GOD’S SIDE OR THE DEVIL’S SIDE?

GodsSideI wonder if we really understand the power of God’s words that He releases into the universe. He spoke, and the worlds came into being. All it took was for God to open His mouth and speak.
 
And then we read the first words He spoke to the man and woman He created: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion . . .” These are not idle words. They are a divine mandate. They are an eternal law which progresses to a conclusion. The people who obey this law and are fruitful are the people who will take dominion.
 
Satan knows God’s plans and seeks to thwart them. God wants His people to be fruitful and take dominion for Him in the earth. He wants His image to be revealed in the earth. He wants the revelation of His name, His salvation, truth, love, compassion, and righteousness to fill the earth.
 
The easiest way for the devil to stop the image of God filling the earth is to subtly brainwash God’s people to stop having children. He has been very successful. Most Christians today think God’s first mandate are idle words. They have been deceived to think they don’t have to take any notice of them at all. They think they have a better way than God.
 
How can we be true believers in God’s infallible Word if we don’t think His words are important? Eternal? Jesus said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
 
Most people in the church have the same small families as the world. Most believers are so entrenched in this world system that they continue sending their children to public schools and colleges where they are propagandized in liberal doctrine, alternative lifestyles, transgenderism, and antagonism to God and His Word.
 
When will God’s people begin to stand on God’s side instead of the devil’s side?

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE

abovelisteningThe devil loves to break up marriages and he begins by putting negative and deceiving thoughts in your mind. You don’t have to listen to them. Resist them in the name of Jesus. Think of the good things about your husband. Thank the Lord for them. Tell your husband the good things you are thinking about him. When you focus on the positive, everything will become positive. When you focus on the negative everything becomes destructive.

LIVE ABOVE SELF-PREOCCUPATION

Self proccupationI am continuing my ABOVE posts for a few days. How important it is to give ROOM in our hearts and minds for the needs of others. God is always looking for hearts that are open and waiting for God speak to them about whom He wants them to bless and minister to. If we are totally taken up with thinking about ourselves, there is no room for anyone else!
 
“Others, Lord, yes others,
Let his my motto be,
Help me to live for others
That I may live like Thee.”

LIVE ABOVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES

MyPriceAs we go into this New Year I would like to encourage you to live above all the troublesome and even petty things that tend to bring you down to live under your problems instead of above them. God says that you are seated with Him in heavenly places. The virtuous and courageous woman of Proverbs 31 is ABOVE rubies, not below. She lives ABOVE her circumstances as she keeps her eyes upon the LORD. Can I encourage you to move into this way of life?
 
Much love and blessings to you as you walk this year with God and your precious family, trusting Him each step of the way.

UNDEFEATED MEN!

UndefeatedMenDear ladies,
 
I’m proud to inform you of a new website which has just launched this morning. It is only the very beginning of much more to come. Share this with your husband and sons and they can sign up now and be waiting for all that is to come in the future.
 
UNDEFEATED MEN is being launched by my grandson, ARDEN ALLISON (Serene Allison’s son, THM) and my niece’s husband, CAL CALHOON.
 
Here is their statement:
 
“We want to help men become physically, mentally, and spiritually fit. We want to inspire men to be honest, courageous, and committed. We want to continue to embrace life's difficulties while finding rest where we can. Our goal is to protect the weak while never relenting in our drive to do good. Just remember ~ A Good Man's Never Stuck!”
 
I love that they have taken on the slogan, “A good man’s never stuck!” I was brought up with this saying from my father, Ivan Bowen (world champion shearer from New Zealand) who got it from his father! This means it comes down from Arden’s great-grandfather! All our children and grandchildren have grown up with this affirmation which they have made part of their lives! Cal also loved my father who brought him to know Jesus as his personal Savior, and he loves this saying too.
 
Today they are advertising their WHY PROTEIN, ESPECIALLY FORMATTED FOR MEN! It’s the best!
 
Those of you who know Arden’s story know that he is an overcomer. We thank God every time we look at him, so fit and strong physically and spiritually, after a seven year fight with cancer. Each day Arden leads the way down to the river for cold plunges in the freezing water and like his mother, continually studies health and fitness.
 
Go to the site here: https://undefeatedmen.com/
 
May the men in your family be blessed.
