Women! Don"t Back Away from this | Voddie Baucham

[@Sammysgrl22]

A rarely spoken secret about being a submissive wife is that there is freedom in it. The world says it’s bondage, but it’s actually freedom. When my husband is in is God given role as head of our household that takes the burden off of me. That role wasn’t meant for me, and I wasn’t meant to carry that weight.
Also, someone always has to be in charge. That’s just how things work.
Choose your husband wisely, and be free as you submit to him.
There’s ALWAYS freedom in obeying the Word of God.

[@monasoliz6972]

Praise God !! Unfortunately children are being raised by the world brainwashed from the time they enter school. The greatest gift that you can give a child is Jesus. One of the most beautiful things is a Godly man and a Godly woman. The roles have reversed unfortunately too many man children and unruly women. It was supposed to be this way from the beginning but women keep settling and picking ungodly men who can’t or won’t be the head of household. Too many that don’t want to work and let the woman work.

The problem is females always have something to say when God puts his order out there just like when eve questioned why God said don't eat from the forbidden fruit. There shouldn't be any questions the statement was plain and simple and your ability to question it is why the man was the head. To be a leader you have to be satisfied somewhere along the line and if you look at a lot of females they buy new hair, nails, eyelashes, butts and breasts then wonder why God wants man to be the head. If you can't show any dedication to God you can't be trusted.

Totally agree. Men must have a desire to submit to God first and be in a right relationship with God first. Then when the woman sees that her husband is completely and willingly submitted to God. The woman will then willingly submit to her husband. The problem is that we allow all life's ups and downs to get in the way of our original purpose. Which is to be in a right relationship with God.

[@tracyhenderson9216]

He’s a very good pastor. The point of submission is not bowing down, it’s not cowarding down, in this instance to your husband, it is showing him respect, it’s not taking over, it is letting him lead, which is all cool for me and probably mostly other women. What is needed is more men of leadership to stand up and be strong and lead enough to support the wife, child or children, and be involved church and community. We as women are doing a great job. We’re doing the best we can but we also need our men to stand up, and help us. Then things will start to change. Blessed be❤

To everyone talking about submitting to a carnal Christian or an unbeliever in everything... Rethink and apply it to this situation ; a Muslim wife who becomes a believer, a pagan wife who converts to christianity, the devout wife of a Christian man who backslides in the faith.
“By saying you have no excuse but to submit in everything” Aren't you implying, “Though you are/ have become born again but you shouldn't stay born again because you are supposed submit to your husband's religion and beliefs”.
I think we need to strike a balance here. Paul in 1 Corinthians 7
13 says, “And if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him."
...
15. But if the unbelieving partner [actually] leaves, let him do so; in such [cases the remaining] brother or sister is not morally bound. But God has called us to peace.
It clearly states if the unbelieving partner (male or female) agrees to go on living with you (knowing that you are now born again and would not consent to doing certain things that the former belief mandates them to do which does not allign to the christian faith) then you must not divorce or leave that partner.
Every wife should submit to her husband believer or not but should not compromise her submission to Christ in the process.

I love Jesus. This DOES NOT mean that this scripture is to be weaponized to dominate or control the wife as if she can't think for herself , have a different opinion, and you are brow beaten or intimidated. I don’t hate the patriarchy. THE MAN MUST SUBMIT TO THAT SAME ORDER. When you talk down to your wife with verbal abusive words, ultimatums, then what are wives submitting to? MEN are to love their wives as CHRIST LOVE THE CHURCH. You can't claim to be a man of God and say you are, in name only but not by action. Being a good provider doesn't make you a Good (God) husband. You don't tell your wife you love her and call her out of her name and demand to be treated as a man of God. The husband , the covering, your headship as the husband FOLLOW Christ.
Women are dying every day in attempting to , and desiring to and wanting to submit themselves to this order of doing things, mostly because they love Jesus, and they truly want to be 'obedient ' so they truly become torn.
This is not about superiority. He is NOT TO BE AN OPPRESSOR.
SO , if the natural husband won't or don’t cover you, then Jesus will.
I enjoy Pastor Voodie's teaching, but on this issue; this scripture has been widely weaponized; women are threatened that they will be abandoned or physical harm and women find themselves in abusive, narcissistic relationships, slowly dying on the inside.

But they also don’t know how to love their wife which is also stated by Yeshua. The Creator shows his love for us. Man, does not. But then men want love and submission. We were not created to bear the burden of submission to men who cannot love us the way Yeshua loved the church. I don’t protest against submission. But a man should not only want to lead.

I know my role and I am to submit to my husband. Please tell me a scripture where we need to take our husband’s last name. It’s a common practice in the USA but not seen traditionally elsewhere. I’m all for having knowledge and understanding so please respond kindly. I’m humbly asking.

[@mimigutierrez4327]

It’s God order and who are we to withstand God?

[@vernitaporter7864]

There is a reason. Some men are beast

[@encouragingword1172]

Yes, and those beasts deserve no honor because they stood before God and made promises they had no intention of keeping and probably only married to get regular sex. An honorable woman needs an honorable man. I am tired of hearing all these messages preachers preach about submission of women but never tell about stats of men abusing their wives and kids while sitting on the church bench week after week. If men are to be the leaders then let them lead by example in love, kindness and dedication to God. Sadly, that actually rarely happens.

[@kthulhukif]

Then don't marry those men.

