But am I ready?

Proverbs 18:22

Mathew 11:11-12
Even John the baptist questioned if God was God even though he was a
believer. Jesus said in that verse that John the baptist was the best.
This let's us know that it's ok to sometimes feel like or wonder, Lord
is this u? It doesn't mean ur not saved..it's apart of the process.
"the person who is least I. The kingdom" meaning the person who is the
last person that should be going to church..."is greater than John the
baptist". Jesus says thar b/c he wants us to be a confident people &
walk in victory. The kingdom of heaven moves by force (verse 12).
Meaning it takes aggression and confidence. Tell the Lord what u want
with boldness & let nothing stop you.

Sex in the summer relationship: men need to move forcefully & be
aggressive about finding a wife. Don't wait for it to happen b/c it
won't! Most men want to get everything else in order in their lifes b4
they get married. However if your uncle died today and left u one
million $$ u wouldn't say no can't accept it right now gotta do this
first. Why not meet someone that u can go throught things with
2gether! Someone in ur corner to get riches with. Don't let those
things u THINK need in order be an excuse.

Proverbs 18:22
Never date someone u wouldn't marry other wise ur wasting time.

Pastor Andy says ur not ready if:

1) If ur not in love with yourself ur not ready. U can't expect
someone else to love what u don't love. Like what u see in the mirror!
Ephesians 5:33- love ur wife the way u love urself. Pastor Andy says
since he loves himself & he wants blessings to flow like a river he
makes sure there room is clean b/c he knows she's a neat person. If
the room is clean she can flow & he can be blessed the way he wants to
with candles & all!! Lol
Mathew 25:29-more is given to the one who has. (have good self esteem
& know who u are & what ur worth). For the ladies.."don't be the u be
the 2" let him say I love u & u say I love u 2! Lol

2) If ur not on a mission ur not ready. Everyone needs a vision. How
can someone help u if u dont know where ur going. A lot of men are
unhappily married b/c they didnt marry someone who was working for ur
purpose. You should be needing but not needy.
Women be strong but not masculine. Be willing to follow a little bit.
Strong men like strong women. Write in pencil not in ink women!! U may
have plans to live in TX & ur man says I wanna live in NC..be ready to
erase ur TX on ur list & pencil in NC. (follow). 75% of black women
between 30-35 yrs old have never been married.

3) If ur not healthy your not ready. Need to be healed from past hurts
even from ur parents! Get over ur past. Also be physically healthy cuz
marriage is hard but harder when ur ill. Your attitude has to be
healthy. Have a healthy view of marriage & of women. Ladies have a
healthy attitude about submission. Ladies have a healthy view of
sex..don't just lay there know how to work the equipment.

4) if ur not ready to work ur not ready. Even if ur compatible
marriage is hard work. If ur lazy ur not ready. Men if ur not ready to
do romance,dates,spending time, spending $, saying i love u just b/c,
showing affection,writting poems, listening, & giving holy hugs to ur
wife ur not ready to be married. Treat her like a queen not like a
servant in ur prison. Pastor Andy buys his wife flowers just about
every week (takes them to her job personally!! Cuz all the girls at
work will hate) lol

Ladies must be patient. Men require a lot of patience! Appearance:
they way ur guy is a hint to how u should be. If ur dude gets his hair
cut everyweek u can't rock a pony tail everyday. Be prepared to do the
work! An unattractive wife is as much use as a car in the ocean. The
word wife & unattractive don't go together!! Even if ur home! Comb it
out & get dressed!! If ur not ready to do that be by urself =)
