 The Seven Moods of the Holy Spirit
| By Fuchsia Pickett
If we think of the term mood in a common human sense, we may miss something important about the Holy Spirit: He has moods too!
We speak of people as having "good" moods and "bad" moods. We characterize some by saying they are "moody"—which usually means they are immature and temperamental. However, this negative connotation of moodiness is not inherent in the word's definition.
A mood can be defined simply as "a conscious state of mind or predominant emotion." We can expect the Holy Spirit, as a divine Person, to function in a conscious state of mind and to express emotion in righteousness. It is only our unredeemed human psyches that create "bad" moods that are sinful.
The moods of the Holy Spirit are the frames of mind He uses .... {Read more}

Single & Satisfied
| By Helen Stubblefield Trowbridge
The world has said that you must have a mate in order to be complete, and if you don't, there must be something terribly wrong with you. There were times I believed that lie. I'll never forget the woman in church who said to me, "Helen, you'd better hurry up and get married, or you are just going to dry up like an old raisin, and nobody is going to want you."
Another woman said, "You better get married soon, the biological clock is ticking. Tick, tick, tick. You'd better get busy and find a man." For years those words would vex my soul. .... {Read more}

When Must a Child Reap What He Sows? | By Lee Ezell
In the Garden of Eden, everything was beautiful, lovely and tranquil. All was in order—except for God's children, Adam and Eve. After the snake in the grass convinced them that an apple a day would be good for their health, God dismissed them from the Garden. This was the first historical example of "sowing and reaping."
God held the first man and woman accountable for their actions. They were told to pack up their fig leaves and hit the road. The Lord gave them .... {Read more}

 Prayer Can Turn it Around
| By Valerie G. Lowe
Have you ever read Frank Peritti’s This Present Darkness? I read it mabye 15 years ago and it changed my prayer life forever. The book is about spiritual warfare and what happens when Christians pray—or don’t pray. I held on to every word, comma and semicolon in the book because it taught me the value of seeking God.
After watching Gloria Copeland’s powerful healing prayer in Say It, Sister!, I thought I would invite you to join me in prayer right here on SpiritLed Woman eMagazine. Let’s pray for the lost, our loved ones, broken marriages, our nation, and whatever else in need of God’s intervention.
I believe this world will soon get what it deserves if the church does not repent of its slothfullness and pray more. .... {Read more}

Why We Must Embrace the Cross
| By Francois de Fenelon
Do you wonder why God has to make it so hard on you? Why doesn't He make you good without making you miserable in the meantime? Of course He could, but He does not choose to do so.
He wants you to grow a little at a time and not burst into instant maturity. This is what He has decided, and you can only adore His wisdom—even when you don't understand it.
I am awed by .... {Read more}

Private Lessons With God
| By Katrina Spigner
On a Sunday morning, several years ago, I walked into the sanctuary at my local church during the praise and worship portion of our service. As I made my way to the balcony, I noticed the worshipers all around me up on their feet leaping, shouting in acclamation, and clapping their hands in seemingly sincere celebration.
But as others stood around me in exuberant corporate participation, I .... {Read more}
