I recently asked my husband this question: “Hey, Baby, when I was a little girl, like thirteen or fourteen, I used to get attracted very easily to a man in a military uniform. I know it is absurd even to say that because I don’t even know the guy but I literally used to dream about a man in a military uniform. Why do you think?”
Well, my motive was clean and innocent; there was nothing hidden behind those words. I honestly wanted someone to psychoanalyze me. That is all!
It came to my attention that my recent 19th wedding anniversary message I made to my husband in London was not actually uploaded on the Appeal for Purity (A4P) YouTube channel and because it wasn’t uploaded on YouTube, many people didn’t get a chance to see it.
Jesus doesn’t want us to believe in Him against the evidence. And the evidence is this: The tomb is empty! Yes, He is risen as He said He would.
Whenever I think of the Cross, this is the verse that always comes to my mind and heart:
” And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:15) ///
With a female voice, “Hi Berhan, I just call to say hi and to wish you a happy Easter!” was a message I found in my answering machine right after I celebrated my first year wedding anniversary.
Here is the message I’m trying to pass on in this video clip:
If you have sexual struggle, don’t keep it as a secret. The one thing that gave your struggle power is the fact that you kept it in secret, in the dark. Bring it to light by breaking your silence.
The Bible says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16
With a female voice, “Hi Berhan, I just call to say hi and to wish you a happy Easter” was a voice message I found on my answering machine right after I celebrated my first year wedding anniversary. (This was in 1998 – no smartphone, no Facebook, no social media, no nothing.)
After we had our three kids, my prayer time got shorter and shorter and kind of disappeared in thin air. When the Holy Spirit comes and whispers in my ears saying, “Why don’t you pray now?” I will immediately say, “I’m not able to; can’t You see?” And the Holy Spirit asks, “Why can’t you?” I will say, “The children You gave me take all my time and energy and I have no strength left to pray and read the Word.” In a way, I was saying to Him, “If it was not for my children, I would have been praying and worshiping You; but since they are here, sorry, I can’t do that.”
