Learning How To Eat Healthy!

Daniel 1:12-14 New International Version (NIV)

12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.New International Version (NIV)

To Be Honest

I love pumpkin pie ! I love candy ! I love burgers ! I really do! I even like to drink power aide, but lately I have been dealing with this issue of McDonald’s.

While I was eating I felt the after effect of the McDonalds and a few days later I believe that the Holy Spirit was convicting me that I can not continue to eat like this.

The Bible says ,

Romans 12:1 New International Version (NIV)

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.New International Version (NIV)

When we eat bad things it affects us and can even hinder our worship to God ! You get lazy and sluggish. To Lazy to run around the church because of obesity. God does not want you walking around here with diabetes, but if you continue to eat fast food its going to happen !

Me Personally

I know that God has told me I need to get my eating right and stop eating so much chips ! But I also know that The Bible says Little by Little, so I have decided more water intake less candy. More water no Doritos. More Water less sprite. Raisins over cheap candy.

***

Now do not get me wrong, you can enjoy food ! But its not good to be a glutton ! You lose blessings over meals ! Look at Jacob and Esau… So Today put a knife to your throat.

Proverbs 23:1-2 New International Version (NIV)

Saying 7

23 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
    note well what[a] is before you,
and put a knife to your throat
    if you are given to gluttony.

If you struggle with emotional eating, pray about it ! Because God will see you through it !

How Does This Affect Your Beauty

Well, I don’t know about you but if I drink to much pop my skin breaks out. Or if I eat to much salt my legs swell, so ya girl don’t be feeling to cute around those times. But once I get back right of eating healthy my skin clears up and my legs go back down to normal.

Ahhh,

I remember those days where I used eat like four Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell, but now I see I sick I used to feel eating that food.

When I eat healthy and eat lemons, raisins, and drink water I feel so much better! Its like a heavenly natural remedy!

You Should Try It

Why don’t you take a break from eating so much Doritos and try some celery ! It will change your mood and make you feel better, and make sure you add P.R.A.Y.E.R in the midst . Amen? Amen.

Daily Bread Devotions : Honor

The king and the princes liked this. The king did what Memucan proposed. He sent bulletins to every part of the kingdom, to each province in its own script, to each people in their own language: “Every man is master of his own house; whatever he says, goes.”

Why We Should Be Grateful Of Our Blessings

I’ve been around alot of women with bad marriages and I have come to the conclusion… stop talking about your husband. Sometimes people can be so ungrateful of their circumstances. The truth is there was a Vashti before a Esther… There was a Michal before a Bathsheba. So be grateful.

****

Your husband or spouse may be a prophet … so why would you make fun of them for hearing God ? Your husband may be a deacon or usher… why would you mock him for being corny ? Dont allow the devil to trick you that the world has something better in a rapper or vixen because that’s not true. Be happy with what God gave you because life is hard when you’re alone.

A hearty wife invigorates her husband, but a frigid woman is cancer in the bones. The thinking of principled people makes for justice; the plots of degenerates corrupt. The words of the wicked kill; the speech of the upright saves. Wicked people fall to pieces—there’s nothing to them; the homes of good people hold together. A person who talks sense is honored; airheads are held in contempt. Better to be ordinary and work for a living than act important and starve in the process. Good people are good to their animals; the “good-hearted” bad people kick and abuse them. The one who stays on the job has food on the table; the witless chase whims and fancies. What the wicked construct finally falls into ruin, while the roots of the righteous give life, and more life. Rash language cuts and maims, but there is healing in the words of the wise. Evil scheming distorts the schemer; peace-planning brings joy to the planner. No evil can overwhelm a good person, but the wicked have their hands full of it. A lazy life is an empty life, but “early to rise” gets the job done. Good men and women travel right into life; sin’s detours take you straight to hell.

God loved Gomer….

God Gave Me The Revelation That He Loved Gomer

Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.
Proverbs 20:30 GNT
https://bible.com/bible/68/pro.20.30.GNT

I left God to go back to stripping and prostition …. I started dating drug dealers … and I stopped going to church. And I know for a fact that I feel like Gomer .

