1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,480
This is the ladies day.

2
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,440
We've started us, really started walking through what biblical manhood and biblical womanhood

3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,760
is.

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,260
Through this process we will also be hitting other topics because everything that we'll

5
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:33,320
be preaching on, every letter doesn't really just deal with just manhood and womanhood,

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,240
but this is good for all Christians.

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,000
I want us to read 1 Timothy chapter 2.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,600
So let me get there.

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,400
1 Timothy chapter 2 deals with two particular issues.

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,800
One is the issue of the importance of prayer and especially men praying.

11
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,440
So they'll get a little bit of challenge.

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,520
And then we start to really deal with the importance of complementarianism.

13
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,960
So before we get started let's pray.

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,720
Father I want to thank you that you are good, you are faithful, you are true.

15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,120
We thank you that your word is living and active.

16
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,300
Lord that your word is perfect.

17
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:21,200
We thank you that through divine preservation you have kept your word in translation for

18
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,760
us and that we can fully depend on your word.

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,840
And Lord that your word gives, has everything for life and godliness for us.

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560
So Lord we ask that you would be honored and glorified today.

21
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,680
I pray that the full counsel of your word is spoken and taught and that we have prepared

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,600
your hearts to rightly divide, prepared our hearts to rightly divide it and that you would

23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,480
be honored and glorified in every way in Jesus name, amen.

24
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,940
First of all then I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be

25
00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:03,280
made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions.

26
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,800
That we may lead a peaceful and quiet life godly and dignified in every way.

27
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,440
This is good and it is pleasing in the sight of God our savior who desires all people to

28
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,320
be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

29
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:27,120
For there is one God, there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

30
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,560
who gave himself as a ransom for all which is the testimony given at the proper time.

31
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,720
For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle.

32
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,280
I am telling the truth.

33
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,840
I am not lying.

34
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
A teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

35
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:54,000
I desire then that in every place the men should pray lifting holy hands without anger

36
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,360
or quarreling and likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel

37
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:09,480
with modesty and self-control not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but

38
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,120
with what is proper for a woman who professes godliness with good works.

39
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,240
That a woman learn quietly with all submission.

40
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,880
I do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man rather she is to remain

41
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:31,320
quiet for Adam was born first than Eve and Eve was not deceived but the woman was deceived

42
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:38,880
and became a transgressor yet she will be saved through childbearing if they continue

43
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,080
in faith and love and holiness and self-control.

44
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,240
What a controversial scripture.

45
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Not controversial to god.

46
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,440
You are like oh pastor you are starting off on a really bad note right now among the women.

47
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Actually when we get through this you are going to be like wow.

48
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Actually that is pretty amazing and that is the point.

49
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,760
This is not god like beating the women over the head like submit.

50
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,720
This is not that.

51
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,120
So before we get started we need to go through verses 1 through 8 and I am going to give

52
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,520
you some clear concise words so that you understand what some of these words mean.

53
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:26,200
I already taught on this so if you get a chance you can always go to I think it was July 4th

54
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,400
message last year either way.

55
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800
First thing I want to give you is god commands this is the principle.

56
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,280
God commands all his people to pray especially men to set the example of a dependent and

57
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,760
surrendered life.

58
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:50,640
Especially men or to set the example of a dependent and surrendered life to god.

59
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,160
Dependent upon god and surrendered holy to him.

60
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,180
Praying at all times in the spirit with all prayer and supplication to that end keep alert

61
00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:05,360
with all perseverance making supplication for all the saints.

62
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Ephesians 6.18 why is it important to pray?

63
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,080
That's another scripture to support what Paul is saying to Timothy.

64
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,840
Rejoice always pray without ceasing.

65
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:24,520
Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of god in Christ Jesus for you.

66
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,200
First Thessalonians 5.16-18.

67
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,760
There is a necessity and it's a command.

68
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,040
So what does god say here to Timothy in chapter 2 verse 1-8.

69
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:46,560
First of all then I urge I call I summon you Timothy that's what he's saying here.

70
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,280
I urge I call I summon that supplications.

71
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:57,640
Supplications is seeking or asking of needs very important.

72
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Seeking or asking of needs.

73
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:08,560
So when you are praying are you are you we are summoned to seek and ask of needs very

74
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,880
important.

75
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,160
So when we're looking at supplications we're looking at the issue of seeking and asking

76
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,880
of needs.

77
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Second the third is second is prayers.

78
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,920
Prayer is an address set apart to god.

79
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,400
So when you go before him you are setting apart an address you are having that statement

80
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,360
that you want to share that's set apart to him.

81
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,560
So when we pray Jesus taught the disciples to pray he said teach us to pray.

82
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:46,240
He says when you pray pray like this our father who is in heaven holy is your name.

