There’s a lot of advice I could give to single and dating people.
How to be content in this season you’re in.
The kind of person you should be looking to marry.
Boundaries for when you’re dating.
All of those are good and necessary. But there’s something that most Christians completely miss that’s an essential principle for optimal relationships and marriages. If you don’t get this, it doesn’t matter who you date because it will be a fraction of the relationship God meant for you. And your marriage to them will be too.
Happiness is not finding the right person. It’s being the right person.
I’ve seen countless Christians sabotage their marriages not because they married the wrong person but because when they got married they weren’t the right person for the other person. Not in their chemistry, but in their character.
If two half people get together and they’re not complete in Christ, they don’t make a whole person. They subtract from each other rather than adding to each other and they become more miserable.
There’s only one half you’re responsible for right now. And that’s your half.
Stop looking for the person of your dreams and start becoming someone another person is dreaming about. Make someone else’s dreams become a reality.
A lot of single people make lists of what they want in the person they’re looking for. That’s fine. Just make sure that if the person you’re looking for had the same list, they’d find you.
You may be waiting in this season of your life for God to bring the right person.
Or you may be wondering if the person you’re dating is the right person.
He will do it.
He will reveal it.
In the meantime, be what you’re looking for.

what is going on ..?
We are in the end times.
We have been in the end times for as long time; now we're close to the end. Can you feel it? Mass floods and fires in Australia, earthquakes in New Zealand, Egypt get's all Isaiah 19 on us; and that's just 3 places that I can recall in the last month.
Not to mention world povety and hunger, human trafficking and sex slavery.
Us Christians, carefully chosen by the Creator, need to rise up! We need to spread God's goodness; get His love out there; rise up and take back what was His; expand His Kingdom and rise up against the devil. I'm just really sick of satan thinking that victory is his. Of course it never will be, but he thinks he's winning... I dislike it. satan (he never deserves a capital letter) needs to understand that he is never going to win. God is the I Am, the Begining and the End, the King of Kings, and the Master of the universe. Victory is the Lord's! We need to rise up, step out of our comfort zone and help people in need. You might think of people in need as the starving and depressed, and everyone suffering in Christchurch, New Zealand - and they are! They are! But, the person you walk past at the supermarket and the lady that is walking her dog at 5am, are also the people in need. If they don't know Salvation and true Love then they're in need!
God without man is still God. But man without God is nothing.

Psalm of the Son
Crucify me! The only honor I seek is to live and die for the warrior King. Crucify me! And let the world cry out that I am still too bold, but I won’t back down. Crucify me! And you will see, this flesh will die to liberate my Spirit.
If death has touched my Kingdom, watch, as it bows it’s head in shame. My eyes have seen glory. Watch as I fearlessly proclaim “For me to die is gain.” And so my legacy is set. I am eternal. But, I was born to die, that the sons may live. Let the nations see. I was born to die.
I am everlasting. From the grave, I have come in glory. I am everlasting. When the world burns, know I’ll be standing. Wake up, and see my destiny. When you can wake up, you’ll know I stand as the hope for victory.
No one takes my life, but I lay it down willingly. My words will not fall; this is the heart of God. My words will not fade. Truth is the ground I built my Kingdom on—and it will stand eternal.

Long live the King. Long live the King (Jesus)
This is my generation and I will not watch it die. This is my generation. And I will not, I will not watch it die
You are the only hope. It’s our destiny to stand tall at Your side. You are the only hope. Beyond comprehension Your voice will shake the earth. You are the only hope. And so I bring You praise
You are faithful, Lord. In righteousness You judge and make war. You are my victory. Let every knee bow, and every created tongue confess You are Lord. You are my victory. You will judge the works of man, still I will say, “You are my victory.” And so I rise to see your reign manifested. In majesty, take your place enthroned above all.
Eyes of fire. The mountains tremble at Your voice. Eyes of fire, the mountains tremble at Your voice. At Your voice
God of glory, come in justice and righteousness to bring war. God of glory, come in justice and righteousness to bring peace.
(I will press on)
I can see coming deliverance from the hand of God. Salvation, come. I can see new dreams awakening, born from the heart of God. Redemption, come. I can see the saints igniting life as the voice of God. Revolution, come.

