ASPECTS OF THE MALE'S ASSIGNMENT!!! PART 2!!!!

Genesis chapter 1







Today we are walking in: Aspects Of The Male's Assignment Part 2!!!!!










Today we look to the word- CREATE- H1254- bara’ - create, creator, choose, make, cut down, dispatch, done, make fat









The Torah testifies……………




Genesis 1:1




In the beginning God created H1254 the heaven and the earth.










The Prophets proclaim…………………




Isaiah 4:5




And the LORD will create H1254 upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.









The Writings witness……………………




Psalm 51:10




Create H1254 in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.








We have completed the Method style of study this morning reviewing, (CREATE) First we recognize the standard set in the Torah and 613 principles, then we search the witnesses in the books of the Prophets (Nevi’im), and the books of the Writings (Ketuvim) collectively the Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim are identified as the TANAKH which is the Old Testament’s proper title, and is the only Word that Yeshua studied & referenced throughout the New Testament.










Six Aspects of the Male’s Assignment




The male‘s assignment has revealed six specific purposes that Yah created the man to fulfill: visionary, leader, teacher, cultivator, provider, and protector. If every man could live out these six things, he would begin to realize his true purpose as a male. Any man who does not understand these elements will experience great frustration—which some of you are experiencing right now. To be a strong man means to discover, understand, and fulfill these basic aspects of purpose. These areas are so crucial that we will look at them in more detail in later teachings.




It is important to realize that although some of the traditional male roles reflect these purposes, much of the gender confusion and many of the other problems we‘re having in our societies have come from our interpretation of these roles. For example, as we saw, being a provider means supplying not only financial support but also emotional and intellectual support. A man whose wife makes more money than he does but who is doing his utmost to work a job and to fulfill these needs can still be a good provider. We need to focus on Yah‘s purpose, rather than roles.




Yah will enable men to fulfill their true purpose as they look to Him for guidance and help.




I also want to emphasize that because these areas have to do with the male‘s purpose, the ability to fulfill them is already in his nature. Many people don‘t understand how close the relationship is between purpose and nature. The nature of a man reveals who he is and how he functions.




A Complete Man Is Still Alone




All these purposes for the male were given to him by Yah before the creation of the female. This is a vital point to remember: it is the man who is already living and working in his purposes about which Yah says, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (Gen. 2:18). You might not think that a man who has a close relationship with Yah, who understands his role as foundation, who has been given the vision, who can lead, teach, cultivate, provide, and protect, needs anyone else. Yet even a man who knows and lives in his purpose is not complete, according to Yah. The male needs a companion, someone to be his helper—not as a subordinate or a sidekick, but as an equal partner with a complementary purpose. This is as true for single men as it is for married men. Men need women as fellow workers and colleagues in this world if they are to fulfill their purpose in life.




The Creation of the Female




When Yah placed the spirit-man in the male, Yah and man still maintained a relationship of love through their spirits. However, because the man now had a physical body, he also needed someone with whom he could share his life on earth, someone with whom he could express emotional and physical love.




Genesis 2:20 tells us, “So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.

But for Adam no suitable helper was found.” Yah presented every animal to the man, but none was suitable for him. There was no one to whom he could relate, no one who could help him in his proprietorship of the earth. So Yah said, in effect, ―It‘s not good for man to be alone in one body. It is impossible for love to love alone. So Yah created the

woman, the female-man. The primary purpose of the female was to receive love from the male, just as Yah‘s major purpose for creating the spirit-man was to have a relationship of love with mankind. Having dominion over the earth was secondary.




1. Of the Same Substance and Essence as the Male




The method that Yah used to create the female is significant to our understanding of the relationship between males and females:




The Most High Yah caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man‟s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Most High Yah made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. (Gen. 2:21–22)




Just as Yah had drawn man from Himself and created him as a spiritual being, He drew the woman out of the man and made her a physical being. This parallel in creation illustrates the oneness and mutual love that Yah and man and male and female were created to have.




The word “rib” in Genesis 2:22 is the Hebrew word tsela. It does not necessarily mean a rib as we understand the word. It could mean ―side or ―chamber. The Scripture is telling us that Yah drew the woman from a part of the man. Why? It is because the receiver has to be exactly like the giver. Just as man needed to be spirit in order to receive love from Yah and be in relationship with Him, the woman needed to be of the same essence as the man in order to receive love from him and be in relationship with him.




That is why Yah did not go back to the soil to fashion another house when He formed the female. If He had done that, she would not have been the exact duplicate of the man. She would not have been made of the essence of the male, the way humanity was made of the essence of Yah. So Yah took just what was needed from the male to make an exact replica, and He created the woman.




Now, while males and females are of the same essence, and while the woman is a replica of the man, Yah actually made them using different methods. The Bible says that the man was “formed” of the dust of the earth (Gen. 2:7). The Hebrew word for “formed” is yatsar, meaning to ―mold, as a potter molds clay. However, the Bible says that Yah “made” the woman (v. 22). The Hebrew word for “made” is banah, which means to ―build or ―construct.




