Will I never cease?  I guess it will be in God's good timing but right now I cannot stand myself. And that's GOOD, I need to be chastied! I am disrespectful(what's new) Too much to do and I freak out and you better not be in my path when I do. I think I am like Peter and Paul, thank God I never had the oppotunity to be a teacher! Some prayers would be nice coming from all of you. Only I don't know what to pray for. Maybe that EVERYTHING comes from God. I know it intellectually but can't get it down into a part of me. Judy

Judy,

Oh Oh, That old man (woman) of sin trying for dominance again. The Scriptures teach us that we will always have that battle going on until That Day. This is the second time quoting these same Scriptures in this thread.

Here is exactly how that battle will end:

2Th 2: 3-12 (Weymouth NT)
3  Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,

4  and exalts himself above, every so-called 'god' or object of worship, and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he himself is God.

That is who causes us all kinds of trouble (our resistant beastly nature).

5  Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?

6  And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time.

When we really see our true nature, we will be figuratevly and sometimes literally floored.

7  For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,

8  and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.

9  The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels--for so Satan works--

10  and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

11  And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

12  in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.


This verse i think more clearly says what comes out of the midst of us, when the Restrainer is taken away.
2Th 2:7 (English Majority Text V)
7  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will continue until one comes out of the midst.
