Chapter 1

Go Tell My Brothers

A: DISCERNING THE BODY OF CHRIST

The title of this conference is “Go Tell My Brothers…”, and Jesus Christ told me what to tell you. This is such a privilege because I remember Jesus talking to another Mary saying, “Go tell My brothers.” He said to this Mary, “I want you to go tell My brothers that they are the Sons of the living God.” I do not believe that you fully understand the ramifications of this; most saints do not. Most of the Body of Christ does not comprehend what it means to be a Son of God. One of the things that God is extremely concerned about is the Body of Christ.

Before this conference is over, you will understand the reason for this concern; the Body of Christ, the Church itself; has not discerned the true purpose for the Body. You are men and you must be able to receive the Word as men and not children. When I say “children” I mean receive it in folly or receive it in foolishness of the heart. You must receive it as matured men. God wants to cause you to share in His concern for the Body of Christ. God wants to reveal to each of you, the Body of Christ. Don’t be presumptuous and think that you have already discerned the Body.

I challenge you brothers, that if you had discerned the Body of Christ you would then be operating in the purpose of Christ. The church is stagnated today because the purpose of God is not on the agenda for the Body. Many of you are called, you have a call on your life that you will never walk in unless you discern the Body of Christ. God has called you, and you know you have been called. You feel the unction to serve. You know God has something for you to do, but unless you discern the Body, you will only do what you see other men do. You will only produce what other men are producing and never achieve the purpose of God for your life. You can be religious and play church until Jesus comes. God sent me here to destroy the class system in Jamaica. Some of you are saved, full of the Holy Ghost, and you are offended by this. You love your superior mindset, and God wants it destroyed. I’m here to tell you this: no one can serve God being a respecter of persons.

No man or no woman can even please God being a respecter of persons. Jesus died for your helpers; Jesus died for the poor; and Jesus died for the ignorant and out of the way. This is why He gave His life. He also died for the rich man, the educated and the learned. We have to make a decision. We have to come inside the plan of God or we will be an enemy of the plan. There is no other place to go. There is no such thing as neutrality here. There is no neutral ground to stand on.

You are either working with God or working against God. You are either in agreement with God or at war with God. Anytime you stand still when God gives you an option or presents Himself and says “move from where you are into the thing that I have presented to you;” and you do not move, you are in rebellion. People think they can just do nothing. Many people will never be a leader because leaders must be bold. Leaders are pioneers. A leader is a forerunner. A leader is the first one to cut the path. A leader is the one who has to deal with the snakes in the path and all the branches and obstacles that are in the way. God is concerned about you! Some of us are willing to do it. We are not afraid of the snakes. We are not afraid of being talked about. We are not afraid of what some organization or denomination is going to say about our obedience to God. We do not fear . . . you fear! We must come to understand God’s heart and mind concerning the Body of Christ. Jesus died for all people.

B: TRUTH-VS.-THE TRADITIONS OF MEN

Many men follow the structure of their organization and denomination and it has become your god. Consequently, you are more in submission to your organization than to your God. God is raising women who do not care anything about an organization that is not in line with God. The sad thing is that you know your organization is not moving, is off-course, is half-dead or dying and not accomplishing the purpose of God. You can see it, but you do not want to rock the boat, so, you submit to their ways. YOU MUST NOT SUBMIT TO ANYTHING THAT IS OFF-COURSE WITH GOD. Too, some of you give the religious answer “I’m just being patient.” How long should you be patient?

Until God says move and when He says move, you move even if the organization does not move . . . or you and the organization will end up in hell. Some of you want “real God.” You are tired of the stale manna that is doing nothing for you and you go home searching trying to find God. There are some issues in your lives that must be dealt with, issues that are not personal but are of your organizations. God is here to challenge you to accept truth, but the power and strength of tradition will keep you from accepting the truth. That is what makes tradition strong. Tradition refuses to look at the truth that challenges its position. There was a doctrine preached in your nation called “Dominionship Now,” and some of you gobbled it up. God said this is error, don’t preach it to people any longer. This is not our season to possess the land.

