!!!RECEIVE GOOD NEWS!!! ...THE SUBMISSION... Submission is something you decide to do, not something someone forces you to do. The meaning of the word submit is to submit yourself. Its a condition of the heart. Having a submitted heart means you are willing to submit yourself and come into proper alignment in accordance with Gods will. Our first priority in submission must always be to submit to God (James 4:7). This means you do not have to submit to the wishes of anyone who ask you to do something that is against Gods commands. You can have a submitted heart and still be able to draw the line when what is being asked of you violates your conscience and the law of God. For example, if a person who is a designated authority over your life asks you to do something that is wrong, or if that person says or does something to you that is inappriate and violates what is right in the sight of God, you must decline to be a party to it and declare it to be wrong. But you dont have to scream at the person saying, You idiot! You fool! What is the matter with you? Get behind me, Satan! Instead, give them a respectful explanation such as, With all due respect, I believe that what you are asking me to do is a violation of the laws of God, And I could not with any good conscience do it, knowing it would bring God,s judgement on us both. Or What you just said and did to me is offensive in the eyes of God, and I must tell you that such inappropriate behavior will not serve either of us well Jesus Himself was submitted to God. His priorities were definitely in order. God wants that This Mind be in You which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (Philipians 2:5-8).
