• 3:30
  Speaker 1: been in the past few sessions in Paul's First Letter
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to the Corinthians. And today we're in chapter number ten,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: chapter number ten of First Corinthians. So if you have
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: your Bibles, you can go with us, and I'm going
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to begin reading at the verse number one and today's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: title for the sake of giving it a title. By
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the way, oh boy, it is going to be it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: going to be a little offensive for some people. Just
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the title will be offensive to some. But nevertheless, we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: do not shy away from the word of the Living
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: God and the title for today missive woman, the submissive Woman.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But hold on, hold on, before you get yourself all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: worked up. Let's see what the Bible, see what the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: word of the Lord has to say. And by the way,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: as I read. I want you to hear what the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Bible has to say, but I want us and this
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is what I'm going to be focusing on the bigger picture.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I believe of what the apostle is relaying and the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: biblical principle that he is also setting forth. And so
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: let's again see what the Bible, the word of the Lord,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: has to say to us on today, First Corinthians, Chapain
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: number ten, verse number one. I'm reading from the King
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: James version. Moreover, brother, and I would not that you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: should be ignorant. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: me let me back up, let me back up. We
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: did chapter ten last week. I turned the page inadvertently.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'm in chapter number eleven, Amen, chapter number eleven. I'm
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: sorry about that. Chapter number eleven of First for instance,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: immediately as soon as I start reading the way wait wait,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: wait wait, we already did that, Amen. So for those
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of you who did not hear that particular podcast, that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is our previous podcasts on chapter number ten of First Corinthians.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And today we're in chapter eleven. Amen. All right, chapter eleven,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: verse number one. The followers of me, even as I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you remember me in all things and keep the ordinances
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: as I delivered them to you. But I would have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know that the head of every man is Christ,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and the head of the woman is the Man. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. That is God,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that is Christ. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head. That is, of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: course the man. For that is even all one, as
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: if she were shaven or bald, as it were verse
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: number six. For if the woman be not covered, let
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: her also be shorn or shaven, that is. But if
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: it be a shame for a woman to be shorn
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: ought not to cover his head, for as much as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he is the image and glory of God, but the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: woman is the glory of the man. For the man
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Neither was the man created for the woman, but the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to have power on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and let me pause very quickly there, because I may
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not get back to that. So let me just pause
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for just a moment here. And I believe that, of course,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this is certainly a reference to the holy Angels of God,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: who are present with us, who are always around us,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: who are always a man in our myths. Even though
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we don't see these invisible a man, powerful creatures, the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Bible speaks of them as being ministering spirits. And because
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of their and by the way angels in the presence
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of God, a man, they veiled themselves, the cherub them,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: they have faced their feet a man. They veiled themselves
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. And so, discovering that the apostle
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is speaking of and bringing into a man, the conversation
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or the argument, if you will, of the narrative about
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the angels a man. The covering that the woman is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to have on her head is for a man, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it is symbolic a man, and also representative of again honor,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: humility a man, and reverence a man to the lordship
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a man that God has established to the creative order.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And then we'll get to that momentary also that God
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is established. But Paul invokes a man angelic beings a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: man into this a man again, to show a man
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the kind of relationship, the kind of and I think
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think of certainly. Of course he's referring here to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the respect a man and again in the divine order
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a man, the uh as we're going to be speaking
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of here, the lordship and the things that God has
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: established in the order of creation. Amen. And so this
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is this is, this is all about submission. Amen, This
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: is all about submission. And of course, uh again, we're
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not gonna dwell heavily on the actual covering of the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: head and and and the reason why we're not going
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to because it would not take We don't have the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: sufficient time here. And I want again to us to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: get the bigger picture and the biblical principle that is
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: at work here. And it's all about God's created order
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and how we as men and women are to be
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a man in order before the Lord. Listen what he
