Be Careful What You Wish For.....(Part 1)

Because you just might get it. Is what you want in life clashing with what God’s wants for you? What is preventing you from totally receiving the lifestyle He wants for you? What we fear is that God’s plan is not as good as our own. We perceive God as the policeman keeping record of our faults and keeping us from having fun, instead of perceiving Him as our Father who has only our best interest in mind.


Trust us, we feel your pain. Our entire lives we have witnessed people living the “holy life”, and it seems like an existence void of fun, joy and happiness. We have grown up believing that everything that is good for you is boring and everything that is fun is bad for you. This is a faulty perception that we have only now just realized. God doesn’t want to keep us from fun; He wants to keep us from pain. Take sex for example. Does God (the creator of sex) want to keep you from having sex and pleasure? No. He wants to give you guidelines that shield you from danger, suffering and shame. Being promiscuous can lead to abuse, an unwanted pregnancy, STDs or a broken heart. That is why God’s intention for sex is within the safety of marriage. Another example is keeping the Sabbath. Does God want to keep you from having fun? No. God provided a day for our minds and bodies to rest from the stress and strain of work and school. But it is deeper than that, knowing that we would be consumed by the cares of this world, He created a day when we could be reminded of who made us and where we came from. God gifted us with a day to re-connect with Him and be rejuvenated.



“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” Psalms 1:1 – 3 NKJV

A Low Down Dirty Shame (Part 2)

In reference to our previous post, it was rather grim. We are not fire and brimstone kind of gals, but we wanted to convey the severity of that message, the malignancy of sin. We want to inspire you to let God exterminate sin in your life, like you would exterminate cockroaches in your kitchen.



It doesn’t mean that God does all the work. It starts with your choice. Every single time you are tempted you have to choose to let God work in you. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep and every moment in between each choice should allow God to move on your behalf.



The problem comes when we take control. We fail, because our very existence is born into sin. When we sin, which will happen and we allow the guilt to separate us from God, we are no longer abiding in God’s grace. This is the devil’s most successful and popular deception to separate us from God. As a result, every time sin is the cause for our estrangement from God, our bondage to Satan is exposed. That is why it is imperative to cling to God even more in moments of shame and weakness. For it is through a contrite heart, repentance and forgiveness that we benefit from God’s unlimited grace and we remain free in our connection to our Master.



To be bonded to Christ is the ultimate freedom. Every low down dirty shame that you accumulate is covered by the pure and perfect blood that Jesus shed for you.
