I’ve learned a lot about people in my Christian walk ….

I’m around several small groups of Christians, often outside of church.

The most glaring lesson being the difference between the ones screaming scripture and the ones humbled by life…

The screaming, self righteous types are all about the noise and do very little in the way of spreading the gospel and reaching the lost…

The others…

They’ve been hurt….

They’ve known shame…

They’ve known darkness…

They’ve danced with the devil..often more than once!!

Those are my people!!

Those Christians are the closest thing you’ll get to seeing the love of Christ…the redemption offered to everyone.

They’ve faced their own demons and know the peace and joy of being pulled from the pit to the other side.

You don’t learn that in church….

You don’t learn that in Sunday school…

You learn that when the devil has run roughshod over your entire life and it’s broken you down to nothing….

That’s where you learn the true power of Jesus and his sacrifice!!!

Yea…I’ll take the broken preacher over the polished pulpit any day.

I do not consider myself a righteous man by my own doing….

~righteousness

noun
The state of being right with God; justification; the work of Christ, which is the ground of justification. �Similar: justification
The state of being right with God; justification; the work of Christ, which is the ground justification.
Adhering to moral principles.

Looking back on my life I was anything but.

Not until God allowed me to be beaten down by sin did I allow Jesus to do His work in me.

By no means have I arrived….but at least I try to do right.

I was reading about S***m and Gomorrah this morning….

“So the Lord told Abraham, “I have heard a great outcry from S***m and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant. I am going down to see if their actions are as wicked as I have heard. If not, I want to know.””
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.18.20-21.NLT

“The other men turned and headed toward S***m, but the Lord remained with Abraham. Abraham approached him and said, “Will you sweep away both the righteous and the wicked?”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.18.22-23.NLT

I think we all know the rest…

Only Abraham and his family were spared.

The cities were completely destroyed as a result of their lack of righteousness.

I think this has major relevance in today’s world…no?!?!

Any righteousness found in you or I is from God!!

Nothing else…

It doesn’t exist outside of God…..

If you say that you are righteous, you are following guidelines set by Him…whether you believe it or not….

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.
