Pastor John,
I have a question that I was left with from the meeting last night. How is the order of a household go if the head of the household does not have The Holy Spirit? Does it change anything?
Thanking you in advance for your time.

Hi Letitia.
Good to hear from you again! Your question is asked by many, and the general answer is given by Peter:
1 Peter 3:1-6 KJV
[1] Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conduct of the wives; [2] While they behold your chaste conduct coupled with fear. [3] Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; [4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. [5] For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: [6] Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
There are times when sinner husbands grow so evil that this general rule of quiet submission will not apply and the godly wife has to make some difficult decisions. In such cases, the Spirit will be there to guide the wife as to what course to take.
