Consecration of Marriage

By Pastors Troy & Judy Husted

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:32‭-‬33‬ ‭TPT‬‬:

"Marriage is the beautiful design of the Almighty, a great mystery of Christ and his church. So every married man should be gracious to his wife just as he is gracious to himself. And every wife should be tenderly devoted to her husband."

Judy and I, always find ways to give thanks and offer our love back to the ever loving Savior, Christ Jesus. We daily welcome the Lord upon our lives, to journey with us in all we do. It is He that walks in the mist of us, teaching, guiding, and yes, even correcting us. (when correction are needed) It is this relationship we cling to, so deeply, that we can not get enough of His presence and guidance.

We stumble sometimes, but how wonderful is the Lord, whose love surpasse all, to lift us up and place us back to the path He created for us.

It is through His grace, mercy, and love, that He continues to write a story. Our testimonies of what the Lord has done in our lives, adds to the greatest story of God's divine goodness! His divine love.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:2‭-‬4‬ ‭TPT‬‬:

"With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience. Be faithful to guard the sweet harmony of the Holy Spirit among you in the bonds of peace, being one body and one spirit, as you were all called into the same glorious hope of divine destiny. "

We, both always love to declare the glory of what the Lord has done in our lives. Either through hard, difficult times, or through times of great blessings, the works He does within us and through us can not go in silence, but flows loudly upon our lips in our testimonies to His great love. Engulfing the flames within our hearts to God and to one another.

No, matter what is thrown in the path of our marriage, we rejoice in our consecration to God.

We come together, this day, to enter a new year in Consecrating our marriage to the Lord. We share to encourage all husbands and wife's to always dedicate your marriages, families, and most of all your love to the Lord.

May we always welcome our Lord and Savior to be King and Ruler over all our marriages!

Devotional prayer to the Lord:

O' how we rejoice in the glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We sing out loud to His mejesty and beauty. A beauty so grand, causing every fiber of our bodies to worship. We rejoice in the Lord for bringing us together, united as husband and wife, consecrated in oneness in worshipping our Heavenly Father, in His glory and splendor. May we always seal our marriage and consecrate ourselves before the Lord. To open our hearts to our Risen King, master over all things and especially upon our hearts.

O' Jesus, rule and have dominion over our marriage, our family, and over our testimonies of Your grace. Let our testimonies be a ministry onto others to shine and reveal Your glory and Kingdom. Rule and command us of your ways, for it is You we truly surrender to. To worship You in all we do. We give You glory!

O' Lord God Almighty, it is You that is provider and Sustainer over all our: finances, health, family, and most of all, our love. A love we welcome with all of our hearts. We cry out with great love to you. Lovesicken to wanting more of You. We're overcome with praise; when we come into Your presence! We're awed by Your presence! Even in the mist of troubles, Your power and might overtake the senses of our soul. Rejoicing in turmoil we face, measuring every ounce of our love to You. Emptying all our love, into the springs of Your ever flowing mercy.

We are loved! We are loved, by Your forgiveness and grace. You gave life in the darkness of our lives. You gave us hope and lift us high on the wings of eagles. You are our Miracle worker, our Promise Keeper! Keeping Your promise true and never failing us! We come togther, surrendering, and welcome Your timing, Your guidance and instructions over our lives. Lead us, Lord, for we give ourselves to You. We will raise our arm as a bander, declaring the glory of God. For we will sing how great the Lord is. We will pour out our praises to You. It is Your breath in our lungs, so we will pour our praises to you always!

Amen and Amen to the Lord God Almighty.

Great love to successful marriages!
