Ministering
Blue v1 Ch14 1 Kgsv1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, and Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam."
Interestingly enough, sometimes when you fight with your spouse there are times you want to ask them, "Who are you?" Because the way they are acting you just don't recognize them...Was out ministering and didn't get home until now. I can think of 4, even 5 marriages right off the bat that have non-typical problems and all have this in common; Anger to where the man thinks he is better because he makes more money so either fails to see his wife as an equal or needs to believe a lie because of the lack of the revelation of the love of God so doesn't know yet who he is in Christ so doesn't know how to cherish his wife or see her as a friend that is really trying to help him and her lack of joy makes him feel like a failure, unable to make his wife happy, only magnifying the problem.
Patience counters control problems~
Patience diverts anger~
Fear of facing yourself and being exposed means it's time to walk through the death process and face what you fear losing, then resurrection will come and what you thought you lost will have transmogrified from covered living to real living, removing the self-centeredness and immaturity that had suffocated intimacy and the quality of life you tried so hard to preserve but never really obtained and that's why you were always chasing it but never getting anywhere. When fear threatens to take something away, face that threat and die to it, let it go because it has no power over you once you are no longer afraid of losing it~ Your reputation.
~Life is found in yielding more so than in controlling something.
Be it Salvation, Spiritual Growth, or Supernatural visits by the Holy Ghost, all is obtained through simply yielding because we cannot add or take away from God, only yield to Him~
When we make the Holy Spirit the object or target of our love and work it from the inside out then we can stop expecting it from the outside in and the person that was unable to supply our need will be able to receive the shaping and forming from the Holy Spirit now coming fresh out from us, which will make it easier to tolerate the painful interactions while all the changes are taking place. For truly, there's no such thing as a one-sided war.
