HALELULIA!!! GOD IS GOOD! YOU WANT A MAN SOLD OUT TO GOD AND IN TURN HE'LL BE SOLD OUT TO YOU!

HALELULIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is so good! You guys, I was making $8 an hour and I'm now making $16! YOU CANT TELL ME THAT GOD CANT HANDLE EVEN THE SMALL THINGS!!!!! :PTL: WE WORSHIP AND HONOR YOU JESUS! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD THAT ANSWERS OUR NEEDS RIGHT ON TIME AND EVEN BEFORE WE NEED THEM!!! YOU WONT DISAPPOINT US OR EMBARRASS US. YOU WONT LEAVE US HANGING BUT WILL CLOTHE OUR ENEMIES IN COMPLETE AND UTTER SHAME! THEY'LL BE LEFT IN AMAZEMENT AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR YOUR PEOPLE!! Rise up because you are truly blessed sister!! thanks for posting desiree

I wanted God to fix Kevin, begged Him. Then I did what I usually did, fend off calls from his new girlfriend and him because he was angry that she was not like me and she was angry because he was throwing me up in her face - she believed that he was cheating on her with me - only I was celibate, so that wasn't it. Integrity will get you a Primo reputation, even with the exes. AINT THAT THE TRUTH GIRL!!! They never want you until you've moved on and are happy with someone else! Those exs know when you're "a good one"! I like that testimony! God is faithful that He will bring his promises to pass!! (Joshua 21:45)

Will pray that God give you sure direction of what it is that he desires for you! God bless desiree

First of all I have to say that I am truly "blown away" by the powerful women of God responses here!! Cholette, I totally agree with what you said about motives. My motives were totally wrong when it came to asking for things in the past but as mentioned: I've grown so much and am past that PRAISE GOD!! Lola, you couldn't of said what you said more beautifully! You too Celestial.butterfly! (and by the way, I LOVES Me some Myles Munroe as well!!) If you want to, I have another great book that you might be interested in reading (just email me if you like for the information). You guys are so lovely--I mean it! Lets just not "settle for less" and keep pressing towards the mark knowing that all things will work out for us in the end (Romans 8:38-which is now my favorite scripture! Smooches galore

Thanks be to God for his faithfulness and wonderful blessings!!! Have a happy day today! smooches desiree

Just a few questions: What about "speaking things that are not as though they were"(Romans 4:17) (meaning, you may not have it now, but you're speaking it by faith, knowing that its on its way?) Afterall, if you delight in God He WILL give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4)! ..Also "you have not because you ask not" (James 4:2)? Could it be that some of us don't have our husbands/wives yet because we're not asking with the right motives/heart? Ask yourselves, Why do I want to get married? Would I still be okay if I never get married? I'm a firm believer of praising God for what you don't have yet--its all about faith. Cholette, how is it manipulating God if he has already promised us that we can have the desires of our hearts (especially if we ask)--we still have to come to his throne BOLDLY for what we want don't we? (Hebrews 4:16). Even though this scripture talks about grace and receiving mercy, I believe it goes for anything else that we may have a desire for. If we're in God we're not going to ask anything that's not in his will because we'll have his mindset and want what HE desires for us (it won't be of the flesh) (John 15:7) I'm not trying to start a debate here, just wanted to make sure I understood where you were coming from!

I definitely had to become more humble!!!!lol Looking for the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and 1 Corinthians love to be daily evident in your mate's life is key as well (defines authenticity in my opinion). I'm a fruit inspector!!!Lol...If your fruit aint right, God will let me know!! I wanted to be married for all of the wrong reasons. I thought a husband would make me happy, release some of my financial stress, and complete me. Everything was based on feelings too (feelings can be so dangerous if we are driven by them). Before, every time I had a problem, I'd run to everyone else but God. I put more faith in people than I did God. I actually put people on pedestals. And when I look back, I put them in the place of God. I've lost many so called friends too. And when people have failed me and it seemed like the whole world was against me, I cried out to God. Most importantly-- when I finally realized that it was not about me, but serving God and serving in His Kingdom, that's when the lightbulb lit up. Boy have I been transformed! When God is transforming us, sometimes it hurts so bad. But believe me it's all worth it when you can see His love for you. Great discussion celestial.butterfly--I am in full agreement! What a good work God has done in my life!...thanks for posting this topic, it will bless many!

