WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE LONELY IN LEADERSHIP

If you are in leadership long enough, there will be days when you simply feel you are all alone and no one understands. You may feel overwhelmed. Unappreciated. Misunderstood. And alone in all of it.

A dad often shares a quieter love, marveling at his children on the inside, yet expressing it differently than mom.

A dad may act silly. Wear funny clothes. And never change his hairstyle, use the same corny jokes or actions, inaudibly enjoying the teasing it brings from his kids and because he loves the sound of his children laughing.

By: Ron Edmondson

Realize that raising godly children does not usually happen by accident. It will require proper planning and implementation.

A very young lady who was in love asked her fiancee. Girl: Tell me. Who, in this world do you love most?

Boy: You're the one I love, of course!

Girl: Deep down In your heart, what do you think I am to you?

Boy: The boy thought deeply for almost a minute and looked straight into the girl's eyes and said, "You are my missing rib. It was recorded that God saw that Adam was alone, during one of his sleeps, God took one of Adam's rib and from it, created Eve and ever since, every man has been searching for his missing rib, it's only when you find the woman of your life, you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart and I'm grateful to God because I've found you." A few months later, they got wedded. After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy married life for a while.

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise.

Ah, the beauty of God's creation is beyond description.

As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work.

As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me.

Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.

Are you looking for guidance on how to be a good Christian wife? If so, here are seven things you simply must do:

1. Pray for your husband.

The world is a difficult place for a man. They are competing in the marketplace for jobs, feeling the weight of the financial burden of providing for a family, and having to deal with many stressors beyond their control. They are also in a world that increasingly assaults their masculinity.

Shortly after the realization that i was getting divorced, i think the biggest emotional hurdle for me was fear. Fear of being in my 30s and single. It wasn't really the fear of being alone, because i have a relationship with the Lord and i have such an amazing group of supportive family and friends. It was the fear of not having a family, not being able to trust someone with my heart again, and fear of the dating game.

I see many Christians destroying themselves in the effort to find a husband or a wife. They wear revealing clothes, hang around nightclubs and feel ashamed in church on Sunday. Pain and desperation are driving them to clumsily adopt the ways of the world in finding a life partner. It can only lead to heartache and disappointment. For most of my adult life I have been single. I know that you CAN be happy and single and that it is possible to joyfully WAIT . Marrying a non-Christian is not a godly option. I won't be discussing that here as I have written a separate article on it. This article covers 14 principles for finding a godly Christian partner in this rather lonely world.

Who are you to be intimidated? To be intimidated is to be filled with fear or to be made timid. When you are timid, you lack self confidence and you become hesitant. Hesitant to launch out. To walk out the plans and purposes of God.

It's not your job to understand why others do what they do. It's not your job to figure it out. It's not your job to judge. It's just your job to love. The Bible says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Sometimes its hard to pour out love when all others are pouring out is hurt. It's hard to do for others when others are never willing to do for you. It's hard to extend your hand when others are only slapping the hand you put out to help. Nevertheless, God said to love. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop or cancel out what God has told you to do.

Learn How To React To His Goodness, His Grace, His Love, and His Mercy .... Rather Than Your Pain.....
Looking back what do you see? Do you see hurt, pain, discouragement and despair? Or do you see God? Do you see His deliverance? Do you see His grace? His Power? How about His protection?

No Need To Pretend With God.....He Loves You Just As You Are With An Unchanging Love......
Isn't it good to know that God loves you just as you are. You don't have to pretend to be something you are not. Pretense is not of God. Pretense means attempting to be something that you are not. With God .... you just are. You are His child. You are loved. You are recognized. You are prosperous. You are anointed. You are blessed.

How Do You Stay In Faith When You're Tired? God Will Not Intrude....But He Will Invade If You Let HIm In......

How do you get past where you are right now? Past the hurt? Past the pain? Past the questions and the fear? How do you get to the place of trust? The place of knowing? When there is so much going on and so much pressing against what you want to believe......how do you get to the place of unshakable and undeniable faith? The place where nothing can move you off of what you believe or what you stand for?