Hell, fear me. I am the one that will bring you down. And when you fall, feel me. You’ll see my face on the battleground. Hell, fear me. I am the one that will bring you down. And when you fall, feel me. You’ll see my face on the battleground.
Let my name be feared at the gates of hell, as I exalt the Savior. The One that died to buy my victory, and gave me a new name. Let my name be feared at the gates of hell, as I exalt the Savior. In the name of the Holy One of God, I will cast you down at the foot of the cross He hung from. I will stand behind my Savior, as He burns your kingdom down. And I will see you on your knees before the King of Kings. You will lose your throne to the chosen ones. The chosen ones will rise.
Tear it to the ground! This is the army we’ve been waiting for.
Tear it to the ground! We will storm the gates of hell and we will…
Tear it to the ground! We stand behind the One that conquered death.
Tear it to the ground! And we will stand when there is nothing left.
Tear it to the ground! Tear it to the ground!
Justice! Justice! Justice! God, bring justice!
Justice! We will come against the bondage of hell.
Justice! And we will take back what’s taken from us.
Justice! This is our right as heirs to dominion. God, bring justice!
This war will end.

It's alright to be human. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don't be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to Me. Share a secret smile with Me, knowing that I understand.
no greater love
No better word than from Your lips. No perfect life than what You lived. No greater gift, no not one
No brighter star has ever shined. No better hope for all mankind. No higher mind, no not one
No one has ever known this kind of love You've shown
There has never been a greater love than Your son. No, Not one. And there will never be a name above. No, Not one
With His life You have forgiven us. Hope has come. Hope has come. And there will never be a greater love. No, Not one
No image true or sweeter frame. No simple word can match Your name. No greater fam. No not one
No one has ever seen. The depth of Your majesty
No greater call - You gave us all a reason to live
No greater love - You gave us all a reason to give
No greater life - You gave us all a reason to shine
No greater love - forever mine!

Life
Love
Forgiveness
Acceptance
Stripping demons right off my back trying to leech life off of me
Get off of me and feel my fathers fury Oppressor
One day you'll feel the full blast of his vengeance beelzebub, but for now ill love
Because I've got strength
He blew courage in my backbone, now I'll stand straight and militant, lining up in Jahovas battalion knowing you cant challenge Him so we march forward Swift as eagles, set like tallons ready to grip souls from your grasp slick snake in the grass, my Lord sees you and vengeance is His
But for now ill retaliate
Propelled by your Holy mandate to heal because I know how bad it hurts
Full of madness at first but now gladness bursts out the seams of our beings because we overflow with the oil of joy
The ointments of the anointed mending any torn soul healing any broken bone
He is here

holiness
Holiness is not just a job description for ministers or a suggested alternative lifestyle, but it is a command for all who assemble before the holy God. We are to be holy, for He is holy. We are not asked merely to act holy or to appear holy; we are invited to be holy. To be something means it becomes part of our essence or life force. Our spirits direct how we live, so we are to be filled and led by the Spirit, which is holy, or the Holy Spirit.
Holiness is not God asking us to be "good"; it is an invitation to be "His".
To be holy is to be set apart, in our spirits, souls, and physical bodies, for Him. We set ourselves apart by first responding to His call, then by submitting our wills to his Word by asking the Holy Spirit to guide us.
Holiness is about ownership; we no longer own our lives, He does. You may say, "I don't like the idea of someone owning me!" Whether you were aware of this or not, you were never truely free. You were born under the dominion of the kingdom of darkness and lived there as an enemy of God and a child destined for wrath. But a loving Prince has redeemed you. You were purchased at a great expense, and your praises are to declare His glory, along with the saints of heaven who sing the song of the Lamb.

chosen by a passionate, holy God
Do you realize a passionate, holy God is pursuing you? He is waiting and watching for you to glance His way. He longs for you to read the love notes He's written. He prays you will return His advances. He wants to bring you out of a world of darkness and into His glorious world of light. He longs to snatch you from the arms of faithless lovers to and bring you into His faithful, everlasting arms.
He delivers you from the hard taskmasters and cruel bondages of Egypt and instead shows you His tender love and mercy.
He doesn't rescue us from Egypt just to bring us to the promised land, He ultimately wants to bring us to Himself.

