What is the Key to Walking in the Anointing. Learn more...

The name Christ means 'anointed'  When we say Jesus Christ that means Jesus the anointed.    The first believers in Jesus were called Christians in Antioch.   Christian would mean anointed ones.   If that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, it will quicken your mortal body!  It is the anointing from God that makes the difference.   To say, "Let Christ dwell in you," is saying, "Let the anointing dwell in you."   Most people do not understand the anointing, but as Christians the anointing of God should dwell within us.

Romans 13:11 And this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.  13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Verse 14 says to put on the Lord Jesus Christ!  The anointing comes upon your life like a cloak.  When I feel God wants me to preach, I begin looking for a message.  As I look for it, the anointing to hear a message and preach that message comes to me.    We all have a different measure of anointing.  We may not all preach from the pulpit, but nearly every believer in some way can bring forth a message from God.   When I feel God wants me to operate in the spirit of prophecy I begin asking God for words of prophecy, as I begin to ask for this anointing, words of prophecy come to me.   If you do not seek for the  anointing, it will not come to you.   Not all of us will stand in front of crowds like Kim Clement and prophecy words from the Lord, but most Christians can receive prophetic words from the Lord about their own life and direction and perhaps the people around them.   We all have a measure of the anointing, but unless we seek God for that measure it lays dormant in our lives.   When I looked for a message to preach, I received one.   When I look for a word of prophecy the Lord gives me prophetic words to say.   It is the same with healing, words of knowledge, words of wisdom.   When I look for a healing anointing, it comes to me, when I search for knowledge and words of wisdom God gives them to me according to the anointing upon my life.  And make no mistake about it, YOU have an anointing.  It may not be as powerful of an anointing as Joyce Meyers, but God has not left you an orphan, you have an anointing.

   When I begin my morning by looking for these anointings and I look for people through out the day to minister to, that is when the anointing to do these things come upon me.  This is how we put on Christ.   I put on the anointing by yielding my life to the anointing, by preparing my mind to look for people through out the day to minister to.   So that it is no longer I who live but it is Christ (the anointing of God) who lives through me!  Is it the minister that should live this way?  No. Not just the minister, but the CHRISTIAN that should put on Christ, (put on the anointing).  You belong to Christ Jesus, so put on Christ and walk in the level of anointing that has been given to you!

This is a Word for someone today.  The ministry is not about doing a work for God, but instead it is about putting on Christ,  putting on the anointing and allowing God to do a work through you!

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

We clothe ourselves in the anointing when we seek God for the ability to minister to others, and we walk and live by the spirit as we go about our day with the mind of Christ, looking every day for an opportunity to minister to others as we go through our day.   This is not just for ministers to do, but for the ordinary CHRISTian.   For we are commanded to walk in the Spirit, and not in the lust of our flesh.  We are told to have the mind of Christ.   And Jesus carried the anointing daily looking for people through out the day he could minister too.   Let that same mind by in you which was in Christ Jesus.   If we walk in the Spirit this way we will not give way to the lust and desires of our flesh through out the day.   In fact we will walk with the anointing and the spirit will be upon us all through out the day.  This makes it harder for frustration to take us, harder for depression to take us, harder for jealousy, anger and all the works of the flesh to rule and reign in our lives.  Why is it harder for the flesh to rule us?  Because when we walk in the spirit we have our minds on the things of the spirit and not on the things of the flesh. 

When I wake up each morning and PUT ON CHRIST I am asking God for words of knowledge, words of prophecy, the gift of healings, words of wisdom, so that I will have these anointings to share with people through the day.  Then all through out my day I look for people to minister too, Christ (the anointing) lives through me this way.     By preparing myself with the mindset of Christ looking for as many people to minister to through out my day the anointing of God clothes me and I begin to do the will of the Father.

There is someone today and you have been looking for the key to the anointing and the power of God.  I have given you the key in this devotion today.  

No Longer Living with Shame and Condemnation!

