Humbling yourself before an all-powerful God and asking Him to do what only He can in her life—that’s a level of intimacy beyond anything the world has to offer.<br /><br />Protect Her Joy<br /><br />May she know that the joy of the Lord is the source of her strength. Protect her from growing tired of doing what You’ve called her to do each day (Nehemiah 8:10; Galatians 6:9).<br /><br />Give Her a Growing Need for You<br />Father, You supply all our needs according to Your riches in Christ. I’m amazed that you care about us enough to meet our daily concerns and to notice every detail of our lives. Even the hairs of our heads are numbered because You take care of Your children (Philippians 4:19; Matthew 7:11, 10:30).<br /><br />Shield Her from Spiritual Attack<br /><br />You have conquered and disarmed the spiritual powers, and everything is in complete submission to You. Because of the cross, ______ is a new creation, and nothing can separate her from Your amazing, unfailing love (Colossians 2:15; 1 Peter 3:22; 2 Corinthians 5:17; >Romans 8:38–39). The enemy is defeated. You have crushed his head (Genesis 3:15).<br /><br />Build Her Love<br /><br />Help her to love me through all my failures while I learn to love her as Christ loves the church. May we see each other as You see us, and may we enjoy fulfilling each other’s desires in our marriage (Ephesians 5:25; >1 Corinthians 7:2–4).Chandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699937606357146314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2063226095666261781.post-63015436205125626112019-04-27T19:55:17.436+02:002019-04-27T19:55:17.436+02:00Do you Remember this Scripture?
Romans 4:17, &qu...Do you Remember this Scripture? <br /><br />Romans 4:17, "Call those things that are not as Though They Are!"<br /><br />Jeramiah 1:12, God Says, "You have seen well, for I am actively watching over My Word to Perform It!"<br /><br />Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My Word Be that goes forth out of My mouth. It Will Not Return to Me Void."<br /><br />When we pray for the mate God has for us, He moves and He answers as long as we put Him First! I like to say this prayer every morning even before I get out of bed: "My Beloved Father, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Be Thou my Father. Be always my Eternal Father. Do not leave my soul. Do not abandon me. Do not leave me out of Your sight, my Father, for I am Your child, whom You have created to please You, to adore You, to honor You, living my days as You have given me license to live it.<br /><br />Father God really does respond and especially when we spend our private time with Him, alone praying and Thanking Him for all the miraculous things He has already done in our lives, recognizing He is a Miracle working God! He can turn anything around! He even creates something out of nothing! <br /><br />Ephesians 1:16-18 English Standard Version (ESV)<br />16 "I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,"<br /><br />Let this prayer guide you as you cry out to God for her each day:<br /><br />(Pray as though you Already Have your Wife though you don't yet!):<br /><br />Thank you, Father, for the gift of my wife. You are the giver of all good and perfect blessings, and I’m amazed how You show Your love through her. Please help me to cherish such an amazing gift (James 1:17).<br /><br />When you Pray In This Way Every Day, In The Private Place of Your Heart With Father God, and in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Father God Will Show You His Way!Chandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699937606357146314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2063226095666261781.post-52630397711367129582017-12-11T05:19:03.575+01:002017-12-11T05:19:03.575+01:00Benjamin, Your articles are both amazing!
Section...Benjamin, Your articles are both amazing! <br />Sections 4 through 10 happened in the most appropriate ways. <br />I met a guy that wasn't the usual type I was attracted to, but I was really attracted to him.<br />Before I met him, I had a strange urge to go someplace I hadn't been in a long time. When I went there, a total stranger approached me and told me to come back on a specific Sat. night.<br />I wasn't going to go but earlier that Sat., I had to go someplace. Out of the blue, a different stranger happened to tell me about that same place, and they told me to go there that Sat. night. So I went. <br />It wasn't until the end of the night that somebody led me to a room where he was and when we talked, sparks flew. It was hard saying good night but he came back the next morning.<br />Anyway, there were some disappointing things that happened between us but synchronistic events would pop up all over the place. <br />I prayed for specific signs and the answers all came to me right away. <br />Priests and religious people I didn't even know told me prophetic things about our relationship and within a short time, they happened. <br />We had some tough misunderstandings and some serious obstacles but the signs are coming to me again. His name randomly appears, all over, wherever I happen to go. Benjamin, I went online to find God's word to guide me with this and I found your article. HIS name happens to be Schafer too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2063226095666261781.post-17067341188390942072017-07-16T23:01:08.344+02:002017-07-16T23:01:08.344+02:00Love this!

