It is difficult to stand our ground today if we do not put on the whole armour of God, we also need to fast and pray and stay in God's Word. Standing our ground can be victorious when we do not give in to the devil temptation. Why are the saints in Revelation 12:11 considered victorious over the devil? Is because they overcame by the blood of Jesus.

I think that the reason why it is so difficult to be believe in the devil and demons in our day is because they don't take them serious and they do believe in him. Also there are so many television programs showing mediums and familar spirits that are friendly and the world believe that this ok, this is all that you see on TV now adays. And plus we believe that once we are born again that we do not have to worry about the devil. Their existence causes all kind of hardship, pain, war, killing, drugs and sickness. With the powers that they hand we can stand because we have God. God is more powerful,......."Greater is He then that is in me then he that is in the world..." God is greater! The devil cannot make you do anything. We cannot blame our wrong choices that we make when we are tempted. If we do not use what God have given us and when we fall we can not blame that on the devil.

Christians employers and church boards members should treat their employee with respect, fairness and justly. I think that a just wage should be base on experience and the current economy.

The characteristics for a christian employee should be respect to our employer, should always be on time, to be honest. We are to work as unto the Lord and not with eye service. A good work attitude will help in difficult situations.

We can never say anything good about them, always talking them down. Disrepecting our children, not showing them love nor support. When we discipline some it is done out of anger and not love. The training and instruction of the Lord should involves training your children in the ways of the Lord, by Bible reading. having daily devotions, going to church together, teaching them to pray. We should instruct our children in love and in godly wisdoms.

The kind of obedience and honor that adult children are to show towards their parents, show be with obedience, respect, loving and caring. We should always remember our parents who love and cared for us when we were growing up. What might be the exception? I believe that when they becomes elders sometimes they are not able to do for themselves, we should be there for them, not to forget about them. We should always respect and forgive our parents. All parents are not perfect, they have made some mistakes in riseing us (I know that I have made some mistakes in riseing my son, and my parents have made some in riseing me) forgiveness is the keys, we must forgive, just like God has forgiven us.

Christ is our husband because He loves me, take care of me, provide for me. Jesus is the head of the Church, He is the husband and we are His bride. We she be submissive to Cfhrist in all that we do. Christ responsibilities towards us is to love us (which He does) care for us, provide and protect us.

In what sense is a husband's care for his wife's needs just common sense in taking care of his own needs? The husband cares and love his wife as he would himself. What is the principle from Genesis 2:24 that underlies this? The man and wife is now one flesh, they are no longer two.

Does being head of the wife involve being "boss"? No, Why or why not? The wife is a helpmate to here, she is by his side not under his feet. And the bible says husband love your wife not boss her. What does being "head" require of a husband? The husband is the prince and spiritual leader of his household. What is the example husbands are to follow in headship? The husbands are to follow Jesus Christ.

The wife should submit to her husband because he is the head of the household, as Cfhrist is head of the Church. The wife husband is still head of the household, but she should submit as long as she is not asked to do something immoral, unlawful or dangerous, dhe would have to tell him in a loving and wise way that she could not do this. The wife still can be submissive and does not have to verbally disagress. If there is a conflict with the wife conscience then she should go to God in prayer about the matter.

Our attitude should be of praise, thankgiving, joy and of worship unto God. I believe that corporate singing help us to worship together as one body, everyone worshiping together. Singing in our own daily life in worship bring ou closer into the presence of God.

I think that the primary temptation is that people want to feel good, get a quite high, they get stress, worry and have problems. There is no substitute but the Holy Spirit. I believe that being filled with the Spirit gives us the power and inner strength to fend off any temtation that comes our way.

Because these are desperate/evil time that we are living in. I think that we resist this because often we are afraid of what others will think/say of us. We need a renewing and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our life.

Sexuality is for mariage only, we are to save ourself for the mate that God has plan for us. Sexuality is part of our spiritual life when you are marry.

I think why it is so difficult to foregive is because of our pride and I also think that we put too much trust into that person. God is our example for giveness.

Gossip is the biggest unwholesome talk that is very common among us Christians. 1) Does what we say build others up? Does it edify, enlighten, or encourage them? 2) Is it according to the hearer's needs? Does he or she really need to hear what we have to say? 3) Is it beneficial to the hearer. Slander is putting down someone, bad talking them. This is very common among Christians. How can we prevent it? I believe by praying and ask the Holy Spirit to guide our mouth.

God has given us free will.and so that we could express our feelings toward things that are not right and have control over our emotions. anger can become dangerous when we do not put it in check, when we do not keep it in control. how can we keep from sinning when we are angry? What I do is walk away or start praying within myself, asking for God help and control. Anger is not a sin unless we let it get out of hand.

The mindset of the secular world is very darken and backard.. I is all about self. They have the mindset of anything goes, if it feels good do it! It is not even safe to turn on your TV today, because sex is everywhere or half naked men/women are on it. Today people do not have the fear of God.

The old model of the pastor of the Church is trying to do everything on his own and not using his members. This hinder the people in the congregation by not growing in the gifts that was given to them. This hurt the community because now the message of salvation is not being share to them, because the members in the church are not using their gifts. The purose of the pastors and teachers are to train and equip the saints for the work of ministry.

A preson may have a group Bible study in their home or at a community center. If a senior pastor does not have the spiritual gift of pastoring (how can he pastor? ). The church should pray that the Lord would send them one that can lead the church. All of our gifts come from God.

I believe that we can stir up the gift of evangelism among our congregation by reminding them of the great commission given by Jesus Christ in Matt. 28:18-20, "Go and make disciples of all nations.......teaching them...." Everyone born again believer is an evangelists . We all are to be an witness to the lost. But there are some of us who has a strong calling from God or a stronger gifting to be a evangelists. I believe that by encouraging and stimulating the gifts of evangelism in our midst among our spirit-fill member is that they first need to know their word (the Bible), belong to a Bible teaching Church. Have evangelism class (training). Learn all you can learn on salvation, to have a love for the lost (to see them save) and stir up the gifts that God has plase within us and pray for God leading.

The functions of an apostles of today would be to establish and be over seers of differance churches. To be a teacher of the word and oversee his congregation. To establish (to know) the giftings in his members so that they can help minister to the church. To detect a false a apostles is one who do not do the work of God, that do not have a teaching minstry. He is someone who just wants to have the title.

Our spiritual gifts are given to us by God. Both our natural and spirital gifts are given to us by God.

We must work at it with all of our heart, with all of the power that is within us. This bond of peace is what holds us together.

Without patience and humility we will have a problem with each other. We must let Jesus change our heart.