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: says again, nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Let me back up a little bit, because I you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: pause therefore comment, So let me back up back to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: verse number nine. Neither was the man created for the woman,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: but the woman for the man, And for this cause
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: all the woman to have power on her head because
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the angels. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: neither the woman without the man in the Lord. For
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: as the woman is of the man, even so is
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the man also by the woman. But all things of God,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: so Paul says in verse thirteen, in yourselves, is it
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: calmly that a woman pray unto God? Uncovered? Does not
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: even nature itself teach you that if a man have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: long hair, it is a shame unto him. But if
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: for her hair is given her for a covering. But
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: if any man seemed to be contentious, we have no
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: such custom, neither the churches of God. Amen. Now it's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: interesting that I've read that, of course, male testosterone is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: perhaps one of the leading calls is of men losing
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: their hair, and estrogen, which is predominantly, of course in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the female body. Is there too a man promote her hair,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the length of her hair, the health of her hair,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: so to speak. And this is what God did in creation,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and he gave to the woman hair for covering. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of course we know that men can have long hair.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: But again, and I'm not get again, not getting into
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: all of the nuances about the hair and all of that,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: but it is quite telling that in our culture, when
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you have the crossover, as it were, of the sexist,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: when men want to be women and women want to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be men, we see how that in many cases men
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: will try to extend their hair or wear wigs long hair,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and women that do not want to be women, as
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it were, speak to or cut down or minimize the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: hair that they have. And again we in our rebellion,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: as it were, we actually give credence to the truth
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of God's creation, the truth of the Word of God,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the truth of scriptures. And I want us to understand,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you know, from what we are reading here, of what
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we're seeing here, from what Apostle Paul has written to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the church, that there is equality of both a man,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: man and woman. In the eyes of God, there's equality.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It is God who created us as males and females.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: But we must understand that there is a distinction in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: how a man we are to function in our respective
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: roles and responsibilities within the order, within the order, the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: divine order, the divine a man command a man that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: God established a man when he created us. The Bible
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: tells us in his image and in his likeness and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the course. Again, what we want to emphasize today is
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: all about a man, the created order of God, God's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: order of creation. And first of all, let's go back
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to this also because Paul references this again of believing
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: his first letter to Timothy a man. The man was
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: created first, the man was created first, and the man
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: was given dominion before the woman was created a man.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And by the way she was created or taken as
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: it were, out of the man a man. And so
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the apostle is simply reminding us here that the man
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: was not created for the woman, but the woman was
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: actually created Amen for the man. And so we all
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: need each other. Of course, the man needs the woman,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the woman needs the man. And we need each other
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: both in our relationship to each other and for companionship
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and certainly for procreation. Amen of both men and women,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: males and females. We need each other. So we are
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: again in God's divine created order. We are not to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be without each other apart from each other. Amen, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: certainly not to a man disrupt a man. What God
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: has a man ordained and decreed from the beginning, which
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of course we have. But nevertheless, and I'm gonna speak
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to that shortly here. This is why we have a man.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: The problems that we have in our culture, in our
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: world today, and even in the Church, we certainly know
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that men cannot reproduce without the woman, nor can the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: woman procreate or reproduce without the man. That's a fact
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a man. I don't care what the lies of the culture.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: The deception that is being forced upon our rebellious culture
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: today is sane a man. We cannot procreate, we cannot
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: reproduce without each other. That's the that's the creation of God.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's the order of God, and and it's and it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: is to be done by the way within the confines
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of holy matrimony, the way God establish it. Therefore, Genesis,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: all the way back to Genesis, shall a man leave
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: his father and mother, cleave to his wife, and they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: too shall become one flesh a man. And he told
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: him them, and as he commanded, even Uh set forth
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the commandment of the animals in creation, who were created
