WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

What does Jesus Christ See?~A poem~Author unknown



WHAT DOES JESUS SEE ?
(A poem...)

When Jesus looks upon my life,
What picture does He see.

Does He see His own reflection,
Or does He just see me.

Does He see His likeness,
The product of His hand.

Or just another Christian,
Who never took a stand.

Does He see a child of God,
A child that He set free.

Living life to honor Him,
Or does He just see me.

What about the other folks,
I meet along the way.

Do I show them Jesus,
To brighten up their day.

When someone looks into my eyes,
Can they truly see.

That calm and gentle peace of God,
That dwells inside of me.

When I reach out and shake a hand,
Is He right there in my grip.

Can they feel that strength from God,
That steadies when I slip.

When folks are in my presence,
Do they know His Spirit's there.

Can they see that He's the One,
Who guides me everywhere.

When other people think of me,
What is on their mind.

Do they think of Jesus Christ,
So gentle and so kind.

I try to be like Jesus,
Every single day.

Spreading love and kindness,
All along my way.

I'm afraid that I have failed,
I could not pass the test.

Deep inside my heart I know,
I haven't done my best.

I have had to fight my flesh,
Since the day that I was born.

It's always causing trouble,
And being such a thorn.

That's why His Spirit dwells in me,
He's helping me to learn.

In every situation,
Where I need to turn.

He knew I'd never pass the test,
That's why He took my place.

He gave His life to save my soul,
He suffered my disgrace.

Now I try to be like Him,
I must present Him well.

So other folks will want His gift,
And turn their backs on hell.

Other folks should see the joy,
That Christ has given me.

They should want to have it too,
Especially since it's free.

They should begin to ask me,
What is it they must do.

Just how it is they go about,
Getting Jesus, too.

Then I get to tell them,
This wondrous gift is free.

It only takes a humble heart,
A prayer on bended knee.

Someday when I'm face to face,
With the Lord who set me free.

Will He see His own reflection,
Or will He just see me...
~Unknown~

A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY
Every day I need you Lord
But this day especially,
I need some extra strength
To face what ever is to be.

This day more than any day
I need to feel you near,
To fortify my courage
And to overcome my fear.

By myself, I cannot meet
The challenge of the hour,
There are times when humans help,
But we need a higher power

To assist us bear what must be borne,
and so dear Lord, I pray -
Hold on to my trembling hand
And be near me today...

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.....


Hi...
God wants the YOUTH to Know Him and taste His love when they are young.
Psalm 34:8
"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."That's why the Word of God says in..
Ecclesiastes 12:1
"Remember your Creator
       in the days of your youth,
       before the days of trouble come
       and the years approach when you will say,
       "I find no pleasure in them".
All you youth and young at heart the Lord wants to be your 1st love, He wants to be the Lord of your life because only HE can help you to fight and resist the temptations you face in your daily life.
If you are His child know that...your body is the "Temple of the Holy Spirit"
1 Corinthians 6:19,
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;"
Your heart belongs to Jesus. He has paid an infinite price for your soul.
He loves you with an everlasting love.
A young heart is a Precious offering to the Lord, the most valuable gift that can be presented to our Savior.
Is there anyone out there (I mean young people) who still do not know Jesus as your personal Savior??
Go to Him as you are, give your heart to Jesus. He will wash you with His Precious Blood. As you confess your sins, repent, He will cleanse you of all your past sins.
He will write your name in the Book of Life.
You will receive Eternal Life.

JESUS WANTS YOU TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM.
He will help you walk the Narrow Path. Just cling on to Him.
Today He wants to Raise the standard of Holiness in your life.
Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He wants you to be the Light and shine out for JESUS.
Satan too wrestles hard for an young heart. He wants to catch them young...Jesus knows that and wants to help beat the enemy's temptations and so says...
"Remember your Creator
       in the days of your youth."
Stay Blessed,
YSIC,
Julia

HOW MUCH DOES PRAYER WEIGH ?(A touching story...)


HOW MUCH DOES PRAYER WEIGH ?
(A touching story...)

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food. John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can."

