Hello my sisters in the Lord!
I hope you're steadfastly pressing on in the faith! We can be encouraged by those gone before us like as recorded in Hebrews 11 of their faith and obedience. A lot of them went through some really hard things and still kept faithful to the Lord! It is inspiring for us today! They had to wait on the Lord and trust His promises even when they didn't see them for a long time.
I just saw this scripture and it is a good one to ponder and rejoice in how His grace is truly sufficient for us Gentiles. The glory be to God that He has extended this hope to us. Yes we were hopeless and lost without Christ but now in Christ we are made near by His blood. He is our peace. Let us abide in Him and His love.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Ephesians 3:1-12
And we indeed ought to listen to those who God has chosen and sent to us. We are so blessed to have so much truth poured out through Christ's apostles.
And in that we do have instructions for us as women too, from apostles Paul and Peter. So let's keep pressing on in those too and everything else! Let us hold fast to this truth and conform our lives to it as we keep walking by faith. Over time we do have our senses exercised to better discern good and evil. But we must keep disciplined otherwise we just lose that and become insensitive to things and then compromise which we do not want.
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:Ephesians 4:15
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.2 Peter 3:18
May we keep growing by feeding on His Word sisters! And indeed the experiences we go through over time also help!
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1 Peter 1:13-17
Be strong and of a good courage to keep standing for the Lord sisters! Love, mercy, and peace unto you in His name.
