GOD MADE MARRIAGE

JUICY JULY 2025: ABBA FATHER

DAY 8: GOD MADE MARRIAGE

TEXT: MALACHI 2:15–16; EPHESIANS 5:22–32; GENESIS 1:26–27

BIBLE STUDY: JOHN 8

 

Hello dear sisters, and welcome to Day 8 of Juicy July 2025. Glory be to God for how far He has brought us. What a journey it has been already, and we give Him all the praise.

By God’s grace, starting from today and over the next few days, we’re going to be turning our hearts to something very dear to God’s heart: marriage!

Yes, marriage.

No matter how much the world tries to downplay it, no matter how loudly the culture mocks it, twists it, or redefines it, marriage remains one of the most important things in life. It is sacred. It is powerful. And it is something the Lord cares deeply about.

We cannot afford to ignore it. We must pray. We must understand. We must align. So, whether you are single, engaged, married, separated, or widowed, these next few days are for you.

Today, I pray the Lord opens the eyes of our understanding. I pray He tears down every lie we’ve believed and rebuilds our minds with truth. And I pray that He does what only He can do in our lives, homes, and marriage, through today’s prayer, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. 

Let’s go in with expectation.

 

MELODY FROM OUR HEARTS 

Let’s start with singing melody from our hearts to God. Please pause for a moment, rise up if you can, lift those hands, and praise the Lord. Let the song below rise from your core. Burst out in worship, sis. Let Him have it all.

TESTIMONY

Sis, let us read through this testimony before we go any further: 

Praise the Lord!

I have a testimony, and I’m so excited to share it because God is real! I’ve always known that God is real, and Juicy July, He never fails to come through for me. So, here I am, on the 7th day of this month, shouting from the rooftops that He has done it again!

As July began, I honestly wondered how we were going to survive the month. I looked at what we had at home and knew this wouldn’t even take us through two weeks. We were stranded. I cried out to God, “Lord, when will this end? How are we going to make it through this month?” I kept praying and saying, “God, please provide for us. Surprise us.”

And guess what? My God did it! I’ll spare you the long story, but let me just say that out of nowhere, someone just came around and this person bought us everything we needed for the entire month!

I’m talking about all types of rich foods, home needs and even deep personal needs that only God and I had been talking about. Some I had not even opened my mouth to tell God yet. Things I never even voiced out loud God provided them all. My Father made it happen!

By the time we calculated everything that was purchased that day, it ran into hundreds of thousand worth of items. That’s how deep it was! Someone just obeyed the Lord and made July juicy for me.

This is truly amazing, and I just want to bless the name of the Lord.

Praise the Lord, BUD! Ah, surely God is in this place….Amen.

 

TESTIMONY PRAYERS

Shout Halleluyah on behalf of our sister. Amen. 

Our God is a wonder! Yours is just next in line! May your own testimony bring people to tears of joy soon, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

 

Let’s take this moment to lift our voices with gratitude:

Thank You, Lord, for these testimonies. We give You ALL the glory. None belongs to us! Father, glorify Yourself even more in the life of the testifier in Jesus’ Name. 

 

Now, say:

Oh Lord, don’t leave me out. Let me carry my own testimony with dancing from the beginning of Juicy July 2025 to the end and thereafter. Lord, may everyone praying in Juicy July 2025 have something tangible to show in Jesus Name. We receive it by faith in Jesus Name. Amen. 

 

EXHORTATION: GOD MADE MARRIAGE

Hello, dear daughter. This is your Father. Today, I want to speak to you about something very close to My heart. I want to talk to you about marriage. I know you’ve heard so much about it already. Your mom has told you her stories. Your dad may have dropped some wisdom here and there. You’ve watched movies, listened to pastors, followed marriage coaches, read books. But this time, I want you to hear directly from Me. Not secondhand. Not filtered. I want to give you a glimpse into My mind when I created it. I want to show you what I was thinking when I breathed My glory into that sacred union. Would you come with Me, come behind the scenes into the chambers where it all began? Let Me reveal to you the mystery, the beauty, the power of what I designed with My own hands.

 

Pause to read our Bible texts for today. Read them in different version if you can. Pause to digest each. Read them until light breaks forth in your heart. Then, continue: 

 

HEAR MY OWN SIDE OF THE STORY

You are My daughter. You’ve listened to the world’s version of marriage. You’ve seen the mess culture has made of it. But now, I want you to hear My side of the story: the side of the Creator, not just the created. 

