Scriptures

Couples and Families, these scriptures are for you!

Confess daily over your lives as ones drink

and eat their daily food.

Psalm 128

Blessed is every one that fears the Lord Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine. In the very heart of your house, your children shall be like olive plants, all around your table. Behold thou shall the man be blessed, who fears the Lord. The Lord blesses you out of Zion and may you see the good of Jerusalem, all the days of your life. Yes, you may see your children’s children.

Joshua 24:15

But as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.

Genesis 2:22-23

God created Adam from the dust of the ground. God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul. God created and design woman from the rib of man. God put Adam to sleep and created and designed woman from the rib of Adam. The ribs protect two of the most essentials organs the lungs and the heart. Man is to protect woman and value her.

Ingest

Being kind to one another is showing respect

The Rose

The Holy Spirit inspired me in writing this book to see a wholesome healthy, joyful successful marriage from the perspective of a responsible gardener who cares for a beautiful rose garden with ultimate care, respect and diligence. In order to produce a, spectacular rose garden a caretaker must be willing to have patience to cultivate, water, and prune and replant into the ground to reap the rewards of one’s labor of love.

When looking at a rose bud no one would ever think how a rose come from the rose bud when nurtured, planted, watered, cultivated and pruned. A rose bud produces one of the most beautiful flowers in the world that is breathtaking and astounding in its beauty. However it takes patience, and diligent care to reap the results of its beauty from a committed gardener or caretaker of the rose garden.

Irrigate Your Marriage and Love

A rose have thorns that causes each one who picks up the rose to handle with delicate care. A wise gardener cares for his roses with excellent care. When a gardener observes weeds or insects that would destroy the roots various plant pesticides are used to protect the roots from, unwanted creatures that would destroy the harvest. The thorns also protect the flower from certain predators. Husbands please know that God created and designed woman from the rib of Adam. The irrigation system in a marriage is to cultivate, planting seeds, watering, and pruning are significant mandates to produce a wholesome beautiful marriage.

Sparks In, A Marriage Is the Fuel

The Sparks in a marriage is likened to watching a beautiful firework show, No one wants to leave the sight until all fireworks have been witnessed their great radiance. Maintaining ones marriage with care, and precision and skills will produce great outcomes to the couple.

Neglect of cultivating, planting, watering and pruning one’s marriage, could result in the marriage being dissolved or drying up.

The Ribs Protect Two Essential Organs

The ribs protect two of the most essential organs in the body, the heart and the lungs. God created man and woman to become a hedge for one another. Husbands and wives are to become a covering that looks after one another’s best interest. Whereby they protect one another from violators and predators that seek to destroy their marriage. Predators come in all disguises. It is essential for couples to be diligent caretakers that, cares for their love with respect, honor and trust.

Couples confess Psalm 1: 1-3 Ye shall be planted like a tree planted by the rivers of living water. Ye shall bring fourth fruits in your seasons. His leaf shall not withier but whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Couples see your marriage as being planted by rivers of living water that flourish forever as a Palm Tree.

Couples Fill One Another Up

With Love That Overflows!

Please put two wine glasses on this page overflowing . . .

Ingest:

A wise couple will fill one another up until they overflow!

Until, they are running over,

Opening Statement

The devil hates families who love Jesus Christ of Nazareth and who practice doing good works to His glory!

Christian families that love Jesus Christ of Nazareth are under demonic attacks, the same as, the first family of the earth was. The devil hated that Adam communed with God and was in a sweet relationship with God, whereby he and God communed together in the cool of the day with a Breath to Breath experience of worship and harmonious relationship as a Father and son. This is why the serpent beguiled Eve to get to the priest of the home.

The devil despised and hated that Adam and Eve was in the center of God’s heart. This is why the serpent lured Adam’s wife Eve and started talking with her, the weaker vessel. The goal was to break the family bond that Adam and Eve had with God and to get his attention away from the things he should have been attending to.

Adam Failed Eve and God

Eve failed Adam by disobeying what God mandated and Adam failed Eve and his future generation by neglecting to obey what GOD SAID in addition to being speechless unassertive or acting as a wimp. Think about this when Adam first saw his wife he was excited whereby he said this is bone of my bone After he watched the side show with the serpent lure his wife while he did nothing, he blamed God for giving his wife to him. Read Breath to Breath With God Face to Face by this Author!

The Sparks that he felt were gone and diminished while he refused to protect the ground as, God gave him the commandment. The same is happening today, in some couple lives. Many men fail to be the Priest in their home that stands watch as the strong man of the home. Too many men are not watching the grounds as they are to stand watch as the priest in their own home. Some are not there to stand watch. They are to watch out against predators and violators that would come and try to steal what God has bestowed to them.

Too Many Strongmen Are Gone or Bound

This is Why Families Have Taken Hits and Licks

Some men are there but not there. Some are physically there but mentally gone. Some are there working but do not realize there is more to going on a job, and returning home to be the priest in the home. I believe that countless ministries have neglected to teach men their roles on earths as God has mandated. This is one of the main reasons Christian families have taken a hit with licks with divorce and separations on the rise.

Spiritual Predators Seeks Easy Targets

A Home Without, a Strong Man at His Post Is an Easier Target

A man’s role in the home is just as crucial as a mother’s role. If the thief can bind the strongman of the home, he seeks to come in and destroy the family. Where there is a strong man in the home standing watch at his post, it is very difficult to get inside. Thieves and robbers do not like residences that have alarms or bodyguards watching. They seek residences or places that they consider an easy target.

A man in the home who is YET on unfamiliar grounds that have not taken their position seriously or who is clueless of their essential significant role or who do not care to administer their role is asking for problems, of leaving an open door unlocked for violators and spiritual predators to violate or attack their home. A man who is not at his post as God Himself has ordained is acting out foolishly whereby he opens the door for spiritual violators who seek to destroy the Christian family unity, love and bond.

The same devil wants to take the Sparks out of the Couple lives as he did to Adam and Eve. They blamed one another for their misgivings and disobedience. It is time for all men who have left their designated post to return to familiar grounds. What is familiar ground? To, get back in relationship and unity and harmony and in love with God whereby you are excited about talking with Him.

Adam and Eve Let Down One Another

Therefore, Adam let down his wife and future seeds by, his act of disobedience to, God. Adam was earth’s first prodigal son. God ordained the man to be the priest of his own house. However, today too many men are yet, standing on unfamiliar grounds disobeying, Creator God! The devil was insanely Jealous of earth first couple who was in the face of God, in relationship, worship and praise. Today the same devil is insanely Jealous of couples who Love Jesus Christ of Nazareth, because they took His place to worship and praise God through relationship, and through music. The devil purpose and goal is to divide and separate families to bring about confusion, disharmony and hatred one to, another.

The Imposter Family-Street Gangs

Today numerous black children do not know their fathers. This neglect has resulted in travesties and tragedies among children. Fathers have an obligation with love to be a watchman and strong man to their wife and seeds. Some have associated some children of color joining gangs because of the family bond. This is a myth. Street gang’s family bonds are distorted. Their love is twisted, whereby they kill and have their family members doing wrong through their demonic bond and doings from hell. People need to stop associating street gangs with family bond ties. The family unit under God’s mandates has nothing to do with killing, stealing, robbing, or destroying self or others. These are all the signs of street gang’s devil influences that do not represent God’s definition of family. Call it for what it is.

Gangs Are Imposters to the Family Unit

Street mean spirited men and women and young male or female minors are
