our lives, then we will love as He loves. However, our own love is temporary and does not make a lasting difference in a person’s life.

Ecclesiastes 12:13,14

Ecclesiastes 12:13,14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Today’s Prayer (11/1/2018)

Oh Lord, we call upon Your Name, that You may fill us with the Holy Spirit. Allow us into Your awesome presence, that we may learn of You, my King. Give us wisdom. Help show us the way. We are here to rest a while with You, for You are our delight. There is nothing like You, God. Nowhere else can we find refuge from the storms of life. There is no place else where we can experience eternal joy and happiness. We need the peace that only You can bring. We are lost without You. Thank You Lord for Your forgiveness and mercy. I can feel Your compassion and am amazed by Your grace. Thank You for putting Your arms around me and wiping away my tears away. When I am down, You are always there for me. You lift me up. My sorrows are no more, when Your peace fills my soul. Your love is amazing and it changes everything. Surely, my burdens are light because You are in my life. Thank You for caring so deeply for me. I love You, my dear Lord and Savior. My hope is in You. Amen.

Rest In Jesus

There is nothing like being surrounded by the presence of God. Once you’ve experienced such peace and tranquility, you won’t help but go back to the Lord.
