Hey Sisters 🌼
Tomorrow morning, as soon as you open your eyes, say: “Good morning, God. What can I do for You today? Then go into your day looking for opportunities to serve Him, honor Him, and be a blessing to someone else.

What a blessed way to start our day and make our Father God smile ☀️

Don’t LISTEN Sister!! 🚫
When we get saved and begin living our lives for the Lord, we are no longer labeled by what we did. We are now identified by who we are in Christ, our past may be part of our testimony, but it is not our identity or label. When we belong to Christ, we don’t have to keep answering to the person we used to be. God has made us NEW!! Hallelujah 🙌🏽

If we are truly living surrendered lives according to the Word of God, it does not mean we are perfect. It means our hearts, choices, and desires are being yielded to Him. That’s when the enemy will try to remind us of what we did and who we used to be. He wants to convince us that we will always be that person. But we can’t believe those lies because it will keep us bound and stuck. The word of God shows us who we are in God’s eyes and who He wants us to continue to grow into being.

“Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
-2 Corinthians 2:17 (NLT)

🙏🏽 Prayer
Father, I declare that my past does NOT define me! I am forgiven, redeemed, and made NEW in Christ. I will not answer to who I used to be. I am who YOU say I am, and I will walk boldly in my new identity! In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🙌🏽

Sisters, it’s OK to block them. 🚫📲
Sometimes as believers, we can feel like doing something to protect ourselves spiritually, emotionally, or physically is mean, ungodly, or somehow “not Christian.” But there are times when we need to remove certain people or influences from our lives. There have been times in my past (it’s been many years since I communicated with men like this) when I had to block men I had been communicating with or texting, even men I really liked, because their behaviors and words were becoming a temptation for me and were pulling me in a direction that went against how I knew the Lord wanted me to live as a Christian woman.

Then there are times when someone may not be a temptation but they may display disrespectful or inappropriate behavior that we do not allow in our lives, and so we still have to block them. We are precious daughters of the Most High God, and not everyone is allowed access to us.

This will, of course, come in most cases after you’ve already told the person to stop and they don’t. But in other cases, you may have to cut off all communication immediately if something inappropriate has happened. We always use wisdom. And if you’re not sure how to handle a situation, talk to a spiritual leader at your church.

1 Peter 2:9 (NLT)
“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession...”

Bless you,
Stephanie ❤️

Faithful in the Fire 🔥🔥
Sometimes it’s hard to see it as an honor when God allows us to go through the fire, trials, and hard seasons. But remember Job. The enemy was roaming the earth looking for someone to devour, and God brought Job’s name up. Why? Because God knew Job. He knew Job’s heart, and He knew what He had placed inside of him. Sisters, the fact that God allowed the trial doesn’t mean He has forgotten you. It may mean He knows your faith can stand in a place you never thought you could handle.

Job lost so much, but he refused to turn his back on God. He struggled, he hurt, and he had questions, but he kept his faith. So when you’re going through something and wondering, “Lord, why did You allow this?” remember this: God knew Job before the enemy ever touched him, and God already knew how Job’s story would end. God knows you too. Stay faithful in the fire.

Blessed Happy Church Sunday,
Stephanie ❤️

Hey, 💍 Future wives (& current wives), 1 Corinthians 7:1–5 gives us an important picture of intimacy in marriage. I wish I knew this when I was married 25 years ago. 😅

The Bible says its important that both the husband and wife care about each other’s needs. We should never use intimacy as punishment, to get our way, or to control our spouse. This is something that I did frequently in my marriage.

Paul tells married couples not to deprive one another unless they both agree for a short time to focus on prayer and fasting. Why prayer and fasting? Because sometimes we need to pull away from our normal routine and give God our full attention. Maybe we need direction, an answer to prayer, or we are going through something serious and need to seek God together. During that time, a husband and wife may agree to pause sexual intimacy so they can focus on seeking God. But notice Paul says they should BOTH agree, and it should only be for a time. Then they should come together again so they do not leave room for sexual temptation.

As we prepare for marriage, let’s prepare for ALL of marriage. Marriage includes loving, serving, honoring, and thinking about each other’s needs.

💕 Praying for your future husband truly shows faith if you haven’t met him yet.

SO GOOD! ❤️ I read this today…it’s from Prayers For The Soul YouTube channel.

You're frustrated because it's taking too long.
You're praying, but nothing seems to move.
And you're starting to wonder, "Did I miss God?" But no — you didn't miss Him. You're just in the middle.
And the middle always feels messy.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."
That means even the delay has purpose.
You're not stuck; you're being shaped.
The cocoon doesn't look like transformation - but that's exactly what it is.
You can't rush what God is perfecting.
You don't see it yet, but something beautiful is forming inside this wait. So stop trying to microwave what God is marinating. The slower it takes, the deeper it lasts.
Trust the process - because the God who began your story is still writing your next chapter, word by word, in perfect time.

🙌🏽 Hey sisters, did you know that after you’ve prayed and asked God for something, there is power in thanking Him DAILY for the promise in His Word before you ever see it come to pass? That is an expression of faith. You are thanking God because you believe what He said and trust Him to be faithful to His Word. That kind of faith pleases Him most!!

For example, you can pray for your future husband like this:
“Father, thank You for Your Word that says, it is not good for man to be alone. Thank You that, in Your perfect timing, my husband will find me. I trust that our relationship will be from You. Thank You that he will love me as Christ loves the Church, and that I will honor and submit to him as unto You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

“Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:24 (NKJV)

“In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 (NKJV)

If you’re a mature (in the Lord) Christian woman, do you think it’s ok to marry a man who’s a baby Christian?