Listen closely. I am God, your Father, and I did not make marriage as an afterthought. No, it was not just something nice to have. It was not a convenience or a cultural tradition. It was a divine idea, rooted in My own nature. 

You see, within the Godhead, I am not alone. The Word is with Me. The Spirit is with Me. And We are One. Not three Gods, not three separate powers, One. One in love. One in essence. One in heart. One in will. This unity is not something your natural mind can fully understand. But the Spirit can make it real to you. I can drop this truth from your head into your heart until it becomes life and light to your soul- if you will allow me! 

There is a marriage within Us. A divine fellowship. A complete and eternal oneness between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That was what was on My heart at the very beginning. That was the picture I had in mind when I said, “Let Us make man in Our image.” It was about reproducing the kind of union We share. The harmony. The fellowship. The oneness. And so, when I formed Adam, I wasn’t finished yet. I took My time. I drew Eve out of him. And I, Myself, brought her to him. I didn’t send Adam out to go searching. I orchestrated the meeting. I oversaw the connection. And there, right in that moment, marriage was born. It was the crown of creation. The final act. The union of two, made to become one, just like We are One.

 

I LOVE MARRIAGE

My dear daughter, I need you to know that, I, your Father, I love marriage! Oh, how I love it. With everything in Me, I cherish the union I designed with My own hands. If you would look back, yes, back to the very beginning, back to the Garden, back to the days when time was just unfolding, you would see that marriage wasn’t an afterthought. It wasn’t a side project or a casual idea. No, daughter, it was the crown. It was the masterpiece after all else was set in motion. After forming the heavens, after commanding the oceans, after filling the skies with stars and the earth with life, I saved something very special for the end. I saved marriage! 

I created Adam, yes, the very first male, and then, I brought forth Eve. I didn’t leave him wandering to find her. I didn’t ask him to search. I brought her to him Myself. And right there, in that sacred moment, marriage was born. The union of two, made to become one. One, just like We are One. Can you see it? The Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, bound in eternal unity. And just as We are One, I made man and woman to reflect that unity in marriage. Two distinct beings, yet joined so completely, so spiritually, that they are no longer two but one flesh.

 

MY ENEMY SHOWED UP AT MARRIAGE!

But daughter, let Me show you something you might not have noticed. It was at that very altar, at the very first marriage, that My enemy showed up. Yes, I have an enemy. An arch-enemy. He didn’t appear by the rivers. He didn’t show up to disrupt the animals. He didn’t aim at the skies or attack the stars. No, he waited. He stood at the altar. Because he knows what I love. He knows what reflects Me. And he goes straight for it. He hates what mirrors My unity, My love, My intimacy. And that’s why, from the very first marriage until now, he has waged war against it. That ancient serpent understood something most people still don’t understand: marriage is holy, powerful, and deeply spiritual!!!!

And so, he came…. to poison it.

But daughter, don’t focus on him today. We’re not giving him the spotlight. I want you to stay with Me here. Stay in My heart. Feel My longing. Understand My delight. Grasp My vision. I love marriage. I really, really do. With all My heart. With all My joy. And I want you to love it too.

 

WHERE THERE’S NOISE, LOOK AGAIN

Daughter, I want you to pay close attention to something. When you see something I created being loudly twisted, frequently misused, or constantly under debate, don’t rush past it. Pause. Look again. Because more often than not, that’s where you’ll find My heart hidden- beneath the chaos, beneath the confusion, beneath the loud voices of the age.

Take marriage for example. It’s everywhere, on billboards, in songs, in movies, in memes. Everyone has an opinion. Some mock it. Some twist it. Some redefine it. Some glorify its brokenness. You hear people say it’s just a contract. Others say it’s outdated. Some even claim it’s a trap. And yet, daughter, don’t you wonder why something so holy is so attacked? It’s not random. It’s not a coincidence. It’s because I love marriage. And the devil knows it.

The devil doesn’t waste energy on things that don’t matter. He goes after what I love. He fights what bears My image. That’s why he’s been fighting marriages from the very beginning. Because marriage is not just about companionship, about bills or babies or sex or status. Marriage is a mirror of Me. A holy shadow of the union within the Trinity. A glimpse into the love between Christ and the Church. A holy space where I reveal My nature to the world. That’s why the attacks are so fierce. That’s why it’s so misunderstood. Because marriage is not just about man and woman. It’s about Heaven and earth!

