Part 5 of: Identifying the fruits of the Spirit

What many saints refuse to realize is this; there is great power in submission. Also; for anyone in God to be elevated in righteousness, they must first experience submission to the lowest; without experiencing submission, they will never handle elevation properly; Selah!!! All of David’s youth, his adolescent and some of David’s adulthood, while being anointed King in a young age; his refusal to slay rejected by Adonai, King Saul: it demonstrated total submission unto God and to God’s anointed. Even Yeshua Himself had to submit Himself, as is taught out of verses 1-2 of the 4th chapter of the scroll of Galatians, from the Amplified Bible in these words: what I mean [when I talk about children and their guardians] is this: as long as the heir is a child, He does not differ at all from a slave even though He is the [future owner and] master of all [the estate]; but He is UNDER [the authority of] guardians and household administrators or managers until the date set by His father [when HE IS OF LEGAL AGE-WHICH WAS THIRTY]. If these words were fulfilled in Yeshua’ life; we as children of El Shaddai will endure the same process, as teaches the 3rd verse of that same 4th chapter of the scroll of Galatians out of the Amplified Bible: [whether Jews or Gentiles], when we were children (spiritually immature), were kept like slaves UNDER the elementary [man-made religious or philosophical] teachings of the world. Here’s the dilemma; if you refuse to be taught, while being submitted to the person who is appointed by God as your teacher; you will never grow and wax strong in spirit, as John the Baptist did; nor will you increase in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man; as Yeshua did (for you’re baptized into one of these three person’s ministry, the three being Moses, John, or Yeshua) as teaches the 2nd verse of the 10th chapter of the First scroll of Corinthians and verses 3 & 5 of the 19th chapter of the scroll of Acts. Today, being the 2018th year, when the word SUBMISSION is taught or even mentioned as being a part of Elohiym’s principles and protocol; it’s like the man of God has just introduced them to the bubonic plague; and they put up their repelling screen. Nevertheless, we see a slave girl running away from her captive (Sarai) and no one was chasing after her (from the household of Abram); it was the angel of El Shaddai who found and met her (her being Hagar) Elohiym asked her; where did you come from and where are you going? Her response was; I am running away from my mistress, Sarai: but she had no idea of where she was going as most people in the church do when they run away from their teacher’s harsh treatment.” Please pay attention to the instructions in which the angel of El Shaddai gave to a runaway pregnant slave, who was being handled roughly by her mistress Sarai, at Abram’s word: her being pregnant, did not conceive this fruit on her own but she conceived this fruit in the household of someone else and pride caused her to take the credit for it; but when a slave gets pregnant in the household of their master, the child belongs to the master. El Shaddai told her (her being Hagar); Go back to your mistress (Sarai), and SUBMIT, HUMBLY TO HER AUTHORITY.” This is the same submission in which Yeshua had to do unto His mother Mary and His stepfather Joseph, when they found Him in the temple with the doctors and the lawyers of the Torah (as is revealed in verses 45-51 of the 2nd chapter of the scroll of Luke) for He was still a slave; even as Hagar was still a slave and had to be UNDER the tutors and governors of the household of Abram (she being a child and immature). This submission of Hagar’s to Sarai, it was for the child’s sake in which she was carrying; as is pointed out in these words from verses 10-13 of the 16th chapter of the scroll of Genesis in these words from the Amplified Bible: then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.” The Angel of the Lord continued, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall name him Ishmael (God hears), Because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your persecution (suffering). “He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man; His hand will be against every man [continually fighting] And every man’s hand against him; And he will dwell in defiance of all his brothers.” Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?” Another way SUBMISSION is shown in the Word of God, it’s when someone ministers to a person for a while (WITHOUT FIGHTING AGAINST THE PERSON IN WHOM THEY’RE MINISTERING TO); as Elisha did unto Elijah. For if Yeshua would not have SUBMITTED to His parents when they found Him three days later; though He was in the household of God, about His Father’s business; He would not have ever increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with Adonai and with man; Adonai would not have validated Him; Selah!!!! Yeshua, He even had to SUBMIT EVEN unto John the Baptist ministry for a moment; as is shown in verses 13-15 of the 3rd chapter of the scroll of Matthew. Here’s a big question, who are you SUBMITTED UNDER OR MINISTERING TO, that ye may be elevated after a while??? For Elohiym informed the symbolic picture of woman of a church in the garden, before putting the man out of the garden: that her desire shall (FINALLY) be to her husband and he shall (FINALLY) rule over thee (since you wouldn’t allow him to rule over you in the garden). This type of SUBMISSION is still ordered by El Shaddai these days, being the 2018th year; as is seen in these words from verses 11-14 of the 2nd chapter of the First scroll of Timothy from the Amplified Bible: A woman must quietly RECEIVE INSTRUCTION WITH ALL SUBMISSIVENESS. I (Paul; who penned the majority of the New Testament) DO NOT ALLOW A WOMAN TO TEACH OR EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER A MAN, but to remain quiet [in the congregation]. FOR ADAM WAS FORMED FIRST [by God from the earth], then Eve; AND IT WAS NOT ADAM WHO WAS DECEIVED, but the woman who was led astray (RELIGIOUSLY) and fell into sin (which was idolatry of self). The King James Version puts that same 11th verse of the 2nd chapter of the First scroll of Timothy in these words: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. If we are able to say, that was back in those days; so is everything you’re reading and studying from the Word of God today; it was back in those days; but, you’re choosing what to accept; from back in those days’ literature; Selah!!! Men are ordered to submit themselves unto their own wives and to deal with them with KNOWLEDGE (as them being the weaker vessels in the faith; even as the woman of a church was in the garden). Without obedience there will be no validation from heaven concerning your ministry; for after Yeshua submitted Himself unto John the Baptist ministry; His validation from heaven came forth in the 17th verse of the 3rd chapter of the scroll of Matthew in these words: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased and delighted!” even the Gentiles understand submission; for the centurion said unto Yeshua in verses 8-9 of the 8th chapter of the scroll of Matthew from the Amplified Bible: Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 FOR I ALSO AM A MAN SUBJECT TO AUTHORITY [OF A HIGHER RANK THAN I AM], WITH SOLDIERS SUBJECT TO ME; and I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” Submission is not weakness, it’s strength and a very important learning experience to your obedience to God the Father: Selah!!! Get this saints; God will validate you on obedience; as is seen with Saul; when Saul refused to obey God; the Kingdom was taken away from Him; for, obedience is better than sacrifice!!!! Most folks refuse to believe that obedience and believing God are one and the same; for Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness. Who are you obeying or are you believing the whole Word of God, or are you selecting parts of His Word that suits you? Here is where we of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries will be pausing for the moment. For enough has been said to upset you or to make you go hmm!!! We will speak with you at a later date on this topic, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!
