Submission is diffulcult for us as humans because we are too prideful and stubborn. I don't believe submission means to be silent, I think you are to voice your opinion in a respectful way, but now if your spouse does not want to hear it I believe you should be silent until there is a better time to discuss the situation. There may never come a good time to talk about it, and that will be a problem, but what can you do but leave it alone. Submission is wrong when your spouse is trying to get you to commit a sin, or is abussive to you.

Why does sin have power over us, because we like it. There are some things we don't want to give up. Either is look good, feel good, smell good, taste good or it sound good. We have to make a clean back from our lustful desires we know that is not like God. If we want to gift of eternal life from God we must live in a way that is pleasing to God. We can't fool Him and we need to stop. I know I do. I need God everyday just to stay in His presence. Jesus Christ is the only someone who can help me do that, but I must continually obey Him or I will be lost.

Because the Lord Jesus thought enough of me and everyone else to go through the suffering He did, I am truely grateful. There is no way I could have gone through that on my own. I have more than my everyday life to think about, because of Jesus I have a life. I could be in a burning hell right now. God could have said forget it long time ago and sent us straight to hell and been done with it. Thank you God for your Son Jesus Christ. Amen!

The only sacrifice that God would except was a blameless, without blemish sacrifice. Jesus had to be pure. God would except nothing less. I believe it was like having all the filth of all the sewers in the world being poured on you right after you have been bath in the purest water and fresh scented oils massaged into your skin. Then you look up and all the filth of every sewer in the world is poured on you, and most of all you did nothing to deserve it. The horrible stench of it all. To carry this stench around and not deserve it is awful. But Jesus bared it all because of His love for us.

The Lord Jesus suffered as an example to us in how to react to people who persecute us. We are to reflect Jesus in the way we handle ourselves in unfair situations.

My Lord's faith was so strong and He did it to be an example to us. So He endured it all. We must trust Him to give us the strength and we will be able to show the real meaning of being a follower of Christ. I must trust My Lord with my whole being inorder to endure the way He did. I can't in my own strength take it. I will want to lash out. But if I listen and obey Christ Jesus I will be a good example of Him. I sometimes repeat to myself when things get hard to hold in. "If I hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles then victory shall be mine."

Being conscious of God as an employee shows that you are obedient to God and that you love Him and would suffer for Him. In other words you are teaching other what it really mean to be a Christian. A conscientious Christians can not be a complainer. That does not shine a very good light on what our faith is all about. We can't bring people into God's house if all they hear is complaints. They are going to think God does not have the power to do what He has said in His word He will do or have done. I have reacted to unfair treatment by staying until it became really unbearable. I would pray and ask God to let me leave. That is now. Back in the day. I would guit after I could not take it anymore. It is hard and I cry but I love God and I want Him to get the glory and I need His help to hold on and obey Him.

God expect us to do the best job possible which will make Him look good in front of unbelievers. They will see our good works and start to believe in the God we serve. If we don't do a good job and claim to be Christians this will make the word of God seem like a lie and cause non-believers to doubt God and not seek to obey Him. We must not set a bad example of who God really is.

We are representives of God and He expect us to carry ourselves as such. How can we win people over to Christ if we act like we have no respect for authority hear on earth. We will not have the respect in glory and God is not having that in heaven. God is hurt by our rebellion when we make Him look bad if front of those who innocently seek His face, and we turn those people away from Him.

Living openly as Christians increase God's praise by causing others to be curious about who you are and why you act the way you do. Which opens a door for you to tell them why you are at peace when the world around you is in turmoil. To tell them that you have a God that knows all and that He is always there to comfort you and encourage you to go on in His name. And to show people that they too can be conquers through Jesus Christ our Lord. Once they find out the truth the will rejoice and praise God also.

Peter tells us to, "abstain from the evil desires of this world which war agains our soul." My soul is the only thing the evil one wants. So those in the world who belongs to him will tell me anything that will cause me to give my soul up to him. They tempt our lustful nature with things that look good to us that are not good for us. Sometimes I have fallen for the tricks. But I have a Great God who has rescued me from every trap! Glory to God forever! My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ mediates for me everyday of my life and I am grateful to Him for loving me such much. I am reminded everyday to pray for sight and wisdom to be aware of the arrows that come at me everyday.

We are to change our minds and act like we belong to the royal family of God. We should carry ourselves as lovers of the only one and true God. We should others to see that joining our family is the best thing that will ever happen to them.

I should should offer my praise in the spirit. I should reverance my Father in heaven. I should do it willing and not as a ritual. I should have genuine love for my Father in heaven as He has love for me. Most of all be obedient to His words of wisdom that is for my very soul.

The mindset of a Priest towards God is to serve Him. To delight in Him and to worship Him and do His will. It inspires me to be more Christ like because Christ was a true Priest of the Most High God. I look at myself and where I was in my life and I thank God for choosing me. I want to learn more and help others to come to the understanding of seeking God for themselves.

When I was a young adult I thought badly of myself because of the way I was living my life, but now I know what my worth is to Jesus Christ. My Lord died so that I would be free. I am worth every moment He spent on this earth all the way to His last breath on the cross until He asended to heaven. All the money in the world could cover with the Lord did for me. My true longterm investment is faith and love. God's word says to me that my faith in Him is the key to my existance on this earth and making it to heaven and that it is because of love, (His love for me) I have a chance to live forever.

