So, I’ve decided my next (and last) husband is going to be
an archangel.
I know, I know…you’re laughing, right?
That’s okay. Let me explain. I don’t mean a literal
archangel, like Michael or Gabriel. They’re probably too busy for a wife, and
far too old for me.
I mean a man with true archangel-type qualities. I recently
realized that for me to fulfill my purpose, in love and in life, that’s what I’ll
need. Therefore, that’s what God will provide. What could my purpose possibly
be that would require an archangel? I know, right?! LOL. Well, God knows and so
will my archangel husband-to-be.
What I can say is this…To truly know what and who you want
and need, you have to know who you are. To know what’s truly best for you, you
have to know your purpose.
Dr. Myles Munroe speaks on this a lot. If you don’t know the
purpose of a thing, you’re destined to misuse it. That includes knowing your
own purpose. Well, I know my purpose, and I’ve embraced it, so I know who I
need. And my archangel husband…he knows his purpose, and he knows what type of
woman he needs to fulfill it. Like all true love stories, we’ll know each other
when we find each other. (I’m not out there looking for him, ladies. He’ll find
me when God says it’s time. But I’ll know him when I see him!)
Let me tell you about my archangel husband and why I know he’s
the one for me. (I just love talking about my man, by the way…)
Archangels are leaders. My archangel husband has to be a
leader because I’m a leader. I don’t want a man that needs or wants me to
lead him. I want a man who, after I get home from a hard but productive day
of leading, says, “Relax, baby. I got this. I got you.” And, ladies, I don’t
mean dinner – although my archangel can most likely cook. I mean I don’t have
to come home and “run him.” I will run my house, because in my view that’s my
responsibility and I embrace it. (FYI – to all you women who are bristling out
there – running my house doesn’t mean I can’t have a housekeeper and a cook.) My archangel husband won’t want or need me to
come home and treat him like a baby. He’ll want me to treat him like a man and
he’ll want to treat me like a woman – his woman. (unh unh unh!)
When we go out, my archangel husband will lead. Whenever we’re
together, in fact, he will lead. I will be able to unstrap my “ladywood”
because his...will be more than enough. He won’t be a bully or a tyrant, but a
strong, confident man who has his woman’s back, and knows his woman has his
back. Always. Unequivocally. Without question, without reserve, and without
hesitation.
A true archangel knows what it means to have someone’s back.
When Jesus was being arrested or attacked, he KNEW and said he could call on “legions
of angels” if he wanted to. Archangels had Jesus’ back! That’s what I’m talking
about! You know my baby’s going to have my back!
Archangels are leaders, but they’re also servants – serving at
the pleasure of the Lord! (Oh that’s my man! That’s my man!!)
An archangel knows who he serves. He knows he doesn’t do
anything by his own power, but by the power of the Lord.
Conversely, there’s a name for an archangel (or man) who
thinks he’s doing it (or can do it) all on his own, by his own hand, by his own
power – Lucifer. That’s not the type of angel or man I’m looking for.
My archangel husband will be powerful but humble at the same
time. Only arrogant men need to boast of their accomplishments. True power,
true confidence lets its work speak for itself. Archangels don’t need to one-up
anyone. They don’t need to recite their achievements or wear them on their
sleeve. They carry themselves with authority and humility. They have nothing to
prove to anyone because they already know who they are! Yes!
I will have all faith and trust in my archangel husband
because I will know completely and undeniably that he’s my protector and
provider and supporter and my wonderful love-angel. Archangels understand and
embrace the power of love. They’re not afraid of it. It’s their love for God
and their understanding (and embracing) of His love for them that allows them
to give and receive love freely! (Whoo! I love my archangel husband already!) People
who know me know I love without reserve and my archangel husband will receive
and return that love 100-fold.
My archangel husband will be made stronger because he’ll
know he has the love of a good woman at all times. I’ll be made stronger by his
love. We will be the perfect, power couple because our love will be our
generator and our foundation.
Archangels are warriors. My archangel husband will have to
be a warrior, because that’s who and what God has called me to be. My archangel
husband not only won’t shrink away from battles, he’ll understand that I can’t
and won’t either. He’ll know which battles I can handle on my own, which ones
we need to fight side by side, and which ones he’ll have to stand in front of
me and battle on my behalf. (Oh, I love my protective archangel husband to be!!)
Archangels don’t hesitate to fight for the side of right…which
means they understand the difference between wrong and right. A man who can’t
even conquer the wrong in his own life, is not an archangel-type. A true
archangel-type man is not perfect – because no man is. But he self-corrects and
seeks the Lord in areas where he may have challenges. He doesn’t deny
wrongdoing or sin in his life. He faces it, admits it and then conquers it –
with God’s help. That’s true archangel-type behavior.
An archangel is not trapped in bondage by sin and fear. He
understands that truth and love are two of the most powerful weapons God has
given us to fight with. He runs his life with those two things - truth and love.
My archangel husband is the same on the outside as he is on
the inside. He’s not presenting one side to the world and another in private. A
man who lies to himself and to others (or as scripture says, “looks in the
mirror and immediately forgets what he looks like”) is not my archangel. My
archangel husband is exactly who and what he presents himself to be! He is truthful
to himself, to the world and to me, as I will be to him.
Speaking of truth, an archangel can be trusted with Godly
things, worldly things, people – and with everything that concerns me…my
spirit, my child, my family, my finances, my body, my mind and my heart. My
archangel husband will be the spiritual head of our household.
A dear friend of mine questioned whether or not she should
be looking for an archangel, as well. I told her not everyone needs one. It
depends on your purpose. She jokingly responded, “Well, I don’t want a
spiritual punk.” LOL – none of us want one of those. I assured her there are a
lot of wonderful men in between a spiritual punk and an archangel.
In all honesty, I used to think I was going to have to marry
a pastor, based on my purpose and calling. However, I realized (and told my
friend) that pastors are not usually archangels, they’re usually more like
Jesus – loving and merciful and gentle teachers. Archangels aren’t above Jesus,
in fact, they do Jesus’ bidding. Pastors are usually assigned to shepherd a
particular flock. For the most part, they have to remain stationary. Archangels,
on the other hand, go wherever they’re called. They go where the battle is –
which is what I’m called to do.
My archangel and I will be all over the world – sometimes literally,
sometimes figuratively, through the areas of work and purpose to which I’m called (and
presumably he will be, too). Our gifts and talents will be complementary. We’ll
strengthen and support each other, working hand in hand…literally, figuratively and lovingly.
This may all seem unrealistic to some people reading my
blog. That’s okay. It’s not unrealistic to my archangel husband-to-be.
God has already told me I’m going to remarry. He’s already
told me that my next husband will be my last. He’s already told me that
together my husband and I will fulfill our purposes. Me helping him, and him
helping me. I don’t need anyone else to co-sign on that for me….except my
archangel when the Lord introduces us!
But for you doubters, let me say this…there’s someone for
everyone. I’ve seen the most unattractive people happy in love. I’ve seen the
least intelligent people happy in love. I’ve seen blind and paralyzed people
happy in love. Their spouses are uniquely qualified and designed just for them.
They were made for each other.
I know who I am and I know my purpose. My archangel husband
is uniquely qualified, designed by God, to be my partner. The bottom line is,
if I exist, then so does he.
I’m looking so forward to meeting him!!
Constantly Thinking...about my archangel husband-to-be.
