The 7 Prayers I Pray Over my Future Husband

Guest Writer: Taylor Banks
The first time I encountered the phrase “praying for my future spouse” was while reading When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy in March of 2012.
I was very uncomfortable with the idea of doing so. I contemplated praying for my future husband, but ultimately I decided that would be an inappropriate way to spend a portion of my prayer time – when I could be focused on so many other things.
 
Over the next two years, God confronted me through dreams and the ministries of people that I needed to begin praying for him. It wasn’t until after browsing books on amazon in 2014 that I came across a book called Praying for Your Future Husband by Robin Jones Gunn and Tricia Goyer. At this point God had been dealing with me about my future husband, family and our ministry. I could no longer avoid what He was instructing me to do.
 
I pray as a means of covering my future spouse so that we can bring glory to God in His due time. I have learned that God is deeply concerned with who we will spend our lives with. The more I pursued God’s purpose for my life, the more God revealed how my spouse would fit into my purpose. He has set aside a person for each of us that are called to be married that will push us towards fulfilling the purpose he has for our lives. This purpose ultimately will bring glory to God and add more souls to the kingdom.
 
Second, I pray because the sad truth is that it is extremely difficult for men to live a pure life in submission to Christ with contrary messages inundating them from the media. The world says it’s okay to have sex before marriage, it’s okay to juggle multiple women until you find the one, you need to test drive before marriage, you should live together before marriage etc. The truth is my future husband needs my prayers to cover him and protect him. I am invested in making sure that he reaches the place God destined for him while he was in his mother’s womb.
 
Here is a list of some of my prayers for my future spouse:

  1. To pursue God’s heart and purpose for his life

2. The ability to trust God through every season
3. That God would guard his heart, eyes and ears
4. For the ability to lead
5. For balance of family, friends and ministry
6. Healing in all areas
7.  Obedience and commitment to God
 
I now realize the importance of me praying for my future spouse. You may be struggling with if it is God ordained for you to pray for your future spouse. I want you to know prayer is the best gift that you can give you future spouse while in your single season.

The Right Way to Guard Your Heart

Portrait of an attractive african american woman with laptop looking out of window

I believe we have made relationships with the opposite sex harder than they should be. We have taken this scripture (Proverbs 4:23) completely out of context.
 
Here are 2 reasons we have been guarding our hearts wrong and 2 ways to set you free from that:
 
1.Instead of guarding our hearts, we build huge walls between us and the opposite sex.
Let me set you free. Stop acting like every guy is a possible date mate, or every gal thinks you are pursing them if you say hi. Having this mindset sets us up for failure in marriage. We need to practice having good healthy relationships with the opposite sex now, because when we get married, we are not just going to have friends of the same sex. The main reason we struggle with this is because we do not have pure motives. We should start looking at them as brothers and sisters, not as potential date mates.
 
2.We use the phrase “we are just friends” to guard our hearts
As singles, we decide how much time we spend with every person in our lives. It’s not like anybody is waiting for us at home. However, I am afraid that some of us take the context “it’s ok to be friends with the opposite sex” way too out of hand.  If we spend too much time with that person, I assure you it will turn into something else.  One always ends up liking the other, mainly because you are sharing your heart and giving this person more time than you should.
If you have been spending too much time with your “best friend” (of the opposite sex), then this is where the guarding your heart part comes in handy.  It doesn’t mean you completely have to cut the relationship off, it just means that you will have to come up with some practical boundaries. Unless this person has communicated with you that they have feelings for you, then you have no business hanging out with them 24/7.
 
So which one is it? First you say we must have friendships of the opposite sex, and then you say be careful. Exactly! We need to have spiritual brothers and sisters in our lives. But, we need to do it wisely. Just yesterday I opened a letter from one of my best friends, Tucker that he wrote to me on his birthday telling me how much he appreciates our friendship and encouraging me. Which by the way, he is dating another one of my best friends, Sarah Beth. My point is, his motives were completely pure. It is possible, ladies and gentlemen. It is possible to have guy friends and see them as brothers. It is possible to have girls as friends and see them purely like sisters.
 
