This post is for the singles because The Lord put on my heart on how this is a special season of your life. A time where you can fully focus on Him without distractions. However, the distractions still come. For the past year, since I received a detailed prophecy about my husband, it has truly been a time of testing relationship wise, especially since prophetically I know about my future husband as far as how he looks and personality. Lately, my mind has been consumed with thoughts, "when and where will I meet him?" "Will he understand my health background of having a mental illness?" and so much more. Amidst my thoughts, The Lord reminded of me of the book by Dr. Lindsay Marsh Warren called, The Best Sex of My Life Confessions of a Sexual Purity Revolution, founder of the Worth the Wait Revolution. In the book, she talked about resting in God and that real relationships doesn't require stalking social media networks and how your time is precious. It was a wake up call for me as God brought that to my remembrance because I was doing that and daydreaming which was doing me more harm than good. God showed me while going through this that He needed my maturity and trust in Him. If you been going through the same thing as me, I know it's really tough! I'm reminded of this scripture 1 Corinthians 7:34 New Living Translation which states: "His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit, But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband." When I went to the event the woman of God prayed for my passion for ministry and told me why the enemy fights so hard in my singleness. This scripture helped me to see that I truly can be devoted to the Lord and be holy in body and in spirit. I want to encourage you that if there are any strongholds in your life such as fornication (having sex outside of marriage), lust and perversion, pornography, or any unclean spirit in your life, then it is time for deliverance and healing to go forth in your life! I want to encourage you to walk in purity and to please God no matter how long you and your significant other been together or even have children; you can always repent and do things God's way. God is with you! The Holy Spirit can help you overcome all your sins. Don't think it's too late or God doesn't want to deal with me anymore! God wants every part of you and He loves you with a love that is unmatched.
As you can see lately, I've been feeling distracted and discouraged. The Lord really has been dealing with me in getting my focus on Him. He told me to write this blogpost and in the midst of it to encourage you and myself. He wanted me to question you and ask, what do you spend most of your time thinking about? Is that very thing you thinking about distracting you from focusing on God? Is it relationships, is it your job? Is it school? Is it family? This past weekend, I went to an 911 emergency prayer meeting and it felt great to lay at the altar and just cry out to Jesus! I was burdened with school, thoughts of unsaved loved ones and relationships. I felt the spirit of brokenness even the more last week and felt heaviness. My mind was on family, school, relationships and I felt like it was less being focused on God even though I was praying, and worshiping God; my spirit still felt empty. But when I left the event, I felt the fullness of Jesus again. The Lord began to encourage me and also sent prophets to encourage me as well. The Lord led me to share with you, as He shared with me, is do not compromise your standards for anyone. Yes, that person may be fiiinnnneee, maybe close to the description of what God spoke your husband or wife to be...but check to see if they have the fruit to line up with what God says in His word. Know your value and worth is in Christ. Know that no matter how many likes you get on your pics on your social media, no matter how many direct messages (DM's) you get from guys or girls, no matter how much you get hit on or don't get hit on...your worth and value doesn't come from that and it doesn't determine how valuable and precious you really are. You are precious, valued and loved by Christ. That's all that really matters!
God wants you know that His timing is perfect and that no matter how many mistakes you make you still have time to get right with Him. Surrender your life to Christ and give him your whole heart today! I am praying for you, keep me in your prayers!
Please if you are in the Metro Detroit Area, join me for this wonderful event THIS Saturday, July 30th, 2016! I will be praying for women in ministry! Hope to see you there!
Love,
Sheree B
