The Stand The Man Of God Takes

Good Day Men!

Joshua 24: 15 “……but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  (NASB)

Try to do this on your own and you will fail miserably.  Once we are born again God brings to power his Holy Spirit in our lives.  The house (family) that does anything other than serve the Lord is destined for division.  The word “serve” as I use it here doesn’t mean to become a Pastor, Minister, Sunday School Teacher, Deacon. Etc.  To “serve” in this term means to commit, even as the only one in the family that may be willing to do this.  Satan can and will take the uncommitted home and tear it asunder.  Have you ever experienced this kind of devastation or witnessed it as it took place in other families?  I have!  I have seen grown men, after the fact of seeing what Satan can do to a divided family, totally devastated and on their knees before a holy God asking him to restore their family and once again bring peace.  Full commitment to our holy God can bring peace into a frustrated life and over time can even reunite and restore a broken family.  The key is the above verse.

As men and the Godhead of our homes we are responsible for committing to the above verse.  You may experience isolation from your kids, frustration from your mate, and even separation by your friends.  Not to worry….God is still in control.  Often times we won’t see God in action but he is there as we pray for our wife, and children.  It is up to us as men to commit our families to God and watch him go to work as he brings peace into a possibly bitter situation.  It will take time.  It is so worth it.  The transformation of your family is awesome to experience.  Even after you have prayed for your family members you may still never see the end result of what God can do.  But you will experience the peace that comes from knowing you’ve done all you can through God to “serve the Lord”.    


Let’s give our families over to God and let him protect them and guard their hearts.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way, through His Word…..AMEN!

Have a Great Day!!

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
