Why I Believe I’m Hebrew

Bethink Themselves

Why I Believe I’m Hebrew

I have always loved being “black”. Although I was aware of the tremendous struggles our people have face and continue to face; I was always able to also see our beauty and strengths.

My father took time and taught me about our people and the amazing things we have accomplished despite the great hostility against us worldwide. He showed me documentaries and talked to me for hours, to ensure that I was confident in who we are and who I am. So, I never really had any issue with being black.

However, when I was in grade school, I remember hating the study of American history. Of course, there are many topics that comprise the study of U.S. history, the part that stung like a bee for me was the history of slavery.

I felt such shame listening to/reading about whites enslaving us and all that we endured. Seeing the pictures in the books of us in the fields, on the auction blocks, bearing the scars of their whip on our backs, made me feel such shame. What made it especially bad was the fact that I was usually sitting in predominately “white” classrooms as the shame of our place in American history was laid out.

Fast forward to me being married and becoming a mother. God first blessed us with three amazing sons. I loved my boys and wanted the best for them.

Before we had children, we had decided to homeschool.As the boys grew and we started teaching them more and more information, I avoided U.S. history altogether. Keep in mind that they were barely kindergarten age at this point. I read a lot to them an we discussed many deep topics.

But I totally refused to discuss our role in U.S. history or read any books about it to them. I refused to tell my sons that we were was slaves. When I taught them about slavery, I wanted to come armed with information to present on our history before we were put on those ships. So, I waited. I didn’t even know what I was waiting for, but I waited.

In 2016 my husband came to me and told me he believed we were the Hebrews of the bible. It felt like a punch in the gut. Shock and disbelief were my initially reactions. WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAAAAAT?!!!!!!!!

He discussed it with me, told me about the information he found, told me that there were many other people who believed the same thing. He told me that many people during the reconstruction era and during the civil rights movements also believed this. He explained to me that the information was not new, it is just methodically and intentionally suppressed.

We took weeks and watched videos, read documents and most importantly read Scriptures that supported the findings. The information shook the core of everything I ever thought I was, and of who I knew “us” to be. How could I have gone from kindergarten through undergrad and never heard this. How could I have grown up in church my entire life and never heard this come over the pulpit?

It took months for me to unpack all of my emotions, and to reconcile the truth from what I had been told was the truth. Everything felt different. Who I thought I was felt different, who I thought my sons were felt different, how I viewed my husband felt different, and how I saw God was different too.

I initially had feelings of distrust towards the entire system that had hid this from me. But soon that turned into understanding of my position and response… prayer for the deliverance of Jacob, repentance of our sins of disobedience, repentance for idolatry and turning away from God, and repentance for not receiving His Son (pre-slavery), and prayer & intercession on behalf of the people of Israel, that all Israel would be saved.

As a result of this understanding, I now had pre-slavery history to present to my sons BEFORE I told them we were slaves in America. Now I could tell them why we ended up slaves. We rebelled against the Most High God.

These are key scriptures/facts that proved African Americans and some of the African diaspora who have been scattered over the face of the earth are the true Hebrews of the bible:

-We were brought to America and many other nations on ships Deuteronomy 28:68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

Hebrews were slaves in Egypt not for 400 years, but only from sometime after Joseph died to when Moses was 80. The bible says that if Israel turned from the commandments of God, they would be taken back to Egypt on ships.

The geographic location of Israel is VERY close to Egypt. There is a sea that separates the two countries, but there is also a path that can be traveled by land.

No need for ships. God was referring to enslavement in a far away place, which is why He told them they would see the path he gave them NO MORE.

White Jews were never enslaved, and never carried away in enslavement on ships anywhere.

-We are imprisoned at high rates Isaiah 42:22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? 24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. 25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

-The children of slaves were taken from them and sold Deuteronomy 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

-We have been killed mercilessly Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life.

-People hate us and curse us all over the world 1 Kings 9:6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: 7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: 8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?

