Single, Saved & Waiting....................

Happy New Year to all! I pray God's richest blessing for you this year! I know I've been absent for a few months, but I have been transitioning. I just finished my degree and applying for jobs, and working in my local church has kept me busy. However, you have always been in my prayers.  We are already in the third month of the year and we have gone through one of the longest month of the year, January. We have also gone through the Valentine's Day month of February. Whether you had a valentine or not, you had Jesus, which is the greatest valentine anyone can have.  As you know we always need to pray, and always have so many things to pray for. My church is starting a cooperate fast today leading up to Good Friday and I would encourage you all to jump on the bandwagon. As we pray and fast let's concentrate on praying for our governments as well as concentrate on allowing God to really change us and mold us after Him and to be more sensitive to His voice. ...

Good morning to all, Sorry I have been away for a while but I am back! I pray that September and October have been good months to you. This is the month of Thanksgiving as many tend to call it. We have so much to give God thanks for. Just being alive is a blessing!  For the month of November I want us to concentrate on corporate prayer. You may ask well what is she talking about? Corporate prayer doesn't need to be a gathering of saints praying together. No, corporate prayer is about you standing in the gap for someone. There are many prophets in the Bible who did this and we can look at the story of Habakkuk. He was one of the minor prophets in the Bible who had no sin, but prayed and begged and pleaded God for mercy, forgiveness and restoration on behalf of his people who were in exile in Babylon.  God dropped in my spirit that we need to take time to prayer for others and not just ourselves. I have been guilty of this as well. So this month let's prayer ...

Blessings to all!  I hope everyone has been doing well and hope this short piece encourages you. When you are single and you stand in so many weddings you always hear this saying, "Always A Bridesmaid, Never a Bride." Now a days it doesn't even matter if you stand in many weddings, you may be just attending many weddings of friends jumping the broom. In any event, you are never the bride and sometimes we in our single states are happy for our friends to see how in love they are, but we also sometimes allow the enemy to allow us to become jealous and the self righteousness starts to come out. Why couldn't it have been me ?  She  hasn't been obedient to your word Lord ? She hasn't been keeping herself pure for her spouse ? Father their not even saved ? After all the questions flood your mind, still the thing that you wanted the most you haven't gotten. After really thinking about it, the Holy Spirit brought the story of...

Happy April ladies! We are officially in the month where we commemorate the Lord's death and resurrection. It is so important to reflect on such an historic event because without Christ dying for our sins and loving us so much we would not have the abundant life, the many blessings and access to Him because of this event. For this month I want us not to only reflect on Christ's death and resurrection, but to pray for these three things: 1) Pray that we will learn to trust God and give EVERYTHING, and not somethings over to Him. For me it was one of the hardest things to do in my walk with God because it is hard to give over all control and not know what is going to happen ahead. But when we decide to accept Him into our lives we must submit to His will, His way and the plans He has for our lives and in order to grow and increase our faith in Him we have to trust Him more.  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry  about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, w...

I just want to take the time out to wish each and every one of the followers of my blog a Happy New Year! This year I can feel God is going to do great and marvellous things in the lives of single women hungry and on fire for Him. My prayer for you this year is that you would get closer to Him and let go of all the baggage that might be holding you back to go higher in the Lord. Let's thank God for the lessons that we have all learned in 2013 and look toward our future in which He holds.  Let's continue to trust in the plan He has for our lives.  For Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says ,  " For I know the plans  I have for you,” declares the  Lord , “plans to prosper  you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Wishing you all the best God has for you in this brand new year! Love, Raven
