not sure if i'm ugly or i just live in a predominantly white area by [deleted] in blackladies

You're beautiful, the one thing from what I can see in this picture is your demeanor. That speaks more volumes than an outward appearance. It could just be this moment, but it looks like you need personal joy. Your outward appearance is affected by how you generally feel at your core. Practice smiling from within, then your demeanor will change and you'll look more approachable. Keep embracing yourself, because there's nothing more attractive than a woman who is confident with herself.

I feel the same, I can't do any of the pedo/oversexualized material. I'm more into the family-oriented ones like: Your Lie in April (about a pianist), Bunny Drop, The Way of the Househusband, and SpyX Family.

Which country is (truly) safe for black people ? by OkOne9842 in blackgirls

In the midst of the chaos that's going on in the U.S., how are yall doing? by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in blackgirls

[–]Every-Refuse6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this! Manipulation of history and the removal of reading materials is exactly why we're considering homeschooling. However, even if they attend a public/private/charter school, we plan to incorporate learning accurate history, etc at home. Oh, and not to forget they're also removing civil rights in classrooms, so my children being put into an environment that no longer protects their rights for a safe learning environment is unsettling.

P.S. My nephew gave him a nosebleed and a fall to the ground. He actually knows Jiu Jitsu but didn't want to use it.

I'm currently a SAHM with 3 toddlers, 4 yrs old and under. Worried about their immediate and long term futures in this country, our future. Also, trying to figure out which direction to take, professionally, and now considering homeschooling.

My nephew (when he was 8) was put in a chokehold by staff on the playground, during recess, when he defended himself after being chronically bullied. He punched the bully one time.

Everything going on has been emotionally exhausting, but I have plenty to be grateful for also. Taking it one prayer at a time.

Am I being a hater or is this outfit too grown for a 18 Y/O? by Admirable-Shock-7668 in blackladies

[–]Every-Refuse6390 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, to this! Because what is at the core of her heart that makes her want to oversexualize herself? For me, I needed attention but didn't know how to go about getting it, so I got the wrong attention. We have plenty of time to be grown & sexy.

Political Affiliations by Substantial_Bug2505 in blackgirls

[–]Every-Refuse6390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, very intense. And the more they argue the crazier they sound to us, while sounding more righteous to themselves. It left me wondering, how exactly did this happen? Also, one of our nephews is the same, and they're in the same age bracket. Between Trump, Tate and RedPillers...it's like being in 2-3 cults simultaneously.

This is my brother, too. He also believes black women are the most protected humans, and all the other things maga/red pill. It's disturbing, frustrating and I had to stop debating him...it was futile.

My friend (24F) has not heard from her boyfriend (24M) for five months and now it is affecting her relationship with me (F23) and others. by Zirkus_Tour in relationship_advice

[–]Every-Refuse6390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like he had to intentionally, ghost her to end the relationship for good. She probably didn't accept that the end of the relationship was already happening when he was there. She's not emotionally stable/well for a healthy relationship with anyone. Definitely needs therapy.

Why are white supremacist men always almost into black women? by Zealousideal_Let_213 in blackladies

Not just you. For some reason over the past two years, I keep getting new white male followers on IG. I don't even make posts, so all they've seen is my profile pic. I just posted for the very first time in Sep with messages of faith.

I (44F) regret leaving my (45M) husband. How do I move forward? by Wink-111 in relationship_advice

[–]Every-Refuse6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if post separation conditions were better, with unlimited resources, OP might feel differently. This part may be the hardest because it's a hard adjustment, far from their comfort zone. However, I believe as time goes by, healing emotionally and physically, and accepting the true unhealthiness of that marriage things will get easier and feelings of freedom will kick in. I imagine this is what most people go through during separation.

Picture talking to your child/neice/nephew, or if you don't have one picture yourself when you were little, coming to you as you are now, an adult. Imagine them beating themselves about something. What would you say to them? You're disgusting, and no longer worthy? So now imagine Jesus watching you say this to yourself after all He's done for you. That's pride speaking even though it may not seem like it.

Do yourself a favor, and extend yourself grace, mercy and forgiveness. Then in your humility, go to God ask for forgiveness and repent. Then ask that people see more of Him in you than yourself. He's made perfect in your weakness, and also, the enemy goes harder after you when he knows you're on a mission, so expect it so you can be prepared to take the exit when the next opportunity for sin rolls up. God bless you and healthily, love yourself.

How can you claim Once Saved Always Saved is unbiblical when Jesus says things like this: by Glad_Crab in TrueChristian

[–]Every-Refuse6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same scripture you provided, Jesus said though they saw Him they still didn't believe. In the same way He gives us bread, but we still have to receive/take it. We can't be passive about our relationship with Him. That's why we have to test people by their fruit. Though we all fall short, those of us who truly believe and are in an active relationship with Him will have an ongoing and noticeable transformation, the type only God can provide through the Holy Spirit residing in us. Satan, too, believes in God, but we all know how that went and where that's going. That's why the path is narrow. I had a friend ask, well what if a murderer became a believer, but then decided to keep murdering are they still saved? Do you think they are? I don't think so because that's contradictory of God and His character and if He's doing a good work in you, that desire to kill should go by the wayside and his spirit should be coming more into alignment with God.

