A Woman’s Influence

a womans influence

For some time now, I have believed that we women have far more influence than many of us realize. Many words have been used to describe this phenomenon. But, simply put, men cannot resist us. At least, not for very long.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for her …
                         ~ Ephesians 5:25

When you understand how much you mean to him and know how to fulfill your purpose in his life, any man with reasonable emotional health responds naturally with all the love and tenderness you desire from him.

[callout]Yes, for those of you who are wondering,
most men are reasonably healthy.[/callout]

They just express it differently than we do.
And isn’t that what draws us to them in the first place?
What we love so much about them? What we adore?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • What methods do most women use to influence men today?
  • Do men respond well to their woman’s influence?
  • Or do they tune her out?

A Man’s Passion for Life

male passion

Without a doubt, a wife’s decision to submit to her husband doesn’t get the best press in today’s culture. Such a woman is thought to be a bit on the crazy side … or not too bright. But nothing could be further from the Truth!

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for her ….
                         ~ Ephesians 5:25

Yes, Scripture instructs a woman to live for her husband.

But when you read the entirety of Ephesians 5, you realize she doesn’t have the more difficult role. Her husband does … because he must be willing to die for her!

The simple fact of the matter is that nothing inspires a godly man more than experiencing the Beauty of his wife.

  • He’s naturally drawn to her strength as she basks in the Joy of the Lord.
  • His heart and soul are softened by the Fruit of the Spirit flowing from her.

And as she chooses to honor him as her leader – to submit to him out of trust and respect for who he is and for who he is becoming – the fullness of his Passion for life automatically propels him forward toward his destiny!

To fulfill his God-Given Purpose in life,
a man must access his Male Passion.

And a wise woman knows how to build up her husband and thereby increase his Masculine Passion to fuel the Power he needs to Produce results.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • Have you observed any couples who live this way today?
  • How do they do it?
  • Have you asked?

God is First. Always.

god first

Every Good Thing Begins With God. God is calling us to Love. Yet His Love is so hard to grasp. Therefore, His Love must grasp US first. For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:36)

There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)

There is no fear in love.
We need to know that kind of love.
So that we can love with that kind of love.

God must be First. Always. In all things.

The words of the song “Lead Me” by Sanctus Real provide a clear description of the pressure a man feels as a leader … and emphasize his desperate need for God’s help to be the leader He wants him to become. If you haven’t heard it, check it out on YouTube.

Therefore, the First Thing every Man needs to become the Leader he wants to be is … Jesus!

He is absolutely The Essential One, not only for a man’s well-being, but also for his family’s well-being. If a man is a Christian, he must reconnected with Him daily … if not moment-by-moment (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

[callout]If you’ve not yet invited Jesus into your life, you can do so now.
He’s with you – wherever you are in the process of life
– and eagerly waiting to hear from you!
It’s simple. Just talk to Him.[/callout]

An Unstoppable Team: Man, Woman, and The Lord

When a Godly Woman is the willing recipient of the fullness of God’s Love, she is free to love her Man in ways she could not have loved him if she were merely on her own.

Her Man benefits from being loved by her. He receives the love and moral support he needs to be able to lead well as he …

  • Listens to her.
  • Is her hero (i.e., treats her like a lady).
  • Pays attention to her response to his leadership.
  • Asks for what he needs from her (in addition to a great sex life in marriage).
  • And most of all, is courageous enough to allow himself to be vulnerable with her.

The Bottom Line: God is First. Always. In all things.

A Godly Woman receives love from God, loves God in return, then loves her Man out of her own fullness. And as her Man receives love from God, she gets to delight in following a Godly Man who knows how to lead gently and confidently. It’s irresistible joy!

We love because He first loved us.
(1 John 4:19)
