"God,I need your help!"

Hey People of God,

Yesterday, I had a very personal experience as it relates to my personal struggle, but I have decided to do my best to share it with you. Yesterday, I had to fight a strong hold. It was a strong hold that had me wishing to be dead. Now I know that most Christians have already began to condemn me as if they don’t have any troubles in life, but I have learned that the only way to be healed and completely free in life is to be honest…and yesterday, the devil began tormenting me early in the morning…. All I could see was everything that I wasn’t.

I began to cry, wishing that God would just take me out. I never fathomed taking my own life, but I just wanted God to reach down from heaven and pull me from this earth. I was hurting, and I felt so alone. Frustration rose up in me. “God!” I cried. “How can you expect me to go through this when I’m so broken and so alone?" How can you expect me to go through this when I’m so misunderstood?” I began to weep and sob. “I don’t want it,” I cried to him. “I don’t want it.”

I’m sure right now you’re thinking of all the times in your life you’ve felt like this. Right now you’re sympathizing with me. You may even think you’ve found your excuse to be sad and depressed, but my friends, I come to tell you that there is still Power in Prayer!


Even at my lowest on yesterday, I cried out for help and there was relief. I was so weak from crying, all I could manage to let out was a loud sob “God, I need your help,” and do you know that God is so awesome that He would not let me drop one more tear.

Sure, I was still down, but part of my being down was because I wanted to be down. I’ll be honest. After being pitiful for so long, I wanted to stay in self pity, but sometimes deliverance simply comes in strength. Sometimes, God says, “No, I’m not going to stop it, but I’m going to give you the strength to endure it,” and when he gives you the strength, you have to make the choice to endure.

All of life isn’t going to be easy. Sometimes, the cares of life will weigh on you so bad that you won’t want to go on, but it’s in these times that the strength of God is perfected in you.

So…friends, today, are you needing help? Do you feel like you’re at the bottom and can’t see how you’re coming up? Today, I admonish you. Don’t make that trip to the liquor store…Or don’t do like me on my worst days and make the visit to Wal-Mart and hide the bottle at the bottom of the basket because people know you are saved and you don’t want to lose your witness. After all, it’s only a temporary fix.

If you want help, cry out! Cry out to God. He may not answer your prayer by changing your situation, but He’ll take your weariness and give you strength. I pray that this has blessed you.

Take some time and mediate on today’s scriptures

Psalm 5:2 (Whole Chapter) Hear the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You do I pray.

Psalm 18:6 (Whole Chapter) In my distress I called upon the Lord and cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.
Psalm 88:2 (Whole Chapter) Let my prayer come before You and really enter into Your presence; incline Your ear to my cry!

Romans 8:26 (Whole Chapter) So too the Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

2 Corinthians 11:29 (Whole Chapter) Who is weak, and I do not feel weakness? Who is made to stumble and fall and have his faith hurt, and I am not on fire?

2 Corinthians 12:9 (Whole Chapter) But He said to me, My grace is enough for you; for My strength and power are made perfect and weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ may rest upon me!

Bedroom Ministry

Hey Readers,

This post is in response to something I came across on www.youtube.com. There was a blog bashing Prophetess Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks for speaking so openly about sex in their marriage/marriage preparation conference "Teach me how to love you." The writer suggested that the couple was going against the word of God by putting so much emphasis on sex. Huh?

Maybe they have a different version of the Bible, but the Bible I read states that the marriage bed is undefouled. In my opinion, one of the reason for divorce in the chuch (it's not the only reason, but it is one) is that Christians are too timid and shy and the women (and men) in the world are not.

Saved or unsaved, men are still men. They have desires for intimacy all day long. By not learning how to love our husbands (even in intimacy) we are giving a place to the devil. The devil will send someone else to do what you aren't doing.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not excusing perversion. The Bible says that the marriage bed is undefiled, and that means sex between you and your spouse. If you are seeking fulfillment outside of your marriage, (and this includes other partners or pornographical experieces) , it is perverted and outside of God's intentions for marriage.

God created sex for three reasons (1) for conception (2) to symbolize the unity of husband and wife (3) for husbands and wives to enjoy each other in marriage.

God gives us several scriptures in the Bible that tell us how we are to conduct ourselves sexually in marriage, and if He openly talked about it in the Word, then why can't we openly talk about it between husbands and wives in the church?

It's time out for Christians being so shy and "hush, hush" about sex. Too many covenants are being broken because of sexual dissatisfaction when God never meant for it to be so.

So...I say thank you to Prophetess Bynum and Bishop Weeks for breaking the barriers and telling us what we need to hear.

I'm in love with my husband and I want to keep him happy. I want to to romance him. I want to please him. And...I want to please God.

For the married, mediate on these scriptures:

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

1 Corinthians 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
