Devotional : Lord Teach Me To Be Humble In Prayer

God Always Answers My Prayers

…. but I didnt say it’s always a response I wanted. There are some (MANY) times that God does tell me no and that I have to wait or sometimes Be Still.

But I had to learn. When I pray I dont go to God demanding , I go in humility in repentance . When you spend time today check your heart, your attitude, and you posture . God doesn’t have to do anything for you . God wants a repentant heart. If you need God to move get into repentance and humility THEN He will move (Psalm 51).

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness. I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth. My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.

I Am Going To Discuss The Consequences of Adultery & Prostitution

We know the story of Hosea & Gomer. A prostitute and a unfaithful woman who left her husband and children for adultery (Hosea 1 – 3). When God finally brought her back and redeemed her she was in bondage , in debt, and destroyed. But By His Grace , her husband (Hosea ) bought her back.

We live in a time with disgusting music running around from female rappers and r&b singers that make it seem like it’s ok to be a whore. But they’re not telling you about the sexual transmitted diseases you can catch, the dosmetic violence you endure , or the homelessness that you encounter from prostitution or even the insanity that comes after heartache . This disgusting music envokes a psychological fantasy…. that ultimately leaves you with nothing…

He Who Is Without Sin Throw The First Stone

But the truth is , God has mercy on who HE pleases and compassion on who HE chooses.

Is that grounds for complaining that God is unfair? Not so fast, please. God told Moses, “ I’m in charge of mercy. I’m in charge of compassion.” Compassion doesn’t originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat, but in God’s mercy. The same point was made when God said to Pharaoh, “I picked you as a bit player in this drama of my salvation power.” All we’re saying is that God has the first word, initiating the action in which we play our part for good or ill. Are you going to object, “So how can God blame us for anything since he’s in charge of everything? If the big decisions are already made, what say do we have in it?” Who in the world do you think you are to second-guess God? Do you for one moment suppose any of us knows enough to call God into question? Clay doesn’t talk back to the fingers that mold it, saying, “Why did you shape me like this?” Isn’t it obvious that a potter has a perfect right to shape one lump of clay into a vase for holding flowers and another into a pot for cooking beans? If God needs one style of pottery especially designed to show his angry displeasure and another style carefully crafted to show his glorious goodness, isn’t that all right? Either or both happens to Jews, but it also happens to the other people. Hosea put it well: I’ll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I’ll call the unloved and make them beloved. In the place where they yelled out, “You’re nobody!” they’re calling you “God’s living children.” Isaiah maintained this same emphasis: If each grain of sand on the seashore were numbered and the sum labeled “chosen of God,” They’d be numbers still, not names; salvation comes by personal selection. God doesn’t count us; he calls us by name. Arithmetic is not his focus. Isaiah had looked ahead and spoken the truth: If our powerful God had not provided us a legacy of living children, We would have ended up like ghost towns, like Sodom and Gomorrah. How can we sum this up? All those people who didn’t seem interested in what God was doing actually embraced what God was doing as he straightened out their lives. And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing, missed it. How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their “God projects” that they didn’t notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling. Isaiah (again!) gives us the metaphor for pulling this together: Careful! I’ve put a huge stone on the road to Mount Zion, a stone you can’t get around. But the stone is me! If you’re looking for me, you’ll find me on the way, not in the way.

Being promiscuous with your body has natural consequences such as

  • Insanity
  • Perversion
  • Abuse
  • Domestic Violence
  • Incurable STD’s
  • Homelessness & Poverty
  • Debt

Dont let this world trick you to believe you can be “free” to love who you want and do whatever you want in regards to sexual immorality… God will give you over to a debased mind and you will suffer the penalty you deserve …

What Does This Have To Do With Rahab ?

Gomer had to be destroyed before she came to God & Rahab had to be mistreated…. she was a moral leper WHEN she found God… and even Mary Madalagne had to be healed from insanity when she came to Jesus… When you go to Jesus STAY there and dont let the devil trick you with music and bad company.