The worse kind of condemnation and shame is the kind that comes and you have NO IDEA WHY it is there, it is just THERE, and no matter what you do it stays.  The enemy wants you to spend your life in shame and condemnation that leads to anger and fear.     There are three things that will remain after all else has passed.  Those three things are FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.   The enemy like to bring shame, condemnation and fear into your life because he is trying to replace faith with fear.  Hope with shame.  And love with condemnation.    No matter what happens to your in life, you must hang on to faith, hope and love, for if you have these three things you have EVERYTHING already!

What is going to bring you into prosperity?  Faith, hope and love.
What is going to bring you to a place of happiness in life?  Faith, hope and love.
What is going to bring you to a place of contentment?  Faith, hope and love.

If someone said to me, "I will give you a million dollars but you have to choose between having that or having faith, hope and love, then I would decline the money and hang on to those three virtues!   Million dollars can come and go, but faith, hope and love will always remain, without them life is meaningless, but with them all things are possible.

1 John 4:8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
Why does the enemy send people into your life to hurt you, abuse you, betray you, slander you, wound you?  He is after more than just to hurt you.  The enemy is after your love.  He wants to steal every bit of the love out of your heart.  He wants to replace love with fear.  The enemy wants to make you afraid to love.  He wants you to back into a corner of isolation where you trust no one, help no one, reach out to no one, where you refuse to do acts of kindness for anyone.  The enemies ultimate goal is to steal the love out of your heart.    No matter who hurts you, or abuses you, or takes advantage of you HANG ON to love in your heart.   Don't let you heart turn stone cold, dark and cynical.   Oh, if only people could see that there are three things that make up life, joy, peace, soundness of mind.  Those things are faith, hope and love!   NO matter what life dishes out at you, hang on to love in your heart, be a giver, reach out to others, continue to care of one another.   IF you have lost love, allow God to restore you soul.    

Why does the enemy hit us suddenly with bad news, bad circumstances, bad breaks, rough times, hard situations?  IT is because he is after your HOPE.   No matter what happens to you today or what you have to go through do not allow hope to slip out of your grasp.  Without hope despair, depression anger and frustrations move in, and when they move in our life falls into greater and greater darkness.  You see the world is a bad and sorrowful place and it is hard to go through this world at times, so the faith, hope and love inside us help us to balance out our lives so that we can make it through the hard times.  When we lose our love, our hope, our faith we get our lives out of balance.   When we get all out of balance the enemy throws us around like a ping pong ball, back and forth, up and down.  Our peace is gone, our energy is gone, our path is dark.   Only when God restores our soul and puts faith, hope and love back into our souls do we find our path that leads to a brighter future.

Romans 5:3And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Why does the enemy try to cover us in shame, condemnation, guilt and remorse?   It is because he is after our faith!   He wants to replace your faith with fear and doubts.   He wants you to think that God has forsaken you, forgotten you, been unfaithful to you.      NO matter what you are facing, and whatever you are losing today, just let it go and hold on to faith, hope and love with everything that is within you.  If you have nothing left but your faith, hope and love you already have everything you need to rebuild your life and receive back even more than whatever you have lost.     Losing everything you have is not as bad as losing faith, hope or love.  Cleave to them with all that is within you and never let go.

1 Corinthians 13:3 And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Three Qualities of Great Faith

Jesus told a few people that they had great faith.   What were the things that they said and did that caused Jesus to marvel over their great faith?    We certainly don't want to have weak faith, because it is through great faith in Jesus where we find many of the miracles of the Bible.

Matthew 8:9 "For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." 10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. 11"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven

1.  People with great faith believe that with only a WORD they can receive their miracle.   I know people that if they don't 'feel' goose bumps, and experience a great 'swoosh' of the presence of God they struggle to believe that 'anything happened'   When you have great faith you don't need hands laid on you, someone to personally visit you, Holy Ghost goose bumps or any other kind of attention.   Just at the WORD that you have what you need from God you will believe it and it will be done according to your faith.


