30 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

BY CRYSTAL BANKS

DAY 1 OF 30

Dear God,Two imperfect people cannot make a perfect relationship. This morning we humble ourselves and pray and invite You Lord God into our marriage relationship. We can’t do this alone. We invite You to be the centre of our marriage and to get “all up in our buisness”.

Every aspect of our lives with our spouse I pray that you meet us there… in those moments. I pray the Holy Spirit guide us in our words and in our actions and in all things in the day to day life of our marriage. We can’t be the spouse You called us to be alone and our spouse can’t be the person You called them to be and that we want them to be if we aren’t united in You.The word of God says that you will give us the desires of our hearts. Lord God we pray that you give us the desires of our hearts for our marriage. “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better for a triple braided cord is NOT easily broken.” In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray, ask and Lord God we receive all these things!

DAY TWO:
We prayed and invited you into our marriage relationship. Although you Lord God are perfect we are not. We have said and done hurtful things to our spouse in the past and our spouses have said and done hurtful things to us in the past Lord God. We don’t want anything to get in the way of Your best for our marriage and our lives Lord God. Today we lay our hurts at your feet. We release our offence, our resentment, our expectations, and our disappointments to You Lord God. People that we are close to hurt us the most so even small things can turn into big mountains.

FLIRTING WITH DISASTER

Sunday, May 20th, 2012


Part 1 – WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

We’re flirtin’ with disaster, ya’ll know what I mean 
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me 
I don’t know about yourself or what you wanna to be, yeah 
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny…(Molly Hatchet, 1979)

Thus began one of the more popular Southern Rock songs by Molly Hatchet. It is pretty interesting that the first line of that song ends with “ya’all know what I mean”! No we don’t! What do you mean? This is the issue with Flirting, whether it’s with disaster or destiny! We know where it could lead – DISASTER! Before we go any further, let’s define what flirting is.

Webster’s Dictionary says it is “moving erratically; behaving amorously without serious intent and showing superficial or casual interest or liking ( i.e. flirted with the idea ). It can also mean “experimenting and/or to coming close to reaching or experiencing something —used with with flirting with disaster“!

At some point in our lives, we have all this. We are liars if we deny this. Most times oft flirting is used in relation to expressing interest with a member of the opposite sex. It can be a superficial or real, but unless you put a stop to it, a person really is “Flirting with Disaster”!
