I believe one problem women have is with their identity. We tend to want to be like everyone else and get affirmed by others. In my own personal life I had to accept me for who I am. Even with my faults and issues I’ve come to realize that God loves me for me. My affirmation comes from the one who created me in His image.

This is one I’m still working on. I may take a day off to take care of me, but then I work 7-10 like a mad woman to catch up. It’s such a brutal cycle, but I’m steadily working at it!

Thanks so much for sharing.

Often times, women in general tend to take care of EVERYone except ourselves. I have been guilty of it myself – for more years than I care to admit. However, as I grow older & wiser, I realize that I can’t be everything to everybody and I can’t do anything for anybody until I do for myself. When we know better, we do better and we can be victorious together!

Thanks Linda for sharing. I have experienced the same, no job. But if it were not for the Church family, and friends and my faith it would have been more of a challenge. It is great to have a support base that’s what got me thru as well. Be encouaged you are one day closer to that perfect job just for you! God Bless.

I agree.. we don’t celebrate when we do accomplish something no matter how small it may be or how big it may be. I have just started doing that and it feels great! Thanks

Amen! I fully agree that we sometimes put too much emphasis on what other folks think. Why do we consult with other women (or men) who are themselves out of sync? We get a lot of really bad advice instead of consulting the ONE who knows. Now I know that God sends men & women into your life who will help guide you in a wise direction but you have to be mindful of what folks are telling you to do. We also have to stop speaking negatively. So a man (woman) thinketh, he (she) is. Speak positively and surround yourself with positive, peaceful people. I also agree that fear is a BIG factor in why we lack in so many areas. What are we so afraid of? I have to ask myself that on a few issues in my own life. This was wonderful! Thank you!

The thing that USED to keep me from living victoriously was believing that it was all up to me to make everything work. I started that as a young girl and continued the madness for decades. However, once I saw the light I knew that I had to allow each one to carry their part of the load and that sometimes I can delegat and take my hands off it. Oh what a Victory indeed…When I learned to trust God, I was on my way!

I believe that there may be a few issues that keep women from living victoriously. Women are nuturers and as a result we often times want to nuture and help everyone else before setting our house in order or taking the necessary steps to make sure we are being a blessing to the kingdom by living a victorious life. I believe one of the major goals/objectives that must be met when living a victorious life is to develop a system of checks/balances, keeping you focused on Kingdom business first at all times. We must remember that we can not save an entire World, but we can change the world one life at a time.

Evangelist Donovan ,you are so right that the change must begin us. We must ask God to open our eyes, renew our mind. The first thing a true prayer relationship with the Lord does is to begin to change us first. Thank you for those words.

Yes Tee many of us have had some issues with self esteem.. I t often affects the negative relationships we engage in with not only males but with females. Many have stayed in abusive relationships because of lack of esteem and fear. We have to encourage ourselves in the Lord and each other that whatever size, skin shade of color or etc does not justify being mistreated or feeling like a failure. Sometimes you have to work at it given society. But Victorious living is beleiving what God says about you and that you are more than a conqueror. You may have to go through ,but you don’t have to stay in a negative, unproductive, evil situation, place or state of mind.

I agree we often times focus on our failures and the mistakes of the past. Yes we should learn from our mistakes , confess our sins , repent and make Word based and practical changes in our lives. However, the enemy sometimes will keep us operating in fear and condemnation that we walk lamely, instead of victotriously. With the help of the Lord we must remember that we came overcome

Linda — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:54:39 +0000

One of the factors that keeps us from living victriously is that we say we believe and trust God but we don’t walk it out in our lives. We depend on God as a last resort. We have a lot of self esteem issues, and we operate in fear sometimes.