Matthew 15:27 But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28 Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.

2.  People with great faith will not be offended with obstacles, difficulties and circumstances that try to deter them from receiving from God.   This woman in this passage had many obstacles to overcome and at each point of difficulty she could have given up.  Even after Jesus referenced to her as a dog, she did not get offended and quit, she continued to go after her miracle.  Jesus told her that because of her great faith, she would receive her miracle.   Too often at the least bit of struggle we get offended and quit.  Great faith does not get offended and quit!

Matthew 8:21 for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well." 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well. 

3. People with great faith continue to press forward until they touch heaven.   They will not stop go after their miracle until they touch the hem of his garment.   Too often we get tired, discouraged, frustrated, and fatigued and we quit.   This woman had a bleeding disorder, which would make her fatigued more than likely, yet she pressed through the crowd.  People with great faith will take whatever energy they have left and they will spend that energy pressing in to touch Jesus.

Six Things that Will Cause you to Have Weak Faith

It is important that we understand that miracles are a by-product of our faith, miracles most of the time don't 'just happen'  Most often miracles are a result of our faith.

Noah BUILT, Moses LEAD, Joshua MARCHED, Daniel PRAYED, The Three Hebrew Children STOOD, David FOUGHT, Samuel LISTENED and OBEYED.   When God moves it is generally because of our faith.   Today we are going to look at what Jesus called small faith, and what the cause of weak faith in God.

Matthew 17: 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?" 20 And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. 21 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

1.  Small faith will cause you to skip out on prayer and fasting.   If we knew and understood and had the faith to fast and pray we would see more of our problems resolved through prayer.   We pray in our convenience instead of sacrificing our time, talent and money to fast and pray.  Because we do not have the faith to invest large amounts of time in prayer we fail to see miracles happen.

Matthew 8:26
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

2.  When you have little faith, your life will be full of fears of every kind.

Mark 9:23
"'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."

3.  Little faith will make you question what God is capable of in your life.

Matthew 6:30
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you--you of little faith?

4.  When you have little faith you will worry about material things

Matthew 14:31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

5.  When you have little faith you will be full of doubts, and you will look at the storms and problems instead of looking at Jesus.

Matthew 16:8
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?

6.  When  you have little faith you will discuss your lack with others.


Maybe you think you have great faith because you believe in God.   To see a miracle in your life it will take more than believing the Scriptures, and knowing the Scriptures.  You will have to devote your life to fasting and prayer.    You will have to allow God to eliminate your fears and your questions about God's abilities and love for you.    You will have to quit worrying about every little thing and the material needs.   You will have to quit looking and the storm and fix your eyes on Jesus.  And also you must quit discussing your lack and needs with others, and discuss the spiritual things instead.

If Jesus looked at these people and scolded them for having little faith, will He not do the same for us.  Most people do these things and at the same time think that they have great faith in God simply because they believe in miracles.  It is not enough to believe in miracles, that is only the start of faith.  You must add to that belief an trust in God that helps you eliminate all of these things that Jesus called little faith.  Most Americans in spite of what they believe have little faith, will your rise up and allow God to put a large faith down inside of you.  That will only happen as you overcome these six things and eliminate them from your life!

How to Pray For The Sick, Speaking The Words of Faith!

Let's look again at HOW TO HEAL THE SICK!

So many people suffer from sickness, pain and disease.  And what did Jesus do?  He healed them ALL!  No one left disappointed, no one was told to be quiet, no one was left in need.   We may never see all who come receive healing, but it is good that many who come are healed.   Let's look at another example of how Jesus healed the sick.

Mark 10:46-10:52

46 They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. ⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ ⁴⁸Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ ⁴⁹Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call him here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take heart; get up, he is calling you.’ ⁵⁰So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.⁵¹Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher,^* let me see again.’ ⁵²Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way. 