matthew 25:31-40
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

breaking the curse
"When you are broken sexually, it makes it incredibly difficult for you to give yourself completely to your husband, because you are not complete anymore.
This same principle makes it very difficult for sexually broken or violated women to stand strong in the face of saying no even when they want to. They are overwhelmed with either lust or guilt, and often both, which makes it nearly impossible for them to resist sexual advances. They become victims and a magnet for sexual abuse and promiscuity. Things are done to them, or they find themselves inflamed with lust because of past encounters with other partners. But the impossible without God becomes the possible with Him.
In order to walk in purity, we must be whole, and only God can restore us to wholeness where there has been brokenness. Only God can restore honor to our sexuality when there's been violation and dishonor. Only God can take the impure and defiled and make it holy and pure again. Only God can give us beauty for the ashes we bring Him."

I am not fat. Or ugly. Or too needy or too emotional. I have no need to worry or fear or be disheartened. Satan, I rebuke your lies in the name of Jesus. That’s what they are: lies. I am getting healthy. I am learning to love myself. I am fearfully and wonderfully made and covered in the blood of Christ and nothing you say can come against that. The Creator of all delights in me, and I am precious in His sight. “How beautiful you are, my darling. There is NO FLAW in you.” I am His beloved, His daughter, and I have authority to reject your lies. So I do. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Beauty is not skin and bones. Beauty is not control. Beauty is not an empty stomach. Beauty is the glory of Christ coming alive in me. I am treasured. I am lovely. I am protected.
Get. Behind. Me.
Get. Behind. Me.
from the messenger, from the King
I just feel the need to let you both know that God tells me things about you. He tells me stories of what he wants for you and your life.
Sometimes he tells me i cant tell you and have to keep it a secret because he wants it to be a suprise for you. Just like opening a present.
Only this present is so much bigger than the ones you get for christmas or your birthday.. haha nooo this one is honestly the greatest one you will recieve… in your life.
I would tell you if i thought it was best.. but trust me.. he hasnt exactly told me the whole thing.. but i like to believe i have a good understanding of it
You see, he has kinda the same, well not same but similiar plan for me. But mine is completely different. But all plans to glorify Him. :)
The things he tells me are things like how much he loves you and wants to spend time with you.
Actually the other night he told me this ONE story… i havnt ever heard a story so beautiful in my life. Every word he said described you perfectly.
Yes, thats right. He described you AS PERFECT! but still, i cant really tell you exactly what he said because he wants to tell you himself.
Im pretty much the messenger in this story that im telling you. I only tell you the things he wants me to.Im the messenger.
but a good one. not the one from primary going back and forht starting slash creating fights.. nooo you are highly mmistaken if you think this is one.
anyway i keep getting side tracked.. He is slowly telling me not to tell you because it will ruin the suprise.. but i have come to think of it.. no matter what i tell you now…
Anything HE himself tells you, will be so much BETTER!
anyway once again getting side tracked. I really want to share with you the story he told me about the time.. He fell inlove…. with….. ME! ahahah not you! ME!
it was amazing! omgosh the best thing i have ever heard. hahaha kidding thats another story
this one im getting back too is about YOUU!!! YES YOU!right there~! on the bed! sorry about my spelling mistakes…. *gulp* hahaha
anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
He started off by telling me how he created this really perfect peice. Possibly the best thing he has ever done. Actually..
it IS the best thing he has ever created in all time! he gave it a name but i cant remember;)
he described it as INdescribable beauty.. something like you hear from a fairy tale.. but better!
he created his very OWN castle…
This was a place where all his best creation would go after living in their temporary home on earth. This castle was for all HIS BEAUTIES..
well he said something like that. remember i cant tel you the exact detail.
im going to jumpp a few books because he talked alot about the next bit.. he will explain everythign to you personally i promise. you wont miss out on anything.
This book, isnt like any other. its deffinatley better than twilight.
This book was about HIS love.
He told me the time he fell in love. I havent ever heard him speak so delicately or passionatley about something like this before.
He spoke…. about you.
Love is a funny thing these days. Little girls in kindy think they like a boy.. but they dont even hold hands! i mean seriously! come on!
But this narator.. i think thats how you spell it, this narator told me he LOVES holding your hands. He speaks of your soul so moving!
i was crying by the end of this. Okay i know i have been kinda jumping all over the place here and i kinda forget the point i was trying to say so let me re-read what i have already said
just to make sure im not getting introuble…. one moment please.
That was close.
Im sorry, its seems we have technical difficulties within my head, he has sort of erased everything he has told me about you..
because he really doesnt want me to ruin the suprise..
so blah blah blah he fell inlove with you.
But that wasnt enough for him.. he started to want more.. so he gave you an oppurtunity to meet him. Kinda sounds stalkerish hey?
but WHO CARES!
anyway so he sent all these things your way to try and get you as close to him as possible.
You found him? may of may not..
you might think you have.. but have you?
i mean really? think about it.. have you met HIM?
he knows you have. i mean will? already have? im not sure.. he only knows that bit.
He told me this really cute thing. He wants to fall inlove with you AGAIN!
he wants you to meet him in the same place you met for the first time!
he wants to give you butterflies like he did on the first date!
He wants you to look at him like you did when you were alone together. You know the look i am talking about.
He told me alot of thigns about you! and im sorry im telling you because i am ruining the suprise he has for you.
But i cant help it. This is part of the plan he has for me.. to keep reminding you of the suprise he has for you. He trusts me.
He trusts me enough to know i wont ever tell you everything he told me.. because i can keep secrets.
Not from him but.. thats so hard!!!
he always finds out.
Anyway back to you..
You remember the castle i was talking about.. Well back to his creations.. After her made the castle.. because he was King he needed a princess..
So he made you. oh crap!
Dont tell him i told you! that was one of the things i wasnt allowed to say.. because he was going to tell you tonight! on your date
oh GOSH! i did it again.. He plans to have a date with you tonight..
He wants to see you tonight, he wants to LOVE you again tonight. He wants to fall inlove with his princess.
And as i said before.. I am the messenger.. so after all this.. i have one question..
Do you accept this invitation to go on a date with the KING? do you accept this invitation to fall inlove again? head over heels?
I mean, you may have already done this.. but isnt everything the best the first time it happens.. because you never expect what comes.
But its the king. He is full of suprises and this was one..
So once again.. do you want to take on the major role.. the plan he has for you starts here.. All he needs is an answer..
But dont tell me.. Im only the messenger for him.. You have to give him the answer yourself..
Do you accept?
Sometimes he tells me i cant tell you and have to keep it a secret because he wants it to be a suprise for you. Just like opening a present.
Only this present is so much bigger than the ones you get for christmas or your birthday.. haha nooo this one is honestly the greatest one you will recieve… in your life.