John told her he could not give her credit, as she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer man that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

The grocer man said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?
Louise replied "Yes sir"

"O.K." he said, put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries."

Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed. The eyes of the grocer man and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.

The grocer man staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, "I can't believe it." The customer smiled and the grocer man started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more. The grocer man stood there in utter disgust.

Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement. It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer which said: "Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands."

The grocer man gave her the groceries that he had gathered and placed on the scales and stood in stunned silence. Louise thanked him and left the store.

The customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to John as he said, "It was worth every penny of it."

It was sometime later that John Longhouse discovered the scales were broken; therefore, only God knows how much a prayer weighs !

Faith. of a Child.....~Heart Warmer(Compiled)

FAITH is... expecting God to accomplish miracles through insignificant ME with my five loaves and two fishes...

" FAITH is... resting in His love, His presence, His provision."

FAITH is... confidence in God's faithfulness to me in an uncertain world, on an uncharted course, toward an unknown future."

" Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God."

" Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."
(Henry Ward Beecher)

" Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch."
(Ramona C. Carroll)
" FAITH OF A CHILD "
(Miracles Do Happen...)
A Heart Warmer

Tess was a eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn't have the money for the doctor bills and our house.
Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money.

She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a small box from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.
Three times, even.
The total had to be exactly perfect.
No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the box, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the drug store.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was busy talking to another man and couldn't be bothered by an eight year old at this moment.
Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise.
Nothing ... she cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster.
No good ... Finally she took a quarter from her box and banged it on the glass counter.
That did it!

"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages." he said, without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother."
Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone.
"He's really, really sick ... and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you." the pharmacist said, softening a little.
"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."

The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"

"I don't know." Tess replied with eyes filled with tears. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money."

"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.
"One dollar and eleven cents." Tess answered. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

"Well, what a coincidence." smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents - the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her hand and said , "Take me to where you live.
 I want to see your brother and meet your parents.
Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."

That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong. a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery.
The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.

"That surgery", her Mom whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little child !!!
When I recall the blessings
God has scattered all along the way,
The unexpected little joys
That form the fiber of each day,

When I remember lovely things
That turn the greyest skies to blue,
A ray of sunlight seems to fall
Among the hills I wander through.

When my fumbling fingers find,
Despite all the wisdom and wit,
That many of the pieces of
Life's puzzle do not seem to fit,

He has a way of sorting out
The interlocking shapes for me,
Until the pattern falls in place,
Aligned in perfect symmetry.

And so it is forevermore,
And I must trust His guiding hand,
His wondrous ways that reach beyond
All I can hope to understand.

The instances of faith restored,
Of hope renewed and love received,
Are all that is required for one
Who has not seen and yet believed !
" Life Is Short, Eternity Isn't ! "

" Don't judge a life by one difficult season ! "

" Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

" Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

" God knows you. He keeps your tears in a bottle. He knows your needs. He is always near you in times of trouble, sorrow, and pain."

" The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."
(Psalm 121:8 NLT)

" Your past you cannot change , but your response to your past you can."

" Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. " (Joshua J. Marine)

" God's love for us is not a love that always exempts us from trials, but rather, a love that always sees us through trials."

" Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
(Isaiah 40:31 NIV)

" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
(Hebrews 11:1 KJV)

" But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently."
(Romans 8:25 NLT)

" This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
 (Psalm 118:24 NIV)

" Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in HEAVEN."
 ( Matthew 5:12)

" Our citizenship is in HEAVEN, from which we also eagerly wait for
 a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3:20)

DELIVERANCE FROM L.U.S.T. Lucifer’s Ultimate Sin Trap (By:BRIDE OF CHRIST STANDING IN THE GAP MINISTRIES)

DELIVERANCE FROM LUST

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity,
or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. (Eph. 5:3 NIV)


Father,

I come boldly before Your throne of grace and mercy to find help and strength my time of need. Lord Your word says to watch and pray so that we will not enter into temptation, for we know that the spirit is willing, but Father my flesh is weak.

Lord, I submit myself to You, for Your word says that if we submit ourselves unto You, that we could resist the enemy and he would flee from us. Lord I am fully submitted to You, all that I am, all that I ever hope to be. I surrender unto You.

Father, I am weak but thou art strong, I know in my weakness You are made strong. I know that my strength is not in my will to withstand the devil and his many temptations, but my faith, my strength, my hope is in You. Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I cast down every wicked, lustful, lascivious, and unclean thought of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I refuse to allow any thoughts of the enemy to enter in; I dismiss them from me in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report, and I pray that You will not allow my mind to wander into idleness, but to stay upon the name of Jesus.

Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirit that was trying to confuse me. I thank You for not allowing me to be drawn away by his words of flattery, his lustful eyes, or his gifts of deceit. I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence. So Father, please help me to guard my heart by the words that I speak.

Father, I pray that You will place upon me the whole amour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the tricks of the enemy. I pray that You will lead and deliver me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil.

In the name of Jesus, I take authority over Satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places. I bind them up in the name of Jesus Christ and render them helpless from operating in my life. In the name of Jesus I bind and cast off ever spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life. Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice, and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God and a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ covers me.

Satan, in the name of Jesus, every stronghold, You have tried to bring against me has been rendered helpless, powerless and ineffective to operate in my life, by the authority of Jesus Christ! I put off all forms of lust and put on the new nature of righteousness, purity, and honesty. Jesus has defeated satan in my life, and now you are under my feet, and your power of lust and sin is broken in my life.

Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer, and delivering me from the tricks of the enemy. I thank You for Your word and how it is established in my heart and in my life. I thank You for giving me power over the enemy, I thank You for strengthening me so that I will not defile my body, and that it will be a temple for the Holy Spirit. Thank You Lord, for restoring me, for cleansing me, and for forgiving me for my weakness. I praise You; I give You all the glory and say Hallelujah to the name of Jesus.

In JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH name Amen

BRIDE OF CHRIST STANDING IN THE GAP MINISTRIES,,

Pleading the Blood of Jesus Christ

 
Father, I come in the name of Jesus to plead His blood on my life and on all that belongs to me, and on all over which You have made me a steward.
I plead the blood of Jesus on the portals of my mind, my body (the temple of the Holy Spirit), my emotions, and my will. I believe that I am protected by the blood of the Lamb which gives me access to the Holy of Holies.
I plead the blood on my children, on my grandchildren and their children, and on all those whom You have given me in this life.
I plead the blood over my family and my friends, online and offline, I ask that you please hold close all that is dear to you and to me and to make known the manifestation of your spirit in both. I ask dear Lord that you allow us the discernment to fight the devil and to stand victoriously alongside you as we do so, forever armored in your truth, your righteousness and your justice.
Lord, You have said that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Thank You for this blood that has cleansed me from sin and sealed the New Covenant of which I am a partaker.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
 Based on a prayer written by Joyce Meyer in The Word, the Name and the Blood (Tulsa: Harrison House, 1995).

~PREDATORS~ (Posted by Sunny)


~PREDATORS~ (Posted by Sunny)
We all get repulsed at the thought of someone who touches or has sex with a child ...perverts we call them...be real you know it's true. There are many different sorts of predators out in the world, and many that exist right here on cyberland. There are men and women who come on here pretending to be something they are not, who play on the weaknesses of each other, the emotional shortages that we lack in our lives. Does the fact that its all done without physical contact make it any less perverted than the sick people who prey on the weak out in the real world? I think not and are the ones who find themselves falling victim to these sick individuals in the same category?
There are many people who suffer from emotional unhealthiness, from lonliness, from pains of this world that make them emotionally crippled.
 Is a person that takes advantage of anothers weakness, be it physical or emotional, an animal of a whole other sort simply because its only words? 
We speak often of the power of our words. How they can bring down or lift up, do we truly understand what that means? Be careful on here...there are so many people who come in the name of Christ who can without a conscience, do things unimaginable just because they have nothing better to do than be a sick individual.
Can you imagine how they must laugh behind the backs of those who fall prey to them? God does see these people, the Bible says that God will pay with tribulation those who hurt His children. They may not see their retribution in this lifetime, but they will in the next.
I'm sickened by these people, they are no more better than the sick individuals who lure children in for sex by earning their trust. They are no less sick than the gawkers of pornography or the soliciters of prostitutes, in fact thats what they are, cyber prostitutes, having their way with people simply because thats how they get their kicks. 
Prostituting themselves out...... 
Well remember this...God sees all...
 He knows your heart and if in your heart you can justifiy what you are doing,
He sees that too. We all make mistakes, we all do things that are wrong, we are all guilty...but you make up for your mistakes, you make changes, you let God do what He has to do inside you. But you people who are predators, you people out there that play on the emotions of others, in the name of what.....you are murderers of a different sort.
You murder the spirit of an individual, you kill what they believe about faith and trust.
About love. You offer things that you have no intention of giving,.....you are of the devil. Play while you can......your time is coming...you will stand before Almighty God and you will answer the question He asks of you...how you gonna answer to that one?

Father I pray those who have fallen victim to the malicious and deceptive ways of the enemy..how they come in sheeps clothing, offering kindness and more...giving and taking, leaving in the wake a slew of shattered hearts and grime....
Vengence is mine saith the Lord....

DO YOU REAP what YOU SOW?? YEPPERS YOU DO !~copyright@2007 john chappell



  From another ministry..

Pastor Owen


Why do Bad Things Happen to Us?

do ya reap what ya sow?? yeppers ya do !

"The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10)."

"As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come . . . Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Proverbs 26:2, Galatians 6:7-7)."


We Reap What We Sow

In the world this is known as "cause and effect." There is a reason or cause for everything that happens, whether good or bad.  
 We reap what we sow—either good or bad. 

Satan is looking for an open door through which to bring sicknesses, accidents, and other trials into our lives.
He can do us no harm without an opening.
Let's find these open doors and close them.
Is it our Sin That Opens the Door for Satan to put Sickness, accidents, financial challenges, and other trials upon us and even our children?
If it is sin, Lord, we surely want to know!
Let's See What The Bible Says About Sin 

"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah 59:2)."

"Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted (Psalms 107:17)."

"Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death (James 1:15)."

" . . . For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. . . For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God (Romans 6, 13, 14)."

"For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life (Galatians 6:8)."

Jesus said, "For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death (Matthew 15:4)." 

Wow! We had better forgive and honor our parents!

"For the wages of sin is death (and sickness), but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23)."

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are . . . He that committeth fornication (or adultery) sinneth against his own body (ICorinthians 3:17, and 6:18-19)."

 This also includes pornography in all of its forms!
According to the above scriptures (and many others) it is because of sin that sickness, accidents and/or death come to us and/or our loved ones.
It opens the door for Satan to attack us! Attempting to deny our sins imprisons us in them. We must repent for each of them.
To be fully protected from the result of sin, each of us must search our hearts and repent of every sin the holy spirit brings to our mind, particularly the ones below



1. The Sin of not putting God first (Lukewarmness).

This is the root of many of these other sins. Let's each of us search our hearts and repent.
Signs of lukewarmness:
a) No daily prayer or quiet time with the Lord
b) Not studying and meditating on the Word of God c) Failing to pay your tithes and to give generous offerings)
c) Wrong priorities: Is our focus on prayer, the Word, church, and God's desires, or on television, sports, the newspaper, making money, and mostly our desires.
d) Do we love our children, our spouse, money or other things more than God. This is known as the sin of Idolatry.



2. The Sin of unforgiveness.

Do you deeply resent, even hate someone or do you still feel deeply wounded by someone who has hurt you, disappointed you, or rejected you?
Most of us do!
Make a list of them now, forgive them and let the resentments go.
 You can do it.
We must do it to be healed and/or to stay healed. We need to repent of the sins of unrealistic expectations of ourselves, our loved ones, our friends, and "yes", our pastor and other church leaders.



3 The sin of self-rejection or self-hatred.

You must love yourself.
It is God's command!
This is a major root cause of auto-immune diseases, including Arthritis, Lupus, Krone's disease, and MS.



