Men of God are to cherish their wives, to lay down their lives for them as Christ did for the Church (Ephesians 5:25-27). Jesus laid down His life out of His love for us and so should be the case with men, husbands for their beloved wives (John 3:16).

Beginning our day with prayer is an absolutely irreplaceable mainstay in the life of every disciple of Jesus. Show me a man without a private time of seeking God daily, and I will show you a backslidden man, living in sin, one who does not fear the LORD or walk in the Spirit (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16).

“Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?” 1 Corinthians 9:5 

Dear men of God, gentlemen, let us heed the divine wisdom communicated to Lemuel via his mother. Prov 31:3 God disdains weak men, Ahabs. He made you to rule in His wisdom, love, and truth – to protect, cherish, and provide for women and children (Genesis 2:15; Psalms 8:6; Ephesians 5:25-27; Revelation 2:20-24, etc.). Perhaps the prayer of Paul in Ephesians 3:16 is a good place to begin. 

“Give not thy strength (role, position) unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.” Proverbs 31:3

MARRIED MEN PERSPECtIVE: “Knowing that I shall give full account to God for how I loved, led, and cherished the wife He gave me, I must examine my own heart.”

As a man who is a child of God, I must ask myself if I am prepared to lead one of the LORD’s precious daughters in marriage. Am I learning to lay down my life now, today – to put Jesus and others first, not myself? (Philippians 2:3-5) Or, am I self-willed, self-absorbed, full of self, and self-serving? If I am not living the crucified life now, how could God possibly see me to be fit to lead one of His beloved daughters? How could He possibly trust me with one of His beloved daughters if I’m not being faithful to serve Him daily – as He plainly prescribed? (Luke 9:23-24) Am I so deceived that I do not think the Almighty sees my rebellion, the sin and darkness of my heart, and my refusal to lay down my life in this world? (Luke 14:33; 17:33)

Jesus told us that serving Him is “daily” or it’s not at all (Luke 9:23-24). You will serve God on HIS terms or not at all.

It’s always a blessing to see couples praying in public. God says men are to lead this (1 Timothy 2:8). Dear brothers in Christ, are we just another self-serving man? A date with a dear Christian lady is the bless-ed opportunity to make a statement for Christ.

Dear unmarried brother in Christ: Are you PRAYING for a godly wife? If so, are you PREPARING for her? Does God find you faithful, a man with a pure heart of integrity before Him?

WHEN looking for a true equally yoke partner for life…. NEVER look for a church-goer but rather someone who has truly repented and the fruit of their life is that they authentically, daily seek the face of the LORD! They are in His Word and have a life of prayer and the cross. Case closed! Drop the counterfeits now!

SO sir, do we need a certain day of the year (valentine’s), just one day, to obey God in loving, cherishing, romancing the lovely wife HE gave us? Jesus gave all to purchase His bride (body of Christ) and He commands men to love their wives 365! (Ephesians 5:25-27)

David is our example of a man who chose to have a heart after God (Acts 13:22). David prayed:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalms 139:23-24

The LORD cannot and will not bless a dirty heart:

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Words are cheap. Now it’s time to literally obey.

crucified with Christ

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18

Nothing good happens until we trust and obey (Isaiah 1:18-20).

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

Are you choosing to surround yourself with the Word, praise and worship, good preaching of God’s Word? If not, you are not sanctified. Today is your day!

HOW can our heart and mind possibly be pure if we are filling it with filth?

“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

Am I so blinded by my sin that I do not see that God requires that I live a crucified life?

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

God alone can prepare a man to lead about one of His beloved daughters. And, the LORD will only do so in the lives of men who are truly “crucified with Christ.”

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

Nothing in the Christian life works without the cross.

Do you truly desire a godly wife? If so, demonstrate your earnestness to the LORD today by getting before Him in holy prayer communion. Begin with repentance, surrendering your life, your whole will, afresh to Him. Confess all sin (Proverbs 28:13). This is where it all begins – coming to the LORD’s cross.

“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12

Ask: Will I be prepared to cherish and love and provide for and take care of the LORD’s bless-ed daughter that He would send me? Do I truly understand that God is holding me personally accountable to die repent for real, lay down my life in this world, deny self, take up the cross and serve HIM and others? (Luke 9:23-24) Either I’m showing myself faithful to God now or I’m not. What’s the honest truth?

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

crucified with ChristJesus taught that as and only if we are faithful in what we already have, will the LORD grant us more (Matthew 25:21,23). God cannot be faked out, deceived. No mere man can fool God. He sees all and rewards accordingly. Are you bless-able in His holy sight?

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them (your wife) according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” 1 Peter 3:7

Think about it: If a dear virtuous woman is to submit to your headship, can she find you trustworthy to truly seek and obey the LORD? Is there a clean heart of integrity in you?

