Something you will never believe, is the definition of a
gentleman. It does not resound with societies' notion of the term, but here goes
Wiki
The term gentleman (from Latin gentilis,
belonging to a race or gens , and man, the Italian
gentil uomo or gentiluomo and the Protuguese gentil-homem), in its
original and strict signification, denoted a man of the lowest rank of
the English gentry,
standing below an esquire and above a yeoman .
While you ponder on that let me hit you with this-
He will never force anything (ever) down your throat, let’s go
back, way back, back to the beginning of Adam
and Eve.
He had created them from dust: so He could have set a chip trying
to say program in their heads to comply with everything He had instructed (He could have),
yes He could. But He did not. He said
which tree not to eat from and gave them the results of what would happen-“you
will die” . He then left the decision up
to them.......
1. not to eat =alive
2. eat =death
The rest we all know; the snake, the lies, whatever. You can
read Genesis and it will give the whole story.
To my point ; He gave them a choice , He could have, might as
well plucked up the tree and planted it in another planet or garden, no not our
God He allows you to make the decision and allows you to suffer the
consequences.
I will jump a little further ahead to the time of Job. I am
talking to those who know who this guy was, if you don’t know you need to go
back to Pre School because I have no time to get you up to speed. But as the
story goes the devil as the other angels were presenting themselves before God
so did him(devil) do. He (the devil) was going on and on that Job was only
faithful to God because God had blessed him with a lot of money and wealth and
good health, and that was the only reason he (Job) adored Him (God) and that
God should release His hand over Job and let him lose all his wealth and see if
Job would not Curse God. God was all like is that right? , ok if you think that
is the case then go and do your worst but don’t touch his health ………… those who
don’t know the story from here sorry, that is not in my prescription to
narrate.
Can we focus here, what do we learn from the story of Job? –The
devil had to go to God and ask that he be allowed to go and tempt Job.
Billy Graham's daughter was
interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her: “How could God let
something like this happen?” (regarding Hurricane Katrina).
Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said: “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.
How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?” -direct q

In Revelations 3:20 He says I am at the door and I knock
whoever hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and will stay there
with Him. Our great and most powerful God in all His glory must ask before He
can be a part of you- meaning that the decision for Him to be in your life lies
squarely with you, He does not force Himself into your life like some demon
possession or other stories and examples we hear.
Was watching a Taylor Perry show where it was all about
family and church and drama didn’t have anything else to watch but I got
something from in between the drooling and sleeping. In a home if the family if
full of prayer and exaltation to the most high i.e let in the master of
light in the master of darkness has no room or power within that house hold . The reverse is also true. .If
the home has no time for prayer for coming together all in His name then The
prince of darkness has full dominion over that house hold and no matter how
powerful our heavenly master is He will not reign there and His angels can
only look from the fence.
Just think about it we call Him a gentle man because yes He
possesses all the power for pits sakes He created the Devil but this tag
of being a gentleman is that YOU will always have the choice .If you let Him in
He will burst in guns blazing incinerating all the demons and evil dominion
over you and the barbed wire they came with, but if you wish not to invite Him,
he can only stand and watch hence a *GENTLEMAN*