83
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:52,480
That is a that is a particular address that is set apart to god.

84
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:59,560
He there is a intentionality of expressing the greatness and the glory and the power

85
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,840
and the might to him.

86
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:02,840
Okay.

87
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,280
That's what it means by prayers.

88
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:10,020
So when you're when you're giving supplication you're asking and seeking the needs of others

89
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:16,560
and yourself when you're praying you are giving god what is rightfully his.

90
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,720
Intercessions is the third word here.

91
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,120
Intercessions means falling in with coming together with or agreeing with.

92
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Who are you falling in with coming together with or agreeing with.

93
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,400
You're agreeing with his word.

94
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,720
So if you ever go to a church and you're like I agree with you in Jesus name agree with

95
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480
what.

96
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Can you tell me what I need to agree with.

97
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Well I agree that you're going to be healed in Jesus name.

98
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Give me a Bible verse.

99
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Give me a Bible verse.

100
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Tell me what am I agreeing with what healing.

101
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,080
So there is an important thing that we need to understand.

102
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,360
We're not agreeing with each other just to agree.

103
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,280
People in government agree all the time but it never there's a lot of times they don't

104
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,200
get things right.

105
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Agreeing with you doesn't mean it's right.

106
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,440
The issue of intercession is I am coming and I'm agreeing according to the word of God

107
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,280
what is best for you and best for others.

108
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360
It's what God's word says.

109
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:26,320
I am falling in line with God's word and I am agreeing with with you and with him that

110
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,400
he is right.

111
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,400
That's what this means.

112
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,960
So when you make an intercession you're agreeing on behalf of God and them that God is right.

113
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,760
And then he says and thanksgivings.

114
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Well that's pretty simple.

115
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Give thanks.

116
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,480
So if we are called and summoned to God to seek and ask needs to give God what he's due

117
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:54,480
to him in our address to him if we are coming together with him and with others agreeing

118
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,120
with his word then you can say give thanks.

119
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:05,160
A perfect example of that whether Cliff even realized it or not is what Cliff said.

120
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:12,880
And we can agree that God will be with us in our suffering.

121
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,520
He promises that.

122
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,560
Now that's agreeing with the promise.

123
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,540
Now these things intercessions supplication prayer intercessions and thanksgiving be made

124
00:09:23,540 --> 00:09:32,520
for all people for every people right for kings and all who are in high positions that

125
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:39,760
we may lead that word lead means live a peaceful this word peaceful is tranquil meaning that

126
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,920
I am I am alone in a quiet place.

127
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,480
I don't have I don't have no worries no distractions.

128
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,920
That is the type of peaceful lives that God is calling us to and quiet.

129
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,920
All right.

130
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,200
Hey hey hey Sue chaos.

131
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:07,960
Hey Sue chaos meaning immovable in or to hold or to have hold of Christ that in my quiet

132
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,320
I am holding on to Jesus.

133
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,000
When you when you are in a storm Christ is your anchor.

134
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,640
Okay.

135
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:26,200
This life godly and dignified in every way this this type of life that we should live

136
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,760
should be godly and dignified in every way if we are living according to these truths.

137
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Now here we go.

138
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,180
This is good.

139
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:43,220
It is excellent precious useful commendable and it is pleasing accepted acceptable and

140
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:47,180
agreeable in the sight of God our savior.

141
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:52,160
This is what God wants for you and it is his will for you.

142
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,080
That's what this means.

143
00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Who God who desires that all people be saved.

144
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,900
Now here's the kicker who desires to will to resolve to delight or have pleasure that

145
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:19,460
all this word all interesting enough means individually the whole person meaning me as

146
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:32,480
the entire me and collectively some of all types that puts a monkey wrench and stuff

147
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:42,720
because that word collectively means some not everyone of everywhere and all places

148
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,160
but not everyone everywhere in all places.

149
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,600
God desires that some would be saved.

150
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,700
Question is who are the some.

151
00:11:55,700 --> 00:12:04,320
Now that being said let's keep reading this word saved means to be transport into Christ.

152
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:12,360
This is sozo is the word here save means to transport into Christ not just be saved from

153
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:23,760
calamity being put into Christ OK and we are put into Christ and to come Eric oh my my

154
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:33,800
favorite word it sounds so cool Eric my to come to the knowledge or the precise correct

155
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:41,020
knowledge is the word there in its in the translation of the truth what truth the gospel

156
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:48,000
truth the truth of God's word there is one truth there is no such thing as I have my

157
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,320
truth you have your truth while your truth is going to kill you because it ain't true.

158
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Isn't that interesting.

159
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
So die in your truth.

160
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:08,440
OK now for there is one God here's the truth one God there is one mediator between God

161
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:17,400
and man the man Christ Jesus one savior one God one mediator one faith one baptism you

162
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,600
can find that in Ephesians.

