A4P Guest: My husband and I are writing this to you together. After four years of marriage, our sexual intimacy got cold and we both began complaining about it. Then one day I came across a porn site and told my husband about it. So, we invited porn to our bedroom and after that for few months, we thought we got back our sexual pleasures we lost through the years. But as you already said it on most of your articles, the porn soon destroyed everything we had. We went for counseling because we couldn’t get along anymore. We didn’t tell to the counselor about the porn because we were very scared. The counselor tried Continue reading Marital Sexual Intimacy After Porn

Porn And A Man
A4P Guest: What is the one thing that pulls a man in porn addiction?
A4P: The woman in porn doesn’t demand and ask anything from the man. She is willing to give him anything he asks and more. She takes nothing from him but gives him everything. She doesn’t ask him to love and care for her. All she is asking him is to give her his soul. That is all!
A4P Guest: But why doesn’t the man then be happy with porn and live quietly? Why does he seek help to stop viewing porn? Continue reading Porn And A Man
Remember: God Answers our Prayers!
I believe with all my heart that God has some sense of humor.
Most Bible scholars also share this view too. I don’t think God is a mean looking old man, with a rod on His hand. I believe He is a fun God to be with; and I believe He loves making things fun so that we enjoy life to the fullest.
Some of the stories I read in the Bible are very funny, at least for me.
When it comes to praying to God to look “marvelously spiritual,” I was very good at it. And God usually answers them all. Continue reading Remember: God Answers our Prayers!
Prayer Request
I always try to pray for our kids before they go to bed. My little one is the one who reminds me if I forget.
Yes, I sometimes forget about it and sometimes, well, I purposely forget it if I’m very tired or grouchy.
Yesterday night, while I was devouring one book (I will tell you about it when I finish it), my little one came and said, “Come and pray for us.” So, I first went to my daughter’s room. She is fourteen now and she got rid of all the night-lights. Big girls don’t need night-lights. Hooray! Continue reading Prayer Request
“Beyond the Fairy Tale”
. . . is the title of my very first book! Oh, I can’t tell you how excited I’m about “Beyond the Fairy Tale!”
I was literally carrying the message of this book in my spiritual “womb” for many years. Now, at last, it is coming on a hard copy, for others to hold it on their hands and read it! Not only read it but being changed by its message forever! Fantastic! Oh, I’m more than excited!
May all the glory, praise, honor and worship be to our Lord Jesus Christ! Continue reading “Beyond the Fairy Tale”
An Imposter!
Do you know the meaning of the word: “imposter?”
It means: a person who practices deception under an assumed character, identity, or name.
The one word that is very close to the word impostor is masquerade. And the word masquerade is defined as: false outward show; disguise.
A masquerade or an imposter leads a double life. He may look from the outside as someone who is a serious servant of God who doesn’t compromise but in his/her private life, he/she leads a sinful life.
Do you know if a person chooses to be an “imposter” he/she can get to the point where nobody can help him/her?
If for example a husband who is an imposter has a marriage problem and goes to marriage counseling, he presents himself to the counselor as someone who is very spiritual. And the counselor looks at his wife with a suspicious look that says, “Why are you complaining about this kind and spiritual man?”
Wow! Do you know that nobody can help an imposter, not even God? Nobody! Until he/she comes to his/her senses and says to him/herself, “Enough of this life,” he/she lives in darkness. It doesn’t matter if he/she goes to the church and gets involved in a ministry; he/she lives in darkness.
Do you know a big imposter? You guessed it! It is the devil! Listen what the Bible says:
“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Who are we lying to when we masquerade and impose? To no one but ourselves!
Abraham Lincoln once said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
That means God knows who we really are and other people will eventually come to know who we really are. So when we impose, we pretty much lying to nobody but to ourselves. Think about it!
Let’s be true to ourselves, others and God because that is where we find our healing. ///
Are you a Thermostat or a Thermometer?
A thermometer doesn’t have its own temperature. It tells you the surrounding temperature it is in.
If you stick it under your arm, it reads 98.9 degree Fahrenheit. If you take it out and stick the same thermometer in your deep freezer, it reads -20F. Why? It is a thermometer. It has no “temperature” of its own.
Well, that is not the story with a thermostat! Wow! Thermostat sets its own temperature and takes possession of its surrounding! Its surrounding won’t tell it at what temperature it needs to run! Oh, no! The thermostat itself tells its surrounding at what temperature it needs to exist! Continue reading Are you a Thermostat or a Thermometer?
I love Identity Question because it is very easy to answer!
A4P Guest: I came to your page two weeks ago. First, I thought you were a feminist. Then I thought you were one of those politically complicated to figure out women who vote for those dictator men. I’m confused now. So, which one are you?
A4P: Neither!
A4P Guest: Then who are you?
A4P: I’m a daughter of God! Until you read all my posts I so far posted, it will be very hard for you to find me a group where you can categorize me perfectly. Tricky! Tricky!, ///
Freedom of Speech on Social Media
I heard the news on my way back from my kids’ basketball game yesterday night. I wanted to write this before I went to bed because I was totally “SPENT.” So, as usual, I prayed so that God would give me this day to write about it. Praise the LORD! God gave this day!
So, on the news yesterday, they said that freedom of speech had to be “reevaluated” once more “because some people are using social media to “target and assault” individuals.” The lady who was interviewed (from my memory, not word by word) said, “Facebook and other social media are targeting, for example, women.” Continue reading Freedom of Speech on Social Media
I Can’t Keep My Cool
– – – because I am a woman!
Well, let me say this before somebody out there gets mad at me.
Some women can keep their cool from month to month and from year to year; and we are very thankful for them. But some of us are struggling at least for three or four days out of a month trying to keep our “nice attitude” from turning into a nightmare. And during those few days of the month, we scare the people who live with us to death.
My Berhan knows how to go around my mood but my kids used to struggle to understand it. When they were little, it was a very strange and sometimes scary moment for them. Continue reading I Can’t Keep My Cool
