Womb-Man

1 Corinthians 3:16, 17



"When Adam saw Eve for the first time, he called her "womb-man." She would bring forth life. what you need is a seed that you believe is enough to produce an embryo. You must be willing to feed that embryo for it to grow and become visible. When it will not be hidden any longer, it will break forth in life as answered prayer. No matter how hard others try to hold it back, it will break forth.

Put the truth in your spirit and feed it, nurture it, and allow it to grow. Quit telling yourself, "You're too fat, too old, too late, or too ignorant." Stop feeding yourself that garbage. It is unwise to speak against your own body. Women who speak against their bodies open the door for sickness and disease. Speak life to your body. Celebrate who you are. You are the image of God. The Scriptures remind us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). The truth will allow life to well up within you.

The devil wants you to live in yesterday. He's always telling you what you cannot do or be. His method is to bring up your past and turn your attention backward.

God is calling you to today. He wants to sow desire into the spirit of broken women. Until you have a vision to move ahead, you will always live in yesterday's struggles. The very fact that you have a desire is in itself an indication that better days are coming.

When I was a boy, we had a dog named Pup. Don't let the name fool you, though. He was a mean and ferocious animal. We had him chained in the back of the house to a four-by-four post. The chain was huge. We never imagined that he could possibly tear himself loose from that post. He would chase something just out of his reach, and the chain would snap him back.

One day Pup saw something he really wanted. It was just out of his reach. However, the motivation before him became more important than what was behind him. He pulled that chain to the limit. All at once, instead of drawing him back, the chain broke, and Pup was loose to pursue his prey.

That's what God will do for you. The thing that used to pull you back will snap, and you will be liberated because God has put greatness before you and within you. God is powerful enough to destroy the yoke of the enemy. He is strong enough to deliver what He has put in you, and set you free."
