The Beauty of Marriage—God’s Way

PRAYER TO THANK GOD! Pray this . . . Jesus, we thank YOU for YOUR creation and every aspect of it! Thank You for bringing people together for YOUR purposes! Thank YOU, Father, for bringing my parents together with myself as the fruit of that relationship. In the name of Jesus, amen.

SAINTS: If you want to have sex—that’s good—yet God says to get married and enjoy it in that context only! Read 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. The world of sinners says, “Get a room” (fornicate). God says for us to get married, and then and only then will we be able to enjoy His blessings with a clear conscience and glorify Him therein. (See 1 Corinthians 7:1-5; Colossians 3:1-7.) Eternal damnation awaits all fornicators and adulterers (Revelation 21:8).

Sex is of divine design and for 1 man and 1 woman in their own privacy. Without exception, every fornicator, adulterer is going to the lake of fire irrevocably (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

ALL sex outside of the marriage between one man and one woman is fornication.

The LORD spells out in detail what He considers unlawful sexual relations. Put on your seatbelt. Read Leviticus 18. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) Any sex outside of a married MAN and his wife, a WOMAN, is fornication. Soul damning. It doesn’t matter what you think. Your opinion is less than zero in the eyes of a holy God. Repent now and follow Jesus or perish.

ALL sex outside of the marriage between one man and one woman is sin, fornication.

Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism, and sex before marriage are NOT under grace – Never have been, never will be. God doesn’t bless or justify what He calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8). Repent now sinner – or you are going to hell for calling your Maker a liar!

The word “fornication” appears 36 times in the King James Bible while the new fake “bibles” use the words “sexual immorality.” The King James Bible, as usual, uses the correct word, “fornication”, and not “sexual immorality” as “sexual immorality” can be defined any way the individual chooses. False “Bibles” Exposed

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed (Gr. coitus, intercourse) undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. ~ Hebrews 13:4

True followers of Jesus are not being conformed to the ways of this sinful world, but rather to Christ:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Romans 12:1-2

In a world where Satan seeks to turn everyone against everyone else—including the daring idiocy of turning males and females against each other—we should be thankful today for the creativity of God in His creation. “So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he them” (Genesis 1:27).

Concerning the laws of evil men who attempt to redefine the family unit as originally designed by our Maker, William Pavichevich writes:

While those who pass these bills and legislations, their paper money is meaningless to God and even us, because so long as we have the truth in us, and stand for the truth, nothing these politicians can pass, will amount to anything in the long run.

We must allow God to define marriage by hearkening to the full counsel of His Word in this matter and never allow the fallen world to define anything in our minds. We are Christ’s—bought with the price of His very blood and set apart to glorify Him alone. (Read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; 6:14-7:1.)

When a couple was asked how they managed to stay together for 65 years, the woman replied, “We were born in a time where if something was broke, you fixed it . . . not throw it away.”

Sex in and of itself is not a sin . . . when practiced and enjoyed within holy matrimony as God has designed. All sex outside of that marital bond between a man and a woman is sin. So, God says “Don’t lust, get married.” (See 1 Corinthians 7:1-5.)

God Has Called Us to Holiness

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. ² For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: ⁴ That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵ Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: ⁶ That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. ⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. ⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

One Flesh

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ~ Genesis 2:24

Jesus says the man/husband and woman/wife “shall be one flesh.” Last time I checked, God used a man and a woman—and the attraction He put between them—to bring them together, right?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ~ Matthew 19:6

Jesus told us that only God himself can join a man and woman together in marriage—and that means that man (the State) has nothing to do with it, and can only witness this work of God, beginning at the wedding. Man seeks to insert himself into this holiest of all relationships on earth to poison it. Beware. A piece of paper (marriage certificate) does not marry anyone. Only God can do that!

For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? ⁶ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ~ Matthew 19:5-6

Genesis 24 Anyone?