163
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:31,760
OK now who gave himself as a ransom for all same word the whole individual or the ransom

164
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:41,360
for all of some types which is the testimony this word testimonies gospel given at the

165
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,360
proper time.

166
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,560
In other words Christ came at the proper time at the exact moment he was supposed to come

167
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,480
and he died at the exact moment when he was supposed to die and he resurrected at the

168
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:58,240
exact exact moment he was supposed to resurrect that was that was be foundationally established

169
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,600
before the foundation of the world.

170
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,600
That was going to happen.

171
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,080
He was crucified before the foundation of the world.

172
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:16,320
Now for this I was appointed what was he appointed to this word appointed is this idea that he

173
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,520
was called to be a preacher and apostle.

174
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:26,480
God has personally picked and chosen Paul to be the preacher and the apostle and the

175
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:34,360
teacher to the Gentiles now this this term given at the proper time I want to give a

176
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,160
clarification this term given at the proper time which is the testimony the gospel given

177
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:48,400
at the proper time this means belonging to another one's property one's family in due

178
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,400
season.

179
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,960
In other words Christ came and died for his family in due season.

180
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,440
That's what that means.

181
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:02,840
Now Paul says that he's not lying about any of this he's telling the truth and that he

182
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,520
is a teacher to the Gentiles.

183
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Then he turns around and he says this really interesting statement in verse eight I desire

184
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:24,800
I have you know and will deliberately have purpose then that in every place every space

185
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,940
marked off is what that means the men right.

186
00:15:30,940 --> 00:15:34,160
This is a near meaning a male the men.

187
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,840
This is not mankind.

188
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:46,600
This is the men men should pray lifting up or lifting holy hands without anger without

189
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,120
wrath without quarreling without disputing or arguing what is true.

190
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Do we do that?

191
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:03,240
You notice he before he goes and has a conversation about the women he gives you one responsibility

192
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:09,400
men let them see you be surrendered.

193
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:15,720
In other words holy hands is saying God I have nothing to hide.

194
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:23,240
I'm here before you totally dependent and surrendered to you because you alone are God.

195
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,840
You that's what that means.

196
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Not men of pride.

197
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:38,760
We talked about this couple weeks ago means to act like a man.

198
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:45,320
It's okay to be vulnerable in front of your family before the holy God because he already

199
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240
knows all your junk.

200
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,320
That's what this means.

201
00:16:51,320 --> 00:17:00,760
So I desire that in every way the men should pray lifting up holy hands without anger and

202
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:10,540
quarreling I want to thank our elder Lanny Lewis because he is a man of God.

203
00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:13,980
He leads people in prayer.

204
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:17,960
He understands the importance of this.

205
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:24,600
Pray thank you men when you pray.

206
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:30,540
That being said Psalm 63 verse 4 says so I will bless you as long as I live and in your

207
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:34,300
name I will lift up my hands.

208
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:42,200
Remember when you lift up holy hands before God you are proclaiming the name of God.

209
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,340
You are I am the source of all life.

210
00:17:46,340 --> 00:17:48,780
You are holy righteous and good.

211
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:53,120
There is no one like you and no one will ever be you.

212
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,840
You are eternal everlasting.

213
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,120
I need you because without you I am dead.

214
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,120
That's the idea.

215
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:09,280
Do you get my point why I'm kind of on you men.

216
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,840
Because for men it's the brokenness of pride.

217
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,920
When you lift up holy hands before God you are dependent surrendered vulnerable before

218
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,220
him willingly.

219
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:28,920
It means you're in control.

220
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,760
And then he goes on and says likewise are you ladies ready.

221
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,680
Here it is.

222
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:43,440
So as men principle number one principle principle number two really verses three three through

223
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:50,560
four I mean nine through ten sorry as men are to set the example of a dependent and

224
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:59,380
surrendered life expressed in lifting holy hands women must also live a dependent and

225
00:18:59,380 --> 00:19:05,200
surrendered life to Christ expressed in modesty.

226
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,640
It's interesting that he's he's not saying that women shouldn't pray.

227
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,160
He's saying that women should express their dependency and surrendered life to the living

228
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:24,480
God and how they show themselves in the same way a man must lift up holy hands before the

229
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480
living God.

230
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Women should show their dependency and surrenderedness to him.

231
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:40,000
Do not let your adorning be external the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry

232
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,960
or the clothing you wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with imperishable

233
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:53,160
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which in God's sight is very precious.

234
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,880
First Peter three three through four the problem with the women back then is it was literally

235
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,120
a fashion show.

236
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:09,080
Going to church or gathering together is to show hey look at my hair I got curls and I

237
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:16,640
got nice little gold jewelry in it see and they'd walk in and it's a game when their

238
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,480
heart is dirty and that's what he's dealing with here.

