Women Preachers

WOMEN PREACHERS

1 CORINTHIANS 11:5

EVERY WOMAN THAT PRAYS OR PROPHESIES-------

SHOULD SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!!!

IS THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS??

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

THE APOSTLE PAUL IN NO WAY EVER FORBID WOMEN TO OBEY THE CALL OF THE LORD TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD!

WHERE DID PEOPLE GET SUCH A NOTION?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT PROPERLY READ THE WORD OF GOD, AND LIKE TO THINK THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS FULL OF THEIR OWN PREDUDICES.

READ 1 CORINTHIANS 11. PAUL RECOGNIZED THE FACT THAT HUNDREDS OF WOMEN WERE PREACHING THE GOSPEL. HE DID NOT TELL THEM TO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN.

HE TOLD THEM TO COVER THEIR HEADS, AS A SIGN

OF THEIR AUTHORITY BEFORE GOD, THAT WAS RECOGNISED BY THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN. (VERSE 10)

ROMANS 16:1 I COMMEND TO YOU PHOEBE, OUR SISTER,

WHICH IS THE SERVANT OF THE CHURCH AT CENCHREA---RECEIVE HER IN THE LORD-----ASSIST HER IN WHATEVER BUSINESS SHE HAS NEED OF------

IN NEW TESTAMENT USAGE OF THE TERM, "SERVANT OF THE CHURCH" AND "ANGEL OF THE CHURCH" MEANT

"PASTOR OF THE CHURCH"

PAUL COMMENDS THIS FEMALE PASTOR AND TELLS

PEOPLE TO GIVE HER ALL THE HELP SHE NEEDS.

GALATIANS 3:28 THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK

THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE

THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE

YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS!

THE HOLY GHOST ANNOINTS ALL OF THE LORD'S

SERVANTS THE SAME!

IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THE PROPHET SAID, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH!

YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY!

WHO IS MAN TO TELL GOD WHO HE SHOULD ANNOINT AND WHO HE SHOULD NOT ANNOINT?

JUDGES 4 DEBORAH, THE PROPHETESS, WAS ALSO A JUDGE OF ISRAEL!

A RELIGIOUS LEADER AND A POLITICAL LEADER!

THE ISRAELITES CAME TO HER FOR JUDGEMENT!

VERSE 5.

GENERAL BARAK WOULD NOT GO INTO THE BATTLE UNLESS SHE CAME WITH HIM! HE WAS NOT AFRAID OR ASHAMED OR HUMILIATED TO GO TO A WOMAN FOR HIS DIRECTION FROM GOD. AND HE WAS THE LEADER OF AN ARMY! NO SISSY HERE. HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO RECOGNIZE THE LORD'S AUTHORITY IN THIS WOMAN'S MINISTRY!

I ACTUALLY READ A STATEMENT THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A FOE OF WOMEN PREACHERS. THIS PERSON ACTUALLY SAID THAT IT WAS BETTER FOR A SOUL TO GO TO HELL RATHER THAN HEAR THE GOSPEL FROM A WOMAN! HOW EVIL AND IGNORANT CAN THE HUMAN HEART GET?

WOMEN THAT ARE CALLED BY THE LORD AND ORDAINED BY THE HOLY GHOST MUST OBEY THE COMMAND OF THE LORD TO DELIVER THE WORD OF GOD AND RESCUE SOULS FROM HELL.

1 TIMOTHY 2:12 USES THE WORD " USURP". TO TAKE VIOLENTLY THAT WHICH BELONGS TO ANOTHER. WE ARE SEEING THIS "USURPING" OF THE FEMALE OVER THE MAN IN THIS VERY DAY. IT IS CLAIMED BY MANY NEW AGERS THAT GOD IS FEMALE, AND THAT "SHE" IS MORE POWERFUL THAN JEHOVAH. IT IS CLAIMED BY OTHERS THAT MARY JOINED IN THE REDEMPTIVE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST, AND THAT NO ONE CAN GET SAVED WITHOUT HER FORGIVENESS. THIS IS TRULY THE FEMALE " GODDESS PRINCIPLE" USURPING THE RIGHTFUL

AUTHORITY OF THE GOD WHO IS MALE. GOD HAS NO

"ONLY BEGOTTEN" DAUGHTER! IN THESE TWISTINGS OF THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, WE FIND THE REAL USURPING OF FEMALE OVER THE MALE, THAT THE SPIRIT FORBIDS.

BUT WOMEN CALLED BY THE HOLY GHOST TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND RESCUE SOULS FROM HELL, WILL CONTINUE TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN. AND THOSE MEN WHO CAN'T BEAR THE IDEA OF SOULS BEING RESCUED FROM HELL BY THE WORDS OF A FEMALE AUGHT TO EXAMINE THEIR HEARTS, TO SEE IF THEY ARE REALLY SAVED.
