This photo caught my attention because not only is she wearing one of my favorite colors (insert smiley emoji here), it seems as if she is looking back at the past with a smile with a favorite drink in hand! And that my dear sisters- women of God is how we are called to live because: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ~Romans 8:28. We are to give thanks in all things because God is using ALL things for our good as incredibly difficult as it may seem. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22:

Christian Living

12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

¹³ And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

¹⁴ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

¹⁵ See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

¹⁶ Rejoice evermore.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹⁸ In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit.

²⁰ Despise not prophesyings.

²¹ Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

²² Abstain from all appearance of evil. King James Version (KJV)

As the LORD leads, I will be sharing content under the “Women” tab geared at helping women to stay the course and to grow in wisdom so that we can be the humble and wise help-meet to our husbands, mom to our children/grandchildren, servant and ambassador of our Heavenly Father and disciple of JESUS CHRIST.

I will also be exposing the wicked schemes that Satan has been using to break down the family unit. The enemy knows that our role as mothers and wives is extremely important because only mothers can be the nurturers that God created us to be for our children. A mother is the backbone of her family and if we look at the current state of society and our culture, we can clearly see that there is a dire need for God’s divine intervention in the lives of women.

My “AHA” moment came several years ago when I was employed part-time with the USPS. I worked part-time (by choice) as a data conversion operator but I was offered the full-time/career position twice. I turned the offer down both times because being away from my lil ones for 5-6 hours a night (part-time) was already very difficult.

It’s incredible to see how easy the enemy makes it for us moms to not only become employed but also to advance in the workplace. Why? Because the enemy knows that when a mother works outside of the home he has an open door to wreak all kinds of havoc in our family and especially in our children’s lives. I can’t help but wonder how many men/fathers who are left to babysit their children are instead glued to their devices looking at pornography or having cyber affairs. It’s gut-wrenching. Our family fell victim to the enemy’s schemes and I am still working on forgiving myself for the many years that I worked outside of the home and left my children to gather stuff that has no real value and definitely no eternal reward. God cannot bless that.

My three oldest (of 5) were more negatively affected by my poor choices, as are many children. I firmly believe that every troubled teen comes from a home of two working parents but it’s worse when mom works no matter how old the children are and also because of divorce.

I believe it’s safe to say that when a woman works she is more susceptible to having an affair. Satan knows exactly what we are lacking at home and he will find someone to fill that need. We see it all the time and some of us have been affected by it personally.

If you are currently in a situation where you are being tempted to have an emotional affair or are already involved in one, PLEASE TELL SOMEONE. Tell a person that you can trust to tell you the truth about the matter and not a person who will condone it. We must go to the person who will tell us that God will never be ok with an emotional or physical affair no matter how bad the marriage situation is at home UNLESS there’s physical abuse or adultery involved to which separation is advised per Christian experts.

Adultery doesn’t have to lead to divorce. There are several awesome testimonies of women who have forgiven their cheating husbands including Lysa Terkeurst and yours truly. It is not an easy road but neither is divorce. God can restore the cheating husband who must be delivered from the spirit of lust, insecurity, and all emotional childhood trauma which opened doors to the forenamed evil spirits (often times it was due to sexual abuse or due to the absence of one or both parents in the home). The wife must be able to forgive and must also be delivered from the spirit of grief and possibly a spirit of bitterness and/or a tormenting spirit- the one that continues bringing up the past. Here are great resources on the subject of adultery and marriage restoration: Testimony of a Restored Marriage

and Sacred Marriage Small Group Bible Study by Gary Thomas

and Divorce and Remarriage David Pawson

We all need a god-fearing person in our lives who knows that God hates divorce and who will give us wise counsel or who will refer us to a trusted member/professional and/or pastor/minister of a church.

Malachi 2:16 “For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away [divorce]: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.” You can read in context here: Malachi 2

God commands us to confess our sins to one another because He knows that as soon as we confess the truth the light is turned on exposing the enemy to the fullest which is why I made it public on Facebook that I was receiving many DM’s (direct message) requests on my Instagram account from many men and not one of them asked me if I was married. I always pray for the married men that do that, their wives, and their marriage. The reason for exposing it on Facebook or to others is so that we not give the enemy a foothold into our lives that can easily become a stronghold. A stronghold is nothing to be messing with as a Christian. I will have a blog post about strongholds. Here’s a message on strongholds: Casting Down Strongholds / Spiritual Warfare – Derek Prince

If the enemy has nothing on us, he cannot attack our body, soul, mind, or family.