So daughter, when you hear the noise, when the world makes a mockery of marriage, when confusion surrounds it, when even My people don’t seem to get it, don’t turn away. Don’t roll your eyes. Don’t join them. Look again. Because in that broken space, My heart is still speaking. My love for marriage is still burning. And I’m calling My daughters, yes, you, to rise, to see, and to stand for what I created.

 

MARRIAGE IS DEEPLY SPIRITUAL

So yes, daughter, marriage is spiritual. Deeply spiritual. That is why I call you into spirituality with Me first. I’d always start with you there before ever launching you into marriage! I’d always lead you into a place of depth and true intimacy. Because no one who truly walks with Me, who yields to My Spirit, can ever get marriage wrong. When you humble yourself, when you submit your heart to Me, you will walk in marriage just as I designed it. You will understand its sacred flow. You will know its rhythm. You will carry its weight with grace. 

Marriage reflects Me. It is Mine. I made it to mirror My own unity, My oneness, My togetherness- the divine love and purpose that intertwine in the Godhead itself. Until this truth settles deep in your heart, marriage will remain hard to grasp and harder to keep. But when you step into the Spirit, when you see it through My eyes, you will watch marriage bloom into all that I intended.

 

Many people try to fix marriage with physical things: buying flowers, going on trips, exchanging gifts. But ask yourself, have these things truly solved the real problems? Did they remove the invisible chains that bind marriages? You know the answer. 

Others lean on psychological tools: communication tips, love languages, understanding temperaments. These can help and offer insight. But daughter, have they saved you from all the pain, the spiritual attacks, the generational patterns, the unseen warfare? No, they have not. These are soulish tools, dealing with the mind and emotions. They are useful, but they do not build the foundation. 

The true foundation of marriage is spiritual!!! That is where battles are fought and won. That is where healing and lasting love begin. If your marriage will stand strong, if it will thrive and reflect My glory, it must be built on the Spirit.

 

THE WORLD SHOULD LEARN FROM YOU

Dear daughter, you are not to learn marriage from the world. No, the world should learn from you because you carry My Spirit and walk with Me. Marriage is spiritual, and only the spiritual can truly reflect it.

But when I look at My church, My blood-bought people who gather in My name, I search for marriages that look like Me, and they are rare. I watch marriage conferences and ask, whose voice is this? Because it’s not Mine. It’s clever, trendy, emotional, but it is not holy. It’s not rooted in Me. Tell Me, daughter, where is this coming from? Why do My people borrow from broken systems to fix what I authored? Why run to soulish theories instead of sitting quietly at My feet? Where are the marriages that show the oneness of the Trinity, born in My fire, upheld by My Word, and sustained by My Spirit?

I made marriage for My glory. When I saw Adam and Eve united perfectly, I said, “This is very good.” How could it be flawed when it’s drawn from the perfect Godhead that is seamless, eternal, holy? But now, daughter, I look again at My Church, My Body, and I ask, where is marriage? 

The Church is allowing My enemy to win. And this should not be so. Some churches are silent about marriage, as though it’s not sacred, as though it was not born from My heart. Others teach things that sound good, but are far from Me. Doctrines built on culture, shaped by emotions, twisted by opinions, not at all rooted in My Word. Many churches don’t even understand what marriage truly is. They join people in ceremonies, but they don’t prepare them for what lies ahead. They don’t invite Me in. And when real life comes crashing, when destiny clashes with immaturity, the union falls apart. My enemy, the same one who waited quietly at Eden, returns again and again to destroy, to deceive, to wound what I created.

And now look, daughter. A generation is rising that doesn’t even want marriage. They laugh at it. They fear it. They think it’s a trap. Why? Because they’ve seen pain. They’ve tasted brokenness. They’ve watched homes fall apart. Marriage was planted in the wrong soil: in hearts that were selfish, carnal, soulish. And now, the harvest is bitter. 

This is not how I designed it to be. I made marriage for My children, those who walk with Me, who hear Me, who lean on My Word. I made marriage to be lived out in the Spirit, through the help of My presence. But see what has become of it. My heart aches.

 

MY DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE

Daughter, My design is not evil. It never was. I made the man to love, deeply, sacrificially, completely. To lay his life down for his wife, to give everything for her joy, her safety, her peace. That is how I formed him. And the woman? I made her to receive, not as a lesser, but as one trusted with life itself. The one who listens, who yields, who receives the seed and nurtures it into fullness. I didn’t create you to be looked down on. How could I look into your eyes, My woman, and see anything less than beauty? You shine when you are joined with your husband, not because you vanish into him, but because together, you reveal something eternal. Just as the Word, the Spirit, and I move as One, praising, loving, creating, we are never apart. That’s the beauty I had in mind when I breathed life into marriage. Never separate. Always together. Always one.

