How To Be Found

In "Not Until You’re Ready" I go through great lengths to establish the fact that women are not the finders but the ones who are suppose to be found. Nevertheless, this has seemingly be the number one unanswered mystical problem. In the corners of their minds, women are swamped with the question, "How can I be found?" So again here comes Pastor Danyelle to the rescue!

How often do you go to your church? Every Sunday? How often do you go to your job? Every day? How many times have you actually gone on a true vacation during your vacation from the job? See, this is where the problem is. So often Daughters of God your routine never changes. Didn’t Jesus change His routine every now in then? Remember in the New Testament when He used a boat one time, then He walked on water another time, then He rode in a donkey one time, and He walked several times. But get this, every time He changed His routine, He’d eventually glide along the path where someone was in need of His services. Think about it....if He would have stayed on the same path the whole time, He’d never been in the crowd just a touch away from the women with the issue of blood while on his way to raise Jairus’ daughter from the dead, He’d never seen four fishermen He called to be His very on disciples, or get this, He would have never seen Zacchaeus up in the sycamore tree.

Let me bring this even closer, If Ruth hadn’t never followed Naomi to her home, she would have never been gleaning in Boaz field. The man who later became her man and showed the kinsmen redeemer at work. So all I’m trying to say ladies is...MOVE AROUND! You can not expect to be found if there is no one available to find you. What am I saying? You’ve been in the same church all of your life, all the men are married, you’d really prefer to be found by a godly man who already attends service.....well, why don’t you visit other churches every now and again. I know you love your pastor and your church but just maybe your man is waiting on you to walk through the doors of His church because like you, he desires a woman that’s already attending church.

If you’re on vacation from your job, why don’t you take a vacation? You keep traveling in the same circles and sitting in the same place so, how can you be found? A woman that’s desiring to be found has enough sense to realize that her circle hasn’t yielded anything new. Why waste your time hoping that "Mr. It" gets a divorce from his wife? You’ve heard he’s having problems so you’re going to hold up your life waiting for a marriage that might not ever dissolve to dissolve. Get real sister. Get your butt up and MOVE AROUND!

Faith without works is dead. Work out your own faith by knowing that just because a husband is what you desire, God is going to give him. Then show God that you trust Him and His word by getting you together. Whatever is holding you back from getting in that find position, this is the time to get it right. Could it be that God already has him waiting on you and you are your very own holdup.

Let go of that past stuff and get ready, get ready, get ready! As the acclaimed Bishop TD Jakes would say. Now plan your next vacation, and get up and go to the Wal-mart thirty miles away. It won’t hurt the drive will do you some good. Go to visit other churches there just might be a Word and a Man waiting there for you. But please remember it’s "Not Until You’re Ready."
