Dealing With It- The Man

     Woman have you ever wondered why you don't understand the men in your life whether it is a son, husband, nephew or friend?  You find it difficult to understand the thought process of a man. Well, maybe you have never thought about the satanic battle men face just because we were born men.
     This is a passage that I shared in the book, " A Struggle Not Meant For a King" that was beneficial to my life and my parents understanding of what I was dealing with at the time. The Lord showed my parents this and it was the beginning of a better relationship with them.
     Whatever the men in your life are going through, before you give up totally on them, before you call and say something negative related to their odd behavior or their bad decision making; consider this.

"Pharaoh...instructed the Hebrew midwives... to kill ...boys as soon as they were born." Exodus 1:16
Let's pray for our men!

Ever since God told satan, " I will put enmity between thee and the woman...her seed..shall bruise thy head," (GEN 3:15), the enemy 's been hell-bent on destroying men in every possible way. Males suffer more crib deaths, are more prone to heart attacks, and have shorter life spans. It's no coincidence that when a country is under attack, its enemies go after the men. By killing them, they destroy the stability of the family and ultimately the future of the nation.

Many grown men are still hurting and angry over things that happened in their childhood. Now as fathers, they struggle to fulfill a role they never saw modeled in their lives. It stops them from connecting with their children and perpetuates the cycle of alienation from generation to generation.

Anytime satan sees potential, he'll try to abort it; he can't afford to wait till its fully developed. In Exodus, Pharaoh told the Hebrew midwives, "When you see them on the birth stool, if it's a boy, kill him." (Ex 1:16 NRS). This birth stool is the same word that's used to describe a potter's wheel. So it's the process of becoming a man that the enemy wants to short- circuit! If satan can destroy you while you're still on the wheel, he's accomplished his goal. Once you're fully- grown and mature, it'll be harder to intimidate and destroy you. SO pray for the men in your life!

One key to understanding men is to understand the plot of satan that is against him. satan wants to destroy the man so he can destroy the family. Be alert and deal with It!

Dealing With It

     Do you really want to move forward this year? Do you want to see a difference in your life this year? Are you tired of being stagnant or are you content with the way things are? No matter how you answered these questions, if you want to live you have to do something. If you want to live a life more abundantly which is what is promised to us from the scriptures, you have to deal with it.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

    God has an expected end for all of us. How do we get to that place where we are receiving what HE has promised us? How do we experience the life that God has for us? How do we move ourselves from need to want to satisfied in life and Christ? Deal with It!
     Deal with the hurt. Deal with your unforgiveness. Deal with your attitude. Deal with your lust. Deal with your anger. Deal with your discouraged heart. Deal with your bad relationships. Deal with your jealousy. Deal with your pride. Deal with your habits. Deal with your marriage. Deal with your loneliness. Deal with your insecurities. Deal with your depression. Deal with your relationships with your children. Deal with it.   God heard you the first time you prayed and is waiting on you so He can bless you. The key is to get started!

" You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great." Les Brown

     Some of us have more things to deal with. Some of us are reaping the results of alot of bad decisions. The point is to not become overwhelmed but to get started dealing with whatever stands in your way. God revealed some things to me and HE allowed me to deal with them one by one. There has been no pressure from God once He revealed things for me to change about myself. I will admit I quit and gave up too many times to count but I have got back up each time. Yes, I am still dealing but now I'm dealing with God instead of hiding and acting like I have it together. Every time I get up, that's the Holy Ghost on the inside who will never allow you to fail. He has never lost. Jesus is our undefeated champion. He is waiting on us to get in the game and start winning in life. We can't win until we deal.

1 Corinthians 15:57
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

     Your attitude might be the stepping stone to your promotion. If you never acknowledge you have a bad attitude, God can't help you have a good attitude so that you can receive the promotion you have prayed for. I can guarantee it is not God that's the problem. It is our unwillingness to change that blocks the blessing and keeps us stagnant and unproductive. How do we move forward? Deal with it! In essence, do your part and God will do his part. Deal with It!

Temporary Solutions for your Resolution!

     I was addicted to pornography and bound by lust and masturbation. As this new year approached, I wanted to separate myself from this message because I wanted to be free to do what I wanted to do. I wanted to be free to slip up and do a little porn. I wanted to be free to go get and view adult materials. I wanted to be free to sin when I felt like it was okay. You see, I was addicted but something on the inside of me would not let me settle in sin.
    Something on the inside of me woke me up at 2:40 am this morning. My plans were to copy and paste a message I read from another pastor that I thought would be great and very inspiring about new years resolutions. Nothing wrong with the message but it was not what I was suppose to do today.
     I recently celebrated my 41st birthday. Every birthday is a gift. Everyday we live is an opportunity to share our gifts. As Christians, we cannot separate from the call and gifts that God has given us. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to escape from my assignment and my call because I wanted to do what "my flesh" wanted to do. How selfish of me to only consider myself?
     Pornography is an addiction. It is no different from drugs.  It will consume you and destroy your faith and relationship with God. If you watch it once a week, once a month, or once every three months, it is slowly calling you to sin to morally paralyze you. I know personally, because I was consumed in sin.
     Christians think we can sin and because no one sees us it makes it okay. It does matter to God what we do. It matters to HIM because we say all the time that God is our source but we settle for temporary solutions all the time without considering God. Pornography is a temporary solution that will lead you down a road of no self control. The bible calls it lasciviousness.
     Pornography's objective is to destroy your relationships and build false ungodly relationships and habits. We say all the time that we trust God, "Why can't we trust God with our sex life?" God created sex! The devil perverted sex. Christians like to judge other "groups" but we do alot of sin ourselves. Sin is sin in God's sight!
    This is the time to deal with it. What is really going on with you? What is really hindering you? Who is really hurting and just want something to help take away the pain? I have been there. Sex, pornography, lust, masturbation, are temporary solutions for your resolution. Someone is dealing with pain and emotional abuse, God sees you struggling!
    This message is not just for you, it is for me. I have to take heed and listen to the Spirit of God. It's God's love that has exposed me. It is God's love that has kept this message before me and is bringing it to you today. HE knows my area of weakness and my temptations and HE knows yours. You might not be dealing with fleshy sins like me. You might be dealing with spiritual sins like bitterness and resentment, pride or lying. Have you honestly ever taken the time to deal with your mess? Temporary solutions for your resolution only mean more of the same resolutions next year. No better time than the present to start working on you.
1Peter 5:7-8
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