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: by the way before the men. The man was a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: man before man came upon the earth. He said, be fruitful, multiply,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and replenish the earth. Amen. And so this is this is,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: this is the problem that we have. We are listening
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to the lies and the deception uh that is being
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: forced it upon the culture today. Amen, and and and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and am I am my humble opinion, if you will.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: This is a judgment upon our culture, our world today
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: because of our lack of submission. Amen to the lordship
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. And when we reject Jesus, we are
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: rejecting the truth. And we will reject the truth. We
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: are opening ourselves of course and actually accepting the deception
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that is coming from the enemy. Do you either going
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to be UH followers and adherent to the truth. You
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: shall know the truth, Jesus said, and the truth that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: shall set you free, make you free. Amen. And he
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that he whom the Son says free, of course, the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Bible says, is free. Indeed, if you don't love the truth,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: know the truth, accept the truth, obey the truth. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: only other alternative is lies, deception, delusion. That's where we are,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a man. We're living in a world of lies, deception,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and delusion because of the rejection of Jesus. Amen. And
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: so this world that we live in is in a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: constant state of conflict, chaos.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Of confusion because of again man's ongoing rebellion and unwillingness
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to be submissive.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Amen to the Lord, and also of course to a man.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Of course, obey the word of God, and never forget,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of course, he is not only Lord, he is King.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He is the judge. Amen. And in him, the Bible says,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: we live, move, and have our being in an apartment him.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: We can do nothing. A man, he was in the beginning.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: He is the Word, the Word that was made flesh.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: All things were made by him, and without him, not
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: anything made that was made. Amen. He is a man,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the creator, he is God. Amen. And so again he
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: is the pre eminent example also of submissiveness. This is
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this is who. Amen. And again I know there's there
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: are those, of course who fight against and this is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: why we have the rebellions in the world today. They're
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: going to fight against a man. The truth of God
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that is established for us, that is clearly visible and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the only clausible a man explanation for our a man
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: being our existence, our world, a man. That's the genesis
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: account of creation and what God established a man from
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the beginning, a man. And again, even in our rebellion
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: we still give credence to these facts. A man, we
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: give credence to them, even in our rebellion. A man,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: let God be true, and every man a liar. Amen.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And so what we have in Jesus is the pre
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: eminent example of submissiveness a man. And it was in
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the predetermined plan of God, before the foundation of the world,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: because the plant of God, having all knowledge, omniscience and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: fore knowledge and all of that, a man knew, of
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: course that we would rebel, knew that we would sin.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And before the foundation of the were the Bible tells
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: us the lamb of God was slaying a man, that is,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a man in the god head, a man. You have, Jesus,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Christ, who would come into the world, who would
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: be manifested in the flesh, who would take on human flesh.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Now he was not created, Amen. He is pre eminent. Amen.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And again all things were made by him. There is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: nothing made it was not made. Amen by him. He
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is the first and the last, the Alpha, the Omega,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the beginning, the end. A man pre eminent not only
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: in all things, but certainly he is pre eminent in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: this A man submissiveness, that is, being a man talked
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to us a man shown to us pre eminent example,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: foremost example of pre eminent I'm sorry of submissiveness a man.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And again it was in the predetermined plan of God,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the Godhead a man that Jesus, a man humbled himself.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: He submitted himself to the will of the Father, said
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: not my will, but thine be done. Amen. The Bible
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: says he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the death of the cross. Amen. And again you're talking
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: about submission, but not only that, he also gave himself,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: yielded himself over to the will of men. He said,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: even at cavalry at the cross, at the point of death,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: he could have And as they were deriding him and say,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you who save others, save yourself. If you of Christ,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: come down from the cross, choice demonstrate your power. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Jesus Amen, of course, had already spoken of that hour
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and said that, you know he could he could have. Amen.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: But again he was purposed in his heart. He knew
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: what his destiny was, he knew what his purpose was,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he knew what his reason for coming into the world was.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: He knew he came for that very moment to die. Amen.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: The death of a sinner, even though he himself was
