We understand that you're going through a time of confusion and spiritual struggle. Firstly, we want to address the issue of the authority structure mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:3. This verse is not about superiority or inferiority, but about order and responsibility. It reflects the order of creation and the loving headship that God has established for the family and the church. It is a picture of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son Jesus Christ, Jesus and his bride the church, husband and wife, and parents and children. As the husband is the head of the wife, he is to love and care for her as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. This is not a teaching about dominance or inequality, but about love, sacrifice, and responsibility as outlined in Ephesians 5:25:
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it.
Regarding the strange experiences you're having, we need to be clear that God does not cause or endorse confusion or strange voices. In John 10:10, Jesus said:
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Any voice or spirit that is causing confusion or saying inappropriate things like "dingus" is not from God and should be rebuked in the name of Jesus.
We also want to address the issue of fasting. Fasting is a biblical practice that, when done correctly, can bring us closer to God and increase our sensitivity to His voice. However, fasting should never cause misfortune or detriment to others. If this is happening, it may be due to a wrong heart attitude or misunderstanding of fasting. Isaiah 58:3-7 warns us against wrong attitudes in fasting and reminds us of the true purpose of fasting.
Why have we fasted, they say, and you don't see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don't notice? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors. Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you don't fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh? Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved as Acts 4:10-12
behold, you yourselves know that all who are in Asia, both Jews and Greeks, were all moved with one accord to the theater, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel everyone who believes in him for eternal life.
We thank you that you're severing and helping him throughout the day. We ask that the Holy Spirit of God, the spirit of truth help him understand the word of God. We rebuke any spirit that is causing confusion or saying inappropriate things in the name of Jesus. We pray that you will give clarity and peace, and that any strange voices or experiences will cease. We also pray that you will guide him in the practice of fasting, that it may be a blessing to him and to others, and not a cause of misfortune or detriment.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