Also, I made marriage to raise godly seeds. Children who would grow strong in truth, who would crush the enemy’s plans, who would carry My light into the earth. But daughter, look around. How can good seeds grow when father and mother are no longer one? When homes are full of division, not devotion? The enemy has worked hard to distract and divide, to turn parents into strangers, to replace family altars with screens and schedules. So many homes have no prayer, no love, no warmth. And the children will always reflect what they see. Unforgiving. Detached. Bitter. Drawn to everything the world offers because they haven’t tasted My presence in their own homes. I look across the earth for godly seeds, but I can barely find them, dear daughter!

Dear daughter, I know what the world says. It tells you marriage is yours to define. That you can rewrite the script. That if it gets too hard, you can just walk away. But I am asking you to listen to another voice. Mine!!! I have a hope, that you will not follow the crowd, but follow Me. That you will say, like your Big Brother said, “I have come not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” Because when you let Me teach you, when you surrender your marriage to Me, when you give Me your home, I make something glorious. Something that looks like Me. And that’s when marriage becomes holy. That’s when it becomes beautiful!

Would you let Me build your home? Not just any home, but a dwelling for My glory. Would you say, from deep inside, “Not my will but Yours be done, even here, in my marriage”? Are you building for yourself, or are you willing to hand it over completely and say, “Father, let my home show the world who You are”? That, daughter, is where beauty begins. That’s when heaven touches earth through your walls.

So many believe that if you follow Me, if you surrender your home to Me, you will lose your joy. They think My ways are dull, dry, cold. But that is a lie, a loud, convincing lie from My enemy. The truth is the opposite. My way is full of joy. Real joy. My kind of home is full of laughter that doesn’t fade, peace that cannot be stolen, and love that runs deep. My kind of marriage is steady. Safe. Powerful. Full of purpose. My kind of children carry fire in their bones, truth in their mouths, and Me in their hearts. I build homes that radiate My glory. Places where joy flows like a river. Where forgiveness is easy. Where unity feels natural. Where love is not a struggle.

So no, daughter, My way is not heavy. It is not sad. My burden is light. My design is beautiful. And I want to build something beautiful with you.

 

WILL YOU BELIEVE ME NOW, DAUGHTER?

Dear daughter, do you believe Me? Do you understand now why the world’s way will never work? The way of the world is loud and shallow. It offers convenience, not covenant. It tells you that marriage can be entered quickly and left just as easily. But that is not My way. My way is not disposable. My way is deep, enduring, sacred. When you walk into marriage with Me, you stay. You grow. You die to self. You let Me prune you, teach you, shape you. And out of that surrender, your marriage begins to shine with My glory.

So stop looking, daughter, at the broken mirrors around you. Stop drawing your conclusions from homes that claim to know Me, yet look nothing like Me. Yes, they may sound spiritual, but their marriages are full of sadness, bitterness, strife and that does not reflect Me. I’m telling you gently, but clearly: they are not My reflection. So do not let their stories steal your hope. Don’t let their struggle rob your faith. There are some, very few, who reflect Me in their homes. They are My remnant. And I want you to join them.

Can You Hear the Pain in My Voice? Daughter, can you hear the ache in My words? Can you feel the weight of what I’m saying? I’m longing for you to join the few who will reflect Me. 

Marriage belongs to Me. I created it. I alone hold the blueprint. I alone have the manual. Will you trust Me to build yours? Will you let Me define it? Can you believe everything I’ve whispered into your heart today?

 

I HAVE HOPE IN YOU!

Dear daughter, the reason I’m whispering this to you today is simple. I love marriage. I made it. And I want you to love it too. If you truly love Me, then carry this burden with Me. I long to see holy marriages rise again. I need marriages built on My truth. Marriages that make the world look again and wonder. I look forward to you building one for Me. I look forward to your prayers, to your intercession, to you standing in the gap for the marriages in your generation. Marriage is meant to be beautiful. Sweet. Sacrificial. Full of love and glory. There is no evil in the Trinity, so why should evil reign in marriage? You are not helpless. You are Mine. And I have made you strong.