239
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,520
It's the same issue in Ephesus because the vast majority of the people who were running

240
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,680
the church in Ephesus were women.

241
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:34,480
The men were too lazy to step up thank God our men are not even though I'm pushing you

242
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,680
to do more and thank you for all the men who showed up this morning.

243
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Great job.

244
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Very proud of you.

245
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:50,840
That being said first Timothy two nine through ten says this likewise also then women adorn

246
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:59,640
cosmeo is the word here means to embellish with honor adorn embellish with honor themselves

247
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:06,280
in respectable cosmeos well arranged seemingly apparel.

248
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:12,720
In other words if I'm going to adorn myself as a woman God says that you should adorn

249
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:22,680
yourself in a way that brings honor not only to God but to you and bellies yourself with

250
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520
honor.

251
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,160
Be able to walk in with your head lifted high showing that you honor and love God and you

252
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:37,600
want the world to see the godliness of a pure heart.

253
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:43,160
Now it's interesting that he uses this term respectable meaning well arranged.

254
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:49,640
In other words even though I'm going to dress in a modest way it's not done in a way that's

255
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,520
just happenstance like you know I'm not going to bring any attention to myself so I just

256
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,760
go in with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or something like that.

257
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,360
Not saying you can't right.

258
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:11,360
In other words if I came in with a tuxedo and I was preaching with a tuxedo I would

259
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:17,600
be out of place that's not modest that's the point right.

260
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,440
You don't come into church when everybody's wearing khakis and casual clothes with your

261
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,840
Louis Vuitton.

262
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:34,800
That's what that means right that you that you walk in respectable with honor not purpose

263
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:45,360
purposing to be seen and so he says with modesty I dose I dose or I don't say a sense of shame

264
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:48,360
out of all in reverence.

265
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:54,080
Women have you ever thought that modesty is this understanding that I have a sense of

266
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,920
shame out of all in reverence.

267
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,400
What's it mean to have a sense of shame out of all in reverence.

268
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:09,040
That I out of all in reverence to God have a sense that I am not the most important person

269
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,440
walking in the door.

270
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,360
That's what that means.

271
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:21,960
As a matter of fact if the husband is doing his job then he is edifying and lifting you

272
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960
all you need.

273
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960
That should be enough.

274
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:40,280
Now the term of self and self control sofras une sofras une means soundness of mind sober

275
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,560
minded or sanity.

276
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,640
Now why would he use this term.

277
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,760
I'm kind of scared right now I'm kind of terrified.

278
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,720
John's like be a man.

279
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800
What's it mean to be self controlled as a woman.

280
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,840
Why does God even tell the older women to teach the younger women to be self controlled

281
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,280
and temperate.

282
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,720
Why is this the same word.

283
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:19,160
Why is God saying to you as women be soundness of mind sober minded and sanity.

284
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,520
Because God has created you uniquely to be emotional.

285
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Don't be offended.

286
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,360
It's true.

287
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,520
You're created with emotion.

288
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,560
You're created in a way that you can be vulnerable emotionally.

289
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:44,120
But sometimes well I'll say many times your emotion dominates you.

290
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:45,400
It rules you.

291
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,520
Why.

292
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,120
Because of the sinful broken nature.

293
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:55,760
The very thing that God intended for you to use to be tender and gentle and compassionate

294
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:01,920
and empathetic and immediately run to the pain and the need of the child or the needs

295
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,760
of your husband.

296
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,240
Sin has corrupted that.

297
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,440
And as a result of that corrupted emotion it gets out of control.

298
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,880
You lose your mind.

299
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,240
You aren't thinking soberly.

300
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,040
You seem like you're not being sane.

301
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,240
That's what the word says here.

302
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:31,200
And sometimes that self control has a tendency because I am so wanting to be wanted.

303
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,760
I'm so wanting to be recognized.

304
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,400
I'm so wanting to be needed that I need to do something to bring attention to myself.

305
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:45,880
Why do you think society keeps feeding you the lie that you are broken.

306
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,760
That you need to be like that woman.

307
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:56,240
Because they are feeding your inability to be self controlled.

308
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:04,400
And what he says here is not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire.

309
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,600
But with what is proper for a woman who professes godliness.

310
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Reverence toward God with good works.

311
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,560
You notice that.

312
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:20,540
So there's several ways that our emotions have a tendency to dominate and control.

313
00:26:20,540 --> 00:26:23,680
Either it dominates and controls because I'm so worried about me.

314
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,600
I need this procedure.

315
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:33,720
I need this clothing or I need this because I want to make sure I'm good enough.

316
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,400
And God says you're already good enough.

317
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,200
If you belong to him, that's all you need.