So there was this beautiful structuring in the creation of woman. When Yah had finished making her, she was just like the man. She was so much in likeness to him that, when Yah presented her to him, his first words were, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,‟ for she was taken out of man” (v. 23). And she became his wife. The man‘s words are both beautiful and instructive. Something that is built has the same components as the material from which it is made or from which it comes. Therefore, Yah built the female out of the part that He took from the male so that they would be made of exactly the same substance.




2. The Male’s Perfect Complement




The female-man is the perfect complement to the male- man. Because the woman came from the man, the man is essentially the giver, and the woman is essentially the receiver. Yah fashioned the woman to be the receiver. If you look at the way the female body is made, she is a receiver from A to Z. Her receiving complements the male‘s giving. The woman is like the man because the receiver has to be of the same essence as the giver. However, in order for the woman to be the receiver, she also has to be different from the man.




Though the woman was built to be like the man, she is also a distinct creation. This fact is highlighted in her physical difference from the man in that she is able to bear children. You could say that a woman is a ―wombed man. She is a man with a womb. She is still the same as a male, but she has certain differences. These differences are complementary in nature and are designed so that the male and female can fulfill one another‘s emotional and physical needs while they are spiritually nourished by Yah and His love—and so that together they can fulfill their mandate to have dominion over the world. Therefore, men and women were created with complementary designs that reflect their individual roles in the larger purposes for which they were created.




3. The Male’s Yah-Given Companion




When Yah said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (Gen. 2:18), He was saying, in essence, ―I will make someone who will solve the male‘s aloneness.




Now, Adam did not go looking for a wife. She was Yah‘s idea for him. Adam was so busy doing what Yah had told him to do that he didn‘t even know he needed a woman. Yah had to tell him, ―Man, it‘s not good for you to be alone. Note that Yah didn‘t say Adam was lonely. There is a difference between ―being alone and ―being lonely.




You can be lonely in a crowd, but you can be alone and be as happy as a lark. There is nothing wrong with being alone at times. The Bible tells us that it‘s important to be alone and quiet before the Most High. Yahusha often made it a point to go off by Himself in order to pray and rest. Being alone can be healthy, but loneliness is a disease.




Have you noticed that people who are suffering from loneliness never can go into their houses and just sit down in the quiet? As soon as they get inside, they run for the television and click it on. They have to have something going on that will occupy their minds. When they can‘t find anything on television that they like, then they run to their music. When they become bored with music, they try something else. They keep doing things in order to stay occupied. Why? Because they‘re not comfortable with themselves. They can‘t stand being alone.




Some of you single men and women are afraid of being alone. When you hit age twenty-five, you begin to think you‘re past your prime, and so you say to yourselves, ―I‘m never going to get married. I‘d better latch onto the first thing that comes along. That‘s the reason many people marry spouses who aren‘t right for them. Do you know what the problem is? They haven‘t learned what it means to be a whole person.




Adam was so together as a man that he didn‘t even know he was alone. He was busy obeying Yah‘s Word; he was so occupied with dominating, ruling, and subduing; he was so lost in what he was doing, that he didn‘t know he needed somebody. But most of us do the reverse. We don‘t have time for Yah because we‘re busy trying to find a mate.




Some people run from community to community looking for a spouse. They think we preachers don‘t know what they‘re up to. They don‘t go to community to worship Yah; instead, they walk around checking out the opposite sex. They say, ―Huh, that‘s a nice one over there. Really cool. Instead, they‘re supposed to be getting themselves together so they can be ready for the one whom Yah is preparing for them. Become so preoccupied and consumed by Yah that you don‘t walk around with a passion that‘s looking for a place to happen.




Adam was so prepared for Eve that when he saw her, all he said was, ―Woooo-man! But you see, he didn‘t go looking for her. Yahusha talked about the attitude we should have when He said, in effect, ―Don‘t worry about what you‘re going to eat, what you‘re going to wear, or whom you‘re going to marry. Seek first the kingdom of Yah. Become immersed in His righteousness. Then your mate will be added to you. (See Matthew 6:31–33.)




Become like Adam—get lost in the garden of Yah‘s righteousness. Get lost in Yah, because when He brings you a spouse, you had better understand His ways. Adam was so busy following the command of Yah that, when his mate came along, he was ready, and it was the right time for him.




4. The Male’s “Suitable Helper”




So the woman was Yah‘s idea. He made the woman specifically so that the man could have somebody with whom to enjoy creation and share the dominion of the earth.




Yah said, “I will make a helper suitable for him” (Gen. 2:18). The King James Version uses the words “help meet” rather than “helper suitable” as in the New International Version or “helper comparable” as in the New King James Version. “Help meet” is not a Hebrew expression, and it‘s not a holy phrase. When King James ordered an English translation of the Scriptures at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the translators used the words that were common at the time to explain various concepts. Helpmeet or helpmate are

words that developed in the English language based on this King James translation, and they have remained in the language. However, because our use of words has changed, they do not fully capture the concept the Bible is conveying here about the role of the woman.




