PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL

THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3)

Moral to the story: Be flexible for your man. 

A caution : Your most important job as a prophet's wife is keeping chaste and common sense attitude and conversation (not bad-mouthing folks).  Without it, your marriage will be miserable. 

In this chapter, Debi began to talk about the types of men we have. She divided them into the Prophet type, the Priest and the King. The first one we are considering today is the Prophet. 

"As a man moves into his late twenties and early thirties his image will become much more pronounced." Debi Pearl 

Your ability to know who your man is, what he wants and how to serve him will bring fulfillment and bliss to you. 

Give your man all the supports he needs ranging from emotional to spiritual support. 

"The prophet or visionary  type of  man are majorly street preachers, political activists, organizers and instigators of any front-line social issue. They love to challenge the status quo. They are consumed with a need to communicate with words, music, writing, art, or actions. Good hearted prophet's can be a lot of fun. They are never Mr Dull. They can love with a passion and be aggressively loyal to their friends and family. However, if they are not balanced, these prophet /Visionaty types may get fanatically focuses on one of two weird issues, and in the process, upset the whole family. " Debi Pearl 

The prophet type can be so romantic that you will see yourself as the most important person on earth. However , he might focus on some projects sometimes and make you feel abandoned. 

What do you do at that moment? If you are the clingy type of wife who does not have life goals, you will feel depressed that he is not giving you attention as he ought to. That is why you must not be the  lazy type who doesn't have anything doing. 

"You need a life, a vibrant life, before your man comes on the scene. A clingy useless wife that lacks drive, goals, ambitions, or dreams is just that useless." Debi Pearl 

If you will be getting married to a prophet, you must be ready to support his goals, give him full attention, praying for him so that he may be focused. 

"Often the difference between a productive prophet and a destructive prophet is a good, supportive, stable woman. An unwise wife with negative words can turn a prophet into an Antichrist, an inventor into a destroyer. Every prophet needs a good, wise, prudent, stable wife who has a positive outlook on life." Debi Pearl 

Do not speak negatively into his life. Honour him and you will see your home becoming a haven. If you are not the wise type, you may not know how to help him. Ask for wisdom to be a help meet for your husband's needs. 

"For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile..." 1 Peter 3:1

Refrain your tongue from speaking evil

 You as a prophet wife must be someone who does not take offence easily. Due to the nature of your man, he might blow  matters out of proportion. So, you as a wife must guide your tongue so that your words do not send in fiery darts of the enemies to him. 

Lessons learnt :

• Get busy with your life. Don't be a clingy wife. Be productive. 

• Understanding who your man is will teach you how to serve him honourably. 

• When he shares issues with you, or how he feels about a matter, don't throw water on his fire. Listen attentively and know how to present your views with wisdom. 

• Most importantly, communicate your heart to God. Pray for your man that he may be who God what's him to be. Pray for him not to lose focus.
