I don't have a good answer for your question, but can talk generally about living as a Christian.
As Christians we aren't promised a problem-free life. The Bible says will actually be harder for us due to persecution, etc.
Some Christians assume Romans 8:28 means they deserve or are entitled to a privileged life. Some like Osteen preach this on TV which is a false teaching in my opinion. Some people are told if they're not living in sin they will get free goodies/rewards from God, like money, possessions, health, good relationships, etc. It's really a self centered immature and distorted perspective. God isn't a genie in a lamp here to serve us. If anything its the opposite- we exist at the pleasure of God and to serve Him.
Paul was shipwrecked, beaten, chased, in prison, you name it, but was one the most prominent Christian evangelists. He was persecuted and had a rough life, not a prosperity-gospel type life full of 'abundance' in this world. But Paul said he found the secret of contentment. Have you read that before? Here's a guy you would assume would be very depressed and discouraged, but he wasn't. He cracked the code. We don't need to fill ourselves with outside things to make us feel whole, but can be content as we are. God is the strength in our weakness and can make up the difference. So, in terms of managing frustration, maybe reading more about Paul may help: Philippians 4:10-13.
As far as relationships, some I know seemed to find partners when young like a God-arranged divine event. But others I know have been single their whole lives. Each pray and are serious about their walk with God.
God bless...
I am sure you will get different replies on this, my understanding is close to what is in your post. Soul and spirit are two different words but seem to think of being the same and are hard to separate in our mind. What happens to these when we die there are different understandings, does the soul sleep in the earth with the body, or is it immortal and go to two different places?
The word soul in Hebrew is nephesh meaning a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion. The Greek word psuche meaning the soul, life, self, a person's distinct identity.
The word spirit, the Bible writers used the Hebrew word ruach meaning breath, wind, spirit, or the Greek word pneuma also meaning wind, breath, spirit, when writing about the spirit.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The spirit goes back to God Ecclesiastes 12:7
The Holy Spirit seals us until when? Ephesians 4:30
We are buried mortal, dead, in corruption and we are raised immortal incorruptible 1 Corinthians 15:42-44
All consciousness ends when we die. Psalm 6:5 Job 14:12-14 Job 17:13-16 Psalm 89:48 Psalm 115:17 Ecclesiastes 9:5-10
We sleep in the dust until resurrection day, the day of redemption. 1 Corinthians 15:51 1 Thessalonians 4:14 1 Corinthians 15:52-54
God raised Jesus from the dead after three days and three nights, so, Romans 8:1 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Have not found any scripture that says we or our soul or spirit is immortal, may someone else provide it if it is in the bible.
God bless,

Romans 8:1-16, *
I am not sure what you are really asking here. Can you rephrase your question to us, please?
God Bless
1 Samuel 16:14, 1 Samuel 19:20,
There are more references. Here are some more study references. Hope this helps.
appears to be different in the manifestation unto many people at the same time with many events occurring.
Also people being able to transfer the HOLY Spirit to another seems to appear after CHRIST was resurrected from death & the grave. Acts 1, Acts 9:17,31, Acts 10:44, Acts 11:15,16, Acts 13:52, Acts 19:1-11,
Ephesians 5:9, Galatians 3:14, Romans 8:1,
Please read the WORD of GOD,
When we live in the flesh, i.e. leading lives that are habitually given over to sin, unconcerned about dealing with it by the power of the Holy Spirit, then we would be right in questioning the genuineness of our faith & love for God. But the battle is always on: the lusts of the flesh vs the desires to live to please God. When we're fully convinced that we'd rather live for God & not for sin & seeking the help & power of the Spirit, then His Power will be greater than our weakness. The fact that we do sin now, is simply because we enjoy the sin or want to pursue it. If we remain guarded, very rarely will sin overtake us suddenly, especially in the more overt sins that involve others. Even drunkenness, gluttony, gossip, lying, pride, etc. are all sins that we might want to do & hold dear to us & our make-up. But when we hate those sins, we will seek to take hold of the Spirit to combat them & more so, when we see the sin knocking at our door. The Spirit is there to empower us - to withstand the temptation to give in. We can also overcome that sin by pursuing another course, e.g. move away from that situation or person, replace the temptation with something good/wholesome, going straight into the Word & prayer. The Lord is always there - it's our choice to whom we appeal to: to fleshly desires or to the spirit ( Romans 6:16-23).
