12-Mar Numbers 29-30 1 Cor. 7-8 Psalms 51-55 Proverbs 12

Num 30:3-5 (NIV) 3 "When a young woman still living in her father's house makes a vow to the Lord or obligates herself by a pledge 4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand. 5 But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the Lord will release her because her father has forbidden her.

Numbers chapter 29 lay out the authority of the home.  The fact is that any pledge made in the name of the home is subject to the authority of the home.  God has instituted the man/husband/father as the head of the home in order that true order, peace, and foundational, functional growth can take place. Without the "rule of law", and a solid foundational understanding of authority, nothing can grow, multiply, or function properly.  In a home where there is no functional order of authority, chaos and disorder will rule.  This is the danger of a home without a father, or a home where the man has relinquished his authority. Likewise, a man/man or woman/woman home cannot function properly in God's divine order of authority, and chaos will rule over inner peace and sanctuary.

All authority comes from God.  Any authority, or an authority experiment outside of God is an exercise in futility and vanity.  Babylon was a human experiment on authority, unity, and agreement outside of God's plan.  It ended in disfunction because God came down and cursed it. He saw that man's overt rebellion and his new creation of a psudo authority would actually work unless He got involved.  God's commitment to authority is that He will dismantle, judge, and destroy anything that rises up outside of His divine plan.

This is why it's important for everyone to submit to His authority, His plan, and His will.  To build a life outside of God's design is an exercise in futility which will be judged and dismantled at the end.  

There is only way I personally know to be received at the end fo your life with the words, "Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with little. Now enter into your master's happiness."  That way is to find your CORE VISION STATEMENT which comes from God, and then to pursue that core vision with all of your heart, mind, soul, and body.  Filter out all non profitable thieves of time, bad relationships, and anything that will bring chaos and disorder.  Focus on what is important, not what's urgent.  Build according to Heaven's plan for your life, and you will be rewarded for what you have done.  COMPASS GUIDE is the culmination of this last paragraph, so that you walk in Heaven's authority every day of your life.  COMPASS GUIDE will keep you from wrong decisions, wrong directive movements, and from building a tower called Babyl which will be dismantled and discontinued.  Grab a Compass Guide now if you haven't gotten one yet, and start the divine process of submitting your life under Heaven's authority.
