A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE

 

As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother to get married, and he becomes like one person with his wife.” This is a great mystery, but I understand it to mean Christ and his church. So each husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself, and each wife should respect her husband.

Ephesians 5:31-33

Marriage is a great mystery. And we find the secret to the mystery in heaven. God created man, and He created woman. God designed a lifelong relationship between a man and a woman that speaks loudly about Jesus and those who belong to Him.

God did not create men and women to be the same. They are two pieces of the puzzle of life that when they come together, life goes on.

Of course, the Bible does not require that anyone marry. But if you do, you display the glory of Heaven to men and women on earth.

Men, when you love your wife you are stepping into the Stream of the joy of heaven. Women, when you respect your husband, you are learning a Secret from heaven.

So marriage is one of Satan's prime targets. He wants to destroy the most beautiful picture ever painted on earth!

A beautiful marriage makes the most beautiful sunset pale in comparison.

“Thank You, Jesus, for allowing us to experience being part of the picture of You and Your Bride. May Your Holy Name be praised now and forever. Amen.”

Surrender to God

 

Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you. Come near to God, and He will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can’t make up your mind.

James 4:7-8

Have you surrendered your life to God, and are you resisting the devil? Many people resist God and surrender to the devil.

When you come near to God, the devil will run away from you.The evil one doesn't mind being near you, but when you are near God he is afraid and he runs away. So the way to get rid of the devil in your life is to live close to God. Begin your day thinking about Jesus and reading the word of God while you meditate on what it says.

When your heart and mind are not focused on Jesus Christ you will find temptations coming from every direction. But when you think about Jesus and contemplate His role in your life, the steps you take and the path you walk will be far from Satan.

The truth is this: either you will be near to God or the devil will be near to you!

“Lord Jesus, help me to stay near You today so the devil will stay away. May Your holy name be praised now and forever Amen.”

Believe It or Not

 

Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross. Then God gave Christ the highest place and honored his name above all others. So at the name of Jesus everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and to the glory of God the Father everyone will openly agree, “Jesus Christ is Lord!”

Philippians 2:8-11

Even those without faith now will one day bow the knee and proclaim that Jesus is Lord!

Atheism is a temporary condition that will come to an abrupt end when we stand before the king of kings and Lord of lords on the day of judgment.

God gave mankind the ability to not believe that he exists. It may be hard to fathom but everyone in hell will know for certain that Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. Before they arrive in the fiery pits of eternal suffering all mankind will stand before him on the Day of judgment.

Let the turmoil you see around you in the world today prompt your action to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Don't worry about whether the prophecies are being fulfilled in your presence. It may be soon or it may yet be a while, but Jesus is coming and you need to be ready!

Today, bow your knees in prayer so you will be ready to bow your knees in praise when you come before the throne of Jesus on that day.

“Thank You Jesus for coming to pay the price for my sins. And thank You for coming again to get me and take me home with You forever. Amen.”
