standers encouragement 12/08/08

[ronniefrank2003]

Hey standers,

todays message is part of an email that was sent to me that I thought would be helpful to all of you.

Stand. Fight. Pray.

My Bible says that God is no respecter of

persons . . . that ALL things are possible with God. That means He

does not discriminate in handing out His blessings. The same God who

healed someone else's marriage, can heal your marriage. No matter what

it may look like in the natural, God will ALWAYS have the last word. I

don't care what you say, what a lawyer may say, what a judge may say,

what anyone says . . . I only care what God says.

God says He hates divorce. That means He is going to do His part in

keeping a dying marriage alive. I declare that I will stand in the gap

for all these troubled marriages. I encourage each of you to trust and

believe God for a supernatural move in the hearts of those husbands

and wives.

We are going to see marriages restored, love rekindled, and lives

changes because of the grace of Almighty God working in these

marriages. I am always very practical, very realistic in regard to how

we must handle the problems in our life. But I never, ever leave out

the most important element . . . God. It's not by might nor by power,

it's by His Spirit.

Therefore trust not in man to do this because God is able.

Isaiah 31:1 "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on

horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen,

because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of

Israel, neither seek the LORD!

You need to know and be assured that God is involved in your

circumstances. God wants to remind us that His ways are different from

ours. His thoughts are higher, and therefore we should not LEAN on our

own understanding.

We should not use our human reasoning to figure Him out. God wants us

to know that we can get through any mountain but, "...not by might nor

by power but by HIS SPIRIT."

You see, this is one way that God acts. He turns seeming defeat into

amazing victory...He makes the IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE. Remember that He

created this world out of nothing. Is anything too hard for God?

My friends, this is the God who will heal and restore your family.

This same God who turned the Great Red Sea into a dry path so that the

people of Israel could walk across safely and then He let the waters

return to destroy the pursuing unconquerable Egyptian army.

Are you at this time facing an impossible situation in your family?

Are you facing a huge mountain and therefore frustration is causing you to

consider giving up? Know that there are times in our lives when we

face impossible problems or tasks...things that in a very real sense

are "mountains" blocking our path. And when we ask for His help, God

makes these mountains...these BIG THINGS small. This is the truth

that God communicated through Isaiah when He promised,"

Isaiah 40:4 "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and

hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and

the rough places plain"

If your marriage or family has fallen apart, know that God, yes the

same God, who raised Jesus from the dead, WILL bring your dead

marriage back to life. Do you struggle with anxiety or depression so

great you don't think you can make it through another day? Then hear

this....NOTHING is impossible with God....He can make a way where

there is no way. God can take the BIG things in your life....and make

them small. As He told Jeremiah, "I am the Lord, the God of all

mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?"

Father, thank you for Ronnie. I look forward to his encouragement day to day. Continue to bless him, Father.

For the last few days of reading the bible, I keep reading about how God can make the impossible, to us, possible for Him. All we have to do is let the holy spirit come into our hearts and remove everything else that may be an obstacle. So that we may see God.

Father, You know my situation, please remove the anger in my heart. Help me forgive my spouse for all the wrongs he has done in the past, present and future. Renew my heart O Lord. Continue to guide and protect me and my children. Watch over my husband... In Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank-you Lord for speaking through Ronnie. Lord everthing is possible through the Holy Spirit. I aask that you give me the Strength to stand in the Gap of my Marriage. Lord, May you Change my Heart to Love Doris Unconditionly. And Change Doris's Heart to see the Decietfulness around her. That she will see the truth. Jesus is God and with him everthing is Possible. Amen

Well said Ronnie, all we can do is pray, but what a gift God gave us in that though. God's word tells us in Matthew 7:7-11

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Our God was a God of miracles then, and is the same yesterday, today and always.

Revelation 1:8 (New International Version)

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Through Jesus Christ anything and everything is possible

Acts 9;36-43

At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, AND MANY BELIEVED ON THE NAME OF THE LORD.

I have with my own eyes seen this very same miracle in our day and age by calling on and believing on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to come with his almighty and divine hand. To intervene where man can do nothing. I would be happy to share this with anyone who wants to know as I know we sometimes get discouraged. Even myself having witnessed such enormous work at the hands of God, I still get puilled down at times by the evil one. I have to at times remind my sinful self, "Hey stop it" remember what God did that day. Everyone of you would have seen God work at some point in your life. In fact I know you have because you all stepped forward for the gift of salvation and God brought you there, he knew you before you were born. I am proud to tell people of the mighty works of God, and make no apology for this. Why should I we should be shouting from the roof tops how amazing our God is and what he does for us even in our undeserving state. He doesn't show us these things so as we can put them away in a closet or box. We have to tell the world how great our God is for the glory of God. We have to put our selfish and negative thoughts aside and just keep looking at what God has actually done for us and marvel in that and keep believing, and keep knocking. None of us deserve the love God wants to lavish on us. But our beautiful God just keeps pouring down the love. He saved us from hell what bigger gift than that. If Christ did all that on the cross for us. How much he loves us and hears our prayers and wants to give. Please people keep knocking how ever hard it is, don't give up. We are seeing marriages being reconciled by the hand of our great God, keep calling out for your marriage and the salvation of your spouses. Ronnie is right it doesn't matter what lawyers tell you or what your spouses present before you. God is the almighty and above all men and earthly knowledge. And if he tells us to knock, then we should knock.

My selfish little heart can't feel your pains, but I do know my wish in prayer is that our God will pour out the miracles for you all in your pain be of the marital type or another and I believe the answering of our prayers are a very real possibility. I am praying from my heart for you all that these marriages will be restored and I believe in my heart sincerely we are going to see more of God's miracles. I am calling now to our Dear Lord. Lord I know you are a God of miracles and I am asking for your miracles to pour down like rain. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask this. This site is about believing and those miracles will come as sure as God loves us, miracles will come. Let us wait with joyful anticipation of the great works of God, he is amazing and beautiful, amen.
