My freedom in Christ does allow me to be who God has called me to be. The Holy Spirit will never lead contradictory to God’s word. I have listed, as well as others on this blog, plenty of scripture that clearly and directly instruct women what their roles are to be in the home and in the church. Submit means to submit, to be quiet in the church and not to usurp authority over a man means exactly what it says. Why are you denying God’s word? What are you going to gain in the end?
If we don’t lay aside our pride and rebellion and follow God’s plan , we are going to lose in the end. If you think being submissive to your husband makes you equal with a slave, then you know nothing of the cross. Allowing your husband to be the head of his home will lift both of you up. It will also help your children to learn to humble themselves when they need to (and keep the doors closed to homosexual deception. Being a Christian is all about dying to self and learning to trust God in every area of our lives. If your husband has come to trust you and asks for your opinions, wonderful. If there are decisions he makes you don’t agree with, we are to be like Sarah and not be afraid with any amazement, but to trust God is even in control of these times. Pray the Lord gives your husband and church leaders wisdom, and find rest in the Lord that He sees everything. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit so your lives are effecting others and God is hearing your prayers? There is nothing more powerful or of greater influence in our lives than prayer. ,Women do have more discernment than men at times, but that is not a green light to show our spirituality and make them feel inadequate. We are to build them up, and learn to take the back seat humbly. Your husband will begin to adore and honor you as you lift him up ,and you reverence him as you would Christ. “At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away.
It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day.”
