A Prayer from The Watchman Wife

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.

My Success Status

This morning was one of those few days, that comes and goes here and there, that I felt very lonely as a woman-lady.  While gathering myself together, out of the darkness of this world the voice of the thief attempted to persuade me that the reason I have challenges in achieving sum total success is because I’m unmarried.  I told the thief, “That is a lie from your daddy!  My success is not predicated upon my marital success, but rather my ‘doer of the command’ status according to Joshua 1:6-9.”

As I begin to meditate on those scriptures a few of my favorite united with my mind: BE and DO.  BE very courageous!  I have to live with a steady mind; committed to, faithfully to, and uncompromising to what God has established for me.  I have to DO this BE.  SELAH!

BE!  DO!  This command dictates ‘My Success Status.’  

Without forethought, I understand that I can forfeit my future and the inheritance of my children.  But with wisdom, I can preserve it.  While praying and thinking, these words saluted me and my intellect stood attention:  Pursue!  Overtake! Recover!  There was a surge of energy flowing through me as I begin to explore how they were applicable to me in my right now counterattack.

Pursue:  don’t pursue just anything, but rather pursue what is approved by ‘our Father, Who are in heaven.’  Pursuing is not a lazy task, you must BE tenacious.  

Overtake:  when you come up on that thing, that idea, that desire, which you’ve been given permission to pursue, overtake it.  Overtake, in this presented context means to ‘catch by pursuit.’  When you’ve done that, follow close and cleave to what you’ve caught.  Hold fast to it.  

Recover:  recover, as presented here, doesn’t mean you were weakened and need to be strengthened again.  It means that you’ve pursued, you’ve overtaken, now LIVE!  Be refreshed at the success of being a “doer of the command.”

Pursue!  Overtake! Recover!  This command dictates ‘My Success Status.’

To the many unmarried and the many singles, while flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone is desired and preferred, don’t BE deceived by the temptations of the thief.  Your marital status is not your success status.  You must BE persuaded to DO this:  Pursue, Overtake, and Recover!

Better!

BetterWhile preparing for the days’ journey, i.e. picking my hair, praying for my family, my sons and daughters, my grandchildren, our gifts and talents, ideas and inspirations, visions and motivations, I asked my son what was the temperature and he said 26o.  Then I asked, “What is the “real feel?”  He told me that the winds were at 9 miles per hour.

With that information, I knew the “real feel” was approximately 15o.  BEcause I have an obsession with being as precise as possible, I checked my weather app to see if it would display the information and it stated that it was indeed 26o (sum of 8) and “real feel” 16o (sum of 7).  Straightaway when I saw that, I heard, like a fountain of water springing up,

“Your situation is 10 degrees better than what you feel that it is.  Don’t BE moved by what you feel; BE moved by what you know.  And know this, your situation IS BETTER!”  

How?  Just how do I know this IS the truth?  Because the Spirit of Truth, WHO dwelleth with me and BE in me, guides me IN to all truth.  Thus, my knowing.

Previously, I had written in my journal about the power of the number 10 (law and testimony).  From a biblical reference, Genesis 1 is the first occurrence of a testimony.  Ten times, this chapter testifies of YAH’s creative power by the expression “God said.”  Each time those 2 words (union) were released into the atmosphere (into the darkness, the firmament, the waters, the earth, etc.), the atmosphere yielded itself to the power of what was said.  What was spoken BEcame, and what BEcame still IS.  It still exists.

Being swift to hear (both sensitive and acute), I understood that the testimony this morning wasn’t that my (your) situation is GOING TO GET or is IN THE PROCESS OF BEcoming better.  Better already exists!  The testimony is that my (your) situation IS (now, right now, here and now, without delay, this very moment, this present time, this day and age) BETTER!  And it is that, by 10o.

There is no preparation for IS to BE.  However, we have to prepare ourselves to BE what IS.  SELAH! 

As for me and my household, we are rising up to what IS by BEing a doer of the word according to James 1 (KJV), and as expounded in my weblog “Doer of the Declaration.” 

I ask of you my dear friends, “What it is?”  It IS BETTER!

100 Percent

For 4 weeks now, I’ve been praying about a plausible contingency that will bless my household and complete our desires.  Since 08.08.15 (eight meaning new beginning), I’ve had 4 dreams that spoke to and about this new thing. During these last 30 days, there were times I had felt as though my certainty was slipping into uncertainty as anxiety was a grouch, crying ‘LET ME IN’.  However, I didn’t open the door.  I kept on praying and I kept on BElieving.

Around 0245 hours on 09.05.15, I laid a pray BEfore the LORD.  At 1045 hours (8 hours later), I got in my car (after having the oil changed) and the oil indicator read – 100%.  This was normal as it always read 100% after every oil change.  However, in the batting of an eye I heard the Holy Spirit (gently and clearly as I can naturally hear) say, “Your oil level is at 100%!”  That was such an EXHILARATING experience!

