The
TIMES OF refreshing
Scripture reading: Proverbs 18:22 "The man who finds a
wife finds a treasure and receives favor from the Lord” (New Living
Translation) Ladies,
I know that I touched on this subject briefly before, but the Lord put
it in my spirit again, so there must be someone out there that needs to
hear the message in full this time.
So I pray that the one whom the Lord is trying to reach will read
this newsletter. Normally
when we read Proverb 18:22, it’s usually quoted in reference to the
men, but the Lord has chosen it this time to address an issue with the
Ladies: Stop
looking for a man In
my walk with the Lord, I continue to hear ladies talk about “looking
for a good man” or "trying to find a husband".
While I confess that I don’t know every scripture in the bible,
my studies thus far haven’t revealed a verse that says “a woman who
finds a man finds a good thing”.
Yet there are many women today doing exactly that, looking for a
man. Chasing a man they just met simply because they can’t
handle spending some time alone. If
you can’t stand being alone with yourself, why do you think someone
will be able to? And how can you expect men to respect you, when you
aren’t showing respect for yourself when you chase after them?
Ladies,
God created man before He created woman.
He created you after everything else was done. He said that it wasn’t good for man to be alone, so He
created you to be a helpmeet for man, to be a treasure, not a treasure
hunter. All things were in
place when you were formed. You
didn’t have to go out and do anything.
God had already taken care of it for you.
So why would God change things now and tell you to go out and
find a husband? He
didn’t, He said the man who finds a wife, finds a treasure. Stop
looking and be found I
see ads in the paper where ladies are advertising themselves to get a
mate. I see and hear of
ladies searching on the Internet, entering chat rooms to meet a man.
Then actually traveling to wherever they are to meet them.
Without giving the man the opportunity to come to them first. Why are
you so desperate? Don’t
you know that by going to him first, you are establishing the type of
woman that you are? Yet,
you act so surprised when he doesn’t treat you like a lady.
Your actions told him that you weren’t.
Your actions told him what you were after, and he gave you
exactly what your actions said you needed…someone to take advantage of
you. Stop
looking and be found There
are ladies attending after hours professional gatherings in hopes of
landing “Mr. Right” These women dress up, get their hair and nails
done to attend a function that they don’t know anything about simply
because they have heard that professional men with be there.
It doesn’t matter to them how his walk with the Lord is, just
as long as he is a professional man.
And that’s exactly what they will get a professional man. “A
professional what...only God knows.
You see ladies while you are all dressed up in an outfit that you
will be returning tomorrow, this professional man you are chasing is
probably doing the same thing. Oh
yeah, he is all dressed up in his suit (which might be rental), because
he too was told that there will be professional women there, and he is looking for
someone to take care of him, just like you are.
Didn’t know that did you?
Oh yes, they are out there. Stop
looking and be found We
have the ladies with children that won’t allow the man to spend too
much time around the kids, not because they are trying to protect them,
but because they want to make sure they have the man so hooked, that
when he finally meets the children he will ignore their home training
(or lack of training), and marry them anyway.
Ladies, you know what I am talking about. You don’t let him
come to the house because you need time to try and get the kids (your
house) in order to meet the man. When
in fact if you would spend quality time with your children now, (instead
of looking for a man) you won’t have to worry about whether or not
they will embarrass you when you bring someone home. Stop
looking and be found Oh,
and let’s not forget the “good sistas” that attend church in their
too short, too tight, and too low cut dresses, in hopes of enticing the
men in the church (clergy included).
Ladies you need to know that every man that says “AMEN,
isn’t
“A Man” that you need in your life. Some (and I say some) of these same men that you are trying
to entice are there for
the same reason you are. They
have been told that they can find a “good clean girl” in church.
You see you have got to resist the charm and the external
appearance of these seemingly together brothers who claim to love the
Lord, but are only there to find the women, who are there to find the
men for all the wrong reasons. What
happened to going to church to praise and worship the Lord?
Stop
looking and be found Ladies,
you are basing your selection of a mate on all the wrong criteria.
