Praise God for His daily faithfulness and His mercies which are new every morning.

Sharing my husband's post with you today from his Facebook, MEAT FOR MEN. I believe it is a powerful word.

THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION
I am very grateful that God has given us president Donald Trump. He is doing an amazing job of turning this nation around for good, even in the midst of major resistance by the main stream media, the extreme Democrat party, and some Republicans who hate his style and personality.

I heartily enjoyed his State of the Union speech. However, I was concerned over one of his achievements. He stated: “No one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women, who have filled 58 percent of the new jobs created in the last year. All Americans can be proud that we have more women in the workforce than ever before.” And continued: “We also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before.”

We noticed that immediately all “the women in white” belonging to the extreme left of the Democratic party begin to rejoice, dance around, and high five one another.

I wonder if our president and his daughter, Ivanka, who is a very strong advocate for the working women, realize that getting women out of the home and placing the children in nurseries and day care centers is one of the major agendas of the communist/extreme socialists.

The actual fact is that 76.8 million women are employed in this nation. Many are mothers. Who is caring for their children? The extreme socialists want to breakdown all traditional home and family values. They want all women out of their homes. They want to take total control of the human race, from the cradle to the grave. Both Hitlerism and Communism had this ideology in common.

A few years ago, Germany teachers encouraged that this ideology should be adopted again because of what they observed as poor parenting in their country. These educators want the children from the cradle.

However, God gave children to parents, not governments or school teachers. He wants them to be nurtured by mothers in their homes, and not even fathers replacing mothers.

Extreme socialism seeks to destroy all godly, traditional roles by mixing them up. Without a doubt, young children need their mothers in the home—loving, teaching, and taking good care of them. Mothers are naturally and innately more qualified to accomplish this than fathers. It is mothers who create the best atmosphere in the family home.

What is a home without a mother in it? It is nothing more than a sterile, empty shell.

Homes are the best place for the ministration of motherhood, not the downtown office or the tough environment of a manufacturing warehouse.

Who told us that mothers at home were not working mothers? What a lie.

Who told us that motherhood was not a true bonified career? I’ll tell you who. The extreme socialists and feminists.

Women take away jobs from men and the traditional family home goes begging. It is vacant for most of the important hours of the day. Thousands of homes could have this placard on their door: “Unoccupied from 8.00 am – 5.00 pm.” Many are unoccupied for longer hours. The home, which is the hub of society if languishing.

Motherhood and fatherhood, from God’s perspective, should always be the foundational roles of every culture. When we forsake these roles or seek to destroy them, we do so to our own peril.

David asks the question in Psalm 11:3: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The answer is, of course, to rebuild the foundations again.

President Trump boldly stated in his State of the Union address and I want to agree with him: “We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.” However, the promotion of women to come out from their career of homemaking and replace it with secular careerism is the socialist agenda.

America will only be as great as its foundations. It will only be as great as its homes, marriages, and families.

Be encouraged.

When people say derogatory remarks to you about having more than the usual two children, don't be intimidated. You are not living by humanistic standards but by the eternal truths of God's Word. When folks ridicule you for homeschooling, don’t be intimidated. You are not going to allow your children to be brainwashed with transgenderism, leftist ideology, and Islamic lessons which are now all part of the public school system.

You have a higher plan than the world’s plan. Your thinking is dictated by God’s words, not by human reasoning (Isaiah 55:8, 9).

Never be ashamed of God’s plan. It’s better than man’s ways (Isaiah 1:22).

God said to Moses: “Say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” I AM comes to you right now, dear mother. Acknowledge His presence with you at this moment. No mater what is happening.

Every situation, no matter how frustrating or difficult, is sacred when I AM is with you.

Have a lovely day,

Nancy Campbell

Did you read the article by Randy Alcorn in the latest Above Rubies called IS THE UNBORN PART OF THE MOTHER’S BODY? He clearly shows that the baby in the womb is a separate person to the mother. It is not just a part of her. He or she is a separate human being with a different genetic code, different DNA, different fingerprints and on and on. Read this article again and encourage your children to read it so they understand the truth.