“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Corinthians 11:3

Am I a true worshipper of Jesus Christ, seeking His face honestly, daily? Do I cry out for Him to bring brokenness into me? (Psalms 34:18; 51:17; Hosea 12:10; James 4:8-10) Or, am I simple another church member, a counterfeit tare? Do I cry out daily to the LORD to create in me a clean heart, to grant pureness of heart and life? (Psalms 51; 139:23-24; Matthew 5:6, 8. etc.).

crucified with Christ“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27

A wife is God’s opportunity for the man daily to lay down his life and serve. Pour prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 each and every morning. The LORD puts that tangible person there with us to daily love, cherish, and serve – just as He came and served us. What a gift, amen?!!!!

One sister in Christ writes:

“True devotion cannot be faked. God alone knows when it’s true devotion, coming from a hot relationship between He and thee. When we become turned off to all other loves, we will look again to our Eternal husband with love and adoration. We will move as HE wills and speak when HE says again and cease from speaking when HE says. God takes no delight in a liar, nor in an independent bride. He wants us by HIS side. He cannot lead a rebellious people. He is a jealous God, and is desirous of His bride. He wants her attentive to HIM in every way. He expects her to realize and honor His authority over her. It’s HIS kingdom, not ours. We do well to ask HIM to silence our tongues until HE bids us speak, and open our ears wide to wait for His becoming calls and instructions. If we fail to ask these things, we will join the millions speaking about things they have no orders to speak and working works God never sent them to.”

Liza Young writes:

“Our growth in grace may change our spouse, or it may not. There are no guarantees in life except GOD – His truth and His love. But with HIS help, we can change. Although all our marriage ills may not be cured GOD’s grace can make us well. Success in marriage is not finding the right or perfect person but becoming the right person.”

PRAYER OF A GODLY HUSBAND: Holy Father, I here and now this very instant humble myself before You. Please break me to the core of my being. Shatter all the pride, arrogance, hardness of heart, and unbelief. Please grant repentance to my heart and forgive all my sins here and now through the blood of Jesus Christ. I turn upward to You right this moment in the name of Jesus, asking for Your mercy, and ask You to have Your way in me, in this life You gave. I here and now repent and ask You to cleanse and fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost. I love You Jesus. I love You my heavenly Father. Please make me one with You and teach my heart to love my wife, Your gift to me in this life, as You loved the church and came and died to purchase Your people with Your very life blood. In the name of Jesus, amen LORD.

JEZEBEL KNOWS NO BOUNDS: The jezebel, feminist movement attacks men, males who earn more than female as if they did something wrong!!! This is a direct attack on God, men, women, and children – the family unit. This is Satan’s work saints. Jesus told us he’s come “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Be not deceived. God ordained that the man, the husband, the father, earn the money to take care of his WIFE and children (1 Timothy 5:8). Beware and be thankful to the LORD for the godly men, breadwinners who provide for their wives and families.

The LORD created the family and the role of each member. Those who attack the family unit, attack God and are under divine judgment!

“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalms 68:6

“Lord, I Believe; Help Thou Mine Unbelief” [podcast]


“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:23-24

God wants us to depend on HIM, not self. What a prayer from this father who was seeking Jesus for his possessed, embattled son!

“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24

Now that is a great prayer for us today—“Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24

Is this not kin to the prayer Christ’s disciples prayed to Him—“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5) ?

Some ask “Lord, how can I increase MY faith?”

Read that again.

It’s not how I can increase my faith! No. That is all self-centered. We pray as did the apostles, “Lord, Increase our faith.” In other words, You do it please dear LORD!

There are two ways the Word prescribes that we walk in more faith:

Asking for it (Luke 17:5)

Reading and heeding the Word for it—“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

“9:24 The father expressed the paradox of faith and unbelief experienced by God’s people in all ages. ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’ We want to believe, yet find ourselves filled with doubt. We hate this inward, unreasonable contradiction, yet seem to fight it in vain.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Another person commenting on this text writes:

“Help thou mine unbelief – That is, assist me against it. Give me a power to believe.”

“[Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief] A prayer that all can pray with great profit.” Dake

“VII. The profession of faith which the poor man made hereupon (Mrk_9:24); He cried out, ‘Lord, I believe; I am fully persuaded both of thy power and of thy pity; my cure shall not be prevented by the want of faith; Lord, I believe.’ He adds a prayer for grace to enable him more firmly to rely upon the assurances he had of the ability and willingness of Christ to save; Help thou my unbelief. Note, 1. Even those who through grace can say, Lord, I believe, have reason to complain of their unbelief; that they cannot so readily apply to themselves, and their own case, the word of Christ as they should, no so cheerfully depend upon it. 2. Those that complain of unbelief, must look up to Christ for grace to help them against it, and his grace shall be sufficient for them. ‘Help mine unbelief, help me to a pardon for it, help me with power against it; help out what is wanting in my faith with thy grace, the strength of which is perfected in our weakness.’ Matthew Henry