Hebrews 10:26. If you read the whole chapter, the sin being spoken of is about those from Judaism who want to appeal to the old sacrifices instead of Christ's Sacrifice (v29) - it doesn't work - that's sin.
EVERY 'True believer' who has obeyed God's Gospel Of GRACE Today, 'Has Received HIS ETERNAL Holy Spirit!' And, furthermore, ALL (whether faithful or UNfaithful) in "The Body Of CHRIST" Will Depart To Heaven, When This Age of GRACE ends!

Precious Terrt, will be praying for you And your family...
I've prayed for you, And hopefully someone can give you great spiritual guidance and comfort in addition to what I'm about to share.
There's scriptures comes to mind such as
Romans 8:28.
Philippians 4:6-7.
We never give up on he who never sleep nor slumber!
Continue in prayer. Listen to Paul here in
2 Corinthians 12:9.
Hopefully others can help.
May God bless you and your family.
John 17:1-26,
Romans 8:14,
1 John 1:1-2,
Hopefully that is helpful
Did Satan deceive Christ when he tempted Christ; NO, because he had spiritual KNOWLEDGE.
Eve was deceived because she had no spiritual KNOWLEDGE, if she would have had that KNOWLEDGE she would have been like Christ and would not have been deceived.
Romans 8:20 It's God's word that says, MAN WAS MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY ......
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceive, but the WOMAN being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding the WOMAN shall be saved in CHILDBEARING ...
Revelation 12:1 And I saw a great wonder in heaven, A WOMAN......
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child (the new man created IN CHRIST) cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
We are the WOMAN, whether we be male or female, and we are going to deliver a new creation in the likeness of Christ, the Father of that new creation.
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are CREATED, and thou RENEWEST the face of the earth.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW heaven and A NEW earth: for the first (old) were passed away ......
God Bless You.
Eve wasn't spiritually perfect.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly .....
Anyone made subject to vanity is not spiritually perfect, you and I were made subject to vanity, that's why we are deceived and sin.
That's why Eve sinned.
That's why God didn't put the blame on ADAM, he made Eve that way, subject to being deceived, we today are subject to being deceived, because we are born of woman. Christ, through his death and resurrection, provided a way to become spiritually perfect.
Genesis 5:2 MALE and FEMALE created he them, and bless them, and called THEIR NAME ADAM, the DAY THEY WERE CREATED.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in ADAM all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man ADAM was made a living soul; the last ADAM a quickening Spirit.
1 Timothy 1:14 And ADAM was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
May God Bless You.
But under the New Covenant, we read, "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." ( Romans 8:3,4). Would you agree that it's the "righteousness of God's Law" within us by His Spirit that now makes us acceptable to the Father? Though I might write to you as one of those "minister wolves", I do so, not to antagonize or condemn, but for consideration of the greater worth of the New Covenant in Christ's Blood over the Old Law that failed because of man's inability to keep it. Anyone who wants to observe the Law to the letter to please God, will always fail & Christ's shed Blood has no efficacy towards his quest. But if any realize that there can be no salvation (& pleasing God) by Law observance, will find the liberty in Christ & the power of His Spirit, to fully meet the righteous requirements of God's Law written in our hearts. If & when we fail (sin), we know that we can find forgiveness, unlike the Jew who was severely punished. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." ( Galatians 5:1).
Sorry I realize without follow-up, 1st response a little unclear & not finished. The "independant" 3rd party research done about Autism linked to vaccinations, found: the liquid metals within the vacs to inject, [liquid metals like mercury become fluid before 90 at 90 we can remove impurities/other ingredient out of the metal like in simple water bath] [the mercury would sink to the bottom & other ingredient would float] [that's why mercury & other metals have reproductive health warning, because of settling within lowest parts of human body, when abortion occurs, through skin etc.]
The increase of Autism, increased in States where Vaccination was 'requried' their scientific evidence found it effected "normal' children, beforehand then Autistic after vaccination because certain individuals were not able to absorb the metals.
Hopefully this is helpful.
I believe Romans 8:28, Luke 12:12,
I believe through the experiences I've been through, trained & learned it's for the good of THE BODY of CHRIST. Matthew 10:8,
Even with that said I am not an "Anti-vaxer" I believe we have the HOLY Spirit to guide us in all things. John 16:13, however we should all have the choice.
