Lord give me your eyes for just one second. How doe we become born again to enter His kingdom?

Many people don't understand how simple it is to be saved. According to John 3:16 The Word of God makes it plain, simple & clear. Or is there more too it? So what does it mean when the Bible says that we must be born again? What if I think that I've fallen too far and God won't pick me up again? How do I pick up the pieces from a shattered past and turn around my life for Him? How do I ask for His forgiveness and what is repentance? What if I can't forgive myself or others don't want to forgive me? What should I do according to scripture? All these questions can be answered as to who enters the Kingdom and what you need to do on a personal level to be free from bondage of captivating sin. Why are so many churches agreeing with sin & adultery even in Leadership? I will address these any many more questions that you may have in the hours to come. I personally pray that if you are in error today that you ask Him in prayer to forgive you. I pray that you come to a Godly sorrow in repentance as to how you not only hurt and greeved the heart of God with your actions but also those perhaps closest to you. I pray that you will take the needed steps to ask them for forgiveness as well. The time is NOW as the hour draws closer to His return daily. Nobody knows the day nor the hour. Let Him completely transform your hardened wayward heart towards your first love again. May it be an agape love that can never be quenched again. May you be lead by the Holy Spirit to continue praying and seeking Him in truth. May you know that even pastors & leaders can give wrong council and hurt people. If they told people that remarriage is wrong if you have a living mate realize that all those people giving & serving would stop doing so and they would have no church. Many have fallen away because of great grief in the church. They will be held accountable at a greater level. Nothing I say is against God church as to how He intended it to be and that is pure without spot nor wrinkle. He wants people on fire for Him again speaking truth to set the captives yes in the church free again. There's been to much worldly compromise where christians look more like the world than Christ. We all need to be on bended knee again...its not just for some..its for ALL! I invite you to take a deeper walk with thee and dive in deep. Have a personal relationship which means taking responsibility for your own soul. May you be on fire for Him like never before. Anything you do for Him will be the only thing that has lasting value anyway. Its not about anything but Him and advancing His kingdom in love and truth. We've got once chance right now to get things right with Him. He wants us all as one body in this hour but in rightstanding. May you give & sell everything to the poor orphaned and widdowed. Read how you must be born again & see or ask how YOU can help this mission move forward. Its up to you!! May this year be the year of open eyes & may you see things in a different light all for His glory. May He I've you His eyes for just one second. God bless you!

Believe Stand strong & get back up again. Its never too late! If you are a single Mom or Dad I would love to help mentor you. I honestly had people in my pathway back in the day who knew more about divorces Than they did about staying together and working things out. I am not one of those people who agree with a divorce (unless its from a 2nd or3rd marriage called a non covenant). Then I would advise you to flee and run from the bondage & sin of on going Adultery. Yes, I said it. I can and would be more than happy to back it up in scripture. There is NO debate nor escape clause unless you are the one justifying the actions in sin. Many of your friends and mine are in grave error according to the Word of God. His truth stands the test of time. If you want complete freedom from bondage do complete turn around and simply go back home and ask your mate of your youth for forgiveness. Be sure that your 1st love is for God. Stop pleasing the world and begin new with the Lord and your OWN precious God given family. There is forgiveness at the Cross! Begin there!! Amen Know we are praying for you today. In His Service, Sharon Nichols

See Again!

Did you know that God desires to see us live a long good life? Many today believe that when a person dies, it was God's timing for them to die and that the fullness of their days have been lived out according to God's will. However, according to the Bible, God's will isn't always manifested here on earth as God desires it, and there is no guarantee that we will live out the fullness of our days. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. Proverbs 9:10-11 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Proverbs 3:1-2 And Yes, we can die before our time! Let me ask you this, when a person has an abortion, is that God's appointed time for that baby to die? When somebody commits suicide, is that God's appointed time for them to die? When somebody gets drunk, and kills an entire family, was that God's appointed time for them to die? Is it Biblical to "die before your time"? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? Ecclesiastes 7:17 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. Psalms 55:23 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured.

Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amos 9:10 In the NT, we learn that there are many people who get sick and die before their time, because of unworthily partaking in communion: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep [or have died]. 1 Corinthians 11:24-30 God's Word tells us that MANY have fallen into this trap. If many back then fell into it, what percentage of today's sicknesses and deaths also fall into this category? Can a person's sin and disobedience to God shorten their life? Yes! Untimely death is listed under the curses that we find in Deuteronomy 28: The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.... Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 28:21,61-62 I have never seen God's Word speak of Him using sickness or disease to call a righteous person home, but we do see just the opposite unfold in the above scripture, where sickness unto death is a curse. What is God's desire for those who fear Him and walk in His ways? A long and good life! Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:2-3 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalms 91:16 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Proverbs 3:13-16 I also believe that eating habits and exercise will also affect our body's ability to live a long and healthy life. The verse above speaks of wisdom lengthening our days, and I believe one area of our lives that we are supposed to exercise wisdom is in taking proper care of our bodies. In Jeremiah, we find a passage which tells us that God has good plans for us, and wants to give us an expected end. An expected end is nothing less than a long good life. Dying of cancer, or in a car accident, is not an expected end, it is rather an unexpected end. This is not God's will for us, according to this passage in Jeremiah: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalms 34:12-14 The above passage asks, "Who wants to live a long good life?" Then it goes on to tell us to keep our tongues from speaking evil, and to depart from evil. Lot's wife is a good example of somebody in the Bible who who died due to disobedience; she never lived out the fullness of her days. It was not God's will for her to die at that time, but her death was the result of her disobedience towards God. Another source of pre-mature death is a result of Satan's work of killing, stealing, and destroying that Jesus spoke of in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." When somebody is killed, it refers to the taking of a life prematurely (otherwise, murder would be justified in God's eyes, would it not?). God does not use Satan to kill His children, as a means to keep them from living beyond their appointed time. Jesus made it very clear who was behind the killing, and who had came to give life. By stating that every murder came at God's appointed time for that person to die, is to equate Jesus with the killing side of the equation of John 10:10. It is saying that God uses Satan's work in our lives to bring about His will, timing, and plans for us. If this were true of murder, then the same could be said of rape, stealing, etc. Suddenly, we find ourselves in a mindset that everything which happens here on earth is the will of God, which couldn't be further from the truth. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. Deuteronomy 5:33 There is one passage in scripture (see Job 7:1, 14:5, 14) that is used to support the concept that the days of our lives are appointed in such a way that we are not capable of dying before the fullness of our days have been lived out. However, when Job said that the days of our life are appointed, he also said other things during his foolish rant with God that I believe were merely Job's human understanding, and not divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. For example, in Job 6:4, he was basically saying that God's poisonous arrows and the terrors of the Almighty was upon him, when that was simply not the case at all. There were things Job said which were mere human wisdom being spoke of in a time of desperation and lack of understanding. To say that we cannot die before our appointed time, is saying that God uses murder, abortion, suicide, sicknesses resulting in death, demonic killings, unhealthy care of our bodies, drunkeness (resulting in deadly car accidents), and so forth, to fulfill His purposes in a person's life. It is saying, for example, that God appointed Billy to die on the day that he committed suicide or got drunk and drove into a phone pole. It is claiming that God