So I recently got engaged to an amazing man of God. He is a true blessing from up above. Anyways we are struggling with making decisions on everything. The biggest issue of course is money, but who doesn't have that issue these days. So I am basically looking for any type of information or anything you think might help us out. Thanks!

Do you mean wedding ideas? Our wedding cost us $500...the reception was in a backyard that was decorated with lots of lights and mosquito netting...everyone brought food like a potluck, and it was truly the BEST day of my life! The love poured in from everywhere..everyone was more than happy to bring a dish...our wedding gifts were a wedding photgrapher, a limo service, and a cuople of other element s that make for a great wedding. The dress was borrowed, and the wedding was beautiful. I wouldn't do it any other way.

My daughter is getting married this summer and wants the same kind of thing...on her fiances family farm. I am sooo looking forward to it!

My advice is to have a cheap wedding. Nothing more stressful than starting a marriage in debt.

We spent $12k on our wedding, and regret it!

We recently went to a friends wedding and wish we did it like they did. They had a small ceremony in the local gardens, got a guest to take photos for them. She reused a formal dress she owned, and he borrowed a suit from a friend. Everyone chipped in either driving them, or supplying flowers, or taking photos etc. Then we all went back to their favourite restaurant and bought our own meals. It was fantastic! I think it cost them $400.

There were no fancy invites, no place tags, no menu etc. But it was simple and fantastic. We all really enjoyed each other's company and celebrating their new commitment.

I'd say the bottom line is this . . . only spend what you can afford to spend.

The wedding ceremony is approximately 30 minutes . . . no use going in debt for years for that half hour, even if it is special.

Get married by your pastor, moms and dads, best man, maid of honor.

Then have a nice reception for those you want to invite.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