Hebrews 1:8

8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

“Now we see Jesus,” but we do not see everything under Jesus’ feet as yet. If everything is not put under Jesus’ feet, how can everything be under your feet? How did you surpass Christ? Christ is sitting on the right hand of authority, on the right hand of power, waiting until His enemies are made His footstool.

Paul clearly states, we do not see everything. Death is still reigning. Hell is still receiving people. Demons are still possessing people, saints are still poor and some will remain poor The traditions of men make the Word of God of none effect. until Jesus comes. You do not have to be rich to be saved. Many are hurting. Some of your children are renegades and you are hurting and perplexed. If you have so much dominionship, why can’t you resolve those issues?

You do not even understand the purpose of them. You have issues that God put in your lives for your making, issues that God will not even allow to be resolved in your timing. There are some things that will not be resolved until God accomplishes what He wants it to accomplish in you. You will have an option. For some of you it would be better for you not to hear what I am going to be ministering, as it will bring judgment in your life. God has such foreknowledge and foresight and predestines our lives. He knew what Judas was going to do before he actually did it. Regardless of Judas’ exposure he only accepted a part of the Jesus ministry. He never embraced it to its fullness. What he did not embrace destroyed him.

FLESH DOES NOT RULE THE BODY OF CHRIST You will have a choice: live or die. You can even rot waiting on God to do something in your ministry that He is never going to do until you get in place. God is not going to allow men to hold His people in bondage any longer. God spoke to me some months ago and it frightened me. He said the men in the Body of Christ are facing extinction. Not every woman who is a preacher wants to rule over men. Even men are not to rule over men. A gift that God gives a man works through that man to rule the house of God. The fleshy man does not rule anybody. God never gave Adam charge over men. He gave him dominionship over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air and everything that crept upon the earth. He never put him over men. When men start ruling over men, wars erupt. Every war happens because men want to rule men. God never wanted men to rule men. What causes a man to want to rule his brother? Satan created something in Adam in the Garden of Eden after he ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which has been destroying our men ever since. After God made the anointed cherub that covereth, the one we now call Satan, he decided he would seize creation and have it worship him. He wanted to rule over man. God put Adam over the world. Satan wanted to rule Adam. From the beginning, Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 there is no other desire of God but for Him to rule man.

God created this whole creation and He alone wanted to rule it. I do not believe in men ruling men or women ruling men. I do not believe flesh is to rule anything in God’s body. I believe that men and women are supposed to operate in the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Ghost who is the authority in God’s house, not flesh. EGO: THE SEED OF SATAN It was God’s intent to be supreme over creation and He gave Adam a subordinate position when given dominionship over the creation. The angels of the Lord were dispatched to ensure that Adam’s dominionship was never challenged and if so it was dealt with. The angels of the Lord worked with Adam and brought all the animals to him.

Every seed produced after its own kind. When Satan enticed Eve, and Adam sinned against God, Adam took on the characteristic of the seed in Satan . . . ego. When God described the character of the antichrist, everything the antichrist will say is, “I will.” “I will exalt my throne above that of the Most High. I will. I will.” Do you know what it is for someone to create you, and then you think you are greater than your Creator? When the creature dares to not only think he is greater than the Creator but dares to go to war with the Creator, that is ego. Satan is a fool. His ego has blinded him. He planted that same seed in Adam.

Ephesians 2:1-2

1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Verse 2 tells us, his spirit worked in the children of disobedience. That seed produced after its own kind. Adam developed an ego. GOD IS AN EXPERT AT USING YOUR SIN, YOUR DISPOSITION TO ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSE. God does not have to use only a righteous man to accomplish what He wants to be accomplished. He can use an unholy man to accomplish His purpose in somebody’s life. God can use a sinner. There is no power that operates that God did not ordain. When God came into the Garden and spoke with Adam, He realized that the spirit of Satan had entered His man when He found them hiding and ashamed. Sin entered. Adam was so in love with Eve that he preferred to die with his wife rather than stay without his wife.