appointed Billy to die at that time and that God's "good plans and expected end" for Billy was for him to commit suicide. Just because God wills something, does not mean it always happens. He desires all to be saved, and that none shall perish, and Jesus made all the provisions for all to be saved, but are all saved? No, not at all. God also wills that we live long good lives, but just because that is His desire, does not mean that it will always come to past. "But God used Lazarus' sickness unto death for God's glory!" Study and see the story for yourself. Please research how cancer is being demonically rooted, because the medical community is clueless as to what the root cause really is. Let me ask you this: if Jesus told us that Satan came to kill, how does Satan go about doing that? Think about this, we don't see demons with clubs beating people to death, but we do see people dying like flies from cancer. Does God use Satan to kill people as His way of "calling them home"? I believe that Jesus was telling us in John 10:10 that Satan's intent to kill refers to taking a life pre-maturely. Abortion is another one of Satan's ways of pre-maturely taking a person's life. Would we dare say that God was using that to call His children home? We wouldn't think of it! God's Word tells us that He has plans for us, plans to give us a hope and a future, and an expected end (see Jeremiah 29:11). Cancer is not an expected end. Abortion is not an expected end. An expected end is when a person has lived out the fullness of their days that God has given them to live. Are the good plans spoken of in Jeremiah 29:11 coming to past in everybody's life? Then what makes us think that the expected end part of that passage naturally comes true in everybody's life? It doesn't! Those are PLANS that God has for us, but just like the plan of salvation, we must play a vital part in seeing those plans fulfilled in our lives. Satan, of course, has plans to end our lives prematurely. Jesus told us in John 10:10 that the thief came to kill, steal, and destroy. How about being killed for His sake? Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20 Why does God allow us to be persecuted and even killed for His sake? Because He wants to reach the lost, and in order to do that, we're going to be persecuted. He already has our souls, so the moment we die, we are with him anyways. He wants to reach out in love to those who don't have Him as their Lord. Remember and re read John 3:16! I hope this gave you a clearer picture of the Big Picture and that you will read for yourself and find the answers to the questions you still have. God Bless your deeoer walk with the Lord. Seek His oeace and understandng. He loves you more that you could ever know. You were made perfectly by His design and so is your marriage. Every detail in your life He already knows about as He goes before you. Keep seeking and praying for the lost hurting abd brokenhearted. There are many even in church (some may even hide it very well due to fear or judgement). May they all be saved before He returns again soon. Are you ready? Ask for forgiveness and get right with the Lord today. Go back to where you once began with your wife or husband 0f your youth as well as your own God given family. They are waiting patiently for your return. The angels will be rejoicing un advance today on your behalf. Do not delay another moment and be the most couragious ever. Be unstoppable evem! Forgive me if there are typos...its been a long day. Study yourself approved daily. Time is short. Your sins are forgiven: If you aren't sure your sins are forgiven, you will be experiencing guilt, and a feeling of unworthiness to live in victory. The enemy moves right in on this weakness and fault in your belief system, and uses it against you. Guilt gives the enemy room to move in and make you feel worthless, and therefore he keeps you fighting from a defeated position. You must know that your sins are forgiven so the enemy won't hang guilt over your head! Look at Luke 7:47, where Jesus forgave that woman who lived a very sinful life, with no strings attached! Also look at other stories where Jesus said "Your sins are forgiven" with no strings attached. And Paul is another great example of how he was moved from a sinful lifestyle right into the kingdom of God without any strings or conditions attached! Recommended: The Bible The Word of God is the single greatest way to combat the lies and deceptions of the devil! A great book to help you realize who you are in Christ is Victory over Darkness.