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not a sinner. He became sin, he who knew no sin,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: so that we a man again, this is this is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: this is submission, Amen. And he knew how horrible that
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: moment was going to be. He knew how dark it
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: was going to be. He knew that God was going
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to turn away from me because he could not look
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on sin a man. And in that very moment, that's
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: what he dreaded. He did not dread the spear, he
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: did not dread the nails, he did not dread the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: crown of thorns. It was the fact that he would
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: become sin, the holiness a man, that is him, a man,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the righteousness that is him, A man would become sin,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: would become vile, would become despised and rejected, a man
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: smitten of God. That's what he a man, dreaded. But
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: nevertheless he said, my will but be done. Of course,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: again shows it demonstrates to us, Amen, what true submissiveness
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: is and what it's all about. And again he is
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: not calling for us, a man, commanding of us, asking
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of us to do anything less or anything more, if
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you will, than what he has done. Amen, we certainly
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: are actually we are doing less. That's certainly for sure.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: We're doing much less a man in submission, Amen to
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: his will. Amen. And so this is what he did
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: in order to bring a man's salvation down to us
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in this fallen world. And again, the act of submission
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: has to be from the heart. It has to be
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: from the heart. It has to be from the heart
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that is converted a man, because it can't be otherwise
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: unless and until we are changed. Except you be converted, Amen,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: as Jesus taught his disciples, and become as little children. Amen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: There's a conversion that takes place. The Holy Spirit works
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: and moves upon the heart. He quickens us Amen, because
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: we are dead in our trespasses, in our sins, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: there has to be a conversion that takes place in
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the heart, a change, a change. If any man be
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in Christ, the Bible says, he's a what new creation,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the oldest passed away, And behold, all things become new
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, before submission can happen. Amen, in us,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to us and for us, Amen. The heart has to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: be changed. And then the heart is to be grateful.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: There's to be gratitude, there's to be thanksgiving. Amen. Continual thanksgiving.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That's all about acknowledging. When we are thankful, when we
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: are grateful, we are acknowledging the one who was far
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: more submissive than we will ever be. Amen. And that's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the heart of gratitude, that's the heart of willingness. Now
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: we now willfully submit our ourselves to the will of God,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: just as Jesus did. He is our example. Amen. The
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Bible tells us Apostle Paul again, chapter twelve. You're therefore, brother,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and by the mercies of God, that you submit yourselves,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: as it were, willing sacrifices. You submit yourself, your bodies,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: your mind, your soul, your spirit, as it were, Amen,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to the will of God. Not to be conformed to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this world. But there's to be a transformation. We have
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Again, submission.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But the heart is from the heart. It's from the heart.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Forgiveness is from the heart, Love is from the heart, Peace, joy,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Everything comes out of the heart. Amen. This is a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: heart that is willing and obedient. Amen. That's the only
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: way that we can be submissive. We cannot be will
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: not be submissive otherwise if it doesn't happen in the heart. Amen.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: And because it doesn't happen in the heart, and if
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: we allow it not to happen in the heart, we
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: have what we have in our world today, whole sale
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: failure in this world. Then again it goes back to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: our failure to honor leadership, to honor lordship, Amen, to
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: honor the God of Heaven. That's where it begins. We
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: have rebelled against the Creator, a man. We have rebelled
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: against his authority, a man. We have veiled against his
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: commands and and and against his sovereignty. That's that's that's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: where we are. That's that's why we are again as
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a force stated in the world of confusion and chaos,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a man conflict that never seems to cease. A man
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: can we can have no peace? Why why can't we
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: be at peace? Because we have rejected the Prince of peace,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a man. We've rejected the prince of peace, and and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and and and the non submissive a man man to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the lordship of Christ should not have an expet By
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the way, listen carefully, the man who is not submissive
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to the lordship of Christ should not have an expectation
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of submissiveness of submissiveness from the woman. Man, you expect
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a woman to be submissive, but you're not submitted. Remember,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Christ is the head of the man, Amen, and the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: man is the head of the woman. But if we
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: if we as men, are not submissive to the lordship,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the kingship, Amen, the head a man who is head