Romance was undeniably created by the LORD. He made Eve for Adam, right? He inspired the book of Song of Solomon. It’s sin and the lust of people’s hearts that perverts this gift, and yet the gift is not a sin in and of itself. God expects men and women to be attracted to each other, and for His born-again men—to act toward His most beautiful creature, women, with holiness. God also has ordained and expects women to dress modestly so as not to unduly tempt men, because the woman’s femininity is for that one man whom God has ordained her to be with (1 Timothy 2:9; Luke 17:1-2).

And the LORD God said, It is NOT good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ~ Genesis 2:18

God is Unchanging (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17)

God has ordained that a man and a woman be together as he has defined it. In light of this obvious truth, is it not interesting, and by no accident, that He speaks of “the washing of water by the Word” in the midst of the passage at the end of Ephesians 5 where He speaks of His Bride? Do we not have need of the truth—to wash our minds of all notions that are not pure—purely from His blessed, holy Word?

The LORD depicts His relationship to His people as Himself being the Bridegroom and His people being His bride, who are to dwell with Him in a sanctified manner “not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-33).

Two are Better than One (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

There are some flat out stupid mindsets among us like the so-called Puritans and other groups which do not exemplify divine holiness but rather put the performance of law upon themselves, so they can congratulate themselves and receive the honor in lieu of Christ. Flesh cannot bring about God’s holiness. Such is “the spirit of antichrist” which replaces Christ with the false, phony god of self. Only Christ can bring about “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-25).

Remember that Paul spoke of “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-25), which means that there is a false form of holiness that masquerades itself as righteous—when in the eyes of God, it is evil. False holiness is man-imposed “holiness” which is nonsense.

May God grant us “the spirit of holiness” and evict every trace of philosophy and all false notions of what holiness is, as He alone can define (Romans 1:4).

A man and his wife are to be set apart to the LORD as He has designed, not according to man’s version of “holiness”—which is sinful because it emphasizes the OUTSIDE of the cup—the appearance—and doesn’t deal with the sinful INSIDE of their cup —the heart— (Matthew 23:23-25).

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. ²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. ~ Ephesians 5:25-33

Romance, the attraction between male and female, is undeniably by divine design. Just because sinful, fallen mankind has perverted such a blessed gift does not make it okay for God’s people to shun it and to look at it as something mundane, dull, or evil. No, as God’s people, we should aggrandize marriage as a blessing from the LORD and demonstrate exactly how the LORD designed things to work—to bring Him glory. It’s the stewardship, the use of that attraction and gift, that the LORD looks at—beginning with our attitude, our perspective of it.

The attraction between male and female is not a sin—it’s the design of our Maker. The misuse of such an attraction (lust) is a sin. The context of marriage is where that attraction is to culminate and fully be expressed (1 Corinthians 6:12). Such glorifies God.

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ~ Titus 1:15

Keeping one’s body “under” (the daily cross) is the key to experiencing all of Christ’s blessings both now and forever:

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:27

Elisabeth Elliot wrote:

Of all things difficult to rule, none were more so than my will and affections.

We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies to ourselves.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love him

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You alone created all that is. Your crowning creation is mankind. LORD You made Adam, breathed the breath of life into him, and then created Eve out of his side. Jesus, You gave me the desire to be joined together with one of the opposite sex. Please bring that person and me together, and meanwhile, set us apart in holiness for Your glory. Teach my heart that we are complete and content in Christ. Purify our hearts. Wash and cleanse and prepare us to glorify You alone in all we do. Thank You Father that in Your time, You make all things beautiful! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Roles of Men and Women are Intentionally Unique and Complimentary [podcast]

WE LIVE IN A ROLE CORRUPTED SOCIETY – YET WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE HOLY AND DIFFERENT If God is going to be glorified in a marriage, both parties MUST come to serve – in the specific God-ordained, stated roles of the husband and wife. Study them. Bow and worship the Almighty to whom we shall each and all give full account of our lives (Romans 14:10; Hebrews 9:27, etc.). Fresh repentance. God’s not going to judge the man for doing the role of the woman but rather for the role of the man. And God is not going […]

