God gave us a way out

We will confirm this word with scripture

 

Is this what you are running after: Stop!!! read this

2Tim:20-22

²⁰ But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
²¹ If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
²² Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

We must do what Jesus did when Satan attacked him after doing a forty day fast, Jesus said to Satan, It Is Written: beat him down with the word until he left, that is the example we are to follow. The Devil is going to bring temptation, confusion, deceit, and much more but the scripture say’s: fight the good fight of faith Why? {1Tim:6-12} because we win. For greater is he that is in me: {1Jn:4-4}.

Following after the lust of the flesh is what has kept man continually separated from God unto this day.

1Cor:6-9
 ⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

 Rom:8,6-8 
 ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
⁸ So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

The Lord want us to set our house in order so we can live and not die. let us rise up to the occasion and declare the word of God and let it work for us.

2Cor:10,3-6

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
⁶ And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

A little something to chew on:

There are those who believe this text is making a blanket statement about the role of women in the church. There are other passages that seem to say this same thing, where women are to remain silent, or that they are the glory of man, they are to submit, they can’t lead. When you look at all of the passages that talk about women in the church, it is clear that according to Scripture they can’t lead or teach.

Others point out that for every place that Paul seems to prohibit women from leading in the church, there is another place where he seems to affirm it. At the end of Romans he commends Phoebe, a deaconess. In that same text he affirms Priscilla and her husband Aquila for their leadership. He calls Junia an apostle. In Galatians 3:28, he says, “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” People on this end of the spectrum conclude that any prohibitions are specific to a time and place and circumstance.

It’s probably pretty obvious how I land on the issue, but I want to explain why. And I want to teach what I think Paul is doing in this passage, and why I don’t think gender is what determines how someone is gifted. It’s the Holy Spirit that gifts. To do that, I want to start by engaging with the more traditional or conservative approach.

Galatians 3:28 “There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no free nor slave, there is no male no female, for we are all one in Christ.”

Moreover, Deborah wasn’t just a judge–having administrative and judiciary authority over Israel– but she was also a Prophetess–making her the representative and mouth piece of God to Israel; thus having a spiritual authority over men in Israel.
If that practice changed in the new testament, like you mentioned correctly, it shows a change in cultural practices and not in the nature of God because He changes not (Mal 3:6). It therefore becomes clear that Paul prohibiting women from teaching and having authority over men is a cultural law that is likely to change according to societies. Otherwise, Galatians 3:28 would contradict Paul himself.

Meanwhile Galatians 3:28 is a spiritual reality of how we are seen and how we function in the Spirit. It corroborates with Acts 10:34 that says God makes not difference of persons. Since the gospel, the kingdom of God, the church are not cultural entities but spiritual entities, Galatians 3:28 would be a superior “law” to 1 Tim 2:11-12.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With Temptation:There is always a way out

You can overcome temptation

With Every Temptation: There is always a Choice

Ja:1,13-15

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Eve was enticed by satan when she received the fruit of his lies even tho she was aware of what God said to Adam. Gen:2,16-17.

Job :2-10 Job tempted by his wife to do evil.

2Kings:5, 10,14,19-26 Elishah servant Gehazi tempted by greed.

Lk:15,11-32 The prodigal son, tempted by the world

When Jesus had completed fasting forty days and forty nights, he was, hungry and physically weakened, left to be tempted of the devil with evil, wickedness and concupiscence, strong sexual desires. All this is part of his development and training for ministry.

These are times Satan will show up to seize the moment—when we are emotionally or physically spent, weary, vulnerable, and so he think, least prepared to resist him.

The scripture says submit yourself unto God resist the devil and he will flee from you. {Ja:4-7} Many men and women have been in this place and have fallen to the subtlety and alluring of the devil. 

It didn't have to end that way to those that fell or to anyone being tempted. If you find yourself in a place and it seems there is no way out remember, our God is a very present help in time of trouble. {Ps:46-1} With every temptation God gives us a way of escape

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

{1Cor:10-13}, these temptations are common, there are many going through the same as you now and there will be many after you experiencing the same old temptation.

We should remember, Jesus was capable of sinning, he was in a flesh body (Heb:10-5) as the son of man and there had to be real temptations and possibilities of his yielding to the enticement of Satan.

If there were no true testings or genuine attempts from Satan to lure Jesus into sin, we would not know how to get the victory over Satan when he approach us. Jesus was our example to copy,

He showed us what to do and how to do it. He spoke the word to the devil every time he came and the devil had to flee. Lk:4,1-14

Paul wrote, “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered” (Heb. 5:8); and he “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin”

(Heb. 4:15). He was perfect and sinless, “He suffered temptations but didn't give in to them.” For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

• Look at the example in {Lk:4,1-13} And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
• ² Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
• ³ And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
• ⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
• ⁵ And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
• ⁶ And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
• ⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
• ⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
• ⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
• ¹⁰ For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
• ¹¹ And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
• ¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
• ¹³ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

In this example we see how Jesus took authority over the devil by speaking the word and drove him away. Notice, Satan didn't leave the first time Jesus spoke to him, he continued to attack the mind of the Lord as he will do to us, and this is where some of the saints have a problem, no patience.

We must do what Jesus did keep speaking the word until he flee. Satan is going to put up a fight but the scripture say's fight the good fight of faith {1Tim:6-12} because we win. For greater is he that is in me: {1Jn:4-4}.

Remember Joseph the son of Jacob sold by Arabs to Potiphar Pharaoh captain of the guard. The Lord was with Joseph and prospered him in his masters house Pharaoh an Egyptian. Joseph found favor with his master and he put all he had into his hand to rule his house.

Soon after, his Masters wife was hot for Joseph and ask him to lie with her, but Joseph being a man of integrity would not yield, and fled. You can read the whole story in Gen:39,1-23. God will give you a way out if you believe.
 

During the tribulation there will be much temptation by Satan as he allure many to worship the beast by making the first day of the week, Sunday, their main day of worship. Emperor Constantine, used by the devil changed the seventh day sabbath to the first day.

The Catholic Church has declared Sunday the first day of the week to be their Mark OF Ecclesiastical Authority. For those of you waiting for the mark of the Beast to appear, this mark has been around for centuries, taking advantage of people who would rather believe a lie and be Damned (Is:30-10), than believe the truth and be saved, having made Sunday your sabbath or main day of worship, you are already marked.

1Tim:6,10-11 

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

The Devil is going to bring temptation, confusion, deceit, and much more but the scripture say’s: Ephe:6,-11, put on the whole armor of God that...

Following after the lust of the flesh is what has kept man continually separated from God unto this day.

Epe:1-3

God has given us all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus; >>> we have to call for them just as God did in the beginning. (Rom:4-17) he calleth those things that be not as tho they were and they became because they are, where, in the spirit. Gal:2-20 Jn:14-10, the Father in me he doeth the work, Phil:2-13 God in me both to will and do his good pleasure.

2Corth:9-8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Be Blessed