It includes a little background story :-) <br /><br />Animals, but mainly horses have always been my life. It was the one thing I always used as a condition when talking to God. I would do whatever for Him, go wherever He wanted me to, but not without my horse (the one I got when I was 12). I would be willing to give up everything, but not horses. It all came from a place of not really understanding who He is. That He would force me to give something up that I loved. But then I made the step. I gave it all to Him, even my horse. It didn't involve selling him and was more a process on the inside, but I stayed away for a long time and hardly ever saw him. One and a half years after making the decision to have no conditions in my relationship with Jesus anymore I suddenly felt like buying a new and younger horse, which had always been my dream before giving it all up. And within a couple of days I saw a picture of that gorgeous young horse on a FB page. I saw the picture and knew that this was the horse I wanted. So I emailed the owner and asked for the price, which was way too high for me and not affordable, but she also asked how much I would be willing to pay for him. So I prayed. I prayed for God to show me if this is really what I should do. Was it really His will for me to buy a new horse even though I had given it all up for Him before? So I asked for a specific sign. I emailed the owner in the evening, suggesting just half the price she originally asked for and prayed that if God really wanted me to have this horse she would accept. I woke up the next morning with two emails in my account - one was the owner agreeing to my suggested price. The second was an offer for a book translation which would cover more than half of the money needed to buy the horse and exactly the amount that I still needed in order to buy him. I was over the moon and bought him the same day. Without seeing a video, without getting him checked by a vet. Which, by earthly standards is crazy and absolutely stupid. But I knew. I just knew he was a present from God and that he would have nothing wrong with him. Throughout the day however I had many moments of - Why? Why would God give me this horse. What was the reason behind it? That same evening I sat on a bus and this woman walks up to me and says - I felt that the Lord wanted me to give you this. It was a postcard with the words "Because He loves you" on it. And in this moment I realized how good of a Father God is. He loves me so much that He would give me a horse. And not just any, but the best and most beautiful horse I could have ever asked for. And not because it has a greater purpose for His Kingdom or ministry or my calling. But He did it because He created me to be in relationship with Him. And He rejoices when I rejoice. And cries with me when I cry. And His heart leaps with joy when He sees my joy around this precious, precious gift. It took a horse for me to truly understand who God is and for that I will be forever grateful.<br />So in my case God didn't just responded to a specific sign asked for, but He gave me more confirmation than I would have ever asked for. What an amazing and loving God we have! :-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2063226095666261781.post-8100440575288295532017-04-07T23:16:14.079+02:002017-04-07T23:16:14.079+02:00"He wants us to “always keep praying and neve..."He wants us to “always keep praying and never lose heart” (Lk 18:1).

Just watching God in my life seeing how he's asked me to do one thing but then the next time there's an extra level of faith required to go where he's going. Even thinking about the Israelites caught crossing bodies of water. The first time they simply got to walk through on dry land. The second time however they had to step into rushing water with the ark in order for the water to part. Isn't it just like God to continue to grow us in the capacity of our faith!<br /><br />I also love this comment you made.<br />"An idea that really comes from the Lord needn’t be afraid of being tested and tried. It will remain and only end up more purified." So. Much. Yes! He doesn't need us to defend him he just needs us to go where he's going.<br /><br />So good.

God revealed to me these major three aspects I should take into account when I'm facing major changes in my life: revelation, harmony and leadership!