– In America, Hebrews (African Americans) are lower than immigrants Deuteronomy 28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

White Ashkenazi Jews have faced persecution. But one thing everyone knows about them, in general, they have great wealth all over the earth. They lend, and others borrow. How can this Scripture be about them? It is not. Blacks are the Hebrews of the bible. The chosen ones, punished by God for rejecting Him, His commandments, His Son.

– Masters raped slave women, we built this country, yet have nothing to show for it Deuteronomy 28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE WIVES? #TOLD

CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE WIVES?
#TOLD
TRUTH OVER LIES DAILY

Q: There are a bunch of things I the Bible that were 100% acceptable years ago. Today they are shunned upon, but the church teaches God never changes… For example When did multiple wives and concubines stop and the new commandment to stop whoring take over? Why does it seem like the Lord’s perspective on things changed when he’s all knowing?

Q: I have a question about polygamy. People are saying that it’s biblical to have more than on wife. Is it lawful? As far as biblically.

A: The Lord didn’t change His Creation Law or Moral standards… but sometimes He strives with man, sometimes He didn’t. (Genesis 6:3).

Sometimes he winks at ignorance (even though His law still effects the sinner), but sometimes He commands all men to repent (Acts 17:30-32) .

Yah doesn’t change, but He does execute certain outreaches/proclamations/punishments at different times.

As far as multiple wives and concubines… from the BEGINNING, God made them male and female. 2 become one. This is simply Natural law, and Creation Design and Order.

All the men that had multiple wives had violence in their families also, because that’s how it works. It’s Creation law.

When we study Genesis, we see that the first marriage was one man/one woman.

We see that the first mention of a man with multiple wives was also a murderer (Lamech). When we realize the “law of first mention” we begin to see that pattern throughout the rest of Scripture.

Yah even warned Israel that the king should not multiply wives unto himself (Deuteronomy 17:17). David and Solomon didn’t listen, and they payed the price.

Multiple wives leads to envy, iniquity, and violence across multiple generations… and its simply not God’s will. This is why in the New Covenant, spiritual examples (elders) have to be the husband of ONE wife.

Jesus with His New Covenant brought us back to the BEGINNING.

The simple truth is that having more than one wife at once creates bad results for your family.

How Does The Spirit of Jezebel Manifest?

How Does The Spirit of Jezebel Manifest?

Jezebel was the daughter of a king, and became the wife of Ahab, King of Israel. She led him into idolatry; she was controlling, manipulative, operated in disorder by ruling over her husband, she was against God and His true prophets, and she supported prophets of the false God Baal. She threatened Elijah, a true prophet of God with death.

Jezebel was clearly operating under a high level of demonic influence. Although she is dead the tactics she used to oppose the things of God are still used by the demonic realm today. This is what people are referring to when they discuss the spirit of Jezebel.

The spirit of Jezebel can manifest in many different ways and effect your life in many different areas:

  • It is spiritual, manifesting in spiritual leaders who are controlling, manipulative and disobedient to God by bringing idolatry, adultery, or fornication into a Congregation.
  • It can manifest through compromising ministry that mixes with the world in order to gain influence.
  • It can manifest in a marriage, in a wife who is disrespectful and disobedient to her husband, taking leadership and control in her home over her husband.
  • It can manifest naturally with financial resources and support being negatively affected as you begin to speak the truth and call people to repentance.
  • It can manifest in ungodly female leadership usurping authority in the congregation of God.

Women have many gifts and callings that are essential in God’s kingdom, but they are not to usurp authority over a man.

The spirit of Jezebel can manifest in threats against you in the spirit realm or in the natural as you move in the ministry and calling God has given you calling people to repentance.

When you begin to walk in God’s order, the spirit of Jezebel can try and get a foothold in your home anyway through friends and extended family who operate in  high level of disorder and subtly influence your children and the flow in your home through the example of sin in their life.

If you feel like the spirit of Jezebel is manifesting against you in anyway…CALL OUT TO THE LORD FOR DELIVERANCE.

