When God Delivers

by woman2womanministries1

When God delivers you from something or someone, you’re not phased by it or them anymore.

Those people that use to hurt you and take your self-esteem away, will no longer phase you when God delivers you from them. You will be able to see them again and not one tear will fall, not one feeling will rise up, not one emotion will overtake you. They will say what happened to you? Just reply; I’m delivered.

That habit or thing that use to rule your life, take your money, destroy your family, will no longer have power over you when God delivers you. You will be able to look that thing in the eye and say, you’re no longer my god, you don’t have power over me, I’ve taken back my authority, my God is bigger than this; I’m delivered.

It’s amazing what we can do when God delivers us. We should not take our deliverance for granted. We should walk in it and not let people tell us when we are delivered. They are not God, they have no power. Truth be told, those same people who think they hold your deliverance need to be delivered themselves.

God is a very present help in the time of trouble. I cried to the Lord and he delivered me.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

No

by woman2womanministries1

Do you have problems with telling people No? Are you afraid that people won’t like you anymore if you tell them No? Do you help people out even when you don’t want to?

No, is one of the most powerful words in our vocabulary. It’s alright to tell people No. People don’t have a problem with telling you No. As a matter of fact, they will tell you No, and expect for you to always say yes. The bible teaches us to be meek not weak. God never called us to be door mats. People will try to use you because you are a Christian. For instance, if you tell them No; they will say, I thought you were a Christian. They try to play with your heart and emotions using that line, but don’t fall for it.

If you have a hard time saying No, practice saying this:
No, I can’t help you today.
No, I’m not going to let you keep using me.
No, I don’t have to settle for you
No, I can’t keep lending you money, I’m not the bank.
No, I can’t co-sign a loan for you, the bible says that’s foolishness.
No, you can’t stay in my house, I don’t run a hotel.
No, I refuse to take part in the auction lines at church described as offerings.

It may seem strange to say No at first, but keep practicing and it will become second nature.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

No Open Door Policy

by woman2womanministries1

Many Christians think God has an open door policy, but they are sadly mistaken. Many Christians even say I can go to God by myself, I don’t need anyone praying for me.

Well, in order to get to God you have to go through Jesus. So you see, you just can’t go to God. The bible says Jesus makes intercession for us. This means I can pray for an escalade, but I only make Chevy money; so when Jesus gets the prayer and intercedes on my behalf it sounds different when it gets to God. It sounds something like this; Lord, bless her with something she can afford. She don’t need all the bells and whistles. Let her be able to get from point A to point B.

We ought to thank God for Jesus, because if he treated us like he did the people in the Old Testament then many of us would have been dead a long time ago. God didn’t play with them back then, he said the word, if they didn’t follow it, BAM!!! They were dead. With Jesus interceding for us, he be telling God, hold off on judging your children. You had me die so that they might be saved.

Therefore, we need to respect the fact that God doesn’t have an open door policy, and that we must recognize Jesus if we ever expect to be blessed by God.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Don’t Be So Holy

by woman2womanministries1

Don’t be so holy that you’re no earthly good. I like to dance but I don’t go clubs, dance halls or hangout. However, I do keep up with the latest line dances. When I’m invited to a wedding, birthday party, Christmas party, etc… I do get on the dance floor and shut it down.

Many people will say a preacher let alone an Elder certainly shouldn’t be dancing. Yet, the bible says there’s a time and place for everything under the sun. I was at a wedding reception and I was doing the Cupid Shuffle and one lady was appalled when she found out I was a preacher. She said you’re a preacher and you’re out there on the floor dancing. I told her yeah and if you come to church tomorrow I’ll be up there preaching to you too.

Needless to say, she had nothing else to say to me for the rest of the evening. She felt it was wrong for me to dance but she didn’t feel it was wrong for her to be sitting in the wedding reception. Dancing won’t keep you out of heaven. If so, David would have never made it in.

We will never be able to reach people if all we do is highlight things they can’t do when they become a Christian. We are not pleasing God when we act holier than thou, and we definitely are not winning souls.

