Need a Self Esteem Makeover? Seek Him, Not Them

I am amazed and angry about the many magazines I see while standing in the check out line.  Seems like there is a conspiracy to destroy the self esteem of women.    The front covers continually inform us that we are overweight, out of shape, we need make up, we need to change our style, we're lousy at sex, we can't get a man, etc.  The more they tear up our self image, the more money they make.  Who are these people to tell us who or what we should be?   They know nothing about us!  These peoople are not God!  Your Heavenly Father created you and knows you.  Seek Him on how to improve yourself.  He is the one who will make you over.  Ps. 139 - You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

What Are You Craving?

Why are you empty inside?  Why do you feel that something is missing?  What are you craving?  Is it food, sex, money, material wealth?  Even if you acquire these things, it will not be enough.  The craving will not be satisfied.  Your spirit is craving.  Your spirit is starving.  You take care of the physical and soulish part of you, however, you neglect the spiritual.  Just as we yearn for our earthly father, your spirit yearns for your heavenly Father, the one who created you.  Your spirit is crying out for His spirit.  Your spirit is yearning for fellowship with God. 

He is your creater.  He formed and placed destiny in you.  He knows your end from the beginning.  He has planned your outcome.  He has abundant life for you.  Do you want it? Or do you want to continue to do things your way?  Craving all the wrong things and suffering the consequences.  Satisfaction will only come to pass by submission to Him.  Seek His Way.  He knows what you crave and only He can satisfy it.  Jesus is Your Savior.

Pieces of You

With each sexual encounter, the man deposits pieces of himself within you, both physically and spiritually.  He also takes a little of you with him.  Pieces of you are scattered among every man you have slept with.  Think about it.  If he has slept with others, pieces of them are deposited in you!  Ugh!  The word of God says that in a sexual relationship, the two become one.  You have become one with every man you have slept with and every other woman he has slept with.

Ever wonder why you start to do things that are out of your character?  Something was deposited in you.  What about those perverted thoughts?  What about lusting after a married man?  Rage?  Promiscuity? Suicidal?  Murderous thoughts?  Something was deposited in you.  I can go on and on.  I think you get the picture. 

The word says, "Flee fornication.  Every sin a man doeth is without the body; but he that committs fornication sinneth against his own body" - I Cor. 6:18.

Every man that you have slept with has control over your body and spirit.  I received a revelation of this some years ago.  When I commited my life to the Lord, I ceased all sexual activity.  Now, it wasn't easy at first.  However, you can live without sex.  Although I had stopped the physcial aspects of sex, the spiritual was still there.  There were times when I would have dreams about previous sexual partners.  Sometimes the dream would involve guys I hadn't seen or thought of in years.  Here's what my Father revealed to me:  Each time any of those men thought of me, their spirit searched for me seeking to fornicate with my spirit.  Gross!  I cut off the physical, but I hadn't dealt with the spiritual!

How did I break from this mess?  It wasn't easy for me.  My deliverance involved much spiritual warfare (prayer) and the blood of Jesus.  I spent a lot of time in the word of God, cleansing and purging my spirit.  I knew that I couldn't fight this alone.  I enlisted the help of women I trusted to pray for my deliverance.  It took some time, however, the spirits of those men were detached from mine.  I retrieved my pieces.

You were designed to be with one partner in marriage.  The two shall become one.  When you read Matt. 19:4-6, Mark 10:7-9, Eph 5:30-32 you will see that when you join with someone physically, you become one flesh and one in spirit.  So according to the word of God, many sex partners = many husbands!
