#Abuse,#Marriage,#Respect,#Love,#Family

When I read about or hear about a woman being abused by a man it disturbs my spirit.  What is even more disturbing is when it done by a man that says he is saved, loves Jesus or one that professes to be an Evangelist, Pastor, Prophet, Teacher or Apostle.

I have talked with women that have said and showed signs that their saved husband abused them.  In public, he is the perfect brother.  But at home, he is not.

This should not be.

Abuse can be physical or emotional.  A lot of the abuse in by those that profess Christ is emotional.  Yelling, down grading, jealously are all emotional abuse tactics.   Making false accusations, making degrading comments are all emotional abuse tactics.

This should not be.

How can you speak and be kind to others, but talk in a degrading way to your spouse?  How can you help others and then your wife is left to live like she is a single woman.  If she speaks to another male, false accusations are made against her.

This should not be.

The Bible says, "Like wise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.:  I Peter 3:7

The male can not expect the wife to be in subjection and obey his every command if he is not treating her the way the Bible says to treat her.  The woman being the weaker vessel does not mean she ignorant.  It means she is to be treated like something that is precious.

I Peter 3:1 is used all the time to support the man being over the wife and able to tell what to do and she has to obey.  But when you read all of scripture as relates to marriage, the Bible does not teach this.

Yes, there are women that conduct themselves out of order and do things that cause harm to the male.  It seems that the physical and emotional scars are the most visible in women.

Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled;but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.  Hebrews 13:4.

It is not matter of finger pointing either.  It is a matter of obeying the Gospel of Jesus Christ and living a holy life.  Confess sin and repent of it.  This makes way for the Lord to deliver and save.

I John 2:1, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.  And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world".

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