[@rachelfavella605]

My counselor is telling me to allow my husband to watch porn. That I need to have a secure attachment not an attachment of anxiety where I'm forcing him to behave. ...I don't know how to balance where it's my biblical duty that his body is mine and submit to him (he thinks porn is fine)...while recognizing that his sin is his sin. The book of 1st Peter, where submit to my husband. And obey the Lord myself.
What do I do?

[@user-iz8np3vv4i]

There is no hierarchy in marriage. I have one or more posts
on this subject rachel.

[@user-js2sp3in2o]

Sounds like you need a different counselor, one who is a true follower of Jesus and bases her feedback to you on the Bible 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@user-jx4gh9cl2b]

That's not always true. There are women who are doctors and lawyers, business under their maiden, that's why. You need to stop saying someone is mad. Maybe you are mad at their success.

[@kathykaura7219]

My niece did this. lol

[@Georgie1660]

Amen, if women would follow the Bible, stay home, raise the children and let the husband earn “and” lead. The world would be a much better place.
When women entered the work force, divorce escalated, children became more
Emboldened to misbehave.
Men need to love their wives like Christ loves the church.
Men, that’s a good thing, it makes your wife more cuddly and loving toward you.
Women need to respect their husbands and that’s a good thing! It makes a man more loving and cuddly toward you.
People are just too self centered. They refuse to die to self and live for the Lord.

[@alicel3992]

Georgie...
How is a woman to take care of her children if her police officer husband or military husband killed in the line of duty?
Another thing, a stay at home wife doesn't always get the best of her husband, many
housewives/homemakers are taken for granted.
I would not be a stay at home wife bc I've seen marriages, after 20 or more years broken up bc the husband is so interested in that young thing. Even in the BIBLE, it talks about men being interested in the wives of their youths.
No thanks, I will work even if it is part time, so if the unthinkable: death, separation or divorce happen I won't end up on the street.
We live in a fallen world, bad things happen😢

[@kimhinton4271]

According to the Apostle Paul. But what did God say....

[@2sittingbulls]

Civil marriage should be abolished.

[@GraceAlone50]

All the women arguing that men aren't submitting to God, so wives dont submit, what do you do with Peter's call for wives to submit to unbelieving husbands?

[@user-iz8np3vv4i]

I have a post on this subject. Men and women
are equal in God's sight. That doesn't change after
the two are married to each other.

[@terrywells-welch9080]

I added my husband's name. Tired of hearing preaching on what wives do , but don't teach scriptures for what men are to do.paleeeez teach men what Jesus says. Don't need man name...need the man mature

[@lindaleelaw5277]

I neither submit nor obey. Perhap why i prefer being single with no regrets .

[@LLBlackhawk-mc3sq]

What about men who won't lead?

[@sharontouchstone7400]

So what happens when the man, head of the wife and entire household, does not follow the teachings of Christ? What happens when the woman who marries a man whom she was lead to believe was a Bible believer, turns out, to not want to lead, biblically? What is the woman supposed to do? Keep submitting and keep following?
Men are lying their way into marriage with Christ believing women. Preach on that, cuase it has been predominant in the past few decades. Our young women who were taught biblically cannot find God fearing, bible believing, MEN any longer. The women have to lead( raising of children, providing for the household, spiritual leadership……etc). Men have forsaken their biblical role and the women have to step up and take on the men’s role in the family, for their and their children’s sake.
Preach on this.

[@karinteeples9715]

Yes. Biblically the wife is still commanded to submit to her husband. It may look unfair, but the wife trusting God thru her obedience will be rewarded for her godly actions. This was me. Our marriage was redeemed and healed! If the woman is a genuine Jesus Follower, she will choose to obey Gods Word regardless of her circumstances in her marriage and life.

[@davidapotts5300]

Hmph. You know what happens. Most women stay married to the man out of what has been touted as godly obedience. That is why it is so important to know the word and have a direct relationship with the Lord through the gift of the holy Spirit. I'm 46 and never married because I never met a man as steadfast and dependable as the Lord and my own earthly father. I STILL have my father's last name because I honor him and when I do meet a true man of God I'll add his name to that to honor him as well. But until that happens, I will stay joyful, at peace, in my own home, raising my kids with the Lord's help. Even in marriage, God never intended for a woman to be a doormat. So, ladies, please pick yourselves up off the floor.

[@karinteeples9715]

@@davidapotts5300 well, I’m no door mat. I’m filled with Holy Spirit 🔥, and have been married for 33 years now. So?🥳

[@RoselleJROTC]

1 Peter 3:1" Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that if any obey not the Word, they also may be won without the word by the conduct of their wives". Just giving you a scripture to answer your original question of what happens when your husband does not follow the teachings of Christ. I do not condone abuse, but this scripture answers your question.

[@Countrygirl8019]

But… love your wife as you love yourself! some take the scripture (meaning men.) As authority to treat a woman however they want to but it is totally against what it’s talking about. Ephesians 5:33
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

[@thetoughgroup]

"Some, some, some, but what about"... women like you always default to the exceptions but fail to realize that exceptions PROVE the rule. Choose a man, no, marry a man who is led by God. Problem solved! See how easy that is? Take accountability for your life and your actions. Be blessed.

[@elizabethbolabolaji3285]

Some countries and culture do NOT take the husband's name after marriage. It has nothing to do with submission. And there should be emphasis on husbands LOVING their wives as Christ loves the Church. We need a balanced sermon sir. Blessings.

[@thetoughgroup]

More of the Jezebel spirit. Pray for deliverance from that rebellious spirit. Be blessed.