They feel upset because the spotlight has been put on their actions or lifestyle. God has to judge us to find us worthy of spending eternity with Him in heaven. Nothing impure can live with Him. Please should know the whole truth of the Good News of Christ and the judgement to give them the chance to choose which is important life eternal with Christ or how they choose to live in this world. When the final judgement is left out it gives only half the truth of whats to come.

Holiness is living with a pure heart open to God's instructions and His will. I have a struggle with being truely holy. There are somethings I just will not do. I still find myself repenting for things. One of my biggest struggles is anger. In order to be obedient I must surrender my will to God. When I think that I have I really haven't.

I believe it is the fact that He is coming and that He expect use to be living a holy life. He expect to find us faithful. It should inspire hope because Jesus can't lie. We should have self controll and be sober because we want to be with Him when He returns. When a person don't expect for Christ to come that person becomes relaxed and feels that he or she can do what they want for a little while longer.

The basis is love. Pure love. The love that only Jesus can give us. No human can ever love us the way Jesus Christ does. This love is not emotional it is filling like food to the body. You don't hunger for it. You live it. It is always there. I don't have to question Jesus whether or not He loves me. I do have to ask humans. Because of the way they treat me. Genuine joy is when all hell has broken out in your life and you are in peace knowing that Jesus still loves you and He is there. Even when doubt rises up in your mind, you can still hear His voice saying to you. "I will never leave you or forsake you."

I can remember when I was sick and I didn't have any insurance and not much money. God allowed me to work for one week showing people around who had come from different parts of the world to study a new software that would be used by colleges all over the world. Each day the Lord would give me strength to go and do my job, but before that I had gone to the doctor's office several times. I had even talk to a nurse on the phone. I was like the woman with the issue of blood. I was bleeding for six months straight and I was very week, anyway, the nurse on the phone told me it wasn't anything that could be done for me. That was only because I didn't have insurance. Then she said something to me that through me for a loop. She said, "Good luck." I started crying. I went to the clinic a few days later and the doctor I useally saw was on vacation and I had to see the midwife. She even said she couldn't really help me, but she told me to drink plenty of water and eat all day. She said, "Just keep eating and drinking water to keep your strength up." She had this sad look in her eyes. I went home and I prayed to God for help. That is when I got the call to go do the job I mentioned earlier. I prayed for strength. I went through training and I had no money for lunch. When lunch time came they provided pizza and soda. When we got to the actual sight I was blown away. Remember I had no money and I didn't have many female products with me for my protection. My God is real. Let me tell you that the building I was assigned too the ladies bathroom was in full supply of what I needed and I did not have to pay for it. It was beautiful how the bathroom was decorated. I heard His voice in my spirit saying, "Do not take any home. There will be plenty for you tomorrow." After that I was assigned to the most wonderful people they were great to work with. Then it was time for lunch. All I can say is that when God says He will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, He was not playing. Satin wanted to kill me, but for that whole week I had the best of everything. All the food was fresh and the people told us to eat as much as we want. The salad tasted as though it was just picked from the garden and all the spring water and fresh juice I wanted. The last day of the job I had said to the Lord, "I am so full." Eventhough is was lunch I didn't have to eat much at home later. So that left enough food for my kids to enjoy each day I worked. Now to top this story off. I heard the Lord speak to me again. He told me to go back to the clinic and when I got there the doctor that was on vacatioin was there. She was shock to see me and asked me what did I need. I told her it was time. She scheduled surgery and I went in and that was the end of that. I just wanted to say that before the job came about I had repeated those words, "If I could just touch the hem of your garment I will be made whole." To God be the Glory! God has done so much in my life. His his delivered my husband from drugs. He has a stuggle but I see his faith in God grow stronger and stronger each day. When the Lord told me not to leave my husband because of his addiction. I felt the Lord Jesus telling me to trust Him. Jesus got the glory because He will do just what He says. I just sit a watch my husband in amazement. My husband looks great. He was going down swinging and the Lord raised him from the living dead. The enemy is still attacking him but I will forever believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "No weapon formed against my husband shall prosper." because God said it won't. In Jesus name! Amen!

Some people that call themselves Christians are not following Christ Jesus, and people who are seeking Christ or new to the faith, and also unbelievers, are watching them be disobedient to the Word of God. This put a bad light on the message that true followers of Christ are trying to teach those who seek the knowledge of the Word of God. When Jesus Christ forgives us of our sin as He did the woman who was accused of adultery, He tells us to, "Go and sin no more!" Who are we to think that we can have the joy of forgiveness and not obey the one who forgave us. He paid for our lives with His. Faith is not just words that comes from our mouths. It is also in our actions. How can we tell people we have the faith when people can see that our actions clearly tell a total different story.

I would describe this person as someone who has been fooled to think that this world holds the key to life for them eternal. I have gotten caught up in this world before until Jesus showed me a better way. I sometimes feel like I am on the outside of a window looking in. This has been going on since I was a child. Now I understand this world is truely not my home. I have a home in glory.