Expecting The Unexpected.....God Wants To Do Not Only What You Want Him To....He Wants To Do The Unexpected.....
What are you expecting from God? What if He gave you the unexpected. The unexpected increase. The unexpected blessing. The unexpected love and encouragement. All the things that you need.....and more. More of who He is. More of what He is.

What is it you are looking for? In your search.....what is it that you are seeking? Is it God? Is it His will.....His purpose.....His plan? Or is it your desires and your wants being fulfilled? We have to get to a place where God's plan outweighs our desires. Where His joy and His peace outweighs everything else in our lives.

Are You Letting Life or The Word To Define You?
Are you letting life define you? Are you letting it tell you how you should feel and what you should do? Don't!!!! Define life through God's word. Accept His word and follow it.

So often we allow our friends, our families, and our situations to define us. We are so used to following the lead that we don't understand that God has called us to be leaders. It's time to be t he leader that God equipped you to be. A leader that is lead by Him. A leader that is directed by Him. A leader that is equipped by Him.

So lay down the stuff. Let go of the stuff. Release the stuff and allow God's plan to be operative in your life by releasing what others think about you and holding on to what God has said about you.

What Are You Doing, Saying, and Believing While You Are Waiting On God's Direction?

What are you doing while you are waiting on God to speak? Are you being still? Are you still trusting? Are you believing that God will work it out? Are you believing that God has already worked it out? What are you doing?

Are you doubting and questioning God? Are you asking when God? Why God? Or why not God? What are you doing?

We have to get to a place of rest. A place of trust. A place of belief. We have to get to the place where we know and believe that our current situation doesn't limit our Almighty God. We have to get to that place and we have to stay there.

Establish your trust today. Let it be unshakeable and unmovable. Let it be established on God's word. For His word is our promise. Be still and know today that He is God.

We Have Many Options ... But Only One Option Leads To Eternal Life

We all have options. Option is defined as the power or right to choose. It is the freedom of choice. The question is ... what are you choosing? The ultimate question is are your choices reflecting who God is or who you want to be? Before we can make the right choices, we must first understand that this life is not about us. It is about reflecting the Father. Understand He created us in His image and after His likeness for a reason. So that we can reflect His image and be like Him. We have to stop trying to create our own image.

God created you and yes He gave you the power to choose. But understand ... His desire is that you choose Him above the people, the places, and the things. Look at all your options and notice only one option leads to eternal life and that is the God option.

Will You Be Extreme For God Today?

What is the "extreme" thing that you are doing for God today? Extreme means reaching a high or highest degree. It means excessive. When something is excessive, it is more than what is necessary. What is it that you are doing for God today that goes beyond your norm? To some people the norm is just saying thank you. To some people the norm is saying the Father's Prayer. No one knows your norm but you and God. The things you normally do. Are you willing to step out on faith and push beyond your norm today. To go into the realm of the unknown. To pray like you never have before. To worship like you never have before. Maybe you have never shared your faith. Are you willing to do that today? What is it that you can do today that you haven't done before.

Miracles are still happening! Twenty-one-year-old Adora Ugwu is planning to be a soldier. She also wants to secure admission into one of the country’s tertiary institutions. She had put her hands on the plough of her latter dream by writing the last UMTE.

What is it about God that you just don't understand? Do you not understand that He is holy and righteous? Do you not understand that He is all powerful and all knowing? Do you not understand that He is the healer? Do you not understand that He will deliver you? Do you not understand that He is your strength when you are weak? Do you not understand that He is your peace in the midst of the storm? Do you not understand that He is your source and your supply? Do you not understand that it is in Him that you live, breathe, and have your being? Do you not understand His grace and His greatness? Do you not understand His love and His mercy? Do you not understand His power to set you free? Do you not understand His blood that saved you? Exactly what is it about God that you don't understand.

