Kingdom 104: Where Are the Masculine-Thinking Men? Pt 3
When God created Adam, He gave him the authority to cultivate the garden and have dominion over all creation. God made Adam the leader. This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve wasn't in the picture yet. In fact, she wasn't even created as of yet. Now, in the Garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil was there, as well as the tree of life. Only Adam was in the Garden when the Lord God stated this to him: Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
I know that many will not like what I am about to state, but it is God's original intent. It is out of a woman's godly purpose to have total authority over a man. The real problem is that man handed that authority over to her, from the very beginning (Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”) God didn't choose a woman to lead His people and He never had two leaders at one time leading His people. You will never find two pastors leading the early church. This two-headed creation is a man-made position. If you will study God's Constitution (Bible), you will discover that the Creator made Eve to be a helper to Adam. Adam was to lead, Eve to assist and follow. That was God's original plan before Adam became disobedient. And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” In some translations of God's Constitution, the word used is suitable, comparable, but never the word equal. The Lord God never made woman equal to a man, but He did make her suitable as a helper or assistant. She had gifts and talents that would complement and assist Adam. The world system refuses to accept this, because the devil has blinded their eyes. People will get angry and attack this truth, believing that it "demeans women" and makes them less than men. Not true! They merely have different strengths and weaknesses and different assignments! Many leaders may see this, but won't speak about it for fear of a backlash from their members. My question to you is, are you afraid to speak the truth concerning God's Word? Are you willing to teach the Kingdom message without fear of reprisal?
Whenever the evil one (the devil) wants to bring down a man that is driven by the Word of God, he will use money and/or a woman. Allow me to share this story about an average-build man, that was endowed with the power of God. His name was Samson. He was born for a specific purpose. All he had to do was to stay focused. I think it is sad for a person to be remembered for what they could have been. Samson had tremendous potential. All he had to do was to stay focused and stay committed to his purpose.
All men are born with a purpose. They are to be masculine in their thinking and in their behavior. A man is designed to be masculine and a woman is designed to be feminine. Anything else is an abomination to God and mankind. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. When are we going to get a clue that we will have to give an account of our actions before our Creator? It's time for some mental housecleaning and throw out anything that does not line up with God's Word.
Now, allow me to share with you Samson's weaknesses: 1. He violated his vow and the Lord God's laws on many occasions. 2. He was controlled by lust and sensuality. 3. He confided in the wrong woman. 4. He failed to stay focused and used his gifts and abilities unwisely. 5. Even when Delilah showed him through her actions that she wanted to destroy him, he continued to confide in her! Judges 16
