Word To My Sistas

From Boaz Ministries

Ladies, let’s talk about our girlfriends – again. In my post of August 14th, I strongly discouraged bashing our men, sharing our negative feelings, and talking personal business with the sista-friends. This is a huge pet peeve of mine because of the high disregard for the unsuspecting spouse or significant other that this type of blabbering displays. Women who complain about their men to others (male or female) are tearing down their relationships with their own tongues – allowing the enemy to have control (not to mention creating a convenient opening for the predatory clean-up woman or man). Dangerous business.

However, it is important to develop healthy friendships with like-minded women friends. Sisters who don’t deal in drama, don’t carry gossip; women of God who are real, loving, down for us, and who will hold us accountable before the Lord – are necessary. A sister in Christ, especially one who has life experiences in common with us (i.e. married or in a committed relationship ), will be there, with understanding and wisdom, to lift us up in prayer on an unspoken matter, and respect our privacy. A true sister is also one in whom we may place our confidence regarding a personal concern – something between women that is never repeated outside the “safe zone”. There is such a thing as “the sisterhood”; and it can be a powerful and positive force when we come together in the unity of Faith.

The men in our lives can usually tell if our friends are messy. And if they warn us, we need to pay attention – men are good at detecting shady females. But a man never needs to fear when Godly womenfolk gather. We want to walk upright and be good examples to our daughters and other young ladies, showing the generations following how to navigate through this life by the power of God’s love and Spirit. Our husbands will support and respect the strength of the bond of feminine friendship because of the blessings they themselves receive through our enriching interactions with our sistas.

Ladies, let's choose our friends wisely and love one another, fiercely!

Having The Lord In Your Sex Life

From  Boaz Ministries

Today’s “Prayer for my Wife” (Day 12)  is one that goes both ways because far too many couples lack physical/spiritual intimacy. Even couples strong in the Lord lack the passion and fire between the sheets that God so wants you to have. If you are truly close to God then there is no reason not to be truly close to each other sexually, having sex often, and in every way that pleases your God-given mate.

A man and a woman can be no closer than when they are in-tune with each other physically because they are in-tune with each other spiritually. I believe the Lord looks upon this closeness as the reason men are men and women are women made in his image. God is pleased that your oneness in the love of him is expressed through your physical love for each other through the acts of sexual pleasure. 

Let us not be ashamed or afraid to explore the boundless sexual universe God has given us the physical ability to explore. Let us be encouraged by his word that gives us the green light to be who we need to be sexually to our wives and husbands. 

If you are an unmarried couple having sex you may be physically satisfied some of the time, and I am not here to judge. However, you can’t even imagine the places you can fearlessly go and the levels of incredible intimacy you can achieve all of the time when God smiles on your sex life.