So I say all this to say, don’t be that awkward guy that is scared to talk to girls and only hangs out with the guys, or that guy that only talks to certain girls to only date them. Ladies, don’t give guys the cold shoulder. The Bible says, “Be kind to one another,” it doesn’t say only be kind with people of the same sex. So,why do we think that we can be selective with our kindness? Being kind with men will not come off as liking them!
 
We are all guilty of this, but we can all be set free. If you have an issue with this, I would bring it to the Lord and ask him to give you a heart for both men and women, and to seek every relationship with pure motives.

The Bowman's Story: Why Your Virginity is your Daddy's Business

There seems to be a lot of  buzz about being a virgin these days, especially since recording artist Tim Bowman Jr. married his bride Brelyn Freeman, now Bowman.
 
The buzz does not come from the fact that they got married,but rather because Brelyn, the bride, gave her father a certificate of virginity stating that her hyman was intact and that she was a virgin. Most people are confused as to why she needed to do this, and even more so, why she posted it on social media.
 
I do not know the girl personally, so I can not tell why for sure, but I can go into some of the  biblical significance of your virginity, and why it was her daddy’s business after all. Before I begin, it is also important to note that it is reported that the groom was also a virgin, which is amazing!
 
I am very proud of both of them! In a culture full of pressure to conform sexually, it is very rare that couples wait. With that said, let me give some biblical background as to why the bride may have decided to present the certificate to her father publicly:
 
Duetoronmy 22:13-18( New Life Version)
“13 If a man takes a wife and goes in to her and decides he does not like her, 14 and says that she did sinful acts and puts her to shame before others and says, ‘I took this woman, but when I came near her, I found that she had been with another man,’ 15 then the girl’s father and mother should bring what is needed to prove she has not been with another man to the leaders of the city at the gate. 16 The girl’s father will say to the leaders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man for a wife. But he turned against her. 17 He said she has done sinful acts, saying, “I found that your daughter has been with another man.” But I brought what will prove that my daughter has not been with another man.’ And they will spread the clothing in front of the leaders of the city. 18 Then the leaders of that city will take the man and punish him. 19 They will make him pay a hundred pieces of silver and give it to the girl’s father, because he has put to shame the name of an Israelite girl who has not had a man. She will still be his wife. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
 
So, why a marriage certificate?
 
1. It is a Form of Protection- Our culture has a hard time grasping this concept because we have diluted the seriousness of marriage. While Jesus came and fulfilled the law, which allows us to be free from the law, there are still some great things within the law that obviously this young lady and her family have chosen to continue to practice.
Presenting a marriage certificate to her father is symbolic to the bloody sheet the Israelite girls gave to their parent’s after the wedding night. If people are freaking out over a certificate, I am not sure what they would do with the bloody sheet.
It was the fathers job to guard the daughters purity and heart. Could it be possible that Brelyn was thanking her father for the great job he had done in helping protect her purity and her heart? In the passage I shared, the father used the bloody sheet to confirm that her daughter was for sure a virgin. The medical examination was this young ladies confirmation.
 
2. It is a Sign of Honor- Both men and women are encouraged to keep their bodies for their spouse.  For women in the old testament, it brought honor to her family. It was a shameful thing for a woman to be running around sleeping with whoever she wanted.
There was honor in waiting and keeping herself pure. A woman being pure was not just for her sake, but it was a sign that the family raised her well, thus she was suitable for the best man possible. Men were expected to be pure as well, and there were consequences for their promiscuity too. However, because the bride was being given away, it brought honor to the father to know he was giving his daughter away as a virgin. Perhaps Brelyn felt like it would be good to honor her family publicly for encouraging her and teaching her to keep herself pure before marriage. Maybe she wanted to honor and gift her father with this certificate. Remember, in the old testament the women gave her parents her bloody sheet!
 
