Where does your wife fit. This is good advice for men. Often they want a traditional wife who cooks, cleans, looks after the house and children.
Life values change from country to country. This article doesn’t even address if you want children. Getting a wife is good but if you want children choose carefully.
When choosing a woman who works, you have to accept that she can’t handle the house.
*If you have chosen a housewife who can take care of you and manage your home completely, you must accept that she doesn’t earn money.
If you choose an obedient woman, you must accept that she depends on you and you must secure her life.
*If you decide to be with a strong woman, you have to accept that she is tough and has her own opinion..
If you choose a beautiful woman, you will have to accept great expenses.
If you decide to be with a successful woman, you must understand that she has character and has her own goals and ambitions.
Perfect doesn’t exist. Everyone has their own enigma, which makes us unique.
Jesus disciples were arguing among themselves who was the greatest. Jesus took a little child and said, however becomes like one of these will be greatest in the kingdom of God…
We need the Holy Spirit to guide one in the midst of the complexities of life.
I heard that storm Gerrit was going to hit the east coast of Ireland today. I went for a drive to Whitehead north of Belfast to see if there were any big waves. At full tide waves were breaking over the promenade.
Glenco Waterfall is about ten miles away. I wanted to check it out.
The waves and the thunder of the waterfall reminded me of some verses I read s few days ago.
Revelation 14 v 2
And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders.
Psalm 93
The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength; indeed, the world is established, firm and secure. 2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. 3 The seas have lifted up, Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. 4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the Lord on high is mighty.
Thank all of you who read my recent blog. I am reminded tonight of a question my father asked me about my children when they were young at home and going to school.
Why are your children not sick? Normally children when they go back to school pick up various germs and viruses which leaves them with a cold or flu. They have to take a few days off school to get better. As the depth of winter arrives, the dark cold days can sap one’s strength. My children seldom missed school. They were healthy throughout the winter.
I told my dad that we believe that God will keep us in good health. If our children are sick we pray for them and that they get well.
So for anyone reading this who have children that come down with every infection that is going around. Don’t expect or accept sickness. Rebuke all disease in Jesus name, take some honey and lemon, a good night’s sleep and all will be well.
That is how I believed and received health in our family.
You haven’t heard from me for some weeks . My daughter challenged me tonight. “Have you written any blogs recently? You need to write about all your difficulties! Tell about the bad times as well as the good. “
In my last blog, six weeks ago I wrote about waging war against the principalities in heavenly places. I use the name and the power of the blood of Jesus to defeat Satan who comes to rob, steal and destroy. Well Brendan and I have been through a war since.
Brendan was admitted to hospital for tests. He got home again and is doing well. At the time our children were very conserned.
A few days later I fell and fractured a bone in my right knee. I have had a full plaster on my right leg for the past six weeks. I have been confined to bed for most of the days since.
My husband and family have had to look after me. Brendan has been my carer mainly, bringing breakfast and meals. He didn’t get much time to be pampered after his hospital visit. I appreciate their love and generosity. My neighbours are conserned. Back in September I was outside hosing the back alley.
I have had mixed feelings over the past weeks, depressed, frustrated and weak with sleepless nights. We had to cancel two trips, one to Slovakia and another to Greece. Instead of rest in the sun I have had rest In my bed!!
In hindsight all things have worked together for good. Brendan and I have been home to be with our son who needed our help and the knock on affect on the rest of our family. One of our grandchildren is facing surgery.
A friend of ours was in Israel when the war broke out. Thank God she got another flight home after her own flight was cancelled. Life is changing for me but also for the nations. There are wars and earthquakes as Jesus foretold. It is distressing to hear of war casualties.
I was reading a note I made earlier in the year. It goes “One can’t get through crises without God. “. I can say for sure I couldn’t have got through the recent storms without God. All our family have been affected. When one suffers we all suffer. We were not left without encouragement. Friends or family would call.
I was comforted in the night as I read from the scriptures promises of healing and restoration. I listened to a song by ian White. From it I heard the words “there is holy ground to walk upon, there is work for you to do, limbs will be made strong again. “
It is at times like this I hold on to prophetic words I have been given of hope and deliverance. These situations will pass. Faith is believing what you don’t yet see. God has helped Brendan and I in the past. He will help us again.