Once again here we see that Jesus HEALED without even praying to the Father!    I'm not saying it is wrong to pray to the Father for healing, what I am saying is that actual miracles usually happen when we go beyond prayer.  

Once again we see that the blind man, just like the lepers we studied yesterday came to where Jesus was and yelled out loudly for him to have mercy!   And they did so publicly.    This is so very important.  The  number one hindrance to healing is that people are so passive about going after healing.   We think we don't need to get in prayer lines, or seek out people with the anointing and gift of healing, but this kind of passivity though comfortable will leave you SICK.   Most people that believe for healing but have not received it will say things to me like, "I don't think I have to get others to pray for me, I can receive it at home, or on my own."   I do not see any precedent for this type of healing in the Bible.  Even James says, "To call on the elders."  when you need healing.  

When Jesus finally called for him to come he didn't lay hands on him, he didn't pray for him, he didn't address the Father at all on behalf of this blind man.  

He simply said, "Go, Your faith has made you well."

 He simply told him he was healed and he was healed. 

Here are a few examples of time when someone was healed in our ministry this way.  

I had a woman contact me online, she had some major heart problems.  She told me her situation and she asked me to pray for her.    I said to her, "I don't want you to worry about anything.   You  will have no more problems with your heart, you are healed."      She said, "OK, I agree."  One week later she contacted me again and said that she in fact received her healing then, the symptoms were gone, and she had returned the the doctor and got confirmation that she no longer had the heart problems.  

what happened?  I spoke a Word of Faith, and she believed and because of her faith she was healed.  

Another time I was at the hospital with a woman that was having a baby.  On each of her other births she went into a panic attack during delivery.  She was afraid of the delivery, but she was afraid even more of going into a panic attack during the delivery.    I looked at her and I said, "You will be fine, panic disorder will not take you during delivery, I want you to say to yourself, God is with me."     

She told me after she had the baby that at first she thought she was going to have a panic attack, but she began saying, "I am fine, God is with me."  And she said it passed by and she was fine.  She was so glad that she had gotten it under control!  

Do you believe that just at the Words, "YOU ARE HEALED" that you can and will be healed?   The blind man believed it and was healed.  Often I tell people they are healed, and they believe it and are healed.  I'm not talking about positive confession, where you keep saying you are healed until it happens.  I'm talking about A Word of faith, that is spoken once in the authority of God and by the anointing and power of God through faith.  

If you can believe it, all things are possible for those who believe!  

Receiving Healing Is Easy When You Know How to Pray for the Sick!

What I want to teach you today is how to pray and get results when you are praying for the sick.

When we pray for the sick in our ministry, we see more that are healed than we see  people that do not receive healing, and this is an uncommon thing to see in most churches today.

The first key is to understand that Jesus healed ALL who were sick and oppressed of the devil.  Jesus had a high rate of healing when he prayed, 100 percent!    So, we must look at how Jesus prayed and do the SAME thing, pray the SAME way, and follow in his footsteps.

Let's look today at one example of when Jesus healed the sick.   And hopefully we can continue this series.  Every week we have people come forward for prayer, for healing in our church and every week people are healed.  
Luke 17:11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Teacher, have mercy on us.

14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18There was not found one that returned to give glory to God, except this stranger.

19And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.

Notice in this Scripture that first of all, Jesus didn't even PRAY for these lepers!   Often the sick can be healed by the power of God without even uttering a prayer.  As a matter of fact sometimes our long-winded prayers just distract and get in the way.   

Let's look at the verses above.  These lepers came out to meet Jesus and they cried out, "Have mercy on us"   Now this is so very important when praying for the sick.  If people are not looking for healing, don't offer them healing!  Jesus didn't go to the leper colony and clean it out.  No, these 10 lepers came and looked for Jesus.   People will say, "If God uses you to heal, why not just go to the hospital and clean it out?"   It is plain and simple, because even JESUS didn't do that!     Who was the one that got healed the most often in Jesus' ministry?   Was it the skeptic sitting quietly on the side of the road minding their own business?  NO!  It was the one that was chasing after Jesus and calling out to him!   