God honored that. God saw Himself in the great love Adam had for Eve. Adam told God, “It’s this woman You gave me.” The weight of God’s wrath fell on the serpent and on Eve. When He got to Adam, He cursed the ground, as Adam had already inherited death, separation from God, for his sin. His punishment was working the earth to survive. Man had tended the garden, but had not had to eat to survive. God had always supplied his food. When God got to Eve, His wrath fell hard on her, but He used prudence. He always ties up all the loose ends and uses every variable to accomplish His purpose, leaving nothing out. He was so angry with Eve that He moved her from the station where He had created her. He had brought her out from Adam’s side. God was concerned that this woman had turned His man’s heart from Him and He was not only angry, but hurt. If Adam had honored his relationship with God, he could have interceded for Eve. Eve used everything she was to entice Adam to eat. In doing so, God said that Adam was still not deceived. Adam knew better. All of Eve’s desires were caught inside the sin. Once she ate, instead of repenting, she gave to her husband. All power is of God. The wages of sin is death.

C: ADAM, EVE AND THE CHURCH

God made Adam from the dirt. The scriptures say Adam was earthy, but Eve was taken out of his side. When He made Eve, He put Adam to sleep, took a rib (the only material) and made Eve. The rib was already earthy. God did not go back to the ground to make this vessel, but went to Adam. The woman is of Adam. If she had been made from the earth, she would have been an independent creature, but all of her existence, everything it took to make Eve, came from Adam. Eve represents the Church. EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO MAKE THE CHURCH COMES FROM CHRIST, THE SECOND ADAM.

No foreign substance was used to make Eve. There will be no foreign substance used to make the Bride of Christ. The Bride of Christ is going to be of Christ, will be a creature that comes out of His side, formed by His blood, a kinsman. Submission should have never been an issue. How can you fail to be in submission to what you were taken from? If you cannot submit to what you came out of, you are not worthy to carry His gospel. All truth is parallel. When a man leaves his parents and cleaves to his wife, they become one flesh. This is how God wants us to see the Church.

Ephesians 5:22

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Verse 22 says, there should be no other voice in the life of the wife other than God. Why do people get married? You get married to satisfy the flesh, have children and a legalized bed partner. Marriage is an institution of the flesh, but it is also a holy institution. If you do not understand marriage, you will not understand the Body of Christ. God wants you to see His Body, but you have to take your head out of being buried in the flesh. Let the scriptures challenge your belief systems.

1 Corinthians 7:27-35

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; Christ is the Head of the Body. If we are not willing to submit to Christ then we are not fit to carry His gospel. and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

Marriage is defined as bondage of the flesh. God certainly has nothing against marriage. He ordained it, but tells us to count the cost before we marry as an unmarried woman can serve the Lord without distraction. If you think you have to have a family, get married; remembering there may be times spouses will be apart because of ministry. It is dangerous to be stubborn in the face of the Word. God is trying to establish a mindset in the sons of God regarding this earthy creation.

God wants us to understand His mind. Everything they were involved in was of the earth. Why does He define marriage as caring for the things of the world? Because marriage is of the world, not in a sinful sense, but as natural versus spiritual. I am not saying marriage is not a spiritual or holy institution. Anything God installs is holy and spiritual. But, marriage is for fleshy beings; it is for the natural man, and it only satisfies the natural man. The spirit man does not care about marriage. Your spiritual, inner man, prefers not to be married. Marriage is allowed because of the desire of the flesh. God did not take the satisfaction of the flesh from us just because we got saved. He allowed the institution of marriage to remain because men felt they had to have a wife to keep from fornicating.

Men felt like this was the way they wanted to live their lives, having a wife and family. That is a fleshy desire. He continued marriage so you can fulfill that desire. He said there is nothing wrong with this, but He wants you to know it is an institution of the flesh with one purpose: to satisfy the flesh. It was an institution given to the flesh and God said if you decide to put the flesh in that kind of bondage, you haven’t sinned. He wants you to raise your consciousness that there is an institution of the spirit that supercedes the institution of the flesh.

Being saved does not change the laws of marriage. The woman still has to be in subjection to the husband inside this institution. If she is inside the institution of the flesh, she must care for those things that tend to her husband’s flesh. There is nothing about marriage that was designed to please God. Everything about marriage was designed to please man and woman. I have to show you God’s whole mind. I cannot bypass certain mindsets that concern certain scriptures that cause controversy. I have to tell you what they mean. Scripture tells you what it means, and scripture is plain and simple. When the mystery of God is revealed, it is always revealed with simplicity. It is man who comes up with his own opinions that are not found in the scripture. Stay with what is written. We miss God by what we think.

