(From The Minister's Heart)
When a man and woman marries - enters into holy matrimony. They also enter into a covenant -binding agreement - with God to put Him first in their life.
Genesis 2:18
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet.
Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother; and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
*** God do not want man to be alone on earth so he made woman to help him - so they can fellowship and have a good relationship with each other. God also wants to fellowship and have a good relationship with us.
A nationally known TV pastor said, "We have to work at marriage the way we work at salvation."
Our class Instructor/Counselor said, " Her counselling sessions in marriage is based on Ephesian 5:21 - 33."
***Ephesian 5:21 - 33 is in the Holy bible for our reading.
*** A main point God is telling spouses is to be submissive to each other, also be respectful to each other. The wife knows her husband is the head of the house and she should be obedient to him according to the word of God. The husband knows the wife is the weaker vessel and he should respect her and lay down his life for her. To allow her to lean and depend on him through Jesus Christ.
*** Lastly, marriage vowels are very sacred: for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer through sickness and in health ... till death separate us.
*** This is what Jesus said, " I will never leave you or forsake you; I will be with you until the end of the earth." That is what he said.
Hold on, hold on I will be with you that is what he said - song
*** Again, marriage is holy and the vowels are sacred.
*** Before marrying someone it is good to get spiritual counseling.
Proverb 18:22
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
*** When a man find a good help meet - a woman in the Lord - both of them have God's blessings in the marriage.
*** Ask God to give you his chosen spouse and obtain his favor
.
Lets let our marriage work out in the Lord - until we meet again soon?

Holiday Acknowledgement
During this time of year many people have problems financially, not only with regular bills but with accumulated bills from the holidays: Thanksgiving dishes, Christmas dishes and gifts, then there is the big one, the New Year celebration.
After we come back to reality the big question is, "What Must I Do to be saved from these bills?"
This is the same question Nicodemus asked Jesus after coming to him by night, in short, "What must I do to be saved?"
Many times we ask last - what should have been the first question.
Matthew 6:33-34 says,
Seek ye first the kingdomm of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
***We should acknowledge God in all our ways by seeking Him for ways of doing things right, and then other things will be given to us.
If we have not acknowledged Him from the beginning, don't worry about whats all ready done, lets began in prayer - thanking Him for a better outcome; because tomorrow is going to hold enough problems in itself.
We can always cast our worries and cares on God, because He first cared for us. He knows how much we can bare. We need to take them, our problems and worries, to the cross and leave them there.
Lets continue to acknowledge God during this holiday season.
Until we meet again - soon.

A Childless Mother
(Thought)
God loves His children all the time.
I Samuel 1:11 says,
And Hannah vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
***The bible tells us, Our children are a blessing to us. God gives us children to make us happy. We are to care for and nurture them in a Godly manner.
Questions Posed: Should our children be left in the care of anyone during holiday seasons?
Parents should always know where their children are and who they are with...
The same courtesy should be given to children. They should always know where their parents are in case of an emergency.
Our children should be given the same quality of attention, love and care with caretakers as they are with us?
Psalm 113:9
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
***The bible also tells us to bring our children up in a way pleasing to God; teaching them biblical principles.
***We know that children are our future, the next generation, and our caregivers in our latter years.
Lets continue to let our attention, love and joy show towards our children.

A Day Of Thanksgiving
(From The Minister's Heart)
** Christians realize that every day is a day of Thanksgiving. God has been so good to us, and every day He keeps on blessing us. His mercy is renewed every morning.
Psalm 34: 1 - 3
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
** Let us bless the Lord by thanking Him for all that he has done for us. He watched over us from the time we were in our mother's womb until now. Let us magnify the Lord by praising His holy name. Let our soul bless the Lord and not forget all His benefits, according to Psalm 103:2
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Psalm 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday set aside for families to thank the Lord for all the blessings and benefits He has bestowed upon us: Family, friends, love ones, food, clothes and shelter ...
_________________________________
VETERANS DAY - November 11, 2010
Another national holiday. Lets continue to be thankful for the men and women who laid down their lives for our country, so that we could have a better life: For our freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This reminds me of what Jesus, our savior, done, but he did much more.
Let us continue to be thankful - until we meet again - soon.

Knowing What Prayer Can Do
Matthew 6:6
Buy thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
When we pray to our heavenly Father we don't have to use big words, so that we may be seen and heard, for our fine vocabulary. God knows our heart; He knows what we have need of before we ask Him. Being sincere in our prayer life is what is needed, and asking for it in the name of Jesus.
When we pray secretly to God, He reward us openly, by making our request know publicly. The sincere and humble prayer from our heart reaches His heart.
In Matthew 6
Jesus taught his disciples the model prayer. Being a child of God we have a personal relationship with Him and it shows up in our prayer life.
In distress, a prayer may simply be: Lord have mercy on me. Help me Lord. Keep me Lord, etc....
Philippians 4:6 says,
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be make known unto God.
Prayers should always end with thanking the Lord for His goodness, mercy and what He is about to do in our life.
Lets contine to remember what prayer can do in our lives.

One Feet (Step) Before The Other
(Thought)
Psalms 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
Psalm 119:133
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Many times in life it seems as though so much is happening at once and we are running out to time and space. Instead of taking one step at a time we try to juggle everything instantly. Making a big mess out of the task we are trying to accomplish.
We must acknowledge God every day and in all our ways. If we commit our works and everything we do unto the Lord, during the day our thoughts will be established, according to Proverbs 16:3.
Things that are impossible and hard to complete by man is just right for God. Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me." Nothing is too hard for God. He watches over His word to accomplish that which He has spoken, "Let There Be."
The Holy Spirit is abiding with us. It teach us and leads us to do all things that our Heavenly Father tells us.
We can do all things through Christ, and nothing is accomplished without Him.
Lets continue to let God lead us by ordering our steps in His word.

The Greatness Within Men
(From The Minister's Heart)
There are many great men in society. The greatness is within the man. It is call the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, which abides with him and teaches him all things. It bring all things back to his remembrance that Jesus has told him. It leads and guides him to all truth and righteousness.
After the Holy Ghost comes upon man he has power because:
It abides with him.
It resides within him.
It relies on him, to do the work of his Father.
This same Holy Spirit allows man to be a witness to other men concerning the goodness of God. Lifting God up and drawing all men unto Him. Other men will be able to teach and preach the word of God. It gives men the power to accomplish things in the spiritual realm that the natural side of man can not accomplish.
***They have move out of that old house, moved into the new house. They have a brand new life and a new way of living.
Lets continue to remember that God's greatness resides within men.