318
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,440
What more do you need?

319
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:58,160
And so we find our sober mindedness in learning self control.

320
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:06,460
In learning that in Christ his word can wash me and cleanse me and I can know his promises

321
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:18,520
are true for me and I am what he says I am as his daughter.

322
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:30,920
Now the beauty of every girl and woman is a heart committed to complimenting and partnering

323
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,520
for the edification of the family and the church.

324
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,280
I want you to hear that.

325
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:43,200
The beauty of every girl and woman is a heart committed to complimenting and partnering

326
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:49,880
for the edification of the family and the church being lived out according to the role

327
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,600
that God has assigned.

328
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Your role is not meaningless.

329
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
It is necessary.

330
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Not only for the edification of the family and the church but for the proclamation of

331
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,860
the gospel to the community in which you live.

332
00:28:09,860 --> 00:28:15,560
But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty

333
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,120
of a gentle and quiet spirit which in God's sight is very precious.

334
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:27,000
For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves by submitting

335
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
to their own husbands, 1 Peter 3, 4 through 5.

336
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,040
And I know as soon as I said that word submitting the air went out of the balloon.

337
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,040
Here we go again.

338
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,120
This is another male chauvinist.

339
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Actually I'm on your side so you're going to be okay.

340
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,760
So here is what he says.

341
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,240
Understanding this, this is very important.

342
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:07,540
This idea of submission is the power and influence to proclaim to those around you that I am

343
00:29:07,540 --> 00:29:10,560
in God's hands.

344
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,800
I believe him.

345
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,160
And I'll explain where this battle comes from within the heart of the woman in Genesis 3

346
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,160
in a minute.

347
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,440
But look what it says.

348
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Let a woman learn quietly.

349
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640
Let a woman learn in stillness.

350
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120
In other words it's not a woman sitting there shutting up.

351
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:38,080
It's not the term in the understanding of keeping your mouth shut.

352
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:46,960
It's the term to learn in stillness not a meddler.

353
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,880
Not meaning mind your own business.

354
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:52,880
Mind your own business.

355
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,640
Isn't that interesting?

356
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,440
Because the woman would go to church and guess what they would do?

357
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:08,400
Get together and they're in church and the men are like thank you Lord.

358
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,520
I hope.

359
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,240
And they're praying and the women are like do you know what happened the other day?

360
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,600
Girl let me tell you.

361
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,920
And then all of a sudden guess what happens?

362
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,140
Slander gossip.

363
00:30:22,140 --> 00:30:24,040
That's not beautiful.

364
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,100
That's not modest.

365
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,560
But that's what he means here.

366
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,800
The woman should learn quietly.

367
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:36,640
The woman should learn in the stillness not meddler with each other.

368
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,840
Not getting in each other's business while you're learning.

369
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,040
It's not that women can't ask a question.

370
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,540
It's that women get busy talking about stuff they don't need to be talking about.

371
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:53,360
During the time it's most important for them to grow.

372
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Isn't that interesting?

373
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,200
I can see that because when they would go to the temple where would the women be?

374
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,960
In the women's court.

375
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Not with the men.

376
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And they'd be talking.

377
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,360
And the pastor would be like hey!

378
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,360
Save that for later.

379
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Matter of fact don't do it at all.

380
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,740
So women should learn quietly with all submissiveness.

381
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:27,240
This word submissiveness means to arrange oneself act of subjecting.

382
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Notice it says that you need to arrange yourself.

383
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:37,280
It's not the man's job men to remind your wife to be submissive.

384
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,240
As a matter of fact don't say it at all.

385
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Just shut up.

386
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Because it really makes you look really bad.

387
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,760
And your wife doesn't want to be told to be submissive because it comes off arrogant

388
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,600
and disrespectful.

389
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,200
It's God's job to tell them to be submissive.

390
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Your job is to lead.

391
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Don't tell your wife to say be submissive.

392
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,320
Let God do that.

393
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,320
The preacher do that.

394
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,400
A woman do that.

395
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,200
Tell each other that.

396
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,360
But I'm not going to tell my wife that she needs to be submissive.

397
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,680
One.

398
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,400
My wife's Hispanic.

399
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,320
And art knows what happens when you tell a Hispanic wife to be quiet.

400
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,160
Doesn't work.

401
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,720
I know bro.

402
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,120
And if you're Italian you also know.

403
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,520
German.

404
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,680
Pennsylvania Dutch.

405
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,640
No it's everybody.

406
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:46,680
So when we go and we say you as a woman should arrange yourself and put yourself in the act

407
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,840
of subjection.

408
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:55,720
I am willing to come before you in humility.

409
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,240
I'm willing to bend the knee.

410
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Not worship.

411
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,920
In other words I'm willing not to have my way.

412
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,400
I'm willing to trust God in you.