Take hold of the scripture today. Medidate on Proverbs 4:7 .... Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Understanding is defined as comprehension and personal interprestation. Get to know God for yourself. Understand who He is ..... so you can tell someone else what you know.

What Does It Mean To Be Holy, Pure, and Acceptable? Don't Allow The Things Of Your Past To Be A Stumbling Block For Your Future

What is it that you are thinking on? What is it that you are doing? The Bible is clear. Have you taken the time to read what it says in Philipians 4? What is it that you are rejoicing in. To rejoice means to gladden or delight oneself in something. Is the source of your delight Godly or is it even of God? Are you allowing the peace of God to bring tranquility to your soul? To your mind .... to your will ..... and to your emotions. We have to be careful and make sure that the things that we are finding our delight in are of God. Remember the devil knows the things that have proven to be a stumbling block in your past. The seeds that were planted and that would try to spring forth in your now (which was then your future).

Today Father we come before you confessing your word. Confessing who you are in our lives. Not only do we ask you in ..... but today we "speak" you into our lives. Into our situations. Into to our hopes and into our dreams. For our hopes and dreams are nothing without you. Father no longer will we contend with your word .... but we will understand that it is by you that we live, we breathe, and we have our being.

God's grace is sufficient. Sufficient means "as much as needed". You have to know that the Grace of God is more than enough to help you through whatever you are going through. There are many definitions for grace .... but one definition says that grace is God's unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification. So think about it ..... God has given you unmerited divine assistance to help you through the process of sanctification. All that you need .... He has already provided.

What differentiates you from the world? What is the noticeable difference between you and the world? How are your thoughts different from that of the word? How are your actions different from that of the world? Is the word of God really being effective in your life? Do you take the word as final authority for what you do and what you say? Or do you read it and pick out what sounds good and what feels good to your flesh to do? What do you think you are accountable for? Part of what God has said or all of what God has said?

To be bold. Do you know what it means to be bold? The word bold means not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring. Understanding that the Bible says in Proverbs 28:1 … “The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion”. Are you being bold for God? Are you stepping out on faith and believing God in the face of the enemy? Or are you walking in fear of what others will say, do, or think regarding your stand and your belief?

It's Time You Begin To Exercise Your Faith In The Safety Of God's Word ...
What is it that you are running on? Are you running on shaky ground or are you running the road of God’s word. We have to begin to shape up. We can start by exercising our faith. Running is a part of exercise. But we have to understand … when we exercise … there is a right way to exercise and a wrong way. We need to step into the safety of God’s word as we exercise our faith. We need to base our faith on what He has said and not just what we want.
When we base our faith strictly on our own desires … we set ourselves up for faith failure. God wants us to see our faith grow to completion. He wants us to be full of faith and strong in faith. Take time to make sure your exercise routine is based on the word of God. Understanding there is safety in the word.

Are You Ashamed To Tell Your Testimony? The Whole Purpose Was So You Can Help Someone Else

What are you doing with what God has given you? The knowledge and the understanding. The insight into who He is and what He has done. What are you doing with the testimonies that He has given to you? Are you sitting on them or are you sharing them? Are you allowing the victory from your trial to be the pavement for someone else to walk on? Understand it is much easier to walk on a paved road than through rocks. Help someone today to walk into their destiny without having to climb over the rocks of life. Those things that try to block and to hinder them from getting to their destination in God. That is what your testimony is for. It is to help pave the road for someone else. Share today what God has done for you. Let someone else know that He is real and that He really will work it out for them. Open up your mouth. Share your story. Don't be ashamed of what you have went through ... it was only to get you to this point to help someone else.

Do Your Really Understand How Much God Loves You?

