Reminds me of the movie WAR ROOM. I just watched it again after years. And now it makes sense when the Bible says Surrender to God. Resist the devil and it will flee.
So good! Another cool definition I came across online is "to voluntarily take a position where you put your trust in someone else and heed their leadership." Submission is God giving us a choice, as women, to trust and be led. I think sometimes submission is communicated as being "told what to do," and this offends and angers women in today's culture. But even if we look at it in that light, maybe the husband has and wife have different ideas of what the vision or assignment for the home should be, and the husband "tells the wife" or makes the final decision in what they'll do, where they'll go, how they carry a specific assignment out, ect, God still gives the wife the choice, and opportunity in that, to honor and respect the leading of someone who loves, cares for, and wants to lead her. I do think it takes lots of humility, and a different type of strength to submit to the leading of someone else, because sometimes our opinion can become our idol and something can feel like dominance or abuse because we've given it such a place in our lives that it's difficult to let someone else into that space, but that's another conversation. Great post!, I'm not yet married and I love that I'm able to learn these things now, this conversation really encourages me!
Thank you for bringing the word into discussion! If you google it, bible study tools definition includes ..."Greek military term meaning "to arrange [troop divisions] in a military fashion under the command of a leader"... in line with what Lisa is saying here 😊
Sis, I don't know what type of situation you're in, but I think we could all agree that submission has nothing to do with abuse! God created you fearfully and wonderfully in His image to be loved and treasured, not treated like trash. I hope you find a safe place and get the help you need.🙌❤️💪

So good!!!

I love this because submission gets so twisted by unholy men.
Very true 👍🏻
...who believe in unholy patriarchy.
True
EXACTLY!!!!😂
Yes
This was my question to Jesus yesterday 🙏. God answers in mysterious ways 🙏
It was mine today too. God is good 🙏🏻
Myles Munroe said, if the husband doesn't have a vision as the wife you get frustrated, it's true if the head doesn't know where it's going...😒

I’m reading a book on submission. The timing is amazing. Thank you, Jesus.
Excellent
🔥🔥❤️❤️
Can we have this submission discussion in the workplace especially with a toxic boss Ms Lisa
But how does the origin word in Greek "hupotasso" fit in?. It doesn't contradict obeying God, but it's about love.

Yeah submission but when do you draw the line? Do you let him beat your ass? Are we supposed to be submitting to an abusive man?

Abuse has nothing to do with submission. Abuse should never be tolerated.
Do you, girlfriend 👍🏿
Amen