******

And when you get married attention getting when you go to work , school , or even church from other men shouldn’t be your primary focus….. It shouldn’t even be a thought ! Why would you boast about other men looking at you when you already have a husband? Who cares! focus on God and your family! Be focused on God, the husband , and family HE gave you…. because it’s terrible out here.

And dont think you can get away scotch free from your adultery … David & Bathsheba had to pay for it… You ain’t David so what do you think is going to happen to you ?

… But anyways… Remember these verses the next time you want to be promiscuous, have a adulterous friend, or want to cheat on your spouse for no apparent reason.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord , and that person is guilty, then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him, and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught— if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself— then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance. ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord . And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse. But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”— and may this water that causes the curse go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.” ‘ Then the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.” When he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and behaved unfaithfully toward her husband, that the water that brings a curse will enter her and become bitter, and her belly will swell, her thigh will rot, and the woman will become a curse among her people.

*****

“But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality. “Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve. To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots. They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star! “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.
Revelation 2:20‭-‬23‭, ‬26‭-‬29 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/rev.2.20-29.NLT

…. Basically , dont let this music fool you. Hell is real and so are sexually transmitted diseases… being a Christian doesn’t exempt you from natural consequences . Repent.

When God Tells You “You Are To Strong.”

New International Version
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers – 1 Peter 3:7

My Background

I am a child abuse survivor and I have mastered that art of being abused at home, going to school, and going to work like nothing was wrong with me. I remember there was a time when I was in high school that I walked to work after a snow storm because no one would help me get there.

After high school I immediately went to the military (The United States Marine Corps). I got through Marine bootcamp with a pinched nerve in my spine, a fractured foot, swollen legs, and DAYS without sleep.

When I was in the Marine Corps I went through a hard trial that I had to lose 27 pounds in a  week and half.. and I did it. I have learned to be strong. I had no choice. I remember when God began to deal with me about my life…

He told me , “When women abuse their daughters they form a ungodly strength that forms into masculinity .”

and this is true… I know it for myself. God had to deliver me from homosexuality and being masculine…. Because I was to strong..

As I Trust God Prayerfully…

I kept asking God… “Why.. Why are you so bent on destroying me? Why do you hate me ? What is it that you want ?”

God told me… I don’t hate you … You’re just to strong.

Being Feminine is Biblical

The Passion Translation tells us this… But what does being feminine mean? You have to bear children, you have to honor your husbands, and you pray with adoration….

But as my life continues I see that God is LITERALLY breaking me down… to become a woman again…

A woman who wears make-up and high heels who actually loves her children… and her husband… a proverbs 31 woman.

Again, this isn’t easy for me.. Because I am so used to doing everything by myself.. with NO help.. but I guess that was for a season…

As A Woman

If you are going through a hard time.. ask God.. “What do you need me to learn in this season?”

For me… it’s how to be a woman again.. but what is it for you? When we shift our perspective , it can give you the faith and prayer position to get through your trials.

Life is tough … but thank God for Jesus.

Devotional : My Bible

Joshua 1:8-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

In our day to day lives we have to be determined to hold on to what we have … don’t be paranoid and don’t live in fear but know that God is with you. Care more for other people, take your Bible with you to work you’re going to need it. Read The Bible and pray for those who have cancer. Cherish every moment God gives you because life is so short. Let Him heal you from every pain and know that He really does care about you.

Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.

Amen …

But God ❤

Psalm 60:9-12 CSB

Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 God, haven’t you rejected us?
God, you do not march out with our armies.
11 Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.
12 With God we will perform valiantly;
he will trample our foes.

The Truth

We can lose the battle waiting on someone else. There are many ups and downs in this Christian walk… with that being said you have to surrender your will to God for a deliverance. I love when The Bible says “but do not let me fall into human hands (2 Samuel 24:14).” Your deliverance and your breakthrough is in God alone. God alone parted the Red Sea for the children of Israel and God alone was resurrected when they hung my Savior Jesus on the cross (Matthew 26 & 27). This thing is a God only YOU can do it thing. Focus on Exodus 14:14 and watch God move.

Exodus 14:14 New Living Translation (NLT)

14 The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”

Have A Good Night…
