WOMEN IN RELATIONSHIPS
TO ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE. WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE AND FALL IN LOVE, STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF. IN ALL MY YEARS, I HAVE WATCHED SOME WOMEN CHANGE FOR THE ONE THEY ARE WITH. AFTER AWHILE THE OTHER PERSON MAY SAY THAT YOU DON’T NEED YOUR FRIENDS, YOU JUST NEED ME. THEN AFTER TIME, IT MAY BECOME FAMILY THAT THEY MIGHT SAY THAT THEY ARE YOUR FAMILY AND YOU DON’T NEED ANYONE ELSE. ARE THEY GOING TO EVENTUALLY TELL YOU THAT YOU DON’T NEED GOD IN YOUR LIFE ANYMORE. IF THEY DON’T LIKE WHO YOU WERE WHEN THEY FIRST MET YOU, THEN TELL THEM TO GO FIND THAT PERSON THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. SOME RELATIONSHIPS BECOME LIKE THIS EARLY AND FAST SO YOU KNOW THAT IT NEEDS TO END. THEN OTHERS ARE A LITTLE PIECE AT A TIME
UNTIL YOU CAN’T RECOGNIZE YOURSELF ANYMORE. IS YOUR SMILE FADING. HAS YOUR JOY, FAITH, AND LOVE JUST BECOMING A MEMORY. THEN GIVE YOURSELF TIME FOR YOU TO FOCUS ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED. SEARCH THE BIBLE FOR ANSWERS AND FOR GOD’S GUIDANCE. MAYBE IT’S TO DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BUT YOU MAKE YOUR CHANGES TO FIND OUT WHO YOU WERE AND BECOME A BETTER YOU. IF THE PERSON YOU ARE WITH DON’T LIKE YOUR POSITIVE DIRECTION THEN YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER TO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. PRAY TILL THEY UNDERSTAND OR MOVE ON.
I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN IN MY LIFE THAT HAVE STRUGGLES RIGHT NOW. GOD MADE YOU TO BE WHO YOU ARE. IF YOU DON’T KNOW GOD AND ARE GOING THROUGH HARD TIMES, YOU NEED HIM NOW MORE THAN EVER. GOD IS YOUR ANSWER. TRUST ME. EARLY ON IN MOST RELATIONSHIPS THIS DOES HAPPEN TO WOMEN AND SOME MEN TOO. YOU DON’T NEED TO LOSE YOURSELF TO MAN.
MATTHEW 10:39.HE THAT FINDETH HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT; AND HE THAT LOSETH HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE SHALL FIND IT.
ISAIAH 41:10.SO DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU; I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
PSALM 28:7.THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SHIELD; MY HEART TRUSTS IN HIM, AND I AM HELPED. MY HEART LEAPS FOR JOY AND I WILL GIVE THANKS TO HIM IN SONG.
COLOSSIANS 3:2.SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS THAT ARE ON EARTH.
MATTHEW 6:33.BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU.
ROMANS 8:5.FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH SET THEIR MINDS ON THE THINGS OF THE FLESH, BUT THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT SET THEIR MINDS ON THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT.
2 TIMOTHY 2:15.DO YOUR BEST TO PRESENT YOURSELF TO GOD AS ONE APPROVED, A WORKER WHO HAS NO NEED TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY HANDLING THE WORD OF TRUTH.
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13.NO TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU THAT IS NOT COMMON TO MAN. GOD IS FAITHFUL, AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND YOUR ABILITY, BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ENDURE IT.
1 PETER 3:17.FOR IT IS BETTER TO SUFFER FOR DOING GOOD, IF THAT SHOULD BE GOD’S WILL, THAN FOR DOING EVIL.
TODAY MY HEART HAS BEEN HEAVY OVER A LOVED ONE THAT THESE WORDS TONIGHT IS WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH. I PRAY FOR THEM AS I PRAY FOR YOU ALL OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE IN A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS OR HAS BECOME DESTRUCTIVE. THE DESTRUCTION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL TO BE DAMAGING. THE LOVING HEART TAKES LONGER TO MEND ONCE IT HAS BEEN BROKEN. WITH GOD’S HELP IT CAN MEND OR EXCEPT AND GO ON.
THRU THE MIST UPDATE
WHO IS THE ENEMY?
Luke 6:35 KJV 35.But love ye your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your
reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children
of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful
and to the evil.
Romans 12:9 KJV 9.Let love be without dissimulation.
Adhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is
good.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV 4.Charity suffereth long, and
is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up, 5.Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh
not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6.Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7.Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things. 8.Charity never faileth: but whether there
be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they
shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
I SAY AGAIN, “WHO IS THE ENEMY”
Psalm 119:114-115, 125-127 KJV 114.Thou art my hiding place and my shield:
I hope in thy word. 115.Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will
keep the commandments of my God. 125.I am thy servant; give me
understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126.It is time for
thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127.Therefore
I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
I SAY AGAIN, “WHO IS THE ENEMY”
There are a lot of enemies in my life but my worse enemy is myself.
Psalm 120:1-7 KJV 1.In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard
me. 2.Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful
tongue. 3.What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto
thee, thou false tongue? 4.Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of
juniper. 5.Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the
tents of Kedar! 6.My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7.I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
This verse speaks of me but I continue to do what the Lord wants me to
do.
Psalm 119:71 KJV 71.It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that
I might learn thy statues. 72.The law of thy mouth is better unto me
than thousands of gold and silver. 73.Thy hands have made me and
fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74.They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have
hoped in thy word. 75.Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for
my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 77.Let thy tender
mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78.Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without
a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. 79.Let those that fear
thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 80.Let my
heart be sound in thy statues; that I be not ashamed.
WHO IS THE ENEMY IN YOUR LIFE?
LET JESUS BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE AND LET HIM FIGHT WHATEVER ENEMY IS COMING AGAINST YOU.