We offer people prayer daily, but we seldom suggest what kind of prayer they need.  We will say, "Is there anything we can pray with you about?"    And if they are sick and request prayer for this, they have the faith to be healed!   Or if there is a crowd we may call out, if you are sick, come forward for prayer.   Those who come forward are usually healed, but not everyone that is sick will come forward for prayer, some people simply do not believe and others are afraid they will lose their disability check if they are healed.  Yes.  People have told us this, quite often in fact.   So do not assume that all sick people want to be healed of their sicknesses and diseases.  

So what happened in this Scripture?  Did Jesus go find a leper colony and clean it out?  No.  He came into a city and 10 lepers came to meet him and cried out to him to help them.   This is setting the stage for a miracle to happen!    Are you needing healing?  Than why are you sitting passive by the wayside?  Get up out of that seat, find anyone and everyone you can with even an ounce of an anointing and ask them to pray for you.   Never stop asking people to lay hands on you, or to anoint you when you are sick, keep pressing in day after day seeking out healing and you will find it.   I know people with serious illnesses.  Do they seek after people to pray for them?  No.  They sit passive by the wayside and say, "Well, God will heal me someday."  If these 10 lepers had done this on this day guess what, they would have remained lepers!    When facing illness, I get anyone and every one to pray for me, and if I don't get healed, I go through and get them all to pray for me again!  Needless to say I am 48 years old, no sickness in my body, no medicine, no pains in my body.    To God be the glory, but in the past seven years I bet I have had everyone in our church lay hands on me at one point or another.  Why?  Because when I ask someone to anoint me for healing, my faith activates the power of God in their life and it is just a matter of time before I am healed!  

So what does Jesus do after they cry out to him?   Does he come running and ask them about their sickness and get their life history?   Does he spend a lot of time with them and make a big fuss over them?   Does he get out his bottle of oil and anoint them?   Do he spout out a big KING JAMES prayer and stomp and holler?   None of these things.  He simply tells them to go show themselves to the priest.   Now , they could not rejoin the community and their families unless the priest declared them cleansed.  And on the way they were made whole.

This is so important for you not to miss this.   I will give you a few examples of how we have used this model of healing in our ministry.   I was in the church parking lot one day and a woman came up to me and said, "I have heard that God has used you to see some people get healed.  Boy, I sure would like to get healed, my hips are just killing me all the time."   So as she is talking, I reach out and put my hands on her side and I speak to her hips to be healed in Jesus name,  and I say to her, "Move your hips right now, do you have any pain."    Well, the whole time she still hadn't finished telling me what was wrong with her hips, and she is continuing to tell me the whole story of her pain as she begins to do what I say and  move her hips.  Suddenly, she stops talking and she says, "HEY!  The pain is GONE!"    So this woman received a healing before she even had time to finish explaining to me what was wrong.    How did it happen.   She came and asked for help.  I laid hands on her and spoke healing  to the hip in Jesus name.  And her faith activated when she began moving her hips.  The PAIN was gone!  Praise God. 

Another time I was at a woman's retreat and I went to the bathroom and a woman I used to attend church with was in the bathroom.   She said, "Oh, I am so glad to see you pray for me please, I am in such pain."   So as soon as I walked over to her she went into a religious chant.  She closed her eyes and started chanting the same things over and over again, a religious habit of hers, nothing but a DISTRACTION to healing.   So I said to her does it hurt when you bend over and touch your toes?"   Well, it broke her chant, and she opened her eyes and said, "Oh, I can't touch my toes."  I reached out and tapped her back bone and I said, " In the name of Jesus, You can now, reach down and touch your toes."  So, she bent right down and touched them!   Well, she was just excited,  She left right out of that bathroom and told everyone,  I saw her bending over and showing everyone that she could touch her toes without any pain.  They were rejoicing! When I told her to touch her toes, it was her faith to bend over and try to touch them that activated the power of God. Healing the sick is just that easy.   We are the ones that try to make it complicated.  Show me anything complicated in what Jesus did for these lepers in these verses.  It's not rocket science, it is faith, and faith will work if you let go of your religious ways and activate it.  

