Genesis 2:7<br \/>\nThen God created Female out of part of man. Genesis 2:21<br \/>\nMan = Male and Female, not one or the other, only complete when both<br \/>\ncome together and walk in harmony and produce life. (Offspring)<br \/>\nHe produces the seed and she incubates the seed and gives it a body to live<br \/>\nin.<\/p>\n<p>And God said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let us make man in our image, after our likeness<br \/>\nTo have dominion over the fish, birds, cattle, over all the earth, and every<br \/>\ncreeping thing that creeps on the earth.<br \/>\nWhy was woman created?<br \/>\nTo be a companion.<br \/>\nGenesis 2:18<br \/>\nTo be a helper. To help, succor, support.<br \/>\nTo succor = assistance in time of difficulty;<br \/>\nTogether to carry out what they were created for.<br \/>\nThis was to be done in relationship with their Creator.<\/p>\n<p>They lost control of the world to Satan.<br \/>\nGenesis 3 Locked themselves in to control through the Tree of the<br \/>\nKnowledge of Good and Evil.<\/p>\n<p>Then came Calvary, where the disobedience of the fall was atoned for, and<br \/>\nagain, out of choice, man could return to reflecting his creator&#8217;s image and<br \/>\ntaking dominion, as he lives in a living relationship with his creator by<br \/>\neating of the Tree of Life.<br \/>\nSatan, after Calvary, can only gain control by deception.<br \/>\n2 John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not<br \/>\nthat Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.<br \/>\nSatan sends thoughts, situations, problems, all to tempt man to judge out of<br \/>\nknowledge gained from the Tree of Knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>As long as man goes to the Tree of Life he remains in that place of<br \/>\ndominion.<br \/>\nThis requires communication with Father God, through Jesus, by the Holy<br \/>\nSpirit and with each other as Man, especially husbands and wives and on to<br \/>\ntheir children.<br \/>\nMan living in harmony with God and himself fulfills what man was created<br \/>\nfor.<br \/>\nAs Jesus, the bridegroom, is not complete without his bride (the church) so<br \/>\nthe male is not complete without the female.<br \/>\nFor the male to come to his full potential he needs a bride.<br \/>\nAs he fulfills her needs, she in return brings him to his full potential.<br \/>\nComplete manhood is only obtained through woman.<br \/>\nAnything less is independence and control on his part.<br \/>\nHence for man to come to full stature, he needs a woman to make that<br \/>\nhappen.<br \/>\nFor a woman to make that happen, she has to be complete by the male<br \/>\nmeeting her needs.<br \/>\nIt is all about communication.<\/p>\n<p>To be one, there needs to be open and continual communication with Father<br \/>\nGod by the Spirit and as man and wife, with each other.<br \/>\nAdam and Eve were not communicating with God, or each other.<\/p>\n<p>The more the western world has buried itself in what can be only described<br \/>\nas secular humanism, (which is all about self, man, soul, law and nothing of<br \/>\nthe spirit) the spiritual world is an anathema.<br \/>\nYet man has a spiritual side and tries to satisfy it with all sorts of witchcraft;<br \/>\ne.g. Superstition, Meditations, Eastern Religions, Divination, Seances, all<br \/>\nof which control by supernatural powers.<br \/>\nRe &#8211; Communication.<\/p>\n<p>In the Old Testament, they were told to convey the things of the law,<br \/>\nwherever they were, home, work, walking, playing, wherever. Deut 6:7<br \/>\nIn the New Testament, we are told that the fellowship we are having with<br \/>\nFather God we are to have with each other. 1 John 1:3<br \/>\nTo add to this, Jesus even knew their thoughts, Matthew 12:25.<br \/>\nThe Spirit is a two-edged sword, a discerner of the thoughts and intents of<br \/>\nthe heart. Hebrews 4:12.<\/p>\n<p>As for being totally honest and sharing our thoughts, that would be true<br \/>\nopenness and honesty.<br \/>\nThere is a film out where a man could hear people&#8217;s thoughts and we<br \/>\nlaughed our heads off.