3. It is a public decree of devotion- In the passage we read when a man tried to put away a woman dishonorably, it was done publicly. Everyone gathered in the town square to hash the matter out. Marriage was not just between the man and the woman, the whole community was involved. Perhaps this is  why we have seen moral decay in our own culture, marriage is no longer communal.
I come from an African culture where marriage is still very much communal. Everyone is invested in the marriage, and everyone works hard to make sure it works. If the shaming was public, why could the celebration of purity not be public as well?  Could it be that Brelyn wanted to make a public declaration of God’s faithfulness in keeping her?
As I have mentioned, I do not know the young lady, nor her reasons behind her choice. But, based upon my understanding of marriage and the biblical culture, maybe these are some of the reasons she chose to share it with both her father and the public.
 
Before I finish, I want to share some other practical reasons for all singles to preserve their virginity and celebrate it with joy their wedding night:
1.Spiritual Protection– Sex outside of marriage is a sin; sin opens doors to the enemy. There are certain things in our lives which we can not break through and certain promises we can not attain if we are in sin and open rebellion. it is as simple as that. Sin keeps us from God and His promises.
2. Emotional Protection- God created sex to bond people together; waiting keeps you from becoming entangled with the wrong person emotionally.
3. Physical Protection– Sex can take a toll on the body outside of marriage. Waiting protects you from unwanted sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy before marriage.
4. Guards against heartbreak- Breakups are hard enough, but often much harder if you have been involved sexually with that person. Sex was meant to keep two married people together. God created it as a glue. That’s why divorce is painful and sexual relationships end painfully, God never intended that sexual covenant to be broken.
5. It honors God- You can honor God with your words, or you can honor him with your life. Controlling your sexual appetite is one of the hardest things to do. But, when you can submit yourself to God completely in that area,  enriches your intimacy and brings you closer to God.
 
Here is a thank you video from Brelyn along with the contract she signed with her father years ago. Check it out here under their thank you tab.
Cheers Timothy and Brelyn & good Job!

How Dating the Wrong Person Almost Killed my God-Given Gifts

Couple not talking after a fight on the sofa in living room at home

Keep Watch over your heart, it’s where life starts Proverbs 4:23 (MSG)
 
For those who knew me as a child, they’d say I was extremely jovial, always cracking jokes, loved having fun, in addition to being extremely compassionate! I loved to see people smile, and would do everything in my power to contribute to the happiness of other’s. Well, right around junior year of high school that began to change, it got worse in college, but in grad school my old personality began to resurface once more.
 
What happened within those 6 years? I know now that I offered my God-given gifts to those who abused it. No matter how much they misused me and my gifts, I continued to offer them. Eventually, I began to despise who God created me to be. At that time I blamed God, “If you would have never made me this way, I wouldn’t be so hurt”.
 
The one situation that hurt me the most occurred in college. My grandfather passed in February of 2009, afraid of being by myself, I requested the presence of the guy I was dating. He came to my dorm (one floor away) for what seemed like 30 minutes and complained the entire time, “Can I leave?” “Do you still need me up here?” I let him leave. But, I remember when he was having a hard time with his parents divorce. I jumped in my car and drove 45 minutes to make sure he wasn’t alone. And, that’s only one of many examples. Slowly but surely, the mistreatment of those in my life turned me into a cold-hearted young lady. I now associated compassion with weakness, and jovialness as a “joke”.
 
It wasn’t until graduate school that I grew tired of being mean, unhappy, and living a life unfulfilled! I knew that wasn’t the life God created me to live simply because it was hard to maintain! As we know, God’s burden is light and his yoke is easy; for me there was nothing easy about being mean and melancholy. As time progressed, the more I worshiped, the more I felt what wasn’t mine (meanness and a lack of compassion) lift off of me. Oh, and it feels amazing to be the person God created me to be once more.
 
Of all of this, I’ve learned to protect my God-given gifts in any and every relationship, both romantic and non-romantic. When dating, be sure to date those who sharpen your gifts, not stifle them. As a therapist to adolescent, a CEO of a mentoring organization, and servant in ministry, its impossible to thrive without a smile and compassion. It’s almost as if the enemy saw what my future was comprised of, so he did his best to shut it down; his weapon of choice….dating. Don’t allow your desire for companionship to kill the very thing you were created for.
 
