SDG 157 Marching Order for Wives From God

1 Peter 3:1-7 and 1 Peter 2:11-13
 

In our focus scripture, Peter spends six verses giving wives their marching orders from God.

Now remember in SDG 155 Husbands got theirs.  Then in SDG 156 we looked at how to pray like Elijah, fervently and effectively.

So you may be wondering why these three messages are grouped together; well Peter tells us why in verse 7!

… that your prayers be not hindered.

Now I’ve seen more ineffectual prayers in the lives of true believers including my own prayers.

And when I asked the LORD why He told me husbands and wives got to “Get Right with one another, then and only then will their prayers not be hindered!”

So if you want to pray like Elijah, stay tuned!

Now Peter's talking to women on how to behave in tough times and these women were having hard times with tough unbelieving husbands! And wives here’s what Peter says: Don’t leave them, don’t lecture them, don’t lord over them but rather love them!

So how are you to do that?  Well Peters tells you.   He says: with an adornment of serenity, acts of service and with… the RIGHT attitude of Godly submission; now the word submission is not very popular in our culture today.

So we’ll conclude with a look at what the Bible has to say about the principle, place, problem and price of Godly submission.

Now wives AND husbands PAY ATTENTION because when you BOTH get the right attitude towards Godly submission look out; after God sees that your hearts are right about being under authority, then and only then He will grant you His Kingdom Authority.

And once you have His Kingdom authority operating in your livesthen you’ll be able to pray fervently and effectively and that’s when miracles start happening!!!
