God Is Not The Author Of Confusion, But Rather The Way, The Truth, And The Life Forevermore - Part 1853

Christ is the Head of every man. 

"For a man ought not to cover his head (veiled), forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God." (I Corinthians 11:7) 

Man represents the likeness, image and supremacy of God. Every man praying, prophesying or preaching with his head covered dishonours his head. He disgraces his head. He dishonours Him who is his head. In fact, the scriptures, "Does not even nature itself teach us that if a man has long hair, it is a shame to him?"

This is a natural irreversible principle illustrated by natural law to all generations, that it is degrading for a man to wear long hair. Nature simply teaches by illustration making a man to have thinning hair or he simply goes bald. On the other hand, every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head. This instruction (elaborated on by apostle Paul) is evidenced in that Eve was from Adam -- to be loved of him and to be cared for by him, inasmuch as she is a helpmate.

Both together then ought to function as one flesh. A woman’s long hair by nature is a glory to her. Nature provided a covering of long hair which is a glory to her. There is no need to cover her natural covering with another material covering unless her hair has been shorn. Then she ought to materially cover her short hair. And, for further confirmation, Paul writes that a woman has angels upon her head -- a topic certainly worthy of exploration, but for another day.

The point is this. These ordinances are delivered to us so that we, both male and female can respond by saying. "Be it so done in me according to Your Word, O Lord." 

Still, we observe that the aforementioned ordinances are discarded by most today. However, by mankind’s non-compliance, the Word of God is not rendered irrelevant. Each person will still stand before his or her Creator and give an account to Him as to their stance. For as the scriptures state, "Let God be true and every man a liar," -- and likewise, all those who oppose these truths bear their own burden. This is not intended to be legalistic, as some might claim, but to understand that the Lord Himself is showing us a better way, a more abundant way of life, when we desire His instruction and guidance. 

Thus, as we see herein, God has sent His Word for the healing and restoration of a fallen race. As such, His Word is coming to you so that you can decide whether to follow the Lord God Almighty (His Name JESUS in this current dispensation of grace) with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Mark 12:29-31; Deuteronomy 6:4) 

And for clarification, the first commandment also states, "Hear O Israel the Lord thy God is ONE LORD!" (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:5-6)

Hopefully, this short presentation enlightens all of us to understand that God is a God of order. We might say there is a pecking order which, when maintained as God’s plan, we the created, now redeemed children of God, can willingly bow the knee to our great God who is one Spirit. The Spirit of the Holy One. God is the master mind, and He has made Himself known in created form as Jesus. His only begotten Son (not Begat, Begotten) of the Holy Ghost. He purchased us at Calvary redeeming us, by and through the sacrifice of Himself. Once and only once was He sacrificed. ONLY ONCE. We are complete in Him! (Hebrews 9:8, 15-18)

We have also read that the Spirit of God is the Head of the man Christ Jesus (I must be about My Father’s business). And Christ is the head of man (if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creation). And man is the head of the woman (Adam was first formed then Eve). All of these things originate from the same Spirit of the Lord God who moved across the face of the waters in the very beginning.

And this same Lord God has a plan to fulfill in your life. Reach out and desire His ways, His instruction, His guidance, for He never fails. Indeed, Jesus said, "I will never leave nor forsake you." Good counsel and indeed God counsel. Let the Word of God dwell within your heart. Study to show thyself approved unto God, as doth a workman, so that ye too can rightly divide the Word for your edification and learning. (II Timothy 2:15)