  1. First, repent for allowing the spirit of Jezebel to operate through you.
  2. Then ask God to deliver you from that spirit personally and to close any open doors in your heart where the enemy can gain access.
  3. Then ask God to deliver you from the spirit of Jezebel in every way and be ready to act when he shows you what to do and/or who to cut ties with.

Sometimes the deliverance will be automatic, God will just do it, sometimes He requires you to act on what He shows you for the deliverance to take place.

Either way, flee, take courage and walk in the Spirit of God with intense prayer, fasting, worship and meditating on God’s word. And you will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of YOUR testimony. Tell your testimony when you receive deliverance and you will have the VICTORY!

PERFORMANCE VS REPENTANCE? #TOLD

PERFORMANCE VS REPENTANCE?
#TOLD
TRUTH OVER LIES DAILY

Q: Since Jesus went to eat with sinners, its okay for Christian artists to perform for unbelievers because that’s a way to promote the gospel. If you’re strong enough to handle it, you should do it. Am I right?

A: There were plenty of times when Gods people were instructed NOT to receive support from unbelievers.

There’s a difference between repentant sinners receiving your message, and repenting… and being promoted and doing your ministry as a show for unbelievers. The former is the fruit of the kingdom of God and repentance to His Commandments being preached. The latter is called the doctrine of Balaam.

The doctrine of Balaam is a little different than the doctrine of jezebel, but its just as dangerous to the Body of Christ. Essentially, its people pleasing for money. You can search my blog sospression.com for more info on the error of Balaam. I’ll give a few scripture examples.

When Paul preached the gospel at Ephesus, he did not form a partnership with the Temple of Diana. They were opposed to him because his message decimated their income. People that make money off of sin should not be excited to partner with us. If they do, its a clever move to enter into our “market”.

Thats the doctrine of Balaam in a nutshell. When Paul was preaching and the demonized woman started promoting him, he was not happy with her marketing efforts. He recognized it as a dilution of the gospel even though she was saying everything right on the outside. He casted the python demon out of her, and her handlers lost revenue$$$ because her demonic gift of prophecy was gone.

Think of it like this: if you have a husband, you don’t need a pimp to promote your beauty. It’s better to serve your husband in his house than serve the public in a whorehouse.

We don’t need to be employed by those in opposition to God, to promote God. Its a conflict of interest, and its a form of spiritual espionage. If you read Numbers 22-25, you will see that’s what Balaam and Balaak did to the children of Israel.

Here’s the scripture showing the apostles heart on ministry support and promotion:

3 John 1:7 Because that for HIS NAME’S SAKE they WENT FORTH, TAKING NOTHING OF THE GENTILES. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

This Scripture shows that it matters where your support comes from. Believers are instructed to help those that DON’T get support from unbelieving Gentiles.

Paul did NOT partner with Gods enemies to get exposure, brand recognition or $$$ for the gospel. Instead, he either worked a natural non-spiritual job working with his hands, or received support from believers and repenters.

Peter rejected the money of Simon the Sorcerer and preached harshly to Him for trying to buy the gifts of God without repenting of His inner iniquity.

This is consistent apostolic order coming direct from Jesus the Messiah.

When believers support your ministry, it can continue to produce fruit.

When Gods enemies claim to “support” or “market” your ministry without repenting, its the enemy tactic of Balaak/Balaam.

The “Ungodly Agenda” of Black Lives Matter

Any Christians standing against the concepts of “Black Lives Matter” or “Take A Knee” for the purpose of feeding their political or religious FEARS also needs to show TANGIBLE RECEIPTS of the ACTIONS they have taken to protest or contribute to ending Police Department Lawlessness and/or Judicial Injustice.

– Show the donations you’ve made to specific legal cases and families.

– Testify about the prayer meetings you’ve had for specific people and how God answered them when you cried out to Him with tears.

If you can’t do that, then please shut your mouth until you can get delivered from your hypocrisy.

If you can’t do that, you are just proving to everyone that an ungodly Samaritan (lesbian, muslim, journalist) knows how to love their neighbor better than you do.