I told stories recently about a mother gull that was defending her young. That has been prophetic for Brendan and I. We are praying and defending our family from the attacks of Satan. We will be victorious over his attacks because Jesus is fighting our battles.
God gave me a promise earlier in the summer. I was reading about Jehosaphat the king of Israel. A great army was attacking . A prophet came and said don’t be afraid. The battle belongs to the Lord.
I will be healed, my husband will be healed, my son ‘s situation will be healed, my grandchild will be healed in Jesus name. There is suffering but there is healing in being a follower of Jesus. And Satan is defeated by the power of the cross.
I was reading a message on a praying What’s App group. It is an article on unforgiveness from a book written by June Newman Davies.
She writes “Firstly one needs to forgive from your heart anyone who has hurt you. Secondly one asks God to forgive the person who hurt you for what he did. Thirdly, ask God to forgive the one who is hurt and remove any unforgiveness.” I agree with what June writes.
In the prayer Jesus taught his disciples he said “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Jesus went on to his death to demonstrate what he was saying. He interceded with the Father to forgive us because we don’t know what we are doing.
Jesus died on the cross from his wounds. Every drop of blood trickled down from his head, his hands and his feet onto the clay of the earth. He said “Forgive them for they know not what they do.” Jesus released forgiveness to us, who are created from the clay of the earth.
When one knows the forgiveness of Jesus from one’s sins then Jesus asks us to forgive others. By forgiving someone who has hurt us we release ourselves from a spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment.
“Scientists” quotes Anne, “Show 98 per cent of diseases come from hurts one holds onto, caused by what others have said or done to us. These attitudes cause evil spirits to form a spirit of inforgiveness which causes a root of bitterness to grow up.”
I agree with Anne. I know the result of unforgiveness is disease. I had bitterness against others who hurt me. As I forgave them the cancer disappeared and I was healed from fourth stage cancer.
In 2 Corinthians verse 3 Paiul says, “We are human, but we don’t wage war with human plans and methods. We use God’s mighty weapons to knock down the devil’s strongholds. “
The devil takes advantage of any unforgiveness . If not released from this spirit other spirits come in bringing, anger, hatred and vengeance. These affect our blood. Our immune system is weakened. Diseases like, cancer, insomnia, diabetes, arthritis and others follow.
The good news is Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil. The Blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus are my weapons of warfare. I apply the blood of Jesus to every sin and sickness. The devil flees before the name and the power of the Blood of Jesus and healing follows.
Are you suffering today from disease. Receive the divine healing of Jesus by forgiving others.
It’s the first of September today. The Jewish new year starts around this time. The tradition is to look back on the past year with thanks to God and reflection on what didn’t go well. They look forward to a new year with no regrets and learn from their failings. They leave their burdens with The Lord, and enter into the new year with hope.
I agree with this outlook. Often we are weighed down with guilt and despair with ongoing problems not changing. We go to a counsellor. Our problems are regurgitated, and poured out to someone who is paid to listen. The failings are stamped deeper in one’s brain. They will resurface again in times of loneliness of stress.
We live in an age when mental illness is rife. Waiting rooms in hospitals are filled with distressed people, physically and emotionally, waiting for hours to be seen by a doctor.
Why not spend thirty minutes to an hour in a Church. It will be more fruitful than ten hours in a hospital waiting room or weeks attending a counsellor.
God promises to be with His people. Where two or three are gathered He is present. You may meet someone there to share your problems with. It will not cost any money. When we tell our failings to God like the Jews God forgives and doesn’t remember them any more. The problem can be one doesn’t forgive oneself and chews over the situation.
Have this mentality. Release the ingrained thoughts of failures and remember them no more. God doesn’t remember them so why should you.
Do not Doubt that Jesus died and is alive today to heal you.
Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
You may not see Jesus but blessed are you who believe yet have not seen.
It is said that Thomas later went to India. His influence can be seen in Kerala the most Christian state in all of India.
