Good
morning Ladies!!
I am talking specifically to the
ladies this morning! Check out the video below that my friend sent me; in it
Janette Ikz talks about waiting for the man God will send you – it was right on
time! I listened to it and it reinforced what I already knew: why waste your
time giving your heart to an Ishmael when God has YOUR Isaac for you?!!! My
friend Kim use to tell me that a lot! Do not ladies settle for the first man
who comes alone to fulfill your loneliness or satisfy your emotions; it is a
temporary fix – it will not last!! Plus, you are setting yourselves up to be
used and abused because predators can sense your neediness and will take
advantage of you.
I will not settle for less than who
God has ordained for me!! I have made up in my mind I will allow God to prepare
me for my Isaac and while He is preparing me for him, God is preparing him for
me!! Enough of that temporary stuff! Why give your heart and everything in your
(on the natural side) to a man who is not yours? Why hope that the man you get
involve with is the one when if you allow God to send the one who is compatible
with you to you, you will never have to go through abuse to find the right
one!! Compatibility is the key!! God knows who you will be compatible with so
let Him put that person in your path; don’t you go trying to find the man, let
the man find you!!
The Bible tells us that the man who find a wife finds a good
thing; not the woman!! God will put the right person in your path is you seek Him
but He will not make you marry anyone you do not want to nor will He force
someone to love you if they do they do not; that will go against our free
will!!! Example, if God puts a man in your path and you say no, then it is your
choice and God is not going to force you to be with that person. Another
example, if you go to your Pastor for marriage counseling and God has told the
Pastor that is not your husband (and this has happened before to me – God had
told me but I did not listen) and you marry anyway, that is your choice, God
tried to warn you but you chose someone that was not compatible with you – it
will not work!! Oh, you can stay in that marriage and try and make it work,
that is your choice too, but you and the other person will be miserable!! I know
someone who has been married for over thirty something years and they have no
relationship, they don’t sleep in the same bed and the wife is miserable!! Why
in the name of God and good sense (my ex-Pastor use to sayJ)
would you put yourself through that jus to have someone in your life? Actually,
they are not in your life and that is NOT living the abundant life Jesus died
for you to live!! Just wait on God to send you the man that is compatible with
you!!
Don’t be so quick to rush into a
relationship because what is going to happen, if he is not the one, you will be
crushed, depressed, oppressed and don’t want to go on! Does that make any
sense? In the past that is how I lived my life up until Oct 2006 when God
delivered me from the last abusive marriage and I will NEVER, LIVE MY LIFE THAT
WAY AGAIN!!!
While you are becoming emotionally soul tied to guys you
think is the one, your Isaac will not come; so pray and ask God to detach you
from man you are attached to that was not the one and wait for YOUR God given
spouse!! No more give your heart to someone who is not compatible to you and is
not the one God has ordained for you!! I pray that every ungodly soul tie be
broken between you and that person in the Name of Jesus!! God will show you who
you need to break those emotional soul ties with!! You deserve more than an
occasional fulfillment by Ishmael; You deserve your own man who God has chosen
for you!!
Listen to the words in the video as
Janette tells you what to do and what not to do while you are waiting for your
God ordained man – she describes the Ishmael and the Isaac. I pray that you
will decide this day to wait for YOUR man and NO MORE be satisfied with the
little attention the Ishmael gives you!! No MORE will you settle for less when YOUR
man is waiting for you to line up with God's will so he can come into your
life!! NO MORE!!! NO MORE!!!
I have made up in my mind that I am
going to let God be God in my life and not try to choose my own mate; if it
happen, it will God's doing not mine!! So I have shifted my focus to God fully
and completely, no more distractions, and allow Him to finish preparing me to
receive what He has in store for my life!! I told God, “Yes Lord, not my will but yours –
I will wait for MY own husband and will not settle for anyone else!!" My
life belongs to God and my heart belongs to God!! Instead of being satisfied in
a man’s presence who is not your chosen mate, learn how to be satisfied in
God’s presence!! Decide today that you are will no longer devalue yourselves by
allowing any man into your life just because he says “I love you!!” God love
you and don’t ever forget that!! God loves you so much more and He wants the
best for you!! God knows what you need, who you need, and when you need it!!
Starting this day, allow God to
bring the man He suggest for you (I say suggest because He knows who is
compatible with you but the choice is yours)!! Don’t worry about “it” because
God is working “it” out – whatever your “it” is!!
Seek God for His direction;
acknowledge Him in ALL your ways and watch Him work it out for you; watch God
take everything the devil meant for evil and turn around for your good!! But
you have to listen to Him and follow His directions!! Don’t go looking for any
man to satisfy your fleshy, emotional, lonely desires, but allow God to bring
YOUR man, YOUR Isaac to you!! It is going to be worth the wait!! Because THIS
man will value you; will build you up; will love you; will treat you like a
queen; will pull out the God given everything in you; and you will do the same
for him!! Why? Because you both will be compatible with each other and will
have no problem becoming one!! Shift YOUR focus to God and don’t worry about a
husband – allow God to do what needs to be done in YOU so you will be ready for
your Isaac when he does show up – you will know him when you see him! Wait on
God!!
May
the peace of God rest, rule, and abide you in your hearts and minds!!