I believe that a woman is "a good thing" if she is supportive, humble, ingenuitive, uses discernment and is sensitive to the needs of her husband. She is that perfect complement for him--that missing puzzle piece that can bring she and him both into the entire plan that God has for their lives. I do believe that women must understand who they are in God (allow him to give them their validation) and show them their destinys first before they can meet their mates--or should I say, be able to be "that right match" for the mate. When you know who you are, you won't settle for less and even if the wrong ones ARE attracted to you, you will be able to sift them out. If you want certain characteristics in a mate, you have to be those characteristics yourself. Your mate will be strong where you are weak and vice verca. I just felt the need to say this--this is a constant reminder/revelation to me. I want to hold on to my vision/dream of a mate and not give up too quickly. God promises that if we continue to do what is right and not be tired in doing it, that we will in due time reap a harvest (crop) and receive double portion from him!! HALELULIA!! WORK ON YOURSELF AND WAIT FOR GODS BEST!! Smooches desiree

Happy birthday to D'Eloquence and my dear sister DAPHANIE (aka Laura) I am so thankfu that God brought you two into my lives!! May God bless you both on your special day!!! smooches desiree

Happy Birthday Hope!! Be blessed desiree

Happy Birthday and May Your day be a blessed one!

And Virtuous As always, you're on point!! GOD DOES AND CAN restore marriages!!

there is also the possability that the person ur waiting 4 has the choice 2 not be ur partner even thouh they r gods choice 4 u,,ther is still this free will aspect that god doesnt violate Thats a point well made dreamster. We ALL have free choice--God doesn't push anything on us. If one door closes on one person, there is another better door that God can open for us! I think as Christians we sometimes limit God even in the choice of a spouse!

GOD IS SOOOO GOOD! He leaves me breathless and speechless at his awesome power!!! I too felt the same way as you, "If I do this or that enough then I know I can win God's favor, salvation, and love,etc". Girl, He loves you more than you'll ever know! THERE IS NONE LIKE OUR GOD! PRAISE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for sharing-you've encouraged me! :cute:

We will definitely pray! I am sorry for his loss! How are you doing?

CLAIRE! YOU"RE ALIVE ANOTHER YEAR--WHAT A BLESSING!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL! GOD BLESS

Happy BDAY! I pray that God bless you in abundance today!

I LOVE IT WHEN GOD DOES THAT!!! YOU'RE LIVING IN THE OVERFLOW WHEN YOU GIVE TO GOD! :PTL:

I think that Dreamster is right on this one sis--you need to get away as soon as possible. You've seen the signs (there apparent before you) and you just talking about it lets me know that you are crying out for confirmation on what you already know to do! If your husband is not showcasing the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and he's not showing you the kind of love that Jesus exhorted us to show (1 Corinthians 13) then you definitely need to be thinking twice about your loyalty to him. Do it for the safety of your family. Maybe your moving on will cause him to come to Jesus down the road? Praying that God will keep his hand on your life desiree

So after the service was over a lady who attends my church has anyone evey told you that you are going to marry a pastor. and I smile and said yes. So I got another confirmation about my future helpmate will be a pastor. WOW--That's crazy!!!Lol...I TOO was told I'd marry a preacher but God knows I'm avoiding that route!!!lol Who knows who or what he'll be; I just want him to be a true man of God!!! I'm glad you got your confirmation. Just keep doing what you need to do until God sends your mate down your path! smooches desiree

True flight I think I speak for others when I say you are valuable here!! THANKS FOR BEING YOU! desiree

Thanks Cholette. And by the way: I'm all for "a date or two" as long as he's paying!!lol (hey a girls gotta eat!!lol)...let me stop! God bless

LovetoworshipJesus, Just know that even when you do find your helpmate (or when he comes I should say), you still will be attracted to other people--its a fact. Probably when you meet the one, others will be coming out of the woodwork--maybe even finer than him (and being that you're not into looks, they may have the characteristics that you deem attractive and it will turn you on!!!Lol). THe main thing is to stay focused as you said. You want your heart to be with your helpmate and even when temptations come your way, its up to you to not "fall into that temptation". God's spirit will help you to have self control but I don't want you to be naive in thinking you won't be attracted to others (I was under that misconception too!) I think of it like this: In Esther's time, the King was "more attracted" to Esther than all the other virgins and women (it didn't say he wasn't attracted at all to the other women, he was just more fond of Esther and she had favor with the kings and others) (Esther 2:9;17). The main thing: who cares if you're attracted to other people--you just want to have eyes for your mate-you want the attraction to him to be different than it is to others and I'm sure you want vice verca. Everything is gonna work out. When you meet that man (and I'm preaching to myself ) Both of you will know, and there will be peace. Both hearts will be "throbbing and swelling with joy"!!! Will pray that you stay focused on the plan that God has for your life and the rest will come!! smooches and blessings desiree