We could ask ourselves the question: when Jonah landed in the whale’s belly, was he then part of the whale because he was inside the whale? No, he was still a completely different person. He was still Jonah, not a whale!

How encouraging that our president stands for life. Did you thank and praise God when he spoke these words in his SOTO address?

“There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days. Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth. These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and dreams with the world. And then, we had the case of the governor of Virginia where he basically stated he would execute a baby after birth.”

He continued . . . “To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking the Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb. Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children – born and unborn – are made in the holy image of God.”

Our president is prepared to boldly stand for life in the face of ridicule and opposition? It’s the least we can do too.

The William Barclay’s translation says: “Your BEAUTY must be the BEAUTY of your inner character and personality. It must consist of a gentle and serene character, a BEAUTY which the years cannot wither, for in God’s sight that is what is really precious. This was the BEAUTY with which once upon a time consecrated women, whose hopes were set on God, adorned themselves. They accepted the authority of their husbands.”

We live in a society of rebellion towards men, in fact toward all authority. Many modern women do not want to submit to anyone or anything! This is the same spirit of Lucifer who was cast out of Heaven because he did not want to submit to authority of God but wanted to be like God himself. It is an ugly thing and always ends in destruction, the destruction of marriage, home, and family.

But God says that submission is a beautiful thing. I wonder . . . do we think like God thinks? Or do we embrace the thinking of the enemy?

Do you notice that it talks about the women who lived “once upon a time”? Peter was talking about women who lived two thousand years previously. To us they are women who lived four thousand years ago. Our generation is completely opposite to these women.

And yet who is right? God’s Word never changes. It is an eternal (and therefore never goes out of date) and was given for every generation.

Psalm 119:160 says: “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.” The margin of my Bibles says: “The beginning of thy word is true.”

I notice the last verse of 1 Peter 3 where it says that all the angels and authorities in heaven are subject to God and to Christ. What about on earth?

Are you living a beautiful life today?

Therefore . . .
To love your husband and to be submissive and devoted to him is a beautiful thing.
To love your children and raise a family is a beautiful thing.
To be pure, good, and self-controlled are beautiful things.
To be a keeper of the home and manage it well is a beautiful thing.
To practice hospitality is a beautiful thing.
To humbly serve others and help those in distress are beautiful things.

Dear mother in the home, you are worth more than rubies and precious gems! Your God-given mandate is beautiful and valuable to your home and to the nation. And even more importantly, to God.

Blessings to you today,

Nancy Campbell

A You are ANOINTED by God to mother and nurture your children. This is more powerful than any career you can have outside the home.

C You are CALLED by God to this great career. If you turn away from it, you miss your highest calling.

K You are the KEEPER of your home. You are keeping your marriage and family strong. Homekeepers are definitely the backbone of the nation. As mothers build strong homes the nation becomes stronger. When mothers vacate their homes, the nation becomes weaker.

B You are the BRIGHTNESS and glory of your home. A home is only truly a home when mother is there, making it a beautiful place with her presence.

O You are an OVERCOMER. Building a godly home, family, and heritage is no easy task. It takes strength and courage. It takes fortitude and endurance. But God is with you moment by moment, giving you the power to overcome in His name.

N You are a NATION CHANGER. When mothers get back to the home, embrace the children God wants them to have, and train them to be godly sons and daughter, they change the course of the nation.

E You are an EDUCATOR. There is no one more powerful than you, mother, to influence your children for God, to reveal to them the awesome wonder of your God and His universe. As you seek after truth, you teach your children the truth and you become an educator not only to your children, but to the rest of society.

Together, mothers, we are the BACKBONE of the nation. Let’s not give up influencing this nation and generations to come.