What Do You Do …

What do you do when you used to have the pretty clothes and good career and you left God… what do you do when people are watching you destroyed and no one wants you… wants to help you and make fun of you… what do you do when the one you said you hated (God) is who you need the most… what do you do when… when you’ve gone so low in bondage that you hit rock bottom and now you cant hide it anymore… people can see that your worthless …. you wait for the day… that God redeems you. I love Hosea .. because I am Gomer.

I look at this picture and I see myself. Completely and utterly destroyed…. and I wonder how can a man love someone that much ? How is it possible .. after all that Gomer has done and he took her as is.

Before I lost everything I used to pride myself and having three jobs, going to school, living in a two bedroom apartment (that was gated)… needing no one for anything… And I knew that if a man wanted me he had to have money… Then I left God and found myself homeless and abused…. like Gomer… I remember the times where I lost my mind because of the abusive relationships I endured … knowing that God had a Hosea for me. It takes rock bottom… it took going to the valley for me to see that I would rather have God than what the world has to offer … it took me to be left with nothing to be healed.

It Makes Me Sad

When I look at young girls who think prostitution and stripping is the way to go… that being a vixen or some Instagram model is the way to go …. because I know the truth .. smh

I anxiously await my Hosea…

And I really pray that women wake up and see that stripping…. prostitution… and dating gang members is not the way to go.

What I Learned From Ruth

May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord , the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Ruth 2:12 NIV
https://ruth.bible/ruth-2-12

Coming Back To God

I am someone who left God , went back to sin …. got destroyed … and then came back to God… And this is what I learned from Ruth.

It Doesn’t Matter

When I was sin I used to date drug dealers and men who were in gangs. Actually I left God and yet He was still calling me … telling me to return unto Him. And I did… but I had to deal with the natural consequences of my sin.

When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet! “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.” “The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
Ruth 3:7‭-‬11 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rut.3.7-11.NIV

Marriage Is Beautiful

I guess when it comes to marriage I’m kind of like the Apostle Paul. I never wanted to be married because I was always able to take care of myself. I never needed anyone and I was kind of prideful about it… Until I lost everything … I never knew how mean people can be when your heart is broken because I always had money… I used money to fill voids of pain and accept my hurt when it was gone…

But How Does This Relate To Ruth

Ruth lost her husband and had to leave her family.. (Ruth 1:16-17) she had to leave something that was dead and trust God through poverty, through work, and a new found faith. What is dead in your life ? I know for me my old life in California , my wealth , and my dreams are dead… and I have left my family like Ruth … and somehow I have to faith it and gather the strength like Ruth to move forward ..

I love Ruth’s character … because let me tell you dating thugs and drug dealers are not it honey .. trust me I know from experience.

Boaz was a older man I believe and that’s beautiful. Because of Ruth I have lost the desire for a worldly man. A man that fears God, loves the Bible, and is stable is a good man. Not these stupid rappers and drug dealers… that’s a fantasy that I dont want.

A Woman

I have learned like Gomer … you can leave God and be with men that buy you things but the moment … you hold your ground and your foundations of God kick in they are going to leave you. A man that loves God is a man for me. Christian men (real Christian men not pretenders) are the men that women should desire…. who wants a thug when you can have God ?

After the Sin

You’re left with a broken heart…. but if you work and trust God like Ruth HE (Psalm 24) will redeem you.. God I thank you in advance …

Today

Think about your dating choices as a Christian because they matter. Dont pursue thugs, drug dealers , rappers, and men who ONLY talk about money.

Focus on God… if God sends you a prophet as a husband love him…dont make fun of him for loving God…. if He sends a witness as your husband love him… because trust me life of the other side of recovery isn’t easy. Think before you act in your relationships and ask for wisdom.

Amen ? Amen.

By His Grace ❤

Jesus Love For You As A Broken Woman

So Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, and they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
Genesis 29:20 CSB

The Idol of Marriage

I think marriage (when it’s God ordained) is a beautiful thing. However, I think that currently marriage is a idol. Everyone talks about marriage and get married but they dont discuss the character that goes with marriage.. and how to have a true love in Christ Jesus. With that being said I want to talk about how the church has turned a blind eye to sexual abuse in families … Since everyone wants to talk about money let’s talk about the real issue …. Ignorance and stupidity.

