Making It Plain

I believe the Lord had me write this blog in 2008 because it was going to take more research to finish the book I completed some years ago. The necessity of the blog started when I was at the library designing the cover because at the time I didn't own a computer, and a woman saw the title and asked if I was going to write a chapter on co-habitating. How many times have I used the word, gob-smacked? Clearly, along with the title of it being for singles, there was the word, Christian. Did I miss something? I paused before answering her with a resounding, of course. Then into prayer I went because how does one write about something that is clearly oppositional to what we know? So there I was staring at the title and having no clue what to write in that regard. Then I remembered the 23rd Psalms where the Lord prepared a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Aside from the questions I had asked previously (Why? Why God, why?), I needed to know where did these enemies come ...

A woman, I thought I knew, went shopping in the mall. We stopped at a perfume boutique. I was specifically looking for a scent of which I forgot the name. She was browsing and would incessantly call me to smell something she thought smelled good for herself. One aroma after another, most of her selection was the equivalence eau de (fragrance of) a horse's behind (exaggerating). As I had mentioned to her before, even though some love the scent, I do not like smelling like food. To wit her reply was, "good luck catching a man." What can one say after that? Recall that we no longer speak in that manner being Christian and all. She is Christian as well which refers back to the afore mentioned comment, of her being someone I thought I knew. Yet, it is what I believe too many women think they must have the mind stayed on a particular goal; her's being to catch a man. That was bothersome and left me speechless momentarily. Now that I think about it, isn't that why we b...

Knowing that dating has the purpose for marriage, should she assume that you are looking for a wife or would you make that known to her at the onset of the invitation? Do you think if you were forthcoming to her about your purpose it would scare her? Do you believe by not telling her right away you are  being gentle or deceitful? I write to sons of God who know who they are and what they seek. Sons of God know the importance of the anointing and they don't take what they see as precedence to what the voice of God tells them. Anyone else would dispute what they are about to read and with good reason. It is too much. But to those ready for the journey, let's go. The journey is to find what you are looking for - a wife (Proverbs 18:22 AMP). You know that in order for you to do what you've done thus far, took the anointing of God (Philippians 4:13 AMP) , right? The ability that you now have as opposed to the life you were once living, you can see the hand of God, right? So t...