The woman is not just someone who helps here and there while the men do the real work. “Meet” actually means ―fit—something that is suitable, compatible, or comparable. This means that females are a perfect match for males in fulfilling Yah‘s purposes.




Yah designed the woman to fulfill her purpose of being a compatible helper for the man. Everything in her is designed to help. Now, the last thing many men want women to believe is that they need their help. Yet Yah announced from the beginning that a man needs a woman‘s help. Again, this is true for all men, not just married men. Males need females not only in the family, but in society, in all of life.




One of the reasons our nations are so troubled is that males don‘t know their own purpose or the purpose of females. Many men don‘t run their homes properly because they walk around saying, ―I am the final authority. They don‘t realize that the women Yah gave them are a blessing and that they are there to help them carry out their vision. If you as a man—whether married or single—believe that you don‘t need women, you are missing an important aspect of your existence.




Many males with whom I‘ve been in contact over the years believe that women were put on earth by Yah to destroy them. They think that everything a woman does is conniving and scheming. They don‘t understand the true nature and purpose of women. If you don‘t understand why something is the way it is, you will become suspicious of its nature.




For example, sometimes the help that a woman brings a man is interpreted as a threat. He sees it as her trying to take his position. Many men don‘t understand the value of the woman in her purpose as helper. So when a woman wants to be a part of what a man is doing, he thinks she‘s interfering. Yet she is the way she is because of why she was created. She wants to know what you‘re doing that she can‘t help with. What could be so secretive, so deep?




Women who are kept at a distance by men keep on reaching out, trying to help, but the men see them as a nuisance and say, ―Mind your own business. This is a man‘s world; find your place. Well, her place is right next to you, helping you. If she can‘t help you, she will help something—or someone—else.




Some of these precious women are so talented, so experienced in all kinds of things. They have excellent educations, are very accomplished, and are ready to help their husbands or other males in any way they can, but the men get flippant with them because they don‘t understand Yah‘s plan.




One of the reasons for this is that some men can‘t handle the presence of a complete woman. My friend, you‘re not a strong man until you can handle the weight of a real woman—I‘m talking about a real woman. Some women are off balance. However, there are some real women in the world, and it takes a real man to be a support for them. Many women are loaded with gifts and anointing. Because women have such an awesome capability to help, most men feel powerless when their helper shows up. Why? Because they were never taught what a man is all about and don‘t know how to fulfill their own purpose.




Do you ever wonder why the community is so filled with women? Often, it is because they don‘t have anything to help with at home. Do you know why your wife leaves you to go to community? You don‘t have any vision in the home, so she goes to community and helps this minister with his vision. She helps in the children's community because she has a need to contribute.




Some women even help men do wrong things if they can‘t find men doing right things. A man may tell a woman, ―You wait in the car while I rip off this store, and she feels good about it, because she is doing something to help him. She feels worthy. She feels valuable to this man. Some women carry drugs and do deals for their kingpin boyfriends. Do you wonder how they can do that? In a warped way, they are seeking to be fulfilled, to have their needs met.




The Abuse of Purpose




Remember one of our principles: where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable? When men and women misunderstand their purposes, then these purposes will be abused in some way. It is a misunderstanding of purpose that has pulled men and women away from Yah‘s original design in creation. This has resulted in a false idea of dominion and of the relationship between males and females that is causing confusion and conflict between them. As long as we allow this to continue, we won‘t live fulfilled lives as men and women, and society will continue to decline.




It all started with the male and female thinking they knew their true purpose better than Yah did. Let‘s look next at the implications of this tragic misjudgment.




Principles




1. The male‘s purpose was chosen by Yah.




2. The male was made to serve the needs of man (the spirit)

on earth and to enable him to fulfill his purpose.




3. The purpose of the male may be summed up as his priority, his position, and his assignment.




4. The male‘s priority means that he was formed first in order to be the foundation of the human family.




5. The male‘s position means that he is to remain continually in Yah‘s presence. Without this, he cannot function in Yah‘s purposes.




6. Yah never intended for Adam to move from the Garden. He intended for the Garden of His presence to move over the earth.




7. Yah intended for the man to grow in dominion ability by first learning to rule the Garden.




8. The male‘s assignment includes six specific purposes he is meant to fulfill: visionary, leader, teacher, cultivator, provider, and protector.




9. Yah has designed and equipped the male to carry out every purpose and function he has been given.




10. Yah allowed Adam to name Eve because He wanted the male to be totally responsible for the female.




11. It is the male who is already living and working in his purposes about which Yah says, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (Gen. 2:18).




12. The female was drawn from the male and is made of the same essence as the male.




13. The female is the male‘s perfect complement and equal partner in the purposes of Yah.




14. The female is the male‘s Yah-given companion. She is Yah‘s idea for the man.




15. The female is the male‘s ―suitable helper. Everything about her is designed to help the man.
