Understand this, since Satan hates women with a supernatural passion, he will also try to use you to attack women for his own purposes.  You must view women as you sisters in the Lord, and treat them accordingly.  God will not bless a man who attacks his daughters through abuse, bigamy and control.  Guard yourself from these vices, because Satan will surely use you as one of his minions, if you allow him.   
     One of Satan’s oldest tricks that he uses is to make us think that we have to be supernatural performers in every area of life in order to please a woman! My brother, you must take that pressure off yourself.  God is not requiring you to be the second “Messiah” to the world.  God expects you to function as a man under His authority.  He is not requiring you to look to a woman to validate you as a man.  God’s word says that we are “complete in HIM!”  You must learn to be yourself, and stop trying to measure up to unrealistic expectations that people require you to fulfill.
     My brothers, God wants to have an intimate relationship with you as His son.  The more time we spend with Him in prayer and meditation will produce a greater manifestation of power and confidence.  God wants men to walk in confidence and strength.  We are to manifest the works of God, because He has anointed us with the Holy Ghost.  In Acts 1:8, He tells us that we will receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon us.  The word “power” means the supernatural ability that God has.  Once we realize that the Holy Spirit is in place in our lives, we can depend on His ability to stop the advance of hurt feelings from past relationships.  Satan uses past hurts and failures to cause us to feel inadequate and impotent as men of God.  You must understand that as long as you allow hurt to stay in you, the easier it is for Satan to access you soul.  Satan uses the memory of past hurts and failures to revive the feelings of those situations.  This is why it seems as though you feel the same intensity of the pain from something that may have happened years ago, by just thinking about the situation. Learn to use your authority to destroy the power of the past so that it can no longer rule your future.  Every time a thought comes to your mind about a past failure, respond to it with the word of God.  Continue to do this until that thought stops coming.  The bible says that the Word is like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces!         Proverbs 23 tells us that you are what you think.  Once you gain control of your thought life, you gain control of your life.  Continue to meditate on the Word of God, so that you can change what you allow to come into your mind.  As you grow in meditation of the Word of God, you will create a mind that is fully persuaded by what God says, and not what the world says.  Once your mind is changed, your speech will change.  You will then be able to speak the word in any situation, and change your destiny!
Will The Pain Ever Go Away?
 
By Apostle R. C. Baldwin
 
                
Why does frustration always seem to follow me?  Why do I continually feel under pressure?  Is there a place that I can come to, where I can truly experience peace in my mind?  These are questions that continually gnaw at our minds as men.  My purpose is to assure you so that you can be free from the pain of past hurts, and the frustrations of present dilemmas that you face.
     My brothers, your answers are found in the word of God.  Throughout this article we will examine God’s solutions to our pressing issues, so that we will be able to walk out this Christian life with the utmost power, purpose, passion, and peace. 
     Let’s begin in the book of Genesis.  We need to understand that God has given us the responsibility to rule the earth with His power and authority.  Satan understands that he has to submit to our authority. Satan will have to obey us as long as we do not succumb to his pressures and trials.  We as men must understand the fact that whatever God has already equipped us to perform what He has called us to do.  Many times we fail to realize that we already are anointed to perform our daily tasks as men of God.  One of the biggest issues that we face, is to come to grips with the assurance that God can and will still use us, even if we have fallen into sin!  Think of David, Saul, Abraham, Peter and Paul.  God used these men in spite of their shortcomings.  The common quality that they possessed was their dependence on God to accomplish His will in their lives, even when they fell short! Men of God, you must learn to trust in the promises of God.  He promised us in 1 Jn. 1:9, that He would forgive us of all of our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  This is a promise that God will always keep!
     We find in the Book of Genesis, the third chapter, that God put “enmity” between the serpent and the woman, and between his seed and her seed.  With this fact in mind, we need to realize that Satan will vehemently target women in his attacks.  He will use women in order to frustrate, confuse, and control you as a man.  Many of the hurts and frustrations that we as men have to deal with come from broken relationships with women.  I believe that if you as a man, can overcome the issues that you face with women, you will have gone a long way in overcoming your battles with frustration and pain.
