[marriagerestoration] Be Steadfast, Let Nothing Move You!! - Mar. 2, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

1 Cor. 15:58 "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you..."

Good day to you my friend. I know the wait is long, but are you thinking of giving up? I say to you today, "stand firm and continue to wait upon the Lord." Don't be moved by what you hear.

It is tough to understand why we go through the difficult times we go through. The best way to look at it is to know that God is our very present help in times of trouble.

He is helping us become strong for the moments He has created for us to experience. He knows what is ahead and He knows what it will take to make it through it. We need to allow God to take us through some of these tough times.

Today I want to encourage you to take hold of the anchor that is immovable. It will weather the worst storm. Truly, this anchor of hope we have in Jesus Christ is firm and secure! Rest in this blessed assurance today.

Perhaps you're in that wind-tossed storm right now. God and His Word provide the steady anchor and sure foundation. Today let us focus on the immutable God, whose Word has promised: "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal" (Isaiah 26:3,4).

What happens when the pressure of life becomes more than one can bear? There are times when life just doesn't make any sense. These are the times that even the most steadfast Christian feels the heat and becomes doubtful. The feeling to move this way or that overtakes our desire to remain strong and steadfast in the Lord as we look to alleviate the pressures of life.

My sister, my brother, will you wait upon the Lord to bring about a breakthrough? You cannot do this by yourself.

It is in the midst of such pressures, we feel the need to move even when God is still. Rather than choosing to be strong and immovable, the stresses of life pull us from our foundation of faith casting our souls into doubt.

Why are you doubting that God can give you the victory? Determine in your heart to walk by faith and not by what you see or hear. Stop for a moment. Look and listen for God rather than being subject to the situations and circumstances.

What do you do when you have no idea what to do next? Stand strong, serve God and wait until your hope is fulfilled. Sounds like a tall order for the weak and broken, yet in our desperation God is able to do wonders when we are obedient. We have exceeded our personal power and now must fully rely on His Strength.

James 1:2-4 " "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

I declare today that I am standing with you, interceding and praying to the Father for you daily.

[marriagerestoration] Greater Is He...Mar. 1, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

Greater Is He Who is In You...

1 John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

While you face this situation in your marriage, I want to encourage you and to tell you that God is BIGGER than this situation in your
marriage.

We have the greatest and most powerful name to use, and when the demons hear the name of Jesus they tremble and flee. You need not be afraid. As a child of God you have the authority to use the name of Jesus and the power behind the name.

Matthew 16:19 ,"And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

This is one of the most powerful scriptures. All authority has been given to you and you control the keys to to the kingdom of heaven. You have immediate access to the heavenlies through Jesus that lives inside of you through His Holy Spirit.

Greater is He who lives inside of you, and through Him that lives inside of you, you have the power to overcome the world. You are more than a conqueror through Christ that lives inside you.

Paul made a similar promise in Romans 8:31 when he said, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" How true!

If God is on our side, having known us in our sins and loved us anyway, who could ever raise a statement of accusation against the beloved? In every one of our issues and difficulties, "We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (Romans 8:37).

Prayer: Father, I know that You are my rock and no unrighteousness dwells in You. Thank You, Lord for the Holy Spirit that dwells in me, to lead me, direct me, guide me, strengthen me and teach me in Your ways. Thank You that I am more than a conqueror, that I will flourish like a palm tree. I will flourish and prosper. Thank You for destroying the works of the enemy in my life and now Lord, I draw closer to You. I resist the lies of the devil. I will have no fear. I submit to You. I know Your Word promises me that you will lift me up and that I will be victorious. Thank you Lord, In Jesus name, Amen.

[marriagerestoration] The Lord Is Not Slack...!! Feb. 29, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

The Lord is Not Slack Concerning His Promise!!

2 Pet. 3: 9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."

Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Matt. 11:28-29 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold! I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me." (Isaiah 49:15-16).

According to the above promise given by God who never lies, He will never forget you. Though a woman may forget her sucking child, He has graven you on the palms of His hands and all your tears are continually before Him.

Know today that the Lord has heard your prayers. Please read Luke 18:1 - 8 about the evil judge, who feared neither God nor man, ultimately dispensing justice to the widow in distress.

Do not faint but keep praying till God answers your prayer. If even an evil judge can be worn down like that, don't you think that God will surely give justice to His people who plead with Him day and night? (Vs.7)

Everything that is happening in your life is not accidental but is allowed of God with some specific purpose. God wants to take the pearl out of you through this furnace of afflictions.

In everything, give thanks unto the Lord as this is the secret of Christian life. God will change all the adverse circumstances that surround you today.

All things work together for your good only (Rom.8:28). Maybe, these present troubles that you undergo are from your spouse or owing to some hurdles placed by the Devil in your life. Ultimately, you will be the over-comer through Christ Jesus.