Learning to trust and depend upon our LORD:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:5-8

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

“All it takes is a mustard seed of faith to move mountains. Meaning even the smallest of faith can do miracles. It is belief in God not in self that matters. Mark 11:22 says ‘Have faith in God.’ He will provide the increase. Even the disciples prayed for more faith! And we know them to be men of great faith!” Karen Cochran

LET’S PRAY: Holy Father, we come to You now, because we know You are our Source for all blessings and answered prayer. Yet, we lack faith and ask You now to “Increase our faith” and to “help thou mine unbelief.” Please fill in dear LORD where we lack, where we are weak. We know You are all powerful, loving, and desire to and are ready to answer our prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Evolution is a Fairy Tale for Grownups” … “The Greatest Hoax Ever


Clear proof that the devil can only make a monkey out of fools who deny the existence of their own Maker. – SIMPLE QUESTION: IF MAN CAME FROM MONKEYS, WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS?

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalms 14:1

Is it possible to have a painting and not a painter?

Got proof?

Did the painting paint itself?

Is it scientific, is it honest to acknowledge a creation and deny there’s a Creator?

Got proof?

Can something come out of nothing? Where did the evolutionary primordial soup come from that what we see now somehow came out of? WHO created that soup? Does the first law of science not acknowledge that “something cannot come out of nothing”?

By definition, science is defined as the study of what already exists. Otherwise there would be no science, nothing to study, right? What would you say of a person who while claiming to be scientific, simultaneously denies there’s anything to study? Are we studying something that doesn’t exist? If we are studying, that means we exist, right? If we are examining, studying something, that means that that something already exists, correct? Where did it come from?

Those who deny there’s a Creator, are simply being moral cowards who want to deny the need to obey the Judge of their eternal souls before whom we shall all stand before to give full account of every intent of the heart and action.

Robert Beriault notes:

“They have disproved evolution many years ago, by mapping our genome. It proved that humans were always humans and monkeys were always monkeys. And through God‘s fingerprints in the Fibonacci sequence. The question is why are they still teaching it to our kids? The beast system as its best.”

Charles Darwin was a satanist – The theory of evolution is mere baseless theory, mythology, a fairytale for grown ups who refuse to take personal responsibility for their lives before a holy God.

“To suppose that the eye… could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible. degree.” Charles Darwin, 1872

THERE’S NOTHING SCIENTIFIC ABOUT EVOLUTION. Undisputably, it’s a proofless myth, a lie, a fraud.

If mankind evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Where O where is the intermediary species? Where’s the proof? There is not 1 iota of evidence of such the whole world over.

Is mankind the evolution of apes?

IF HUMANS CAME FROM APES, WHY ARE THERE STILL APES? WHERE IS THE INTERMEDIARY SPECIES?

Apes are beasts, animals. They can’t laugh, cry, or reason. God made only MANKIND in His own image (Genesis 1). Satan is the author of this erroneous doctrine of evolution. He’s the one who want children, people to believe they are just animals, so they act like such. He’s the liar and the father of all lies who has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy (John 8:44; 10:10), Those who don’t walk in the truth of God, given all men in Holy Scripture, will be “destroyed”, the pawns of the evil one who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour.” (Hosea 4:6; 1 Peter 5:8)

God made each species of HIS creation to PRODUCE AFTER IT’S OWN KIND and so that dispels the myth, the rank heresy of evolution (Genesis 1). Adaption can be observed but not evolution. Species simply do not become something other than what they were made to be, what they are coded to be. There is no proof the world over for such a myth as the evolution of species. A term makes nothing true, especially in this case where there is no proof. Adding “millions of years” to a mere theory doesn’t change that such a theory is mythology, not truth. Think about it: If you went home today and emptied out your gargage, and waited a year to see if something would magically appear in that garage, would it happen? No. What if you waited 10 years? How about a thousand, a million years? Would time itself cause something, anything to somehow appear in your garage? No.

Fact: There’s not 1 stitch, not 1 iota of evidence of evolution in every museum in the world. It’s been called a “fairy tale for grown ups.”

Adaptation is part of CREATION. It merely speaks to a loving God who made men and even animals to adapt to their environment on HIS earth where He created and placed them (Psalms 8). There is no museum in the entire world that has a stitch of proof of evolution. “The FOOL hath said in his heart, there is no God.” (Psalms 14:1)

“Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.” Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France, J. Rostand, “LaMonde et la Vie,” October 1963, p. 31 from V. Long, “Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Adults,” Homiletic and Pastoral Review, Vol 78 (1978), no. 7, pp. 27-32

“Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact.” Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, Physiologist, Atomic Energy Commission. As quoted in: Evolution and the Emperor’s New Clothes, 3D Enterprises Limited, 1983, title page
