Our Wednesday night small groups (Life Circles) kicked off in July 2011, and have truly gained momentum. Each week we are empowered with practical life applications with the Word of God as our foundation. For the month of December we are discussing "What A Woman Needs". I will share just a few nuggets...you have to come out to experience the rest :)
The purpose of this particular Life Application is two-fold. First to empower all women to have high standards as it pertains to a male companion. Women too often settle due to the strong desire to have a mate. Biological clocks are ticking, hormones are not cooperative, and it seems like there is no ending to this "lonely saga". But this application, if received, will definitely help illeviate the anxiety that causes us to accept any man that comes our way. Secondly this application is intended to bring an awareness to all men of the needs of most women. With this knowledge, it will help men understand us a little better and help them to navigate their way in a relationship.
Our foundational scripture is Ruth chapters 2 & 3.
Through the Word of God we have discovered a few things that most women need in a man such as:
stability, confidence, self esteem, security, emotional connection, provision, and commitment.
I challenge you to dive into the scripture and see if you can find any of these qualities in Boaz. Then come out and share in our Life Circles your revelation.
Soul Stimulation is not your average blog, its a resource of motivation for your soul (YOUR mind, YOUR will, YOUR emotions). Allow the articles, which are written by various writers, to incite your dormant places and excite your bored places. No matter your race, gender, religion, sexuality, or age...become reinvented as your soul becomes stimulated.
INNER HEALING: This Hurts So Bad
Dictionary.com defines the following as such:
Pain- mental or emotional suffering or torment
Hurt- injury, damage or harm; to cause mental pain to; offend or grieve
Heal/Healing- to make healthy, whole, or sound; restore to health
Inner Healing......begin today.
Pain- mental or emotional suffering or torment
Hurt- injury, damage or harm; to cause mental pain to; offend or grieve
Heal/Healing- to make healthy, whole, or sound; restore to health
- Emotional pain is just as critical as physical pain...if not more damaging. Emotional pain has been scientifically linked to physical pain through the connection of how the brain processes it.
- Chronic emotional pain can cause debilitating depression and eventually death if not dealt with.
- A broken or desolate heart CAN kill you. (Psalms 143:4)
- You are not alone in this emotional condition. Hannah shared this experience. (I Samuel 1:4-16)
- God loves us so much. He heals the broken in heart. (Psalms 147:3)

"SOUND DOCTRINE"
So much attention has been brought to the GREATEST promise that God has given to His people: the RAPTURE, that promise of heaven, that promise to be with Him forever. Unfortunately, this great promise has been misrepresented greatly! And it is so disturbing. It disturbed me so, that it urged me to post this article. Hope you're blessed by it!
In the book of 2Timothy 4:1-5, Paul gives Timothy a charge to preach the sound doctrine of the Word of God. Paul had a revelation of the importance of enduring (staying under) sound doctrine. That same revelation is relevant to the believer today.
Sound doctrine has become scarce in Christendom because of the many doctrines that are being taught instead of the Word of God. This is why being a part of a sound "Bible-Teaching" Church is so vitally important. Denomination, association, and organization doesn't matter. Is the Word of God being taught from a sound perspective and not a partial or opinionated perspective? When that's happening, then things like this "Judgement Day" frenzy (end of the world madness) comes into public view, we as believers have the doctrine that's so sound, we are able to be lights (revelation) in this darkness (lack of revelation).
Whether we know it or not, this madness has now placed an even greater skepticism in the atmosphere. It has launched an attack on our beliefs. Now we as believers must KNOW the truth (sound doctrine).
The world as we know it will end one day. But the scriptures are so clear on when....SURPRISE! NO man knows the day nor the hour. Analogies like, "coming like a thief in the night" should give us some clue that we will be clueless of a date for Christ's return. When we, the believer, become well educated we can then refute these false claims through the Word of God, and begin to lead people to the truth. People are hungry for truth. We have the TRUTH living on the inside of us. What are we doing with it? Jumping from church to church? Rolling from conference to conference? Skipping from revival to revival? Living in a church building every evening of our week?
Come on believers! Let's get to really preaching this Gospel of the Kingdom of God. This Gospel of sound doctrine that let's people know that there's a better life for them and that there's someone who loves them beyond their faults. Letting them know that Christ died for every mistake they've made and will ever make, all they have to do is believe in Him.
It's time to preach sound doctrine. It's time to be the lights of this world.