Do you really realize just how much God loves you? How much He cares for YOU? It’s easy to believe that God loves others …. But do you truly understand His love for you? So often it is hard to believe God’s power and God’s grace. We get so caught up on our past that we think our past hinders us from receiving God’s grace. Not true. God said His grace is sufficient. Sufficient means it is more than enough. It covers all. It does mean that His forgiveness only covers part of what you have done done. Some tend to think that the mistake they made is too much for God to forgive. Understand at that point, you are only holding yourself captive.
It is time to release whatever is holding you captive. Whatever mindset you are holding on to … let it go. These are just disruptions to your walk with God. Don’t allow your walk to be disrupted by things that God has already shed blood over. Recognize the patterns of life. Life will sometimes form a pattern to try to make you believe differently than what God has said. It goes back to being led and ruled by the word and not by situations and emotions.
When you truly understand God’s love for you …. you can truly walk in God’s word He gave you without the feeling of condemnation.

Are You Tired Yet? Are You Ready To Give It All Over To God?

The question for today is .... are you tired yet? Are you ready to give it all over to God? God is a gentleman .... He is not going to just take something from you. Usually if we keep a thing it is because we want it. Think about that. All the hurts, all the pains, all the disappointments that you are still holding on to. We hold on to

Preparedness....
To be in a state of readiness. Are you prepared? You say you want God to move you ... to elevate you .... But are you really ready? Are you ready for the battles that might come because the enemy knows you are getting closer to God? Are you ready to stand no matter what? You say or said that you want to be married. But are you willing to fight for the marriage that God has given you or will give you? Always understanding that a house divided will fall. Are you willing to do what it takes to eliminate division in your house? How about the job that you have been asking God for? Are you really ready for the responsibility that will come along with the promotion? And what about the return of Christ .... is your life and love walk in line with God's word? We have to become prepared. Are you really ready for the next level God is taking you to?

Every level that you go to, is a different level where you should display who you are in God. Your faith is on display. Your walk is on display. How you talk is even on display. You are a representation. The question is .... are you allowing people to see the beauty inside of you? The God in you? The love in you?

Take time to prepare yourself. To empty yourself of any and all things that do not benefit your Kingdom walk. Fill yourself with His word and allow the fruit of His word to be made manifest in your life.

Let The Guard Of Your Spirit Stand Up When Things Try To Penetrate Your Flesh

Let The Guard Of Your Spirit Stand Up When Things Try To Penetrate Your Flesh...

What is "wowwing" you and causing you to be distracted? When something "wows" you .... it carries within it an element of pleasure and surprise. What is it about this world that is surprising you to the point of distraction and disobedience? We have to be careful about the things we are drawn to. We have to understand that the enemy knows our weaknesses. He knows the things that entice our flesh. Your weakness is in your flesh. That is why it is so important to gird up your spirit. To fill it with God's word. There should be a guard that stands up in your spirit that is based on God's word. That will intervene the attack. That will say ... hold on ... wait a minute. That's not what God said. Now the question is .... are you strengthening that guard. Are you pouring the word into your spirit so that it is available when something comes against your flesh? Or are you taken off guard and adhering to the distractions of the world?

There are many things in life that are enticing or that cause a struggle. However, you are called to overcome them all. Let your pleasure be in God and let your elements of surprise come when you see Him so awesomely bless your life.

Understand That You Are God's Renovation Project

Understand That You Are God's Renovation Project .... He Is Continually Renovating Our Lives.

Do you ever feel as though you overcome one challenge and there another one is to take its place? Do you find your self asking "why God"? God wants you to know that the challenges are only meant to build you up. Isn't it funny .... because when you are going through you feel as though it is the challenge that is tearing you down. Understand anytime you do a renovation project .... there are some walls, floors, etc. that have to be torn down and out BEFORE you can build anything back up. There are also some projects that seem to take more time than others. Renovating. Understand that God is continually renovating our lives. We ask Him all the time ... refresh me Lord. Restore me Lord. Remake me Lord. That's what He is doing. He is putting you back together again.

