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

Are You Bless-able? English and Spanish [podcast]


Who is Going to be “Blessed”?

“A FAITHFUL MAN shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

Like it or not, God has conditions to appropriate His blessings. Rebels hate this reality because they despise personal accountability, personal responsibility. Their rebellion changes nothing. Either repent, be saved, and walk humbly with Christ, or lose your soul for eternity in hell (Mark 8:34-38).

True followers of Jesus are doing the work of the Gospel, are diligent, are “not slothful,” and “inherit” “the promises” of God “through faith and patience.”

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:10-12

In the New Testament, we don’t ever see disciples of Christ spending all kinds of time singing praise songs, numbing themselves out, etc. No, when the Holy Spirit truly fills a believer, it’s to be a witness of Christ and that person is sent out.

Jesus dwells large only in those who practically obey Him and not those just trying to get an emotional fix by soaking in a building in a “revival.”

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Are We Bless-able?

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

Have you given God your life?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

Mexico Mission Momentum Part 41

The first shipment of Spanish Bibles has arrived!!!


A staggering miracle has befallen Maria’s precious life and she still can’t believe it!

ALL because YOU have said “YES JESUS, I am going to lift this beloved sister in Christ, this laborer for our LORD in prayer…. and you are giving to help her!

You my friend are guilty of delivering glory to God and a death blow to the enemy of all souls!

We are now finding out that Maria works and 3 different locations each day. This is how she is able to distribute hundreds of JESUS tracts daily.

When Jesus says “I will build my church” He was not speaking about collecting money to build physical buildings. That came in with the pagan catholic church hundreds of years later. No, Jesus was speaking of building His kingdom in the hearts of men, beginning with the revelation that He is the Messiah (Matthew 16:18).

If the money you give isn’t going directly into the Great Commission Jesus gave us, you are wasting your giving (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

Building up Gospel laboring fruit-filled diligent disciples such as Juan and Maria, is building Christ’s church! Oil the wheels that roll!

“The blessed word says that freely we receive, freely we give. For from His fullness we all receive grace upon grace, blessing upon blessing, brother. So Paul said, ‘Woe to me if I do not do it!’ Then we must do the Great Commission that God gave us for His honor and glory.” Juan

Juan and Maria are being continually tended to, supported with prayer etc.

Brother Mark went to spend some time with sister Maria for the first time and found out she needs a new cell phone. So, we bought her one……..

Maria is a widow and works 3 different “jobs” that are tips only. Her rental is $100 per month. She only told us this information because we asked her. Maybe someone would be prompted to begin paying sister Maria’s rent? God is able amen.

“That we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.”

We’ve been meeting with brother Juan and sister Maria regularly, sometimes daily.

“We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.” 3 John 8

Spiritually and supply wise, refreshing and re-stocking these disciples (and others) is our part, our opportunity and privilege. And you have been a big part of this saints. Your prayer and support have been and are vital.

Recently restocked brother Juan and brought Maria about 2k tracts last night

She was elated.

Your prayers and support are making this possible.

“I will never cease to be amazed by how hungry these people are for God! From all the pictures it looks like they begin to read the Jesus tract as soon as they receive it! In America, it’s very hard to find people who truly want Jesus because they are rich and in need of nothing and have no idea how wretched, miserable, poor, and blind they are. Rev 3:17. Including those so-called Christians! Who just try to put Jesus over their filthy rags! Nothing but dead religion. Yet they believe they are good and will be in heaven, when inside they are white-washed tombs. It’s refreshing to see the hunger of the beloved Mexico people! Thank you for sharing all these stories of how the Lord is touching hearts! Blessed to be a small part of this ministry.” Karen Cochran | Mission Mexico

Your prayers and support are going a long way to help Mission Mexico!!

The Bibles God’s people sent just arrived and will be distributed to incarcerated Mexicans soon.

The JESUS tract is being distributed daily by the hundreds with the Word of God spoken in those exchanges.

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10

Please allow me to remind you … that your prayers and financial fuel are essential to what is going on here and each of Christ’s disciples shall be rewarded equally, fully—no matter what part they play! 1 Samuel 30:24

Recently I became desperate as the need for financial supply dropped like a bless-ed bomb within a short window of time. Instead of trusting I panicked instead of taking it to the LORD and trusting Him. The reception of Juan and Maria has been earth shaking, a type of sign from God that He loves and desires to save the bless-ed and beautiful people of Mexico. America has rejected the LORD saints.

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14

Can you even believe that our LORD is using us, you and I and others, to give His glorious Gospel to the nation, the people of Mexico?!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:13-14


The Gospel momentum continues to grow:

From brother Juan:  “Brother Cresenciano asked me if I had any Jesus pamphlets he could take with him and hand out, and said he wanted to serve his neighbor with love. Glory to God!”

