What Shall Separate Us Ladies from God? By Dr. Sandra Wright

Total Surrender

What will separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or violent death separate us from his love?
36As Scripture says: “We are being killed all day long because of you. We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties. 38I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love which Christ Jesus our Lord shows us. We can’t be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces 39or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation.”
Romans 8:35

God will never stop loving us, but when the test comes, and it surely will in some form or fashion, will we stop loving God? Yield ladies, surrender all to God.  When we can’t see his plan, and we don’t understand, TRUST the heart of God!

Ladies You Have The Miracle of Impossibilities Within You by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

Your circumstances are dark, dreary, you have prayed, fasted, proclaimed, begged, pleaded, bargained, cried, swore, cussed and anything else you could think of…The circumstances, your husband, child, circumstances still remain the same.  Pastor, sister preacher, Apostle, Teacher, Evangelist, sister/friend, you have almost lost hope, or worse yet you have used some scripture to justify your failure, but deep inside you know you have failed and are still failing.  He hasn’t stopped drinking, cheating, the lies remain, the pornography, money spending, hasn’t stop. The child is still promiscuous, cheating, rebelling.  The darkness has remained… Where is God? Where is your power?  Where is your miracle?

He Cheated: Hate Or A Four Letter Word by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

I was told of a true story of a couple married some 30 years and one day the husband came home and said he was moving out. To make matters worse, he moved in with an employee on the same job where they, he and the wife work.  That was not the shocking thing, what was mine boggling was  this same wife would see this new found couple everyday, and she was cordial to both the abandoned husband and his new girlfriend.  I was told she didn’t have any bitterness and in fact was one of the sweetest persons you would ever know!  I didn’t believe this until I saw and met her for myself…

I am retelling this story

Because at the time I said “I am not such a woman.” Now as I look back over my life I realize I still would not be that woman, but I am all that I have allowed God to transform me into. Having been married some 19 + years, divorced and remarried,  I see the transformation in myself, only possible by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.  I remember the day I actually became aware of betrayal and how it felt.  It was a message left on the separate phone of our home, one I vary rarely answered . This particular day for some reason I answered it..”I enjoyed our hugging and kissing the other day, I hope we can do it again.” That was the message on the phone.  I felt violated, betrayed, and any other negative emotion you can think of…

I remember when

Loss Is Gain: A Releasing To God Will Yield Glorious Promotion! by Dr. Sandra Scott Wright

Play Video

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Loss is Gain. The stripping away, the abandonment, loss of job forced retirement, loss of a friend, husband, wife or child. Foreclosures, shall the list continue…Loss of ones health, vitality and youth. Suddenly you wake up one day, to find you are no longer young, you are fat, skinny, the hair is gray, the children have lives of their own…you no longer have to get up for work…where has it all gone…

Loss is hard, whether voluntary stripping, release or a ripping tearing away, loss is hard: Hard on the emotions, hard spiritually even for the spiritually strong, simply hard.  Child fighting with spouse, who will win, which one will you choose over?  Leave or stay, spouse doesn’t treat you with care anymore, leave or stay.  He is kind to you, provides, but doesn’t want to marry you…leave or stay.  You have been faithful in giving your offerings, and a good steward in all God has given you, and now your house is in foreclosure…leave or stay? Trying to be a good steward of the body God has given you, trapped by genetic predispositions of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart trouble, obesity, live or die, leave or stay…Wake up one morning finding the house feeling empty, spouse there but not there, leave or stay…

Your Strength Shall Be Renewed by Dr. Sandra Wright

Isaiah 40:28-31

Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [There is] no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Finding Oneself After Divorce. Crossing The River Jordan.

I Am An Independent Woman; I Don’t Need A Man! by Sandra Scott Wright

I Became An Independent Single Woman Free At Last!

The next months and days were quite revealing. I began to turn inwards towards myself. I Who was I? What did I like? What did I want?  What were my plans?  These were all questions for the first time I found myself being faced with.  I began to explore things I’ve always wanted to do, but there was always a reason to not do it…Not enough money, time, etc. This time I was going to do the things I enjoyed. I took up swimming and began to run track. I lost 100lbs in the process. I took myself out to dinner and on Wednesdays, took myself to my favorite place for lunch. Often as I sat alone at such lunches I would think if anyone had told me I would be at such a wonderful place having such a marvelous lunch and doing it all by myself I would have told them they were crazy.

The waitresses soon began to pre-prepare my place and order my lunch whenever I would arrive; I was becoming a regular.  I knew what the bill would be $25.00 and I would always leave a nice tip sometime $10.00 just grateful for the personable service and the ability to be able to do it.  Oh yes I forgot to mention I was blessed to reinstate my license as a nurse. It was one of the fastest turnaround times according to the nursing board! God was and still is faithful.

Shame Plunged Me Into the Pit of Hell by Sandra Scott Wright

I began to perform to prove I was worthy. I began to run, swim, dress differently, lose weight, I began to move faster than I ever have as if life was passing me by…I was determined that no man would make me feel I was inadequate. No one would make me feel I was a mistake. I remember my father saying to my brother and I that we were mistakes. He mentioned that our mom poked a whole in the birth control and we were conceived. I set out to prove I was no mistake. Unbeknown to me I set out to prove that I was really ashamed of who I was, and I equated the failure of our marriage as direct link to the failure of me as woman/wife/mother.

I thought my foundation was sure. I had been a Christian some 40 years. I felt myself slipping, sinking into a hole of dryness and emptiness. I had changed everything about myself after the divorce and yet I still felt empty. I quoted the scripture ‘For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:9 …and I still felt empty. I told myself I had angles encamping around me.”… Psalm 34:7 “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them”… and I still felt lonely. I went to work and had an excellent work record and I still felt useless. I had preached and encouraged women nationally and internationally, when the conferences were ended; I still felt empty…

I cried out ‘Lord where are you! Can’t you feel what I feel? I’m dying on the inside. Please help me! The new designer clothes, the diamonds I had bought for myself, they all were meaningless…I could find myself in nothing, not diamonds, new clothes, career, ministry, new look, nothing…. I was determined if this was the result of a failed marriage I would never marry for love again…

Storms Are Here sung by By Rev. Sandra Scott Wright

Storms Are Here sungy by Rev. Sandra Wright

Wind, rain, fire, clouds, dust, confusion, chaos, anger, bitterness, resentment, hate, turmoil, confusion, relocation, disorder, uprooting, disjointing, CHANGE….

The storm is here, the storm in now.  There is a shaking a tearing, an uprooting. Unholy unions being destroyed, leaches ripped off, codependency destroyed.  Wives carrying the entire responsibility of the spiritual and financial part of the family; Husbands walking in shame and failure hiding because they have been in default of leadership.  Husbands working job after job to give us what we wasn’t suppose to have in the first place.  The storm is here, the storm is now!

We thought he was supposed to give us everything we wanted and desired.  For him not to do so made him a failure in our eyes.  He gave us it all and he still remains a failure in our eyes…He thought he was to give us everything to the exhaustion and frustration of his soul. He could not be our God he could not provide us with all we wanted and even needed…he could not be our god.  He hides in failure; he hides in shame. Exhausted, frustrated, and then backs out slowly in comfort by pornography, all sexual perversion, alcohol, drugs, more fruitless work…who’s fault your fault his fault ours?