CHRIST: THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH

When Eve came out of Adam, submission was not an issue. She was created as a “helpmeet” to walk by his side. Before God Marriage is an institution of the flesh. created Eve there was no helpmate for Adam, and God did not want Adam to be alone. God gave them both dominionship. Although Adam was created first and was already in authority before Eve was created, she was included in the authority with Adam over planet Earth. God took a rib from this man and created a woman, which really means the womb of a man. She is the man’s womb. Because the woman is of the man, she automatically is placed in submission to the man. Anything you are created from is your superior. God said the man is the head of his own wife. There are men who walk inside of ego who think they are the head of everybody’s wife. They are not, only the head of their own, but this is where many churches are. I don’t know about here in Jamaica, but I know in the States there are men who reside as pastors who feel that when you join their church, they are the authority. Whatever they tell any woman in that church to do, she is supposed to do it. Whatever he tells any man to do, he is supposed to do it. The husbands of those wives are considered to be in rebellion if they oppose him. God said this has never been so. NO MAN IS THE HEAD OF ANY CHURCH. If you want to realize the power of your God, stay inside of His Word. Operate inside the boundaries He has set and you will grow. You will grow and you will soar like an eagle, but the moment you step outside the boundaries, you step inside your own ego. God never made a man the head of a church.

Christ maintains the headship of the Church. The Church is the Bride of Christ. Christ did not give any man charge over His Bride. You say, “Well, I’m the delegated authority.” You will not find anywhere where Christ is not the head of the Church. That which is of the bone . . . she is of him. Submission is not an issue. She is automatically subordinate. In the Garden, Eve was given the same power as Adam. Adam did not have any more power over the creation than Eve. This is where man’s ego deceives him. Because man thinks, “I am the man,” he automatically assumes he has more power than the woman. There was nothing in the Garden, no creature on planet Earth not subject to Eve. Both Adam and Eve were given the same dominionship. Now how is she subordinate to her husband?

Inside subordination is totality of power. Because she is of the man, when she operated in creation she had the same power as the man. As long as she was not in rebellion to him, she had the same power. Did not Christ say, “The works that I do you will do and greater?” He had power over all the power of the enemy. Didn’t He give His Church power over all the power of the enemy? The power to operate, the power to do the business of God is no less in the woman than that in man. If she told one of those lions “Look, you’re over there in the tiger’s church, I want you to get back over here.” Don’t you think that lion would obey her? She didn’t have to call Adam. She had the same power Adam had; the same power to subdue, God gave it to her. This subordinate relationship between her and her husband did not diminish her power as she operated in the things of God.

This is very evident today. There are women who have as much spiritual power as men . . . some even more. Eve was Adam’s wife, but when she got ready to operate in the business of God, the things that God told them to do on the earth, she did not have any less power. Do you think this woman had to call Adam every time she did something in the Garden? No! God told them to subdue the entire earth. God gave her the same power He gave Adam.

But her personage, her flesh was in submission to her husband. The fact that she was the female, the part that is to satisfy her husband was in submission to her husband. But Adam could speak to the tigers, and she could speak to the tigers. If Adam could speak to the elephants, she had power to speak to the elephants. She was not in rebellion. Just because she was a woman and in submission to her husband, did not mean she had any less power. God is using some women more than He is using some men. There are some men sitting back and getting jealous of God because He is using women. God is trying to show you how to deal with your jealousy.

