 Thinking about getting a divorce? Read this first!
Are you walking in obedience to God? Read This!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31)
Now listen to me, sons, and never forget what I am saying. Keep away from such a woman! Don't even go near her door! If you do, others will gain the respect that you once had, and you will die young at the hands of merciless men. Yes, strangers will take all your wealth, and what you have worked for will belong to someone else. You will lie groaning on your deathbed, your flesh and muscles being eaten away, and you will say, "Why would I never learn? Why would I never let anyone correct me? I wouldn't listen to my teachers; I paid no attention to them. And suddenly I found myself publicly disgraced.
Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone. Children that you have by other women will do you no good. Your children should grow up to help you, not strangers. So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the girl you married-pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. Son, why should you give your love to another woman? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife? The LORD sees everything you do. Wherever you go, he is watching. The sins of a wicked man are a trap. He gets caught in the net of his own sin. He dies because he has no self-control. His utter stupidity will send him to his grave.
(So many times I've been told, don't worry about it I'm saved, I'm a Christian and if I end up on my death bed and ask for forgiveness God will forgive my sins. But is this true? When God says, "For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." Hebrews 10:26
Once again why isn't the Pastor's etc., preaching and teaching these things in Church instead of condoning this sin?
Somebody should be talking shop to the shepherds of the Lords flock and soon before the whole lot ends up in hell because of negligent shepherds. Pastors read: Jeremiah 23:1
Proverbs 6:20-35
Son, do what your father tells you and never forget what your mother taught you. Keep their words with you always, locked in your heart. Their teaching will lead you when you travel, protect you at night, and advise you during the day. Their instructions are a shining light; their correction can teach you how to live.
It can keep you away from bad women, from the seductive words of other men's wives. Don't be tempted by their beauty; don't be trapped by their flirting eyes. A man can hire a prostitute for the price of a loaf of bread,
BUT ADULTERY WILL COST HIM ALL HE HAS.
Can you carry fire against your chest without burning your clothes? Can you walk on hot coals without burning your feet? It is just as dangerous to sleep with another man's wife. Whoever does it will suffer?
People don't despise a thief if he steals food when he is hungry, yet if he is caught he must pay back seven times more-he must give up everything he has. But a man who commits adultery doesn't have any sense. He is just destroying himself. He will be dishonored and beaten up; he will be permanently disgraced. A husband is never angrier than when he is jealous; his revenge knows no limits. He will not accept any payment; no amount of gifts will satisfy his anger.
(I know the vengeful anger, nothing pleased me, the more things were offered to me as a forgive me gift, was not accepted graciously. In fact it only made my anger grow. The weeds literally took over the garden of life I had been working so faithfully in. Then as I raged on in my anger, and wouldn't forgive I made God angry with me. Even though God was angry with me, I raged on, and then my props were knocked out from underneath me. Like so many other hurting people in this world, revenge is not the answer, Jesus Christ is.
I felt no one in the world loved me anymore, no one, I felt all the pity. I heard all the whisper and each time I felt more alone than I ever had.
When no one else could love me, Jesus did. I got where I listened intensely to hear His whispers of encouragement, the whispers telling me I was not alone. Whispers, whispering I love you over and over again, until it didn't matter much anymore who loved me or who didn't, all that matter to me was that Jesus did re time. And I knew it without a doubt.
Jesus is the one who wiped my tears and held me close as my heart broke into, eventually shattering into little pieces that I could no longer even see. It was Jesus, who picked me up, carried me, loved me, encouraged me and helped me through each phase of my brokenness because I had become so broken and sore one more time.
Jesus whispered words of encouragement when I could no longer speak, he held my legs steady when I couldn't take a single step on my own, he allowed me to scribble my name on a piece of paper as I learned how to write again. He whispered the answers to questions I was being asked, because I had forgotten the answers to so many things. I couldn't remember my birthday, what year I was born in, my medical history nothing. When my heart shattered it took my entire being with it, leaving me as an invalid in so many ways and this was pain in itself as I watched others tending to my every need.
The gentle words and the tenderness I needed. I had a friend who stuck with me when no one else would or could except a choice few, and this man called Jesus who is disrespected throughout our land and this saddens me; because without Jesus, you would of never been given this road-map for a new life and I would of never been able to walk, talk, think, write or work on this road-map given to me, to give to you.
So the glory of this site is not mine, it is not yours its the Lords. Each time I work on an article a little more is healed within me and I thank God for the walk I've taken and for learning to trust him with my life.
So even though my heart was shattered as I lay broken and sore, and the sorrow of my loses all piled up, they are being re-placed with a brand new kind of hope. A hope that only Jesus can understand now.
I thank Him, I praise Him and I love Him with all of my heart and soul for loving me so unconditionally and for all the good things taking place in this broken ole vessel now.
Friend the hardest thing there was for me to do was forgive, infact, I had such a hard time with this small issue that the Lord eventually placed a burden in my heart for this wild thing called woman, a woman who hid her evilness behind a fake smile.
The Holy Spirit bless His heart would coax me as I first tried to pray, and within time the Holy Spirit taught me to pray for my enemy in a caring way. I can now pray for her and her family as soon as the burden hits now.
What I'm trying to tell you is this: the more I pray for this wild thing called woman who deceived me from the first time I laid eyes on, I find one more thing concerning my life is being healed and the closer I become to the Lord as I know I'm in His perfect will.
How did I know my attack, this affair, was demonic and not from God? Because even though things turned up side down in my life, prayer, prayer, prayer was answered. Jesus took the mess and turned it around as soon as I asked Him to in a non-selfish way.
I'm not saying trusting in God is easy, but when you become so broken and sore and so full of sorrow, you have to turn to someone who truly cares and that is Jesus, the greatest physician of all.
The Immoral Woman
Once I was looking out the window of my house, and I saw many inexperienced young men, but noticed one foolish fellow in particular. He was walking along the street near the corner where a certain woman lived. He was passing near her house in the evening after it was dark. And then she met him: she was dressed like a prostitute and was making plans. She was a bold and shameless woman who always walked the streets or stood waiting at a corner, sometimes in the streets, sometimes in the marketplace. She threw her arms around the young man, kissed him, looked him straight in the eye, and said. "I made my offerings today and have the meat from the sacrifices. So I came out looking for you. I wanted to find you, and here you are! I've covered my bed with sheets of colored linen from Egypt. I've perfumed it with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come on! Let's make love all night long. We'll be happy in each other's arms. My husband isn't at home. He's on a long trip. He took plenty of money with him and won't be back for two weeks." So she tempted him with her charms, and he gave in to her smooth talk. Suddenly he was going with her like an ox on the way to be slaughtered, like a deer prancing into a trap where an arrow would pierce its heart. He was like bird going into a net--he did not know that his life was in danger.
Now then, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say. Do not let such a woman win your heart; don't go wandering after her. She has been the ruin of many men and caused the death of too many to count. If you go to her house, you are on the way to the world of the dead. It is a shortcut to death.
I'm sure many men can testify to this one.
Proverbs 2:16-19
If a situation can be prayed away its Satan and if it can't be prayed away its God and His correction.
If its God and His correction then the only way to turn things around is to call upon His name and get back to the word of God and then, serve Him diligently.
Affair's may seem wonderful to you, the excitement of keeping a secret, not getting caught, being able to be in control of your own decision making; but do you realize how costly this can all be?