Proverbs 26:2 states: As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

(Another Bible translation: Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
    an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

If you are a working mom and are/have been feeling convicted to quit your job to stay home with your children, I pray that the following blog post with resources will encourage you to make the decision to quit your job and help you make the necessary changes to be able to afford it. www.biblemoneymatters.com

God will be there every step of the way guiding you and leading you as He did with me because it is God’s perfect will for mothers to raise their own children and not daycare or friends and family. It is a fact that when moms started working society began deteriorating. This article wonderfully explains the value of a stay-at-home mom. 

I took that huge leap of faith and quit my job in 2007 while working for the USPS Remote Encoding Center where I was offered the career position twice but I thank God that I turned it down both times. I’m not gonna lie, it was a tempting offer because the pay is good and the benefits are great. The day came when I went in to resign. I was struggling to get out of my car to walk into the workplace to submit my resignation because I feared that we wouldn’t be able to afford it, but my mom who followed me there to watch my kids encouraged me to have faith and to trust God and with God’s help I did. My good and faithful heavenly Father provided and we are doing far better financially now than when I was working because God honors the faith of those who trust in Him and seek to be in His perfect will.

The only regret I have is not having done it sooner, I wish I had never worked a day in my life. My advice to all girls, gals, young women- PLEASE DO NOT enter the workforce. From experience, I know and say that money will get to a woman’s head and her pride will get puffed up unless she is humble and entirely submitted to the LORD JESUS, and I venture to say that very few women are. That is why many women are able to file for divorce instead of seeking God for divine intervention.

I will also be sharing a lot concerning the spirit of Jezebel– a spirit that the enemy has used for millennia to use women who refuse to submit to any sort of authority in very wicked ways. Men can also have the spirit of Jezebel but more women are used to seduce and cause all sorts of trouble (e.g. the unruly mother and mother-in-law, flirtatious sister, sister in Christ/sister-in-law, etc…). I am ruthless when dealing with someone being used by this very wicked spirit. The Jezebel spirit can be compared to a narcissist personality. You can read the biblical account of Jezebel here: 1 Kings 21

Since learning about the spirit of Jezebel and how it works, I have repented forever allowing myself to be used by that evil spirit, and I now seek to help others being used by it and those who are victims of the wicked spirit of Jezebel. I am doing so by exposing it any chance I get. A renowned deliverance minister stated that 99% (if I remember correctly above 90% for certain) of sexual abuse victims (male and female) many of whom are women have the Jezebel spirit. He explained that the enemy uses trauma specifically sexual abuse and emotional abuse to enter the body of the victim. Evil spirits cannot enter our spirit but they can enter our souls. JESUS CHRIST cast out evil spirits everywhere he went and I pray the church will begin to do so also because JESUS CHRIST paid a very high price.

Divorce is as rampant in the church as it is in the world. It’s incredible and utterly disturbing to see how many well-known female ministers/pastors are divorcing because they are sending a message to the church as a whole that it’s “ok” to get a divorce. Most of those women have “daddy issues” and they need the “Father fix”. I am praying for them. (excellent message here: Daddy Issues // All Strings Attached Part 1

Divorce, for the most part, is made possible when a woman works, and rarely will it be because the woman found a man who will support her and her children. The devil’s intention is to cause the worst pain possible through a divorce.

Satan wants the woman/mom to abandon her children and go to work because that gives him a wide-open door to wreak havoc on the children oftentimes in the form of sexual abuse. I’ve heard too many testimonies of adults whose lives were shattered due to their parents’ divorce (many of them were sexually abused by family members or family friends) and they went down the wrong path. Most people struggling with homosexuality were sexually abused. The current degraded state of our culture and society is a result of a high percentage of working moms and divorce!

If you believe that divorce is acceptable and that it’s ok for young gals and women to go out and work, please do yourself, your future generations, and the rest of society a favor and please do NOT condone it nor encourage and recommend it to others. Please read the “Men” tab on this website for further insight. If you condone divorce or are considering divorce I ask you to please listen to this message: Divorce and Remarriage by David Pawson

I highly encourage all women to please listen to these testimonies and please share them with their daughters but especially listen to them if you are struggling in your mindset to accept God’s principles (about marriage, divorce, and sex) and/or if you are struggling to submit to God’s will and/or if you are living in sin please listen to these messages that I pray will richly bless you and get you on your way to divine deliverance in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST AMEN:

May we desire to be a blessing to our children and future generations and not a stumbling block, in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST I pray.