He wants you to discern the Body and then kill the jealousy. If you discern the Body, you will stop the war. Both Adam and Eve were given dominionship. God is saying, “I want her to reverence her husband. I want her to obey her husband. I want her to love her husband. I want her to bestow honor upon her husband. And as long as she is doing this, she is in submission to Me. The power I put on her to operate out here in creation, in the Garden will flow. If she dishonors her husband, is in rebellion to her husband, I will not sanction her out here. As long as she is in submission to her husband, satisfying the institution of marriage, which is to satisfy the flesh, her power is the same as his. Jesus is the example because Eve represents the Church. Jesus said, “I have power from My Father, and I will send back that power to you. The same works that I do, you will do.” Is not Jesus the One to whom we are in submission? Is not the Church in submission to Him? Even though we are in submission to Him, we have the same power He has. We are the Bride. God said marriage is an example of the Church and Christ. We must understand the Body of Christ and the Church. The only way you will understand it is through the mystery of marriage. From the very beginning the bride had the same power as the husband, but she had the responsibility of subordination of her flesh to her husband.

As long as she submitted her flesh to her husband and obeyed him, she could operate in the power God gave her. If she starts disobeying her husband and being unruly, then God will cut-off the power. I can prove this with Jesus Christ. He took twelve men and gave them power to cast out demons. In fact He had more than twelve, He had eighty-two and sent them all out. They were casting out demons and came back to Jesus bragging about “Demons are subject to us because of Your Name.” And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

Luke 10:17

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

God is not a respector of persons. They kept on working. A lady came trying to get healed. “Jesus, help me, Jesus!” Those disciples said “She’s crying after us.” The lady called none of their names. She was trying to get to Jesus to get healed. Pride had set in.

Matthew 15:22-23

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

If you keep reading you will see someone was down there preaching. They went to one city, and the people would not even receive them. They came back to Jesus saying they were not being received and had been put out of the city. “Should we call fire from heaven like Elijah did and burn them up?” Jesus replied, “You don’t even know what spirit you are in.”

Luke 9:54-55

54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

Jesus gave them the power, but look where their minds were. Low and behold, one day a man came bringing his demon possessed son. “Cast this demon out of my child.” They could not. Then they went to Jesus privately after He cast the demon out and said, “Master, why couldn’t we cast it out?” Jesus said, “You perverse generation.” He called those men perverse, those very people He had chosen. “How long must I suffer you?” Jesus knew His Father had cut off the power. The Father removed the very power that the Son had given them, because they had moved out of submission to what Christ was teaching. They were no longer walking in a submissive state, and that is the same thing He will do to a woman if she does not walk in submission at home. She will not enjoy the power of God in the church or anywhere else.

D: WOMEN: LIBERATED FROM THE CURSE

Genesis 3:12-13

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? …

She said, “The serpent beguiled me.” “I will multiply thy sorrow.” She hurt God. She took God’s heart. God loved the man. He loved them. She caused that man to turn from his God. God was good to Adam. He gave Adam everything He had. Adam chose this woman over God. A woman walking under the curse experiences so much unhappiness. Men use women like merchandise. They go out and get another one, multiplying their sorrows. Women have children and their husbands lay with their children, abuse their bodies while mothers know. Some of you are sleeping with your children. Some of you molested your little boys and girls. Yes, you have, and some of your wives know it.

Not only have you been unfaithful to her, but you are robbing her children of their innocence and their ability to be children. A woman has to bear that. A man nowadays will have a baby from his wife, a baby from his child and then leave both of them and get another set and start the same cycle again. Men with unrenewed minds are like jack-rabbits. They hit, have babies and run off. They don’t know if the baby is living or dead or eating or sleeping. What does the woman do? She has to stay there and raise the child and bear the pains of the child.

She is the one who saw the child take his first step. She is the one who has to nurture the child through sickness, the one who has to take him to the hospital, to the doctors and worry about him. The man doesn’t worry. She is the one who is sorrowful because she has to raise children that do not even know their daddies. That is sorrowful for a woman to have a child that the father does not talk to or even know. That hurts a woman to look at that child every day and be reminded of that man. Women are strong. God made us strong and the things we have to go through make us so much stronger than you. You could not bear what we have to bear.

Real women do not abandon their babies. But you will abandon them and call yourself a man in doing it. You will have a child here and one there, and you do not even know if that child is being abused in the house it is in. You do not care and you do not even take the time to find out. Why? Because you are through, that episode is over and you start another episode. Who do you think is raising those children you abandoned? The women. The women have to worry about feeding that child and paying all the bills to keep a roof over the child’s head.

