Scriptures: Ephesians 3:16, Jeremiah 29:11

  Sin makes people weak. Coming to God, repenting, being fill with God's power is the Glory of every person. Through God's strength we are able to do the right thing all the time. Right according to God. ie Gold and silver are the right currency to use to be a law abiding citizen. God strengthens us to turn from dollar bills to Gold and Silver. Why? Dollars weaken a person internally, we sin. Gold and Silver strengthens us we do not sin. Dollar bills are a sin of evil men, fraudulent. Gold and Silver were made by God and people who obey God use Gold and Silver according to the laws of the founding Fathers.
 

Teachers are the snake.

  I have heard it said that men are still in 8th grade when it comes to maturity. They are still boys their toys are just bigger.  Is that a part of God's plan?  No.  That is what the American educational system does to boys raised by "Eve".  The woman who eats forbidden fruit, sin and teaches young men to do has she does. Sin retards growth, weakens the mind, spirit and body.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


 
 We need God's strength through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to stand strong against sin.  If God isn't with a person they will not reach their full potential. You stop growing at the place of sin and start to go backwards. You may grow a lot in "worldly knowledge" but that is going backwards, B.C. before Christ.

We are suppose to come out of the world, not die and leave the world but not emulate or practice what the world does.  God the Father is now our teacher. (Ephesians 3:16)

 
 What is God's plan.  From the time we are born God has a perfect plan for each human being. As you grow up you are to take on more and more responsibilities for yourself.

      First you learn to walk for yourself, then talk for yourself, dress yourself, clean you own room, make your own bed, wash your body and hair, do you nails, self-grooming, wash your own clothes, get your own food, make your own dinner. Each person should have a hand in this from the time they are born being encourage some day they will do it all by themselves without a Mother or Fathers help.

 

This should not be thrust upon a child all of a sudden. In school you did math every year, each year increasing the difficulty. A child is born curious and wanting to learn everything. Children  love to learn and a parent should love to teach, A little at a time. Inch by inch is a cinch! Being taught you might not  get it right at first but each time you do something you get better at it. 
Practice makes perfect.


Parents must use the Holy Spirit and the Bible to raise their children. Teach children the way God teaches you. Correct children the way God corrects you.

P.S. Never strike a child.  Children do not need spankings. God does not spank us, he guides in  and with the light and power of the Holy Spirit. Discipline can only be done by God in his power. Parents must be very close to God to "loose" their children from sin's power or convict their children of sin according to the Bible in the grace and love of the Holy Spirit. Correct a child the way God corrects you. Parents must always guide their children to love and serve God by being lead by his Spirit.
