Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”

Do you remember what you dreamt of becoming when you grew up? While I went to college to become a school teacher, I fell in love with words after finally learning to read in the third grade. Yes, I will forever be grateful to those saintly elementary school teachers: Mrs. Mikus, Mrs. Day, Mrs. King, Miss Roosa, and Mrs. Thomas, who had such patience, believing I would eventually catch on.
Fast-forward just a few years as I continue to develop my craft through this website. While I definitely need my treasured technical assistant, I am honored God is allowing me to use my writing to encourage others in their relationship with the Lord.
And while my website may currently seem to be little more than a blog filled with posts, I view it as the beginning stages of a ministry filled with dreams and visions, with plans to develop into so, so much more, all for the glory of God.
I so appreciate you, my dear readers, for not only reading what I write, but taking the time to comment. “Buy Me a Coffee” is simply another way to express your appreciation for the encouragement, insight, and wisdom I am blessed by God to share. So consider buying me a cup of coffee, or two or three, and become a supporter of something way bigger than all of us. I am already most grateful!

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) even before God whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not, as though they were.
Which Abraham above hope, believed under hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seed be.”
~~~Romans 4:17-18 (GNV)~~~
Our faith in God allows us to reveal His supernatural blessings, bringing them into the natural realm. We must have faith. We must choose to believe, for our hope is our faith in God in action.

Listening to “Conversations With John & Lisa Bevere” as they discuss the topic of “Building a Marriage That Lasts (part 1)”, is well suited for any couple who desires to have a loving, fulfilling, enriching,… and long-term relationship. This particular podcast includes John & Lisa answering questions concerning such topics as prenuptial agreements and who should lead and when.
Standing for marriage as I am honored and blessed by God to be called to do, I have come to realize just how much finger pointing I was guilty of and how often I should have been pointing my finger at myself and not at my wonderful husband. For this I have and will continue to ask forgiveness.
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
~~~Matthew 7:3 (KJV)~~~
“…marriage is precious to God. He is the one that authored it. And He said He is the author and finisher of our faith. Don’t give up because nothing is impossible with God. I don’t care how hopeless your situation seems, through prayer, through crying out to God, through reading His Word, anything, anything can be mended and not only mended, but made stronger than it’s ever been before” John Bevere.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

“Your sins were forgiven when you got born again. God is not holding your sins against you. The only thing that is holding up the answer to your prayer is our unbelief because we feel so unworthy. We are empowering the devil. We are allowing our conscience to condemn us. And we don’t have the confidence and the courage and the authority that God has bought for us through Jesus. And we are approaching Him like a lost man that doesn’t have a savior.
We pray in the name of Jesus, but the truth is we actually believe that it’s going to be according to our goodness. And so all somebody’s got to do is say ‘Hey, you’ve committed sin. You haven’t studied the Word the way that you should. What makes you think you’re worthy?’ And all of a sudden your total confidence just crumbles because your faith wasn’t in God, it was in you.
If you pray and use the name of Jesus properly, what you’re saying is ‘Father, not because of who I am, but in Jesus’ name. I expect to receive because of Jesus’. You know the scripture says ‘Agree with your adversary quickly while you’re in the way.’ And there’s multiple ways of applying that, but one of the ways I apply it is when the devil comes and says ‘you aren’t worthy. What makes you think God would use you?’
Instead of me trying to justify myself and say ‘wait a minute, I’ve studied the Word more than I ever have, I’ve been praying, I’ve studied, I’ve fasted, I…’ The moment you start justifying yourself and trying to make yourself worthy, Satan has won because you may be better than you were, you might be better than I am, but you have come short of the glory of God and you do not deserve any answers to prayer based on your goodness.
The right way to respond is when your enemy comes and condemns you, agree with your adversary and say ‘you know what, you’re right. I don’t deserve anything. I think I’ll pray in the name of Jesus. And I’ll get it through who Jesus is. I’ll get it on the basis of His righteousness. I’m standing holy not because I am holy in myself, but because I am born again righteous and holy’.
See that’s using the name of Jesus properly, but if you say ‘in the name of Jesus’ but you’re saying ‘God, I’m worthy, God, I’ve prayed, I’ve done more than ever before, now will You move?’ You have just used the name of Jesus in vain. You aren’t trusting in Jesus, you’re trusting in yourself and you’re taking the name of Jesus in vain” Andrew Wommack.
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations”.
~~~Psalm 100 (KJV)~~~

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.”

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
~~~1 Corinthians 13 (ESV)~~~
