One
of the key things a brother needs to look out for in a woman, and this
is something we sisters need to attain to is:'Wives SUBMIT yourselves
unto your own husbands AS UNTO THE LORD.'{Eph 5:22}
The premise is 'AS UNTO THE LORD', so if you want to know if she will submit to you in marriage, observe to see IF SHE IS DOING THAT NOW WITH THE LORD. I mean, if our example of submission is how we submit to the Lord, then WE WILL ONLY PATTERN OUR SUBMISSION TOWARDS OUR HUSBANDS AS WE DO WITH CHRIST.
Submission to Christ is about letting go of our opinions and following a 'Thus Saith the Lord.' It is not walking in 'the counsel of the ungodly' when it comes to how to interact with a brother; or following the world's definition of beauty and strength. It is about seeing new revelations in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy regarding modesty, adornment, diet, education etc, and not allowing self rise up and choose to reject it because "that's extreme."
Of a truth it is that we will submit to our husbands as we do with the Lord.
"So Lord, what areas in my heart, in my life am I not srrendering to Your will? When someone crosses me, or I am tempted to get impatient or frustrated with someone, do I heed Your still small voice to harden not my heart but surrender to the mind of Christ? If this is not my case, I pray that You make my heart tender, sensitive and pliable to Your voice calling to my heart, and in turn wholeheartedly obey. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