Today Jesus will meet you where you don’t believe. Ask him to reveal himself to you again. Thomas did believe in Jesus before. But had turned away because Jesus had left. If you once believed in Jesus return and Jesus will bring you forward.
When the doctor examined me he found a nine cm tumour in my bowel. There is a team of cancer medical staff who decide what is the best treatment for a patient. They decided to give me five weeks of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to reduce the tumour. Then they would operate to remove the tumour and cut away part of my bowel and insert a stoma to remove waste.
I was invited to the hospital to talk about my operation. The kind nurses showed me how to use a stoma, and tried to reassure me that many people adapt to using a stoma. I was not convinced. I didn’t want an operation to open me up and leave me with a hole there. I thought back to the story of Thomas in the bible.
Jesus had been crucified and His followers were afraid the Romans would come looking for them. They were hiding in an upper room. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
I believe the words of scripture that says By his stripes I am healed. Isaiah 53. Jesus had a wound in His side big enough for a man’s hand to fit in. He died on the cross to heal my disease.
I prayed Lord Jesus you were pierced for my transgression. A soldier opened up your side with his sword and water gushed out. You took my pain and disease so I can be healed and not have an operation to open up my side. I received faith to believe I would be healed and not need an operation.
Four months later a doctor examined me. The tumour was gone and I didn’t need an operation. Praise God. Like the woman who had an issue of blood and touched Jesus I was healed by the power of God. You too can be healed by believing in Jesus like Thomas.
You may not see Jesus but blessed are you who believe yet have not seen.
I was watching two programmes about people who had cancer here in the UK. One was about Dame Deborah James. She fought cancer with the help of the latest treatment, drugs, the love of her family and doing things that brought her joy. She campaigned for five years before her death advocating for others to get tested early for cancer. She set up a fund to raise money to help patients with cancer. It raised one million in the first twenty four hours. She was courageous to the end.
The other programme was about research using Car T-cell treatment. Dr Martin leads the research and speaks in his programme , War in the blood, a cure for cancer. The treatment helped his patients initially using the patients own blood cells that attack disease in the blood. But the cancer cells mutated. The patients’ new cells became ineffective.
All the families involved shared their journey on camera, their hopes, fears and sadness.
I am so grateful to be alive after having fourth stage bowel cancer. The doctors and nursing staff treated me with tender love and care each time I attended hospital. They knew what I faced in having cancer.
My family and others prayed for me. I believe that Jesus heals today. In the past before the development of science to treat diseases, people who were sick went to church for prayer. Scripture says call the elders. They will anoint you with oil and you will be healed.
James 5 v 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
These words are not my own. These words are inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell people the truth. Jesus is the way, truth and the life. God is not dead. He does not change. He is the same God yesterday and forever. His word gives us guidelines how to live. The prayers of others healed me.
Seek Him and you will find Him. The God who healed me created the heavens and the earth. I include a photo taken of a display of beauty over Alaska taken by Todd Sinard.
Is anyone sick among you or do you know someone who is sick? Then read on.
When you go to the doctor he gives you medicine for your sickness. ( that is if you can get to see him) You trust him, you take the medicine he prescribes.
Here is some good news for your healing. It is free. Jesus healed you when he shed his blood on the cross over 2000 years ago. Believe me and trust me and trust God. He is the truth and he will not let you down.
The word of God is medicine. Take it daily like the doctor tells you to take your medicine daily. Be patient. He healed me from 4 th stage cancer in four months. The tumour disappeared. I did not have an operation.
Easter is the time we remember that Jesus died on the cross. His tomb is empty, he rose from the dead. He is alive. Talk to Him. He is not deaf, he is not blind to your distress, he is not dumb. He speaks.
By the stripes of Jesus you are healed. I’m telling you for your healing say “By the stripes of Jesus I am healed.” You may not see or feel any change but as you keep saying these words daily the power of God is activated to perform your healing. The signs of your healing will follow. It is by faith in Jesus you are healed. Let me know how you are.
Pray and say
Acts 4:30 Father, stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