It is the woman who has to go out and scrub floors or whatever she has to do to get the child some school clothes. The man does not care. The man does not know what the child is doing in school or if the child is even going to school. “Offenses will come, but woe to the one who brings them.” Just because God multiplied our sorrows does not mean you are free from your guilt. It is unrighteous for a child not to know his parents. It is unholy. You can lay down and get up and go about your daily business not even knowing what is going on with your children.

You had them, abandoned them and you do not want to know anything about them. It is more convenient not to know. And God said, “You’re going to serve Me? You’re going to care for My house? You’re going to love My people so much, and have flesh and blood and don’t even know how they are faring?” Don’t be a hypocrite. This is speaking against you. People wonder what has them bound; what’s holding them back. Then you wonder why God would choose a woman. She does not care if she has five children, she is going to work, she is going to pay the bills, she is going to take care of all the babies. I know, too, that there are some bad women, but look at women as a whole. Who has your babies? Women. A woman has a baby and thinks the man will come and tell her that he loves her so much. As soon as she has the baby and the responsibility comes, you are gone. That love is gone. Then another man comes and says he loves her, and she has his baby believing he is the right one. Then he is gone. Now she has two babies with no daddies.

God allowed men to use us. Just like God uses the devil in some things today, God allowed man to use the woman. He used that seed as a punishment for the woman. The seed that was in you was a seed of Satan, full of nothing but ego. God used that because He wanted to punish the woman. He used that seed Satan created in you to punish Eve. Now, God has liberated some women from under the curse.

God has handmaidens now. He has sisters of God who have become sons of God. We are part of the Body of Christ and are no longer under the curse. If you let the enemy use you through your ego to inflict pain and sorrow in those illegitimate conceptions then it is judgment against you. This is something I learned, and that is why I grow in God. You better learn it, too!

Do not lie to yourself, and do not bypass scripture, because scripture is what binds you. You can fast and pray all you want, but when you talk about running God’s house, God says, “If you cannot run your house, you cannot run Mine.” You have children from your loins that you do not care anything about, and you are telling me you are going to fall in love with My children? You are going to fall in love with perfect strangers, and you’re going to give yourself to the church? That child is of your seed, and you have all kinds of religious reasons and excuses because you are saved now. You are bound, because that child is part of your house. Whether he is in the house with you or not, he is your seed. How do you abandon your seed? You did not learn that from Christ.

Christ did not abandon His seed. He went and found that least one wherever it was. He said “I will leave ninety-nine to go get that one which is astray.” Men in the family are so important. When Abraham’s nephew, Lot got in trouble, Abraham put everything he had on the line to go deliver his brother’s child. You won’t put anything on the line to go see about your own child; but you are going to run the house of God, and you are in love with God’s people.

NO LOVE, NO POWER No, God has a way of testing love. Love is the only thing that is going to run God’s house. Love is going to be the forerunner. LOVE IS WHAT QUALIFIES YOU FOR THE ANOINTING. A lack of love will push you on the side-line, watching God use somebody else. You get upset because you see love in operation in somebody else’s life, you see God anointing and working through others. Love is what rules the house. Love is what gets God’s favor. Love is what takes the cap off your ministry.

Love is what causes God to loose you. I refuse to be a spectator. I want to be a part of what God is doing. When God shows me that I am lacking love, I have to come up in it. God showed me I was lacking in love and in submission to my husband. You know what I started doing? I submitted more. He didn’t by-pass me because I was Dr. Banks, because I have all these revelations over the years.

What does that mean to God? It doesn’t mean anything to Him. His Word says, “Submit to your husband.” I told my husband I will submit to you in everything a wife is supposed to submit to you in. I just won’t sin against my God for you. That is the only thing I will not do. You will never see me stand still. Never. If I am off-course, God is going to tell me. All I have to know is God told me to say I am wrong. God is saying to you men, “Until you go nurture and find your own bloodlines, you have abandoned, your seed, you will never be what God wants you to be until you go see about your seed.” You’re not going to come over here and nurture God’s seed and neglect your own. That’s not God. God will not sanction that. I am not talking about everybody, because we have some good men in the Body of Christ. We have some men who will not abandon their families and who will give their lives for their families. On the other hand, we have some who are wearing pants and saying they are men, but not worthy of even being called man. This is what God is trying to change. God wants you to be a man. If you are a man, be a man. See about your household and stop trying to duck and dodge your responsibility. Some of you see men of God on television with ministries flourishing and you lust for that. You want to be out in the forefront, in the heat of the battle, out on the front line.