Just because something was helpful, beneficial in the past doesn't mean we should put faith or trust in it now or future. Psalms 118:8, PsalmS 40:40
The most recent vaccination actually has debate because of worse ingredients (graphite, which have high heat & electrical conductivity) & other very controversial 'evil' ingredients. Psalms 106:36-39
Proverbs 8:12
HE'S GOING TO WRITE HIS LAWS ON THEIR HEARTS.
Jeremiah 31:31. As it reads God is going to make a new covenant with the house of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:32 The Lord says this new covenant won't be like the old covenant that he gave their fathers, ( On Mount Sinai by Moses. )
Note: "A Mount that could not be touched"
Jeremiah 31:33-34. Tell us what the New covenant shall be. And how it will function!!
"I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
" Not on tables of Stone "
You see an example of this in
2 Corinthians 3:3.
This new covenant is NOT where they were bond to a law in which they could not keep because of the weakness of the flesh.
See Romans 8:3-4.
That Covenant and tabernacle was a shadow of the (TRUE) tabernacle.
( Hebrews 8:2. A minister of the sanctuary, and of the TRUE tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.)
See Hebrews 8:1-13.
See Hebrews 9:1-28.
See Hebrews 10:8-17.
THE ENERGY BEHIND THE DESIRE TO KEEPING THE LAW BEHIND THIS COVENANT WASN'T COMMANDMENT,
This covenant is set in motion and Moved by the Holyspirit. This is an inward action not an outward one.
This New Covenant is what the Old covenant/Law pointed to.
Note with both Covenants in view.
Galatians 4:23-28. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
God bless.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest EXPECTATION of CREATION (creation is everything and everyone) WAITETH for the MANIFESTATION of the SONS OF GOD.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was made SUBJECT to VANITY, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope,
Romans 8:21 For the creature itself ALSO shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
These verse say that when all the ELECT of God have been gathered; they, with Christ, will DELIVER creation into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
What do you believe is your purpose, in the kingdom of God here on earth, going to be.
Revelation 5:10 And hath made us unto OUR GOD kings and priest: and we shall reign (rule and govern) ON THE EARTH.
2 Corinthians 12:9 God's Power Of ALL-Sufficient GRACE in our weaknesses and infirmities:
"PEACE With God," and knowing what good "tribulation worketh in us" Romans 5:1-5
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18
The Spirit "helps our infirmities, And Prays For us" Romans 8:26
The Spirit "Intercedes For us, According To The Will Of God" Romans 8:27
God Makes "all things Work Together For Good," for HIS Own Romans 8:28
We are "Predestinated To Be Conformed To The Image Of God's SON" Romans 8:29
God Helps us "bear our testings" 1 Corinthians 10:13
We have The Wonderful "Comfort Of God!" 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a Far More Exceeding and Eternal Weight of Glory" 2 Corinthians 4:17
God will "change our vile body" to be "like HIS Glorious Body!" Philippians 3:21
Amen?
Conclusion:
"For our infirmities/sufferings"? Should we not "follow Paul our 'pattern'" 1 Ti 1:16?:
"And HE Said Unto me, My GRACE Is Sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that The Power of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for CHRIST's Sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Amen? And Amen.
Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

Interestingly, the first verse in Genesis 6 discusses an birth explosion: And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
The second verse then mentions the sons of God. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. This seems to support the idea that evil spirits took on natural attributes.
Just because they are called sons of God does not make them good. Jesus, Son of God was good. Satan, also a son of God, was evil.
A final note. The sons of God mentioned in the OT are different from the sons of God in the NT. In the NT, we are the sons and children of God. We, natural men, have received the Holy Ghost. Romans 9:14 - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Here, Paul is talking about us, as natural men. This notion is support later in Romans 8:16 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
If you're in USA the Declaration of Independence of The United States of America, The Constitution of The U.S. & every State Constitution including Hawaii, : We The People of the U.S. to be the governing authority. Please read each Preamble!. Furthermore it not only affirms We The People being the Governing authority but that we have a Duty to stand against tyranny & long chain of abuses. The free World depends on it, & for us being given the authority to lead.
