Keepers at Home

What is the mind of Christ regarding women being homemakers? Is it the will of God
for Christian women to pursue careers outside of the home? Is there a norm, a standard role
within the home that Yahweh has appointed for women who aspire to godliness? Are there
exceptional cases where God will direct a woman to deviate from this pattern to fulfill some
other purpose that He has determined?
As I begin to delve into these issues, let me affirm that Yahweh does have a specific
plan and purpose for the life of every son and daughter. The Scriptures reveal that God has
a predetermined path appointed for everyone who comes to Him. He has prepared every
work beforehand that the saints in Christ are to accomplish.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Yahshua for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

A foundational theme that Yahweh has directed me to proclaim to His people (men
and women) is that He does have a very specific will and plan for each of our lives. Our
success as Christians, as sons and daughters of God, will be determined by our
perceptiveness in identifying God’s will for our lives, and our obedience to do all that He has
determined. To be a disciple of Christ we must lay down our own plans and agendas and
embrace wholeheartedly that path God has chosen for us.
The second book which the Spirit of Christ directed me to write was titled Sabbath.
This book explores the spiritual meaning of Sabbath rest. The church has largely focused
on the types and shadows of Sabbath in the Old Testament. They see the laws relating to the
cessation of labor one day out of the week. These Old Testament laws and ordinances were
given to direct the saints to the substance of Sabbath rest to be obtained in Christ. The Son
of God was the first man to ever fulfill the Sabbath rest of God. Paul defines this rest in the
following words.

Hebrews 4:9-10
There remains therefore a [Sabbath] rest for the people of God. For he who has
entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

True Sabbath rest is defined as ceasing from our own works, those things our soul
would direct us to do. Sabbath rest is living daily to accomplish the will of the Father.
Sabbath rest is Christ living in and through the people of God.
Yahshua is our pattern man. He always lived to do the will of the Father. He never did
any work that arose from His own soul, His own intellect, will, or emotions. He was
perfectly surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit. He did only those things the Father
revealed to Him to do.

John 5:19-20
“Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees
