Yesterday we focused on “being available to our families”, today I would like to focus our attention on another important area and that is marriages. Every day in my prayers, I ask God to touch and heal marriages at The Father's House. I am tired of seeing broken hearts and upset lives because of marriages in crisis. Even if you are not married, please join me in praying for all of the married couples in our church.
I believe that marriage is the foundation of a strong family and a strong family is the foundation of a strong church. We believe that what God joins together, let no one pull apart. We believe in one man and one woman joined together in covenant under God for life. We know that marriage is not a contract between two people, it is a covenant between two people before God.
During this fast, let’s pray for God to bring healing into marriages and homes as never before. I want the next generation to see models of committed couples. I know the divorce rate in our culture and in the Kingdom of God is at an all time high but wouldn’t it be marvelous to see 0% divorce rate in our church. Why not, according to Mark 9:23, “with God, all things are possible”.
Remember the glue that keeps your marriage together is His mercy and grace. Another thing that strengthens marriages is getting plugged in to the church, being part of classes and serving in areas where there is a need.
Let’s stand together as we fast and pray and believe God for the spirit of divorce to be defeated. God hates divorce! And as Christians, so should we!
As we fast, we pray God’s richest blessings on your marriages and homes for 2012. We believe that every family and marriage has a specific mission together. We pray that God will reveal and make His divine assignment for your marriage and family clear. He brought you together for a reason and He is ready to use you to bring salvation, healing and deliverance to homes all over the world.
We stand together for happy marriages and against the plight of divorce in Jesus' Name.

We are at the half way point of this fast, and you are doing great! Don't forget to drink plenty of water every day (your goal should be 1 gallon!) and get enough protein by eating nuts, beans, tofu, etc.
Enjoy the journey,

I'm praying for marriages, in the name of Jesus may there be healing amd restoration. I went through a divorce myself 2 years ago and I can say, I wish I knew then what I know now. I've found tjat a lot of couples want their own way in marriage and they dont work together as a team or with God as number one. There seems to be a lot less unconditional love. I am guilty of all these things but thank God for his mercy, grace and forgiveness. I have been praying that God will mold me into the Proverbs 31 woman so I can be a godly wife to someone one day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this word.

I had a dream last night where there was a pond that was dried and the fish were trying to swim in a little puddle of water, I went to get help to save the fish and when I returned to the pond it was filled with blue water, people were swimming and having fun in and out of the pond, birds flying, the whole scene sang of joy. I awoke and God told me the pond was like his blessings to me filled with all I need, family, friends and joy and the dried pond was where I use to be.
