1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
Praise the Lord!

I want to share the devotional I had today with Dr. Charles regarding the spiritual warfare we are all in. If we are not aware of it or do not want to accept that the reality is there is demonic forces all around us, then we are deceived and we are falling in the hands of the evil one. If we do not believe in Jesus Christ, being the only way to our Father in Heaven, for He said- "He is the way, the truth and the life" and we don't want to embrace such truth, then we are part of the fallen world, but if we have embraced Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Redeemer, if we have fully surrendered ourselves to Him, and if we have turned away from all sins, then we can truly claim, we are in the beautiful hands of our Father in Heaven, and we are now written in the Book of Life, we have been adopted as God's children, and surely, in His beautiful time, we will be experiencing the most immeasurable, wonderful, amazing life of heaven-- no one have ever conceived but we claim with hopeful expectation.
Open you Bibles and reflect on His words;
He will reveal the truth to you :)

"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Dr. Charles Stanley, InTouch Ministry)
Why am I doing this? "Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Dr. Charles Stanley, InTouch Ministry)
Simple...."I am driven by the eternal destiny of others."