Love is a funny thing these days. Little girls in kindy think they like a boy.. but they dont even hold hands! i mean seriously! come on!
But this narator.. i think thats how you spell it, this narator told me he LOVES holding your hands. He speaks of your soul so moving!
i was crying by the end of this. Okay i know i have been kinda jumping all over the place here and i kinda forget the point i was trying to say so let me re-read what i have already said
just to make sure im not getting introuble…. one moment please.
That was close.
Im sorry, its seems we have technical difficulties within my head, he has sort of erased everything he has told me about you..
because he really doesnt want me to ruin the suprise..
so blah blah blah he fell inlove with you.
But that wasnt enough for him.. he started to want more.. so he gave you an oppurtunity to meet him. Kinda sounds stalkerish hey?
but WHO CARES!
anyway so he sent all these things your way to try and get you as close to him as possible.
You found him? may of may not..
you might think you have.. but have you?
i mean really? think about it.. have you met HIM?
he knows you have. i mean will? already have? im not sure.. he only knows that bit.
He told me this really cute thing. He wants to fall inlove with you AGAIN!
he wants you to meet him in the same place you met for the first time!
he wants to give you butterflies like he did on the first date!
He wants you to look at him like you did when you were alone together. You know the look i am talking about.
He told me alot of thigns about you! and im sorry im telling you because i am ruining the suprise he has for you.
But i cant help it. This is part of the plan he has for me.. to keep reminding you of the suprise he has for you. He trusts me.
He trusts me enough to know i wont ever tell you everything he told me.. because i can keep secrets.
Not from him but.. thats so hard!!!
he always finds out.
Anyway back to you..
You remember the castle i was talking about.. Well back to his creations.. After her made the castle.. because he was King he needed a princess..
So he made you. oh crap!
Dont tell him i told you! that was one of the things i wasnt allowed to say.. because he was going to tell you tonight! on your date
oh GOSH! i did it again.. He plans to have a date with you tonight..
He wants to see you tonight, he wants to LOVE you again tonight. He wants to fall inlove with his princess.
And as i said before.. I am the messenger.. so after all this.. i have one question..
Do you accept this invitation to go on a date with the KING? do you accept this invitation to fall inlove again? head over heels?
I mean, you may have already done this.. but isnt everything the best the first time it happens.. because you never expect what comes.
But its the king. He is full of suprises and this was one..
So once again.. do you want to take on the major role.. the plan he has for you starts here.. All he needs is an answer..
But dont tell me.. Im only the messenger for him.. You have to give him the answer yourself..
Do you accept?