The 3 Stages of Bondage- Our Churches and Body needs to get back in the game of teaching on these things in warfare now!

Three Stages of Bondage Stage One: Ignorance, strong holds and deception Stage Two: Legal rights are involved Unforgiveness Unconfessed sin Unholy soul ties Cursed objects Deuteronomy 7:26, "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing." Cursed objects such as idols, occult books, rings, etc. can bring a curse upon your life and your home. Land can also be cursed as a result of the sins of it's inhabitants (Leviticus 18:27). It is Biblical to burn occult or cursed objects. Deuteronomy 7:25, "The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire... for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God." It's also evident in the NT as well, Acts 19:19, "Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men..." Ezekiel 20:7, "Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God." Unholy vows: James 5:2, "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation." Any unholy vows you have made need to be repented of (Leviticus 5:4-6), and renounced (taken back) and broken in the name of Jesus. Spoken curses Your words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21), and if you have said something that has bound your soul (such as declaring, "I'll never amount to anything" or "I want to die"), then you should repent of it and take it back (renounce it out loud). Matthew 12:37, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Generational curses: The sins of your ancestors can also attribute to your spiritual bondages and troubles (Exodus 20:5). The remedy to break this, is to repent on behalf of your ancestors for their sins (Nehemiah 9:2), and to break any curses (in the name of Jesus) that may have come upon you as a result of their actions. Here are some great books on cleaning your home of cursed objects. Free at Last by Larry Huch is a great book on breaking free from generational curses. Seductions Exposed by Gary L., Dr. Greenwald is a great book on the transferring of spirits and soul ties. How to Cast out Demons by Doris Wagner is a great book at uncovering the legal roots of your spiritual problems and casting out demons. Breaking Generational Curses & Pulling Down Strongholds by Vito Rallo is another really good book to get ahold of. The Bait of Satan by John Bevere will show you the dangers of unforgiveness in the spiritual realm. There are many many more to select from. Try Amazon for a book list. Many books you can even get gently used or used at great prices. Study yourself approved quickly as the day is approaching more quickly. Stage Three: Demons must be driven out! Even after a demon's legal grounds have been removed, they often do not leave on their own. Some of the lesser demons may, but it's not that common for a stronger demon to pack up and leave on it's own. This is why Jesus made it clear that there is a need for the deliverance ministry (Mark 16:17). If demons automatically left a person when they accepted Jesus, then why did Jesus tell us to cast out demons? The solution to demonic bondages would instead be just to accept Jesus and the demons automatically leave. The problem is, it doesn't work like that in real life, and that's why we there are times when it's necessary to drive out demons. Jesus referred to the casting out of demons as children's bread, which means it's not even for un-believers, but for us believers. Prayer and fasting: Some demons are so strong that not only is it necessary to cast them out, but a higher then usual level of faith, which is only obtained through prayer and fasting, is required when getting them out. After the disciples tried to cast out a stronger demon(s) and were unsuccessful, Jesus told them that there are some demons that will come out by nothing by prayer and fasting (which builds one's faith to the high levels that is required when casting some demons out). Mark 9:29, "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Understand your authority: As children of God, we are given authority over all powers of the enemy. Binding and loosing: Binding is like spiritual handcuffing. It's temporary and it's very useful when a demon starts manifesting and you aren't ready to actually cast it out (let's say you are winding down a deliverance session and you need your sleep, and the demon(s) begin to manifest and raise their ugly heads). Or perhaps, the demon is interfering with the deliverance and it needs to be bound. Another good use of binding, is to bind the evil spirits that are preventing a person from accepting Jesus. Loosing is when a captive is loosed from something. For example, in Luke 13:12, Jesus loosed the women who was bound by Satan and had the issue of blood for 18 years. Know your enemy and study all you can. Be sure that you are prayed up! Identifying the demon by it's name when dealing with demons, which is why it is so helpful to know their name when dealing with them. Casting it out: Contrary to what many may think, there's nothing magical about this step. It's a matter of standing on your authority and commanding the evil spirit (by name if possible) to leave in the name of Jesus. Demon groupings: Often, demons will group, and there will be a strong man. The strong man could be hate, while the lesser demons could consist of anger, bitterness, jealousy, envy, etc. Sometimes it is better to cast out the strong man first, and therefore the lesser demons give you little or no hassle in wanting to leave, while other times it is better to get rid of the lesser demons first, and therefore the leader can no longer draw power from them and it makes it easier for the leader to be cast out. This is a more complicated area of deliverance, and is best led by the Holy Spirit. Always pray and ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance whenever attempting a deliverance. More great readings...Pigs in the Parlor by Frank & Ida Mae Hammond Don't you agree that there is so much more for christians to learn on these subjects? So much power is being lost because His people are not even hungry nor even knowing what any of this is about. Most are at about 3rd grade level. Those who are mature are serving and burned out because others simply remain powerless in the pews. They want the spoon feedings from the leadership (many who have fallen) and Pastors who are tired and weary. There is fire in the pews when people repent and turn away fleeing from all sin. Knowing what you know now I pray that you will dig deeper to go higher and not take your God given blessings for granted any longer. I pray that you will pray and be so hungry for truth and rightousness that when it comes to a pagan holiday you shall not partake. Instead you will flee in pray in a secret place that the Lord shall have your heart and speak to you with the volume turned up instead of turned off. If you know that your church is doing things in error do NOT partake but flee! He will hold everyone accountable which includes you. Question is what are you partaking that may be unholy and how long will you not SEE clearly? God wants you to see through his eyes and to be clean without spot nor wrinkle. He doesnt expect you to be perfect however he will keep you accountable come judgement day. So may today be your flee from sin day. All sin that you know about and may He show you the others that you need delverance from in this time and season. Amen

Lord open their eyes of their understanding as well as ours tonight. Includes Prayers in agreement

I always pray a wall of fire around my family almost daily to protect them from the evil one. I also pray that my Lord will open my family's spiritual eyes to see the power of God in their own lives. Do you? Will you from this point on? Ask the Lord and see what He wants to show you about your marriage! "Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place." 2 Chronicles 6:40 "When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. 'Oh, my lord, what shall we do?"' the servant asked." 2 Kings 6:15 "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his eyes so he may see."

