God’s Planning in “Unplanned Parenthood”


As I contemplated the pregnancy status of an idolized American “Power Couple”, I found myself inquiring of God on a few subjects. My first question was why would He allow a baby to be born to a couple who blatantly disregarded His commandments? Especially when there are so many Christians in holy union who desire to be parents but cannot conceive. Almost immediately I heard God speak the words, through my lips, that this baby would be the restoration of this entire family unit. At that moment, I truly understood that God thinks generationally, and not just in a specific moment of time.

I then began to think on the birth of our Savior Jesus. He was conceived miraculously to an unsuspecting virgin. Hence, Mary’s pregnancy was unplanned to say the least. But, in God there is nothing that happens on the earth that is unplanned, especially births of children. God declared to Jeremiah that “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5 NIV). Wow! There are absolutely no surprises when it comes to the birth of God’s little ones into the earth.

This revelation has helped me to further think like my heavenly Father, and not to draw carnal conclusions in tough situations. So, for those questioning why they were dealt a crummy hand in life, or how someone deemed evil could father a precious child, know that God makes no mistakes. His reasoning for producing children is always for the betterment of generations. Even when two parents are unfit physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually to raise children, know that there is purpose for them being conceived. God conceives children and there are NEVER mistakes in one being born at the time, place, and to the set of parents to which he/she is appointed to. God has purpose in all that He does, and in His sovereign wisdom there is never an unplanned birth.

Blessings good people!

Know today that you, your children, and/or your family were no mistakes. They were all destined and preapproved to honor the will of God.

I’m Bringing HOLY[Matrimony] Back…YEP!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Kim Kardashian is the latest victim to be hoodwinked by Satan’s destructive antics.
There is a major attack against the marriage covenant in current society. And I for one will not sit back while God’s creation is ridiculed and dragged through the mud. I am utterly repulsed by the deception that people have bought into when it comes to this holy practice. Marriage is sacred. With that, All Need NOT Apply! Marriage is for the mature, the selfless, the loving, and despite current notions, for those marrying the opposite sex. And adding an even deeper unction, those who desire to marry ONE wife—let’s NIX the “Sister Wives” tomfoolery while we’re at it.

The attack on marriage is much more serious than people may think. As Satan ambushes the sanctity of marriage, he in essence is proposing the death sentence for humankind. Ponder with me for a second. If the world were made up of divorcees, polygamists, and/or homosexuals, how is humanity to continue without major dysfunction; physically, mentally, and spiritually? I don’t see that happening! The enemy is the author of all confusion and turmoil. Thus, a world that resembles this thought would be complete anarchy.

People must realize that signing on the dotted line is a lifelong commitment and not the latest fashion trend in Tinsel Town. And for those who unapologetically take marriage lightly, please understand that there are repercussions to this mindset. The Bible clearly outlines that when a marital union is severed because of anything other than abuse or infidelity—CODE NAME: irreconcilable differences—there is adultery being committed. Hence, those who continuously marry are only passing this spirit of adultery down the line to his/her other mates. Don’t believe me? Check for yourself! -----> Matt. 5:31-33, Matt. 19: 18-19, Mark 10:10-12, Luke 16:18

God is a God of His word. So, please don’t expect to be “blessed and highly favored” when you are blatantly disobeying His concise mandates. Those who truly love God follow Him in obedience (see John 14:15). It’s time to do the right thing, because it’s the right thing. Breakup before proceeding down the aisle in full wedding processional if you KNOW that you are selfish, childish, egotistical, spoiled, and have yet to, officially, GET OVER YOURSELF (among other things)!

Let’s honor God people! He is not pleased with our shenanigans, and how lightly we take His decrees. Get right Christians, and stop looking to celebrities, talk shows, reality television, and raunchy romance novels as your how-to-guides for Marriage 101. They don’t have a clue! Open your Bible. God teaches about everything one needs to know regarding relationships, love, marriage, and even the infamous three letter word, S-E-X (Can we still say that in Christian circles? te-he-he). God created it ALL, so check the Source.

Be blessed good people, and get your minds right!
