Bishop T.D. Jakes: the virtuos woman

A Good Thing

Proverb 18:22

How many single women do you know who are almost consumed by the desire to get married? There are so many women who are longing for a relationship they are not ready to receive. If you are going to walk with God, you must understand something: Timing is everything.

When the Lord has prepared the right man for you and you for him, and that man shows up at the right time, you must be sure that you are in the right place with the right perspective to receive all that God wants to release to you.

Read Proverb 18:22. The Bible says that “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord”.

Often, because of old issues you haven’t dealth with or old wounds that haven’t healed; you may find yourself wandering around in a stupor somewhere emotionally unprepared for a healthy relation. You will not be able to be the “good thing” you were meant to be in your husband’s life unless you are healed and whole, your man will not feel that He’s enjoying the Lord’s favor in his relationship with you.

            Ladies, men do not exist to bring the favor of the Lord to your lives, either. You find the favor of the Lord by being the woman He creates you to be-by breaking the chains with which the devil had you bound b y knowing the Lord passionately and intimately, by walking in His power and worshiping Him with your life.

You must take responsibility for making your self, with your life. You must take responsibility for making yourself, with your life. You must take responsibility for making your self with God’s help, the good thing he wants you be.

            Notice that the Bible does not say that whoever finds a woman finds a good thing. It say that whoever finds a wife finds a wife finds a good thing. But how can you be a wife before you have a husband? You become a wife in your sprit. Yes, you become a wife in your spirit before you ever get married.

That way, you will prepare to be a wife in other ways. If you are not prepared, if you do not have the anointing of the Holy spirit, you will find yourself dragging ugly past into what could be the most beautiful relationship of your life.

My sister, do what you need to do in order to be whole. The Lord heals. The Lord mend. He restores. And he will make you a woman of strength and grace and wholeness. When he has done His work in you, you will be such a good thing.
