Characteristics of a Woman of God


Characteristics of a Woman of God

* Perseveres in prayer. (They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers) Acts 1:14.
* She has her eyes on the cross, just looking at her objective: the salvation of her soul. (Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other) Luke 6:37.
* Always gives without concern of receiving. (In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive') Acts 20:35.
* Always concerned with those by her side, treating everyone with love and dignity,
regardless of their position within a group or society. (A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity) Proverbs 17:17.
* She is happy, her smile is contagious to all and everyone always wants to be near her. (A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit) Proverbs 15:13.
* She seeks to act upon the Word of God and not just learn it, showing by example and taking to all the Lord's perfume. (Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock) Matthew 7:24.
* Lives in holiness, staying away from sin and seeking a daily communion with God. (Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord) Hebrews 12:14.
* She is honest, lies have no place in her life. (You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy) Psalms 45:7.
* Seeks to have a heart like a child and pleasing to God. (And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven) Matthew 18:3.
* Minds her words, uses them only to bless people and not to tear them down, she listens more than she speaks. (The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright) Proverbs 15:7.
* She has good eyes for all, deviating from judgments that produce bad eyes. (The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,your whole body will be full of light) Matthew 6:22.
* She is humble in spirit. (Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven)Matthew 5:3.

Being a woman of God, aside from these characteristics, is fearing and obeying the Lord Jesus.

God Bless!

Being Holy to see God


When we are spiritual and seek less of the physical world, in other words, live in spirit, we seek holiness, which doesn’t mean being a good, kind, pleasant person, but a person who assumes her faith daily, throwing herself into the hands of the Lord Jesus, living by faith, that in which is not seen, but knows that through holiness, will see it in her life daily because the results will come, she is 100% certain that her greatest good in this world is him: The Holy Spirit.
Holiness brings us so close to God, that the results are wonderful. In all these 21 days, we were living in communion with the Holy Spirit; we have seen great results in our lives and the lives of others.
I had wonderful experiences. It had already been a few months that I was trying to use the internet only for essentials, and for awhile was barely watching television, because I was busy focusing on what I saw would bear good fruit, on what would make me please God and care for others. Since we have calling to the altar, we know that we have a great responsibility, in order to bring others to the Kingdom of God, and this requires a total commitment to God...
A few months ago, I was taking care of younger and older women who were depressed, anguished, lost, had no vision, no direction, spiritually destroyed, and in my daily tending of them, always trying to give my best, showing them that without the Holy Spirit or daily commitment to God, a person will go in circles, may even may accomplish, but will not have an established life and so will not stay with God and their daily problems will gradually destroy them. And as time passed, what a transformation! They were delivered, changing their behavior, their character, made a commitment to God and were baptized with the Holy Spirit. Today they are servants of God, helping others with their own testimony. This is priceless, but it is our commitment that bears the fruit, without commitment, the results will not come.
Every day I learn that the blessings of God depend on our sincerity and our total commitment, to really trust that God is in control of everything, always respecting God’s will in our lives.
To see God in our lives, in other words, the results we want then we must strive for holiness.
As it is written:
“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord" Hebrews 12:14
