As is being seen, there is much emphasis on the fullness of the five fold
ministry coming together and working strategically as the Hand of God
through the Arm of the Lord. Much has been said about the shifting and
transitioning into the last days.
There will be re-alignments, and corrections will be made, but I think we,
and especially the apostolic community, need(s) to be careful how we
present this. (Here is an example of the prophet at work.)
God is wonderfully and definitely bringing things into HIS Order. And how
we rejoice when He does. Since many, if not the majority of the end time
apostles are men, a male dominated (rather than male led) movement can
occur.
We hear talk of things being "knocked around" and "blown up" or
"demolished" in the coming in of this order and these type power things
naturally excite a man. Boys in their developmental skills as children
make more noises than words than their counterparts (girls) in their
verbal development. In their maturity, women speak at least three times
more words than men.
Relationship therapists will tell you that men are "bottom liners" where
women want "details"! And the two must learn to come together in their
different styles of communication to understand and relate to each other
well.
Most women do not want to lead the home. If you ask the majority of
Christian women if they want to lead their homes, they will give you an
emphatic "No!" Women for the most part are nesters and enablers while men
are builders. A woman will work with what a man gives her to work with.
If she must do it alone, she will build up an exterior that is not easy
for others to work with but yet it is her survival and the life of her
brood.
The Word of God says that God hates divorce, and any plan less than
marriage for adulthood and child-rearing is less than adequate from Holy
eyes. He says from the beginning that it is not good for man (Adam) to be
alone.
God Himself is seeking for a Bride, one that He Himself has come and laid
down His life for, and given as His example. In His Example, He didn't
blow up, knock around, or demolish anyone, but rather let them come into
their own fulfillment of choice.
God is seeking more than a honeymoon night or week. He is seeking a
Companion to be His Wife. Too often we see this Relationship spoken about
in carnal terms, often using Song of Solomon type imagery. It will often
go into the totally emotional romantic realm that is "drunk" or "lost" to
the hour and totally out of control in "ectasy."
And while it is nice for either gender to feel "totally" cared for, is
that really what is going on in the Spirit realm? Is that really the kind
of Bride our God is looking for? Is that the kind of home you were raised
in?
We all know that because of satanic and demonic activity in this life,
that things could be better. Bad things do happen because of this
influence.
But the Bible plainly states that God created us for His pleasure and
fellowship. While we may use it as affectionate terms, don't we want our
mates to be more than just our pets? Don't we have a heightened level and
opportunity of interaction?
Of course we do! The Scriptures have a detailed plan for both men and
women. A woman is not just to be a daughter, not just a bride, but also a
wife and mother. She is to be an example and teacher to other women as
well.
Men are not just to be work horses and slave objects. They are more than
just the provision they provide. Men also rebel when they are taken out
of what God calls normal and reasonable service.
The enemy has and is exploiting the differences and needs. It takes an
act of our wills to find and create quality and meaningful relationships,
and these are relationships that God wants blessed!
There is no greater feeling like the feeling of peace when the home is in
balance and the emotional, physical and social needs are met. The parents
are happy, the children are happy and even the town (or society) is happy.
With upward focus and Godly goals in that setting, we find much
fulfillment for the life we were created to live.
In this fallen world, it is what we strive for and what the true focus of
Revival is all about - this opportunity for all people to express who they
really are without it being at the expense of another person whom Jesus
died for, and He died for the whole world. It is our full salvation.
As I have mentioned, the Lord is not just seeking a Lover for His
Honeymoon, as exciting as that might be, but He is seeking a Bride who
will be His Wife and who will co-labor with Him as a Proverbs 31 Woman.
This type Woman will bring out the fullness of the relationship that God
intended men and women to share.
This incoming apostolic move will not be male "dominated," but male led
as Jesus led. This move will prepare the Bride, the Body of Christ for
Life as a vibrant, dynamic Wife to the Groom.
Things, instead of being stressful, will have a sense of normalcy and
right, and will function with all being fulfilled. Life will not be at
the expense of another, for Jesus Himself has already paid the price in
the provision of God, and it is a provision that overcomes the evil one BY
OUR CHOICES.
We are not coming into an order so dominated that each human spirit cannot
be released into its God designed glory of His multi-faceted dimensions of
expressions through the new birth in Christ, the Anointed One. TRUE order
will bring true peace and fulfillment and joy and even "normalcy" like we
have never known before, for it is how we were designed to live.
There will be joy in all fellowship, enjoyable tasks, deep and pleasurable
communication, and common goals for accomplishment brought about by the
unity and subsequent receiving of the commanded blessing.
