I haven't had the chance to read John Bunyan's book Holy War just yet. But I have spent allot of time thinking about the premise of the book. I have talked to a few who have read it and it is very good. It is one of the few novels I will read.
I think about how this nation was taken down the brink of destruction because of its level of sin. I think about those that founded our country and who replaced those leaders. The strong men of this nation have been replaced with those who are sympathetic to the enemy and his cause. But this is not the only place that has taken a hit of removing the strong man. The strong man has been removed from the home. Some because of cowardous choice, and others have been removed by the changing tide of how we have been taught to view the men who were suppose to be the leaders and protectors of the homes. It is part of my belief system that men need to stand again as strong men. It is my thoughts that women should stand as the woman of Proverbs 31. That means that she is given lead of the house and goings on with in. And most importantly she is worth trusting to take this role seriously. But the men need to stand in the place of protection for her. He is close at hand to guide his children in the way of the YHVH. And they work as a unit to face each day head on no matter what it brings. The man is respected in all that he says and does. And the woman is honored, loved, and understood by him.
I peter 3:7
7in the same way, husbands, live understandingly together, giving respect to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the favour of life, so that your prayers are not hindered. 8to sum up, let all of you be like-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble-minded, 9not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order to inherit a blessing.
It is my prayer: Restore the strong man to his place of strength, place a woman of honor by his side for her counsel of wisdom.
In the Name Of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach Amen.
