In tandem with my earlier post I thought it would be good to consider what it means to walk in the Spirit. I am underscoring this message with what should be an obvious general attitude and spiritual mindset of loving and obeying the Lord; having personal time with the Lord; having a forgiving and open heart; and service whenever able to help to be a support in the Christian community.
I feel unqualified based on my own history to comment on this subject based on personal experience; but I will say that a godly husband and wife can do much with maintaining a testimony in their personal conduct as well as whenever possible opening up their home for prayer meetings; or Bible study. Interaction among families is stronger depending on the demographics of a fellowship and maturity of one's walk in the Lord.
We are ever mindful of Revelation 3:11 and I thought I should also quote the previous verse:
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
I will say once again as I have before that may His work be done; let someone else take my reward for the sake of reaching lost souls; for His purposes to be accomplished and so that I can join in acclamation of their reward justly deserved. I'll deal with my own loss privately there is no reason in heaven; of course for unwarranted jealousy.
The Spirit works in a believer; and no doubt is involved as the restrainer ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3). God will use a donkey if necessary; and also in the end of the Tribulation will use mighty angels for a final warning for those living under the Antichrist's rule to worship God and not take the mark.
I'll have to continue these thoughts in the next post.
