A Prayer from The Watchman Wife

Nov29

I am praying, fasting, and meditating for marriages and relationships between A man and A woman. Relationships that are leading to marriages and marriages that are of the LORD; same sex marriages are not of the Most High Yah our LORD. And, I am not praying for boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, or this is my man or my woman relationships where you are fornicating and one or the other have hurt your feelings. If you are courting under accountability of someone who is spiritually reputable in the Holy Ghost, this is for you. ALLELUIA!

Father Elohim, whenever we communicate with our spouse, help us to uphold the priority of our marriage; allowing no other relationship to weaken ours. LET the word “divorce” never be formed on our tongue and never pronounced with our lips. LET it never be considered as a viable option, knowing that it strikes terror in the heart, fear and anger in the mind, and anxiety to our souls. And, it grieves Your Holy heart.

LET US always, in all of our conversations, uphold the oneness of our marriage, understanding that what affects one always affects the other. LET US allow open and honest communication, encourage vulnerability and authenticity. LET US never be guilty of breaking each other’s spirit. ALLELUIA! Rather, may we affirm and strengthen one another so that TOGETHER we can endure any weakness, any failure and not lose hope.

Father Elohim, help us to sharpen our communication skills. Teach us to communicate with our eyes-to convey our delight in the each other’s presence, to say, “I love you,” to LET our loved one know even in a crowded room, “You’re special to me.” Remind us to give each other the gift of our full attention when we talk.

Teach us to respond to what is said so that our mate knows he or she is being heard. Help us to keep a confidence, to build a “wall of trust” so that we are free to share all that is in our hearts. And as we listen, LORD, help us to avoid giving quick or pat answers. Help us to listen patiently. Remind us that even though our loved one does not always want advice we are bound to impart wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Although sometimes we just want to be heard; to say it, and to get it off our chest, LET US be receptive to receiving what we need and not just getting what we want.

In the name Jesus, Son of God, name we pray. Amen.

LOVE Is Not A Feeling!

Nov7

“Love is not a feeling! Those who think that it is will also express selfishness. These are ‘two’ of many reasons why many marriages and relationships are failing i.e. selfishness and living like love is an emotion. Some BElieve that if you ‘are not feeling’ all giddy and bubbly that love is not alive. They have associated “I’m angry” with “I don’t love you.” Or, “You’ve pissed me off” has BEcome equivalent to “You don’t love me.” Or, “What you said hurt my feelings” has BEcome akin to “We just don’t love each other anymore.”

This is the world’s way of thinking and it is indisputably BOGUS. Love is not a feeling/emotion i.e. mad, angry, sad, blah, and frustrated. However, those emotions are produced by the LACK of love alive. Love is about patience, enduring, bearing, hoping, THINKING NO evil; it is kind and mature; it does not keep a tally of “this is what you did so that’s why I did what I did.”

When you BEcome your emotions, you enslave love. That is such an abject attitude. When you BEcome love, you have power over your emotions. Consequently, your feelings are managed by the higher court and judgment of what rules – YAH’s Love” (Smith, Angela M. 2012)!