<br \/>\nThe Holy Spirit knows every thought we have and the reason behind the<br \/>\nthought.<\/p>\n<p>Adam failed to be responsible for Eve, he left the serpent to talk her into<br \/>\neating from the forbidden tree.<br \/>\nHe even blamed God for her, and said she was His responsibility.<br \/>\nGenesis 3:12 &#8211; &#8220;The woman you gave me&#8221;<br \/>\nTo be responsible is an act of will, a choice.<br \/>\nTo be responsible there needs to be communication.<br \/>\nTo be responsible is to be a channel.<\/p>\n<p>Man was given dominion over the earth and every thing in it, but as a<br \/>\nchannel, not the source.<br \/>\nMan is to be responsible for woman, Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally and<br \/>\nPhysically.<br \/>\nWomen are to let men be responsible in those areas.<br \/>\nHow is this done for each area?<br \/>\nSpiritually.<br \/>\nWashing the woman with the word. Ephesians 5:26<\/p>\n<p>These are Father&#8217;s words from the written word, words that build up, not<br \/>\nwords of judgment.<br \/>\nAlso personal encouragement, as most mens words to their wives are words<br \/>\nof either correction or judgment.<br \/>\nMentally.<\/p>\n<p>Feeding the mind with information that is a blessing, also through her telling<br \/>\nhim what she has heard through the day from wherever, Bible, TV, Radio,<br \/>\nreading or listening to other people. He is responsible to show her in a Godly<br \/>\nmanner, things that Father God tells him by the Spirit are not edifying.<br \/>\nPut another way, he is to tell her , of the seed she has gathered, which to<br \/>\ncultivate and which to discard.<br \/>\nEmotionally.<\/p>\n<p>At all times when stressed, he is to provide the logical answer and give her a<br \/>\nhug. He is to be a good listener, not react, but stay calm, especially in voice.<br \/>\nPhysically.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure all her needs are met. Made clear in, 1 Peter 3:7.<br \/>\nTo know, to perceive, to be aware where the wife and daughters are at all<br \/>\ntimes and cover (Protect) them.<br \/>\nWomen are to let man be responsible in those areas.<br \/>\nTo give the logical answer to what she hears and feels.<br \/>\nWhen a female is born, in their heart they know they are vulnerable and need<br \/>\nprotection. When the natural father fails to provide, the female grows up<br \/>\nwith a wounded spirit and will either wander through life an emotional mess<br \/>\ngoing from one hurt to another, or put a wall around their own heart, thus<br \/>\nbecoming hard and independent.<\/p>\n<p>She rejects male leadership and seeks to take charge.<\/p>\n<p>For healing to take place, all judgment of failure needs to be removed.<br \/>\nThe place to start is to accept that man is a created being, and has a maker<br \/>\nand needs to read what his handbook says on the subject.<br \/>\n1 Corinthians 11:3. Know Father God&#8217;s order and accept it with a glad heart.<br \/>\nTo have a submissive attitude, not out of law, but with a grateful heart.<br \/>\nMany men come into marriage ignorant of their responsibility.<br \/>\nMany women come into marriage broken emotionally because the first man<br \/>\nin their lives, (their Dad), failed to cover their emotions or any of the other 3<br \/>\nareas.<\/p>\n<p>Women get into cycles of abusive relationships because they judge when it<br \/>\nfirst happened, and what they judge looses a spirit to control them.<br \/>\nTo judge is to play god, it is an act of pride.<br \/>\nWhen a response is one of judgment to a situation, the respondent binds<br \/>\nthemselves into the judgment behind the situation.<br \/>\nWhen they marry they have an expectation that this area will be covered, but<br \/>\nbecause they have judged their father for his failure, this locks the husband<br \/>\nout from being able to be responsible. Thus it poisons the relationship<br \/>\nbecause the male cannot participate and meet his responsibilities to do the<br \/>\nright thing. The woman is bound in fear by her judgment, and won&#8217;t or can&#8217;t<br \/>\ncommunicate.<\/p>\n<p>Males direction spiritually and naturally should be found in a living<br \/>\nrelationship with Father God through Jesus, by the Holy Spirit.