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and lord over us, how can we, then, Amen, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: good conscience, expect that there will be submissiveness from the woman.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And this is exactly a man what we have been experiencing, Amen,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in this fallen world. And frankly, this has been going
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: on since a man, the beginning of our fall, the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: beginning of our rebellion in the garden of Eden. The
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: desire the woman is going to be to her husband
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and he's going to rule over her. But there's a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: natural again, because of our fallen nature, because of our
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: resistance and again continual rebellion against God, we certainly are
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: not going to be submissive one to another. This is
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: this is the problem we have in our world, in
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: our culture, in our civilization. And again, this is nothing new,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: there's nothing absolutely there's absolutely nothing new about this at all,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of course, But and no person, let me just go
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: back to the fact of course we're talking about the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: submissive woman. But no woman can be made willing in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: heart amen to be submissive by man. Man cannot make
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a woman. No man can make a woman be submissive
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: in heart. I'm talking about any heart. I'm not talking
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: about this coarse stuff. And I'm talking about this this
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: religion stuff where there's a pretense, where there's you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a cult like behavior, because you're trying to follow rules
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and regulations and you're being forced, as it were, coarse
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: as it were, browbeaten as it were, to be in submission,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: when the submission is not really from the heart. And
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: this is what this is what the Bibles are this,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: this is stuff from the heart. God wants, for example,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: again forgiveness from ar Jesus said this way, if you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: do not from your heart forgive me and their trustpassiness,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: neither will your heavenly Father forgive you. And Jesus spoke
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: about the things that come out of the heart that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: they file a man. It is out of everything is
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: about the heart. Man. The Bible says looks only outward appearance,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: but God looks at the heart. So we again we
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: can look at these people. We can see how people
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: may dress and act in public. But how are you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: conducting yourselves from the heart? Amen, from the heart. It's
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: like the kids standing up in the corner and sent
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the time out, and he said, I I may be
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: standing up, Amen, but he said, I'm standing up physically,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: standing up physically, but he said, I'm sitting down in
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: my mind. Amen. And that's how it is when when
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: we try to coerce, when we try to force submissiveness,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: it has to come from a heart. A heart has
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: been that has been converted, a heart that is obedient,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a heart that is willing, a heart that is appreciative,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a heart that loves God and understands again the great
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: sacrifice that Jesus Amen put forth on our behalf. That's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we can have true submission. Amen. Amen. Uh. And and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and no man can be made submissive uh to the rule,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: authority and lordship, lordship of Jesus Christ again without a
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: change of heart. That's that's pre eminent. That's first, Amen.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Those who are made to be submissive externally again, the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: outward appearance, they appear to be submissive on the outside.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And and and if they're made to be submissive by man, Amen,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: there is you can you can you can. You can
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: rest assured that there is inside of them rebellion, there
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: is inside of them, misery, there's an inside there's there
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: is inside of them a desire to escape a man
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: from it, because there's no freedom there there. You cannot
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: be free unless your will is free, unless you have
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: been converted, unless you have been set free. And again,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: when you follow after uh some religious order, some cult
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: like uh uh religious religious teaching and so forth and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so on, in submission, as it were, you're not free.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: You're not doing it from your will, free will of
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the heart. You've been deceived, Amen, You've been coerced. Amen,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: You've been strong armed into doing it. But it has
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to be something that is from the heart. And Paul
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I believe, later also writes about how Sarah the Bible says,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: obeyed Abraham calling him Lord. That's a small ale, of course, Amen.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: And of course she was an example of submissiveness. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: but Sarah was a very powerful woman as well. And
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: we know and I get to some of that just moment.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: But whenever we fail, whenever we I'm talking about man
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and woman, when we fail to honor, amen, the lordship
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, the kingship of Jesus Christ. Amen, the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: word of the Lord, the order that God established. When
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: we fail, Amen, we fail in freedom. We will not
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: have freedom. Amen, we will not have liberty. We will
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: fail the grace of God. Amen. Graces, I mean God
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: is just overflowing and and there's new grace mercy every day.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: God is. God is gracious, He is compassionate, he is loving,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: he is tolerant. Oh, my God, he is. And and