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." Psalm 91:10-11 "....If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 "As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, 'Strike these people with blindness.'" 2 Kings 6:18 "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."

Zechariah 2:5 "Lord, open this faithful persons eyes to see what Your plan and future are really for their spouse and marriage and not against as the enemy would want them to believe. We pray right now in agreement that You will open their cov. spouse of their youth. That they no longer will call them a prodigal. May that wayward mate have new eyes to see the truth that will set them free from being a slave to their sinful lifestyle and help them to stop listening to the lies from the enemy. Even if they are in a non cov. union with another person. Lord you can send them HOME now in the name of Jesus because it is your will for these families to be reuited and stronger than ever before in Jesus mighty name. We also know that nothing is too hard for You Lord and this is just one more thing that you will do. Lord, help this new or old cov. stander to never give up and for them to continue to keep their eyes on You. May they never look to another stranger and not sway or settle for less that your best! May they only settle for a remarriage or re-vow to their 1st and only cov. mate that was bonded for life according to your image for marriage. Lord your are their first love and we can only take second place in thier life again. Lord strengthen them and not have them focus on their circumstances in this latter hour. Let them only know that everything is subject to your change with suddenlies and miracles. Lord, you are no respector of persons so please increase their faith, hope and trust in You daily or hourly if needed. Let them see your hand in this hour like never before and all for your glory and never their own. May they walk humbly before you and may they never bost nor brag that they ever did their own restorations. May they get their hands out of the mix and let the Holy Spirit do His work on both sides (in them and in the other person at the same time). And Lord if their is another person in their lives at this time please carelfully and gently remove them back to their 1st love or may they remain unmarried until your return. May we all repent of wrong doing and continue on doing your will and nver our own fleshly desires. May these mates and the people that they are involved with including their children and our children be saved and set apart. May the enemy never have another grip on our marriages nor our children nor our future. No weapon formed against us shall ever proper. May these other people go quietly without any trouble and seek a worldy divorce from the bonded in the 1st marriages mate. May they have the courage along with a deeper understanding that they may belong in your family now (after repentance, a Godly sorrow with personal salvation). But the conviction that they feel right now even after reading this (if they feel sick to their stomachs need a deep deliverance into your truth and your word again). May they never wish to blot out any scriptures in your Word again desiring to walk upright with you again Lord. Lord please let them know that they are loved by you and yet that you do not honor the sin that they are continue in. That you call adultery just that adultry and your word does not ever change. It is scriptual as you created man for one woman and one man for life and we call all of this that is pleasing to your will In the mighty name. May they read and underdtand the deliverance scripture postings and set not only themselves free but others as well until your return. In Jesus name we do pray Amen."

New Eyes To See Once I was Blind but now I can SEE! How our God sees us.

I will let you all look these scriptures up. Its good to be in the Word daily so the Lord can minister to you directley. You will grow leaps and bounds. Do a reverses seach to match up and study scripture. Iron sharpens iron. God's Word tells us that if we put Him first in our lives, he wants to give us the desires of our hearts and fill our barns (or financial blessings) to overflowing. Psalms 139:13-18 Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Psalms 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:6-7 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:9-11 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:7 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:28-31 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance [or wealth]; and I will fill their treasures. Proverbs 8:17-21 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalms 35:27 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psalms 34:10

