Winning The Battle of Life - Wisdom and Discretion

There are 192 Scriptures on Wisdom in the Holy Bible and many examples, from Solomon who was considered the wisest man who ever lived to Queen Esther who was considered to be a woman with wisdom and discretion. She was wise in the way she laid out her plan to approach her husband with the news that her Jewish race was at risk of being annihilated. She fasted and prayed for 3 days before going before Him, and she was successful and prevented her entire nation from being destroyed! Proverbs 2:12 (NLT) states that , " Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose speech is corrupt." Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment. How do you get wisdom? First you ask God for it. He promises not to withhold wisdom from anyone who wants it. You will find that understanding is tied to wisdom. So next, seek to understand before making major decisions or judgments or talking about something. Esther sought to under...

Winning The Battle: What is True Deliverance

"The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles." Psalm 34:17 Deliverance is the act of delivering, a state of being delivered. It comes from the basic word deliver, it is to be set free, to be saved from something objectionable, to give up, to hand over. God promises us that he will deliver us from the things that bind us. Jesus said he came to set the captive free. Are you trapped in a situation? Jesus said in his word he came to set you free. You may ask, deliverance from what? I think if you just sit and think about it, you'll know in your heart what you need to be delivered from or what you have been delivered from. The extend of deliverance is vast across the human conditions of this world. It can be from eating too much to being delivered from child slavery or prostitution. True deliverance is achieving freedom from that which binds you and keep you from being all that is possible for you to be. You can be set free...

Winning the Battle of Life: A Single Woman and Sexuality

Scripture: Proverbs 5:16 NLT “Why spill the water of your springs in public, having sex with just anyone?” Even though this advice in scripture is a father’s instruction to his son, I think we as women can take this as our Heavenly Father’s instruction to us. The father is advising his son against having sex with just anyone! He tells him to run from an immoral woman. His final advice is for his son’s heart to be captivated by his wife only. You as a woman (single or married) must also run far away from immoral men, because if you do not, you will lose your honor and hand over to merciless people everything you have achieved in life. I don’t know one Christian woman after finally meeting the one who truly loves her and then marries who did not regret that she had sex with other men before him. Because she finally realized that her wedding night bed cuts the covenant with her husband in blood, just as Christ’s blood cuts a covenant for us with God. I have compared single wom...