413
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,480
And what you're really saying is God I trust you.

414
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,060
That's what submissiveness means here.

415
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:15,440
If you're not submissive you don't really trust God.

416
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Now this does not mean that if your husband is beating you that you should be submissive.

417
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,880
That's not what this means.

418
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:27,120
If your husband is being verbally abusive physically abusive emotionally abusive or

419
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,400
spiritually abusive that does not mean that you submit to that trash.

420
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,800
That's not submissive.

421
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,940
That's that's dumb.

422
00:33:36,940 --> 00:33:39,600
Just being honest that's not smart.

423
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Right.

424
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680
When you give yourself over to being beaten.

425
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,240
That's not a good thing.

426
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,080
That's common sense.

427
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Right.

428
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,640
But that's hard sometimes when you're under that type of abuse.

429
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,200
It's difficult.

430
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,840
But that's where God has given you others that can come alongside you and help gird

431
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,560
you strengthen you strengthen your knees get you out.

432
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,160
There is always a way out.

433
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,960
But that's not submissiveness.

434
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,520
Submissiveness is the willingness to trust God that what he says is true because God

435
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,800
has my man.

436
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:24,880
Notice he also says in verse 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority

437
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,400
over a man.

438
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:32,640
The word here is to teach a man or have dominion over a man.

439
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,200
Rather she is to remain quiet.

440
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:42,760
She needs to remain a woman who is being submissive to God.

441
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:50,880
I mean it's the same word quietness stillness not a meddler minding your own business.

442
00:34:50,880 --> 00:35:00,600
Women are not to teach nor exercise dominion over men but be quiet stillness not a meddler

443
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,820
minding your own business.

444
00:35:01,820 --> 00:35:05,400
But why does God use this terminology here.

445
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:14,920
Well if you go to Genesis let me show you what Paul's talking about here.

446
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Genesis chapter 3 you can turn there.

447
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Kids are having fun downstairs.

448
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Let's go.

449
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,280
High energy.

450
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,800
So here's what happens.

451
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,840
Genesis 3.

452
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,820
Now I want you to pay attention to something here.

453
00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:46,880
Now the serpent was more crafty than the other beasts of the field that the Lord God had

454
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,880
made.

455
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:53,600
He said to the woman did God actually say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden

456
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:59,080
the woman said to the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden but God

457
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,920
said you shall not eat of the fruit of the trees that is in the midst of the garden nor

458
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,320
shall you touch it lest you die.

459
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,220
What was problem number one.

460
00:36:09,220 --> 00:36:11,480
She wasn't minding her own business.

461
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:17,480
Did she have business talking to that creature.

462
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:26,420
Especially when the creature came to her and said did God really say that.

463
00:36:26,420 --> 00:36:31,440
Now you see why God says concerning the woman.

464
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,520
We got to fix this.

465
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,400
Okay.

466
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,260
Now let's keep reading.

467
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:41,560
But God said you shall not eat the tree in the midst of the garden.

468
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,640
Shall you touch it lest you die.

469
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,640
He didn't say if you touch it.

470
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,400
He said if you eat it.

471
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,600
But the serpent said to the woman you will not surely die for God knows that when you

472
00:36:52,600 --> 00:37:00,640
eat of it your eyes will be open and you will be like God knowing good and evil.

473
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,960
So the when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that was a delight to the

474
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:11,560
eyes and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise she took its fruit and ate and

475
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:21,560
she also gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate.

476
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,120
Here's what it means.

477
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,560
Back to Timothy verse 11 through 12.

478
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:35,000
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over man rather she is to remain

479
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640
quiet why.

480
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:42,240
Because she was not minding her business.

481
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:47,820
And as a result of her not minding her business something happened.

482
00:37:47,820 --> 00:37:55,160
And as a result of her not being willing to go to her husband and say yeah this serpent

483
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,920
talking to me and he's saying I can eat.

484
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,400
What do you say.

485
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,540
You ever notice that's not even mentioned there either.

486
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:11,240
Because what ends up happening in many cases is you'll have a preacher go the man should

487
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:13,640
have stopped her.

488
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,600
First of all she is bone in my bone flesh in my flesh.

489
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,600
She knows me.

490
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:25,640
I don't know her everything I know she knows or does she.

491
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,040
She's intelligent.

492
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,720
She's intelligent enough to have a conversation.

493
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:34,680
She's intelligent enough to say God said I shouldn't touch it.

494
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:40,680
Come on women aren't stupid.

495
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:47,760
Some of the most most intelligent creatures on the planet are women regardless of what

496
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,920
you think about Steve Jobs.

497
00:38:53,920 --> 00:39:02,600
When a woman can run a house take care of eight kids.

498
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,440
Okay that's intelligence.