Be encouraged and protect your gifts at any cost!

The One Thing The Enemy is After in Your Marriage

355726

If there is one thing the enemy hates and does not want you and your spouse to prosper in, is oneness. He came out of communion and unity with the Father when he was cast out of heaven. Our communion and unity with God, and our unity and communion with our spouse, is a constant reminder of something he does not have.
 
Oneness, unity, and agreement is a powerful tool the lord has given believers. He says wherever two or three are are gathered in His name, He will be there (Matthew 18:20). So, what that means is that  anytime you and your spouse are together, and the name of Jesus is on your lips and in your hearts, God is there. Satan hates that! If the presence of God is there, then that means arguing, contention, and fighting will not be. he desires that you be in a constant state of disagreement.
 
The Bible says “how can two walk together lest they agree? (Amos 3:3). So, you know what the enemy is after, your agreement. He knows that  if you do not come into agreement under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit you will walk apart. When you are apart, not just physically, but in belief, in position, and in understanding, the enemy can feed you lies, like he did in the Garden to eve.
 
Agreement does not necessarily mean thinking the same on every little thing. it means making a conscious decision to walk as one on the big things. Things like:
 
1.Divorce not being is an option.
2.Always talking through things, instead of holding them in.
3.Always walking in forgiveness.
4.Always Making the marriage a priority, not our own emotions or desires.
5.Having similar goals and views about children and family.
 
Take time out to create major components of how you will govern your marriage and family, come into agreement with those things, and when the enemy tries to come and bring confusion or lack of focus, quickly get back on the same page!
 
If you and your spouse are constantly in disagreement or not walking together, try the following things.
1.Praying together daily.
2.Doing a daily devotion.
3.Having sex at least three times a week.
4.Getting counseling.
5.Walking through unresolved issues.

4 Things to Teach Your Kids About Marriage

My five-year-old daughter is becoming an expert on all things related to womanhood. With my wife pregnant with our third child, Evy packs her shirt with clothes to be like her pregnant Mama. She also tenderly rocks her doll to sleep and speaks sweetly to the doll when it’s “awake.”
She dreams about her future marriage, talking about her wedding day and the man she wants to marry. She fantasizes about getting dressed up in her beautiful white wedding dress and wearing lipstick and earrings and dancing with her future husband. That’s when beads of sweat form on my forehead and I begin think: Who is this man going to be?
 
My ever-present prayer as I watch my daughter dream about her future is “Lord, help me set the standards for my children’s marriages.” As I fall on my face before the ultimate Father, I ask myself four questions that enable me to calibrate how to help my children have tangibly realistic and Godly standards when it comes to shaping their expectations.
 

1. Am I Showing My Kids How A Man Treats a Woman?

With a highly-impressionable three-year old son in the house, the way that he sees me treat his mom is going to shape his interactions with females. If he sees me covering and honoring my wife, and loving her with a pure and selfless love, then I can raise a son that Godly women ask God for. I want to set the standard for my daughter by causing her to mold her standards of a good man by how she sees me treat her mom. Our society has more than enough examples of men-gone-wrong. Do I esteem and cover my wife with the sacrificial love that Christ offers His Bride, laying a foundation for my children to build upon in their own future marriages?
 

2. Are We Demonstrating the Joy of Marriage?

I preach about marriage a lot, but to say that I enjoy my marriage almost seems redundant. But it’s true. There are scores of Christians who believe in the sanctity of marriage, and yet are miserable in their own marriages. But, our marriage brings us joy, and we long to express this joy to our kids. On date nights, we put on nice clothes and can’t contain our excitement. The kids sense our energy as we prepare to spend time together. They smile as we hug and laugh throughout the week. Are we able to continually live out that joy, even in the course of our day-to-day?
 