But everything inside you
Knows there’s more than what you’ve heard
There’s so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you’re on fire when he’s near you
You’re on fire when he speaks
You’re on fire burning out these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you
When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take
And I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning out these mysteries
I’m standing on the edge of me
I’m standing at the edge of everything I’ve never been before
And I’ve been standing on the edge of me, standing on the edge
And I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning out these mysteries
Your mysteries
Knows there’s more than what you’ve heard
There’s so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you’re on fire when he’s near you
You’re on fire when he speaks
You’re on fire burning out these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you
When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take
And I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning out these mysteries
I’m standing on the edge of me
I’m standing at the edge of everything I’ve never been before
And I’ve been standing on the edge of me, standing on the edge
And I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning out these mysteries
Your mysteries
have it all
Out on the farthest edge; there in the silence You were there
My faith was torn to shreds; heart in the balance and You were there
Always faithful, always good. You still have me. You still have my heart
I thought I had seen the end; everything broken but You were there
I’ve wandered at heaven’s gates, I’ve made my bed in hell. You were there still Always faithful, always good. You still have me. You still have my heart
You have me, You have me. You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me. You have my heart completely
My faith was torn to shreds; heart in the balance and You were there
Always faithful, always good. You still have me. You still have my heart
I thought I had seen the end; everything broken but You were there
I’ve wandered at heaven’s gates, I’ve made my bed in hell. You were there still Always faithful, always good. You still have me. You still have my heart
You have me, You have me. You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me. You have my heart completely
did you feel the mountains tremble? did you hear the oceans roar?
Your voice it thunders. The ground is shaking. The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees You and starts composing. The fields and trees, they start rejoicing
And now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out “Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord”
The earth is Yours and singing “Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord”

this is a love song to a wife, but i think God would say this to us aswel
Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear, I will be here.
If in the dark you lose sight of love, hold My hand, and have no fear - because I will be here.
I will be here when you feel like being quiet, when you need to speak your mind I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying, through the winning, losing and trying. We'll be together. I will be here
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up ad the future is unclear, I will be here.
And you can cry on my shoulder when the mirror tells you you're older - I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty, and tell you all the things you are to Me.
I will be here.

And you can cry on my shoulder when the mirror tells you you're older - I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty, and tell you all the things you are to Me.
I will be here.

living sacrifices
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the name of Jesus. I accept Your invitation to eat at Your table, to feast on Your love and faithfulness. Just as Jesus presented Himself as a sacrifice for sin at the Last Supper, I now embrace the mercy of God and follow His example. I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable in Your sight, because I have been washed in the blood of Your precious Son. No longer will I yield my body to disobedience and my members to sin. I present them anew to You. I thank You for the life of Christ coursing through my veins. Jesus, You are the Living Vine, and I am a branch. I thank You for the ability to bear fruit in You. You are my life and strength, and I now draw from that well than never runs dry. I lay aside every weight and sin that might try to hold me back. Let me realize Your love as never before. Help me to love You in all I am. I embrace life in the Spirit, which is to daily deny myself, take up my cross, and follow You.
Love, Your Daughter.
