Satan's Ways are Opposite of God's Ways
Good day to my born again, obedient sister saints
who follow after the Lord in ALL truth!
Brother Jim did a post about how satan's ways are opposite of God's ways and then gave many examples. You can read that HERE. I thought I would add some specifically for women.
* You shouldn't have to be barefoot and pregnant. To the world staying home and raising children is a bad thing and a mockery of what should be.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.(1 Timothy 2:14-15)
* You should go church even if your husband disagrees with it. Denominational religion was created by satan, not God. Quite often we see the husbands leave from those places and want their wives to come with them, out from it, but they women stay.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you (2 Corinthians 6:17)
* Give away your money to the beggars, who cares if they waste it. The resources we have are of the Lord and we have to use what we have with wisdom. Knowing that many beggars are either scamming or using it for drugs, you can still offer help but with food instead of money. If you are married, you need to comply with what your husband feels about dealing with them also. Helping the poor is a good thing but you must use wisdom.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)
* Who says women can't be pastors? That's a lie from satan and scriptures are clear that men are the spiritual leaders not women.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (1 Timothy 2:11-12)
* You got it flaunt it. God shed blood to cover our sin and nakedness yet satan is undressing mankind and it's getting wickedly lascivious in these last days. Women are to dress in neat and orderly long robes and dresses.
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array (1 Timothy 2:9)
* Your hair is your glory so show it off! God's word says that a man's glory (woman) must be covered and therefore a woman's glory (hair) must be covered.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. (1 Corinthians 11:6-7)
* He can do half the housework. God has assigned the management of the household duties to the woman. A husband can certainly help a woman but it should not be the norm and she should be the main one who takes care of it. (Of course there are situations that call for more help.)
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)
* Chase your career. Although a career is not sinful as a single woman has to work and support herself, a married woman needs to keep her priorities straight with her husband and home.
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, [5] To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:4-5)
* Children need to socialize you can't keep them home. Unless you have truly godly people in your life, you need to protect your children from the worldly influence of others.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. (1 Corinthians 15:33)
* You can't teach your children, send them to school. God's Word teaches that the parents are the ones responsible for teaching children.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
* Just eat out, it's too much bother to cook. In this 'convenient' world, it can be easy to get swept away with fast food and convenience foods instead of cooking, which is most often the more frugal and healthy way to go. We are to use our resources with wisdom and we are not to be lazy.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. (Proverbs 31:13-18)
* He can't tell you what to do. God's word commands women to obey and submit to their husbands.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (Ephesians 5:2)
* You look ugly without make up. Only prostitutes and pagans wore makeup, not God's holy set apart people. A godly woman's beauty comes from within by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: (1 Peter 3:1-)
* Blood is thicker than water. Satan would have you believe that blood family is more important than the family of Christ but that's not true.
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew 12:48-50)
* This music makes me feel good. God's Word teaches that our 'music' should come from within with our hearts as the instrument.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (Ephesians 5:19-20)
* It's just a novel. Secular fiction books (action, romance, mystery) and magazines have no place in a godly woman's life. Neither do professed devotionals or books that are not in full truth.
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16)
* Let your girlfriends know your husband's just as bad as theirs. Godly women lift up their husbands, not cut them down.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. [12] She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. (Proverbs 31:11-1)
* You're house is too small. We are to be content with a simple life, being thankful for all things.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. (1 Timothy 6:7-9)
* I love your selfie profile. Pride is sin and we should be about the Lord, not how good we look today.
He must increase, but I must decrease. (John 3:30)
Let us godly women strive to become mature and shine the truth of Christ to those who are coming up behind us.
Love to you all,
Sister Deb
