If this episode stirred something deeper and you’re ready to move from insight into surrender, I created a short guided experience called From Awareness to Surrender.

This mini course includes three short teachings, a guided exercise, and a prayer recorded over you to help you stop cycling and start responding differently—rooted in surrender, not striving.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome back to the High Level Wife podcast. I'm Chelsea Holm, your hostess with the Mostus, just kidding. Most is grace and mercy, that's for sure. Um, as you're listening to this, it's it's a little bit after I have recorded it, obviously. I do record in advance. Um, but as I'm recording it, I just got off of our High Level Wife group coaching call today. And I'll tell you what, we have been meeting every single week since January of 2025. So now we're going on 16, I think 16 months of God showing up and me trusting that when I open my mouth, he is gonna speak through me his message for exactly what these wives need to hear. And he's been doing this for 16 months in a row, week after week, Tuesday after Tuesday. And it's not because of me, it's not because I plan these things out. Literally, I showed up to today's call, not knowing, uh, maybe a few moments before, not really knowing what the Lord wanted me to speak. And it just so happened, my Bible was open to Galatians, and as we were in War Room, I always had my Bible with me. War room is where we pray over the wives. Some why any any wife can pray, but this is where me and some of the other leaders and the other wives in the group we pray actively over. We pick up our weapons of war against the things in the spirit that we cannot see, and we go to war for one another. We it's war room on our knees, submitting to the dominion and authority of God, the one who is able to make a way where there isn't a way and speak into existence that which does not exist. So I always have my Bible open because I love praying God's word back to him. And so I had my Bible open and it was open to Galatians. And during War Room, I happened to look down, and immediately, just moments before our Zoom group Zoom coaching call, I saw for freedom, Christ has set us free, stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Something you need to understand, and you might be experiencing this yourself, is that we women will lead and we will manage and we will run the show and control out of necessity. However, God did not create us for that kind of yoke and that kind of heavy burden. That is a yoke of slavery. Those are old navigational patterns to keep us safe. They are patterns of self-protection, self-reliance is a pattern of self-protection. Because if you control everything, then you can minimize the potential hurts from those around you. And so I I by the Holy Spirit brought this to the call. Right? And if you continue on in Galatians 5, it talks about you were running well, who hindered you from obeying the truth?

Right?

A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. Right? And and this is pretty pretty harsh, but I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves, for you are called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Okay? Like this is what the Lord was speaking through me today on the call. Because women come in, they have this heavy, heavy yoke, this burden that is crushing them because God did not design them to function that way in marriage. God designed them to function in submission as help meets to their husbands out of reverence for Christ, to respect them, to support them, to be their easer connego, their vital assistants. That God only uses that term to describe himself and how he supported and helped the Israelites. Okay, that is the function that God has given us. And when we step outside of that function, we get crushed over time. Because you can't work in that function and that capacity for long without completely guarding yourself against the softness and the vulnerability and the life-giving atmosphere creation of what it is to be a woman. You can't do it. You have to move into the masculine, you have to move into the forced leadership of managing everything that that is a self-protection mechanism, right? It's it's feeding off that lie of if I don't do it, who else will? If if if I don't keep all these balls in the air, they'll drop and it's all on me, right? I gotta figure it out. I if I have to figure it out, that means I'm also the solution. That means I also have to carry the solution forward. And that is too heavy of a burden to sit on your shoulders. Can I get an amen? If you are feeling this crushing weight right now, but you know, and I'm here to tell you that God has a better way. For freedom, Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. And so this was the message today on the call. And let me tell you, I was able to share some personal testimony with um for my husband, which I will not share here yet. Maybe at some point we will we will share that together here on the podcast. But right now, I reserve that for those in my community on there. And because I shared that testimony, we had wife after wife coming forward and sharing similar testimonies, um, and and just being so encouraged in the spirit and filled by the spirits that uh those moments of deep community and unity. And also, we had other women who were spurred on to share what the message that God gave them to share with other women outside of high-level wife just today. And so I invited them in to share that, and it just all fits so perfectly. And so I just I'm just so excited because this is this is where I see God's delight, and I get to taste and see his goodness every single day because not only did God restore the years in my own marriage of the locust to Eaton and um redeemed what was completely broken and reconciled us, and also brought deep healing and wholeness in and through both of us, and developed this testimony that he placed in us that now we get to use for the good and saving of many, right? Uh, the good of others and the saving of many. Not only that, but I get to taste and see the goodness of the Lord's hand at work in other marriages, in other wives, in other wives that were submitted to this yoke of slavery, that are now walking in Holy Spirit, God transformation of freedom. I get to taste that and see that every single day. And this call today was one of those just on steroids moments of just testimony after testimony and just joy and just oneness in the body of Christ amongst these women, and also getting to see how God is then using even within the call of sharing the testimony for the good of others and the saving of many. And so I share this with you to encourage you that if you are suffocating under a burden, a heavy yoke of slavery, there is a better way and to call you out of it. And the only way to get out from under that is to submit fully, to surrender fully to God, to be the broken ground so that He can work in you and through you to bring the transformation that you are so desperate for, to bring the healing, to bring the refinement, to bring the freedom, to break the yoke of slavery and set you free. And here's the cool thing about wives and our function. When we do this, it creates spaces for our husband to step into the leadership and authority that God has created and designed them for and for them to work in their function. And it's a beautiful thing. Marriage by God's design is unlike anything you've ever been told or experienced before. It's a perfect chamber for an echo of the heavenly relationship. It's a perfect ground zero for revelation of what God wants to heal, for exposing the areas that need to be refined and pruned and released and laid down and transformed that only God can do. So, my question to leave you with from this one today is how is that working out for you? How heavy is that yoke? The burden of slavery. Be honest with yourself. How heavy does it feel today, managing everything, running everything, carrying everything for everyone? God is calling you out, dear daughter. He wants to fill you with the spirit of his son. So that you are no longer a slave, but a daughter. And if a daughter, then an heir through God. And we are free to stand and to not submit again to that yoke of slavery. So what is it? Where are you in this? And I want to personally invite you into high-level life. Join us, join this community. Because it's not just about you experiencing that freedom and standing in that freedom. It's about what God is doing with that testimony He's developing in you and that He's going to then use through you to not only speak life and come alongside the women that are not yet in the program, but we're always a little bit further in our journeys than other people. And this is the power of the testimony being shared that God puts in you is when you are there, then able to turn around and help somebody else walk through a similar season or challenge that God has brought you through. You've already seen him made away, make a way, right? You've already had those mustard seed faiths, that moment of courage to slay the giant. Not because of you, but it's because of who your belief is in. And it only requires that mustard seed of faith for God's power to do the thing you can't do. And now you get to use that for the good of others and the saving of many. How cool is that that God uses us specific good works we were destined to, predestined by him, predetermined by him to walk in. That is waiting for you. And high-level wife is just one of those accelerators that helps you to surrender more fully, quickly. It's not self-help. It's not my program, do what I did. No, it's literally helping you to position yourself, to posture your heart, for the Holy Spirit to work in you and through you, and for God to do what only God can do. So come join us. It's amazing what God is doing here. And week after week after week, He speaks, He He shows up, His power is on display to the praise of His glory. I'll see you on the next episode.
