I’M HURTING LORD

Phil 3:13-14 …But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind me,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before me. 
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ.  

 How did this happen again?  How did I end up here?  I thought they were the one.
They said they loved me, it felt so right.  I gave my all and yet here I am again… hurting

Sounds familiar? You’ve been from relationship to relationship searching for that special someone.
Only to have your heart broken time after time.  God never told you to search for anyone. 
He said if you would delight yourself in Him, He would give you your heart’s desire. 
Listen to what He said; Give you your heart’s desire.  He will give them to you.
Do you not believe His word?  
Why do you think it is impossible for the Lord to be concerned about your love life? 
If He weren’t concerned about you being alone He never would have made a man and woman. 
He promised to supply your every need.  Why do you think that only applies to your material needs? 
When He said your every need, He meant just that.  If you have a need, He is concerned.  

How did you end up here?  Well, you started off wrong. 
You used the wrong things to attract what you thought was going to the love of your life.  

 You used Maybelline, Cover Girl, Flori Roberts, Perry Ellis, Christian Dior, and Victoria Secret and sex to attract the person you thought you wanted.  You may have gotten a few movie dates, gone out dancing, and maybe a few dinners(if you were lucky).  You ended up with exactly what you used to get them, someone superficial. Someone who only wanted what they could get from you, and most of the time it’s your body, and not a loving relationship.  

What you needed was a walk in the park holding hands, someone to pull out your chair, your door opened, roses just because, a card to let you know they are thinking of you, a call just to see how your day is going, and most of all someone to hang in there with you help you pray through the rough times. Instead of spending so much time on the outward appearances, we should spend more time on the inner man.  I am not saying that we shouldn’t care about the outer appearance, however it shouldn’t be the foundation the relationship is built upon. You want to start with a solid foundation

  What foundation is that you ask? .   A foundation blessed by the Lord will stand against any storm the enemy sends your way.  God wants to give you a love that won’t cause you pain, if you will let Him.  Do you want to know how much He loves you?  I want you to think real hard about what I am about to say. I want you to meditate on this the next time you are alone with that special someone.  Think about all the relationships you have had.  All the times you have been sexually intimate, spent the night.  Got up the next morning, never once thanked the Lord for allowing you to see another day. You did all that, and never once thought that the night before   could have been your last.  God was there, oh yes, (remember we can’t hide from God), and yet you are here able to read this paper.  He could have come while you were in the midst of sinning, but He didn’t. Why? I will tell you why, because He loves you.

Here is something I’ve learned, and the Lord wants you to know. 
Each time you become sexually intimate with a person.  
You are becoming one with their spirit.  Do you know all there is to know about them? 
Do you mind carrying whatever they have on them? What you think is only for a night, will last a lot longer than that.  Ever wonder why you start getting sick, when you weren’t getting sick before.  Well, the person you were intimate with could be prone to all kind of diseases.  Guess what? You are now sharing it with them.  The relationship may be over, but they have left something with you. Suppose they have a lying spirit, a murderous spirit, and a thieving spirit? Guess what? You are being exposed to it.  Now are they worth it?  Are you will to carry their heavy load? . 
Yes, it may have been wonderful while you are in the moment, but what will that moment cost you?

Let’s take this time now to think on all the people you have been with.  Have you repented?
Have you asked Lord to deliver you from all they left behind?  If not, please take the time do so now.

I am saying this to you because God doesn’t want anyone to be lost, and He told me my first order was to preach salvation.  The enemy would have you to think that it’s ok, but it’s not.  But it’s not.
There is something wrong with a little bump and grind.

God gave His life that you might have the right to a more abundant life.  And giving your body to just anyone is not God’s best for you, and giving your body to anyone other than your spouse is outside of God’s will.      

You want a love that you don’t have to call all over town to find. 
You want a love that will let you drop by their house anytime.
You want a love that won’t constantly pressure you to be thinner.
You want a love that will support you whether you are a loser or a winner.
You want to a love that will allow you to grow and wont’ get in the way.
You want a love that will help you pray and pray and pray.

So cry it out, cry it out before the altar.  Allow the Lord to purge you of the hurt.
Allow the Lord to fill you up with His joy, His peace, and His love.  I
f you allow Him to purge you of it, the enemy can’t hurt you anymore.  

He doesn’t want you to have just anyone in your life. 
Have you come to far to settle for just anything? 
Have you suffered too much for your anointing?  You don’t have to settle for just anyone.  
God wants only good and perfect for His children.  Allow Him to give you His best.  

 No longer will you have to PUT OUT to PUT UP with what you think is love.
Let God will put out for you.  He will put out His angels bring you that perfect love that is waiting for your.  Be that virtuous woman He has called you to be.

 So where is this special someone?  Why is it taking so long? Well, are you ready for them? 
Are you sure?  Is your life where it should be?  Have you truly prepared yourself to receive a mate?
Is your house in order? Read this note from a friend and you decide.

When will there be love……

Everyone longs to give himself completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another,
to be loved thoroughly and exclusively.

But God says to the Christian: “ Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me along, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to me; with having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.  You will never be united with another until you are united with Me, exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings.

I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you cannot image.  I want you to have the best.  Please allow Me to bring it to you.  You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things.  Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am.  Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you.  You just wait, that’s all.  Don’t be anxious.  Don’t worry.

Don’t look around at the things others have gotten or that I’ve given them.  Don’t look around at the things you think you want.  You just keep looking at Me, or you will miss what I want to show you.  And then, when you are ready, I’ll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would dream of.  You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready, (I am working even at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time) until you are both are satisfied exclusively with Me, and the life prepared for you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is the perfect love.

And, dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love.  I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection and love.  What I offer you is a love beyond what you could ever comprehend.   Now isn’t this love worth waiting for? Know that I love you utterly.  Believe in me and be Satisfied. 

Isn’t this the love you deserve? Allow God to show you that true Love is SENSATIONAL,
not SEXSATIONAL. Allow God to show you what real love is.

TRUE LOVE IS ETERNAL, it will stand the test of time.

Allow Him to prepare that mate for you.  
Aren’t you tired of giving too much of yourself to keep a mate? 
Don’t you want a love that will be with you for better or worse, in sickness and health, until death do you apart? I know you do, I do. .