Over 20,000 JESUS tracts in print here in Mexico. More than 12,000 have been distributed to date. We are now beginning to take in love offerings to print the next 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Okay, from now on, if you see a pic of someone holding a stash or stack of JESUS tracts, it’s because they agreed to do so, they asked for more tracts in order to reach their world here in Mexico with the Gospel of Jesus. Gospel momentum!

Brother Juan and sister Maria and several others in Christ are blazing a Gospel trail (Mark 1:45). Jesus is coming.

Thank you for lifting Mission Mexico, the people of Mexico, in prayer.

Mission Mexico


Thank you for praying for Mission Mexico.



Your prayers and support are fueling the reaching of scores of precious Mexican people, daily!

You have the same reward as the foot soldiers….

1 Samuel 30:24

“Cursed be the Man that Trusteth in Man” [podcast]


A Nuclear Revelation

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” is a powerful verse from the Bible, commonly associated with a specific warning against relying on human strength rather than God.”

So many act like Spurgeon or some other mere man’s writings are on the same level as Holy Scripture. NOT! They prove their idolatry. They are in sin. They glory in mere men and not the LORD! Hell awaits. Jeremiah 17:5; Isaiah 2:22; 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, etc.

God calls us to worship, love, seek, trust, and obey Him as the ultimate authority of our lives in this world.

Another example of this is the idolatry of the demonic fraud CS Lewis!

CS LEWIS EXPOSED

THIS JUST IN:

“Amen! Amen for Prov 10:22. All glory be to Him!

By the grace of God I discovered last night your website, praise Him, in search for exposure on CS Lewis.

By the grace of God I learnt as a baby believer, 20 years ago, that his teachings are dangerous including that witchcraft book and movie, Narnia. Sadly, so called mature Christians in the UK are considering him a saint, a born again believer.

I sent prayerfully ( as I expected backlashes) to my friend last night, a few links exposing CS Lewis including the photo from your website which is brilliant exposure, praise Him but she is still claiming that he ” was truly a born again” ….. sending me his videos! It’s a principle: I don’t watch, read listen to CS Lewis and many others! The Bible is so rich in teachings, why do I need CS Lewis!? !?

My friend is a mature believer, born again believer for over 60-70 years and she cannot see it!

I had to use the VPN and duckduck search engine to get the website exposing CS Lewis, as in the UK, nothing will come up! Mostly of the Christians are bewitched by Narnia and Lord of the Rings! No wonder the country is in such a state of delusion! May the Lord have mercy!

Many blessings in His Name, V.”

CS LEWIS WAS A FRAUD – READ GOD’S WORD! REPENT AND GET IMPRESSED WITH THE LORD, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. IDOLATRY DAMNS!

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

Those who look to men, who receive un-biblical counsel instead of testing it against the Word of God, are trusting in mere man and have brought a curse upon themselves (Jeremiah 17:5-6; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). Those who look anywhere except to the LORD Himself are idolaters, are committing spiritual adultery, and will without exception depart from Him and be lost (v. 5). Their names “shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (v. 13). The phrase “written in the earth” is in contrast to their names being “written in heaven” (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23). Hell is in the bowels of the earth and that’s where every single person who is not looking wholly to the LORD will spend eternity (Revelation 20:11-15).

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Trusting Man is seen in the lives of many who claim to be saved and yet trust man’s medicine and counsel wholesale.

Let me get this straight, you pretend to be saved and yet run to some foolish sinner to get drugged for lack of peace or ability to sleep or depression. You are completely deceived and God is calling you to repent now. If you knew Him, would you not be trusting Him and not sinful mere men? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5).

Modern Sorcery Exposed

You’ve tried the CURSE and it never worked…. Are you ready to let CHRIST make you whole?

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert (spiritually dry, desolate), and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:5-14

Psychology/psychobabble, therapy from mere men, sinners…. is a scam, and leaves the victim without hope. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man’s core dilemma—which is sin! ANY person pointing you to a “THE-RAPIST” is demon inspired. They speak against the Word of God and are the child of the devil! See Colossians 2:6-10. SINNERS need the Savior—not some sinner with an indoctrination in the fine of art of applying bandages, never getting to the root. Repent now (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus alone can make a man whole! (Luke 4:18)

Man’s therapy and psychobabble are laughably insufficient and have never once gotten to the root issue of man’s dilemma which is sin. Jesus says that He “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Drugs and psychobabble are laughable mere band aids to rob unbelievers, gullible dupes of their money.

“Jesus Christ maketh thee whole”

Only One can make you whole—the One who made you and died and rose again for you.

“And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.” Acts 9:34

“Yep that’s me, the woman with the Alabaster box. And that is all I need—my alabaster box and Jesus! No need for meds or to be psycho-analyzed by some quack. One touch from Jesus is all I need! Just as the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was immediately healed! Luke 8: 43-48. One touch is all she needed.” Karen Cochran
