Ladies Meeting at Crossroads

Ladies dancing and enjoying themselves


We had an excellent time at our Ladies meeting held at Crossroads this morning. The ladies really enjoyed themselves singing and dancing. It’s great seeing the older ladies “getting down” and worshipping God.
Our topic was on “The attacks/lies of the enemy”. We looked at it from a physical point of view and a spiritual point of view……


I showed the ladies 5 defence techniques that they could use if someone attacked them physically. They all paired up and did the demonstrations. That was really hilarious. They all had a good laugh.

We then moved on to “How to care for your hands” – hands can be used in a positive or negative way. The demonstrations worked really well. The ladies also washed their hands.



Demonstration on how to wash hands


The 3 things that came up that bring ladies down and where the enemy attacks the most is:
a) Feeling like you are not good enough, especially if you sin. Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
b) Worrying about many things Philippians 4:6 – 7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” & Matthew 6:27 – 34 which speaks about worrying. A key verse is vs 33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
c) Comparison – feeling like you don’t have enough. 1 Timothy 6:6 “Now Godliness with contentment is great gain.”


Discussion Groups


The ladies got into 3 groups for discussions before we had an open question and answer time. That was really interesting as the ladies shared about things affecting them. We prayed together before parting ways. The ladies enjoyed themselves very much. It’s just wonderful seeing them laugh and being so open about different issues.