If you can’t do that, you are the stuck up priest and levite sidestepping the victim while the Samaritan who does not know God and has an “ungodly agenda” is taking action for the victim.

Would I personally donate to the political organization of BLM?

No. But the concept of Black Lives Matter still remains true. It’s a SHAME that God has to use lesbians, a muslim quarterback, and a passionate journalist to do the job that Real Preachers used to do – stand up for injustice. It’s not their fault that the church is full of political hypocrites that won’t take the LEAD against Police Department Lawlessness and Judicial Injustice.

So no we don’t make donations to BLM the political org – we donate directly to specific cases in our community and across the US where there is grievous injustice. We also pray about these cases as a Congregation and see SWIFT results directly from the Hand of the Most High.

Proverbs 30:8 OPEN THY MOUTH for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 9 OPEN THY MOUTH, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy

6 TONGUES QUESTIONS #TOLD

6 TONGUES QUESTIONS
#TOLD
TRUTH OVER LIES DAILY

Q: Can unknown tongues be interpreted? Say for example, tongues of angels (1 Corinthians 13:1)
A: Yes

Q: If you pray in tongues, and don’t receive the interpretation from the Holy Spirit, should you only pray in tongues in private until someone who can interpret tongues are present? (1 Corinthians 14:13)
A:Yes

Q: If when you first prayed and asked Yahuah for the ability to interpret, and you still were unable to interpret tongues, should you continue to pray in tongues in private?
A: Interpretation of tongues is not an administration gift (apostle/prophet/evangelist/shepherd), it’s a Holy Spirit operations gift. That means its transient, given by the Holy Spirit “in the moment” as He operates thru the Body.

Sometimes interpretation of tongues tends to work just like the gift of prophecy. It’s not really a “translation” but an interpretation. Which means once you let it out, you can listen to the Holy Spirit and give what the Spirit was saying in a prophetic word.

Q: If I speak, or pray, or sing in tongues, but never receive the ability to interpret what I spoke, prayed, or sang in that tongue, and no one else either with or without the ability to interpret what I spoke, prayed, or sang, should I stop speaking, praying, or singing in tongues altogether?

A: In a meeting, yes. If you are by yourself, it’s okay to continue edifying yourself. Sometime the interpretation will come to you later, in a non-dramatic way. It may just come as a normal revelation.

Q: Paul said that people talk only to Elohim when they speak in tongues (1 Cor. 14:2), and only people’s spirit prays when they pray in tongues (1 Cor. 14:14) — is that because the language is of an angel (1 Cor. 13:1), or because it’s a language on earth that you have never learned before (1 Cor. 13:1), and won’t know it until it has been interpreted either by you or someone with the gift of interpreting tongues (1 Cor. 14:13, 1 Cor. 12:10)?

A: It could be either. A certain type of tongues is a heavenly language (tongues of angels). Sometime its an earthly language.

Q: In 1 Corinthians 14:2, is Paul talking about a tongue of an angel or a known tongue on earth? Because in verse 5, it seems Paul is saying that it can be interpreted.

A: I think in that scripture he’s talking about people praying in languages they don’t know. But yes if you pray, you can get an interpretation of the revelation that the Holy Spirit was speaking thru your spirit.

All the Tribes of the Earth will MOURN when they see the Son of MAN

TELL THE GOOD NEWS WHILE YOU CAN because the time is coming soon when seeing the Son of MAN will be very BAD NEWS for all the tribes of the earth.

They will mourn when they see that He is not only 100% GOD but 100% a MAN from the Tribe of JUDAH – the people they despised.

He is the LION (King and Leader) of the Tribe of JUDAH – a HEBREW ISRAELITE tribe from the land of Canaan in AFRICA – the land of HAM.

When the tribes of the earth see His hair like wool and His feet like bronze (Revelation 1:14-15), it will be His MANhood that will cause them to mourn when His MANhood appears in glory and power.

Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of MAN in heaven: and THEN SHALL ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN, and they shall see the Son of MAN coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

If you have a problem with “black” male leadership you also have a problem with Jesus the King of Kings.

