Today we will talk about being Clothed With Intention. We need to get intentional about putting off the old nature and putting on the new. Proverbs 31:25 says that "She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." Make a decision with your mind to walk in security and then your actions will follow your mind and will. Then our hearts will know it and believe it. Walk in the security that Christ Jesus died on the cross to give you.

We are corrupted by our old nature that continualy wants to rule our lives. Renew your mind daily in the Truth of God's Word. Respond how a secure woman would act. "Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy." Ephesians 4:24. Let your emotions collide with what you know to be Truth from God's Word. As this collision happens then change and transformation will take place in your life and you can live as a secure woman saved from herself, entitled to truth, and clothed with intention. Not self-centered, but looking out for the interests of others as God's love overflows in your life.

Be intentional in your walk with God. Spend time with Him in His Word and in Prayer. God wants to spend time with you. God is passionate about a relationship with you.

In Christ Love,

A Secure Woman is Entitled to Truth

Tonight we will look at the second letter E - Entitled to Truth. As a child of God you are entitled to Truth. The enemy wants you to believe his lies and live in insecurity. This does not mean that you are separated from God's love because nothing can separate us from God's love according to Romans 8:38-39. But when you live believing the enemy's lies you are not living in the freedom and security that God has for you.

Addictions fuel our insecurities and keep us from an intimate relationship with God. Whatever your addiction is it takes God's Truth to defeat it. The longer we live apart from God, the harder your heart becomes and it is harder to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you.

Ephesians 4:18-19 says that "they are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more."

Addictions can be physical such as alcohol or drugs, but can also be emothional when we allow our insecurities to control our thinking. The longer we give into our addictions the harder your heart becomes and the harder it is to turn away from them. Addictions are fueled by deceit and it takes more and more as the addiction grows. The only thing that can break this cycle is God's Truth.

And as a believer in God, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, you can take God at His Word. "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24. His Word is Truth and you are Entitled to Truth. Believing God's Truth enables you to live in freedom and security. So dig into God's Truth and believe It. Then take God at His Word and live in Security. My prayer for each of you is that you will take this leap of faith and walk in the Truth you are entitled to.

In Christ Love,

A Secure Woman is Saved From Herself

Good Evening Ladies,

Are you living in Insecurity or Security?

Today we are going to talk about the S: A Secure Woman is Saved from Herself. You may ask "why do I need to be saved from myself?" The human mind is twisted by inordinate self. This means that the human mind focuses excessively on self. Everything in life curves back to us. We see this in the selfishness of people around us and in our own lives. We want to think that the world revolves around me. This brings insecurity into our lives when our needs or expectations are not met. Our minds become "full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against Him." (Ephesians 4:18) A life full of self is insecure because everyone else is focused on self not them.

After we give our hearts to God and let Him be Lord of our lives we can be saved from ourself. When we are fueled by the Holy Spirit everything looks vertical to God and out. Life is not about us. "Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy." (Ephesians 4:23-24). Everything curves toward God.

Insecurity itself is a form of pride. We are so focused on self that it feeds the insecurity. But when we look to God and believe what God says about us we are freed from the insecurity. Life is not all about us, but it is about bringing glory to God. We are set free. Security frees us to not think about ourself all the time, but to live as a secure woman in God becoming all that He has called us to be.

My prayer for each of you is "that from His glorious, ulimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him, that your roots will grow down in to God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." (Ephesians 3:16-19). And that you will put off the old nature and put on the new nature and be a Secure Woman Saved from Herself.

In Christ Love,
