I can't believe I'm staring the devil and death at the same time right now. I shook my head and wanted no other part in this but I just went along with it.
"When we're done with this I don't want you coming anywhere near me. I don't want you talking to me, I don't even want to be in the same room as you. I don't like this at all and you've put me in a situation that I really do not like. Lose all contact with me. As a matter of fact forget you even ever met me"
I walked past him and I left out the door. I got into one of the cars he had and I drove around just looking at places to go. I went shopping and bought come brochures trying to clear my head a little more. I started talking to God and I eventually went back to the house. When I came in everybody was saying they were going to leave so I had to.
I had to talk to these women with no kind of clue about life they were just doing what their boyfriends said. Well they say that's what they were but in reality they were just there pimps so I took the opportunity to talk to them about God.
"Ladies you know you don't need man to make you happy. The only one that'll make you happy and keep a smile on your face is God. With man nothing lasts. Everything you do may be good for the moment but when it comes down to it when it's gone then what? Is your happiness worth a man beating you, raping you, putting you in situations you don't want to be in? Y'all are young ladies and shouldn't have to go through a storm like this"
"Well I grew up without a father and there were no real man figures in my life. My mom tried to play the role of a mother and father and I was applaud her, but it's just some things she couldn't do. And I had to find a way myself and this is it. Whenever I'm stressed or I'm feeling down my man is always there to give me something I need whether it's sex or drugs it still makes me feel better"
"You know what should make you feel better? Prayer. When you pray you're just have a conversation with God. You can talk to him about everything, and he already knows what's going on with you. Drugs does nothing but destroy your body. Why do drugs and kill yourself slowly than pray and feel so much better?"
"Well now that you put it that way..."
"Yes there are a lot of things you can do besides corrupt yourself and you know you're not supposed to have sex until you're married right? I'm not saying it's not going to be hard because it definitely is and it's tempting but if you find someone who believes in the same thing you do then it won't be hard. Or you can just focus on yourself and let God put that special someone in your life. Besides when it's judgment day do you want to answer why you were having sex before you were married and you knew that wasn't the right thing?"
"No", all the ladies in the room said at the same time
"Alright then"
"But wait what are we supposed to do now?"
"Talk to your men and tell them. If they accept it then they're for you but if not leave. Besides one of the reasons men don't marry their women is because they figure why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Why would I marry you and stay committed when I can just have sex with you. What's the difference between us being married now and us being married later? You see what I mean?"
"Yeah but I don't know how to pray", another woman said.
"Well let's do a simple prayer together right now come on", everybody held each others hands in a circle.
"Everybody bow your heads and close your eyes. Father God I want to say thank you for waking us up this morning and thank you for allowing us to see another day. God as I am with these group of ladies God touch each in every one of them so they may come out of their flesh so that they will do your will. God lead them in the right path which is yours and lead the men in their life in the same direction. Father God uplift each one of these women right now and let their lives be as smooth as a peaceful shore and let nothing get in their way of doing anything other than your word. God I ask you this in your loving son Jesus' name. Amen."