He is 100% GOD but He is also 100% MAN.

He is the only so-called “black” Messiah that can unify Scattered Israelites, AND He saves All Gentiles (red & yellow, black & white) who OBEY His Kingdom Gospel

Make sure you know how to Pass His Judgement Day Test!

SPEAKING OR PRAYING IN TONGUES? #TOLD

SPEAKING OR PRAYING IN TONGUES?
#TOLD
TRUTH OVER LIES DAILY

Q: I have two questions: Is speaking in tongues and praying in tongues different things? Is praying in the Holy Spirit synonymous to praying in tongues?

A: First question: Yes, depending on who you are talking to.

If you are talking to God it’s considered PRAYING.

If you are talking to people then you should make sure there is an interpretation to what you are SPEAKING so that people can understand what the Spirit is SPEAKING.

Speaking in Tongues to People (known languages): Acts 2:4, 1 Corinthians 12:10

Speaking in Tongues (unknown languages): 1 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Corinthians 14:2

Praying in Tongues to God (unknown languages): 1 Corinthians 14:2, 1 Corinthians 14:28

1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

1 Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Second question: Yes, Apostles Paul and Apostle Jude use “praying with the Spirit” and “praying in the Holy Ghost” synonymously with “praying in tongues.”

Praying or Singing in the Spirit and Praying in the Holy Ghost is Praying in Tongues (unknown languages): 1 Corinthians 14:14-16, Jude 20

1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Jude 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Jezebel Wants to Destroy your Marriage

Esosa: Shereena, Can you please focus on cooking before you do other things today?

Shereena: No, I am really busy today and I have too much to do.

Esosa: Well, I think getting the meals done is the most important thing, because it helps us save time during the week.

Shereena: Well, I will do my best. Cooking takes all day and I don’t know if I will have time.

The dialogue above seems like a normal conversation between a husband and wife. But if you really think about what took place in the conversation it is not. My husband made a request of me, and I blew it off. Putting my to do list above what he desired of me. In a seemingly insignificant way, I exerted my will above his. No yelling or screaming or cussing at him, but disobedience to my husband non-the-less.

You may be thinking that what transpired in the conversation was no big deal. But if you think about it more deeply, it was a display of disorder in my heart. If I truly, in my inner man believed that my husband was the God appointed leader in my life, I would have a much higher value on his desires and executing his requests.

As a wife, my husband’s requests should be top of my list. But it has not always been that way.

At the beginning of my marriage I believed all the things you are supposed to believe as a Christian wife. I believed that my husband was the head of our home, I tried to walk that out even in our courtship and wedding planning, following his lead even when it was not what I wanted. I believed that I was to obey and submit to him. I believed that Christ was the head of man and man the head of the woman. I believed all of those things. Or so I thought. Once we were married, and the wedding, and celebrating was over… it was harder than I thought it would be to LIVE the reality of my husband being my head.

Many things he said I would agree with and go with. But there were many times when I did not. I thought that as long as I stated my opinion in a calm way, that was ok. Going against what he said, constantly stating my opinion in most decisions he made. Pushing to get my way. But obedience is not what you say, it is what is in your heart.

Obedience is a heart issue. Even God acknowledges that in the book of Matthew when he said “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me” (Matt. 15:8). In my heart most times I wanted my way. Even times when I did go along with what he wanted, my heart was not in it.

This is disorder. Disorder in how God created husbands and wives to function together in a Godly marriage. Disorder can be a very subtle thing. Disoder is not always overt with constant yelling, fighting and disrespect. Dis·or·der /ˌdisˈôrdər/ noun~ a state of confusion. Disorder is simply a state of confusion. Confusion. That is exactly what was happening in our marriage a lot of times. Confusion.

Having a clear leader eliminates confusion. One person leading, casting vision and giving orders. Everyone else playing their role in supporting the vision with the gifts, talents and abilities God has given them. Following the leader. Does that mean the leader is always right, no. But in a marriage the husband has the God given role to lead. Having a clear designated leader decreases confusion in the family.