The Lord is today teaching us longsuffering which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. When you pass through the furnace of afflictions only, you may learn longsuffering.

King David prayed to the Lord, "Everyone that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him" (Ps.32:6).

As you face this situation in your home, do not faint in your prayer-life. Surely, the Lord will give you a breakthrough if you do not faint and will persevere. The Lord will deliver you.

"The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they know thy Name will put their trust in thee; for thou, Lord, has not forsaken them that seek thee" (Ps.8:9-10). "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread" (Ps.37:25).

Be careful and watch out for attacks from the Devil, our great enemy. As a roaring lion, he is walking about to devour you. But stand firm and resist him in the Name of Jesus Christ when he attacks your faith life. The more he attacks your faith, the more you should trust the Lord.

Remember that others are going through the same circumstance you are now facing. After you have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness, will give you His eternal glory. He will pick you up and set you firmly in a high place and make you stronger than ever (I Pet.5). Cast all your worries on Jesus Christ who cares for you and your loved ones.

I have not been hearing from many of you. Please contact me for personal prayers or encouragement. Thanks in advance for your support. I truly need it at this time.

[marriagerestoration] When The Odds Are Against You!! Feb. 28, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

When The Odds Are Against You!!

Rom. 4:16-22 "He is the father of us all.... [18] Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." [19] Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead — since he was about a hundred years old — and that Sarah's womb was also dead. [20] Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, [21] being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. [22] This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."

The story of childless Abraham and Sarah and their miracle child Isaac is a story of faith in God, of trusting God against all odds, when the "natural mind" would say that the promised child (Isaac) was an impossibility. The vital message that comes through to us is: Against all odds, have faith in God!

What is your natural mind saying about your impossible situation?

"Why should I believe for healing and restoration when my spouse has
long since separated from me against my will and has moved out of
State? His whereabouts are unknown?"

"Why should I believe for healing and restoration when all these years
my spouse refuses to have anything to do with me?"

"Why should I believe for healing and restoration when my spouse seems
so happy with this other person?"

"Why should I believe that God can do anything on my behalf after all these years? Why should I believe for healing and restoration when the odds are against me?"

"Why? Surely, it seems, God's promises are not really to be believed.
Therefore, why should I believe?"

I ask some of you today. "Why do you shrink back in unbelief? Why do you become discouraged and disillusioned? Why are you thinking of giving up?"

Even in your situation, the odds may seem as overwhelming in your
life. Your spouse has left you. You are being threatened with divorced
or may have already been divorced again your will. In the natural
this is a tough situation for anyone to handle.

In situations like these, when you do not know which way to turn, what
to do, how to act, or what to say – God has a way.

Whatever your circumstance, God can help you win; even if your circumstance appears as if nothing is going good in your favor. God will sustain and strengthen you as you employ the timeless principles of His Word.

God uses difficult odds to build our faith. The Christian life starts,
continues, and ends by faith in Jesus Christ. When our problems
overload us, doubt is usually our adversary's advance attack. We
question God's wisdom, wonder about His power, and waver in our faith
in His promises.

When the odds are against us, God's power is more powerful than any odds. Will you trust today and believe that God can come against any odds?

I am praying and interceding on your behalf. Thanks in advance for your support.

Heart failure and disease caused by reduced blood supply to the heart can lead to a loss of brain cells and reduced cognitive abilities. This finding, published by a team of scientists in a recent issue of the European Heart Journal, suggests that heart disease may affect a part of our brains that governs mentally demanding tasks.

[marriagerestoration] Relying on God And Trusting Him!! - Feb. 27, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

NOTE: I want each of you to know that I am praying and interceding on your behalf daily. I am doing this Ministry full-time and if you have never supported this Ministry, will you do so today? Thanks in advance. I love and appreciate each of you. PD
**********************************************************************
Relying on God And Trusting in Him!!

2 Chron. 16:8 "Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host,
with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on
the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand."

God asks us not to rely on our human reasonings, but to have faith in
His promises, believing that we've received the help we've asked for.

Are you trusting in God today to bring about victory in your situation?

Trust is fully relying in the only One who can solve our problems.
The Only One who can make a crooked path straight. The Only One who
can open every closed doors. The Only One who can tear down and
remove each and every obstacle and barrier in our way. The Only One
who can win each and every battle.

Reliance requires trust. Before we can fully rely on God we have to
fully trust Him. Nothing or no one should keep us from fully relying
on God. Letting go and let God have His way in our situation.

When you're in a situation that appears hopeless, remember God's
faithfulness from the past and you'll begin to rise out of that
circumstance while trusting God for the victory. Genuine faith
believes that God is able to turn any situation around.