You are a dominion, daughter. I have given you authority. My Son, your big Brother, has already paid the price. His blood has opened the way. Now you carry power. You carry dominion. And I want you to use it, especially in the area of marriage. I want you to conquer it. Not just for yourself, but for your friends, your church, your generation. Stop learning marriage from the world. Let Me teach you. Let those who have gone ahead of you in the Spirit teach you. Build marriages that look like Me. Build homes that carry My fragrance. I want to walk beside you in marriage. I want to fill it with wine like I did at Cana. That’s what I always do. I always turn ordinary water into something glorious.

I don’t want you to do marriage alone. I want to do marriage with you.

 

PAUSE AND THINK

So, daughter, I ask you now: could you take some time… to think? Think deeply. Quietly. Honestly. What have you truly believed about marriage? What silent expectations have grown in your heart? How have you seen marriage? Have you taken it lightly? Spoken loosely about it? Thought little of its weight? Have you mocked My ways, even unknowingly? Have you believed you must do it all on your own, read all the right books, master all the techniques, chase every expert’s advice, without truly trusting Me?

What has your posture been? Do you trust Me enough with your marriage? Or has it mostly been about you? Are you mature enough now to hand it over? To believe that what I say is true, regardless of what anyone else thinks? 

Take time, daughter. Pause. Examine every thought you’ve had about marriage. Lay them beside My Word. Do they align? Or have you borrowed from a broken system?

Daughter, only what aligns with Me can reflect Me. And only what reflects Me… can truly last.

 

GIVE ME YOUR HEART FIRST

Daughter, before you ever give your hand in marriage, give Me your heart. Let Me have the whole of you, your desires, your fears, your dreams, your past, your expectations. I am not just interested in building your marriage. I want you. I want your love. I want your trust. I want your nearness. Because marriage begins with the heart. And if your heart is Mine, your home will be Mine too.

I am asking you to be surrendered. I want to walk with you, whisper to you, prepare you. I want to heal the wrong mindsets. Uproot the lies. Break the fear. Fill you with peace. I want to build a new foundation, one that is firm, one that is holy, one that reflects My eternal love.

So, before anything else, before the wedding day, before the vows, before the vision board, come to Me. Sit with Me. Let Me make your heart strong. Let Me teach you how to love like I do. Because when I am your First Love, everything else will follow.

Marriage is not your ultimate purpose. I AM. Marriage is not your full identity. I AM.  Marriage is not your safe place. I AM. And when you are rooted in Me, when you are fully Mine, you will carry My glory into your home. You will build with wisdom. You will love with truth. You will war with victory. You will raise children that know My voice. You will not only enjoy marriage, you will reveal Me through it.

So come, daughter. Give Me your heart. Let’s begin from there.

 

GIVE ME BACK YOUR HOME, DAUGHTER

My dear married daughter, you’ve been carrying so much. You’ve tried to be strong. You’ve done all the things you were told would work. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, followed the advice. You’ve bent and stretched and kept showing up because you believe in marriage. Because you want it to work. But daughter, you’ve also grown tired. You’ve felt unseen. You’ve quietly questioned if this is how it’s supposed to be. You’ve wondered why doing everything “right” still doesn’t feel like enough. And today, I’m reaching for you to call you back.

You’ve built your marriage with love, yes, but so much of it has been with your own hands, in your own strength, guided by your own understanding. You’ve wanted to please Me, yet too often you’ve relied on yourself. I see the places where control has crept in. I see where fear has dictated your reactions. I see the wounds you’ve tried to cover, the disappointments you’ve hidden behind polite smiles and Sunday service appearances. But daughter, I am not just the God of your prayers, I am the God of your home. And I want it back.

Let Me in again, not just at the dinner table or in the morning devotions, but into the architecture of your marriage. Let Me into your expectations, your routines, your memories. Let Me touch the foundation and begin rebuilding, not patching what’s cracked, but restoring what’s holy. You are not the savior of your marriage, I am. And it was never meant to rest on your shoulders. So release it. Yield it. Surrender your home to Me, not with fear of what I might remove, but with faith in what I will restore.

Your husband is not your enemy. The silence, the differences, the disappointments, they are not beyond My reach. I am the same God who turned bitter waters sweet. I am the same God who took dust and breathed life. And I am the same God who still heals hearts, revives love, and restores joy to weary homes. But I need you to stop trying to fix it on your own. I need you to come back to Me, not just as My daughter, but as a builder of My dwelling.

