Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Fight for your marriage. God brought you together for a purpose. You chose your spouse for a reason, not a season!

One persons actions leads to another persons reactions. Too many don't want to admit their faults. They don't want to accept accountability of what they are or are not doing in their relationship. They want to hide what they are doing because it's wrong. This is why so many marriages fail. Some will run from their marriage so they don't have to face the guilt of what they have done and what they aren't doing. In this, they may choose to completely cut off their spouse and try to blame them for all of the poor choices they've made: p**n, s*x dating websites, adultery, addictions, stealing, etc. But running from the problems and not getting to the root of it will cause the person running a lifelong entanglement of regret, heart ache, misfortune, and ultimately can lead them straight to hell.

This also leads their partner in to a world of chaos, confusion, heart ache, disparity, grief, depression, suicidal thoughts, and can push them in to doing things they wouldn't normally do. It affects the Spirit, mind, and heart. This is why communication is so important and vital not only to the marriage but to each individual. Each person has their own flaws but when you love someone you try to magnify the good, not the bad & ugly. You talk through the bad and ugly but not judge. Don't repay evil for evil or make temporary choices that will lead to a lifetime of regret.

The Bible teaches us that if we see a brethren doing wrong then we are to approach them. When this happens, the devil will get very defensive and accuse you of judging when the fact is you're trying to love them through it and help them with correction. If they won't hear or change, then we are to go to an elder of the church and approach them together but if the one has cut the other off, there is no way to approach. This sets up a hurt and grief like no other because you aren't working through it. Some would say, dust your feet and walk on. Just divorce them, you don't deserve this. But when you have a genuine (agape, aheb) love for someone it isn't that easy. And when you have a Christ like heart, you forgive them. Some would say, well just because you forgive them doesn't mean you have to stay in the relationship: no you don't but it also doesn't mean that the grass will be greener on the other side. Nor does it stop the heart ache or pain-even for years to come. The worst mistake I've ever made is trying to move forward when I really wasn't ready to. I admit, that's my mistake. I'm just being real here, speaking from experience...sorry if it hurts anyone.

What happened to couples who fought for their marriage-"til death do we part". The evils of this world are destroying families. I know first hand. This affects children and what is it telling our children?! When the going gets tough, bail out?! That's why the divorce rate is so high today. No, when it gets tough, you fight harder. How do you fight when one of the partners continue cheating, or in their sin, or go AWOL?! On your knees! Prayer! Seeking God! Fasting! Having true warriors join with you in the fight! But beware of wolves in sheeps clothing! Know who is truly for you and who is against you!

God's word says: Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let no man separate. Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Know that the devil is out seeking to rip your family apart. Have your full armor on! Pray for your spouse! Pray together! Seek God together!

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear he one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Just like the children of Israel had to be chased by Pharaoh's army to the Red Sea in order for them to cross over to get to the promise land sometimes in life we have to be pushed in order to move. And when we think that we are about to be overtaken, that's when we become overcomers! Trust and stand firm with your faith.

Exodus 14: 13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

Jesus loves us and cares for us. He makes intercession for us with God. This is how He prayed before being took by the officers from the chief priests and Pharisees.

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

The Greatest Gift

1 Corinthians 13:1 (NKJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Sometimes in life the devil will set traps, especially in times of grief. When you're grieving, you feel different emotions-sadness, hurt, anger, despair, disappointment, rejection, confusion, depression, and sometimes even battle su***de. When going through this you'll grasp at anything that will give you peace, joy, hope, and strength. We each have to learn life's lessons for ourselves as a part of growing. When you fall, ask for forgiveness and move forward. And from experience don't put your trust in man but put it in the Father. Run to your shield and buckler.

Jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Build your house upon The Rock

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Lord I ask in Jesus name that you help me persevere! All I want is to continue to seek and cling to you. I know through the trials and storms of life, you're with me and everything will work out for my good, your purpose, and your plan. You're my peace, hope, and strength Lord. And in you I put my faith and trust.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

There was a man who had two sons. The younger of the sons asked his father for his inheritance and he took it and went to another land. He left everything that he knew. Where he was trained up and raised because he wanted to get away from the place that had been his home. When he went out from under his fathers care, he blew his inheritance in careless sinful ways. Then there was a famine and he found himself in need. So he joined a citizen in that country and had to feed the pigs. The son had nothing to eat, no one would give him anything so he ate with the pigs.

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we feel so low and so unworthy. Sometimes people in our lives can make us feel so unloved, unwanted, abandoned, not good enough, worthless, ugly, used and so many negative things. None of that is true.

We are all beautifully created in the image of our Father and loved beyond measure by God. When the son came to his senses, he remembered how his fathers servants even had more than enough to eat. He decided to return to his father and ask for forgiveness so that maybe he could be a servant again. So he set out on his journey. When he got in eye sight his father seen him coming in the distance. The father celebrated and told his people to get his son a ring, a robe, shoes, and to prepare a feast with the fatted calf. He didn't wait to ask his son where he's been, what he's been doing, or why he done the things he did!! He just was preparing for him, ran to meet him, and willing to receive his son back.

You've never went to far in sin to turn around and ask for forgiveness. The Father is there with open arms! All you have to do is ask and you shall receive. No one is perfect. We all fall. We don't have permission to sin but we do have an advocate with the Father. And the Father is willing to receive if you are willing to ask for forgiveness and Him in to your life. LIVE AGAIN!!

The Parable of the Lost Son
Luke 15:11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’

20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
