Fornication Got Me Pregnant & Alone

Blessings to all who took the time to read my post. I greatly appreciate it! SPREAD THE WORD!! Much Love to each and everyone of you..

_________________________________________________________________________________


The Holy Spirit put this in my spirit last week and I've been attempting to finish it up because I feel it's a needed message for right now. For those who read my blog or any of my writings that I post, you're probably aware that a big majority of it are my own personal testimonies and the other half is something the Lord places in my spirit that usually comes from something I've heard or watched or even from something someone has shared with me. That's just the way the Lord has chosen to use me and the way the Holy Spirit works through me. I'm very thankful for the gift!

I pray that you are very blessed and encouraged by my writing(s). All glory and praise goes to the Lord above! I'm just a vessel He has chosen to use..


Let's start with the definition of fornication: sexual intercourse outside marriage; voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried people (not married to one another).

The Bible's definition: sexual immorality; spiritual whoredom (2 Chronicles 21:10-14)


Fornication caused me to get pregnant, which resulted in me being left alone in the end You notice I said, fornication and not sex. I know that line right there went over a lot of people's heads. Married couples can legally have sex with each other in the eyes of God. I'm not married, nor was I married when I conceived my baby.

"There are numerous Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin (Acts 15:201 Corinthians 5:16:131810:82 Corinthians 12:21;Galatians 5:19Ephesians 5:3Colossians 3:51 Thessalonians 4:3Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4)."

Now, lets talk about the definition of the word alone: separate, apart, isolation from others; unique, unequaled and unexcelled.

Isn't it ironically funny and very interesting how the words separate, apart and unequal are mentioned for the meaning of the word alone? Have any of you made the connection yet?? :)

SIN separates us from GOD! "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." (Isaiah 59:2)  The Bible also says, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)


I just want to first off state that the Lord dropped this into my spirit last week, If there is anyone who feels offended by this message, TAKE IT UP WITH GOD! As my Pastor lovingly says, "I know this is God." :) My post is not to judge or attack anyone, but it was put into my spirit to share this message. This is what the Lord gave to me regarding me but I also know this is for SOMEONE else as well! No longer can we feel ashamed and hide regarding our faults and disobedience! If you have repented and turned away from these sins and asked the Lord to deliver you and help you with your daily struggle(s), YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN! The Lord convicts; the devil condemns! STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP AND DWELLING ON THOSE THINGS! Your story needs to be told to help FREE others!

Now, in regards to be being left alone in my pregnancy, it is very much true that you can be a married woman and get pregnant and still end up alone. The husband can get scared; he may not have wanted kids or be isn't for kids; he may not be working and think it's a burden because their fiances aren't right. There could be many reasons. What I believe in my heart when it concerns married couples in those situations, is that because there was a covenant and solid foundation established from the moment they said "I do", that husband, who is the father, can easily be drawn back to his wife, who is his rib, versus someone he has soul ties with.
FYI: Soul ties are very powerful and hard to break away from, but that's another story.

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO TO RELEASE, BUT I FEEL THERE'S MORE GOD WANTS ME TO ADD TO IT. UNTIL THEN, STAY STRONG IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD!

IT..WILL.GET..BETTER!!!!

God's Hand: My Personal Testimony


So, it has definitely been a long time sinceI've published any writing on my blog. I have a lot of poetry and inspirationals I've written which I've posted via my Instagram writing account, but nothing on my blog site. A lot has changed since my very last post back in January of 2014. I plan on being active with my blog account again.


As always, I am blessed by the support and I appreciate it along with the feedback. I thank God for using me to be a blessing to so many. Be encouraged in the Lord!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week Tuesday, July 7th, I had somewhat of a nervous breakdwon. It could hae been a lot worst and I anticipated it being as such, but God interceded! You know when you feel a head cold coming on and you try to remedy it right away? You buy or make sure you have your orange juice, cough drops and some soup on deck and attempt to nip it in the bud that night?! Well, I forseen myself just flipping out and just giving up. I literally felt myself no longer caring and just feeling completely helpless! "So a man thinketh, so is he."


