Speaking Life Today...

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. -Proverbs 18:21 God I thank you today for my wife. I speak your blessings over her and our children.You called me to bless those who bless me and I have been wonderfully blessed bythem. Grant them the strength to make it through the day. Forgive them for anysins they may have committed whether knowingly or not. Give them your love today and do not depart from them. He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. -Proverbs 18:22 I give You thanks father for my wife this day. Let her know that I see her for the gift that she is. I thank You for making me into the Husband that can best meet her needs. Let her know today that I want nothing more than to be the Husbandthat You designed for her. I recognize the favor that you have poured out on myin my family. Empower me to be the priest, father, provider, lover, friend, teacherthat they need. In Jesus name I thank you Amen

Claiming God’s Promises and Scriptures

by Zig Ziglar As a child of the King I claim the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; here there is no conflict with the law. Since I live by faith and follow the Holy Spirit, I will let Him lead me in every part of my life. I will not become conceited or irritate my brothers and sisters in Christ, nor will I be jealous of any of them. I always put on the full armor of God so that I can stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the devil, and I use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle I will still be standing firm. I put on the sturdy belt of truth and body armor of God’s righteousness. My shoes are the shoes of peace that comes from the Good News, so I am fully prepared. Since I need faith in every battle to stop the fiery arrows aimed at me by Satan, I will also put on my helmet and take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I

A Letter to God...

Dear God, I just wanted to take this moment to thank you for being my God. You knew that I wouldn't take the time to seek you. You knew that I would run from your call. You knew that I was going to go against your will on many occasions. You even knew that even after I write this letter to you that I still wouldn't get it right. But God you had a purpose for my life. You created me, crafted me, shaped and molded me into the man I am today. Thank you for entrusting me with the vision, talent, gifting, and relationships that I have. Speaking of relationships I wanted to specifically for my wife, a true Proverbs 31 woman. She is truly a blessed woman of God. She loves and longs after you. She knows what it means to be a wife and mother. She handles all of her responsiblilites with poise and grace. She's a smart, funny, secure, and confident woman who is also pretty cute too. I can see how much you are working in her life. She is growing each day and it is awesome to be able to

Why Don't I Listen???

Today I feel very much like Paul. " We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it." -Romans 7:14-20 Today I had plans to do two very specific things . Begin writing My Fulfilled Life Write a special message to my Wife However that did not happen. Even when God directly intervened I still did something other than what I needed to get done. It is amazing to me how everytime I

God's Faithfulness...

So many things are going on right now that it is hard for me to even put them into words. I have seen God move in my life before but never like this. I was asked by my Pastor to give the sermon on the 15 of October. I never thought that this day would come. I always knew that God had this for me, even though I spent many years running from it, but now I know that he always does what he says. He blessed me and those who were able to listen.
