A woman can find deliverance from her carnal demands and expectations of the Man, Christ, concerning her life and house. This happens when the word confronts these expectations, illuminates to her the resurrection of Christ, and then ministers to her, and to her house, exanastasis from Christ. Like Mary, and Simon the leper’s wife, a woman who has been illuminated in this manner will be submitted to the headship of Christ, recognising His kingship and priesthood. She will learn from Him her obedience, which includes how to be ‘of her husband’ as one who professes ‘godliness, with good works’. 1Co 11:8. 1Ti 2:10.
Established in this order of headship under the Father in her marriage, and the Son in her house, she will be motivated and able to wash the feet of those in her house. She will also, figuratively, anoint them with the fragrant oil for their sanctified participation in the offering and suffering journey with Christ, through which God is glorified. This is a ministry of the seven Spirits of the Lord in the order of headship.
On the day after His anointing by Mary, Jesus entered Jerusalem as the King, riding on a donkey. Joh 12:12‑15. It is notable that the people who were with Christ when He called Lazarus out of his tomb, revealing that He is the resurrection and the life, bore witness of His kingship. Their testimony was the reason for the response of the multitude. Joh 12:17‑18. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as the King was the fulfilment of the prophetic word of Zechariah, who wrote, ‘Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! [Symbolising the expression of an elect lady, comprised of a network of worthy houses in a locality.] Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ Zec 9:9.
