Respect for Women

Image
**This is an excerpt from an article I read online about Respect for Women. Some words may be harsh, but it's TRUTH and some girls ARE taught at an early age that sex BEFORE marriage is okay and that it's okay to do and act unladylike in certain situations. I pray that God uses me to help shatter this myth of deception. ** In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, the word tells us:   3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. 8 So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spi...

Abstinence & Starting Over...It's possible!

*This information was posted by one of my spiritual sisters, it inspired me and I am led to share and not condemn anyone, because most young ladies and single women don't realize that they CAN start over and need this. *I didn't have anyone to tell me this information, I was just told to stay away from guys and the type of girls that they liked. I realize that some parents don't know HOW to address this topic and that's okay-I thank God for NOW. I do THANK Veronica Seaboorne for speaking unwaivering TRUTH as God leads and I pray this blesses the reader. ABSTINENCE (Waiting Until Marriage) If you WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE, you can: Know that a person likes you because of who you are and not because you will “go all the way” Have self-respect and respect from others because of standing firm and accomplishing a goal Know trust, honesty and patience Experience peace of mind Develop true intimacy Have a clear conscience Discove...

Thoughts...My Biological Father

Image
I was about to write about guys for my girls only workshop and suddenly felt at a loss for words. I need to talk to my father. I just want to talk to him because I haven’t and I want a relationship with him. I want to know why he left me, and refused to call me over the years. he has my number and STILL  hasn't  called me. I want to develop a relationship with him. I don’t know what it’s like to have a natural father in my life besides God and I feel like a piece of me is missing, a part of the puzzle is missing. I’m not expecting a grand entrance or tearful reunion because I'm not a sensitive person, I just want answers and to talk to him, maybe introduce salvation to him. I don’t want him to die without knowing his only daughter loved him and just wanted him to be there in his life. Relationships change, and people change but my love for him...(God’s love is first)...NEVER died, in spite of what he did. It’s like I was always waiting for him to come around and just t...

How Long?!

Okay, so I thought I’d share this. It caught my eye a few minutes ago- think I wrote this last year or the beginning of this year. I don’t know if this was mean to be a poem and not sure what I was going through. I’m guessing it’s the moment I questioned God and asked myself: Am I just functioning, am I in the will of God and this isn't where I’m supposed to be! How Long? I was reflecting on this year and how grateful I am to be where I am, and at the same time, disappointed, thinking how and why did I get myself into other things, and God said” How long are you going to mourn over this? Be regretful over that? Stay there and you know that’s not your place? I’ve moved on... Too many times we sit back, looking and wondering what could’ve, should’ve and would’ve been done to prevent circumstances in the dimension God has us in; when it’s long gone from God’s memory, you’ve grown and finally focused where weakness once was. “The spirit of LIFE has set me free’...

SAY WHAT?

**I wanted to share. This was written by my Spiritual Mother, Prophetess Ethel Buchanan (getemworldwide.ning.com) I was just discussing with a saint,an issue that is growing worse in many ministries online and face to face houses of worship. People actually become vexed and jaws puff up, when a leader mentions FINANCES! The teaching of "sowing and reaping" principles bring yawns, immediate deleting of emails, and rapid scrolling past statuses. There is the sound that hits Gods ears of "they always asking for money." GUESS WHY? Because people are ALWAYS NOT being obedient to the leading of God to GIVE! We come to websites, expecting it to be up and running, we call in for counseling and teleconference calls, expecting the line to be open, we pull up on the parking lot expecting the lights to be on and  the heat pumping. But we want to put the "complimentary" dollar in the offering plate, and think we really have dobe something great, and KNOW you h...

Forming Impressions

‘But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light’.(1 Peter 2:9) I was doing a Case Study for a class and ran across four concepts that Social Psychologist deem important in assessing others, which are; 1. Sources of Information (Sources and types of information that that helps form impressions of others) 2. Snap and Systematic  Judgments (Retaining first impressions and intentional reflections) 3. Attributions (Assuming we know the causes of another’s behavior) 4. Cognitive Distortions (Taking an easy way to define others by using social categorization and stereotyping) I thought about all of these concepts and how man has a system for judging a person based on what  we see, hear and read about an individual, but God is the total opposite! As a chosen generation we are to walk and talk in our God given ...