Scripture Prayers for Cov. Marriage Restoration

Scripture Prayers for Cov. Marriage Restoration FOR ADULTRESS/ADULTERER IF NAME KNOWN: “Therefore I will hedge up (adulteress/adulterer name) way with thorns, and I will build a wall against (adulteress/adulterer name) so that he/she cannot find his/her paths. IF ADULTERESS/ADULTERER MARRIED ALSO, OR RECENTLY DIVORCED: Then (adulteress/adulterer name) will say, “I will go back to my wife/husband (Their spouses name if known). For it was better for me then than now!” Therefore I will allure (adulteress/adulterer name), bring him/her into the wilderness, and speak kindly to (adulteress/adulterer name), For I will remove the names of Baals from (adulteress/adulterer name) mouth. IF THEY HAVE SPOUSE OR EX AND YOU KNOW THEIR NAME: Then the Lord said to me (Their spouses name) “Go again, love (adulteress/adulterer name). “Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well (Spouses name). Should your (Spouses name) overflowing spring be scattered abroad as rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only your own (Spouses name) and not strangers' with you. Let your fountain(Spouses name) be blessed, and rejoice with the wife (Your name) of your youth. Like the loving deer and pleasant doe, let (Your name) breasts satisfy you (Spouses name) at all times, and (Spouses name) be ravished always with (Your name) love. Why will you, (Spouses name), be ravished with a strange woman (Adultress/Adulterer name if applicable), and embrace the bosom of a stranger(Adultress/Adulterer name if applicable)? Can a man (Spouses name) take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Or can a man (Spouses name) walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? So is one who goes in to his neighbors wife, (adultress/adulterers name if known). Whoever touches her (adultress/adulterers name if known), will not go unpunished. For the ways of a man (Spouses name) are before the eyes of the Lord. And He watches all his (Spouses name) paths. “(Spouses name) Remove your ways far from (adultress/adulterers name if known), and do not come near the door of (adultress/adulterers name if known) house, lest you (Spouses name) give your honor to others and your years to the cruel; that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your (Spouses name) labors be in the house of a stranger; and you (Spouses name) moan when your end comes, when your flesh and muscle are eaten away. For on account of a harlot (adultress/adulterers name if known) one is reduced to a loaf of bread, and an adultress (adultress/adulterers name if known) hunts for the precious life. He who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth. “Do not let your heart turn aside to (adultress/adulterers name if known) ways, for the heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes. Do not go astray in (adultress/adulterers name if known) paths. For (adultress/adulterers name if known) hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. (adultress/adulterers name if known) house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death. The mouth of the adulteress is a deep pit; he who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it. For a harlot is a deep pit, and an adulteress woman is a narrow well. The captive (Spouses name) exile hasteneth that he (Spouses name) may be loosed, and that he (Spouses name) should not die in the pit, nor that his (Spouses name) bread should fail. “The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who would destroy himself does it. Like a bird that wanders from his/her nest, so is a man/woman who wanders from his/her home. “This is the way of an adulteress woman (adultress/adulterers name if known) ; (adultress/adulterers name if known) eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have done no wrong.” For the lips of an adulteress (adultress/adulterers name if known) once dripped honey, and smoother than oil was (adultress/adulterers name if known) speech; But now in the end (adultress/adulterers name if known) is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword; (adultress/adulterers name if known) feet go down to death, and her steps to the underworld; (adultress/adulterers name if known) never keeps her mind on the road of life; (adultress/adulterers name if known) ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge. (adultress/adulterers name if known) is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house. “You adulteresses/adulterers (adultress/adulterers name if known), do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself/herself an enemy of God. Gen 3:15 I will make you (Spouses name) and the woman/man (adultress/adulterers name if known) hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. (Spouses name) will bruise (adultress/adulterers name if known) head, and (adultress/adulterers name if known) shall bruise (Spouses name) heel. And(Spouses name), do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. Now the body is not for fornication, ________ but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us _______by his own power. _______ Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall you _______ then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication ________. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that ________ your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own _______? For ye ________ are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. If your spouse is with another woman/man who is not a believer, pray this over them also. *This is also good to pray over separating them from ungodly friends or persons: 2Co 6:14 (Spouses name), Do not be unequally yoked together with the unbeliever (ow/om name if known) ; for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what partnership does light have with darkness? And what agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what part does you (Spouses name), a believer have with an unbeliever (ow/om names)? And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you, (Spouses name) are the temple of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore, (Spouses name) come out from among (ow/om name or the ungodly adultress, adulterer, friends) and be separated, says the Lord, and do not touch the unclean thing. And I will receive you and I will be a Father to you (Spouses name), and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. (Spouses name) is destroying every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and (Spouses name) is taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2Co 7:1 Because God, then, will give us such rewards, (Spouses name), let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God. 2Co 7:9 Now I am glad, not that you (Spouses name) had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours (Spouses name) was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything. For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death. “God gave us(Spouses name) a ministry of reconciliation, To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us (Spouses name) the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you (Spouses name) in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. “For God has said, Behold, I will throw her (Adulteress/Adulterers name) on a bed where she/he and those who committed adultery with her/him will suffer terribly. I will do this now unless they repent of the wicked things they did with her. Therefore confess your sins (Your names), to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effectual prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. For he who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner (Spouses name) who repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to repent. In the same way, I tell you, the angels of God rejoice over one sinner (Spouses name) who repents." I do not condemn you (Spouses name), go your way. From now on, sin no more. Prayer to Restore Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my cry, do not be silent at my tears. Put my tears in a bottle, are they not in Thy book? Since I am afflicted and needy, let the Lord be mindful of me. Thou art my help and deliverer. Do not delay, O my God." (From Psalms 56 and 40)Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. Hold them guilty, O God, by their own devices, let them fall! In the multitude of their transgression thrust them out for they are rebellious against Thee. Let them be appalled because of their shame. All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall suddenly be ashamed. Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon Thee. Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent. In Thee, O Lord, I have taken refuge. In Thy righteousness deliver me. (Psalms 7, 9 & 31) Though they intend evil against Thee, and devise a plot, they will not succeed. When my enemies turn back they stumble and perish before Thee. Thou hast blotted out their name forever and ever. The very memory of them has perished. Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more. And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there. But the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant properity. (From Psalm 21)"Thou dost surround the righteous with a shield. In peace I will both lie down and sleep. For Thou alone dost make me dwell in safety. Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and call upon Me in the day of trouble. I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me. (From Psalm 4) "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord. Be their shepard also and carry them forever. I would have despaired if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord. (From Psalm 27) "SATAN!! I bind you in Jesus' Name & by the power of His blood, and command you to flee (James 4:7)us, ____________ & ___________ and _________ and our marriage, in Jesus' Name!!" AMEN!!!!" I pray for healing from the works of the demons. I bind all remaining demons until they can be cast out or leave of their own accord in the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of His blood. I ask angels to be stationed on our ____________ & _________properties to guard us. I loose godly spirits from the Lord to operate in our, ____________ & _________ lives. Amen.

