Facing Our Loneliness

In times more often than I can count I've encountered various singles who have mentioned what a difficult time they're having with loneliness. Whether it be intimacy, lack of friendships, divorce or whatever facing loneliness isn't something we care to embrace. I include myself in this statement seeing that I have spent years avoiding this area in my own life. I even wrote an article about it for faithwebbin.net. Take a look at it when you have a chance!

However, the turning point came only recently as I read yet another article on ChristianSinglesToday.com. The article is entitled "Why One Isn't the Loneliest Number." I encourage you to read this article in its completeness and drop me a line with your thoughts.

Until next time!

Let's Get It Together


When my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas last month I immediately said "shelves for my garage!" Their response was silence followed by "okay..." I think they gave up trying to figure me out years ago, but for me it was a great decision. Since receiving my wonderful gift I've been on a vengence with tossing unwanted clutter. From properly disposing of excess paint to getting rid of empty boxes from household appliances that I just had to have. The end result is an organized garage that makes me proud!


This month's article with Christian Singles Today is entitled "The Messy Art of Living Alone." As singles I'm sure we can all relate to that statement. Take a look at Courtney Cameron's article and let me know what you think.

Single Parenting


Having been raised by a single parent I relate (from the child's perspective) to the difficulties often faced. Even today as a single woman with no children I find myself trying to figure out how to stretch my paycheck from one week to the next. That's why I'm thrilled to post this article on single parents and money woes. I pray this word be an encouragement to all who needs it.

Prophetic Word







Thus saith the Lord God of Hosts
unto My single believers on this day.
For many of you I have called you unto repentence
for the lives that you have been living
that is completely outside of My will.
and yet you continue to ignore Me.
Why is it that you continue to seek
what's in My Hand and yet completely
disregard My Will for your lives?
Know ye not that it is I who desires to will and do good?
Know ye not that I am more concerned with your
spiritual state than I am about your flesh?
Why is it that you continually ignore Me?
How long will you remain in the sin that you're in?
I am not at all pleased with you and yet you continue to remain
where you are.
My grace will not always strive with man
and neither will My Spirit remain upon the sons of disobedience.
Seek My Face and turn from your wicked ways.
Harden not your hearts and desire to do that which pleases Me.
Only then will you receive the deepest longings of your heart.
Learn to wait for Me and stop trying to please yourselves.
You must come out from the world and be ye seperate.
It's time out for being in church as usual.
Ye must be about your Father's business.
Ye must do that which pleases Me.
I have spoken My single beloved.
Harden not your heart and hearken unto the voice of the Lord.
Amen!

Prophetic Word


Once again the radio show is called "Empowered" which airs Tuesdays 6pm pst.


Thus saith the Lord God of all the earth
unto thee MY children is it given unto
thee this day the gift of repentence.
And I say this unto thee as well
Heed MY warning!
And do not ignore this word!
Your hearts have become hardened unto ME
and MY voice is no longer clear unto thee.
Soften your hearts, turn from your wicked ways
and only then will you hear from ME.
Stop seeking MY Hand and begin to seek MY Face.
Stop seeking man and rend your hearts unto ME.
Why have you not heeded MY warnings?
Why have you continued to do that which
is pleasing in your own sight?
On this day MY children have you heard from ME.
Surely MY grace shall not linger with you always.
MY grace, MY grace is in deed sufficient for thee
but first you must see your need for that which doth please ME
and that is a broken and contrite heart.
Oh MY children! If you only knew how much I love you!
If you only knew how I desire to bless you!
Stop living as the world and begin to hunger
and thirst after righteousness.
Stop allowing others to dictate your moves
and begin to move in the flow of the Spirit.
Where are your goals? What are your dreams? Where are you headed?
Tell ME, do you know? I can assure you that a part from ME
dwelleth nothing of any good.
I have spoken unto thee. Repent and be resored you MY single believers.
Your lives must begin to line up with MY word.
For I am coming back soon!
and I am coming for a bride that is without spot or blemish!
Amen!

Holiness - a prophetic poem to single Christians

Without ME it would not be so.
For in this, that is in this Christian life
I am all that is needed.
How can it be that you MY insignificant ones
have placed yourselves above ME?
I am all that you need.
Can there be anyone greater?
Why is it so that you have sought the love of another
so often during this life's journey?
How can it be that any other can satisfy thee?
Fulfillment MY lost sheep comes only from abiding
and walking daily, continually with ME.
How can it be that you who have sat in pews
for so many years of your life still do not know ME?
Why do you not know how much I love you?
and how much I am pleased to make you happy
if only you would hearken unto MY voice.
No one else can do these things for you.
No one else can make you happy.
Draw closer to ME
and I will draw forever closer to thee.
Seek My Face.
Hunger and thirst after righteousness
and make Holiness THE priority of your life.

Prophetic Word


This is the word of the Lord directed to the single believers within the body of Christ. First aired on my new internet radio show "Empowered" which airs Tuesdays 6pm pst.


Thus saith the Lord God of Heaven and Earth
On this day MY children have I desired to speak unto thee
regarding the issue of thy holiness unto ME.
As single Christians I must become first and of the utmost of importance in your life.
Many of you have sought to find fulfillment in the arms
of another other than Myself.
This, MY children, is not MY will for thee.
Nor is it MY desire for your lives.
Know that it is MY good pleasure to bless
each and every one of you with the best
of not only this world, but in the world to come.
This desire will not come in to fruition until
you place ME at the forefront of your life.
I have seen many of you fall by the wayside
as a result of your own bad decisions.
Repent, come out from among them and be willing
to do what pleases ME.
Only then will you find fulfillment in your hearts and lives.
Loneliness does not mean a life destined to misery.
Use this time to draw closer to ME.
And know that I will draw closer to you.
Many of you have no idea what your
Purpose, ministry or destiny is and yet you seek
fulfillment in the arms of another.
Know ye not that it is I who satisfies and not another?
Find ME! Begin to search for ME with all your
Hearts, minds and souls and know that this pleases ME.
And when I am pleased with you and your lives
MY blessings in all areas of your lives will begin to flow.
I am the Lord.
I have spoken.
Take heed MY children.
Amen!