<br \/>\nAll female direction should be found first in their human father, then in their<br \/>\nhusband, who are to be a channels of Father God through Jesus by the Holy<br \/>\nSpirit.<\/p>\n<p>When the male operates in this fashion, the female will not have a<br \/>\n&#8220;submission issue&#8221; because she will feel protected, guarded and loved.<br \/>\nIn the case of having neither father nor husband, she is free to go straight to<br \/>\nGod and be open to whomever He uses to be his channel.<br \/>\nShould the female judge either her father or her husband for their failure in<br \/>\nnot being responsible, she will then take on a control of independence, and<br \/>\ncome under the spirit of deception.<br \/>\nThey are locked into deception, cannot discern the truth, ruled by emotions<br \/>\nor logic, summed up in fear, which blocks the clear word.<br \/>\nEve was easily deceived<br \/>\n2 Corinthians 11:3.<br \/>\nBut I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his<br \/>\nsubtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in<br \/>\nChrist.<\/p>\n<p>Should they refuse to repent of their judgment, they put themselves into<br \/>\nisolation, and the male is no longer responsible.<br \/>\nThey lock themselves in and the male out.<br \/>\nThe reverse of this is, the male has married the person he deserves because<br \/>\nhe has allowed himself to be seduced from his right to lead &#8211; either by<br \/>\njudging his mother for speaking negative things about his father or men in<br \/>\ngeneral, or in childhood he let a girl lead him into sexual foreplay.<br \/>\nThe result of this is found in Proverbs 7.<br \/>\nAt the point of judging and acting out their judgment, a person no longer<br \/>\nbelieves in that relationship, e.g. friendship, marriage<br \/>\nThrough judging all relationships are killed. (destroyed)<br \/>\nUnless judgment is removed there can be no true reconciliation.<br \/>\nAny couple that stays together where there is judgment are both<br \/>\ncontrolled by the judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Both have to forgive to mend a broken relationship.<br \/>\nIn marriage this can happen either way. Where either partner repents but the<br \/>\nother refuses to do so, the unrepentant has departed the marriage and the<br \/>\nother must let them go. If not, they come under the same control.<br \/>\nThe male has departed when he doesn&#8217;t take up his responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>A big factor to breakdown of any relationship, especially marriage, is lack of<br \/>\ncommunication.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of either is an idol of Selfishness, Independence, Pride.<br \/>\nIn such situations the big question is, how would one minister these insights<br \/>\ninto a dysfunctional relationship, once you heard the sob story of the victim?<br \/>\nWhere does one go from here to help folk get insight?<br \/>\nThe hardest thing to get across to the wounded is that what happened, no<br \/>\nmatter how bad, was just a happening often in early childhood.<br \/>\nWhat has given it control and keeps it as a now living pain is the victims<br \/>\njudgment.<br \/>\nTo tell them it is their judgment that is the problem, is like putting a bomb<br \/>\nunder them.<br \/>\nBut, it is the truth. Hence it must be spoken in love.<br \/>\nThe key to release is to repent for judging.<\/p>\n<p>True repentance opens the door for Father God to flood that person with His<br \/>\nlove and healing followed by joy and peace.<br \/>\nThe fault of the victim is the judging of the event, not the actual event.<br \/>\nThe victim mentality wants revenge\/justice\/recompense, etc.<br \/>\nA big problem is how to convey to the person that what happened to them<br \/>\nwas wrong\/bad\/undeserved, etc., but their error is judging what happened<br \/>\nand thus locking in the pain of the event\/act.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue &#8211; how do you counsel the victim who might well be the<br \/>\n&#8220;innocent&#8221; party to the event and wounded?