I LOVE MY WIFE!

I've always wanted to be a good husband. The very best that God could create me to be. So I remember when I got married that I wanted a way to ensure that I would always love my wife. I wanted to do it on a consistent basis. I wanted it to be seen and known amongst many so that it would never be in question. At that moment I purposed that "I Love My Wife" would be my confession. So I turned to Facebook and at the end of my status updates I would always include "[**I LOVE MY WIFE**]." It wasn't for Nicole, my wife, because she wasn't on Facebook. Though I wanted people to see it, it really wasn't for them either. That became my daily confession  so that whenever anything happened to where I could be contrary to loving my wife that my first response would be to love her.

I wanted to make sure that I had told myself enough times that "I Love My Wife" so that I could store them up and use them like a bank account. I wanted to be able to draw on the fact that I did in fact love her because I kept storing up love when she was convenient to love. Now don't get me wrong, it's not that my wife does horrible things to me to cause me to not want to love her, but as human beings we will not always please people with our actions. I was doing this solely based on Mark 11:23-24:

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, Whatsoever things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them "

Based on this scripture I can have whatsoever I say based on my faith and belief in the things which I say. Now Jesus did this in the verses that come before this when he went to the fig tree and there were no figs. Because there is no lack in God the tree was not operating in God's best and he cursed the tree. When he cursed the tree he believed that it was done and it was done. There was no question to his faith or what he said because it happened immediately. When Jesus and his disciples came back past the tree they saw that the tree was withered. Results based on what he said.

So if my confession is consistently that "I Love My Wife" no matter what happens there will always be love available for me and my wife to be partakers. I will say it enough so that it is true even when temptation wants me to believe otherwise. I remember when my wife and I first got married and not even two weeks after the honeymoon we had a disagreement. She left out of our apartment for work without me and I came down into the parking lot about ten minutes after she left. I get in the parking lot and her passenger sideview mirror had cracked my drivers sideview mirror. Her mirror was hanging off and she had the sad face and said, "I'm sorry." Immediately I said, "It's okay, I love you." In that moment there was every right to be mad, upset, or angry, but I chose to be caring and loving because it was stored up. As long as no one was hurt I was fine because it could have been worse.

I know that we all have moments where things will differ from what we want them to be but today's question is, "How are you preparing for what is to come?" Whether it be in your words or your actions what are you believing your situation to be? If something is in you then when you are squeezed then that is what will come out. Galatians 6:7 clearly states, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked:  for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." I can imagine Jesus sowing to his spirit man for 20+ years of his life so that his faith would not fail him. So that he would operate in the will of God at all times. Jesus was able to operate in all the things that he did because he was preparing for it. Even when he was found in the synagogue he was "about his father's business."

I know that I'm always preparing for something when I utter the phrase, "I LOVE MY WIFE!" For me it is a confession of faith, hope, strength, promise, purpose, and manifestation because when I say it I become invigorated with what I'm believing to happen. I want to see a manifestation of me loving my wife! I want to see a manifestation of healing and provision! I want to see something restored to me that was lost! I want to see what I say! So maybe if I start saying things consistently and frequently enough to build my faith up to believe with no doubt, that I may actually see what I am saying one day. What was that you just said?
