I am sorry that this is happening and will pray for you. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:46:35 GMT http://www.mybiblescripture.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=716.html#716 I need prayers to help to heal my marraige of 30 years. My husband has had an emotional affair and feels he cannot get the other woman out of his head. This is causing him to feel as though he wants to leave our marraige. He says he still loves me and wants to be with me, but can't get past this emotional hold that this woman has on his mind. I love my husband and I will forgive. I need him back, body, mind and soul. Please help.

Paul also write about keeping away from people who have bad doctrine in 1 Corinthians 15. These people were saying that Jesus was not resurrected, and Paul writes on the reasoning of this doctrine and warns us in v. 33, "Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits."

Just checking to make sure the "order" is correct, being born of the Spirit makes us new creatures in Christ, not first reading the word. We must first believe in our heart that He is raised from the dead and confess with our mouth Him as Savior. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Do you see this order, belief, confession, hearing, faith? Those who have not confessed Jesus Christ will never understand scripture even if they read it all day and night. Is this what you are saying? Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:13:22 GMT http://www.mybiblescripture.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=705.html#705 Christ had bidden the first disciples love one another as He had loved them. Thus they were to bear testimony to the world that Christ was formed within, the hope of glory. "A new commandment I give unto you," He had said, "That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." John 13:34. At the time when these words were spoken, the disciples could not understand them; but after they had witnessed the sufferings of Christ, after His crucifixion and resurrection, and ascension to heaven, and after the Holy Spirit had rested on them at Pentecost, they had a clearer conception of the love of God and of the nature of that love which they must have for one another. Then John could say to his fellow disciples: "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

These things we are putting off are listed in sequence of severity, meaning that one leads to the next. First we are angry, then we attain a level of wrath, which is violent anger or anger turned into action, and then we reach malice. Malice is the deliberate planning to harm another. We have gotten so angry we think of ways to retaliate against someone for perceived wrongs. Blasphemy is a direct and profane mocking of God and usually includes filthy language. Screaming and cursing at God or Christ with great contempt. The reason Paul points these out is so we can put them off. How do we do that? II Cor. 10:5 reads, "-bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ." Anger starts in our mind. We think of something that makes us angry and we begin to develop imaginary scenarios of payback. The anger builds and will consume us to wrath if we let it. Here is your action part. When you see that anger building in your mind, take it into captivity through the power of Christ. Cast it out of your mind. Think of something else. This will be hard at first. Angry thoughts will immediately come back. Keep casting them out. Here are two other things to watch for; idleness and submission. If you have too much free time you will daydream and if you can't submit yourself to leaders, even if they are inept, you will find anger harder to control. We will pray for you and your family to be together as God has ordained.

Regardless of political affiliation, the people of America value every servicemen's and women's sacrifice for this country. I can't emphasize this too strongly that our mere words to each other will never solve your problem. It is only by our prayer and submission to God's will that we can hope to achieve peace in Christ. And we must be willing and desiring souls to His will, and not our own will. As military soldiers, we are taught to never surrender; to keep fighting with all our strength. As servants of Christ, it is entirely opposite; we are to lay down our weapons at His feet and let Him do the fighting for us. Those weapons are our will, what we want, what we speak and how we act. If you desire to see His will done, lay down your weapons at His feet, bow your knee to His will and let Him be your Commander-In-Chief. There are too many Christians who think that we have some mighty power to do things if we simply pray for them and too few who willing to surrender to each other. praying for you in Christ's name, Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:32:48 GMT http://www.mybiblescripture.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=700.html#700 drsteph, Sorry, I've been out of town a week. The area we all probably get carried away in is our pride. It causes us to reach for things that go beyond what we can afford so we can keep up with the neighbors. We look good to others but inside we struggle with paying for all we have. If all you earn goes to the mortgage, you won't have any to tithe or to pay for food, utilities, etc., and the occasional night out. The money woes will carry over into fighting over who is overspending, the husband or wife. While the Bible doesn't give direct advice on buying a house, Proverbs does speak about having wisdom, and taking counsel. The problem develops when we don't like the advice or don't want to take it and we go seek advice more to our liking. Setting up and maintaining a budget, while exceedingly boring, will help you in the long run. My wife is a financial manager and she has shown me through the years how not to be so impulsive in spending as this wrecks a budget, how to set money aside for unexpected items, how to save, etc. I've gone on spending freezes, spending nothing for a month to regain my financial footing and spending less than what is in my account. We look to Christ to help is in our weaknesses, dying to what self wants and to be led by Him and yoked with our husbands and wives in common goals. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:44:56 GMT