Your Prayer and Prep for a Godly Mate

IF a person is not learning the cross – learning to walk the crucified life – should you be entertaining marrying them? Attempting to put a relationship together that is not absolutely ordained of God – is a death trap that will take you places you don’t want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. Years of derailment lie in such a trap and Satan is stalking and setting those traps to snare you (2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Peter 5:8). The enemy has sunk many a ship, a […]

God's Word on Divorce with Pastor Tim Tyler [video]

1. THINK YOU HAVE MDR FIGURED OUT? 2. GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT MDR (MARRIAGE. DIVORCE. REMARRIAGE)? LISTEN to this. See video below. This truth absolutely infuriates what I called the Diabolical Divorce Dictators ….. complete devils who go around telling married people lies such as….. to leave their spouse and go back to their first spouse… something God specifically forbids (Deuteronomy 24:4). God calls this an “abomination.” Beware of these demonic operatives. “Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and […]

Humility. Surrender. Sobriety. Restoration. Vigilance. [podcast]

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” 1 Peter 5:6-10

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16

“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:24-26

May God bless you and I with this child-like disposition, heart! Please do it in us dear LORD, in Jesus’ name.

7 Sayings of Jesus on the Cross [podcast]

What Final Statements Did Jesus Make on the Cross and What Did They Mean? Our LORD Jesus Christ said 7 things while as He was offering His body and precious, sinless blood to buy us back to God. He was suffering for the sins of mankind and for no sin of His own (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 3:18). He was shedding His blood to Re-deem (buy us back) and that’s what Jesus did for “the whole world” when He died on the cross, was buried, and raised again from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 2:2).

The Prayer Life of Jesus [podcast]

Prayer is communion, communing with God. Those who earnestly seek God in prayer, who earnestly seek to know Him and to fulfill His will for their temporary lives in this world…. will glorify Him here and to be with Him eternally. What do we learn from the prayer life of our LORD Jesus? “Luke 5:16 PRAYERS OF JESUS. Luke stresses more than the other gospels the place of prayer in the life and work of Jesus. When the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at the Jordan, He was ‘praying’ (3:21), at times He withdrew from the multitudes ‘and prayed (5:16); […]

Idolatry

THE SIN, THE CURSE, AND THE FRUIT OF IDOLATRY [podcast]

“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 26:1

Idolatry will damn the eternal soul to hell (Exodus 20:3-7; Galatians 5:19-21, etc.). Just one idol. ANYthing that is more important to you than Jesus Christ is an idol. You must repent and receive Christ or you will perish in the flames of eternal damnation (Luke 13:3; John 1:12). If you aren’t willing to give up your religion to follow Jesus, you are a hell bound idolater who has chosen to pay for your own sins for eternity in hell.

God will not be worshipped by physical objects, idols. Jesus says:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

2 Corinthians 5:16 says “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” This verse, this divine truth has helped me out much. God forbids any attempt to worship Him through, via any images, anything physical (Exodus 20:3-7). According to this Bible verse, we do not even know Jesus after the flesh.

Jesus stated the divine essential, the non-negotiable imperative that “they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).

17 Soul Damning Sins

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 IDOLATRY, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21

“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:14-16

IDOL’ATRY, noun [Latin idololatria. Gr. idol, and to worship or serve.]

1. The worship of idols, images, or any thing made by hands, or which is not God.

Idolatry is of two kinds; the worship of images, statues, pictures, etc. made by hands; and the worship of the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon and stars, or of demons, angels, men and animals.

2. Excessive attachment or veneration for any thing, or that which borders on adoration.

from Websters1828

Anything you refuse to give up for Jesus is your idol.

Any person who will not give up their religion to follow Jesus is a hell bound antichrist idolater.

The Stark Contrast between True and False Worship

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

Whatever you won’t give up for Jesus is a soul damning idol (Mark 9:43-49).

The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and He requires non-negotiably that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB. They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him, as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross and follow, abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).

The cross message of Christ and His holy apostles is not a novel concept, idea, or mere suggestion but rather it is a non-negotiable essential component of the original Gospel.

Recently, I ran across a comment by a person who wrote: “A cross (or crucifix, picture, statute, etc.) is not idolatry so long as it leads the person to worship God, and not the object itself.”