Don't be overwhelmed with the process. Just get in place so that you can be overtaken with the result. A life that is complete and refurbished by Him. Remember everything about God is new. His mercy, His grace, His peace, His power .... nothing in God grows old. Also understand that everything about God is available to you. For YOU are His dwelling place and He sees what needs to be changed, fixed, and restored. Amen

Do You Understand The Difference Between Patience and Longsuffering?

Patience Deals With You .... Longsuffering Is A Result Of Enduring The Actions Of Others.

God has told us to be patient and He has also told us to be longsuffering. It's easy to think that they both mean the same thing. But they don't. To be patient means to endure. It is the ability to wait without becoming annoyed or anxious. It is primarily dealing with self. Whereas longsuffering in most cases deals with the actions and attitudes of others. How you endure their actions. How you wait and not become annoyed or anxious with others. It is patiently enduring wrongs and difficulties. Wrongs and difficulties are things that people do to you.

Understand today that God wants you to be both patient and longsuffering. It's not easy to do. It's not easy to overlook or should I say endure what others are doing to you that you feel is wrong. It's not easy to wait on what you are believing God for. But still .... it is required. It is what God is telling us to do. We have to learn how to step outside of self. How to step outside of what we want or what we think we deserve. After all..... it's not about us. The walk that we are walking and the talk that we are talking is a supposed to be about God. About His love and about His plan of salvation. It is only when we direct it to us and about us that we become impatient or hurt. Patience and longsuffering comes when you realize that what you are doing and how you are living is for God and in God.

Can People Who Come Into Your Presence Drink From The Overflow Of God Upon Your Life?

Are you allowing the love of God to flow through you? You are a vessel to be used by God. When people come in contact with you .... they should be able to drink from the fountain of life that flows from you. They should be able to drink words of encouragement. They should be able to drink words of peace. They should be able to drink love and gratitude from you. The fountain of God should be continuously flowing from your life.

If you are not overflowing with love, peace, joy, and goodness ..... what is coming from you? What are people getting when they encounter your presence? Are they getting the overflow of your stress and distress? Are they getting the overflow of your worry and your doubt? If they are not getting the love and the peace of God from being in your presence .... then maybe you need to spend more time with God. Allow Him to fill you to the point of overflow .... so that the overflow can counteract your circumstances.

Be the fountain you were created to be .... so that when people who are hurt, sick, and lonely come into your presence ..... they will be covered by the overflow of God that is coming from your life.

Are You Trying To Separate The Blessing From The Son?

If it was your birthday and you were given the greatest gift of all .... how would you react? That thing that you have wanted so long and you thought was out of reach ..... what if you got it? What would be your response?

Understand today .... God has given you the greatest gift of all. He has given you eternal life through His Son .... so what is your reaction? Is it a reaction of praise and thanksgiving or stillness and complaints about what else you think you need? Isn't it funny how we have the ultimate gift and yet sometimes we constantly talk about what we don't have? When will we get to the understanding that God does not give us things bit by bit. He has already given us everything we need. The problem is ... we haven't learned how to access the things that are contained within the gift.

We have to get to a place of understanding that everything we need is within the seed of His Son. We need to stop looking for things to come. When we do that we are trying to separate the blessings from the "Son". We have to understand that the blessing is in the gift of His "Son". As we honor, respect, and acknowledge the Son.... the gifts that are contained within the blessing of the "Son" are opened up, revealed, and poured out upon our lives.

How do I cultivate the faith of God that is within me?

Q. How do I cultivate the faith of God that is within me?
A. As a born-again believer, you have residing within your spirit the faith of God. You have the life and nature of God. Faith is a fruit of the reborn human spirit (Galatians 5:22). Your faith has the potential to produce the same results that Jesus produced in His earthly ministry (John 14:12).

Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God? See proof from the life of Jesus Christ and why it's not blind faith to believe in him.

By Paul E. Little

It is impossible for us to know conclusively whether God exists and what he is like unless he takes the initiative and reveals himself.

