Every Wise Woman Builds Up Her Home: Fear of Submission
Posted By Jacque Dixon on November 29, 2009 in Categories: A Wife after His Heart, A Woman's Ministry, Thy WORD is Life, Titus 2 Women
Have you ever heard this – or thought it?
“…If I did everything he said to do, my life would be a terrible mess!!“
Wives have a double-fear with terror when they do not understand submission. Once they understand it, once they practice it, they look back, and they say, “Why was I ever afraid of this?”. They fear submission so much that they don’t submit, thus not realizing that their lack of submission makes them completely vulnerable to their husbands’ dumb decisions.
See how this teaching gives wives freedom and protection and teaches husbands spiritually as Yahweh did when Abraham made a foolish decision for Sarah that she submitted to him in this wonderful lesson by S.M. Davis here: The 7-Fold Power Of A Wife’s Submission
Learn to duck so Yahweh can deal with the head of the home. And make sure it is not YOU who is the head!
Ephesians 5
21 Submit to one another in fear of the Messiah. 22 Wives should submit to their husbands as they do to the Lord; 23 because the husband is head of the wife, just as the Messiah, as head of the Messianic Community, is himself the one who keeps the body safe. 24 Just as the Messianic Community submits to the Messiah, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
31 “Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and remain with his wife, and the two will become one.”f 32 There is profound truth hidden here, which I say concerns the Messiah and the Messianic Community. 33 However, the text also applies to each of you individually: let each man love his wife as he does himself, and see that the wife respects her husband.
Be blessed in your marriage!

Submission can be a hard one. But it’s our wanting to be in control and believing our way is better than God’s way–and our husband’s.
I think of the biggest times I fought my husband and wasn’t submissive. When I gave in, the things he wanted to do ended up being huge blessings in our lives.

Thank you for reposting this teaching. I listened to it twice and wrote down all 7 points he made. The two that spoke the most to me and that I have seen manifest in my marriage were….
#6 The power to protect your husband.
#7 The power to change your husband.
When we are submissive wives this power is available to us to bless our marriages and our homes.
Thank you for helping spread a truly Biblical view of marriage with others.
In Messiah,
Navah
