🔥 THE WORLD GAVE YOU POWER—THEN HID THE

PRICE TAG

Comfort over correction has made you blind to purpose.

Before you read:

Speaking as a husband of 20 years, a Father of two daughters, and a sincere Man of the Most High...
This isn’t about tearing women down.
It’s about calling you up.
If you’ve never had a man speak truth without chasing you, flattering you, or needing something from you—this may feel unfamiliar.
But unfamiliar doesn’t mean unloving.

Yes, men have failed. And yes, they have their reckoning too.
But this message isn’t about them. It’s about you.

You can’t heal by hiding behind someone else’s faults.
This is your moment to look inward, not sideways.
The world has fed you power while stripping away your purpose.
This is your chance to reclaim it.

🔹 The Illusion of Power

These days, it seems like women have everything the world promised.

They’re more financially independent than ever.
They have the freedom to build, travel, and make decisions without asking anyone for permission.
They have control in relationships—or at least, the ability to walk away when something no longer serves them.
Many have settled into partnerships that offer comfort and stability—even if those relationships lack real spiritual connection or attraction.
They’ve traded righteous leadership for emotional support… as long as he doesn’t challenge their choices.

Add to that: platforms, followers, and the power to influence others with a single post.
And on the surface, it feels like freedom.

But beneath the surface, something’s off.
The strength feels hollow.
The independence feels isolating.
And the peace they hoped to find in all this control… still hasn’t arrived.

So the real question becomes:

If this is power—
why are so many still restless, emotionally drained, and cycling through confusion, anxiety, and unhealed relationships?

Could it be… that the world gave you the illusion of power—
but quietly hid the price tag?

🕊️
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
— Proverbs 14:12

Just because it feels like freedom doesn’t mean it leads to life. Some paths look right only because they’re paved with comfort and applause.

🎭 Babylon’s Power Is a Performance, Not Purpose

The system didn’t just offer women more choices—it rewired what “power” looks like.

Today, power is performance.

It’s the ability to appear strong, independent, unbothered, and desirable—whether or not any of that is rooted in truth.

It looks like:

• Moving on quickly after a breakup to “prove” nothing hurt you

• Getting the bag, chasing the brand, keeping up the image—even when your spirit is starving

• Staying in a relationship that feels safe and stable, even though you’re not truly aligned, attracted, or growing

• Tolerating disrespect or spiritual apathy from a man, just to avoid being alone

• Rejecting correction from righteous men—but craving validation from broken ones

• Being hyper-present online… and disconnected in prayer

This is what Babylon calls empowerment.

But empowerment without alignment is deception.
You can gain control and still be out of order.
You can feel strong—and still be enslaved to emotion, appetite, and fear.

The world gave you the stage.
But it stripped you of the covering.

And you’ve been performing ever since—hoping that enough likes, enough money, or enough comfort would somehow translate to peace.
But it hasn’t.

That’s because you weren’t built to perform.
You were built to walk in purpose.
And purpose requires submission—not to a man who wants to control you, but its Creator who wants to restore you.

Until that shift happens, all the power you think you have is just a trap with good lighting.

🕊️
“For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.”
— John 12:43

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
— 2 Timothy 3:5

Performing righteousness and pursuing praise may look spiritual, but it’s hollow without real submission. True power flows from divine purpose, not public approval.

💸 The Hidden Cost

What the system gave you in surface-level freedom, it took back in spiritual sensitivity.

It handed you independence—
but robbed you of divine interdependence.
It gave you emotional autonomy—
but dulled your ability to trust righteous authority.
It gave you control—
but trained you to confuse correction with control.

And the most dangerous part?

It made you allergic to truth—
but addicted to comfort.

You’ve been told over and over again:

“Do what makes you happy.”
“Protect your peace.”
“You don’t owe anyone submission.”
“You’re the prize.”

But what if that peace isn’t real?
What if it’s just numbness in a fancy outfit?

Because here’s the cost Babylon doesn’t show you on the front end:

• Your feminine softness becomes guarded hardness

• Your discernment dulls under emotional entitlement

• Your attraction to righteousness turns into suspicion or resistance

• Your children inherit confusion—while the world applauds your “strength”

• You start calling leadership “toxic,” and call compromise “balance”

That’s the trap:
The system gives you comfort…
Then uses that comfort to keep you from correction.
And without correction, you can’t grow.
You can’t align.
You can’t be used by the Kingdom in the fullness of your design.

So yes—there’s a cost.

And while the world may let you keep your platform, your man, your money, or your image—
you’ll lose the very thing Heaven wanted to give you: clarity, calling, and covenant.