Ironically, I did just get done praying and speaking positivity into the atmosphere regarding my situation. I was naming & claiming it..Now, either I didn't really have faith in what I was praying, I didn't pray hard enough, or the prayer(s) that I spoke was like that seed that fell on on the wayside, and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Either way, I instantly became depressed and just felt like giving up and that everything that I knew to do or was supposed to do was just not helping me in any kind of way. I felt helpless and I got scared and started worrying about how I'd be able to care for my little Prince.



No matter what I'm going through or how I'm feeling, 95% of the time, taking a shower always seems to make me feel better. Well, on this particular day, I took my shower and it didn't make me feel better, which I have had happened a few times before and I went on with my day. On this particular day, I took my shower, cleaned myself up and whatnot but afterwards, I just sat in the tub with the water runniing down on me for about a good 30 minutes.


Earlier, before I even got ready to take my shower, I just sat in my bed and I wanted my mind to wander. I just sat there and and just wanted it to just go! So, when I was just sitting there in the shower tub all of that time, that's what I wanted to happen, too! I just sat there and tried to disappear from within myself. I did cry out to God and asked Him to not let me drown. (Figuratively, not literally)
 I asked Him to save me from myself. I asked Him to come down and rescue me! I asked Him to help me and to make a way out of this situation. I kept rubbing my stomach and looking dowb at it and was thinking about my baby and still feeling helpless. After a while, I became numb again and just continued to just sit there and attempted to let my mind go one more time. I didn't want to think of anything. I didn't want to be going through what I was going through. I hated feeling helpless.



During all of that, I still managed to think of something to pray over myself. I said, "God still has His hand on me. God still has His hand on my baby. I still have a purpose." Even though I was completely lost and down and depressed, the Holy Spirit was still able to reach me! I still was able to remember one of the Lord's many promises to me. The Lord will NEVER leave me nor FORSAKE me!!!




I share this very personal, detailed, and raw testimony to say this: ENCOURAGERS NEED ENCOURAGING, TOO! People who are always smiling seem to be the ones who have the most unimaginable stories, who's smiles hold the deepest scars. There's a lot behind someone's smile. A phone call can actually save someone's life! A text message can save someone's life! A visit can save someone's life! Simply saying Hi and asking someone how they are doing and/or how their day is going can make a HUGE difference in a person's day.
I remember when Hulk Hogan was doing the new American Gladiators show wtih Laila Ali, he talked about how he was in a really bad place and was at the point of committing suicide just before his co-host Laila Ali called him on the phone. I believe he said he had a gun in his hand..


***IF SOMEONE IS ON YOUR MIND, REACH OUT TO THEM! WE MAY NOT ALWAYS KNOW WHY GOD PLACES SOMEONE IN OUR HEART OR MIND. YOU MAY JUST BE THAT PERSON WHO HAS THAT ENCOURAGING WORD THEY NEED! DON'T GO OFF OF YOUR FEELINGS & THOUGHTS. THE LORD WILL LEAD YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY IF ANYTHING. IF YOU CAN'T CALL THEM, TEXT THEM. IF YOU CAN, PAY THEM A VISIT AND LET THEM KNOW YOU POPPED UP UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THEM. IF YOU CAN PHYSICALLY REACH OUT TO THEM RIGHT THEN & THERE, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND COVER THEM IN PRAYER! LIFT THEM UP TO THE LORD AND MAKE SURE TO REACH OUT TO THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE INDEED OKAY!!!***

We all have our own personal journeys & walk that is designed specifically for us. Even though no person can walk someone's else's path, they don't have to walk it alone. At the end of the day, we ALL are trying to survive and make it one more day!!

Love on somebody today!!!! I love you and God bless each & everyone of you!!!



Stay ENCOURAGED in the Lord!!!
