MARRIAGESDear Heavenly Father, the God who created everything and for your pleasure they are created. We approach your mercy throne with confidence knowing that you hear and answer prayers. There is no other God beside you Lord and for this we praise your holy name. We come to you today placing all marriages in your holy hands.
You are the one who ordains marriages and have set an example for us to follow in Genesis 1 which states: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply.” With this confidence we know Lord that you have placed a man and a woman together in holy matrimony.
Your words also declares that what you have put together let no man put asunder, so we pray for the marriages, that you intervene, cut a clear every fruit that is not of you in these marriages and let only your will be seen in them. We pray that unconditional love will abide, we pray that understanding will abide, we prayed that peace will be in these homes, we pray that you be a fence around these marriages every day.
Heavenly Father, your word declares that an excellent wife is the crown of her husband, and that he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. So Father, we ask you to bless these marriages, let them find favor in you. Give them the desire Lord to love, honor and obey each other. Give them the strength to uphold each other in times of trouble and despair. Give them the knowledge and wisdom to deal with situations wisely when they arise.
Holy Father, we pray from you words today, allow each wife to submit to her own husband, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. We pray God that each husband loves his wife, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Help the husbands to realize as your word states that he who loves his wife loves himself.
Give the husbands grace to live with their wives in an understanding way, showing honor to them as they weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life. Father, we give you thanks as we place these marriages into your hands and we praise you Lord for answering this prayer in the name of your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hearing from God
Hearing from the LordPrayer is a dialog between the believer and God. It’s a two way communication that involves both talking and listening. That’s the kind of prayer relationship God wants from us. When Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice”, he meant that people who are truly believers recognize and respond to his voice.
They are constantly tuned in to him and ready to respond to his call. That’s the kind of listening that prayer requires.Prayer is all about hearing our Shepherd’s voice. In fact, when we pray, it’s probably more important to listen than to speak. After all, God has far more to say than you or I do. Before rushing into God’s presence with your thoughts and needs, be attentive to what God is trying to tell you.Hearing God also means a readiness to obey.
God does not speak just to give people a chance to decide if they want to obey. God speaks to those who take him seriously and who stand ready to respond to whatever he says.When listening, be sure that the voice you hear is the Shepherd’s. There are other voices clamoring for attention – the voice of the evil one, the voices of the world, and the inner voices of your own selfish desires.
The better you know the Shepherd, the more sure you will be of his voice. If you are unsure, ask Jesus to open your ears to his voice and to close your ears to the misleading voices of the enemy. He will be more than happy to do that.
The Shepherd is eager for you to hear his voice! Are you eager to listen?

Way to Salvation
God's Gift To You
Salvation is a gift that is made available to those who repent, believe and confess that Jesus is Lord and that He died and rose from the dead to save mankind (Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10) and is coming back again to receive His church (bride) unto Himself.
This gift cannot be earned through good deeds or by simply being "good" (Ephesians 2:8; 1 Timothy 1:9). It is a matter of faith (acting out on what you believe according to God's Word concerning salvation). If you have come here looking for a change in your life, if you have come seeking a peace that is found only through a personal relationship with a loving God, then you are at the right place. God is ready and willing to help you—right now, and right where you are.
Here are Five Steps To Salvation
1. Acknowledge your condition
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags…" (Isaiah 64:6).
2. Repent; be sorry, turn away from your sinful ways
"Unless you repent, you too will all perish" (Luke 13:3)."Repent then, and turn to God, so that your sins will be wiped out" (Acts 3:19).
3. Confess your sins
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9)."If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
4. Believe in Jesus"For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John3:16)"Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved; but whoever does not believe will be condemned". (Mark 16:16)"...Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved..." (Acts 16:31)
5. Receive and accept Him and His WordHe came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John1:11,12)
Why not make your eternal decision now!
Why don't you do it today?
Right now at this moment acknowledge to Him that you're a sinner and
lost without Him, and ask Him to forgive you and to come into your
life as your Lord and Savior.Start today to experience the most
precious free gift you will ever receive.
If you accept the free gift he offers you - the gift he bought and
paid for on the cross - then you can have a wonderful now in him an
incredible,unimaginable future for all eternity with Him. All you
have to do is accept it.
Awesome, isn't it?"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20
Simply Pray This Prayer:Heavenly Father, I recognize and admit that I am a sinner. I turn away from my sins, confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord. I believe that He lived, died and was raised from the dead for my salvation. I now forsake my way and follow yours. I open my heart and I receive you, Jesus, as my personal Lord and Savior. I now believe you have taken away my sins, and Lord, thank You for saving me this day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Mighty God
When I consider the way you made me,How you formed me in the darkness of the womb,You place your breath and life in me so that I can serve you.I consider how you made every part of my body so that each part caters to the other,The eyes to see, the ears to hear, the hands to hold,My tongue to praise you Lord and to speak words of comfort.You give me a song every day and your mercies are new every morning.You make me perfect in your image and nothing is lacking in any section.How awesome is my God, How great is His name,How magnificent is His power,There is no one to compare!!!!!!