Do you know where you are going? You are going to sit right in front of your television to look at somebody else do the things you want to do. Somebody who has compassion and love. Somebody who will sacrifice and bend over backwards. They will do it for strangers, because they first did it for their own seed. Where is your seed? Where’s that little child who can’t even wear your name? He doesn’t even know who his daddy is. God wants you to be delivered. He wants you to stop giving occasion for the devil to accuse you before Him. The devil is standing before God accusing you. Every time God wants to dispatch or dispense some more grace in your life, so you can really minister, the devil accuses you of this. That issue is ever before God. God said, “Your egos have blinded you. You call yourself a man, the greatest creation of God, but a man carries a definition of leadership.

” A man is supposed to be a born, created leader. God is angry with you. He wants you to go back now and pick up your responsibility. You are responsible for letting your seed, your off-spring, know who produced it. You are responsible for putting some of yourself in that child. YOU DON’T ERASE CHILDREN. They exist. They are flesh and blood, and they are your flesh and blood. As long as you have an eraser by their name, God is judging you. This is hypocrisy. You are going on in the Lord striving to rise to new heights, but you have babies from women who are not saved. That woman is sitting over here saying, “He’s a preacher and I have his child. He does not even know anything about the child.

Some men have made these mistakes and have come into the knowledge of the truth, and are trying to develop a relationship with their children. But some are not. Some are just going on in God and soaring to great heights, forgetting the past. This is just one issue that has you bound. The scripture says you reap what you sow. Your harvest is always more than what you plant. And those seeds come up in places you don’t think they will. They’ll come up in ministry.

Genesis 3:16

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

This is the first time we hear the word “rule.” Rule your desire. That’s what he is doing. God put the woman’s desire in captivity. He put the woman in captivity, and made her desire captive to your will. This is why you can use them so much. Any man who uses a woman is operating under the curse. God put Eve’s desire in captivity. The man rules her by her desire, by what she wants; and she always wants a man’s affection. It takes a woman who has been liberated by God from her desire to keep a man from using her desire against her, from using her emotions and desire to be loved.

She is always looking for love, and her search for love is what you, man, can use against her. If you really give love to your wife, there isn’t anything she won’t do for you. Most women will do anything for a man who shows how much he loves her. Adam was not ruling over Eve’s desire before they sinned. God put her desire in captivity to the man, and as long as that man is using that woman’s desire for love against her, he is operating under the curse. When any woman is searching for love anywhere but in God, she is operating under the curse. To be fulfilled, a woman thinks she has to have a man, but God can fulfill her. God can be your husband now. You can get married ten times and still not be fulfilled. Man had flesh and blood he could rule, and God took all her rights from her. Read the Old Testament. Women had no rights, they were just like cattle. God was angry at that woman. You have used the woman’s search for love against her, and you have exploited women. As long as you exploit women, don’t think you’re going to soar in God’s ministry. Submission is different from subordination or rule. To be subject means voluntary submitting.

To rule means you leave me with no choice. Submission is an attitude of the heart. Submission is done because I recognize what I am to you. I recognize I am of you and I recognize that this is where God placed me. So out of my heart I submit to you. For you to rule over me means you have power over my will. When I am in submission, I give you my will. This is where men have been deceived. They want to force that rulership. When you do, you dishonor God, because submission is an act of love. Submission is supposed to be obtained by love.

GOD BROUGHT THE CHURCH INTO SUBMISSION BY LOVE. God brought the church into repentance by the goodness of God, not this iron-fisted, “I’m this and I’m that” to get people to do what you want them to do. That’s not how you get women to submit to you. That is not how you get anybody to submit to you. That is not how God gets us to submit. He gets us to submit by His goodness and His love toward us; and not by saying, “I’m God and you better do this.” No. God does not want to usurp authority over your will. God wants you to submit your will.
