Godly women think and act like God. They understand how to promote the Gospel and they carry the nature of God, so they can help bring God’s Kingdom to Earth.

Many people think that a sinful life and fleshly behavior should be a normal struggle, but it isn’t and shouldn’t be. The Bible said that Jesus died to perfect us and he gives us everything needed to avoid sin and defeat the plans of the enemies in our lives.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

If we are not behaving and acting like Jesus then we are not allowing the full gospel to take control of our life. Whenever we behave opposite of God’s character that means we need healing in our hearts and mind. If you struggle in this area, you may lack faith in God’s goodness or you have pain that has caused you to get stuck in bad patterns.