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: but it's us. The failure is on our part. It's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: not a failure of the sufficiency of it, Amen, of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the efficacy of it. No, no, no, The failure is
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: not on God's art at all. Amen. It's on us,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because we fail to honor him obey him. We fail
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to submit, and so we fail in the freedom. We
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: fail in liberty. Amen. We as the people of God,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: us to be at liberty. We are not to be
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: in bondage anymore. There's a liberty. Stand fast. The Bible says, Therefore,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in the liberty whereth crisis, set us free, and be
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: not again entangled in the yoke of bondage. Amen, we
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: have been set free. We are to live a man
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: in liberty and freedom. We are to live a man
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: in the grace of God. Amen. And then peace. We
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: fail to have peace. That's why we again, we have
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: so much chaos and confusion, not only in our homes,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: but it's everywhere, everywhere in the culture. There's so much
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: anger and malice and hatred. And again we have stirred
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: up all kinds of and fomented all kinds of competition
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and hatred between the sexes, between males and females. Amen.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Not only is it we have racial strife, we have
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: gender strife of all kinds and gender confusion. Amen. Again,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: why because we have not submitted ourselves to the order
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: of God. He made them male and female from the beginning,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and he established an order. He gave man, the man
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: dominion before the woman was created. Now again, if we
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: don't like it, and then if we're offended by that,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that's the order of God. That's God's design, that's his will,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: that's his purpose, and if we would follow it. Amen.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: For example, the submissive woman again we go back, just
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: my mama almost finished, the submissive woman. When the woman
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: is submissed, when the wand is a Proverbs thirty one
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: woman as it were read that if you're not familiar
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: with it. She will have a very powerful and profound
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: effect on her husband, on her house, on her children,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: on everybody she come in contact with. Amen, I believe,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the God Amen is crystal clear
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: about this and this submissive woman. She will have peace
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a man, peace in her home, peace in her mind,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: because that's where it begins. She will have grace and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: be a gracious woman. She will have virtue and be
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a virtuous woman, a man she willed. This submissive woman
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: will wield influence. She will wield influence in her home,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: in her circle, everywhere. Hey, man, you know why, because
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: of God's graciousness that will be all around her. Sort
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: of like Esther, Amen, Esther was a woman who had favor,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: but she was submissive. She submitted herself to her her
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: her uncle Mordecai, who acted as of course, her parents
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: because he adopted her. She submitted herself to to the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: king chip that was over her. This submissive woman yielded power,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: power that came from her because she was submissive. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the submissive woman, of course, pleases God. And that's ultimately
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: what we're all aiming to do to please God. And again,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ himself exemplified the Ultimate, Amen, the ultimate in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: his will and in his obedience to be submissive to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the will of God. What again did he say? Nevertheless,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: not my will, not my will. Amen. And of course
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen. He is the head of
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the man. He is the head of the church, He's
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the head of the body. He is Lord over all. Amen.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: And the man, the Bible says clear to teaching, here
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: is the head of the woman. And when we rebel
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: against disorder, when we continue, we will have disorder. We're
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: going to continue to have disunity. We're going to continue
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to have dissension, going to continue to have a man
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: division and discord that is wreaking all kinds of destruction
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: in our world. That's what that's what's going to continue
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: as long as we a man fail in our roles
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: to be submissive, a man, submissive one to another, submissive
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, to submissive to the word of God
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and to the will of God. A man. And oh,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: what a beautiful, what a wonderful, what a harmonious a man,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: an effervescent peace that we would all have if we
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: would just submit ourselves, Amen again, to the order of God.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: This is not about the man lording over the woman,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: a man browbeating the woman. No, no, no again, because
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: again the submission, that's that's coerced, that's forced. The true
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: submission comes from the heart. And again, Oh what peace,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: oh what harmony, oh what joy? We would all have
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a man to fulfill us, to overflow in us and
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: with us and through us, Amen, and all kinds of fruitfulness.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: If we would again submit ourselves Amen to the order
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: of God, to the will of God, to the word
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: of God. Amen. And that's what we want to pray today,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that somewhere somebody, amen, will be pricked within their hearts
