"Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else." Isaiah 45:22
-The eyes are the main gate we have leading to our minds, our imaginations, and our hearts. Just one look can be powerful and life changing.
-Consider the power of ‘just one look…’Let’s take a quick trip through the Bible and see ’just one look’ from beginning to end.

I.   JUST ONE LOOK CAN BRING CONDEMNATION.

A. EVE IN THE GARDEN.
-    (GEN 3:1-6) Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

-   Adam came along and saw what had happened…and he took a look at her, a look at the tree, and said, oh well, give me a bite, and he sinned with his eyes wide open…and just one look is all it took.

B. LOT’S WIFE. (GEN 19:26)

God warned them not to look back (V.17) but she did and became a salt lick in the desert…and just one look was all it took.

C. ACHAN. (JOSH. 7:21)

God’s people were instructed not to take of the spoils of this battle. But Achan saw, he coveted, he took.

D. DAVID & BATHSHEBA. (II SAM 11:2)

He saw, he lusted, he sinned. David could have seen Bathsheba taking a bath, and turned away – but he chose to go down the slide. James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Men are very visual creatures, and Jesus said we can commit adultery with just a look…so we must set up serious safeguards: Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Men, we all need to be weary of: The television, the computer, magazines, coworkers, neighbors, complete strangers!
Good news is…

1. JUST ONE LOOK CAN BRING JUSTIFICATION.

- The murmuring of d children of Israel brought death but God raised a bronze staff & said anyone who looked @ it will not die. (NUM. 21:Cool John 3:14

- They mustn’t look at the wrong thing…only looking to the serpent would spare their lives. Sadly, today:MANY ARE LOOKING TO A PERSON, INSTITUTION, WEALTH, PARENTS
- But they look in the wrong direction unless they look to Jesus! Hebrews 12:2
                                   
2.  JUST ONE LOOK CAN BRING SANCTIFICATION. (MATT 17:Cool
- Matthew 17:8  And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. Story of Peter & Co @ d transfiguration
- They took their eyes off everything and everybody except Jesus.
- Just one look was all it took to find real sanctification.
- When Peter walked on the water he began to sink when he ‘saw’ the winds and waves around him, but when he looked to Jesus he was alright!
- What’s the first thing you look to each morning?
Psalm 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Daily sanctification is just a look away!

3. JUST ONE LOOK WILL BRING GLORIFICATION. (I JOHN 3:2)
1 John 3:2 Beloved,  now  are we the sons of God,  and  it doth not yet appear  what  we shall be:  but  we know  that,  when he shall appear,  we shall be  like  him;  for  we shall see  him as he is.
- THE CURSE WILL BE LIFTED.
- THE POWER OF TEMPTATION & SIN WILL LOSE IT’S GRIP.
- ALL SICKNESS WILL BE ELIMINATED.
- DEATH WILL BE SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.
- DISAPPOINTMENT AND DISCOURAGEMENT WILL EVAPORATE.
- ALL LUST, GREED, MALICE, JEALOUSY, & HEARTACHE WILL BE GONE FOREVER.

3  Forum / Relationships & Romance / Things Men Notice About Women the Most - Laws of Attraction on: 27-06-2011 10:06 PM
 Ladies! There are certain things which your guy might not tell you but might look for in you. Men aren't just drawn to a woman who has the perfect figure, the perfect smile or mesmerizing eyes. Also, not everyone is blessed with these attributes. There are a number of things that guys look for when they meet a girl. Here in this article, let's discuss just few of them:

1) Hands: Men like to notice the movement of your hands and study it intensely. They love to see how you grip objects of different shapes and sizes that appeal your hands. Get a proper manicure done and also pay importance to the complexion of your hands as they portray daintiness and strength. Even if the man is not a hand holder, your hands can tempt him to hold them.

2) Hair: It doesn't matter whether your hair has split ends or not but what matters is the sweet smell of your hair and its looks. Tidy up your hair and watch out for the magic it does. It can simply do simple actions that can provoke powerful emotions. So learn to know how to do your hair properly and take proper care of them.

3) Attitude and Figure: Whether you have the perfect figure or not, if you look feminine, then men will, for sure, drool on you. This is one such asset of a woman which is simply irresistible for the guys. Your attitude that goes along with your femininity is also important. A calm, well-composed and feminine attitude is all that you need to be the queen of their hearts. Be coy but also be a little candid.

4) Outfit: What you wear is also quite important. This, however, does not mean that you get all dressed up for the date or go on a shopping spree to get just the right kind of dress. All that we mean is to wear something that may make you look presentable.

5) Cleavage: Men like to look at the chest of the women. So learn to  flaunt it in an elegant manner. This does not mean that you must unbutton your shirt and walk around. All that is required to tacitly flaunt it without any vulgarity attached to it.

6) Smile: Your smile is, what can work wonders for you. A smiling face is like a mirror to your personality and mind. Whether you are a woman of substance or not, your smile will automatically show it. And always remember to smile from heart as a fake smile is a major turn off for men.

7) Make-up: What is make-up? It is an art of enhancing your better features, making them the best and lightening the features or spots of your face that you don't want to highlight. There is no idea of applying layers and layers of make-up just to prove what you are not indeed. Large eyes made small, dark complexion made fairer is not the justice you are doing just to impress a guy and making him fall in love with the beauty that is not real.

Other than the above points there are also a couple of other things like how you smell, your compassion, confidence level etc. All this things come to the picture when a guy looks at you. To some, it might sound vague but attention to vanity is important when it comes to love. So to widen your scope of meeting the number of men keep these things in mind.

So ladies if one of this is missing in, work on yourself[/img][/img]
