Submission is learning when to duck so God can hit your husband ~ Beth Moore

Oooh I LOVE that one! Sometimes we try to manipulate the men in our lives or push our crazy God-loving-ways onto them...but there is such wisdom in Ms. Moore's words. Get outta the way so God can work on our husbands! Lift them up in prayer ~ but beyond that, let the maker of the universe have at 'em! Pray a touch of God on their hearts. Pray a move of God in their lives. Pray for their covering in the blood of the lamb. Pray God's glorious hedge of protection around them. Then trust God to reconcile your husband to Himself! Greater is He that is in your husband than He that is in the world. Girlfriend, get out the way!

Friday

Prayer

The New Testament teaches that prayer and intercession are expected of all believers.
James 5:16 (Amplified Bible) instructs us with these words,

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

Who in your life needs prayer today? Take a second to ask the Lord to reveal to you someone in your life that needs your prayer. You may be surprised at how quickly someone will pop into your head. Be obedient to that prompting from the Lord and pray for that person! It will have an impact in the spiritual realm that you may not even realize.

Father, we come to You seeking to know Your will. Show us where and how we can demonstrate Your love, by praying for others. Give us open hearts and minds so that we can truly identify the specific needs of others. Lord, grant us the ability to be Your hands and Your feet in serving others in love. In Jesus' name, Amen
If you need prayer, I would be honored to pray for your situation, just send me an email at : jtraut28@yahoo.com.

Quotable Quote

A man can no more diminish God's glory
by refusing to worship Him
than a lunatic can put out the sun
by scribbling the word 'darkness'
on the walls of his cell.
- C.S. Lewis

And a truly quotable for all the
crazy Jesus Freaks out there
C'mon, you know who you are:

"Friendship is born at that moment
when one person says to another:
What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
- C.S. Lewis