The Amazing Love of God
Could we with ink the ocean fillAnd were the skiesof parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quillAnd every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God aboveWould drain the ocean dry,Nor could the scrollcontain the wholeThough stretched from sky to sky
Eph 3 vs 14-19
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
What A Love
God you love me enough to die and set me free,You gave me an opportunity to have life more abundantly,Oh how he love me, Oh how he loves you,Oh how he loves this world to send His only son to die in our stead.For this reason God I will praise you and live for you daily,This is a journey that I have started with you Lord and I will continue comes what may.At times it does get hard but as long as I got You beside me then nothing else matters.Teach me your ways God not just today but everyday as I travel on this life's journey.
I Must Decrease God and You Increase
Lord it does not matter that I am suffering, or that I am in need or that I am even sometimes persecuted.What matters is that through everything I am realizing I must live for You and do the Your will.I must realize at all times that the devil will throw his darts but it's for me to overcome and never give up
Awesome God
There is none like you Lord, No one understands my fears, my thoughts, my actions or my deeds the way you do.You know my deepest desire and how every part of me works.You know my faults, my likes and my dislikesYou know me before I was even created.God you are awesome and must be praise!!!!!!!!

I Give You Honor
Though weak and helpless in life’s fray,God’s mighty power shall be my stay;Without, within, He gives to meThe strength to gain the victory. —D. De Haan
The trials of earth are small compared with the triumphs of heaven.
The trials of earth are small compared with the triumphs of heaven.
The Lord is Our Rock
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou saves me from violence
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."
Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.
I Samuel 2:2 "There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.
Psalm 9:9 The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;God will preserve all his people,
2Ti 4:18. Those who receive signal mercies from God, ought to give him the glory. In the day that God delivered David, he sang this song. While the mercy is fresh, and we are most affected with it, let the thank-offering be brought, to be kindled with the fire of that affection. All his joys and hopes close, as all our hopes should do, in the great Redeemer. With God by our side we have the victory. Stand firm in God’s words and He will stand firm beside us.

The Holy Spirit
Eph. 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them.
John 3:33 "He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.
Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation-- having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 1
Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit;When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word, what a glory He sheds on our way, While we do His good will, He abides with us still and to all who will trust and obey. I encourage everyone to keep doing what you are doing for God, don’t give up don’t grieve the Holy Spirit, our Comforter.
Never Give Up
When man thinks that there is no hope or way out that is when God steps in and gives us his hand.We cannot understand the ways of God but when He intervenes, we have the victory. The battle will get harder but one thing we need to remember is that God is standing by.The trials only come to make us strong, would we be able to say that we are conquerors in God if we never fought? Would we be able to give Him the glory if we never know sorrow or pain. Through all things whether good or bad we need to give God thanks. We must thank HIm even when it seems difficult to do.

Not My Will
I am asking God today: Not my will God but let your will be done in my life.I am asking you Lord to lead me not me leading you.I am willing God to be obedient to your will because that is the only way I can be sober and gain the victory.You have been merciful towards me God and for this I must live for you.So has I stand before you today God I ask for you to dress me with your whole armor so that I not only can stand but I will be obedient to YOU.