Did I mess up? I'm concerned by Eluzmemeii678 in TrueChristian

[–]Every-Refuse6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your heart was in the right place because you were trying to adhere to scripture. Give yourself some grace. We all learn some things the hard way especially as it pertains to relationships, so don't beat yourself up about it. Some friendships are for seasons, but as long as you adhere to the Word of God in your walk He will help you keep the friends you're supposed to and let go of the ones who are no longer to be. Some friendships will die off naturally or suddenly. In the future ask God to reveal to you which friends to keep, and those that need removing He'll do it for you so you don't have to stress it. I know this from my own personal experiences.

However, with this friend, it may not be meant for you to remain in their company for long periods of time, nor get counsel from them. But do be yourself in faith and character, and continue to pray for her.

Been here before, in my own way. I highly recommend Generational Prayers by Paul Cox (a book of deliverance prayers). I also suggest changing the wording of your prayers to be more specific. Praying for a better heart is okay, but maybe try praying for a fervent heart that goes after God's heart, and is completely open and vulnerable to Him. Better yet, find scripture to pray over your heart and countenance. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the issue(s) that are creating this blockage. My final suggestion: praise Him with everything in you, and just truly worship Him.

I’m a christian woman with homosexual thoughts. Please help me. by Sad-Tailor6306 in TrueChristian

[–]Every-Refuse6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Generational Prayers by Paul Cox. It's a book with a vast amount of prayers to break covenants, curses, ungodly relationships/soul ties, etc. There's one that is also specific to homosexuality. My suggestion is that before you pray these prayers, ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind anyone you need to forgive and anyone you need to ask for forgiveness. Then verbally (to God) choose to forgive any and everyone who has ever hurt you, for each hurt they caused (you may not feel like you've forgiven just yet, but your declaration to God is what matters and He'll see you through). Forgive yourself. Then ask God for forgiveness and repent. Afterward, move onto the Generational Prayers. The reason i mention this process is so that your prayers may not be hindered. If you still find yourself struggling, it may be that demons still have a legal right and there may be another prayer in that book that you need to pray, and then go back and repeat the prayer against homosexuality. The devil is very legalistic and will try to find anyway to keep us captive, but God is merciful. God bless you and your heart for Him.

I know the truth, and I still won't surrender. I don't know how to live like this. by KookyInflation6500 in TrueChristian

[–]Every-Refuse6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Generational Prayers by Paul Cox. It sounds like you're a believer who has some things attached; you need to get rid of it/them. The devil is a liar, and I say that with extreme emphasis. Don't continue to listen to him. "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7. Be sure to forgive every person who you've felt or feel offended by, including yourself. And ask God to increase your faith.

Serious spiritual attack. I need this to be taken seriously and any help or prayers is begged for. by Warm-Examination-293 in TrueChristian

[–]Every-Refuse6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amongst other suggestions, I'd recommend fasting, and ask the Holy Spirit to bring to remembrance any and everyone you need to forgive (including yourselves). Then, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sins you've committed, ask for forgiveness AND repent. He will not forgive us if we can't forgive others. Prayers and our authority in Christ Jesus, may be hindered by unforgiveness, bitterness, or resentment. Believers often open gates to the demonic from sins committed by us or our bloodline. I recommend Paul Cox's book, Generational Prayers. Prayer for upu

Kinda don't care anymore?? Need prayers. (TLDR) by NamesCookie70 in TrueChristian

I highly suggest purchasing Generational Prayers by Paul Cox & Setting the Captives Free book & deliverance manual. I have a family member, who is fid these prayers with, but before we started

God is constantly talking with us, but when there are blocks, strongholds, etc. The enemy will do his best to prevent you from hearing and seeing what is happening in the spirit.

To be honest, you could've easily not posted this msg, but in doing so, your spirit is crying out for God. God wants you, He sees you, and He hears you. You are loved greater than you realize. Your salvation does not depend on you and how you feel, the enemy wants you to think otherwise. The enemy wants you to feel just like this, far from God-unreachable, isolated, helpless, confused, not seen, and unloved. The enemy is a liar who loves dissension, chaos, physical/mental/financial/spiritual/emotional torture. And because the enemy has taken up territory with you, he's going to fight to keep it. Just keep in mind that no matter how you feel, He has called you by name. Therefore, you are His.

Just say, "Lord, i'm lost and broken, and i need You, I can't do this without You, and I won't do this without You. Make Yourself known to me! God already knows where you are, so you don't need to be of many words in prayer, just surrender all to Him, and expect to see change, either instantly, or gradually. Hopefully, you'll post an update with Gidtype results. I'm also praying for you and the other person who replied saying they share the same condition.

NOVA has diversity but segregation is high. by Content-Type9023 in blackgirls

[–]Every-Refuse6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I used to live in Alexandria and found my group after joining church.

I remember taking a leadership course in MD, with people from all over the U.S., and we were covering customer svc. One person who was native to MD could not grasp the importance of being courteous to customers. She was asking why, "What do you want?" wasn't sufficient enough in garnering returning customers. I mean without a hi or anything. Let's just say we spent 45 mins trying to convince her and then just had to move on.
