CARBON COPY

Mighty woman of God!  I speak blessings of love, peace and joy upon your live today.  Message has a little sting, so keep an open mind as you read.
 
(2 Tim. 3:5-7), For although they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it (their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession).  Avoid all such people (turn away from them).  For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate silly and weak-natured and spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with (the burden of their) sins (and easily) swayed and led away by various evil desires and seductive impulses.  (These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them); they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth.
 
I thought about having a good man on my side.  I prayed that God would send me a man.  My exact words were, "God, please send me a man".  Within a weeks time, I thought that my prayers were answered by God.  But instead, Satan sent me a carbon copy of the man that God had for me.  I say that the enemy heard my prayers, very loudly and kept me in bondage and tormented for over ten years.  I am not angry over that, but I did not wait on God.  We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers and principalities of this world.  That scripture has kept me from being bitter or unforgiving towards people.  That scripture will keep you free from bitterness and unforgiveness towards anyone that has caused harm to you.
 
Having a form of godliness. You can't change the original.  No matter how many times you look at that carbon copy, you cannot change it to be the original.  Satan is very cunning and will not hesitate to send you a form of a godly man.  He will not hesitate to send you a carbon copy of the man that you desire to have as your husband.  If you wait on the Lord to send you the man that He has already chosen for you, before you were even in existence, you will get the original version.  A lot of times, we as women, try to change the character or personality of a man.  All of our hearts desires in a man, cannot be molded, it has to be his character.  Now, I am not saying that a man cannot or won't change certain things about himself, mainly because we change certain things due to age.  He may not go to the club like he used to or he may began to help more with the kids, do some house cleaning.  Those are a few things that he can change on his own. 
 
I purposely gave you the Amplified Bible version of those scriptures because the Amplified is clearer and it does not sugar coat what God is saying.
 
What makes you think that God would send you a carbon copy of the man that He has picked out for you?  What makes you think that God wants for you to shack up with a man, and an ungodly man at that?  What makes you think that God wants you to live in bondage with a man?  What makes you think that God wants you to be beat on, cheated on and cursed out everyday?  Women tend to put up with a lot of things from a man waiting for that carbon copy to become an original.
 
I pray that I have touched someone's heart, even though this message sounds a little harsh, we as women need to value ourselves more than any man.  Once we begin to value ourselves and become jealous over ourselves we can move out of bondage from a man and live in peace and harmony with God.  PRAISE HIM, ANYHOW!