New Eyes

I am writing this tonight with only moments to spare before the midnight hour. Today my Cov Husband of my youth had eye corrective surgery. As I was heading for bed after a long day. I was pressed upon the Words NEW EYES to SEE! It was what I have been praying about since I had found out that he need this surgery. I know that he has like others including myself put off eye doctors and wearing glasses. Well sooner or later it catches up with us. We can only put it off for so long. The funny thing is...it ties in with me Blog page title tonight. So I can only PRAY that not only the Lord has heard our many prayers for him but also that He has answered more prayers. We are execting a complete turn around for Gods glory. God said it so that settles it! It is done!!! So please enjoy these next few postings and I can only pray that it encourages you to stand a bit stronger until you too see the manaifestaion of your miracles for your cov. marriage of your youth. Only He gets the glory! Amen God bless each and every one of you as you read and pray for your mate or someone else you know who needs New eyes in this hour. Dont EVER GIVE UP!! If you are close to doing so PLEASE inbox me on FB or contact me via email. I will pray for you personally and stand in the gap for your loved ones as well. He will answer in His timeframe! Amen Just BELIEVE and TRUST AGAIN at a deeper level! New Eyes by Ed Chinn Obviously, there are many levels and dimensions of sight. For example, my cat will lie in my lap when I am reading. He sees the black marks on the white page, but he doesn't see what I see. I may step into the cockpit of a 747, but I would have no greater understanding of the vast electronic panels than my cat has of the written page. "What do you see?" is one of the life's most important questions. The actual physiology of sight – light passing through the cornea, pupil and lens and then striking the retina – is only a small part of how we see. We cannot interpret the light and patterns of our environment without the symphony of all our faculties. Everything we see passes through the filters of our life experiences, emotional and physical health, beliefs, fears, yearnings, education, special training and attitudes. That is why various people can look at anything – a computer chip, an explosion or a baby sonogram – and have vastly different interpretations of what they see. Was Blind, but Now I See John Newton's timeless hymn, "Amazing Grace," contains one of the greatest and most famous lyrical lines in history: "was blind, but now I see." Those six simple words describe the mysterious transforming power of God's revealed truth. That is what happens when God's revelation brings a new way of seeing. By comparison, we can only honestly say "I was blind." That "blindness to sight" process might arrive through illness, injury, grief or even exterior phenomena – like being struck by lightning or taking a bullet in the brain. Whatever the catalyst, from that moment on people see life differently. It is like finding "Superman" eyes; they can see right through various distractions or issues and bore into truth which remains hidden to others. I recently endured my own was-blind-but now-I-see experience. When it was over, I saw my wife through new eyes. God's "eye surgery" lasted about two hours in the pre-dawn darkness of March 6, 2008. After my wife Joanne's long and very serious illness, I became certain that she was dying. Based on what I knew, I became convinced that she was slipping into the last stages of organ failure. Because of my certainty of her imminent death – which, thank God, was an illusion – the way I viewed her passed through a radical transformation. And, the way I viewed myself experienced even greater change; I saw clearly how I had failed to cherish, support, and nurture her as God intended. Although we have a wonderful marriage, God pulled me up to a much higher standard of maleness, fatherhood and "husbandry" – His! Obviously, I had to repent. The Higher View God's eye surgery not only changed the way I see and relate to my wife, but it also raised another "what do you see" issue: Why can we not see people as they really are before they die? Our view of the living – friends, family, neighbors, and even public figures – always seems to be a mixed bag of thoughts and judgments. But, the moment they die, our view of them – as revealed in funerals – becomes profoundly gracious and much higher. So, is it possible to ascend to that higher view before they die? Perhaps the larger question is how do we find the higher view – or "new eyes" – on life in general? In Isaiah 55:9, God said, "as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways…" Very often, what we see is a matter of elevation. When we get tangled in the underbrush of deep valleys we end up feeling threatened or overwhelmed by very small issues. I am always amazed at how different everything looks simply by climbing to higher ground – physically, spiritually, relationally, emotionally and in many other ways. And, that is true regardless of the specific issues. For example, many Christians feel threatened by political and social issues. Of course, we should be civic-minded, responsible and prayerful. But, we should always approach the public arena from a victorious position, not a fearful or despairing one. After all, the ultimate outcome is not tentative or fragile. In fact, the Psalmist said that God sits in the heavens, "laughing" at the futile strategies against Him and His people! (Psalms 2: 1 – 4) Part of the reason He laughs is that He is sitting in a high and unassailable place. And, He invites us to sit there with Him. In the series which follows, we will examine together some of the crucial areas and challenges of life. We will look at things like our own familial relationships – spouses, parents, children, siblings, co-workers and neighbors. We will examine ways to view our own heritage – even the uncle who was a horse thief – in a more positive way. And, yes, we will look at how to victoriously navigate the political and social issues of our time. When we're finished, you may not be able to see oil underground, but perhaps you will see the buried treasure lying just below the surface of your life. Copyright 2008 Ed Chinn. Used with permission.

Referemce Used http://www.focusonthefamily.com/faith/spiritual_development/new_eyes.aspx PLEASE as a Sidenote I do not endorse nor agree with everythig that Focus On The Family puts out there for Christians now. Sadly you can see how the culture has changed the church instead of the Church changing the culture. Biblical standards with Marriage and Remarriage AFTER on of the mates passes is still Biblical. Gods Word does NOT changer nor waver. Its the same yesterday today and forever. You cant change His truth nor matter how hard you try to water down messages. When it comes to blended familys the Biblical truthful view as Christ would see it is IF and when one of the mates is no longer living. The proof is in His Written Word with no exception clauses. Amen
