Boundaries

by woman2womanministries1

Have you ever had someone tell you they thought your were a Christian? Do you feel like people try to treat you any kind of way because you are a Christian?

As Christian’s we have to set boundaries. To someone else it may seem like we’re trying to be better than them or we’re standoffish. However, if we don’t set boundaries, we give way to the enemy and that can be disastrous. Boundaries also help us to not cross the line.

It’s alright to let someone know when they’ve crossed the line or overstepped their boundaries. God called us to be meek not weak. And sadly, when people see that we are Christians they think that gives them the right to walk all over us.

So the next time someone says; I thought you were a Christian. Tell them I am and the kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Shopping

by woman2womanministries1

When people go shopping they are always looking for the best deal they can get. Some people go to stores that will price match, others drive all over town to save a penny. This is good when it’s for merchandise only, however, many people have taken this same mentality to the church.

People shop for churches that won’t preach on their sin and that seems to give them the best deal for their time. They don’t want to be corrected of their wrong doing and they don’t want to be in church for more than an hour. People are looking for sermons wrapped in a bow and it needs to be cute, cuddly and funny. They prefer the watered down gospel because the uncut gospel is too strong.

If this church can’t deliver it, they know the church up the street can deliver half of it, and the church on the other side of town can deliver the other half. Sadly, because pastors are looking for numbers and not souls they fall prey to the shoppers and deliver a watered down gospel that convicts no one to change. But, they have the numbers in the pews.

What shoppers need to realize is that you get what you pay for, and because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it’s meant for you. When you shop for a church that makes you feel good, you’re hurting yourself and your discounting your soul. But when you’re willing to pay the full price and face your sins head on, then you’re ready to see the value in why Christ died for you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

The Most Unlikely One

by woman2womanministries1

A few days ago I couldn’t get a hold of my adult daughter. She was supposed to be moving to a new state and when I went to contact her, there was no answer. I called my mom and sister to see had they heard anything and nothing. We checked all of her social media sites and she was silent. This was totally out of character for her. She places her whole life on the web.

I decided to contact the police and asked them to do a welfare check on her. I explained to them I live in another country and asked them to please call my mother and update her on their findings. All day and night I waited for a call from my mom or my sister and nothing. I called them to see had they heard any news and nothing. I called the police back and they were of no help.

Finally, I called my mom back and as our conversation was ending; she said jokingly, maybe you should call your ex-husband. I replied jokingly, yeah if his wife will let him go. But that’s just what I did. I called him left a message and five minutes later he called back.

I explained the situation to him and immediately he was on it. Mind you, he’s not her biological father. He wasn’t where he could go physically check on her but he sent someone out there. A few hours later, he got back with me to say he touched basis with her and that he spoke directly to her.

I felt so relieved. Someone I never thought to call was the one that God used to put my family fears at ease. 48hrs of not knowing whether your child is alive or dead is gut wrenching and not being able to be there is even more traumatic.

This whole ordeal has taught me to never discount anyone even my ex-husband. For God had him do what the police couldn’t or didn’t do and that was locate my child. So whoever God chooses to help you, be grateful not hateful and thank God he still showed you favor.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Waiting

by woman2womanministries1

Many people don’t like to wait. Society has taught us that we can have what we want, when we want, how we want. Unfortunately, a lot of society has not read the bible.

In the bible, God put people on hold for long periods of time. It didn’t matter if they were at the brink of death or if they had been in that predicament for years. The thing about waiting is, either you’re going to trust God or you’re going to listen to the enemy and curse God.

The predicament you’re in may seen unbearable for now, but God knows just how much you can bear. Weeks, months or years may have passed and God hasn’t come to see about you yet, just hold on he hasn’t forgotten about you. It’s just that your predicament has a set time and God won’t respond a minute too soon.

So while you’re waiting, rejoice in the Lord. For I reckon, that the suffering of this present time is not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Since When

by woman2womanministries1

Since when did our children start believing suicide is the thing to do? How is it that our children haven’t learned how to cope with life? Could it be, they’ve watched how we’ve coped with life and say they want no parts of that? Do we cope with life in a healthy manner? Or, do we drink, smoke, take pills, sleep around, etc… and this turns off our children?

When was the last time we told our children prayer changes things? When was the last time we listened to our kids describe how they hate school, and we dismiss their feelings thinking they’re trying to get out of something; when all the while their being bullied.

The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy and its up to us to plead the blood of Jesus over our children’s lives. We must not be satisfied with hearing about our children killing themselves and accepting it as the norm.