You are choosing a man based on Stop
looking and be found You
must be honest with yourself about your walk with the Lord. And if you
can’t be honest with yourself, then you are not ready for the Lord to
bless you with a husband. You
seeif you have been looking for a man, then you are not ready
for the Lord to bless you with a husband.
Because if you want a husband, the first thing you shouldn’t do
is look for one. The first thing you should do is seek a closer
relationship with the Lord by seeking His Kingdom first.
Read
what the Word says: Mat
6:33 But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, Instead of looking
for a husband, continuously study God's Word and pray that while He has
you hidden away you develop into the kind of wife who will attract and
bless a godly husband with the perfect love of the Lord. God knows your hearts desires and He has promised to bring
what you have asked for to pass if you will trust Him to do it.
His
word says: “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give
thee the desires of thine heart. Did you read what
His words said? You
don’t have to go looking, He has promised to bring him to you. All He
asks that you do is to Seek Him, Delight yourself
in Him, and Commit what you have asked to Him, then Trust
Him, to Bring your husband to you. He never said for you to go looking, He said He would
bring Him to you. Let’s reiterate what He said: 1.
Seek Him first 2.
Delight yourself in Him 3.
Commit your needs to Him 4.
Trust Him 5.
And He will bring him to you Stop
looking and be found Ladies,
God wants you to have the best, He only wants good and perfect for His
treasure. Yes, that’s
right God calls you
His treasure. I know the
King James Version says "a good thing", but for our talk today
"treasure" is more fitting, because treasure is usually
hidden. And have you ever
seen a treasure looking for someone to find them?
No, treasures are usually hidden, took away, in a secret place,
waiting for the right person to come along and find them. A treasure is
not going around saying “Come
and get with this” or “ You
don’t know what you are missing”.
No a treasure is hidden, waiting to be found. Treasures don't go looking
for those that would own them, but treasures are found by those worthy
of caring for them, and can appreciate their true value.
God says in Proverbs 31:10 that you are worth more than rubies.
Who
can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. (Proverbs
31:10) Ladies,
do you know your own value? If you don’t, stop and R.A.P
(RESPECT, APPRECIATE AND PLEASE) yourself first.
Know who you are in the Lord first, before you try and bring
someone else into your life. Learn
to be happy (pleased) with yourself first, and then you will be happy
with the mate God sends you. Learn
to appreciate the little specials He gives you to take
care of, and then you will rejoice when the big ticket (husband)
item comes. Mat
25:21… Well done, thou
good and faithful servant: No
Ladies, God is not going to make you ruler over your husband. Stop that!
You understand what I am saying to you.
If you are faithful over the few things He asks you to do (you
know seek, delight, commit, and trust), then He will give
you the big thing that you have asked Him for. Ladies,
you should be tucked away (so-to-speak) while God works on you and makes
you so complete in Him, that you will be emotionally, spiritually, and
mentally ready when your intended husband finds you. So prepare yourself
for a husband by waiting (not looking) patiently on Lord to do His work
in you His way and in His time. Allow the Lord to make you the “Bomb”,
and to shape and mold you into His “Brick House”, so
that you can be the “bad Mama Jamma” that God wants
you to be for your husband. So ladies in closing please
don't marry the wrong man! Wait! Solomon 3:4 says,” I have found whom
my soul loves." She found the one her soul loves because she was
patient. She found the one
her soul loves because she was hidden away.
She found the one her soul loves because she trusted in the Lord
to bring him to her. If you are patient, you will meet the one whom your
soul loves.
Ladies, one last thing the
Lord has given me to say to you. Know
that you are stepping out of my will for your life by looking for a man.
What you are doing is not in His Word. Hear what the Lord
is saying to you: Why do you look to others for what you need? You are My righteous one, you don’t have to beg
them Yet you go to the and allow them to use you Wait for Me to supply your needs You’ve come too far to settle for just anything Will you wait for Me? I waited for you. Stop
looking and be found!
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 se,
until you are ready, and until you are ready, and until the one I have
for you is read, (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 the love you need, and Myself.
Know that we love you utterly. I
am God. Believe it and be
satisfied. Contributors
