I Won’t Go Back

by woman2womanministries1

Has God delivered you from something and you are struggling not to go back to it? Does it seem like you’re in a fight for your life? Does praying and fasting seem not to be working?

Hold on! God knows right where you’re at, and no man can pluck you out of his hands. The enemy is pulling out all of the stops to get you back on his side. However, you have to be persuaded in your mind; I won’t go back. No matter how it looks, I won’t go back. Even if I’m offered something better to go back, I’m not going to do it.

God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Trust and believe he only wants the best for you. Trust and believe he will never leave you nor forsake.

Whatever you do, don’t go back, it’s not worth it. As Jesus would tell people in the bible he delivered; go and sin no more less a worse thing come upon you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Just Listen

by woman2womanministries1

Sometimes when people are talking to you and pouring their heart out to you, they just want you to listen. They don’t want any feedback, they don’t want to know what you would do if you were in their situation, they just want you to listen.

We are so quick to give advice to the point we feel like being silent is awkward. Quite frankly, I like not having to answer people back all the time. I don’t mind being a sounding board for them, because I’d rather they get all of their anger and emotions out with me; than go do something stupid. Also, people don’t always need a word either. Look at the woman that was caught in adultery. Jesus just listened and was writing on the ground, he didn’t get deep with her, he didn’t prophesy to her, he just asked her a question and told her to keep it moving and stop sinning.

There will be times when you will have to speak but you need to figure out when that time is. And, when you begin to speak, don’t start accusing the person or start saying stupid stuff. In other words, don’t be like Job friends, they were quiet for seven days and on the eighth day they began to talk and couldn’t shut up.

Listening is a skill that many of us don’t have. We hear but we don’t listen. So today, when someone begins to tell you about their situation; be quiet, let them say everything and if they ask for your opinion then say something. If they don’t then be quiet.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Let Your Hair Down

by woman2womanministries1

Many people in the church feel as though they can’t let their hair down, have fun, laugh or relax because they have a title. It’s like they got a their title and lost their sense of humor.

Christians have to learn to have a balanced life. There’s a time to be serious then there’s a time to be you. My kids don’t need Elder Brown they need momma. Before I was Elder Brown I was a person who laughed, cried, had fun and could reach the people. Now that I’m Elder Brown, I’m still a person, I still laugh, I still cry, I still have fun and I still am accessible to the people.

All too often we let our titles change us , and we begin to think we are better than what we ought to think. My constant prayer is Lord never let me get the big head. I’m not asking you to sin, but I am asking you to be human again.

Besides, who would ever want to serve your God, if they had to stop being who they are. Who wants to walk around stuck-up all day because of their title? Get over your titles and let your hair down.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

When People Think You Need Them

by woman2womanministries1

Isn’t it something how you can be cool with someone, and as soon as they find out you need them or think you might ask them for help; they begin to act like they’re better than you. They forget they once needed help or if they keep living the tables may turn.

Instead of getting mad with them for treating you bad; let them know, that you were giving them a chance to be a blessing to you. But now they have blocked their blessing and God will use someone else. I know we’ve never looked at the situation like that and before we start saying amen, let’s see what God has to say.

God says we act the same way when it comes to him and the church. We think the church needs us so we hold our tithes, offerings and gifts back thinking if we don’t help the church, then the church will fail. We act like God need us to praise him, forgetting he got some rocks on standby in case we don’t want to praise him. We act like the choir won’t be anointed if our solo isn’t sung, not realizing up above our heads is music in the air. We have God so twisted that we treat him like a mere man.

But check this out, we were not God’s first choice. He chose the Jews first and he adopted us. So, the next time we become so ugly thinking somebody need us. Know that help will be provided whether or not you have positioned yourself to be used.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Second Chance

by woman2womanministries1

When people hurt us why do we feel like they don’t need or deserve a second chance? Yet, when we mess up we want God to give us grace and mercy.

Truth be told, if God only gave us a second chance we’d be in hell right now. He’s given us numerous chances and yet we still need more chances. We’ve all been hurt and we’ve all hurt somebody. Therefore, before we become so self-righteous and so dignified, we need to check ourselves. That person that hurt you deserves another chance because you may be their only life line here on earth.

I’m guilty of wanting to throw people away, especially if they’ve hurt me beyond belief. But who am I to throw God’s child away. That same person I want to throw away, may be the one that has to give me my last glass of water on my death bed. And besides, who made me judge, jury and executioner.

