UNDERSTANDING SUBMISSION / BEING SUBJECT TO
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man. — Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
To The Bride of MessiYAH / The Church / Ekklesia
To The Women
To The Men
Using Ephesians 5 as our reference and foundation in understanding the highly controversial topic of submission we not only see the order but the desired outcome for the order instituted by YAH in and through YAHushuWaH.
SUBMIT > SUBMISSION > SUBMITTING > SUBMITTED
Let us take a look at the word used in the Greek in Ephesians 5 for submitting and submit / subjecting to
We see that the word translated as submit(ting) / subject to in a practical sense was…
a Greek military term meaning “to arrange [troop divisions] in a military fashion under the command of a leader”. In non-military use, it was “a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden”.
MANY believers desire the blessings of YAH without the order of YAH, not understanding that the order of YAH, is, the will of YAH. Attempting to circumvent the order of YAH is tantamount to iniquity, which is a product of stubbornness and related to idolatry.
A man has to voluntarily submit to YAHushuWaH in everything which means he has to love his wife/woman/ishah in the same way YAHushuWaH loves his bride the church, so that his prayers will not be hindered.
A woman has to submit to her husband/man in ALL THINGS to become glorious without a spot a wrinkle or a blemish to be holy.
But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in EVERYTHING. — Ephesians 5:24 LSB
Until the woman is married she submits to her father so the order is in place from birth and never meant to be broken.
Submission is designed to restore the order of YAH in the earth.
Even YAHushuWaH will himself submit/be subject to YAH the father…
And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that (YAH) God may be all in all. — 1 Corinthians 15:28 LSB
A LIVING SACRIFICE
YAHushuWaH is NOT asking of us anything that he has not already done…
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. — Philippians 2:8 LSB
The transformation you want and need in your life only comes after you take up your cross and die daily…
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
A LIVING SACRIFICE,
holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
THAT YE MAY PROVE
what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. — Romans 12:1-2 KJV
EVERY affliction of the devil comes because of a failure to submit to YAH or a failure to resist the devil or both combined.
Resisting the devil without submitting to YAH is foolish and commonly called religion.
Submitting to YAH and not resisting the devil is commonly called compromise.
“If it is evil in your sight to serve YAHuWaH, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve YAHuWaH.” — Joshua 24:15 LSB
Shalom Love and Blessings in MessiYAH