So just when you think you are better than the sinner, lay person or preacher in the church, check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Friends

by woman2womanministries1

How many people do you really consider to be your friend? Do you have a criteria that they must meet before you call them friend? Do your friends know how to get you in the presence of God when you can’t get to him for yourself?

We really need to check who we call our friends. Everybody that we talk to are not our friends. Everybody in the church are not our friends. A true friend is someone that’s not afraid to tell you the truth. A true friend will stick by your side no matter what. A true friend won’t become a ghost in your hour of need.

So, I ask you again, how many friends do you really have? Jesus said I no longer call you servant, I call you friend. Are you the same type of friend to Jesus as he is to you? Or do you flake out when Jesus calls on you?

Friends, that’s a mouthful to say.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

In The Place Of God

by woman2womanministries1

What happens when you’re in the place of God and it doesn’t feel good?

Sometimes, when you’re in the place of God, he will allow hell to be all around you. It’s God that puts you in the situation and not the enemy. When this happens, know that God is doing something in you. Either he’s purifying or refining you.

Neither one feels good at the time, but they both are for your good. The safest place in the world is in the place of God. So when this place gets uncomfortable, don’t listen to the enemy saying serving God isn’t worth it. For we all know the devil is a liar.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Not Everybody’s Happy

by woman2womanministries1

You think because you’re successful that everybody’s supposed to be happy for you. Well you’re wrong. You must understand that everybody is not in the same season as you are. They’re season may be the season of struggle and your season is the season of reaping.

Assuming or expecting everyone to be happy for you, is setting yourself up for failure. It’s setting you up to get mad, to be disappointed, and to get your feelings hurt. Besides, your success doesn’t hinge on someone else’s happiness anyway.

So, before you go talking about your blessings and how successful you are, be prepared for everybody not to be happy.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

What Will Your Record Show

by woman2womanministries1

We all have a record whether or not we want to admit it. Some of us have speeding tickets, parking tickets, misdemeanors, felonies, etc… However, the record I’m talking about is with God.

Will your record show that you ran people out of the church? Will your record show that you were one of the most meanest, hypocritical Christians that ever joined the church? Perhaps, your record will show that you praised God every chance you got.

Whatever it shows, just be ready to give an account for every deed done in your body and every idle word. The good thing is, you still have time to get your record straight.

What will your record show?

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Is It An Option

by woman2womanministries1

Today I told my daughter to do something and she asked, is it an option. I replied, nothing I tell you to do is an option. I asked her, who gives their child an option. Then God spoke to my spirit and said I do, I give my children options.

God gives us the option of smoking or non-smoking. It’s our prerogative where we want to spend eternity. What section fits us best. It’s not God’s will that none perish but that all have eternal life. Sadly, many people will choose the smoking section. The bible even says; broad is the gate that leads to hell and many take that path. But narrow is the path to heaven and few be found on that road.

Where you spend eternity is a major decision. You must choose your option wisely. Once you choose your option, God will ask is that your final answer.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Because You Don’t Listen

by woman2womanministries1

Yesterday I told my youngest daughter to get up and start cleaning up. She sat there for a minute, didn’t move, and acted like she didn’t hear me. Suddenly, my grandson ran to my bedroom. I followed him to see why was he going into my bedroom, and to my surprise he was taking my belt out of my jeans on the chair. I asked him, what are you doing? He said; I’m getting your belt because she ain’t listening. At first I laughed a little but my grandson was serious. I laughed because he’s three and he already knows that there are consequences in life when you choose not to listen. Then I began to think about Mary and Martha. How Martha wanted to tell Jesus on Mary because Mary chose to listen. How Martha wanted Jesus to get Mary and Jesus had to say; Martha Martha you are troubled about too many things. Mary chose the good part and that is to listen.

How many of us are not listening and responding when God tells us to do something? Just like my grandson going to get the belt, God has a way to whip us right back in shape. And with God, you’re never too old to get a beating. As long as we think we can challenge God’s authority, and think we can select what we will and won’t do of his word, we are asking for a beat down. And when we begin to say woe it’s me. Lord why are you doing this. He will reply, because you don’t listen.

What will it take for you to listen and respond to the voice of God?

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