The Scriptures tell us that it is far better to trust in the Lord
than to rely upon anything else. We cannot trust in ourselves. We
cannot put our trust in man; and we certainly cannot rely upon our
own understanding. In all our ways we must acknowledge Him, and He
shall bring things to pass as well as direct our paths.

The Psalms are full of different ways people put their trust in the
Lord: God will never abandon anyone who searches for Him: Psalms
9:10. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, have
never abandoned anyone who searches for you.

My friends, on whom are you leaning or trusting? Who are you trusting
to see you through? Are you wise in your own eyes? Insisting upon
leaning unto your own understanding? Jesus Christ is our Solid Rock
Foundation; in whom we can find solace, in whom we can be fully
confident.

I want you to know the Lord is a 24/7 Deliverer. He WILL NEVER fail
you. He WILL NEVER forsake you. He WILL NEVER leave you alone. So my
final words to you are, trust, lean and rely totally upon the Lord.

I want to thank those who have been assisting me in this quest for the healing of marriages. Without your prayers and financial support, there is no way I would be able to encourage and minister to many. I thank God daily for your obedience and faithfulness.

Dr. Oz revisited | Science-Based Medicine

Posted by: "David Supertraining International" david@supertraininginternational.com   driscoll_david

Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:31 am (PST)



http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/dr-oz-revisited/

SBM have been very critical of Dr. Mehmet Oz, who through his relentless self-promotion (and with more than a little help from his patron Oprah Winfrey) has somehow become known as "America's doctor." Back in the early days, when he was the regular medical expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz was at least tolerable. Much of what he discussed was reasonably science-based and even sensible, mainly advice to eat better and get more exercise, which is what most primary care doctors tell their patients every day. True, he did "integrate" some non-evidence-based therapies in with the evidence-based therapies, which was not good given how a typical viewer wouldn't be able to tell where the science-based advice ended and the magical thinking began, but for the most part, even on Oprah's show, he kept his woo somewhat in check. At least, there were boundaries beyond which he wouldn't pass, even though Dr. Oz's wife is a reiki master and he has been a fan of reiki (gaining fame for inviting reiki masters into his operating room during cardiac surgery), "energy healing" quackery, and an array of other "alternative" medicine practices since at least the 1990s and has testified in front of NCCAM patron Senator Tom Harkin's committee to promote "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) or, as its advocates like to call it now, "integrative medicine."

[marriagerestoration] God Has A Good Plan!! - Feb. 26, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

"God Has A Good Plan For You." Jeremiah 29:11.

"For I know the plans I have for you,..." declares the Lord!
(Jeremiah 29:11). What could be more comforting?! To know that God
has a plan for our life, and is at work to bring it about, is
sometimes all we need to know.

When everything is going great, and we are on top of the world, it's
nice to hear that God has a plan for us. But it is those times when
nothing seems to be going our way, and God seems so very far away; it
is those times when these words mean so much.

Things may not be going too well with you at this time. Your spouse
may have gone to live with another; you may have been pushed too far
and have said many unkind words. Now, you are all alone. Are you
being threatened with separation or divorce?

Did your spouse separate from you against your will? You may be left alone to pay all those bills. What about your marriage vows? "...'til death do you part;" what about, "in sickness and in health?;" "For better or worse?" Is there no meaning to the marriage vows?

God's very precious gift to us is the gift of hope and a future. We
need to hear these words. Though we have been abandoned, rejected and
abused, let it be known my friends, and be encouraged today, that God
is still with us, and wants us to have His very best plan in spite of
what it currently looks like you may be facing.

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will
have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted
in my body whether by life or by death." (Philippians 1:20).

Paul was confined in Rome when he wrote his letter to the Philippians.
He didn't know whether he would be set free or executed, but he knew
Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Paul had seen God's Hand at work
and fully understood His Love and Power. He had completely turned his
life over to God and now lived with great expectations of how God
would use him to accomplish His plan.

There were times when Paul's situation appeared dismal and without
hope, but he had already seen how God was using ALL things to His
glory. "It has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to
everyone else that I am in chains for Christ." (Philippians 1:13).

Paul's hardship had made it possible for the whole palace guard to
hear the gospel message and had encouraged others to "speak the word
of God more courageously and fearlessly." (Philippians 1:14).

God knows when we sit and when we stand up, when we go out and when we
lie down. He knows what we are going to say before we say it. Now to
some, this is not a comforting thought. It may make them feel hemmed
in by God's watchful eye. But the purpose of God's care for us is not
to prevent us from having any fun. Quite the opposite. The purpose
of God's attentive care for us to give us the best that life has to
offer, pressed down and running over.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
It is a message appropriate for those who are discouraged and have no
hope and want to give up. It is also a message we all need to hear
and believe and trust.

I want to thank those who have been assisting me in this quest for the healing of marriages. Without your prayers and financial support, there is no way I would be able to encourage and minister to many. I thank God daily for your obedience and faithfulness.
