Wait and Don't Give Up!

Waiting on something that one really wants requires plenty of patience and discipline.  Many single Christian women are waiting on that special man that seems like it is taking forever for him to find her.  Proverbs 18:22 (KJV) reads- Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
In order for something to be found, it must be in a place not easily accessible; a hidden place. Women that are a part of God's Kingdom are to keep themselves chaste and set apart from the world.  They don't conduct themselves like those in the world as the world's philosophy is "go after whatever you want."  They don't bring attention themselves by dressing loosely and provocative. A "REAL MAN OF GOD" will not allow himself to be lured by the trappings of a big butt and a smile, remember that girl is poison.  What are you doing while you are waiting?  It is very important to keep your mind clear from the devices that the enemy will surely place there.  It is also important to guard your heart and not allow it to continually lead you into places where you and it should not be. Also be very careful of where you spend your time and how you carry yourself.  Find yourself diligent in the things that pleases God while He is preparing you for what and whom He has prepared for you.

Here are some important things to do while waiting:

1. 2 Corinthians 10:5 reads - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that comes to exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.  The enemy is going to constantly bring images of the past of those you were in a lot of love with; those you had a crush on or even one you are attracted to. These images will not be ones that are honorable to God.  They will be perverted and very displeasing.  Rebuke and cast those thoughts down and bring them into the obedience of Christ by His Word.  Plead the blood of Jesus over your mind and thoughts.  Be careful what you allow your mind to focus and stay on.
2. Jeremiah 17:9 reads-  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?  The heart is the seat of our emotions.  It has led us into some very hurtful places.  It has caused one to trust when there was none; believe when there was nothing but lies; and to give those things that are most precious of ourselves away.  The enemy will always keep you on a path that he knows your heart is weak to.  We must give total control of our hearts to Christ in order to be prepared to wait on God and what He has ordained for us.
3. Romans 12:1 reads- I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  Just as Christ presented His body as a living sacrifice to atone for all of the sin of mankind, we too must present our bodies back to God which is the least we can do considering what Christ did to redeem us back to His Father.  Our bodies were not created to be instruments of sin.  Sexual immorality is one thing that has separated many from God.  Sexual sins are the only sins committed against our body as these sins causes one to be linked with souls ties.  Souls ties are very damaging as the soul that you have attached yourself to could be attached the souls of many others.  Whatever bondage that person had, has now been attached to you.  Soul attachments separates one completely from God and He knows the danger of one's soul connected to that of another.  God created all men for His glory.  We were not meant to demean or partake in any activity that will bring shame to God and defame our temple. 

In summarizing all of the above, while waiting it is very important to guard your thoughts and what you allow your mind to linger on.  Remember to immediately cast down those imaginations (deceptive fantasies) and high thing (deceptive reasoning) that come to elevate itself against that which you know is not pleasing to God!  Guard your heart by giving it completely over to Jesus Christ.  Don't continue to allow your heart to take you back to where your flesh has deceived you.  Last but not least, your were created for God and his Holy purpose. Remember, "but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.  This is a great advantage afforded to you just by waiting. This strength is one that can only come from God himself which is rewarded to those that just wait.......
