I place this here for this is a Testimony shown to me by the Lord.
I have some items to share that the Lord has shown me that will most likely get me blasted by most, if not all, of the women on here and possibly some men. That is fine by me for I must share what the Lord has so ordered me to share. I am bringing something that I feel the Lord has shown me and has been working on me from the time of HIS revelation about Biblical marriage / Covenant relationships that was shown me a few years ago. What I am about to say here is taken from the following:
Ephesians 5:22-28, 33
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.................Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Let me say this first..........Men, what I am about to say about the above versus may not be the same that the Lord will tell you. I have read, read and re-read all of this time, after time after time, and each time I do it is like the Lord is drilling into my head the same thing about these versus. I am compelled by the Lord to write this for HIS reasons, for they are unknown to me, and for HIS glory
I will use generic names for the man (John), his wife (Jane) and their hopeful / future sisterwife (Doe).
This is what the Lord has told me in a simple way.
Jane must submit herself to the headship / authority of John, just as John must do with Christ and ultimately to the Lord father...........(Now for the blasting).........as John submits himself to Christ in all that he does he is therefore answerable ONLY to Christ for ANY and ALL,............YES I said ANY and ALL actions that he takes part in, this ALSO includes his relationship and actions with Doe.
Jane, as the wife, comes UNDER the AUTHORITY of John and is ANSWERABLE to John for ANY and ALL actions that she takes part in, including her relationship with Doe.
John, as the head and husband of Jane, is now answerable to Christ and the Lord for ANY and ALL actions that Jane takes part in, even those actions she does with Doe. John does not…I will say that again, John DOES NOT have to answer to Jane for ANY actions that he may do, even actions with Doe.
Let me give the following examples.......
John goes and buys a new truck or he decides to put money aside to surprise Jane with a new gift. In either, John DOES NOT have to explain to or answer to Jane for either decision, unless he wishes to do so.
John and Jane wish to do something crazy.......John is answerable for that decision for he is the head of Jane regardless of whose idea it was.
John goes to visit Doe and they go to a movie, ride all over town and then go back to Doe's place where they stand on their heads the rest of the evening........John comes home and Jane ask what went on, at which time she starts giving him the Wright Act about standing on his head all evening with Doe..........this is WRONG...........Jane has no right to do so for she has no right in knowing what John and Doe did. That relationship and the actions done are between Christ, John and Doe. Jane had no right to ask or even question John on what went on. What, if anything, John wishes to tell Jane is up to him. Remember, John is the head not Jane.
Jane goes and visits Doe and they go out to eat, see a movie and maybe have 1 drink during supper. Jane comes home and John asks how it went and what they did. Jane, as the wife and under the headship of John, MUST tell John everything that went on. She has NO RIGHT to not tell John. The actions that went on while Jane and Doe were together come back on the head of John, for he has to answer Christ for the actions of Jane.
Jane goes out and goes on a shopping spree and does not tell John. John finds out and confronts Jane. John demands to know what was bought and how much was spent and orders Jane to return ALL items bought and hand over all credit cards, check book, etc. Jane must submit to this for she must answer to John for all her actions. In turn, had John not done anything, then he would have been held responsible for Jane's actions by the Lord.
.John and Jane go visit Doe. They all curl up on the floor and watch movies to the crack of dawn. John is answerable to Christ the Lord for not only his actions during the movies, but those of Jane as well. He does not have to answer for Doe because they are not in a Covenant Relationship yet.
Doe agrees with the Covenant and joins the family. NOW John is answerable to Christ for not only his actions, those of Jane but also those of Doe. Still, when John and Doe are alone or are off together doing things without Jane, Jane DOES NOT have the right to question either John or Doe on what went on for that is all between John and Doe. What they wish to tell Jane is up to them. The same goes for John and Jane......Doe has NO RIGHT to question them on what they did. John DOES have the right to question either Jane, Doe or both when Jane and Doe go off together, for John is now answerable for both ladies.
Jane and Doe (after she joins the family) MUST submit to John in ALL things from great to small and follow his decisions without question or discussion, just as we are to submit to the Lord in all things and follow HIS direction without question. Should John wish to discuss issues or events with Jane, Doe or both, then that is his right and will be his decision. Once John has made a decision, then he alone will stand in judgment for that decision, not his wife or wives. In turn John is to stand before Jane and Doe ( once she joins the family) as their protector and defender and is to Love them to the point of his own death, just as Christ died for us, so John is to be with his wife / wives. Just as Christ has a personal relationship with each of us and loves us each on our on level, so too is John to love his wife Jane and Doe each on their own level and in their on way. That love may be on a different level for each wife and showed in different ways, so each wife MUST NOT compare her relationship with John to the others relationship for that is not fare to either wife nor John, just like it is not right for us as Christians to compare our walk with the Lord to someone else.
I hope you take this in the spirit it was sent and that you may get a blessing from this.