499
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,240
I'm not going to play the game with this.

500
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:12,840
I'm just being honest what was her problem.

501
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,300
She didn't submit.

502
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:20,800
She didn't arrange herself willingly under her husband say hey this isn't supposed to

503
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,880
be happening is it.

504
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,100
And where did he where did he fail.

505
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,760
He didn't open his mouth.

506
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,800
They're both wrong and we're going to see that in a minute.

507
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:40,680
Why are women commanded by God to be still not meddling willingly place themselves in

508
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:46,480
the role assigned not to teach nor have dominion over a man.

509
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,160
Why is God saying this.

510
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:56,960
Women are designed to compliment and partner with their husband not to be independent but

511
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,720
to be with them.

512
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:02,920
She was independent.

513
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,000
That's the problem here.

514
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,120
You aren't created to be by yourself.

515
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,160
I wasn't created to be by myself if I was created to be by myself.

516
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:22,960
Why would God say in chapter two the Lord said it is not good that man should be alone.

517
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,840
I will make him a helper fit for him.

518
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,040
We aren't meant to be independent.

519
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:37,360
We are meant to be dependent together upon him together.

520
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,360
That's the point.

521
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,400
You aren't meant to live life alone.

522
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:49,840
Now then the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone but I will make him

523
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,600
a helper.

524
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,360
The word helper is one who will work with partner compliment.

525
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,080
This word fit is interesting.

526
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:07,120
This word fit means one who is before me in my face.

527
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440
Trust me I do something stupid.

528
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,440
My wife is in my face.

529
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:21,080
No I'm not kidding.

530
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,080
That's good.

531
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,600
That's so good.

532
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:30,400
First Timothy 2 13-15 this is what it says for Adam was formed first then Eve.

533
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:37,240
So the first reason why women are to be subjected to their husbands is because it's the order

534
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:39,240
of things.

535
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:40,800
God did it that way.

536
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,600
You don't have to like it.

537
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,400
He doesn't care if you don't like it.

538
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,720
He says this is the way it is.

539
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:50,400
So if you know it's the way it is and this is the way God says it's going to be when

540
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,800
you fight against God you're fighting against the gold.

541
00:41:53,800 --> 00:42:05,360
So all of this feminine stuff has taken away your influence and power.

542
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,020
To be independent makes you weak as women.

543
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:12,120
You want strength?

544
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,880
Partner compliment your husband.

545
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,640
Now don't worry we're going to get into the marriage stuff eventually and then men get

546
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,440
really wrecked.

547
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,140
This is exciting.

548
00:42:25,140 --> 00:42:28,240
So for Adam was formed first then Eve this is the order of things.

549
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:32,840
God has set things in an order and Adam was not deceived but the woman was deceived.

550
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Why?

551
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,840
Because she was meddling.

552
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,160
She couldn't mind her own business.

553
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,160
That's what it means.

554
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,580
The word deceived here means to deceive or beguile with a thing.

555
00:42:42,580 --> 00:42:47,120
He gave it he was like yo check this out.

556
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,720
Now think about this ladies.

557
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,520
He stuck a fruit in front of your face.

558
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,960
Not you personally but Eve's face and said you can be just like God.

559
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Man it looks good.

560
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,300
Oh boy.

561
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:07,240
And then God is everything you ever need in life and the source of all living.

562
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:11,920
Like this is going to give you something that God can't.

563
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:12,920
That's what meddling does.

564
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,360
That's what not minding your own business means.

565
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,960
You're too wrapped up with everything else around the world.

566
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,000
Now here we go.

567
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,160
Adam was not deceived but the woman was deceived.

568
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:28,320
She was beguiled and became a transgressor the scripture says.

569
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:35,680
This word transgressor means to go over to disregard the wrongdoing even out of ignorance.

570
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,840
She did wrong even when she was ignorant.

571
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,880
So in other words there is no excuse.

572
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:52,080
She disregarded what God said and she disregarded her husband who was with her.

573
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,060
Regardless of his weakness yet she will be saved.

574
00:43:57,060 --> 00:44:02,280
Now what's interesting about this is some pastors skip over this and I'm not going to

575
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:03,280
do it.

576
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,660
So this isn't about you're going to you're going to go to heaven because you're having

577
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:06,660
babies.

578
00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:09,160
So you want to have babies go for it.

579
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,400
But that's not going to get you to heaven any faster.

580
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,400
Okay.

581
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,400
That's not what this means.

582
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:20,480
What this means in the word save means to be well and behold yet she will be well.

583
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:26,340
She will be whole as a mother.

584
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:37,580
A woman finds her identity and being and how God created her to be a mother procreate.

585
00:44:37,580 --> 00:44:43,400
You are given a gift that no man will ever experience.

586
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,480
You birth life.