Speak life over your children and over their lives. Start declaring God’s blessings, word and promises over them.

Lord we decree and declare the enemy cannot have our children. Lord we decree and declare our children will serve you all the days of their life. Lord we decree and the declare that drugs, gangs, alcohol, gun violence, suicide and bullying will not overtake our children. Lord we plead the blood of Jesus over our children right now. Keep a hedge of protection over our children and keep your angels encamped round about them in Jesus name amen.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

After The Fact

by woman2womanministries1

Have you ever thought about God as being an after the fact God? When you read the bible do you notice he shows up after the fact?

After Moses killed a man, God showed up. After Lazarus died, God showed up. After Saul killed Christians, God showed up. After the woman was caught in adultery, God showed up.

You’re wondering why God is acting like he doesn’t see or care about what you’re going through. Well he’s waiting till after the fact; so he can show up mighty and you will know without a shadow of a doubt, it was nobody but the Lord that brought you out. If he showed up before the fact, you wouldn’t learn any lessons from the trial.

So be thankful, God may not show up when you think he should, but he will show up at the brink of your give up.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Be Ready

by woman2womanministries1

You never know when God is going to bless you. You never know when he is going to put you in front of the right people at the right time. You never know when God is going to say it’s your turn and your time.

With that being said, are you ready? Are you ready to receive your blessing from the Lord? Are you ready to take your rightful place on that job, in that company, at that church? Are you ready to be used by God in a mighty way? Are you ready to show the world, mighty are the works of Gods hand?

Ready or not, God’s got a blessing with your name on it. So position yourself, focus on God and receive what he has for you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Invest In Yourself

by woman2womanministries1

All to often we invest time, money, and energy into other people and other things. Do we ever think of investing time, money, and energy into ourselves? Do we think we’re worth it?

Just think, if we invested more time into an idea we had; rather than spend money on someone else’s idea i.e., (Coach, Michael Kors, Nike,) etc. these are all someone else’s ideas, and we make their ideas money.

What idea or dream has God given you? You know the thing you can’t shake, the thing that burns on the inside. The thing you keep talking yourself out of because of your financial situation.

You are more than worth it. I’d rather you fail investing in yourself, than fail investing in someone else. But, what if you succeed? Is this the real reason why we don’t invest in ourselves? Because maybe just maybe we may succeed. And, no one has taught us about success, however, they have drilled failure into us.

You owe it to yourself to step out on faith and do what you’ve never done before. Believe in yourself.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Press Through The Pain

by woman2womanministries1

When pain comes in our lives it makes us want to stop. I workout but my knee hurts so bad I don’t ever want to workout again. However, I know if I stop I’m going to blow up because I like to eat.

Case in point, when we’re on this Christian journey and we get hurt we want to stop. Some of us have even told God, that this isn’t worth it. The pain is so bad, we’d rather give up, accept defeat and take our chances in the world.

But, before we make such a foolish decision like that, let’s weigh our decision. Are we really wanting to go to hell by turning our backs on God, because we can’t take a little pain?

When we’re in pain we can’t think straight. So before we go and do something drastic; let’s seek God. The more we seek him, the more help he will give us to press through the pain.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Know Me When You Don’t Need Me

by woman2womanministries1

Today I received an email from someone I know asking for monetary help. Mind you, I haven’t spoken to this person in almost a year. Every time we speak, I’m the one calling. Granted I live far away, but I have made every accommodation for family and friends to be able to reach me at a moments notice. So, when I received this email asking for help because something happened to them while traveling, I never responded back. It’s strange they never consulted me prior to taking the trip, but I’m their answer now that things have gone wrong on their trip.

All this time has passed; no call, no email, no Skype, no Tango, no Twitter, etc… But trouble has arisen and all of a sudden they know me. The email even said you are my last resort and hope. I’m all about helping people but when you know me and don’t need me; it makes it a whole lot easier, than to act like you don’t know me until you need me.

God teaches us to be good stewards over what he has given us and me not helping doesn’t make me a bad Christian, it makes me a wise Christian. Besides, even if I was to help, how do I know I would get my money back? How do I know if they will go back to not knowing me again? So to save myself some heartache and headache, I will let them find hope in someone else. For my mother always told me, don’t lend nothing you can’t afford to give away.

So at this juncture in my life, I can’t afford to give away a peace of mind. I can’t afford to give away costly advice. I can’t afford to give away the kitchen with the kitchen sink and I definitely can’t afford to give away something I’ve worked so hard for, to someone who don’t know me when they don’t need me.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
