Wives…

If you’ve been feeling pressure, heaviness, irritation out of nowhere…
like something is off in your home…

pay attention.

Because in the garden, the serpent didn’t go after Adam first.

He went after Eve.

Not because she was weak—
but because she was strategic.

He knew if he could touch the heart…
he could influence the head.

⸻

The enemy still operates the same way.

If he can distract you…
discourage you…
get you emotional, offended, or spiritually drained…

he doesn’t have to fight your husband directly.

He just disrupts the one assigned to cover him in prayer.

⸻

Wife… you are not just his partner.

You are his intercessor.

You are the one who can stand in the gap when he’s tired.
You are the one who can war in the Spirit when he doesn’t even see the attack coming.

📖 “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous woman availeth much.”
— James 5:16 (adapted emphasis)

⸻

This is why the hits feel personal.

This is why the attacks feel emotional.

This is why some days you don’t even recognize yourself.

Because if the enemy can get you out of position…

he can create chaos in everything connected to you.

⸻

But let me remind you who you are.

You are not fragile.
You are not clueless.
And you are definitely not powerless.

📖 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…”
— Ephesians 6:12

This isn’t a bad mood.
This isn’t just stress.

This is spiritual.

⸻

So instead of reacting…

intercede.

Instead of arguing…

pray.

Instead of withdrawing…

cover him.

⸻

Because a praying wife is more dangerous to hell
than a silent one is to her marriage.

And the enemy knows it.

⸻

You don’t fight your husband.

You fight for him.

And when a wife gets in position…

hell doesn’t stand a chance.

Things I’ve learned in my walk with Christ…

God doesn’t want or need your money.

The bigger the building..the weaker the message.

Some of the most judgmental, closed minded people are Christians.

You can’t grow in Jesus if you’re not teachable. This is a lifetime thing….

Denominations are straight from the devil to weaken the body of believers.

People love to point at “Hell bound” sinners but don’t like to help them find Christ.

Some of the most powerful testimonies you’ll ever hear come from people with tattoos and track marks.

Your circle matters.

We’ve been lied to about basically everything…including modern church.
Do some homework.

If you’re not struggling as a Christian, check your self.
There are battles daily!

Your job isn’t to convince them..it’s to tell them.

You will fail God daily.

I will never love like Jesus..but I should try.

You will suffer for your faith.

Demons are real.

You won’t hear messages like this in church.

The enemy’s strategy in this hour is simple, he wants you to settle for Ishmael.

In the tension of waiting, in the stretching of days, months, or even years when it feels like nothing is happening, he will always present a counterfeit.

He will whisper alternatives that appear good, that feel almost right.

He will show you doors that are open, yet not appointed by God.

He will tempt you to step into a life, a relationship, a decision that is not your promise, but a shadow of it.

In the long, quiet, stretching seasons, the enemy will present an alternative.

Not something blatantly evil.

Not something obviously wrong, but something almost right.

But make no mistake, it is not the promise.

Counterfeits don’t show up randomly, they surface right before the fulfillment.

Satan will work overtime to frustrate you in the season of preparation, hoping you’ll grow weary and bypass the process.

He will tempt you to accept what is second rate, to walk through doors God never opened, and to step out prematurely before heaven calls you out.

He will attempt to lure you into producing in the flesh what can only be conceived by the Spirit.

To strive where God called you to trust.

To manufacture what was meant to be miraculous.

Because the enemy knows that if he can convince you to settle for Ishmael, you may forfeit the fullness of Isaac.

When you birth something God never ordained, it demands your energy, your focus, your defense.…

But, what God births, He sustains.

What you create in your own power will always require your own power to keep alive.

What comes from the Spirit carries the life of the Spirit.

It grows with Him, it thrives by His power, and it does not collapse under your weight.

You were never called to birth the promise in your own strength.

You were never meant to carry this alone.

If God has spoken a word over your life, His character is on the line.

He does not forget what He has promised, and He does not need your assistance to fulfill it.

He only needs your obedience.

There will be many options.

Many opportunities.

Many open doors.

But there is only one promise.

Do not trade the supernatural for the natural.

Do not trade the promised for the possible.

Do not settle for the substitute when the real is on the way.

Wait.

Wait for Isaac.

Wait for the promise.

Wait for the hand of God to move.

And in the waiting, do not grow weary.

Do not compromise.

Do not take what is not yours.

Stand firm, hold fast, and trust the One who never breaks His word.

What I’m about to tell you will likely blow the minds of a few church leaders.

We need to rethink the tithe…

Often we hear

“It’s Biblical “
“God will bless your offerings “

That’s true… as it is mentioned in the Old Testament….

“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭14‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/gen.14.18-20.ESV

This is one instance…

“But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance. For the tithe of the people of Israel, which they present as a contribution to the Lord, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel.””
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭18‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/num.18.24.ESV

Of the tribes of Isreal…the Levites had no source of income but to serve the tabernacle.

Another example…

In the Jewish culture, a tithe was required periodically to provide for the homeless, widows and the community in general.

So riddle me this…where in the New Testament does it mention the tithe as we hear of it today?!?!!

The tithe is mentioned several times in the New Testament, however nowhere does it say “give God 10% of your finances and He will give you greater financial blessings.

He may do that…but we aren’t making cupcakes here..stay with me

Those blessings may not be money at all…they may be healing you of something or sparing you from an accident.

I can feel the hate mail comin…

The tithe,as it’s being presented in churches today, is wrong!!!

How many times have you felt guilty or less than because you couldn’t give money??

You’re not obligated to tithe financially!!

Now, if you’re a church member who goes to a building…has a paid faculty and strong outreach… you absolutely should support them financially!!!

We most definitely are called to gather as the body with fellow believers.

All that good stuff costs money…

But let’s call it what it is…it’s a donation!!!

“Tithing “ isn’t just money…

God wants to bless the person serving the soup as much as the one who PAID for it!!!

By definition, would it not be considered a tithe by giving canned food to the church for use in the community?

Or donating your time at a verified mission supported by your local church??

God has blessed me with just enough..so with the rest, I support as many churches and ministries as I can.

Why?

Because it glorifies Him!!!

God has blessed me because I’m being faithful to Him to the best of my ability.

Not because of an obligatory tithe that often gets misrepresented.

I have no problem with churches having money…

I DO have a problem with pastors hoarding money for personal gain while people in their communities are suffering…

Bottom line is this…if you are able, give money to the church. If you’re not…give your time.

Anything we give is to glorify God first and foremost…if you do that, He will absolutely bless every part of your life.
