Embracing Your Season of Singleness as a Woman

-
Every young single woman out there, I want you to have your identity in Christ. I desire for you to be healed and made whole in Christ, embrace a season of singleness, walk with the Lord, let the Lord really do in you all He desires to do in you before you step into all He has for you. 

It’s an advantage as a single person to begin working on your heart issues before you step into a committed relationship and then marriage. The more healed and whole your heart is when you meet that special someone, the healthier your relationship will be. No one attains perfection and I’m not encouraging you to stay single until you feel as though everything is “fixed” so to speak BUT anything you can work on in wounded areas of your heart with the Lord before marriage is a significant advantage.

God will place you in a position to work on yourself, how you respond is up to you of course! If you don’t deal with your stuff it will impact every relationship around you and then when the day comes that you have children, whatever you don’t deal with, your children will have to.

No one can come in and fix in you what only God can fix in you. If we place that burden on someone else then we are only setting them up for failure in our eyes. Take the time while you have the time. Instead of being on a man hunt for the perfect husband, waiting and watching and wondering who it may be, work on you and become the most amazing wife your future husband may need. Allow God to move in your heart, solidify your identity in Christ and be as prepared as you possibily can be before marriage.

Ask God to show you you the areas He wants you to work on and allow Him to come in to those areas with healing. This process is not easy. I encourage you to stick out this season of singleness with the Lord. You will be thankful when you get to the other side with a healed and whole heart, not perfect, but made whole in Christ. There is freedom in emotional healing and wholeness.

Be willing to remain alone rather than settle for someone that will hinder both your walk with the Lord and your future destiny. If God is calling you to a place of being alone He is wanting to show you some things He is wanting you to work on. Don’t become impatient in trusting God to bring your life partner to you when the timing is right for BOTH of you. If you settle or compromise in a relationship God never intended you to be in, you will miss the person God was preparing for you. Sometimes a season of singleness may linger longer than you anticipated because the Lord is working on that special someone that you are waiting on. You’re waiting season may not be about you but about the very one the Lord has for you.

I want to leave you with two scriptures to pray to the Lord in this season of singleness. 

The first one is a prayer taken out of Ephesian 3. 

“Dear Lord I ask that You strengthen and energize me by the Holy Spirit in my inner being, that You dwell in my heart, my inner most being, that I am deeply rooted and securely grounded in Your love, that I am fully capable of comprehending how wide, how long, how high, how deep and how full Your love is and that I come to know Your love, that I am filled up in all the fullness of Your love and walk consistently in Your presence in my life. In Jesus Name Amen.”

The second one is a prayer taken out of Psalm 51.

“Lord I know you desire truth from my innermost depths, from my hidden thoughts, I ask you to purify me, to wash me clean in my heart and my thoughts. Create in my a pure heart, God. Renew my spirit daily, cause me to be steadfast in all my ways. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing and obedient spirit that will sustain and strengthen me. In Jesus Name Amen.”

JUNE

-
For some reason God has highlighted different months to me in different years. Back in 2012 God spoke to me in January that the month of May would be significant and that was the only detail He released until May was upon us and the month was most definitely significant. I have seen God be faithful over and over again as He has breathed a word on a particular month and He is doing that with June. God is desiring to move in a might way but the truth is He needs our cooperation. This is really one of the main points of prophetic words going forth so that the people who have ears to hear can begin to prepare for what is ahead of them and pull on the promise of the prophetic to get them through difficult moments reminding themselves of the promises of God to get them through. I know God is faithful, I know He is reliable to perform His word, almost obligated to do so. I will hold on to those promises I know are from the throne of God whether spoken directly to me by God or through a yi...

What is a Good Marriage?

What's a good marriage? How would you define it in your mind? Is it a spouse that makes you "happy." What is making you happy? Is it meeting your every desire and whim? Is that a good spouse? I beg to differ. I believe a good spouse is one that, yes, knows your desires, knows your likes, knows your wants and from time to time randomly surprises you with such. I see (mostly wives) post that they have the "best" husband in the WHOLE world. Really?? That's a pretty big role to fill and yet an expectation that especially young brides place on their husbands. This statement is usually made after their husband has "made them happy" about something. I don't believe there is any "best in the whole world" husband out there. I believe he or she is the best for YOU even in the most when he or she is not giving into your tantrums and/or hissy fits. A good spouse challenges us in our weak areas. A good spouse is willing to point out to us what...

God’s Righteousness vs. Our Inability

-

Jesus covers us BUT He doesn’t excuse us. We have all sinned, yes, we have all fallen short, yes. (Romans 3:23) We’ve seen the pictures of Jesus being the bridge connecting our inability to God’s righteousness making us the righteousness of God. Jesus covered us so we CAN become the righteousness of God by remaining IN HIM. (2 Cor. 5:19) Does Jesus covering us say go do what you want, be what you want with no regard as long as you have accepted Jesus into your heart you’re good, He has you covered? If the answer is yes then we’re saying repentance, surrender and obedience aren’t required when we know biblically they are.  Philippians 2:12 tells us it’s important to continue in obedience AND to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. And, of course there’s Romans 6:15 that asks a question and answers it for us...If God’s grace covers us can we continue in sin and then answers with a certainly not. My question is if righteousness covers all then why not? What is the true stam...
