Choose wisely.....................

Men- this one is for you and it’s important knowing many of you want the same thing! I completed two full rounds of purity studies and read over 10 books in hop...es to fully combat my desire to fill the voids in my life with little success. I began to wonder if I would ever feel completely free. In a moment of complete and utter disgust with a decision I made once again to fall backwards, Yahweh downloaded many of these thoughts in my heart and I began to write. I concluded that somewhere along the way I had lost my identity or I never really had one rooted in Christ. Men search in all different areas hoping to find themselves. This is a discovery guide in finding ones true identity. Share this with the men in your life and if you would be willing- share on your stories- it can and will change lives!

America is in an uproar. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 ... In these days we cannot trust the lies we are told by those who have an agenda against God’s people. It’s so clear that hypocrisy, deceit, twisting the truth, and staged events are used to control the narrative and our minds. Yet, the Bible tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds! The truth is within the Bible and the revelations given to us in prayer. I was convicted over the last few days about trying to be knowledgeable instead of being relational. As believers, we only need the Father and our relationship with him. Even if his word is not accessible to us, we still have the Holy Spirit and a relationship with the Most High. I’m praying for the heart of Yahweh to be my heart, so that I can feel And understand his ways. In the same way, I need my marriage to be strong during this time and to be deeply connected to my wife. We were given each other for this reason.......that we would experience an intimate relationship on all levels and give ourselves up to one another. The Bible says that husbands are to love their wife’s as Christ loves the church. That’s a very humbling and servant oriented love without any strings attached. It’s giving love without conditions and having a heart that will continue in that covenant. I have to admit that I’ve struggled with this because of my pride. But, now is the hour to spend less time on fakebook and other distractions and return to your first love. Return to God with your heart and do not fear the future. Forgive, repent, and seek the heart of Yahweh. Your life is not your own, it belongs to Yeshua (Jesus) and to your spouse. I pray for myself to become a more willing vessel at this very dark time. Also, that my marriage covenant will be the strongest, most intimate, and passionate it’s ever been. Most of all, that I would have an understanding and transformed heart that matches the heart of the Creator.

This is for the men out there. Here is an excerpt from the study I’m writing called armed and dangerous......... You are a warrior and called by the creator to do his work. Your time is now and the call on your heart is for you alone. Don’t shrink back in the midst of trouble, but get on your knees and fall on your face at his feet. He is our shield and strength (psalm 28:7), we need not be afraid (Isaiah 41:10). You are equipped for the battle now and in your future with every good gift given to you by the Father. -Armed and Dangerous

I’m so proud of my now author husband! He wrote a 14 day study called Armed and Dangerous- Has your husband ever been asked the question: what do you do? I’m ...sure you and your husband have both been asked that. That is indeed how many people in our culture define who we are. But what we do is not who we are. The study helps men build an identity that has nothing to do with what they do but rather building an identity that is honorable and courageous. They will discover who am I? rather than defining themselves by what they do or what they own. Armor up! Download comes with a battle partner to walk through it with your man. See more

. We sold our home, closed our business, eradicated our comfort zone and hit the road of unknown to fulfill a mission God sent us on! We now live in a 240 square foot school bus. Being in tight quarters we see partnership, spiritual intimacy and the ability to pursue God, life, dreams and love together. Years ago we were faced with a decision to end or keep or marriage. The temptation was real to end our marriage and our biggest issues we’re trust, lack of purity, separa...tions, anger and resentment. The battle had begun. He went one way and I went another. The 3 separations and feelings of abandonment and hopelessness broke me. Our marriage crumbled, our intimacy ruined. An 8 year battle from the time we said "I do" But the battle wasn't between us, the battle was to take down my husband and keep him in bondage, the war he was fighting was a war of purity. The battle didn't belong to us, the battle belonged to the Lord. 11 years now since the war ended. We had to decide that this marriage fight is worth fighting! To not give up on one another, and through the Testament of Redemption of our own restored marriage, that we could help thousands of couples. God fought on my husbands behalf, and He won. There was victory! The aftermath can be long lingering, but again, victory! God revealed to us that after 11 years of prayer, growth and 2 years of traveling on the road to find the place God wants us to start the retreat center- He showed us its Bend Oregon! On the practical side we will be certified facilitators for a program to help: By Discipleship Accountability Purity Council Preparation Enrichment or Restoration Prepare couples to take the assessment tests to help their marriage. Interpret the assessments and give feedback Initiate meaningful discussions Facilitate relationship skill-building exercises The Retreat center will be a building on a beautiful spot of land where couples, or anyone can come for a weekend away, a week or even stay forever and become apart of our ministry village. There we will provide recreational activities and a peaceful environment that gives you the ability to enrich your relationships through outdoor activities, gourmet food including breakfast, relaxation in nature, campfires and music, team building activities, purity camps, barn dances and more! This vision given by God is a place to find community- hope- restoration and love. We love and appreciate all of you and you must visit! Blessings, Adam and Joanie

One of my greatest desires is to use some of my darkest daysdays marred by an almost failed marriage, family trials, financial ruin and broken relationships. Because of the trials and tribulations in life I have found my voice. A voice that is used to encourage others to find the joy of a life restored by God and how He turned my ashes into beauty. I am reminded today that during all of these times I ran to Him for comfort, He covered me under His wings. He redeemed m...y marriage. He made new my reputation when they rallied on all sides. He showed me my worth in Him. He restored my faith in relationships. He revealed my mission. He loved me always. He forgive my sins against Him and others. He mended my heart. He comforted me when I was all alone. He used me: a nobody, the last one picked, not the smartest, the unpopular, the black sheep of the family to be a women on a mission for Him and to do His work. I'm humbled. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Whatever your facing its never to much for Him and I will continue to share how He used my pain to bring hope to you all. See more
