Free From Pain

1 Chronicles 4:9-10Amplified Bible

⁹Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; but his mother named him Jabez, saying, “Because I gave birth to him in pain.” ¹⁰Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would indeed bless me and enlarge my border [property], and that Your hand would be with me, and You would keep me from evil so that it does not hurt me!” And God granted his request.

When you become a parent, your eyes will be opened to a whole other world. Another world where you realize that your decisions impact your child and yourself as well. When it is just you and bad decisions become a lifestyle, it can be easy to numb the pain. However, when you give birth you realize that some pain cannot be numbed but it must be addressed. That means some relationships have to end, some tears have to be shed, and some lessons have to be learned to provide a better life for your child. Painful decisions that lead to victory seem bleak in the beginning… but in the end the Lord will bless you. When I became pregnant with my daughter the doctor’s told me to terminate her because I would die if I carried her full term. Not only that , people persecuted me and I had no support. My mother’s day was lonely and the pain that I endured cannot even be described. But now, when I look at my daughter Ruth I can say that it was all worth it. Today… view today as your new Mother’s Day. Make the decision that even if it hurts… you will make better decisions for your child or children.

Prayer

Father, help me to rely on you and not toxic relationships. Keep me safe in your arms and away from all hurt, harm, and danger. In Jesus Name, I pray… Thank God, Amen.

LETTING GOD HEAL YOU AFTER A BROKEN ENGAGMENT

Letting God Heal You After A Broken Marriage Engagement

1 Peter 3:7

New Living Translation

Husbands

⁷In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Hey Guys..

After praying about this I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that this is a topic that I needed to write on for both name her woman and abundance of peace. For a few months now I have not necessarily written articles.. I have been constantly posting Bible verses… and there is nothing wrong with that. But I believe that God told me to do this and to share a little of my story.

God Told Me To Let Him Go

Honestly… I never wanted to be married. I was not one of those girls growing up who desired or dreamed about becoming a wife or mother. That never was something that I wanted or needed. But I never really had trouble getting a “man”… but I did have toxic relationship troubles..

Constantly, in my relationships I continued to come across the same issue.. Men wanted me, my body, my beauty, and how I looked… but they did not want Jesus. Which means they want me to be one way at church and “pretend” like I am holier than thou there… but when I go home they wanted me to become someone else that satisfies there lust issue.

The Inner War

Yes… I have made bad decisions with relationships… who hasn’t …but… it gets old.. Bad decisions get very old and very tiring. Our generation is very entitled. They believe that they can hurt , be evil, and mean to people… and we’re just supposed to put up with that ? No.. That’s a fantasy not reality..

I began to have a inner war with in me.. I could feel God telling me that this engagement was not going to last… I could feel God telling me that I made a mistake.. that I just had to listen to Him and trust Him.. and He would deliver me.

Basically…

I made the decision not to get married…. And this is why…

If someone has a lust problem.. I cant fix that.. only God can. Deliverance needs to take place.
Little comments of someone saying you’re to “old, boring, or a grandma” can lead to bigger problems with men … Sometimes it’s a small hint that they desire a woman who is sexually inappropriate and more provocative than you.
If someone makes fun of you because you’re a Christian by calling you a “nun”… well maybe they are not really for you…..

I Cannot Change The Fact That I Love God

Ending an engagement hurts… it really does. But if this is your story it is going to be ok. Sometimes when you continue to let people hurt you, make you cry yourself to sleep, lie to you, and make fun of you… they go further and further to hurt you.

Toxic relationships are not healthy. The enemy is trying to make toxic people the new normal… but I rebuke that in the Name Of Jesus ..

Toxic people have to understand that no one has to put up with them… Period.

I pray for people/women… who heart’s are broken right now because they are not getting married to who they thought would be their forever…

Personally

**This is for adults**

God gave me a promise that my husband would be a AMAZING man of God. Which means…

He doesn’t make rude comments because I love Jesus (calling me a nun, grandma, or old woman).
He loves me for me.. I don’t have to dress provocative for him to want me…
He wont cheat on me (such as text other women, lie about being married, or watch pornography).

God Has A Special Plan

I know that God has a special plan for whomever I am destined, purposed, and led by Jesus to marry. I also believe that God has this same plan for you. You just have to trust Him like I did… even if it hurts.

Prayer

Father, I pray that you personally intervene and heal everyone who is crying themselves to sleep over a bad relationship. I pray that you give them beauty for ashes. I pray that you wipe away every tear from their eyes. I pray God that you introduce yourself as ABBA… Our King… Our Savior.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Romans 8:15

New Living Translation

¹⁵So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.^[a] Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”^[b]

A Woman Who Fears The Lord

When you look in the Book of Exodus you encounter many divine deliverance’s from God. Immediately in the beginning of Exodus, you are introduced to the History of the children of Israel and what there current situation is.

Your job matters

I think the medical ministry is beautiful because God can use you at the right place and the right time. How beautiful is it, to be a Christian in medicine …

Exodus 1:15-16 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁵Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: ¹⁶“When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver.^[a] If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.”

In this passage the two midwives feared God and obeyed their beliefs. Because they obeyed God, God honored them and gave them their own families (Exodus 1:20 NLT). So today or when the situation arises… and someone doesn’t know if they are going to keep their child or faced with the idea of abortion, remember this verse .

Exodus 1:17 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁷But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.

God is going to honor you for being obedient. Children are a reward. And as we begin to move forward we need to step up, stop taking plan B, control ourselves, and flee sexual immorality. Not only that, as Christians we say NO TO ABORTIONS! And Plan B is included in this.

So if you know someone who has children or is preparing for motherhood… why don’t you be kind? Buy some pampers, order some things on Amazon for them… Help them get formula.. Be kind and show the love of God because He is watching you… and if you please King, He will reward you.

Father I pray,

That we as Christians will become bold. I pray that we will not get abortions and we will stop Plan B… I pray that we don’t abuse our children and according to Malachi 3: 17-18 NLT we love our children ..I pray there is a difference and the people may see that we serve Jehovah. Amen

Love Mixed Faith,
