YOU AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU
Such qualities as these have unnatural power to seduce you, even overwhelm you. It is not charisma but seduction, and it creates bondage. You may have a friend whom you at times have a great desire to be free of, and the next moment feel guilt or condemnation for desiring your freedom. Consider why you are attracted to your friend.
Look out for mothers/dads who try to dominate married children's lives, and men/women who cannot delegate authority but try to mind every detail.
Women/men shouldn't try to force mate into a religious experience but win him/her by quiet and joyful submission to the Christian life fulfilling your role as God established it.
SUMMARY
A study of the Bible shows clearly that God hates rebellion and that He will punish the people for their sins.
The people are blessed when they obey the Bible and they are cursed when they disobey the Bible commandments. There is a curse for every violation of Bible!
All rebellion is against God. For example, when a wife rebels against her husband, she is not just rebelling against him but against God who put the husband in authority over the wife. Finally, rebellion can be very costly while obedience can be very rewarding. The Bible applies equally to an individual, family, church, community, nation, etc.
PRAYER - Father, in the name of Jesus, I repent of and renounce selfishness, and take responsibility in my generations for the sin of rebellion. I ask for forgiveness and break the curse of stubbornness. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. I desire to follow the Lord my God with my whole heart. In the name of Jesus, I decree that I have an excellent spirit, which enables me to do courageous feats in God’s Kingdom according to the grace you have given to me. Amen ~Prayers That Avail Much