Just as God gives me daily reality checks. Let him give you the same check and take heed to it. It just may save your life and other people lives around you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

What Will You Give

by woman2womanministries1

On today we celebrate all of the Veterans, past and present. Many of our Veterans have given their all and have sacrificed much. They’ve spent numerous days and hours away from love ones. They’ve missed countless birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, babies first steps, births of their children, etc… And ultimately many of them have given their lives.

It makes me mad when people who have never served one day in the military, think they know what’s best for the military. Non-Veterans don’t have a clue what it cost for them to roam freely, they take for granted that someone died in order for them to do what they do. They murmur and complain, yet they are not willing to make such a sacrifice.

I guess we all treat Jesus like that. We murmur, we complain, we take life for granted, we act as if no one died for our sins and freedoms; yet none of us are willing to die for each other. None of us are willing to sacrifice all, especially for people we don’t like or know.

So, what will you give to this world? What mark will you leave? Will you sacrifice anything or will you murmur and complain until the day you die?

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Sleep On It

by woman2womanministries1

Has someone ever asked you to do something and immediately without hesitation you said yes or no? Never giving a thought to what you just agreed or disagreed too. The next time this happens, sleep on it before giving them an answer.

When you sleep on it, it gives you a chance weigh the pros and cons of committing or not committing. It gives you a chance to see what’s in it for you. It gives you a chance to really see how people will act if they think you’re going to answer in a different way than they thought.

When Jesus was sleep on the boat and the storm came, the disciples said does he care if we perish. It’s not that Jesus didn’t care, but you get to see a persons true colors when they get in a bind or a tight spot. Besides, they asked you for help, therefore, you are entitled to sleep on it.

Maybe just maybe, when you sleep on it and they say never mind; they’ll find out that they really didn’t need you. They just needed to discover what was inside of them.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Now What

by woman2womanministries1

When all hell breaks through in your life, you ask God, now what. What am I supposed to do with this mess of a situation I have on my hands? What is going to happen now, and like clock work God becomes silent.

Did you ever stop to think, that your problems had to get permission to exists in your life? When you get to the point of now what, you have to keep it moving. Trouble don’t last always, but because we harp on our troubles almost every waking moment of the day, we continue to breath life into them. Even when our troubles seems to be dying down we go and put them on life support.

What would happen if we treated our troubles like God treats them? You know, just be quiet and make it seem like they’re not bothering you. Then all of a sudden, one day out of nowhere take care of it. Now what moments can strengthen us if we allow them too. However, we have become so accustomed to our now what moments defeating us, that we’ve lost that fight inside of us.

How is it, when we ran the streets we didn’t take any mess from anybody; and now that we’re saved we act like cowards at the first sign of trouble. God don’t need no coward soldiers in his army. Fight the enemy like he said something about your momma and when he raise up say NOW WHAT.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Stop Racing Each Other

by woman2womanministries1

Each one of us have our own race to run, however, it seems as though we are trying to run someone else’s race. God has each of us on a different course and track but we won’t stop looking at the other persons course.

Some married people look at single people and wish that they were single, but they don’t realize the single persons course might be a lonely one. Single people look at married people and think Lord why am I not married. However, they might not realize that married persons course is full of lies, deceit and cheating. We look at other peoples courses on our job and think, man I can’t wait till I reach the top. Not knowing their course is full of stress, unhappiness, and cut throat actions.

We have to realize that God knows what he is doing. He has not made a mistake by putting you in the race you’re in. By the way, it doesn’t matter how fast you run, the race is not finished until the Lord calls you home. But don’t use this as an excuse to run slow either. Pace yourself, and when you find yourself getting winded; pray, seek God’s face and catch your second wind.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Pain

by woman2womanministries1

All of us has experienced some type of pain. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or psychological. Nevertheless, we didn’t die in our pain.

My knee hurts so bad, that it swells up at night and burns awfully bad, however, I can’t stop walking, I can’t stop working. No, although it hurts extremely bad, it hasn’t killed me and I have to keep living until my change comes. Whether it’s a knee replacement or something else.

Pain let’s you know what’s inside of you and it lets you know just how much you can bear. Sometimes when you’re in pain it seems as if you’re not going to make it and that this is the end. But somehow, someway you always manage to take one more step, to make it one more day; and look at you now. You’re much stronger and wiser.

No matter what type of pain you are in, you have to keep living. You can’t allow the pain to cloud your judgement, and yes, even in your pain you have to trust God. Even, when it feels like God is no where around or it seems as if he’s forgotten about you, trust him.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
