Listen as we discuss with our special guest Shateara Louissaint, Founder of Cute & Covered, on what modesty means in 2021! As women of God we are expected to present ourselves according to a standard that contradicts the "normal" look of society. In a world where women are overly-sexualized across all platforms, who is there to be a model modest woman? The outward appearance is only part of the final presentation, your overall character with how to conduct yourselves is just as important to give God the glory he deserves!

Faith is the basis of our walk with God. He may not always disclose every detail with you but you can trust that you will get the victory based on his word and your experience. Share his great works with those you encounter so you can encourage and help build up their faith. Each experience you have with him is to carry you to the next level of faith. Understanding his word will cause you to discern between your voice and the voice of God. 

Pursuing our passions is sometimes the driving force in trying to find fulfillment. However, while walking with God we must keep him first to lead us. We're allowed to want things and to achieve prosperity but it is important we do not rely solely on those natural things. The more we seek God, the more his will for us will be revealed. Through submission and obedience, the more we will hear the Lord's voice concerning steps towards our future. As a result, we will be bear more spiritual fruit. 

How do you know an opportunity is from the Lord? God can answer you in various ways. First, the opportunity can be backed up by scripture. The Lord will not send anything your way that contradicts his word. Second, God answers your prayer. Third, you can receive confirmation from wise counsel. If you're struggling in a certain area, confide in those that are God led that will respond honestly and in wisdom. Fourth, you might feel uncomfortable in your current situation. The Lord may be positioning you for this next transition. Fifth, unexpected blessings are presented. The sixth indicator, God can answer you in a dream. Seventh, this opportunity can bless other people. The eighth sign, is this opportunity brings a peace that only the Lord can give. Lastly the ninth indicator, is the Lord will confirm in prayer.

Are you operating in the authority given by our Lord Jesus Christ? If so, it is crucial that we must allow the Holy Ghost to provide discernment on when and where to exercise this authority. Also, we have to maintain a level of responsibility while on this walk to ensure we do not abuse this power. Let's remember to always stay connected to the power so we can avoid showing up powerless during tough battles. Being in consistent connection with God will allow us to always show up with the power, no matter how big the situation appears to be all for his glory.

Being in your feelings can cause us to be led by our emotions and not spiritually guided. This is why we must stay connected to a higher power that is able to check us when we are ready to respond based on our feelings. Being filled with the Holy Ghost develops a new standard for us to operate to when we are effected by a situation that has had a direct or indirect impact. Let's learn to be in tune with what we're feeling at that time, but instead of reacting, give it to God first! 

Being unequally yoked does not only include relationships with a husband and wife, but it also includes family, friends, coworkers, and etc. We must ask ourselves, if we're living according to the standards of the bible when new relationships emerge in our life? So what are we to do? It is important that we become who God has called us to be, before we try to be something for someone else! During these times, we must learn to trust, delight, commit, wait, and rest (Ps. 37: 3-7) KJV.