3. Does My Marriage Create Stability in Our Family?

On Friday afternoons when I come home from work, my daughter scurries up to me and screams, “Daddy! We’re going to be a family this weekend!” This is because my wife excitedly tells our kids on Fridays that Daddy won’t have to work on the upcoming weekend, which means we get to do things together. The litmus test that our families are stable is that our kids enjoy family time. To our little girl, our family isn’t complete when we’re not all together.
 

4. Are We Proving to Our Kids That Marriage God’s Way Works?

My wife and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary. I had planned a weekend getaway for my wife and me, but it dawned on me that anniversaries are also a family event. I brought home a cake for all of us to enjoy and explained to our kids that an anniversary is like a “family birthday,” celebrating the birth of our family together. We want our kids to see that the joy and fullness of our marriage is a result of God’s hand in our marriage and it works!
 
Marriage is an heirloom that we are constantly preparing to hand on to the next generation. The world won’t teach your children about marriage God’s way. What are you teaching your children about marriage?

10 Shocking Observations about Your Children (from a Teacher's Point of View)

I may not be a parent, but in the past five years of teaching I’ve noticed some tendencies in the majority of my students. I’ve always wondered if parents knew these things about their children. I know that in the midst of busyness and trying to parent your kids as best you can, it’s easy to lose focus on how amazing these children are, and even more so, how amazing they think YOU are. So here is a list of some observations I’ve made about children and how they view their parents (you).
 
1. They take pride in what you pride yourself on.
I often hear kids say things like, “my mom is good at math so I am too!” or “my dad and I love history.” Sports, music, traveling, etc. – if you love it, chances are pretty good your kid will enjoy them too. If you want your child to have the same successes as you, communicate with them about your strengths, and find interests that you can both share. On the flip side, I want to encourage you to be careful about how you describe your weaknesses. They are very quick to use your struggles to justify struggles they may have. If you notice your child has a similar weakness as you, work on improving it with them, instead of passing it off as ‘just the way you are.’
 
2. You are their safe place.
Every now and then, kids will get their feelings hurt at recess or they’ll feel sick, nervous, etc. and they will need some extra attention. Not in every instance – but in many – they will want to talk to their mom or dad. You’re usually who they think of first when they feel sad or upset. You provide a comfort for them that very few others have the ability to provide.
 
3. They act like you!
This may not be a surprise to any, but I am always fascinated when I get to see or talk with parents. Even your most subtle mannerisms are picked up and imitated by your kids.
 
4. They want to impress you.
I love watching kids’ faces when they hear me, or somebody else, complimenting them to you. Usually they look at you expectantly with a smile, or beaming in a way that says “Yay! I’m making my parents proud!” I have had many students who can’t wait to bring even the most minor assignment home just so they can show you how well they did!
 
5. The phrase ‘do what I say and not what I do’ doesn’t go very far.
Sure, you can probably find a way to scare them into making certain choices, but the second they are free to make their own decisions, they will do what has been modeled. They’re smart, and very observant! If you want your child to act a certain way, the best way to get them to believe you are serious about it is to act that way yourself.
 
6. They’re deep.
They like to have conversations about life, the news, God, history, friendships, etc. These topics come up because they want to talk about it, not because I bring them up! See what happens when you ask your kids a deep question. They may be young, but their minds are incredible!
 
7. They can be taught compassion.
Kids have HUGE hearts. When they start to learn what it feels like to serve other people, they get hooked. Exposing them to opportunities where they can show kindness to others will instill that quality early on, causing them to be the type of person that can change the world!
 
8. They are loyal to you.
Even if you are a foot shorter than another kid’s dad, your kid will be convinced you will dominate him in a basketball game. Even if you can’t tell a joke worth your life, your child will think you are the funniest. Despite what you can or cannot offer your child, they think you are the coolest adult alive.
 
9. They can hear you.
They might seem clueless sometimes but they do hear [and oftentimes understand] what you are saying… Enough said 🙂
 
10. They see the good in you more than you see the good in yourself.
They will relay a ‘funny’ joke you told them. They will choose you when asked to write about their hero. They talk about the times they get to spend with you, not about the times they don’t. They don’t focus on your shortcomings, mistakes, or negative experiences because that’s not how they see you. Even in those moments you feel like you have failed them, your kids still think the world of you. So have grace for yourself, and continue to love your kids and parent them as best as you know how. Chances are pretty good that you’re doing a better job than you realize!

