“The ‘Beta’ Male Is Too Externally Driven. The heavy influence of others makes it impossible for God to be his center. It’s not about social positions because a king can be ‘beta’ like Israel’s ahab for instance. I believe the moment a man’s ‘central control tower’ becomes others centered like a counterfeit corner stone and he becomes overly dependent on anything and any person(s) besides God to the point of being handicapped without them he becomes ‘beta’. This isn’t saying that godly counsel is bad but read what I just wrote. GOD-ly counsel, as in, counsel that is in alignment with God’s counsel on every matter, not everybody’s collective opinion…And yes, God has an opinion on EVERY MATTER. The question is, do you care to know?
I learned recently that you don’t really want to be an ‘Alpha’ male either. Apparently Sigma is the coolest male. I don’t know, I’d never considered it until now but just logistically speaking, I guess this male has the best shot at a great relationship with God. Why? Well, GOD doesn’t have bosses. He’s ALPHA already remember? and there can obviously only be one so the ‘alpha’ male will struggle with God on authority. Furthermore, God doesn’t want robots either, He wants sons. Here, where the ‘Beta’ male fails the ‘Sigma’ again stands the best chance at success. To take it to scripture, On quick Scan I found a couple already so you can too if you look into it.
Here’s my observation. The ‘sigma’ type figures in the Bible displayed a balance of unwavering commitment to stay submitted to God while being discerning enough to maintain a sense of autonomy and course correct whenever they’re out of line no matter what the crowd thinks and who disagrees with them. This is what endears the ‘sigma’ heart to God. Servant and independent at the same time, Power under GOD.
Obviously, we’re not referring to following instructions on your job, we’re talking about making the decisions of your life. Simply put, An outsourced Will in a male human is a beta state of Being. Even if the persons who have captured you will and stopped you from centering God are not people but devils, guess what, you’re still beta. Being demon possessed is basically being trapped in beta mode. God didn’t create us to be ‘beta’, He commanded us to ‘dominate the earth’ amongst other things. That’s why part of His great commission to us had to include ‘cast out demons’. This male lacks the ability to just hear God and follow like Abraham. He could never just hear God and believe like Samuel because he must run everything by people ‘Betas’ are much like king Saul (another of Israel’s kings). It’s sad that this male must defer to people before obeying or disobeying God. He doesn’t want to have a mind of his own. He’s afraid to have the responsibility of his own mind. Witch love this beta trapped male by the way. You’d be surprised just how many spirits (humans included) would just love to run your life if you don’t want to do it yourself under God. Can you blame them? I mean what easier prey for a domineering person addicted to control others than a person who already doesn’t want to be in control of himself?
I personally think God finds this inconvenient interruption of deferring to people before acting distracting and irritating when He’s trying to move with a man. God hates this trait so much He’s often killed and deposed these men when in leadership, preferring the Davids who don’t defer to any living being above Him instead. The beauty of this is that men of God also know when to defer to the human being who is under God when he is out of order and misaligned with God. David with Nathan for instance.
Imagine Joseph discussing with people first after God told him to ‘take the child and His mother a flee to Egypt’. Wouldn’t it have been irritating to first insist on having a family/council meeting on the matter? Or what if Joseph had to consult the same council of people when God told him not be be afraid and marry the pregnant woman? Just sayin. Historically speaking, GOD has required a certain ‘sigma-ness’ in the males He has chosen to work with throughout scripture.
Arguably, God’s true sons cannot be beta because His character and proven track record is clearly of partnerships with men as heirs not to control just for the sake of domination. The sigma guy already being as he is without the heavy dependence on external validation or need to be seen makes him an excellent partner for God on grand issues. I personally imagine that a sniper would require the personality traits of the ‘Sigma’ subset.
A major characteristic of a ‘beta’ is fear. Specifically the fear of man. You cannot fear man and worship God successfully at the same time. I used to wonder why God lists the fearful (in multiple places in scriptures) amongst those who He will destroy in the lake of fire forever. Now I understand why.
You worship whatever you fear. Apart from the fear of Him God recommends no other brand of fear to us to have. So if He’s burning you off forever along with the drunken pedophile who mass murdered people and considers it righteous it’s because you would have spent your time on earth fearing/worshipping the wrong person(s).
That’s called idolatry. Read the Bible, many nations have been leveled for this very reason (Israel more often than others). In that case then, the fearful isn’t all that shocking being on the kill list of Heaven anymore.
PS I hope it doesn’t need to be said that this label as applied here has nothing to do with the organized greek socio-spiritual system. Precisely zero.”
Jesus was probably ‘Sigma’. The life hack is to be primarily GOD controlled while having self control. Surrendered Autonomy is how sons of God operate.
[…] that a strong heart yielded to God (because we already established that God hates weaklings here) that is committed to live a disciplined lifestyle is NOT the same as having a hardened heart. […]