Forthwith, I knew that response was a direct correspondence to my supplication and to the dreams.  One of the other first things that came to my mind was Matthew 24:4 (KJV) “…take head that no man deceive you”, and Ephesians 5:6(a) (KJV) “…LET no man deceive you with vain words.”   This was of great comfort to me, as the potential of being deceived is what caused the anxiety in the beginning.  I didn’t want to BE deceived or fall into the trap of deception.

Well, it was in the 4th dream that the Holy Spirit showed me how to put deception in check.  In this dream, I was leaving a facility and in the lobby were three people: 2 sitting in a waiting area and 1 sitting at a check-in/out counter.  There was a middle-aged man facing the desk and as I arrived this is the short conversation we had:

MAN:  Ms. Smith?

ME:  Yes Sir?

MAN:  I have a package for you.  I have included you in my living will.  All that I have, I give it to you.

ME:  (looking around the lobby to make sure he had the right Ms. Smith) Are you talking about me?

MAN: Yes!  IT IS YOURS!

I went behind the desk and begin to do my RESEARCH!  I needed to have assurance and BE secure that he was not trying to scam me.

This thing called research is a powerful noun.  It means to carefully study; studious inquiry; to investigate aimed at discovery and the interpretation of facts.  Koheleth, the son of David, also called Preacher, said that “he applied his heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things…” (Ecclesiastes 7:25, KJV).  This is the kind of searching and researching I applied in this dream.

While doing my research, I saw the man in a corner talking with a lady.  The lady said, “She is a smart woman.  She is not going to BElieve what you have given her until she has fully searched you out.  We can’t deceive her.”  The “we can’t deceive her” was not inferring that they were trying to deceive me, but rather that I wouldn’t LET them deceive me.  There is no room for deception and I wouldn’t or couldn’t LET them deceive me BEcause my oil level is full!  SELAH!

100 PERCENT!

Net Worth

While washing dishes, for some reason or another, dialogues and writings from others of the life coach discipline about being an asset came to my mind.

In years past up to now, there has been a crusade (regarding relationships) about what people bring to the table.  This means what value (appeal, merit, substance, wealth, etc.) they are bringing to the relationship.  Majority of what has been delivered to us has been fixated on needing to BE an asset in the relationship.  Well, everyone is part asset.  Thus, we don’t need to BE that alone.  Instead of focusing on being an asset, we should focus on bringing the resources AND the responsibilities to the relationship.  This will assist in accurately calculating how valuable WE are to each other.

What is OUR net worth in OUR relationship?

In this parable, there is a woman who portrays herself as a woman of moral integrity.  She works, she has her own home, she provides for her household, she nurtures her children, she rides well, dresses well, her make-up and hair are always nice and neat, her nails are groomed, her feet are soft, she smells good, she is cordial, etc.  On the contrary, she doesn’t pay her bills on time, she bounces checks on an account that is closed by 5 figures overdrawn, she’s not a giver to the less fortunate, she’s not cooperative, she lacks humility, her children sees her two-facedness, and her speech is foul.

Assets and liabilities!  What is her net worth that she is bringing to the relationship?  The sum total of her ‘on the contrary’ makes her net worth (yaqar yaw-kawr) far below rubies.  It would BE to her advantage to rid herself of those liabilities and owner’s equity.  If not, they will depreciate her by compound scores.  SELAH!

Truly, the center of our attention should zoom in on our net worth status.  Are we consistently increasing in seven-fold health and soul prosperity?  Although this is not about deducing us to an economic equation or comparing us to the rate of a dollar, without a doubt, when our liabilities outweigh our assets our net worth will BE full of no value.  I sincerely encourage you all to stop increasing your assets (assets = owners’ equity + + + + liabilities) and start increasing your positive net worth (assets – – – – liabilities = net worth).

Know your worth for real!

Morning Meditation: Marriage

Today I pray against the evil that comes to kill, steal, and destroy marriages and relationships that are separated and seeking restoration.  I command adultery to go and put its face in the crease of the corner.  You are unwanted fabric and are not welcomed in the image of YAH.

I speak to the chosen of the LORD; get your house in order!  LET your old relationships die; LET them BE fully dried up before you seek after another.  STAND STILL until you have taken care of the old; LET not the new wine fail because you tried to fit it in an old bottle.  I pray that current relationships consummate with marriage because it is right and it is honorable; LET them all remain FAITHFUL to one another, engulfed in integrity, so that the sheets of their souls and private chambers are not spoiled and stained.

Father Elohim, blow Your sustaining wind NOW.  LET us inhale Your new mercy, it is our life!  In the name of the LORD Yeshua Who is the chosen people’s bridegroom.  Surely this is done.  ALLELUIA! © March 12, 2012