5 Ways Moms and Wives are Changing the World

 
This one is for the ladies out there, for the mommies and wives. You are called to change the world! I want to take just a few moments to encourage you today to keep going. As I headed to Starbucks to work today after dropping my son to preschool, I thought to myself, I am just a mommy trying to change the world. I, like so many other women, wear many hats. I have the joy of leading a mentorship program and international ministry, directing a consulting and coaching business, and then have the honor of being married to an ambitious amazing man of God and mommy to two of the world’s most delightful children.
 
Out of everything I do, I have realized that being a mom and a wife  in this season are the most important. Don’t get me wrong, it is important I fulfill the call of God on my life, advance my career and make money. But, being a wife and a mother has a great rewards that we often overlook and here are 5 of them:
 
1. As a wife and a mother– You partner with God in birthing the destinies of your children and the hopes of your spouse. Moms are wired to find treasure in people and propel them.
 
2. As  a mother– You help teach children about who God is; you get to release the legacy of God through your children. You raise arrows that will go and transform nations.
 
3. As a wife– You have the honor of loving a man, holding his deepest secrets, pains and goals and then turning them into triumphs. Every man just needs one woman to believe in them to change the world, and you have the privilege of doing that as a wife.
 
4. As a wife and mother– You get to create a place of peace and joy. You can open your home up to those who have no families, who are poor in spirit, and by your decorations, cooking and loving hugs, you can heal hearts.
 
5. As a wife and mother– You have the gift of femininity, the super power that is fierce yet gentle. You can cut heads off in the spirit through your prayers and disarm the most powerful of men with your smile and hugs. You have been wired to change the world through your gentle touch and wisdom.  You are wired for greatness, even if you feel like what you are doing is small. Remember, the little ones diaper you are changing could be the next world leader. The hand you are holding at night could be  the greatest revivalist the world has seen.
 
You are important.
Your work is invaluable.
What you are doing is being recorded in heaven. Cheers!

4 Prayers to Pray to Break Financial Curses and Release Financial Blessings

Young Couple Making Video Call Using Digital Tablet

Although the Bible is very clear in 1 Timothy 6:10, “ The love of money is the root of all evil, it is also clear from Psalm 112:1-3, that “Wealth and riches are for those that fear the Lord”.
It is God’s desire to see His children move in great authority through building and distributing wealth. But, what do you do when you can’t even get out of living paycheck to paycheck?
What do you do when every time you get a financial breakthrough there is another setback waiting on the other side? What do you do when you just feel like your finances are cursed and getting stable is a distant miracle?
You must stand upon God’s Word and pray these things through. It is not God’s will for you to live in despair, nor for the poverty mentality to have its way with you. Here are 5 prayers to pray to break financial curses and increase financial blessings over your life.

  1. Father, I stand upon Philippians 4:19 which states, My God will meet my needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus”. I thank you that I do not have to put trust in my ability to meet my needs, but I put my trust in your ability to effectively work through me.
  1. Father, I stand upon Psalm 34:10 that declares that the lions may grow weak and hungry but those who seek the Lord shall lack no good thing. Lord as I seek your face I am believing that I and my family will lack no good thing.
  1. Father, I stand upon Proverbs 13:22 that states that a good man leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous. Father I am believing in you for creative ideas and opportunities to build wealth in order to leave a legacy for my children’s children. Let this be done according to your will.

4. Father, I stand upon Malachi 3:10-12 which states, Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vines in your field will not drop there before it is ripe”
Lord we thank you as we are faithful in paying our tithes that you will not only protect our finances from the evil one, but you will also cause our finances to overflow. We rebuke the devour, and trust that every dollar you have for us is ours.
These prayers are prayers that are infused with the Word of God. Continue to trust God as you journey through the season of testing in your finances. Trust His word and know that He is not a man that He should lie. He will come through for you as obey Him.