587
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,680
You're a life giver.

588
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,660
That's what this means.

589
00:44:52,660 --> 00:44:55,760
That you will be well.

590
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,360
You will be whole as a life giver.

591
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,240
And here's the other thing I want you to understand.

592
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:09,000
Do you know that you're complimenting your partnering with God and birthing life because

593
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,720
you're giving the opportunity for godly offspring.

594
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:15,880
That's one of the commands.

595
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,140
God wants godly offspring.

596
00:45:18,140 --> 00:45:27,480
The scripture says now and not only are you going to be whole as a mother because that

597
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:33,560
has that is why God created you in the role that you play.

598
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,040
But you should also continue cleave hold fast.

599
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:50,840
Do not depart from faith from love from holiness from with self control with the understanding

600
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:58,600
that I am not going to give my mind and my affection and my heart to anything else but

601
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,800
God and that which he's given me.

602
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,480
That's the role that you play.

603
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,960
Do you see the power you have as a woman?

604
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,700
Forget the feminist movement.

605
00:46:10,700 --> 00:46:13,360
They are taking your power and influence away.

606
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,320
This is not about you becoming an independent woman.

607
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,960
This is about you becoming the one that God created you to be and the role you should

608
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:25,360
play and you wonder why women are suffering in our country because they've been lied

609
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:33,080
to by deceivers by devils.

610
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,900
So let me say it this way.

611
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:45,080
She will be well and whole as a mother a woman of faith a woman of love a woman of holiness

612
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,600
and a woman of a sound mind.

613
00:46:49,600 --> 00:47:00,080
If she continues in the role and purpose that God created her to be.

614
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:08,400
So here's the consequence because Eve did not do this.

615
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:18,400
He says to the woman chapter three of Genesis he says to the woman 316 to the woman he said

616
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:25,800
I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing in pain you shall bring forth children.

617
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,720
There it is.

618
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:33,320
She will be whole in childbearing.

619
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:40,980
Your pain in childbearing is a reminder not to walk away from God again.

620
00:47:40,980 --> 00:47:44,720
Every time you have a baby and that pain is there.

621
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:54,440
It's a reminder you did not choose me but I chose you.

622
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,200
Why would he give us pain during childbearing to teach you.

623
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,400
He is your identity.

624
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,540
He is the source of your life.

625
00:48:03,540 --> 00:48:11,480
And then he says this your desire shall be contrary to your husband but he shall rule

626
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,100
over you.

627
00:48:14,100 --> 00:48:20,080
Your desire is to have dominion over your husband.

628
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,160
But he will rule you.

629
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:29,720
In other words in your house if you cannot compliment your husband if you can't partner

630
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:35,320
with your husband if your husband can't edify and lift you up and partner with you guess

631
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,520
what's always there all the time.

632
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,480
Conflict day after day.

633
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:45,960
Day after day there's a fight and an argument over something stupid.

634
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:54,560
Why because I am my own woman and the man says no I rule the house.

635
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,880
No this is my castle.

636
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,840
Yeah you're right.

637
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,840
But I rule the house.

638
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:07,640
And what happens he sits on his couch and he's this waits.

639
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,680
How do I know because I do that.

640
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:19,200
Even pastor and and my wife we we have debates.

641
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,480
I'm not I'm not I'm not sure of the curse.

642
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,320
I live in the curse every day.

643
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:32,180
It's the same idea that sin desires to have you but you must master it.

644
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:34,440
Sin wants to control you.

645
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,520
That's what this means.

646
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:43,640
But if I willingly submit if you willingly submit to God and the role and the purpose

647
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:52,960
he has for you as a woman and you embrace the beauty of the godliness of the feminine

648
00:49:52,960 --> 00:50:00,120
woman you will experience the amazing blessings that God has for you because you are living

649
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,280
out the purpose by which God created you.

650
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:09,040
Father I want to thank you to you be honor and glory power and might.

651
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:19,720
I praise you and I praise you that in your wisdom you have birthed the family and that

652
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:27,600
you have allowed even in our brokenness the depth of the truth to be filled in our lives

653
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:34,960
that if we if we play the role in part that you have assigned to us to play if we do what

654
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:40,280
you've commanded us to do that you will be high enough lifted up glorified that the gospel

655
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:48,120
would be proclaimed by the family by which the family of God comes together and proclaims

656
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:54,120
the gospel to the communities to the world.

657
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,220
Lord we praise you and we thank you.

658
00:50:57,220 --> 00:51:04,640
Help us as a church to be submissive to willingly place ourselves in subjection to you because

659
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:10,960
it's your purpose and your role for us and that we would be obedient in those things

660
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,960
to you be honor and glory power and might forever.

661
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,960
In Jesus name.

662
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:27,960
Amen.