Q: "Why are there no clearly visible miracles today that shout -- without a shadow of a doubt -- to everyone in the world: 'There is a God!'?"

our A: Many of us want strong, even overwhelming reasons to believe in God. Oh, there are strong factual and philosophical reasons to believe (see the section God's Existence).

Q: "Is there really a heaven? What is heaven like and where is it? Will I get to see all my family and friends that are gone?"

our A: Yes, there really is a heaven.

Q: "I have found happiness in my life. Why do I need to derive a sense of purpose and happiness from the concept of a 'divine being'?"

For my whole life I have had a strange obsession with supernatural things. I even tried to get out of my mother's womb on Halloween night but ended up being born on All Hallows Eve (Nov. 1) almost twenty-one years ago.

As children of God we find comfort within the arms of God. When all seems lost all we have to do is call to Him and He will comfort us hold us and love us. He wants the best for us, He wants us happy, healed and whole in every aspect of life.

There is hope, don't let your heart be discouraged when things seem out of hand. I know that at times our hearts can becomes discouraged when there is so much going on. But hold on to that dream of becoming that person you wish to be. Hold on and remind yourselves that you will overcome the struggles you face today. There is always a new day and there is always tomorrow to begin again. Find that vision within your heart and don't let go, see it, believe it and you will be it. Hold on to the vision of who you want to be and who you would have been without the pain. It's not far away, it's at hands reach.

More to life: three people share where they found fulfillment, acceptance, and purpose in life.

Have you ever felt there must be something more? Something beyond merely existing? The following are some straightforward accounts that offer opinions about real life and God's role in it.

What's wrong with the world? Why can't we have world without evil and suffering?

What if someone said, "I don't think there are any good movie directors, because all the movies I see are lousy." That's a somewhat logical argument, right?

By Perry Marshall

I am a black African American woman that has been learning about marine spirits over the internet, mainly through YouTube and Googling the term. After doing my research, I am concerned that I may have been influenced by these spirits. Let me tell you my story.

First of all I was born in a city by a river and a great lake. The city's name means ‘river of life’. As a child, I was sexually molested by my dad’s friend, and being very cautious, I was successful in avoiding any further molestations, but I recalled proclaiming that I would never allow that to happen to me again, and that no man would control my life. I was very confused about the man that molested me because prior to the molestations, I was very fond of him. Our birthdays were 1 day apart and we would celebrate our birthdays together and he spoke very highly of me to my parents who were clueless about what happened. I was too afraid to tell them because I thought it would break up their friendship. Our families were really close and we were raised alongside their kids. As a child I was very sensitive and suffered from nightmares and people wanting to bully and beat me (almost always a boy). My parents shielded me a lot, but it still didn’t stop someone from violating me right under their nose.

When I became a teenager, many teenage boys pursued me, but I rejected them and would not have any intimate contact with them at all. I felt the power that I had because I would not yield to the temptations, and somehow it became perverted. I remember driving to the river as a teen late at night. I loved to go when it was foggy and I felt peace there. I would throw rocks in the river and listen for the plop of the rock hitting the water through the dense fog. As years went by I would bring my boyfriends there at night in the fog and remark that this was my favorite thing to do. In my early and mid twenties, many exemplary men approached me and wanted to marry me, but I could not commit even though I would tell them I loved them (which I meant). I recall my pastor saying that all the single men that come to the church inquire about you and you only. He asked me why I would not marry the guy I was dating but I had no answer for him. I retained my virginity for quite some time, and when I fell into fornication, the young man cried and begged me to marry him but I could not bring myself to marry. He even repented to my parents, professing that I was the only woman he loved, and to this day is he has never married but professes that he has only loved me. Years went by and I turned down over 10 engagement rings. I was starting to realize that something was wrong with me.

Over the years, I have run across several witches and demonically possessed people. The church that I attended was a deliverance ministry and I was active in the street outreach ministry. We delivered many people in their homes. People involved in witchcraft would be drawn to me and they would tell me I had many angels around me and that I was strong in the spirit. At first it intrigued me but then I came to resent it because it would bring them to me.