Blessings to you today,

Nancy Campbell

Ebed-melech took his life into his hands to stand up for right. He could have landed in the dungeon himself, because the king had just given the palace officials permission to do what they liked with Jeremiah! But Ebed-melech was not a wimp! He was not afraid of the consequences. He acted righteously and saved Jeremiah. It only took one brave man!

Often people are accused wrongly. Are we afraid to stand up for them in case we face the same consequences? Often we face an evil situation. Will we stand against the evil?

Psalm 84:16: "Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?"

May God save us from being those who turn a blind eye because we would rather not be involved. May we always stand against injustice and wrong
doing. We must be a voice for the unborn who are murdered every day.

Proverbs 31:8, 9: "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."

And let's teach our children to support and stand by those who are accused falsely. And to stand against all evil. Read the story of Ebed-melech to your children in Jeremiah 38:6-13 and 39:16-18 and teach them to be brave soldiers for righteousness.

When children disobey their parents, they disobey God. When children speak back to their parents and dishonor them, they dishonor God. It is a serious offence. Do not allow your children to get into the habit of talking back to you or being cheeky. If you allow them to do this when they are younger, what will they be like when they are older?

"One of the most dangerous contributions a parent can make toward the spiritual delinquency of his child is a failure to instill within him a wholesome respect for authority. If the parent neglects to set the proper example as an authority figure, or refuses to exercise discipline with love, he might well be rejected as an authority-figure by his child, and thus, by transference, the child ultimately may come to disdain all authority, including the Supreme Authority, God." (From Surveying the Evidence by Wayne Jackson, Eric Lyons and Kyle Butt).

Acknowledge the anointing God has given you as a parent and walk in this anointing and authority.

Blessings from Nancy Campbell

In the same way, dear mother, you reveal the heart of God. When you take your baby in your arms, you are being like God. When you bend down to your little ones to feed them and tend to their needs, you are being like God.

You are not doing some insignificant, but powerful. Delight in it.

Love from Nancy Campbell

Who can cheer the heart like Jesus
By His presence all divine,
True and tender, pure and precious,
O, how blest to call Him mine.

All that thrills my soul is Jesus,
He is more than life to me,
And the fairest of ten thousand
In my blessed Lord I see.

May you be uplifted today,

Nancy Campbell

How are you smelling today? Are your husband and children avoiding you or running to you?

We notice two things in this Scripture in 2 Corinthians 2:14, 15 (NLT): “(God) uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.” Firstly, we understand that it is a sweet perfume. If we are not giving off a sweet perfume, it is not the aroma of Christ!

And secondly, we are to spread this sweetness everywhere, in every place. This means your home! It means in the midst of what you are doing—when the children are driving you crazy, when your husband rubs your up the wrong way, and when you are doing the mundane chores like scrubbing toilets and piles of dishes.

No matter what the situation or the place, we keep being sweet! Are you up for the challenge?

Love from Nancy Campbell

Our thankfulness to the Lord should spill over to our family. Do you thank your husband for the little things he does for you? Do you thank him for choosing you to be his wife? Do you thank him for taking out the trash? Well, if he doesn’t take out the trash and you have to do it yourself, thank him for something else!

What about your children? Do you thank them when they do their chores? Do you tell them you are glad God gave them to you?

Today, why don’t you thank your husband and each one of your children for something specific, maybe something for which you have never thanked them before?

Your thankfulness to your family members will spill over to others outside your home, too. Ephesians 5:4 (TPT) says: “Guard your speech. Forsake obscenities and worthless insults; these are nonsensical words that bring disgrace and are unnecessary. Instead, let worship fill your heart and spill out in your words.”

Think of someone else you can thank and give them a call.

Be blessed,

Nancy Campbell

Be encouraged by these words: DON'T LOSE HEART! Stand strong against the pressures of life. Stand strong for your family. Stand strong for your convictions. Stand strong in the Lord. We have to toughen up a bit, don’t we?

But don’t despair. God is with you and He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5, 6).

Blessings to you today, Nancy Campbell
