Dates With Jesus : Overcomer The Movie

The day I went to see this movie I had a bad day…. I failed at something that I believed I wasnt going to fail in… That day was hard for me. Just being honest.

#Honestly

When I made the decision to go see this movie ( completely spur of the moment by the way) it wasnt planned.. Actually, I was going to wait till next month because I wanted to save my money. I had enough but … I just wanted to save. However, things got so bad I just decided “you know what…. I’m going to the movies.”

Back Drop

Now God has been dealing with me about this movie with Priscilla Shrier .. I mean every where I went I saw a picture of this movie. It’s ironic because when I first started “Dates With Jesus” in 2016 it came from her movie War Room (Proverbs 31:30)… So here I am three years later returning back to my first love.

Things I Loved About The Movie

  • So I go to the movie with my food which were Nachos 🙂 and begin to enjoy watching the movie… And I was literally in there bawling crying… And the others who were there were cheering as well ! John 3:16
  • The movie has the anointing of Solomon… it shows the grace of redemption of someone old in age who comes back to Christ Jesus. It was beautiful (Luke 5:32).
  • It shows the power of prayer… Sometimes we as humans try to take things into our own hands… and that DOES not work ! But prayer does ❤ 1 Thessalonians 5:17

For Such A Time As This

What I loved the most is the Bible Verse that was in the movie… it takes serious boldness and faith to do that, especially in the times we are in. I myself have encountered trouble that comes with this. Everytime I talked about Jesus on my jobs I always got in trouble. And shockingly .. some people who claimed to be believers would tell me not to talk about God at work.. but I couldn’t help it. So this movie encouraged me that I will not bow (The Book Of Daniel). God blessed me and so I will say his name… Jesus.

How Did God Use This To Encourage Me ?

There are times that we have bad days and failures … There are times that we fall short… but we have to repent. God used this to show me that my failure was a process. And that through my running in His race eventually I will be the Head and Not the Tail….

If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.
Deuteronomy 28:13 NLT

Success takes time… it takes years… it’s a journey. It’s hard sometimes but during the running of this race we have to stay close to God….

You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?

He Who Does Not Work Does Not Eat

I think we as Christians sometimes live in a smoke screen… and the truth is a lot of times believers can chase fantasies and be over wise (Ecclesiastes 7:16). One issue that I think we don’t address as women is…  Well… what do you do when you have a crush on a man?

Lately

I have been struggling so heavily with this and afterwards God came to me in a dream and opened my crushes mouth and said

“He who does not work does not eat”

Now the Bible says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

Basically.. God used my crush in a dream to rebuke me and tell me to get to work… Why ?

  • Rachel was a shepherd before she was married (Genesis 29:9)
  • Ruth gleaned in the field before she married BOAZ (Ruth 2:3)
  • Rahab had a house before a husband (Joshua 2:1)
  • And the Queen of Sheba had wealth before she went to King Solomon. The Bible says in 1 Kings 10:2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a long train of camels carrying spices, gold, and jewels: and she told him all her problems. (TLB)
A woman prays on her knees at sunset.

LOVE

1 Corinthians 13 and Song of Songs tells us that love is so beautiful and it is designed by God to be joy for us. However, with that being said you still have to work.

  • Another dream I had is girls begin to quit their jobs for the winter (8 weeks) to spend time with their boyfriends.

Sis… That’s not going to work out for you. Fantasy leads to poverty. You have to guard your heart and mind. You have to work. And if you do it God’s way (which is the right way) your work and work ethic will put you in position to be married.

  • Proverbs 12:9 Just be who you are and work hard for a living, for that’s better than pretending to be important and starving to death. 10 A good man takes care of the needs of his pets, while even the kindest acts of a wicked men are still cruel. 11 Work hard at your job and you’ll have what you need. Following a get-rich-quick scheme is nothing but a fantasy. (TPT)
  • Ezekiel 2:5

What am I saying ?

There is nothing wrong with desiring a husband. You need to be married… So you can stay out of other people’s business (1Thessalonians 4:10-12). Also, there is nothing wrong with having a crush but there is everything wrong with a fantasy…. FEAR GOD INSTEAD.

Verse Of The Day

I waited and waited and waited for God . At last he looked; finally he listened. He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip. He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God. More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God .

Verse Of The Day

I give you all the credit, God — you got me out of that mess, you didn’t let my foes gloat. God , my God, I yelled for help and you put me together. God , you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out. All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God ! Thank him to his face! He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter. When things were going great I crowed, “I’ve got it made. I’m God ’s favorite. He made me king of the mountain.” Then you looked the other way and I fell to pieces. I called out to you, God ; I laid my case before you: “Can you sell me for a profit when I’m dead? auction me off at a cemetery yard sale? When I’m ‘dust to dust’ my songs and stories of you won’t sell. So listen! and be kind! Help me out of this!” You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. God , my God, I can’t thank you enough.