The orgin of a'shot' is protecting our own lives. Matthew 16:25-27, Luke 9:23-26,
There are documents & whistle blowers exposing aborted child organs used & material that fights against the immune system of man, made by GOD ALMIGHTY in HIS image. Genesis 1:27,
Colossians 1:13-16 through the blood, (through the blood)
Psalms 106:36-39
A conditional covenant is an agreement between two or more parties that requires certain terms to be met. If the terms are met, there will be one kind of result (favorable). If the terms are not met, there will be a different result (unfavorable).
The case we have here is Abraham had no participation in the oath being made therefore he was not bound to an oath.
It was the Lord given the promise and it was "HE" who confirmed it with an oath.
Hebrews 6:13-14.
Hebrews 6:17.
It didn't take obedience of the Law to form the Covenant.
Galatians 3:17-18.
However I didn't Leave out obedience.
Here's why and how we obey.
AND OPERATION OF THE HOLYSPIRIT IN THE NEW COVENANT.
THE TRUE VINE!
John 151:17.
Ps. You are not expected to bare fruit until AFTER you are connected to the vine.
Notice verse 4.
John 15:4.
The branch cannot bear fruit of itself!!
Nor does it produce the fruit!!
Again. ( YOU CANNOT PRODUCE THE FRUIT ) YOU BEAR IT.!!
( 2 Corinthians 3:5. )
Hebrews 10:16
Romans 6:6
Romans 8:10-11.
God bless.
This is what is getting covered up by spritualizing certain text.
And How it relates to us.
Hebrews 6:13-19 (KJV) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Saying, SURELY BLESSING I WILL BLESS THEE, and MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY THEE.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the IMMUTABILITY of his counsel, CONFIRMED IT BY AN OATH:
That by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, BOTH SURE AND STEADFAST, AND WHICH ENTERED INTO THAT "WITHIN THE VEIL;"
Galatians 4:28. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Here's the covenant and Promise between God and Abraham.
TAKE NOTICE OF WHO IS THE LONE PARTICIPANT IN PERFORMING THE COVENANT.
Here's Isaac being Promised.
Genesis 15:4-5.
Abraham's participation.
Genesis 15:6.
Here's the covenant performed.
Genesis 15:8-11.
NOTICE WHAT GOD DOES TO ABRAHAM.
Genesis 15:12.
This covenant being instituted by God only suggests its faithfulness depended on Gods PROMISE NOT ABRAHAM'S FAITHFULNESS!!
Abraham faith was in God's PROMISE!!
That's Mercy, Grace, and Faith apart from works. And Eternal Security all in view here.
Galatians 4:28. !!
Galatians 3:8-9.
Galatians 3:13-15.
THE PROMISE OF A SAVIOR GIVEN BEFORE THE INSTITUTION OF THE MINISTRATION OF DEATH!!
Galatians 3:16-17.
2 Corinthians 3.

Hebrews 10:16.
Romans 6:6.
Romans 8:10-11.

This is what's being attacked by those crept in from unawares.
God bless.
"23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
ROMANS 8:1 [ THE GOOD NEWS]
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
When Paul arrived at Romans 8:1 he discovered victory in and through, Jesus; by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Happiness through reverence is wonderful.

Didn't read all comments, hopefully this is encouraging. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts & intellectual insight.
Luke 1:25, 1 Samuel 1:6, women have cruelly mocked other women many times over this issue & others.
Remember GOD justifies Romans 8:33, Psalms 22:24, be encouraged sis
Proverbs 16:9, Romans 5:1, James 2:22-25,
However the root argument sometimes stem from situational issues of choice which people may be referring to Genesis 38:6-10, then continued reading Tamar was considered "more righteous" Genesis 38:26, pursuing offspring of her dead husbands lineage, which was significant either in justification, reward or preplanned destiny. Matthew 1:3, Genesis 38:29, she is written in the documentation of Jesus lineage. Hebrews 11,
Additional scripture
Act 17:28-29, Malachi 2:15, Isaiah 65:21-24, on their perspective
I hope this was encouraging & helpful
Ecclesiastes 3:11 ...also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
They had to eat of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE (of good and evil). And God said, Behold, thy have become like one of us, they must have KNOWLEDGE (of good and evil) to be like God. God made sure they would eat of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE by making creation subject to vanity.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was MADE subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason (PURPOSE) of him who hath subjected the same in hope.
He was not pure:
Romans 8:20 For the creature was MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY...... not pure.
