"The Male Man"

Like the “mail” that comes everyday this “male” issue has been a revolving issue that seems to daily present itself; and I have sought out to find the truth behind the MALE MAN. I am going to hone in on one topic that I have seen more prevalent in my generation than any before and that is the femininity and masculinity in a male. This issue has caused a lot of hurt to our generation and has allowed a lot of confusion, which has caused the blind to lead the blind. I am going to expound on this issue with the Word, Spirit, and the revelation that I received this morning.

First, what does the bible say about man??? Genesis 1:26-27 says, Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness”…So God created man in His [own] image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. As the world uses these terms “masculinity” and “femininity,” they are referring to the feelings (also way of thinking) and behaviors of human beings. Men are projected to be masculine and women are projected to be feminine, but it is possible for men and women to possess qualities (feelings and behaviors) characteristic of the opposite gender. Before I go on, I want to explain a little more on a perspective I found as I examined the scriptures a little deeper. In Genesis 1 it talks about God making man in His image and likeness, but it did not go on to say He actually created them right then. Gen 2:7  is where you find God actually creating Adam (man/male) out of the dust of the ground and breathing life into him. Could it be that Adam possessed both  masculinity and femininity? It is not until after God had created all the beast of the field and every bird of the air that there was not found a helper comparable to him, and so God in all His love and power caused a deep sleep to come over Adam and took a rib out of him and made it into a woman (Gen 2:21-22). Could it be that God pulled the femininity out of Adam and created the woman to posses this quality, I mean in v.23 it says, “She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." It seems to make sense huh?!?

God knew (and always knows best) that the two natures would need to live together to fulfill His plans of destiny. This is why Gen 2:24 says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” So with God creating both male and female, and designing them to each posses their own gender qualities, how did we ever get to the place where men are feminine and women are masculine? There seems to be an identity crisis going on and the enemy is capitalizing on it. There are so many things that could cause the femininity in the male; for instance, a spiritually absent father or no father at all. Feminine males typically perceive an inner lack in reference to certain issues of spiritual masculinity. This shortage drives them to join with someone of the same gender in order to make up for the lack they unconsciously sense in themselves. At the end of the rope I think what they truly desire is based upon what they get, and for the most part that is their lost manhood found in the physical image of another man, which manifests homosexuality. The females’ on the other hand develop masculinity out of fear of harm from the male, for fear is common to the feminine mind. I have also heard and seen of many females being sexually abused as children or encountered some form of masculine harm. This can be very tricky, because most females who have been harmed become anti-male yet develop masculinity like a male to provide and care for themselves or make up for what was not given. Gathering my words, masculinity is the motivating spiritual power for both male and female homosexuality. (Note: Not all male and female homosexuals develop the qualities of the opposite gender, I am speaking of the ones that do)

So with all this said…..what is the answer to all the confusion? This is what I asked the Holy Spirit as I begin to lay my broken heart before the Lord in seek of the truth, that I might shine the light into darkness and bring hope to those who need it. First and foremost you must place yourself in love, which is taking your thoughts, cares, and emotions out of this world and grounding them in love (Christ). You cannot care or be distracted by what the world thinks, because you might be the only voice of Godly influence in that person’s life. The Lord took me to this scripture in Romans 4:17 which says, “in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” Notice in the same verse it says He speaks life and calls things that do not exist as though they did. In essence we are made in His image therefore we should do the things our Father does and that is speak life to these people and call out their true identity even if you can’t see past the femininity or masculinity. You see I learned the more you speak or call out the femininity of a male the more it comes out, because they already have a lack of masculinity and you are building their femininity even more with your words. To illustrate this think of yourself as a mirror; so a feminine male comes around you and all you do is reflect what you see and not what you know. Do you think that person will feel more feminine or masculine? If you said feminine you are right….we should never reflect to them what we see(femininity), but what we KNOW! Call those things which you do not see as though you see them. If you begin to do this you will see that the feminine qualities will begin to be pulled out (as God pulled the woman out of the man) and the masculine qualities will begin to take over and their true identity will arise. The Word says you will eat the fruits of your mouth whether death or life (Proverbs 18:20-21), so speak life! One spiritual father told me, “Chase, the world says you will believe it when you see it, but I am telling you that you will see it when you believe it!”

SPEAK LIFE & CALL OUT WHAT YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SEE!
