SINGLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS FOR YOU!
Posted : 28 Nov, 2012 04:15 PM
Ladies and gentleman whenever you see your opposite sex let your first impression be the truth that they are an asset of God.
If they are an asset of God and you really fear and love God, then how you feel,think,react or interact will be Godly.
If as a gentleman you see ladies exposing seductive parts of their body and you begin to feel uncomfortable,the Godly alarm in you must sound out the covenant with your eyes and with God and you also bear in mind who or what they are capable of doing to bring your downfall.
There are some people who fear to get close to the opposite sex far more to be friends with them all because they are afraid they will fall into the peril of lust.The truth is if you have the spirit of lust in you,the enemy will always create a magnetic force to attract those magnetic materials wherever you find yourself.
Therefore instead of having such a mindset ask God to take away that spirit of lust in you because the devil will always come and if he still find that lustful feeling in you he will keep striking that nail till it goes deep into you to destroy you.The truth is it is not the issue of how lustful someone portrays themselves to you but your ability to have allowed God to deal with what is in you.
If God has dealt with that lust in you the enemy will try but will never succeed because he comes and finds it no more in you.The issue is many are running away from the trouble in them but are not fighting it away.You can run but you cannot hide until you hide yourself in life.
If you chase your opposite sex for pleasure you are chasing Hell.If you chase God and His pleasure ,He will allow everything to chase you.For when you are chasing God you are delighting yourself in Him and His kingdom and he shall grant you your delightful Godly desires.Your desires are never in the best position of goodness when they are not in connection to the delight-fulness of God.
The reason for most children of God falling in the trap of the enemy is that they follow their desires at the genesis of finding someone whom they see as Godly,as fine,as attractive as they are meanwhile they are not fully grounded in doing what God wants them to do.
If you really believe that God has someone special for you, and you put all your trust in Him,His grace will sustain you no matter how long it takes and you will keep living a chaste life so that you don't demoralize yourself as well as your belief in God till you get to His appointed time for His chosen one for you.
Don't be deceived by thinking the if you don't catch them young you won't get them again,or Jesus is coming soon so you have to get married quick.God himself will send you the Green-light as you become intimate with Him and he will guide you to meet *Mrs Right or Missing Rib*
Instead of chasing after Mr or Mrs Right,Chase after God because He knows you,as a man and your missing rib more than you think you know yourself.
"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more".
I believe often time we fumble and fall on our walk and even relationship wit fellow human and opposite sex to us because we are low in content and knowledge of the grace of God and we are short of ideals. When you see a man, your mind must not travel around seeking things of benefit that person can be to you...or how you can use the person to gratify some sensibilities of yous..Rather when you meet people, have an appraisal of Christ in them, only then will you be able to do right and make kind the good gesture of Christ.
Lastly, consider the same 2Cor 5:16 albeit in 4 more different translations...It will help you when next you meet a believer or even unbeliever and whatever the sex they are....
2Cor 5:16 New International Version (�1984)
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
2Cor 5:16 New Living Translation (�2007)
So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!
2Cor 5:16 English Standard Version (�2001)
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.
2Cor 5:16 New American Standard Bible (�1995)
Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
For speaking truth in a simple manner. I too prefer to do this these days just speak truth.
As a man I have been on the journey of discovery of Gods will for me concerning a woman in my life. It has been years seeking a woman who i could walk together with side by side. Even in my marriage I had deep hope for this.
God knew I needed to be pruned first before I could find the desire of genuine intimacy with a woman. You see our faltering in relationship and sining comes from our deep need for connection of heart.
As we find security in our connection with God we learn to be vaulnerable. This vaulneribility is what leads to a genuine relationship of love and intimacy.
Hiding like in the beginning in sex or anyother imposter only leads to death like in the beginning. As God asked Adam and Eve where are you? Meaning why are you hiding....
We too should be looking for honest examples of oneanother as we wait for Gods best for us.
Praise God after many years I have found my partner who I find great intimacy emotionally and spiritually and after we are married this May physical intimacy.
May God lead each and everyone of us as we continue on our journeys of discovery of self before God and as others reveal their own hearts to us. That we can truly express unconditional love.
Thank you. I stand for what is right, even if it means standing alone. I've been hated by many for speaking the truth but I'll stand still for God's truth.
During my freshman year in college, I made the mistake of chasing a man. My first serious boyfriend broke my heart when he started to shun me and even flaunt other girls in front of me. For years, I chased him in mind and body. I was consumed with making him mine, until I realized how pitiful and desperate I had become. I was worth more than that,� more than chasing after someone who was running away from me. That�s the funny thing about the chase. If you are running after someone, that means they are running away from you. As I matured, I learned to stop chasing people and to start chasing God. Then wonderful happened, to make it short "I am engaged now"
Good to hear you are happily married.
Single out there! God waits for you and longs to give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) So chase Him. If it is God�s Will, you will find your spouse and so much more.
IamGodsPrincess, you said something like this "That�s the funny thing about the chase. If you are running after someone, that means they are running away from you"
One further thing I see is while you chase after someone, which means the person is running away from you, you are also running away from someone too while yo keep the chase, most like the person meant for you!
IamGodsPrincess, thanks and I must say its a pleasure. However, believe me when I come to the Chat Forum, I am always looking out for thread and post, cos I know something inspirational is coming forth in power and grace. Keep the good works up.
Hebrews 13: 9 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) - "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein." - When our hearts are bounded by this grace. Only them we shall cease from "rat race".
@IamGods Princess, I mean always looking out for your post and threads. But really on a good basis, here is like fellowship for me. I found that chances of getting with good and godly people is improved upon when you are with people calling upon the lord in truth.
Its a honor reading your threads. I look forward to it.
WOW! I have one follower. (Jump in) kidding aside I�m glad to meet people like you. It�s my joy to join or have fellowship with other believers� coz in that way we might strengthen each other. :glow:
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. - Hebrews 10:24-25
