Submitting To Your Husband Or Submitting To God

December 4, 2024

Jesus you know there is much on my heart and mind but again I submit to Your will and your ways, and I surrender to being a sacrifice. Your little ball whatever you decide to do with me and how you decide to do with me, I surrender, Lord.

As an aside family, I had just shared that the Lord called me to the mountain to stay until my return to Ghana. And boy was that a trial. I had to inform Derrick first and he was not crazy about the idea but yielded because I was okay with it, and it was the Lord’s will. Then I had to tell my family which I did one by one and again everyone wasn’t so crazy about the idea, but they yielded [except] my Mother who would still call here and there and try to convince me otherwise. Hence the message the Lord gave about pleasing the family. Well, it seems they were uncomfortable about my decision was able to persuade Derrick a bit more to finally say that I should go back home instead.

I found myself frustrated at this trial because Jesus was telling me one thing, my husband was telling me one thing my spiritual covering was feeling another. And very strong, in the fact, that I needed to follow the Lord. I was all wound up and resentful at this cross again if I can be honest When I went to the Lord [to ask] if it was His will for me to stay on the mountain I got “Joy”. Then, after speaking to Derric— going back and forth about this change in his mind. As I finally got settled and made arrangements and changes to stay, now I have to go back. I then asked the Lord again if I should submit to him, Lord he is my husband. I got “Joy”. I was so confused.

I've come back to the mountain in a different state of life than I was before. So, things are different now and although the Lord has taught us to follow his leading and be obedient and had warned me I was leading myself by going back now I had to submit to my husband in all things. If I can be honest it triggered a lot of emotions from the last time I was on the mountain when I first arrived (what, was it four years ago?) and all the trials I went through with my family, being here. The same thing—and even between Derrick and me, to the point where we separated.

I pulled a rhema from St. Faustina's book as I said, “Lord why this contradiction again?” and I opened to her asking the Lord why He was giving such a hard trial to a priest and Jesus said “It is because of the triple crown he is to receive”

I sighed and went to Mother Clare to discern everything. She was also torn because we both wanted to do the Lord's perfect will but understood this usurped that— and we believed the Lord would be rather pleased that I submit [rather] than going my own way. So, His perfect will is for me to be here, on the mountain, but His “permissible” will is for me to go back in order to submit and honor my husband's request instead.

Jesus began,

“I am giving you the grace right now to have a better disposition in this trial, Beloved, just as what you read today in The Imitation of Mary. I would like you to continue getting rhemas from there, daily.

The reading I got from the book was entitled, Disposition in Trial, saying, “Nevertheless, not my will be done, but Yours be done,” as Mary did.

“There is a lot to learn from My mother. I’m sorry this has been difficult for you, but this is all in My will, yet again. I want to be able to do whatever I desire with My brides—lead them in directions—and if I say turn or change directions—or even turn around—even that, they do out of obedience. I told you your life would be filled with contradictions, but it’s all to stretch your faith and continuously teach you in obedience and humility.

“I am also doing a work in your family, whether you realize it or not. So please bear with Me and adjust to the changes. The more you pray daily to My Mother, Undoer of Knots, the more things will begin to get clearer and easier for all including your beloved, to submit to My desires, My will, and My leading in his life and that of your family. So, it’s very necessary that you pray the rosary daily as you [while] are here.

“My beloved, I am making you into a great example of a soul whose will and whose life is abandoned to Me. Did you not once ask Me for that? To be like that Heidie Baker from Iris Global. I told her to leave China and head to Mozambique with nowhere to go, and nowhere to stay, but she would be directed once she got there. Her husband and she were in agreement, and she up and left in the midst of civil war, and I provided for her. That was just one of many acts of her blind obedience that led her to see the greatest revival in the nation and lead it as well.

“So, know that I am in the twists and turns. This will also soften your beloved’s heart more and more, submitting his leading even though at times it may contradict Mine. Do not push, do not impose, or force what I have said to you but take an example from My Mother, as well. When she was pregnant with Me, in her humility, she never told Joseph but trusted that God would cover her—God would speak to him as he has called him to be her covering and protector for Me and her. Don’t think for once she didnt struggle with this. Although she never lost her peace there were days of worry and anxiety. Imagine seeing her belly grow, knowing Joseph and many others see it too but saying nothing and trusting the Lord to come to her defense to make His will clear and He did. Just like He will do for you when you lean on Him and surrender to the trials that he allows in these situations.

“This is a great example for My married brides. My beloveds, if I give you instruction and your husband does not agree, as long as it does not go against your conscience, or where he is leading the family is not in sin, then yield to his leading, please. If he is in error I will correct him. Sometimes (not always) stopping him from the path he has chosen. But other times allowing him to pass through it so he can learn to value your discernment and wisdom as well. At times it is a test of humility, surrender, and obedience for you. Even if you are more spiritual than your spouse or even if he is an unbeliever, allow him, please, to make the major decisions for your family. Do not usurp his authority in any way or try to lead in any way. You pray, gently and lovingly bring up the counsel I have given and shown you and leave it in his hands, and in Mine. I will deal with him and work with him to do My will more and more. However, if you become bull-headed, sure, and certain of your way in hearing from the Lord, there will always be a place of contention between you two and the enemy will use that to cause rancor and strife.

“There will be many more times [when] I will speak to your husband just like I did St. Joseph when he was prompted to leave Bethlehem and flee to Egypt. My Mother responded promptly and obediently. Imagine if she dragged her feet or needed to seek the Lord's instructions first, needed to have her own peace about it; I would be dead.

She had full peace because she trusted that the Lord spoke to Joseph, and I need you to trust, My beloved married brides, that I will and do speak to your husbands on your behalf. And, according to My will, your job is to pray.

“There are some unique instances, as Mother Clare gave in her testimony of being unequally yoked with someone I never put you together with.  And in some instances, you have to make a decision to continue in that relationship or leave to follow Me to fulfill your destiny. For those situations, I make it very clear to you, as I did for Mother Clare and Father Ezekiel, and the fruit in their lives testifies that they made the right decision in leaving their marriages to follow Me. There are some of you who are in that situation, and you know who you are. It's a hard choice and a hard cost but I promise you won't regret it. And I will help you navigate through uncertainties until you find Me—find your way, and the path which I have called you to take with you and your children. I have something wonderful in store for you if would lay that marriage down at My altar.

“For others such as Little Mother, especially my female brides, you will be tested in the way over and over and over again. I am raising many of you up as lionesses to preach My gospel all over the earth. But I need lionesses who are submitted, obedient, and humble. You may have great gifts and anointings, but if you do not honor your husband and their leading, and head as your covering in your day-to-day life, then your gifts to Me are useless. Let your submission and surrender begin at home first. Many of you are strong-willed, and much closer to Me than your counterpart husbands. But that does not mean you lead. That means you rather should serve, pray, and lead by example, My beloved ones, in love and obedience. And if there is anything you truly do not have peace about, come to Me. Let us reason, and leave it in My hands to instruct, correct, and guide your spouses in the way they should go when your convictions are not heard.”

That was the end of Jesus's message.
