MOMENT OF RE INSTALLATION.
Do you know what's bothering your spouse? Do you know the root of their frustration? Do you know what they just can't let go of? And most importantly, do you know how to draw it out and how to help them finally heal?
This is one of the many issues, I'll want you to evaluate, and invite God into te matter.
Most people have something that continues to bother them, something that happened years ago that they never let go of, something that they never "moved through" with their spouse.
And there it sits; getting heavier and heavier as the years go by. Until finally it comes out as, "I'm not happy" or "I want a divorce" or "I don't love you anymore."
This little foxes spoil the great vineyard / garden that the Lord gave us to tend.
Any marriage going trough difficult challenges or at the verge of collapse, O Lord be involved in the affairs of the couples in Jesus name.

GOD GRANTS THE DESIRE OF THE RIGHTEOUS
GOD GRANTS THE DESIRE OF THE RIGHTEOUS
Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
2 Samuel 7:19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
Psalms 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Proverbs 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
A little boy wanted $100 very badly. He prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. So, he decided to write a letter to God requesting $100.
When the postal authorities received the letter to "God, USA", they decided to send it to the President.
The President was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5 bill. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5 bill, and sat down to write a thank-you note to God. The postal authorities forwarded this letter on to the President, too.
It read:
"Dear God, Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington, D.C., and those guys deducted $95 in taxes!"
It's a funny story but what we can learn from this is...
...sometimes when God answers your prayer it will not be exactly as you wanted it to be.
But you just have to trust. Trust that God's answer to your prayer is the best for you.
Yes, sometimes it seems that God doesn't make sense but remember in Isaiah 55:8-9 it says...His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. His ways are higher than our ways.
That's why it's important to keep His Word to your heart and mind through scripture meditation.
You become a stronger Christian. You start to trust God more and more each day.

WHEN TIME RUN OUT ON YOU
WHEN TIME RUN OUT ON YOU
Roger Staubach who led the Dallas Cowboys to the World Championship in '71 admitted that his position as a quarterback who didn't call his own signals was a source of trial for him.
Coach Landry sent in every play. He told Roger when to pass, when to run and only in emergency situations could he change the play (and he had better be right!).
Even though Roger considered coach Landry to have a "genius mind"when it came to football strategy, pride said that he should be able to run his own team.
Roger later said, "I faced up to the issue of obedience. Once I learned to obey there was harmony, fulfillment, and victory."
The point of the story is simple.
And that is in our relationship with God, it requires full submission and obedience.
If God is convicting you to do something or to get rid of sins or habits...just do it.
Like in our story, once you learned to obey, that's the only time you'll experience harmony, fulfillment, and victory in your life.
Now, if God is convicting you to meditate His Words, start with just one verse and grow from there.
Studying and meditating the scripture is a habit that will strengthen you spiritually and gives you the power to resist temptation of the devil.
So take the time now and... don’t allow time to run out on you.

THE WONDERS OF GOD’S WORD
THE WONDERS OF GOD’S WORD
Psalms 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
Proverbs 13:13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
2Timothy 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(KJV)
A man in Kansas City was severely injured in an explosion.
Evangelist Robert L. Sumner tells about him in his book The Wonders of the Word of God.
The victim's face was badly disfigured, and he lost his eyesight as well as both hands.
He was just a new Christian, and one of his greatest disappointments was that he could no longer read the Bible.
Then he heard about a lady in England who read Braille with her lips. Hoping to do the same, he sent for some books of the Bible in Braille.
Much to his dismay, however, he discovered that the nerve endings in his lips had been destroyed by the explosion.
One day, as he brought one of the Braille pages to his lips, his tongue happened to touch a few of the raised characters and he could feel them.
Like a flash he thought, I can read the Bible using my tongue. At the time Robert Sumner wrote his book, the man had "read" through the entire Bible four times.
How many of you can say you've read through the Bible four times--with two good eyes? This man had a craving--and even losing his eyesight wouldn't prevent him from reading God's Word.
So don't let laziness or procrastination prevent you from reading and meditating God's Word.
Be a "no-excuse" Christian and start studying scriptures starting from today.

ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE?
ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE?
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
What a sad comment it is on human nature, that although the Church prayed for Peter’s miraculous deliverance, they seemed unable to believe it when God brought it about in fact.
Peter appeared to have more trouble getting into the prayer meeting than he did in getting out of prison! How ready are you for a miracle?
