Hello Ladies. I hope you are having a blessed day. I hope you can all forgive me for being so lack last week in getting the studies posted. We lost a dear friend last Tuesday and it was a shock to us. But I still should have gotten these done.
I don't know if any of you noticed that I edited my profile, but I want to share something with you all, before we get started with the lesson. God laid it on my heart to beging a women's ministry. The name of this ministry is ~A Heart Adorned Women's Ministry~. I got the name from a picture I seen. I believe God allowed me to see that picture. This ministry is in no way about me. I have felt led to begin to reach out to women, to pull them together. I want to reach all women, not just those in the ministry but those are who are hurting, confused, lost, scared, those whose husband's may not be their spiritual leader, those who are not married, ALL WOMEN of ALL WALKS of life. I am just going to let God lead me and guide me in this new direction.
What is it all about? How are you going to reach them?
God has begin to open up new places for women conferences. I will continue doing these bible studies, I will minister to them however I can, whenever I can, however, whenever God opens up a door, or a way. Eventually I would like to have a Team of saved, blood bought, Holy Ghost filled women working with me. There are some things I am still praying about.
Ok, now for the Lesson. It's not over a spacific woman today.
Psalms 4: 1
HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
vs 3. But know that the LORD hath set apart for him that is goldy for himself; the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Aren't you glad to know that God has set us apart and that He will hear us when we call? I know sometimes it feels like our prayers aren't getting any higher than the ceiling. Sometimes it seems like that when we are in our midnight hour, that no one can hear us, that we're all alone. But vs 3 says the LORD will hear me when I call unto him.
Ok, so you have to admit that we women are emotional. We get agrivated when we think someone isn't listening to us. We get upset....they don't care what I have to say, they aren't listening. Why doesn't anyone listen to me? We have all been there, some of us on a daily bases....lol.
GOD is listening. GOD hears us! GOD sees us! He may not move when we want Him to, but He's an on time God! He promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. Thank the Lord for that promise. Aman!
We dont' always understand why God works things out the way He does. It's not for us to understand. But it is for us to give Him thanks! The bible says He works all things out for our good. Not how we want them, for our good!
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for the good to those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose.
I want to be called to God's pupose, not my purpose.
Just take joy and have peace in knowing that yes, God hears you. God loves you with a love that you or I can not even begin to fathom. Take peace & comfort in that.
Remember when things get a little to hard to bare, you get a little weary, and God knows we all do, we have a hiding place in Him, where we can get strengthened back up and face another day, another battle. Because the Victory's already been won.

~A Heart Adorned Women's Ministry~
*a heart andorned with God*
Evang. Patti Smith
A bible study aimed at women, for women. Let's learn how to grow in God, to step up to who God has called us to be. We will talk about the women of the Bible, and discuss womanly things, and how God is in charge of it all!
1. Delilah weaved Samson's hair into seven locks and fastened it with a pin. Samson fell asleep on her knee she called for a Philistine man to shave off the seven locks.
ReplyDeleteJudges 16 verses 13,14,19
2.The Philistines wanted her to find out Samson's strength and for money. Judges 16:5
3.Delilah began to torture him and he lost his strength.The Philistines poked out his eyes and throw him in prison.Judges 16:19-21
4.No she was not a God fearing woman.
Alot of people today have the attitude Delilah had. Attitude od greed only thinking of themselves. She was not thinking about the results for Samson or the pain from her actions. She was just looking at a way out for her.
I was like that in my past but thank God His LOVE changed me. Now by no means am I perfect I still fall and stumple. I have to ask God's forgiveness and even people.
Sister Patti, I Thank God for women like you. I'm praying God will richly bless you and your ministry. Love ya
