Many Christrians Are Unhappy. Why????

Beloved,

Apostolic greetings in the name of Him, who saves unto the utmost, even Jesus, The Christ of God. Please read Psalm 119:105 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 first of all before you read the rest of this write-up. I am full aware that there are tough days at work, trouble at home, and it never gets easier. Moreover, I am very much aware that as you grow older it can be tough to stay happy and upbeat with the challenges that life throws at you. But as I pray for you, I have few questions to ask you. Is it tough to enjoy time with friends and family? Are you able to focus and work hard? Do you ever feel unhappy?

The sad truth is that many Children of God struggle to stay happy. From King David to Apostle Paul as well as many others in the Bible, we have come to understand that a poor mood can wear and tear on your body leaving you feeling tired, drained, and empty inside. Unhappiness can damage your relationships, hurt family and friends, and make it tough to succeed. Everyday can be a struggle.

Living happy empowers you. It is imperative that a Christian live a better, more successful life. As such you ought to find yourself always playing with friends, eating dinner with your family, and feeling empowered. Moreover, you ought to find yourself motivated and achieving your goals. Beloved, you ought to have fun living the fulfilling, long life you deserve. You have, in Christ Jesus, the ability to achieve anything, but it's almost impossible without the right mindset, mood, and support.

We are in a spiritual war against our only known enemy Satan. Therefore, gaining and maintaining a positive mood can be hard. But a promising new discovery which is really the same old truth is bringing hope to as many as would hold on to it. "Mood Enhancement" has to be ONLY by a way to safely support your body's healthy, natural mental function by nourishing your body with vital nutrients of the Word of God and proven ingredients. Remember any treatment with Drug alters your brain's chemistry and never a safe natural way for adults to feel better and live happier. But when you learn to use the raw Word of God - just like it is:

Helps ease effects of stress and anxiety
Promotes a positive mood and live happier
Support healthy, natural mental function
Makes enjoying times with friends and family
Live a happier, more active life

The daily dosage of at least 20 Minutes of Morning & Evening personal devotion (concentrating in prayers with only one of the promises of God from any part of the Bible that guarantees victory over every negative roots of Galatians 5: 19-21. Every found verse of the Scripture that fits into dealing with the acting out of these vices is just like taking two pills in the morning or evening. Within a few hours of your first dose you should start feeling the effects. Most people see gradual improvement over the first two weeks.

Rather than feeling drowsy or slow in the day, you would find that a single memorized verse for the day gently eases stress and anxiety as you keep speaking that verse out through out the day, while also helping you feel better. Copy out the Verse in a clip board or piece of glaring paper if you cannot memorize it. Keep reading it to yourself in the course of the Day. This sample takes a few days to take effect, but the results can be well worth it. Begin early everyday, first, with a personal devotion. Wake up bright and refreshed in the mornings. Then the strength to work hard, enjoy your day, and feel positive. This practice helps support your mood without side effects of drugs such as drowsiness or trouble sleeping. It is also non-habit forming that is negative but a habit-forming that is positive.

Write me about your experience after a three month trial of this consistent morning and evening personal devotion. Amen.

Maranatha.

In His Righteousness,

WHAT THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE OUGHT TO BE !!!

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17


This is one of the best verses that fitly defines what the Christian Marriage is all about and should be about. It is sobering to realize that one of the partners in a marriage RELATIONSHIP may be a thorn in the flesh of the other partner like in any human relationship whether it is even at work or in any ordinary human relationship. Has it dawned on you that you are another person's problem because of your particular personality? Christian marriage is no exception. The problem is, of course, each of us may be the problem, but unfortunately we make it somebody else's as well. It may be the person who has to live with you especially the one married to you, or work with you, or deal with you from time to time. You force that person to have to walk on eggshells around you. He or she loses sleep because of you. How does that make you feel? Well, it sobers me to my fingertips, knowing that I may very well be another person's thorn in the flesh.

Perhaps you are aware of your problem, but you say, "I can't help it. This is who I am." You have prayed about it often. But have you really tried to get help? You are never too old to learn as long as you want your problems solved.

So when you don't have a balanced personality, you have difficulty in getting along with people. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. You keep rubbing people the wrong way. Only Jesus had the perfect personality. He also has the perfect combination of self-confidence and care for others. That is the ideal person: having the balance of self-confidence, concern, and care for others.

If your personality is your thorn in the flesh, then you should admit it. Be thankful if you can see that you have a problem.

A personality problem is not necessarily sin especially in marriage. It is because you are a sinner that you have it, yes, for nobody is perfect. And yet there is a point at which a personality problem becomes sin: when you excuse it and justify it. If you say, "Well, that's just me," that's when it becomes sin. It is sinful when you excuse yourself and do nothing about it.

We all must be seriously become aware that Marriage carries along with it destructive habits, selfishness, low self-esteem, and an inability to communicate - all examples of the excess baggage we may bring into a marriage. Excess baggage causes problems because we start new relationships with emotional and relational weaknesses that prevent us from serving our spouses.
We begin to accumulate excess baggage because of the devastation brought to relationships and marriages by hardness of heart, a root cause for much of the world’s brokenness (Mark 3:5). Oftentimes the hardness of heart in past relationships damages us and provides the unhealthy patterns we bring to our marriages as excess baggage.

Sometimes there is no easily identifiable single sin that brings down a marriage. Instead, a marriage weighed down by the excess baggage of unhealthy, sinful attitudes reaches a tipping point and the relationship is crushed.

Even in the best of marriages, each spouse brings wrong attitudes and unrealistic expectations learned in the developing years. Children who experience a home with addiction, physical abuse or divorce face higher hurdles in having healthy relationships of their own. Statistically, at least one marriage partner today will come from a divorced family.

Even if it’s done unintentionally, people who are hurt tend to hurt others. Unless we break the cycles and patterns of brokenness in our relationships, we’ll only make things worse. The good news is that there is hope.

Prayer joined with professional and pastoral counseling can help us work through our excess baggage that hinders us so that we can develop healthy relationships. Husbands and wives each bring problems into relationships. We can all admit the simple fact that “I’ve got problems. You’ve got problems… All God’s children got problems.” With this honesty and a soft heart, we don’t have to spend the rest of our lives weighed down by our baggage—no matter how much of it we have

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

A prophet is vindicated and his message authenticated by the fulfillment of his predictions. (In other words) there are definite laws governing predictive prophecy.

Here are the three laws:

1. An accurate prediction must be beyond the power of human foresight or sagacity. In other words, forecasts based on any observable (natural) trends are ruled out. This means that prophesying an obvious or common future event does not constitute a true predictive prophecy. For example, predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow morning is not in any way a prediction. It is a statement of fact. No foreknowledge from the Holy Spirit was required.

2. An accurate prediction must contain a sufficient number of specific details to preclude guesswork. Generalizations do not fit the norm of real predictive prophecy. The more accurate and fulfilled details there are in a prophecy, the greater the likelihood the prediction was truly from God.

3. A sufficient time must elapse between the prediction and its fulfillment to prevent any agency of the prophet or his contemporaries from bringing about the results. An accurate prophecy gains strength and momentum by itself over time until the season for its fulfillment. In this sense, time is the great test of all predictive prophecy. True predictive prophecy comes to pass OVER TIME, and inaccurate predictive prophecy fails to come to pass OVER TIME.

Want to know whether a predictive prophecy is from God? Give it time!

Please join me as we work together to maintain Biblical integrity in prophetic ministry. Let's make sure we continually follow up on any prophetic predictions we give. This is the responsibility of all prophetic ministers.

Hope this helps and to God be the glory,
