Virtuous

I know that's right!!!!!!!

Praise God!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Jesus!!!!!!!!!! I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. YESSSSSSSSSS! Now that's what I'm talking about.

You're right. I felt it in my spirit after reading your reply. I'm waiting for the praise report. THANK YOU JESUS!

Thank you. I know He will do it for the both of us!

God you said promotion comes from you. We pray right now that you will give Desiree favor with You and man. Go before her Lord, and prepare the hearts of everyone she must come in contact with. We thank you for favor and an open door to be placed before her. YOUR will be done, in Jesus name.

I stand in agreement with you as well. I, too, am "WAITING" on God to give me direction on the home He has for me.

You have a "Healing Ministry". That's why your hands began to have a burning sensation.

Those in the old testament who were seeking a king did not have the interest of God either. I truly believe God gave them His permissive will (what they kept begging for), rather than His perfect will (what He had already planned to give them). That's why there is an old saying that goes..."Be careful what you ask (pray) for. God allowed Saul to be king over them, even in his wickedness, but in the end God changed Saul's heart in an instant. He was given the name Paul, and became one of God's powerhouses! What the enemy meant for bad, God turned it around for good.

Now, that's what I'm talkin' bout!!!!!!!

Being a Praise & Worship Leader myself, I think it's safe for me to speak on this. From what you say about your husband, music is his ministry. When we operate in our ministry, the enemy will do whatever and use whoever to abort/hinder the call Jesus has on our lives. There are times when I only have my music. The breakthrough of prayers come through my Praise & Worship. Just this past few years, the devil has tried his best to pull every trick known in the book to steal my Praise & Worship from me. Just this past Sunday the revelation of that really hit me. I went up for prayer and I told the devil he is a liar. He may strip me of every natural and materialistic thing I have (only if God gives him permission) but HE WILL NOT STEAL MY PRAISE from me and I mean that. I pray that God will give you peace and rest. He said it in His word, John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Receive the Peace of God that He left with you. You and your husband together. Pray him through this and you tell that devil who you are (in Christ) and who he ain't (yep, had to go back to my roots with that word ! LOL) You all have VICTORY in Jesus. He said it and that settles it. One more thing. I went through an awful time with my Pastor. I wanted to leave so bad. I prayed and prayed and prayed. I told God I was leaving that church and I was going to another one. I told Him I would still give my tithes and offerings in the church until I found another church home but I was not going back. He said, "You're not going anywhere. You're going to sit through this." I couldn't leave. So be sure that before you leave, God has given you permission to do so. Not only will the enemy work to abort our ministry, he will also work to bring separation between us and the Shepherd God has placed over us. We may not understand it, but it happens. I had to learn this the hard way. I was running around (not to everybody...just my family) talking about what happened with me in the church. Big mistake. When it come to our Pastors, if it's something we feel they did wrong, we have to take it to God in prayer. I also learned through this time that God cares about our feelings. God can deal with people far better than we can...including our Pastors.

It's been a while since you first posted this. What you say may be true...now. Initially, I think it was more than that. But, I'm so glad you have the peace you were looking for. That is truly a blessing.

I think you need to forgive your ex for whatever happened in your relationship. You are right, God said, "Vengeance is Mine." He didn't mean for you to be overjoyed in someone else's pain. Proverbs 24:17-18 "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth, Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from Him."