How can someone tell someone to be married when their life is completely out of order ? You dont tell them to wait on God … You dont teach them celibacy during healing and you dont teach them faith in God alone.

I’ve seen something terrible. I’m a woman who God has delivered from sexual abuse and it has come from my family. I’ve had to endure old men commenting on my body around women in my family and all they did was laugh … mind you I was in middle school. I was raped as a child , molested, made fun of for incest by my mother , and then someone who has known me since I was a child tried something sexual with me…. The irony is that I told a minister in a church and she turned against me . Yet they all say the same thing…. “God is going to send your husband.”

Please…. 🙄

What happens when you want to wait to be married ? Why doesn’t the church talk about the necessary steps that it takes for a woman to be healed from sexual abuse so she is not disgusted by her husband ? Where are those things? And why do people in the church think it’s ok to mend relationships that involved sexual abuse ? Have we really gotten that stupid? Are we really that far from God that we think it’s ok for a rape victim and a sexual abuser to mend it ? And why do people use God’s name on curses (Exodus 20 MSG)? What does the bible say ?

But when the local prince, Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, saw Dinah, he seized her and raped her. But then he fell in love with her, and he tried to win her affection with tender words. Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the field as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious that their sister had been raped. Shechem had done a disgraceful thing against Jacob’s family, something that should never be done. Hamor tried to speak with Jacob and his sons. “My son Shechem is truly in love with your daughter,” he said. “Please let him marry her. In fact, let’s arrange other marriages, too. You give us your daughters for our sons, and we will give you our daughters for your sons. “These men are our friends,” they said. “Let’s invite them to live here among us and trade freely. Look, the land is large enough to hold them. We can take their daughters as wives and let them marry ours. So all the men in the town council agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every male in the town was circumcised. But three days later, when their wounds were still sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s full brothers, took their swords and entered the town without opposition. Then they slaughtered every male there, including Hamor and his son Shechem. They killed them with their swords, then took Dinah from Shechem’s house and returned to their camp. Meanwhile, the rest of Jacob’s sons arrived. Finding the men slaughtered, they plundered the town because their sister had been defiled there. Afterward Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have ruined me! You’ve made me stink among all the people of this land—among all the Canaanites and Perizzites. We are so few that they will join forces and crush us. I will be ruined, and my entire household will be wiped out!” “But why should we let him treat our sister like a prostitute?” they retorted angrily.
Genesis 34:2‭-‬3‭, ‬7‭-‬9‭, ‬21‭, ‬24‭-‬27‭, ‬30‭-‬31 NLT

If You Need Time To Heal Then Heal

Dont let people make you feel like you have to be married when you have trauma from sexual abuse. Take that time to talk to God and be healed. Why should we rush to get married? So we can have more abusive and toxic marriages ? The problem with marriages today is that you put your perverted marriage before God then pray and ask him to fix it and He’s NOT ! Then have the nerve to turn around and lay hands on somebody like God dont see what’s going on in your house 🤔.

The Bible Says

People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart. Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty. The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked; he will bring disaster on them. Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need. The person who strays from common sense will end up in the company of the dead.
Proverbs 21:2‭, ‬5‭-‬5‭, ‬12‭-‬13‭, ‬16 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.21.2-16.NLT

You may think you’re right by telling people to mend these disgusting situations but you’ll pay for it. Why should a woman who has been sexually abused be hasty about marriage? Even Esther had to go through a twelve months process. And JACOB had to work SEVEN YEARS FOR RACHEL ! If you ignore sexual abuse God is going to ignore you ! He is not going to hear your prayers !

Stop making excuses from sexual abusers because God is going to expose it in the church!

Also

Some of you (especially women) are married to perverts and monsters and you know what’s going on !

God is going to destroy you. You’re disgusting. You know your spouse is a abuser and because you’re to much of coward you wont leave and trust God…. but we’ll see how that goes for you. 7 years.
