always keep it b&h blessed and husky

FIRST I WANT TO SAY GO STEELERS FOR YOUR GREAT SEASON.  CHAMPIONS FOR THE 6 TH TIME AND THE ONLY NFL TEAM TO EVER WIN 6 SUPERBOWLS.  ANYWAY.

HAVE YOU FOUND FAVOUR?

THESE 2 PARTICULAR SCRIPTURES WERE LAID ON MY HEART FROM PROVERBS THE 18 TH CHAPTER.

 21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

 22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

NOW I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU  ABOUT LIFE AND MARRIAGE.  MARRIAGE IS A WONDERFUL COMMUNION OF 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE AS 1 IN GOD.  IT TOOK ME ALMOST 6 YEARS TO REALIZE THAT I FOUND MY LIFE AND THE GREATEST FAVOR OF GOD BECAUSE OF MY MARRIAGE.  WHAT DO YOU MEAN PREACHER? WELL A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU THEY GOT MARRIED FOR MANY REASONS BUT FEW WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY WANTED TO GET MARRIED AND THEIR MARRIAGE TO BE A BLESSING.  I REMEMBER 5 YEARS AGO WHEN TIA AND I WERE GETTING READY TO GET MARRIED I SAID TO HER “OUR MARRIAGE WILL BE A BLESSING TO OTHER FOLKS.”  SAYING THAT SENTENCE SPOKE LIFE INTO NOT JUST US BUT THOSE AROUND US.  IT ALSO BROUGHT ON SOME OF THE WORST CHALLENGES EVER.  I HAVE BEEN A GOOD MAN NOT GOING TO JAIL, ROBBING PEOPLE, STEALING,KILLING, OR ANY OF THAT.  MATTER OF FACT I WAS ALRIGHT BY THE WORLD’S STANDARDS. I WAS LACKING IN THIS AREA WITH MY WIFE: I WAS IMMATURE, SELFISH, A CHEATER, LIAR, WHOREMONGER, AND ALL AROUND SPIRITUALLY BROKEN.  BEING SPIRITUALLY BROKEN WAS WHAT WAS SETTING ME A PART FROM GOD AND TIA.  TRIALS AND TEST WERE COMING AND I WAS FAILING THEM IN THE WORST WAY.  THIS YEAR I SAID A SILENT PRAYER TO GOD FOR 2009 “REVEAL TIA TO ME  ALL OVER AGAIN.”  EVEN THOUGH THE DAYS OF THIS NEW YEAR ARE SHORT RIGHT NOW I AM LEARNING MORE BY KEEPING MY EYES FOCUSED ON GOD.  ONE WAY WAS ALL OF THESE YEARS I HAVE BEEN LIVING [33] I HAVE BUMPED MY HEAD TO GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.  NEVER HAVE I SLEPT WITHOUT IT BECAUSE OF BEING HYPER SO I THOUGHT.  FOR THE FIRST TIME I FELL ASLEEP IN TIA’S ARMS AND I FELT MORE COMFORT THERE GOING TO SLEEP THAN EVER BEFORE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DEPENDING ON OTHER PEOPLE.  TIA INCLUDED BUT GOD HAS SHOWED ME THAT FAULT THROUGH GOING TO SLEEP.  IN MARRIAGE YOU SHOULD BE LEARNING ALL OF THE TIME.  TIA AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT EACH OTHER.  ANYWAY THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH ARE IN THE TONGUE IS THE SCRIPTURE RIGHT BEFORE HE THAT FINDETH A WIFE.  HOW MANY OF US ARE SPEAKING DEATH ON OUR MARRIAGE?  SPEAKING DEATH WHEN WE TALK TO OUR KIDS ABOUT OUR PARENTS “YOUR DADDY AIN’T NO GOOD.”  EVEN LITTLE SUBTLE STUFF LIKE ” CAN YOU WASH THE DISHES, BUT YOU PROBABLY AIN’T GOING TO DO THEM RIGHT.”  YOUR POWER TO HAVE A GOOD MARRIAGE OR RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND STARTS WITH YOUR TONGUE.  IF YOU SPEAK IT THEN IT MUST COME TRUE.  “I AM SO SICK OF THAT MAN, I CAN’T STAND HIM” AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY YOU HAVE GOTTEN SICK AND HE NO LONGER STANDS AROUND LISTENING TO YOUR MESS.  BECAUSE YOU HAVE SPOKEN IT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.  IF YOU SPEAK SOMETHING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE IT WILL COME TO PASS BECAUSE GOD OR THE DEVIL WILL ANSWER IT.  SEE THE DEVIL WILL TRY YOU OUT ON YOUR WORDS.  HAVE YOU SICK AND ON YOUR DEATH BED. THIS IS WHY JAMES CHAPTER 1 VERSE 19 SAYS Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.  BECAUSE YOUR WORDS CAN BRING HELL OR HEAVEN TO A SITUATION.  LOOK AT YOUR SITUATION AND SEE IF YOU ARE SPEAKING LIFE INTO IT OR DEATH. MEANING THIS YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THE DEVIL DOESN’T WANT YOU ON ONE ACCORD WITH YOUR WIFE. BEING ON ONE ACCORD MEANS SOMETHING.  WHEN YOU ARE ON ONE ACCORD WITH YOUR WIFE/HUSBAND YOU ARE ON ONE ACCORD WITH GOD.  BECAUSE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE FAVOR OF GOD HE HAS TO BE THE HEAD OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD.  WHEN MEN REALIZE THIS THEY WILL HAVE AN EASIER TIME. BECAUSE THE HEAD STARTS WITH GOD.  ANYTHING I HAVE TOLD TIA THAT GOD SAID AND I WAS ON ONE ACCORD WITH ALL 3 TIA HAS NEVER EVEN QUESTIONED IT SHE JUST DID IT.  SO GOD HAS SOMETHING’S TO SAY ARE YOU SPEAKING LIFE ABOUT IT OR DEATH? I LOVE YOU MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD.  GET THE REST BY STUDYING THE WORD AND NOT JUST TAKING MY WORD FOR IT.
