Becoming an “Old Maid”
7 August 2009
Evil is relentless in suggesting doubts, fears and worries, and because of that, anxiety sets in. And then, it suggests quick solutions through some kind of “friendly” advice—just like with the man who built his house on the sand.
“You haven’t married yet? Oh… isn’t that too bad? If you’re not careful you’ll end up an old maid!”
This is just an example of a situation that makes a woman fear that God will not answer her prayers. Time goes by and anxiety grows, fomented by people used by evil.
That’s why it’s so important to invest in our faith daily. Only faith can drive away doubts, fears and anxiety.
Jesus said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan!” (Matthew 16:23).
Friends, never forget one thing: those who are not well will always be used by evil to spread evil.
Run away from them! Even if they have a godly appearance, run away from them!
Don’t allow them to fill your mind with rubbish, contaminating your faith with a lot of blah blah blah…
Use your ability to think and don’t be influenced by other people’s doubts.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” (Psalm 1:1)
By Bishop Macedo