<br \/>\nHow do you teach them their accountability for their reaction\/response, and<br \/>\nlead them to repent of that, and to forgive?<br \/>\nThe answer is to tell them you have the key to setting them free.<\/p>\n<p>It is like a Doctor telling you the key to you getting better is to do this or<br \/>\ntake that.<br \/>\nIn the past, when a person becomes wounded, we have believed the key to<br \/>\nhealing was to get the perpetrator to repent and pay restoration of some kind,<br \/>\neven to go to jail for a period of time.<br \/>\nWhat we are now seeing to be healed, is that as Father God has wiped out all<br \/>\nHis judgment against us, all we have to do is wipe out all our judgments<br \/>\nagainst our fellow man.<\/p>\n<p>There is no such thing as innocence, because we are all born sinners and our<br \/>\nspirit knows that.<br \/>\nBorn in sin and shapen in iniquity. Psalm 51:5<br \/>\nThere is such a thing as ignorance, which leads mankind to have false<br \/>\nexpectations.<\/p>\n<p>These false expectations are judgments, laws, controls that bind and set a<br \/>\nperson up for a fall.<br \/>\nIn the mix is fear. It can be the fears of the parents which opens the door to<br \/>\nthe affliction.<br \/>\nThat which he feared came upon him. Job 3:25.<br \/>\nYes, the bottom line is my response to whatever, that determines from that<br \/>\nmoment on freedom or bondage.<\/p>\n<p>As long as the victim does not take on board the abuse, they are free.<br \/>\nBy the time we come to salvation we have taken on board a truck load, but<br \/>\nJesus said, cast all your cares on me for I care for you. 1 Peter 5:7<br \/>\nCome unto me all you who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you<br \/>\nrest. Matthew 11:28-30<\/p>\n<p>The truth is most people do not know the love of God, or know His<br \/>\nforgiveness and their hearts are still unredeemed.<br \/>\nDepart from me, I do not know you, (have never had intercourse with you,<br \/>\nhave never pierced your heart) Matthew 7:23.<br \/>\nThe key to what has given the past control (trauma, rejection, abuse) and<br \/>\nkeeps the pain as a moment by moment living reality, is the victim&#8217;s<br \/>\njudgment.<\/p>\n<p>To tell that to a person who has been emotionally mentally and physically<br \/>\nraped in the most horrible way, can only be received by the anointing of the<br \/>\nHoly Spirit. Hence exhorted to speak the truth in love. Ephesians 4:15.<br \/>\nUnless conveyed by the Spirit, it is taken as judgment.<br \/>\nYou are saying it is my fault.<br \/>\nThe straight answer is yes, it is.<\/p>\n<p>Pride demands I should never be rejected, demands I should never have any<br \/>\nthing but the best according to my expectations.<br \/>\nPride demands I was born into this world perfect, sinless and pure with no<br \/>\nroom for the sin nature in me, let alone any one else.<br \/>\nThere is No acknowledgement that all mankind from the fall are sinners.<br \/>\nAll are born under the control of the knowledge of good and evil, with no<br \/>\nright to the Tree of Life.<\/p>\n<p>The wonder of it all is that through Jesus dying for the sin of the world on<br \/>\nthe Cross, all mankind has the right to walk away from the Tree of the<br \/>\nKnowledge of Good and Evil (and its control,) to the Tree of Life &#8211; by<br \/>\nsimply being prepared to repent and turn away from judging in every shape<br \/>\nor form.<br \/>\nStop playing god by judging mans faults.<\/p>\n<p>Judging what man does, not understanding why.<br \/>\nThe reason people do not want to give up judging is because they still want<br \/>\nrevenge, are deeply angry, and believe they have a right to judge.<br \/>\nTo think that any one who repents of judging can be totally set free and<br \/>\nreceive total healing is nothing short of a miracle.<br \/>\nSo simple, so profound, it causes many to stumble.<br \/>\nJudging is control and death; not judging is life with a capital L.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:royw@ihug.co.nz\">Contact Roy Waldrom<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Roy Waldrom Why was man created?
