And before you even take your first helping of mashed potatoes, that little voice inside pipes up - 'You'd better watch what you eat!', 'Might as well just put that piece of pie right on your hips.', and 'Well, there goes your diet!' Then you feel bad, guilty about the thought of enjoying the wonderful food, made with love for loved ones. Fear not! There are ways to quiet that little voice! Find out how inside...
When you hear the word victory, what comes to mind? Do you think of a relentless fighter? Or, the thought of winning an exhausting race? Perhaps the very challenge of obtaining victory makes you nervous? Whatever the thought, victory tends to manifest itself in many different forms. It can be found amidst all types of backgrounds, experiences, and circumstances. And, certainly, PreachingWoman.com is privileged to present you with a living epistle of victory in the person of Pastor Michel White-Haynes. She graciously accepted our invitation to be featured on PreachingWoman.com and encourage you that in any and in every case, you too can be victorious!
Pastor Michel White-Haynes is the Founder and Pastor of the Greater Faith Temple Church of the Living God in the Bronx, N.Y. She carries an Apostolic mantle upon her life and has been called by God to be a covering for a number of ministries.

What separates Martha from her sister Mary is that Martha did not order her time by her priorities. She may have sincerely thought that welcoming Jesus was most important, but her behavior did not reflect that. It's as if she had a choice of visiting with Jesus or vacuuming, and she chose the vacuum. It's not that Mary didn't help out with the chores. I believe she did-perhaps she did the dishes before Jesus arrived. But once Jesus set foot in their home, Mary dropped the busy work in favor of what really mattered-spending quality time with her Lord. Read more inside...
If all of God's preachers are declaring His truth without fear, favor or fanaticism why is there so much compromise among the believers. Somehow, some preachers and teachers have shifted from representing and obeying God to representing and protecting themselves. How can we intently preach about Jonah but omit the Jonah likeness that draws us away from our mission? How can we wag a finger at David and his fall in sexual sin, yet we provide platforms and places for our carnal nature to prevail and we speak not a mumbling word? Find out the answers inside...
Let's face it ladies, as a preacher, there is nothing more exciting than preaching. (Not even a new pair of shoes can compare!) But as a preacher, how do you get an opportunity to preach? While there may be several ways (at the request of family and friends), it usually happens by God touching someone's heart (a complete stranger) to ask you. If ever you are blessed with someone extending an invitation for you to come and minister, I believe that there are at least five things you should know so that you can respond professionally. Therefore, in this issue, we shall discuss how ministers should respond to a ministry invite. Find out more inside...
When it comes to doing the work of the Lord Dr. Kecia DeCosta Ford's motto can be found in Matthew 9:37, "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few." Known for her acumen and precision in the Word of God and her passion to educate and equip the Body of Christ, Pastor Dr. Kecia Ford is a God fearing woman who is interested in building up God's Kingdom seeking the least, the last and the lost; binding up the broken hearted, and proclaiming freedom for the captives.
One thing that is helpful to remember when creating sermons is that sermons are intended to be preached and not read word for word. The point of a great sermon is for it to have an immediate impact upon your listening audience; whether in person, via video, or audio. In order to realize this impact, your thoughts, ideas, and revelation should be well structured, organized, and outlined to ensure that the main points are highlighted and conveyed to your listening audience.

If bad posture has become a norm for you, then you may have realized that it's time to do something about it. Of course, you can purchase a back or posture support to help you stand or sit straight, but you'll notice that as soon as you remove the brace, your back goes right back to the same slouched position. Wearing a posture support only gives your back and neck short-term support. What you need is a method that will enable you to correct your posture and help you to stand upright.

Think back to the last time you got the invitation to minister to God's people. What emotions did you experience? Perhaps you felt unworthy. Maybe you even felt unprepared. Did your emotions get the best of you? Well, you are not alone. You would be amazed to learn that a vast number of others experience these same sentiments. But, help is here! We were blessed with the exceptional opportunity to speak one on one with one of God's choicest vessels, Co-Pastor Dr. Doris L. P. Griffin. She graciously accepted our invitation to be featured on our site to inspire you to get beyond the emotions to "Be Prepared and Encouraged!" Read more inside...