🕊️
“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
— Mark 8:36

🕊️
“Because thou sayest, I am rich... and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”
— Revelation 3:17

Gaining comfort at the cost of conviction isn’t winning. It’s spiritual bankruptcy dressed up as self-love.

🛑 Why Correction Feels Like Criticism (But Isn’t)

Let’s be real.

Most women today weren’t taught how to receive correction from a man—especially a righteous one.
They were either:

• Abandoned by a man who said nothing

• Abused by a man who corrected without love

• Or enabled by men who wanted access, not alignment

So when a man finally speaks up—not to control you, but to cover you—it feels like attack.
But it’s not.

That discomfort you feel?
It’s not disrespect.
It’s unfamiliarity.
You’re not being torn down—you’re being repositioned.

Because no one ever taught you that real love has boundaries.
That a man who lets you do whatever you want isn’t protecting you—he’s avoiding responsibility.
And a man who loves you will not watch you walk off a spiritual cliff in silence just to keep your mood in check.

The Most High doesn’t send men to flatter you.
He sends them to lead you.
To tell you the truth when no one else will.
To challenge what’s been comfortable—but spiritually destructive.

But here’s the tension:

If you need every man to talk to you like he’s afraid of losing you...
you’ll never listen to a man sent to prepare you for what’s coming.

That’s not correction.
That’s idolatry—where you’ve made your feelings a throne no truth is allowed to sit on.

So ask yourself:

When was the last time you didn’t get defensive?
When was the last time you said, “You’re right,” instead of “You’re judging me”?
When was the last time you let a man check your spirit... without shutting him out?

Because the truth is—if correction always feels like attack,
you may have mistaken your trauma for discernment.

And Babylon will keep using that pain as a shield…
until you lay it down and let the truth heal you.

🕊️
“He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.”
— Proverbs 15:32

🕊️
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
— Proverbs 27:6

Correction isn't cruelty—it's care. When it comes from a place of love and truth, it's not an attack on your worth, but a call back to your alignment.

🔄 You Can Still Return—But It Starts with Unlearning

You’re not too far gone.

Let’s make that clear.

You’re not disqualified because you believed the lies.
You’re not discarded because you got lost in the performance.
But you are being called to unlearn what Babylon taught you—before it’s too late.

You can’t walk into Kingdom alignment carrying a mindset that was made for survival in Egypt.
You can’t serve a holy Creator while defending the habits the system gave you to cope.
You can’t return to righteousness while still needing to be right all the time.

You were told:

“Be independent.”
“Never let a man lead you.”
“Your truth is the only truth.”

But real power doesn’t come from rebellion.
It comes from return.

Return to:

• Discernment over drama

• Purpose over platforms

• Conviction over comfort

• Righteous covering over counterfeit connections

You’ll have to unlearn the idea that submission means weakness.
You’ll have to unlearn the belief that boundaries are rejection.
You’ll have to unlearn the pride that says “No one can tell me anything.”

Because here’s the secret:

The Most High isn’t asking you to shrink.
He’s asking you to realign—so He can expand you, protect you, and use you.

But He won’t bless what’s out of order.
And He won’t force you to choose Him.

So the door is open.

But it’s narrow.
And it’s closing.
And the version of you that Babylon built can’t walk through it.

🕊️
“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
— Romans 12:2

🕊️
“Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God…”
— Jeremiah 26:13

You can't carry Babylon's mindset into Heaven’s order. Your return starts with unlearning what never served your spirit to begin with.

🔮 The Mirror and the Exit Door

If you’ve made it this far, then something in you already knows:

You were never made to survive off attention.
You were never designed to be addicted to comfort.
You were never meant to reject correction and call it self-worth.

You are not disposable.
You are not forgotten.
You are still wanted by the Most High.

But not in the condition Babylon left you in.

You were made for more than appearances.
You were made to walk in Proverbs 31 power—not the version twisted by influencers, but the original design:
A woman who is clothed in strength and honor, who opens her mouth with wisdom, and who fears YAH with reverence.

You were never called to be beneath a man—
You were called to stand beside a righteous man in alignment with the Creator.
Not in competition. Not in rebellion. But in covenant.

That’s the standard.
And deep down, you know it.

Lay it down.
Unlearn the lie.
And come back—while there’s still time.

🕊️
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.”
— 2 Corinthians 13:5

🕊️
“Enter ye in at the strait gate… and few there be that find it.”
— Matthew 7:13–14

The gate is open—but not wide. And what’s required to walk through it is no longer optional.