4 The sins of grumbling, complaining, critical and negative words or thoughts.

 We complain because we don't believe God's promises to us.

"There is death (physical, emotional, spiritual and financial death) and life in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)."

Complaining can be deeply hidden.
A complaining or critical spirit opens the door for Satan to attack us in many areas. 
Thousands of the Israelites were destroyed in the wilderness because of complaining. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart. Print from my web site, "You Can Overcome Depression, Fear, Anger and Stress in Twenty-One Days.



5. The sin of sexual lust.

Impure sexual thoughts, words, and/or actions are counterfeits of the holiness of marital sex, and are major sins in the Body of Christ. The marriage bed is holy. It is anointed and godly to have a fulfilling passionate sexual oneness in marriage, but outside of marriage sex is a death-sickness producing sin—even in out thought-life!
6 The sin of not paying our tithes (10%) and not giving generous Holy Spirit directed offerings.
See Malachi 3:8-11. This "sin" opens the door to the next sin.



7 .The sins of lusting for money and power (control), including all forms of lying, stealing, cheating (such as on our income tax), and even over-spending!

"For the love of money is the root of all evil ... (1 Titus 6:10)."

The sins of the love of money and power intertwine negatively with sexual lust!



8 The sins of procrastination, disobedience, and rebellion.




9 Sins of unbelief.

1) Never pray, "If it be His will, God will heal me, protect me, or meet my financial needs."
It is His will.
2) Stating that God is "going to heal me" is future tense and is therefore hope not faith.
Faith is not next month, next week or even tomorrow. Faith is now. Faith looks back at the cross, and brings the healing or other promises into the "now." Boldly confess,
"By JESUS' stripes I am healed."
We must confess that we are already healed, not that "I am going to be healed." 



10 The sin of all forms of gambling, including lotteries.!!




11 The sins of poor eating (and drinking habits) habits, including overeating, alcohol, drugs, smoking, and other addictive sins, and lack of adequate exercise.




12 The sin of dishonoring our parents.

 Jesus confirmed the importance of this in

Matthew 15:4, "For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death."

This dishonoring can be from unrepented criticism of your parent(s) as a child or in later life.
 It can be from withholding love or other forms of godly support.



13 The sin of dishonoring our Marriage Partner.

"Ye husbands ... give honor unto the woman ... that your prayers be not hindered (1 Peter 3:7)."

How do we honor our wives?
The Word tells us in

Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it."

We must "lay down" our pride and selfishness and be servant-leaders in our relationship with our wives. We must avoid all forms of abuse, verbal, mental, financial, and sexual. We must love and protect her. The wife must show respect and have a submissive attitude in connection with her husband's headship.



14 Generational sins.

First we must repent deeply for our own sins!
Then deeply forgive one's mother and dad.
 Next in Jesus Name renounce and repent for the generational sins with great authority.
 See yourself behind the cross and your four generations in front of the cross.
Thank Jesus for taking the curses upon Himself. Confess the sins of your family line (unto the third and fourth generation), and ask God to forgive them.



15 Sins of Omission, including not doing adequate spiritual warfare to protect ourselves and our loved ones. "Pleading the Blood" of Jesus means to appropriate, apply, declare, proclaim, and put our trust in the completed work of His shed Blood.

However you decide to "word it," let's "plead the blood of Jesus" over all of our family members at least twice a day (and let's do it from the Third Heaven, "seated in heavenly places in Christ").



16 Through Television, movies, and the internet, evil spirits of sexual lust, perversion, violence, greed, dishonesty, and even witchcraft can enter our home, us, and our loved ones!

Allowing this is a major sin that needs to be repented of.
Repentance is more than asking for God's forgiveness.
It includes changing our habits and our thinking. It is a major key to prosperity in every area of our lives, including protection for us and our family, our healing, our finances, and for our spiritual growth. God's plan for our lives is prosperity in every area.
So with excitement let's discover the sins we are committing, repent and expect an open heaven to be over our lives.
God's favor will "surround you like a shield. You will be praying with a new God-given authority.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33)."