The marriage of Jezebel and Ahab was the epitome of disorder. She. Was. The. Head. PERIOD!

Ahab followed her idolatry even though He was KING over the chosen people of the ONLY LIVING GOD. She made the decisions, she was the spiritual leader with the prophets of Baal under her command. She solved Ahab’s problems. She was the man. (Her story begins in 1 Kings 16)

Ladies, ask yourself, what kind of husband do you want? A strong man, who is capable of making decisions and taking responsibility? A man who is a leader in the kingdom of God? Who has attained the qualifications of an elder (Titus 1:5-9), who is known when he sits among the leaders (Proverbs 31:23)? A man who is respected in your house, on his job, in the congregation? Any Godly woman would desire this. And it takes a woman who understands order to build this.

A wise woman builds her house (Proverbs 14:1). Give your husband courage to grow in his leadership, praying him into his role, encouraging him in his role, teaching the children about his role so they respect him and honor him.

Don’t take advantage of his weak areas as an opportunity to take control. Rather, pray for him and ask God to teach you how to encourage his leadership in areas he is weak. Seek order woman of God.

The end of the reign of Jezebel and the house of Jezebel was dismal. You cannot bear Godly seed, and have a Godly home without God’s order. He won’t allow it. Taking the lead from your husband could ruin your marriage without you even realizing what happened.

Many men feel discouraged by their wives, but don’t say it. Many men feel disrespected but don’t say it. Many men feel run over by their wives but don’t say it. If a man cannot fulfill his role he feels useless, and this leads to a lot of divorces. And sometimes, he will never say it. I have had several dreams in which men were crying and longing for order and fruitfulness in their homes.

The spirit of Jezebel is thriving in the churches, and men don’t feel like they even have room to communicate their need for respect. There is such a high expectation for equality, and he may feel like a chauvinist for expressing his need to lead in his home.

Some men may stay and endure feeling disrespected in a marriage, but they may check out mentally. This is the reason many men are not heavily involved with their children, they know that their wife will second guess any decision they try to make concerning them. This is a reason some men don’t initiate a lot of things in their relationship with their wife, they know that she will shoot down almost any suggestion he tries to make.

If you notice your husband is withdrawn in any area of your family life, pray and ask God to show you why, ask him if he feels like you respect him, and let him express his heart without getting defensive, without bringing up his mistakes… just listen. Take his response humbly and begin your journey of becoming a respectful obedient wife, with a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:1-6).

Our role is to support our husbands in prayer as they lead. Forgiving their mistakes, praying for God to light their path and give them hearts to obey Him as they lead the family. Giving advice when appropriate, asking God for opportunity and proper timing to discuss concerns we have, and obeying not just with your mouth but in your heart. What good is it woman if you say yes Sir when your husband asks you to do something or makes a decision, but in your heart you are against him? Draw nigh to God’s order in your heart woman of God.

RISE UP woman of God, follow God’s order and submit to your husband, not just with your mouth, but in your heart. This is one of the main things you can do to bless your household and put glory on your children. Oh, woman don’t you know… the glory of children are their fathers (Proverbs 17:6)!

Prayer: God, I repent to you for operating in the spirit of jezebel against my husband. I repent God for being rebellious against you and the order you have set. My husband is my head and the leader, I am to submit to him. God I repent for being difficult for you and my husband to lead, please forgive me for being contrary and moving against my husband and the work you have for him to do. I release to you the spirit of Jezebel, the spirit of rebellion, and the spirit of witchcraft.

Please cultivate within me a meek and quiet spirit, let the law of kindness be in my mouth, and help me fall in line with the order you have set. You are the head of man, and man is the head of the woman. God, please bless my husband to follow you and be obedient to you in all things. Give him power, love and a sound mind, help him make the right decisions for our family both naturally and spiritually. Get the glory in our family God, and help us to be pleasing to you. God deliver us from the spirit of Jezebel in every way. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
