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.
“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
Jesus 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.).
“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

Young’s Literal Translation YLT Exposed
by Will Kinney
Anyone who tries to pawn off Young’s “literal” translation as being the infallible words of God simply does not know what he is talking about. It is not even a good translation. It is little more than a passing footnote in the ever changing panorama of perverted bible versions that have come and gone over the years.
There is only one Bible that has stood the test of time and its critics. There is only one Bible that is believed and defended by thousands of Bible believers today as being the true “book of the LORD”- the Authorized King James Holy Bible – celebrating over 400 years of being THE Bible of the English speaking people.
Let’s compare a bit:
One that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it was 1 Kings 18:21.
Here we read in the KJB: “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long HALT YE BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.”
But Youngs “literal” has: “and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `TILL WHEN ARE YE LEAPING ON THE TWO BRANCHES? — if Jehovah [is] God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;’ and the people have not answered him a word.”
—————
Here is the YLT telling us Jesus had to be saved which would mean He was a sinner:
Zechariah 9:9 KJB – “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, AND HAVING SALVATION; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”
Youngs – “Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — AND SAVED IS HE, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.”
—————
Acts 11:26 KJB – “And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.”
Young’s 1898 – “the disciples also WERE DIVINELY CALLED first in Antioch Christians.”
The KJB and almost every other Bible reads: “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.
—————
Youngs’ “literal” has many examples of mind-boggling, ridiculous readings as well.
In Psalms 141:7 we read: “Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when ONE CUTTETH AND CLEAVETH WOOD upon the earth.
But in Youngs we see: Psalm 141:7 “As ONE TILLING AND RIPPING UP THE LAND, Have our bones been scattered AT THE COMMAND OF SAUL.” (Say What?)
—————
1 Samuel 25:22 “So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that PISSETH AGAINST THE WALL.” (Green – “urinates against the wall.”)
But Young has: “thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of THOSE SITTING ON THE WALL.”

Apostasy
Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]
“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal
Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).
—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.
Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14
“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran
From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.
Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.
“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf
When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution
“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira
Revelation 2:20-24
Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Then I thought the very next person I see I will make it a point to smile and look them in the eyes. But sadly the next person was on his phone. The connection with each other has been lost. And do people even realize it? No it doesn’t seem like it! Their phones now consume their lives.” Karen Cochran
