The Fragrance of a Wife

Declaration

Say these words in faith and agree with God's Word...!

Father, in the Name of Jesus I declare
I am saved and forgiven of all of my sins through the blood of  Jesus.
I am a child of God and I have the breath of God in me.
I agree with Your Word that I was made for the man and man will find me because he has Your breath in his nostrils.
I am anointed with Your spiritual and Heavenly fragrance.
I thank You for the institution and gift of marriage because You made me a wife.

This I declare in Jesus' Name...  Amen.

Proud and Single

When you know you look good that can lead to an attitude of vanity.  Some women are too attractive for their own good.  They trust in their good looks to make things happen for them.  In most cases, when they think they have it altogether the spirit of pride begins to move; even upon the bold and the beautiful, especially if they have not humbled themslevs before the Lord.  Pride is a very deceptive spirit that can prevent your life from progressing forward.  Unless you examine yourself for evidence of conceit it can go unnoticed for many years, hindering your life.

Good Women with Bad Men

Good women have great things going for them but for some reason many end up with the short end of the stick in relationships.  It is not surprising to find most of these good women are very faithful, loyal, strong in spirit and mightily used of the Lord.  They encourage others and pray their sisters through but they themselves seem to attrack men who appear to be good first, yet turn out to be just like the last man they were involved with.


Some women start out well but end badly because they have been played and then become players themselvs.  Some women are sneaking around with married men and even celebrate that he treats her better than his wife.  In some warped say they feel special when married men prefer them, being so desperate they cannot think clearly.

Let me tell you this:  The road to Good Marriage Destiny is actually a series of decisions.  If you sleep with him you could lose him and if you don't sleep with him you might lose him.  What will you do?  If you decide to sleep with someone else's husband you have chosen to release a curse on your own destiny; when and if you get married, your man will be the type to cheat on you.  Be careful, even if the curse does not fall on you, your daughters are watching and learn by your example.

Will a Man Ever Love or Care About Me?

Do past relationships and disappointments prevent you from believing that a man will ever love you or care about you?

SISTAHS, God wants to be your guide in finding a new place – a place where those close to you care for you and admire you.  He wants to demonstrate great love for you, by entrusting your well-being one to one of His sons.  But in order to take advantage of this joy, you have to trust in the Lord God Almighty that something new, something different, and something better will happen for you.

I invite you to trade your sorrows for the joy of the Lord.  Life is not always fair, and some things happen to us that are unjustifiable.  But that doesn’t have to stop you from having a future that is bright, beautiful and rewarding.

God wants to heal you and make you whole, so that you can enjoy life and love once again.

Learn to Love Again

Jill was standing in the mirror after trying on the fifth outfit from her closet so far.  She was going out on a date later that evening.  Her coworker had introduced her to a family friend – single, an engineer of some sort, and “nice guy.”

This was their first date but also her first date since the breakup of her previous 2-year relationship.  And she was nervous – really nervous.  In her mind she questioned if she was really ready to start dating again. She even tossed around the idea of calling and canceling.

Well, Jill is not the only one fearful of starting over again.  Breaking-up with someone is hurtful because of two reasons.  One, you have to leave someone you loved at one point. And two, you have to face the possibility that meeting someone else will take some time – maybe even months.

Then, when you meet someone, it may or may not work out.  It’s like a catch-22.  If you don’t date, you’ll definitely never meet anyone.  But if you do date, you may get your heart broken again and be in a worse emotional state than you are in right now.

So how do you start the process over again without getting hurt?

Make sure you’re ready to gamble with love – If the thought of your previous relationship still pains you, you may not be ready to start over again.  The heart has to heal from the disappointment of the past in order for you to hope in the future.

Take things one step at a time – I am not sure WHY we start to solidify things in relationships so quickly.  Maybe it’s because we as women want security in our relationships most of all.  We want to be in a relationship that will last.  But it’s important to enjoy yourself and make sure you are enjoying yourself each time you’re with the one you’re dating.  If all your questions have been answered and you know enough about the person to make a choice, then you can make that choice.  But until then, enjoy the dates, phone calls, or even Skype chats.

Pay attention to the little pains before they turn into big ones – If you’re disappointed with something he says or does (even if it’s small) talk to your relationship coach about it.  Write about it in your journal and keep track.  Sometimes we’re disappointed with someone in the very beginning but we accept it because we’re having such a good time that we don’t want it to end.  Well, that’s like letting someone poke you with a thumbtack over and over again.  Eventually you’re going to get really sore!

All in all, if you want to love again you have to try again.  Learning new ways to handle situations or how to recognize a good man may be the key to having the loving relationship you want.  You can’t keep doing the same things and get different results.  Lucky for you there are programs you can invest in to learn new things so you can get new results.