Is this true? No. This is pure human reasoning and a denial of the Word of God. As you can tell, this person commenting was most likely catholic. Speaking of the catholic church, they removed the second commandment because it was costing them money. The 2nd commandment says:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6

God is not and will not be worshipped through images. In fact only Satan receives worship when images are used (Exodus chapter 20; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21). Satan is the entity who received worship when someone does that which God forbids….

Committing the sin of Idolatry yokes you with devils.

“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.” Deuteronomy 32:17

Making Peace with God

Upholding Jesus, the Only Head of His Body [podcast]

YOUR first thought when you hear “God” or “Christianity” should be JESUS! Not some church, pastor, or church program! The ministry continually receives emails from people who have latched on to some mere man, his personality – instead of worshipping Christ supremely (Colossians 2:18-19). And in doing so, they defend those mere men angrily, doggedly, having never stopped to put them to the biblical test. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 “Not everything is at it seems. Their […]

Devils and Inanimate Objects? [podcast]

ANY person attempting to worship God or gain favor or blessings via any physical image is an antichrist – one who has put something, anything before, in place of the living Savior – and is an idolater and has no part in Christ’s kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.). Symbols are images…. and God will not be worshipped via any devil-inspired man-made image. “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan (Egyptian idol), figures (pocket idol) which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” Acts 7:43 Idol […]

No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast]

So you don’t do anything for anyone except yourself and yet you claim to be saved? Nah. Real repentance, will always, with no exception, bring for a new life, the life of Christ, full of fruit that bears witness to His lordship in that life (Matthew 3:7-10).

Of Isaiah’s repentance and preparation to be used of God, one writer notes:

“This phrase is a powerful, timeless prayer for spiritual readiness and a willing heart to serve. It echoes the beautiful biblical passage from Isaiah 6:8, where Isaiah responds to God’s call saying, “Here am I; send me.”

WHEN you ask God to use you, get ready, He’s going to do it. He’s going to prepare and launch you into His fields which are “white already to harvest” (John 4:34-38).

Sometimes I’ve been through seasons of testing, chastening, stripping, purging, etc., not remembering I had prayed for the LORD to prepare and send me. Then it would dawn on me and all began to make sense. God is able. Memorize 2 Timothy 2:21 KJB.

When the LORD appeared to him, the prophet Isaiah was shown his own depravity, his own wicked heart, his own unpreparedness. What was his response and how does this relate to us?

Are you ready this day to say “Jesus please prepare and use me mightily for Your eternal glory! I love You LORD. I am all Yours! Please do Your deeper work in this life You gave!”?

One must be prepared by God to be used by God.

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

To the degree that we allow God to prepare us, to that degree shall He powerfully use us. The cross. The only way up is down beloved.

Is today your day to surrender afresh? John 3:30, Colossians 3:3 anyone?

Prepared by God to be Used of God (category)

Regrettably, most professing Christians will never love Jesus enough to give up this fleeting world for Heaven’s coming King (Luke 14:33; 17:33).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command, and also “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:2,5).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please. He didn’t instruct us to entertain or to tell stories. He commanded us to preach HIS Word. King James Bible.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

Are you daily devouring God’s Word, OR are you backsliding?

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

God Visits Isaiah

If we’re not talking about the holiness of the one true God—that He is “Holy, holy, holy” —what false god are we speaking of?

Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Calling/Vision of the Lord

“1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”

In Your process of preparing this vessel, when needed, please “Let the righteous smite me….” (Psalms 141:5).

HAVE YOU ever prayed this prayer? Do you want to be a man after God’s own heart like David? (Acts 13:22) If so, you must emulate the beloved David and pray this prayer!

“There is no better test of a man’s ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong.” — G.K. Chesterton

IF you are not a DOER of God’s Word, it proves you are not saved, and are a lukewarm hell bound rebel. Repent now and bring forth fruit to prove it (Matthew 3:7-10; 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4; Revelation 2:26, etc.).

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

May I be a doer of Your Word dear LORD. Let it be, in Jesus’ name.

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
