The Twelve Days of Christmas Blessings for My Beloved - Prosperity
Through my vast experience walking with many people desiring to be married, one of the things I have heard, and observed from the men is their need to feel financially stable before they commit to a long term relationship or marriage. Not long after beginning 1 + 1 = One, while standing in line at my favorite Whole Foods, the cover of the Atlantic Magazine caught my eye -
As you may have seen a few days ago, one of the phrases that raises my hackles is “there are no good men left!” The articles I found in the Atlantic, a secular magazine, confirmed that there are many voices speaking (and therefore giving power to) the words that, “there are no good men left!”
NO! That is not the voice of God.
Take a look - from the November Atlantic 2011:
“Recent years have seen an explosion of male joblessness and a steep decline in men’s life prospects that have disrupted the “romantic market” in ways that narrow a marriage-minded woman’s options: increasingly, her choice is between deadbeats (whose numbers are rising) and playboys (whose power is growing). But this strange state of affairs also presents an opportunity: as the economy evolves, it’s time to embrace new ideas about romance and family—and to acknowledge the end of “traditional” marriage as society’s highest ideal."
And there is even a book!
"In a new book, Why There Are No Good Men Left: The Romantic Plight of the New Single Woman, the social historian Barbara Dafoe Whitehead considers the challenges facing the contemporary single woman in her search for a mate, and argues that the prevailing courtship system must be transformed."
We know that the words we speak or pray or declare have the power to change and create because we are sons and daughters of the King of kings! We have dominion! This Christmas lets send a blessing of prosperity to the person God has chosen as our Kingdom marriage partner (future OR current marriage.)
One of the Hebrew words for Prosper or Prosperity is Shalom - PEACE! When one is prospering, he is peaceful. We are going to look at one of the other words....
Prosper, Hebrew - tsalach, Strong’s #6743: To rush; to advance, prosper, make progress, succeed, be profitable. To make prosperous, bring to successful issue, cause to prosper. To show or experience prosperity, prosper.
This is an interesting word because it is the same word used when the Holy Spirit came upon David, Saul, and Gideon to empower them. Come upon us Holy Spirit!
On the tenth day of Christmas, we give our True Love ...the gift of Prosperity.
Father God, thank you for sending Your anointing to prosper to the people you have chosen to join us in Kingdom Marriages. Thank You that when we declare Your Word, which is THE Truth, changes will happen in the lives of the people for whom we are praying - even though we may not know them!
Lord God, we declare a multiplication of these declarations to change the atmosphere, and change mindsets about marriage around the world! (This email is going from the USA to Hong Kong!)
“Save now, I pray, O LORD
O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity!” (Psalm 118:25)
“Let the LORD be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants.’” (Psalm 35:27 NKJV)
- Holy Spirit, we pray, come upon (prosper) the people You have called to Kingdom marriage - NOW send prosperity!
- Give them Shalom - peace and prosperity!
- We declare that ALL things are possible with God, and that there are a multitude of GOOD men who are assigned to a Kingdom Marriage. It is their destiny!
- We speak the truth of God over the lies about marriage in our culture, and that our marriage partners will have ears to hear the Truth.
- We declare that our spouses “will remember the LORD their god, for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers.” (Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV)
- We declare that, “He (our spouse) will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring forth fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper!”
Thank you Lord that we can hope, and wait with expectancy for the fulfillment of the desires of our hearts!
AMEN! It is firmly, truly so!
Expecting to be amazed ~