I'm Just So Frustrated, And I Need Answers! read more...

The enemy is after  your hope!      These three things will remain,  FAITH, HOPE and LOVE!    Despair, discouragement, depressions, frustrations this is what the enemy replaces our hope with!    What does the enemy try to replace our faith with?  Fears, doubts, anxieties, worries..

If you want God to move on your behalf, you will have to hang on to HOPE.

Most of the time our answer is very simple.   

Spend more time in prayer.   Pay whatever price you must pay to live out the Word of God in your life.   I have said this more than once because it needs repeating.  It will take more than prayer and/or church attendance to change your life!   Our lives must be built upon obedience to the Word of God!  Often we cannot see our lives as well as we should be able to see them.   Ask someone close to you if they see areas of your life where you do not obey the Word of God.  Ask a mentor that knows you, your parent, your child, or someone close to you that you know will tell you the truth.    

Sometimes our situation is that we 'date' or 'live with' or 'marry' people that do not live the Word of God in their lives.   Anyone that does not live according to the Bible is not good for you.  No matter how lonely you are, or how much you like them, they will leave your life barren and empty in the end.  And you will have to start all over!  

I have found that this is the single biggest mistake that people are making, they trying to change the other person.  Do NOT believe the lie that you can change them.   100 percent out of 100 hundred people that I minister to that got themselves into that kind of situation will say to me, "I thought I could change them."  How terrible!   Would you want someone to enter into a relationship with you with the idea that they were going to change you?

How would you like to find out that someone is only with you with the idea that if they could change you, then you would be the person they always dreamed of.   This is a terrible foundation for a relationship.   Everyone wants to be loved JUST AS THEY ARE.  No one wants someone else to try and change them.  If you think you have to change that other person, they are not the one for you!  I taught this one time and a woman said, "Oh, you are right, I wouldn't want someone always trying to change me, I'm going to stop trying to change him and love him just like He is."   That is a noble thing to do except for one thing.  She found out she DIDN'T love him just like he was, no that was the things she couldn't stand about him.  What she really loved was her VISION of who he could be if He would change!    How terrible.   She is still  miserable today.  And the worst part is, if she divorces him she has to START ALL OVER again!    Why is she miserable.  She got involved with someone who does not live like God says to live!   And if someone prays and goes to church, that still does not mean they truly are serving God with all their heart, mind and soul.   The question is, "Do they obey God in their life choices!"  

A lot of times people are 'with' other people in relationship because it is a money thing.  It is hard to make it on just one income now a days.   This is where your faith can grow.  When you take things into your own understanding, and you depend on someone else to help pay the bills, you miss your miracles.   Now don't get me wrong, it is not easy to live from miracle to miracle.  I have done this before, and it will force you to get your life in line with faith, prayer, seeking God, depending upon Him alone.    It will force you to grow spiritually to truly trust God to provide for your every need, but in the end it will bring the maturity in  your life that you need.    We become co-dependent when we rely on someone else to meet our needs.  Better to be God-dependent.    If you will put your full trust in God, line up with the Word of God, and refuse to be removed from that position, in time you will find that he turns your circumstances around and brings your life to a good place!

I know there are those reading this right now and your thinking, 'Wow, this is really true."  but the problem is that if you leave your current relationship you have to start all over again.  And wow.  that is never easy.   Sometimes it takes a leap of faith, but, it is worth the price if you become God dependent and wait for God to send you the right relationship, one in which you don't have to change the other person for the relationship to make you happy.    Please forward this blog to anyone that really needs to hear it.  I know so many are hurting and confused today.  God bless.
