Fireproof your marriage

Posted on May 26, 2013 by achristianwalkinfaith

Practice patience on a daily basis toward your significant other. Being impatient can cause your partner to feel that you are overly critical, demanding and volatile. Impatience can also turn a minor, insignificant issue into a heated argument. Patience, on the other hand, neutralizes a situation and allows both parties to find their grounding before a situation spirals out of control. Your partner will appreciate it when you him room to make mistakes without turning each incident into a federal case.

Compliment your spouse frequently. After being married for years and spending every day with one another, you can easily overlook the traits and qualities you admire about your spouse and instead focus on her shortcomings. Whether you love your wife’s smile or admire her commitment and dedication to a cause, vocalize it! Complimenting your spouse is a simple and easy way to keep the fire burning in your marriage.

Make your marriage a priority. After a couple has settled into married life, careers, children, extended family members and hobbies can prevent them from spending quality time with one another. You must devote time, attention and energy to your marriage in order for it to thrive. Plan a weekly date night during which the two of you can enjoy each other’s company, have some fun and rediscover one another. During these dates, refrain from talking about decisions that have to be made, the children or financial issues. Simply enjoy being together

LORD looks at the heart

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things human beings look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

Drunkenness

Drunkenness Leads to Poverty

Proverbs 21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

Drunkenness leads to Woe (a miserable state), Sorrow, and Strife

Proverbs 23:29-30 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Drunkenness Leads to Contempt (no respect) for God.

Isaiah 5:11-12 11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Drunkenness Overcharges (weighs down) the Heart and Causes One to be Unaware of the Realities of Life

Luke 21:34 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (weighed down) with surfeiting (giddiness), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Drunkenness Takes Away (captures) the Heart

Hosea 4:10-11 10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD. 11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

Drunkenness Will Mock You, It will Laugh at You, and It will Deceive the Foolish.

Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Drunkenness is a Work of the Flesh

Galatians 5:19-21 19 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.

Be Not Drunk but Be Filled With The Spirit

Ephesians 5:18-19 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess (a wasted life); but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Drunkenness Excludes from Heaven

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

God sees and understands alcoholism and gives us understanding so that we may be free of this life controlling condition.

Alcoholism is ultimately a moral issue; a heart problem. The good news is that God in His goodness has given us answers for moral issues. He sets us free from sinful lifestyles by putting His Spirit within us. We are a new creation of God’s Spirit and the result is that we now have the power to defeat our old habits. Salvation is not only a justifying work but also a sanctifying work.

Be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure.

Call Upon Our Lord!

There are times in my life that I wonder why I am being tested on certain things.  Last week I had to go for re-certification for my CPR license.  Now any other time I have needed to go it didn’t phase me.  This time was different..I remember when work called me and told me what time and where I needed to go.  It has been busy and the reality of that whole phone conversation didn’t register in my head until the night before.  The CPR class was being held at the same place my mom took her last breath.  We had brought mom home to live us shortly after she was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer.  Her morphine pump had ran out and we couldn’t get it filled because the pump itself had expired.  So the Hospice nurse had suggested that we have her taken to the Hospice home so they could give her medication that would help mom with her morphine withdraw.
The night before being scheduled to go for my class I laid in bed crying and debating on just leaving my job because I didn’t want to walk through the very doors that I had to say goodbye to my mom at.  The enemy was on my shoulder playing on my weakness pushing me to just give up.  Laying there the visions of my mom suffering and the memories we had shared running through my head.  I miss my mom and I grieve the loss.  Sometimes I feel I’m going through life with a smile on my face putting up a brave front when deep inside I just long for my mom.  Working in the Health Care field where we go into homes providing care to those with Dementia, Cancer, Brain injury the list goes on and on.  With our goal to provide comfort and give them the opportunity to remain in there own homes.  You might think after awhile it would become easier.
I have always believed that when we went into a persons home I wanted to provide the care they deserved with respect and dignity and in a manner that I would want my own family cared for.  The table had turned and it was now about my family..my mom..never once did I think twice about bringing her into our home and providing care for her.  She is my mom and no matter what my childhood was like it didn’t matter because she wasn’t that person anymore and I had forgiven her.  So Wednesday night as the enemy is trying to play on my weakness I started praying and crying out to our Lord.
The next morning as I drove up to the building the last thing I said as I got out of the car is..”Ok Jesus lets do this!”
Psalm 31:1-3,24
In You, O LORD, I put my trust;Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.Bow down Your ear to me,Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
It is not that I didn’t feel anything when I walked through those doors.  It’s not that I still didn’t have the enemy tempting me to turn around and leave.  However I had something more powerful and beautiful working within me ..Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  Pulling me through and showing me that I have grown in my Christian walk.  Before I probably would of given into the temptation of the enemy and given up but not this time.   Sometimes when we don’t believe in ourselves our heavenly Father does.  Our test can be to show us we are stronger than our enemy because we have our Faith.  We are clothed in the Armor of God.
Mothers Days is fast approaching.  It will be the first one that I wont be sharing with my mom in the physical form.  I hear her voice and will still grieve but most of all I hope that people around the world that read this understand that we are not guaranteed a tomorrow.  Our God says to honor our Father and thy Mother.  If you are consumed with resentment, anger who is right and who is wrong attitude you will miss out on the blessing God has given each of us.  We should take time each day to show honor and respect towards our parents and share the love with each person we come in contact with as we are commanded to do with a Christ like heart.  It is not how we as Christians see the world but how the world see’s us.
I may not always like the test that are put before me and sometimes wonder how much more can I take!  But I need to remember that for me if God is testing me there is a reason.  It is not for me to question because in the end  it makes me stronger and wiser as a Christian.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the love you give me.  Thank you for the test you put before me and I pray each day I will not disappointment you but that your strength that dwells inside me will pull me through.  I pray that when I do fall I will continue to get back up and face each day knowing I am not alone.  That I am stronger then the enemy because the Holy Spirit is within me. Lord thank you for the sacrifice you made for us.  Thank you for blessing me Father with my mom.  I love her and miss her each day but I know she is not suffering anymore and is in a better place.  I love you Father..Amen.
