To live a life that fully experiences the power and presence of God, it's essential to embrace the structure and order established by Him. This begins with understanding the importance of authority and submission in every aspect of life, including the church, home, and personal spiritual journey.

In a church community, spiritual responsibility should not rest solely on one leader. Instead, there should be a distribution of responsibilities among capable individuals, each playing their part under divine guidance. This mirrors the biblical example where leaders like Moses were advised to appoint elders to share the burden of leadership. By doing so, the community functions more effectively, and the flow of God's power is not restricted to a single person.

In the home, the relationship between a husband and wife should reflect the divine order, where both roles are fulfilled in alignment with God's design. A husband's role involves sacrificial love, while a wife’s submission is not about subservience but about honoring the divine structure for a harmonious relationship. This order invites God’s blessing and opens the door for spiritual forces, such as angels, to operate freely in one's life.

The importance of maintaining this divine order extends beyond the church and home into every area of life. Whether in business, relationships, or personal conduct, living in alignment with God's principles attracts His favor and allows for the full expression of spiritual gifts and authority.

Ultimately, to carry the weight of spiritual responsibility effectively, one must be in alignment with God's word and structure. This alignment not only enhances personal spiritual growth but also contributes to the collective strength and vitality of the entire community. It is through understanding and living out this divine order that believers can truly steward the power of God in their lives, making a lasting impact in their spheres of influence.