I have been sexually assaulted four times since I was a child, including by the man I married. All of the men assaulted me because I did not want to sleep with them. I did not call the police because I did not want to be bothered. I had moved from my home town, and to the city. Two months later I met my ex-husband that convinced me to allow him to come over my apartment where he assaulted me. After the incident I went into a deep depression, and having remembered going thru a purity ceremony where I wore all white and vowed to stay pure until marriage and allow God to be my husband until then, I did not want to break my vow so I reluctantly married him. He was a street man. Although he worked and took care of me, he was a drug addict and would leave for days on drug binges. He would never allow his seed to go in me, and although as a child I said I wanted many children, I came to not want kids, and he didn’t want any either. After attending a Christian drug rehab program for several month’s he came home and we conceived our son. Things were awesome at first but then they got really bad. He loved his son but he kept going back to drugs. We had a nice home and new car but we ran into financial problems due to his addictions. I borrowed several times from my family and he from his. My mom finally said she had no more to give us but asked my brother to help. My brother who is a minister said he would only pay for me to come home. So reluctantly I left everything to come back to my parents home. I did not have confidence in the love I’d learned to have for my husband or the hope that he would overcome his drug addiction. I would tell him I hated him and wished he would die. He would say that I was not loving him enough even though I would try to do everything to please him. We would argue and our baby would get upset over it. We went to counseling and he told the counselor that he would never change and that he wanted his own separate life. The counselor advised me to leave him because he was not willing to work on the relationship and we were inevitably divorced. I do however regret leaving him alone and taking his son to another state. I wonder if that was the only choice I had. However, he was slowly separating from me and his son and wanted to party and hang out with his friends. Drug dealers were coming to our home to get their money, and having a young baby, I could not risk staying there.

My ex-husband is French Creole. The Creole people of Louisiana are known to practice witchcraft, and he told me that his mother used witchcraft to keep his father. When we divorced he was very angry with me, and he said he would pay a witchdoctor in Louisiana to kill me. After 6 years, he will not talk much to me and when he does he uses very abusive language. He does not talk to our son.

After my divorce I got involved with a man from Haiti. I fell into intimate sin with him briefly, but fought my way out of it. He hid it from me, but I later learned that he was heavily into witchcraft, and used charms, dolls, and mediums. He would know my past and every move without me telling him. He began to tell me that he saw a lot of water around me and that wasn’t good. I had a lot of blue décor in my apartment and he would ask why do you like blue? He told me about mermaids and sea spirits and said they were real. I just thought that he was primitive and didn’t think much of it. Somedays he would tell me not to drink water. I cut him off because he became very obsessed with me and I knew that what he was saying was not from God. He too told me that there were lots of angels around me.

After him, every man that approached me was extremely perverted, had filthy mouths and was into Indecency. Doctor’s had to surgically remove blockages in my uterus, and they say that my hormones are low which indicate that I may never have kids. Men want to date me and immediately speak filthy to me, and I am back at square one not wanting to marry them, but now I can say that I would like to marry someone and perhaps have another kid for the first time in my life. I used to be embarrassed and ashamed of love and could not admit that I was in love to my parents and friends. I realize that this spirit that has been on me has wasted half my life and I would like to be free. Please pray that I am totally delivered.

IDENTIFY THE ACTIVITIES OF MARINE SPIRITS

When you hear marine, the first thing that comes to your mind is water or river. You are not wrong, marine spirits are water spirits or spirits that comes and dwells in the river. Beloved they are real, they execute their plans by possessing either a man or a woman. The marine kingdom is one of satan's department headed by a queen, popularly known as the queen of the coast. The earth is divided into the air, the land and the sea. When God made man in Genesis, He gave him dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28. God will never ask man to dominate his fellow man, so what God meant was that man will have dominion over the spirits in the sea(marine spirits), spirits in the air(witch craft spirits), and on land.