Let your home become My sanctuary again. Let your words reflect My wisdom, not your frustration. Let your love be shaped by My Spirit, not your mood. Let your motherhood flow from My strength, not your exhaustion. Daughter, your marriage is not just a relationship, it’s an altar. And I am calling you to lay it before Me again.

You’ve said the vows, but now I ask you to make another: “Lord, I give You my home.” as a holy offering. Not because you’re out of ideas, but because you finally see, only what is built in Me can truly stand. I don’t need your perfection but your permission. Let Me lead. Let Me teach. Let Me fill your home with the fragrance of heaven.

This is not the end, daughter. This is the return. And if you’ll give Me your home, I’ll give you back joy. I’ll give you laughter again. I’ll restore the sweetness that’s been lost in routine and strain. I’ll cover your walls with peace. I’ll anoint your conversations. I’ll show your children what glory looks like, right in their living room.

So come. Bring Me the whole house. The rooms you love and the rooms you avoid. The seasons you remember fondly, and the ones you wish you could forget. I am not afraid of your story. I am the One who redeems it. Let Me build your home again, daughter. This time, with Me at the center. This time, My way. And I promise, you will not regret it.

 

STIRRING THE WATERS

Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.

And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba:  “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”

Let’s start stirring. 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE

We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now. 

Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Prayer for Mercy

Righteous Father, I come before You with a trembling heart and a bowed spirit! Have mercy on Your Church and on my generation, O Lord! We have failed You and misrepresented Your holy covenant of marriage! Have mercy. Forgive us for treating what is sacred as ordinary and common! Forgive us for replacing Your design with worldly philosophies and ideas! Forgive us for building marriages without inviting Your Spirit to lead!

Have mercy on the Church for our silence, compromise, and shallow teachings! Forgive us for soulish conferences and ceremonies lacking Your glory! Forgive us for joining people in marriage without preparing their hearts for You! Forgive us for tolerating adultery, divorce, mockery, and lust in Your house! Have mercy on my generation that has laughed at marriage and rebelled against its purpose! We have called bitter what You called beautiful, and been casual and selfish! We have chased careers and applause, neglecting the covenant of marriage! We have not built altars of marriage in righteousness or homes that disciple children!

Forgive us, Lord. Forgive us. Forgive us! Let Your mercy triumph over judgment in our lives and in our homes! Let the blood of Jesus cry louder than our failures and mistakes!

Let revival fall on our homes and restoration come to our altars!

Raise voices in this generation, sons and daughters who carry Your burden for marriage!

Raise up a Church that is pure, passionate, and rooted deeply in Your truth!

Let this generation be known as the one that returned to Your heart!

Heal us, restore us, revive us, O Lord, in Jesus’ mighty name!

STANDING IN THE GAP

Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these as if they were yours:

ONE:I want my prayer request to be in form of Thanksgiving, because I believe God has done it. I am thanking God for making me to carry my miracle twins( a boy and a girl) this month and for making the pregnancy journey a smooth one. and I’m thanking God for making everyone else trusting God for the fruit of the womb to be supernaturally settled too.

 

TWO: God should help me to concentrate and be fully focused especially during prayer. Once I want to pray the devil starts bringing distractions and unnecessary thoughts and I find myself battling to focus and pray at the same time.

God please order my steps and direct my paths. Sometimes when I look at my life it looks like I have wasted time and retrogressing. God should show me mercy and give me divine speed in every area of my life

God heal me permanently from every demonic headache and any sickness in my body.

God should settle me maritally this year in Jesus name Amen

 

THREE: My immediate younger sister has been complaining of sickness for about 2 months now and she’s complaining of having death dreams. I want God to deliver her completely from sickness, devil and death. There won’t be sorrow in my family in Jesus name.

I also want all my family members to become genuinely saved

 

FOUR: (1)I want God to perfect everything concerning my Health this very month of July in Jesus name.
(2) I want God to visit my daughter in law’s with the Fruits of the Womb this very month according to Deuteronomy 7:14 in Jesus name.
(3) I want God to give all my Children Genuine Salvation and deliver them from the Spirit of Religion in Jesus name.

 

Round off with thanksgiving, 

 

FATHER’S CORNER

Let the instrumental below play freely while you talk to God. Imagine Him seated right before you. Now, start to talk to Him like you can see Him. Heaven is open. Your Father is right before you. Ask away! Ask real things, meat, not chaff. It’s you and Him now. Spend this 10 minutes well, unrushed. spend more time if you so desire but make sure you spend time with your father. I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!

Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
