Getting Rid of the Flies in Your Relationships

Why would anyone allow flies to remain in their fragrance of anointment?  Maybe they have developed a familiar connection with the fly and are desensitized to the foul odor and behavior.  Some people never achieve full deliverance because they like a particular behavior and have a kinship and friendship with the unclean spirit; they refuse to abandon the relationship.  If you are in the midst of a filthy and foul odor you will eventually become desensitized to the stench and walk around in it as though all is well.  Someone else could walk in from the fresh clean air and as soon as the door opens they can smell the foul spirit of the house.  That is precisely what God's ministers do, they enter into the room of someone's spirit and smell the foul odor of the enemy even when the person who is in bondage cannot.

Be Encouraged... You Were Made for the Man!

Men cannot live out God's original plan without you and you cannot live out God's original plan without the man.  We are co-laborers and co-dependants together in God's plan.  You can live a happy and satisfying life as a single woman, oh yes you can.  However, if you don't wan to why should you?  Be encouraged.  Wear your spiritual fragrance and attract yourself a man after God's own heart.

Stop feelig as though you have sinned or like you are not worthy to be called a child of God because you desire to be married.  Instead, exercise your faith for a husband.  Ask the Lord for more of the perfume that would draw him to you.  Stop fearing and don't panic.  God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of love, and of power and a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7).

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.

Consumed By Desire

How many single women do you know who are almost consumed by the desire to get married? There are so many women who are longing for a relationship they are not ready to receive. If you are going to walk with God, you must understand something: Timing is everything.

When the Lord has prepared the right man for you and you for him, and that man shows up at the right time, you must be sure that you are in the right place with the right perspective to receive all that God wants to release to you.

The Bible says that “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord”.

Often, because of old issues you haven’t dealth with or old wounds that haven’t healed; you may find yourself wandering around in a stupor somewhere emotionally unprepared for a healthy relation. You will not be able to be the “good thing” you were meant to be in your husband’s life unless you are healed and whole, your man will not feel that He’s enjoying the Lord’s favor in his relationship with you.

Ladies, men do not exist to bring the favor of the Lord to your lives, either. You find the favor of the Lord by being the woman He creates you to be-by breaking the chains with which the devil had you bound b y knowing the Lord passionately and intimately, by walking in His power and worshiping Him with your life.

It Just Haven't Happened Yet, AND WHY?

We all live life differently and experience things at different times. The author encourages you to be who you are and to stop picking apart everything about yourself. She backs up the idea that we all do things (including finding love) in our own time and in our own way. Honestly, the book really makes you feel like you are fine just the way you are and that wherever you are at in your life is where you are supposed to be (which is another thing that I really loved about the book). I guess in a way it reassured me that I am doing what I need to be doing and that I am at the right place in my life.
