Have You Submitted?

[Kingdom Authority Int.Ministries]

Have you submitted? I don't know why we have such a hard time with this. If we are submitted to God who is over man, why then wouldn't we submit to our husband? Are we choosing to be loyal and faithful to the one who created us, but not to the one chosen for us? When you choose to do one and not the other, you then have not actually submitted to God because each of us are a part of Him, so therefor the way you treat your husband, you are doing this also unto God.

Why do we insist on doing just the opposite of what God has asked of us? SELF Each and every time I bring forth a Word, SELF will be the center point. Let it be known you can not accomplish anything in God as long as you remain in SELF. Meditate on that thought. Get it deep within your spirit man, and make the choice to simply lose it. Lose SELF.

I speak from experience of not submitting to my husband. Yes, I wanted to run him and not listen, do what I wanted to do without any regard to what he had to say. God has shown me years later, that I was wrong and now He instructs and directs me, clearly showing me in His Word that He has commanded me to submit to my husband. This is now my desire.

As women, we tend to believe that submitting makes us weak, that we lose a part of ourselves if we do submit. Hmmm does that sound like something the God we serve would have in store for us? Oh, no!! Never. Where do you think those ideas come from? Satan of course. He wants you to have division in the home, division with your husband so it will eventually fall and collapse. Well, its a new day and today we decide to get right with God on this. Satan you lose. AGAIN!!!

As women we have been systematically sabotaging Gods plans for our husbands because we have not been willing to believe and entrust God to His wisdom. We simply will not trust God to work through our husbands to accomplish what is best. We feel we must help God along the way by dominating our husbands. Sounds like the jezebel spirit to me. What do you think?

In 1 Peter 3:6, we are reminded that Sarah called Abraham, her husband, Lord: Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord: Whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Most of us would never dream of calling our husbands Lord.

Sarah established it to be her mission in life the task of helping her husband, Abraham, fulfill Gods purposes for Him. This again is not weakness. It is Gods will for our life: True biblical submission. Shall we take on the task as Sarah did? Or will we choose to continue to be in bondage? Allowing satan to control yet still.

Time to lose that neck shakin, hip holdin attitude.Time to lose the attitude. You're not by any means winning the battle, or the war. You're losing miserably. The bible scriptures below will clearly show you what the bible has to say.

Genesis 2:20-25

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field:but Adam there was not formed an help meet for him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead therof;
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, this now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called, "Woman", because she was taken out of man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:16

God said to Eve, Yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Colossians 3:18

Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Colossians 3:23-24

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto man, Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance for ye serve the Lord Christ.

These are now scriptures that you can really think about and apply to your life. Really let these soak in.

Psalm 147:1

Praise ye the Lord:for it is good to sing praises unto our God:for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. Praise your husband with much love, appreciation and thanksgiving.

Who do you trust?
Psalm 118:8

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. How many times have we listened to the counsel of others much to our shame and destruction against the will of our husbands?

A deceitful woman.
Psalm 78:36-37

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. How many of us have acted like we loved our husbands but truly, when his back was turned, we ridiculed and belittled him and went our own way?

Are you discontent?
Isaiah 57:21

There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

What home is happy when the wife is doing her own thing, and not obeying the law of God? She has no peace in her heart, no contentment.

A Filthy woman.
Zephaniah 3:1-2

Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.

I pray we don't desire to be like this woman.She went away from God and her husband and did not trust.

Why no blessings?
Jeremiah 5:25

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

Iniquities: Grossly immorality, or injustice, wickedness.
A grossly immoral act, a sin.

Because of our iniquities and our sins, blessings do not come to our households.

Desires Granted
Psalm 37:4

Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of the heart.

Do we delight ourselves in pleasing our husbands? I know when I was married, I didn't to the full extent. I should have. Now it is truly my hearts desire.

Does your situation seem hopeless?
Matthew 8:20

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests: but the Son of man, hath not where to lay His head.

How this hurt my heart to know that the Saviour I love did not have a place to stay. Can you picture that? How does that make you feel? I know the feeling oh so well. Circumstances in our life come to test our faith and make us stronger. Don't point the finger, make accusations of who's to blame. God does everything for a reason. We are purposed to do His will. So in times when lifes comforts seem non-existent, don't let that keep you from doing what God has told you to do with the heart of a joyful servant. The Lord has promised to take care of you. Do you believe Him?

You are nothing without Him.
John 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.

The Word of God is our lifes source. To have a happy home, happy marriage, The Word has to be the foundation.

It takes simple faith.
Luke 8:48

And He said unto her daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace. How sweet to hear our Lord say...go in peace!

Sarah's Faith.
Hebrew 11:11

Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Let us have Great Faith in the promises of God. Delight thyself in thy husband and God and watch God give you the desires of your heart.

Spirit of the Living God, I thank you for this Word today. Please confirm in their spirit man all that You desire of them in regards their husbands Lord.

In Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

In His Love & Mine,

Your Humble Servant Angela
