The Bible teaches that, "Truth crushed to the ground is rising again!" (Ps. 85:11 PP). A part of that truth that is springing forth from the earth is the truth about God and women. Scripture tells us that the 'the letter killeth, the spirit giveth life' (2 Cor. 3:6). A lot of things are written in Scripture that seemingly forbid women participation in the church. However, research has found that Paul's words were taken out of context and in fact, had more to do with protocol going on in the newly established churches of that time.

In the meantime, God's wisdom has taught me many things with regard to His will for women. The first thing taught is that God's will was always for 'men and women' to speak and Glorify His name everywhere, including in the church. Let us remember the original word from God concerning 'Adam/man' and 'Adam/woman' (Note:Scripture tells us that God originally referred to the man and woman as 'Adam' (Gen. 5:2) Adam then called the 'woman,' 'woman' and God honored that (Gen. 2:23-24). It was only after the fall that the 'woman' was named 'Eve' (Gen. 3:20). Talk about the '3 faces of Eve,' eh?

At any rate, the original will of God was 'equality' for man and woman. Scripture tells us that 'God put His Spirit in both WOMEN and men' (Mal. 2:15). As so, if the spirit of the Living God abides in women just as it does in men then it is impossible that God would mean, 'women can't speak or preach in church' for how else can one express the power, might, glory of God but by speaking it?

Where else can we glorify God amongst our own but in the church? Besides, Scripture says, 'the body is the temple of the Lord' and therefore we must glorify God in our 'Temple/body.' How much more shall we glorify God amidst a united temple of believers who dwell in church buildings? (1 Cor. 3:16). It is wrong to teach otherwise. The original command was 'God blessed, 'THEM', not just HIM but HER as well and stated, 'have dominion (subdue with kindness) the Earth and all that is therein" (Gen. 1:26-28). That's 'dominion' over the Earth and NOT each other.

Now, that said, the function of men and women is quite different. Masculinity does act as a figure head, that Femininity just naturally yields to within a marriage setting. I cannot tell you how many women want to feel protected with a strong, intelligent, righteous man. Unfortunately, with men so screwed up today, they are going to stay in 'want.'

At any rate, this function is proper in a marriage setting alone. Amidst that setting, the woman enjoys playing the nurturer, co-counselor in all 'decision' making aspects for Scripture says, 'it was not good for man to be alone' (Gen. 2:18). What that means is, not only physically alone, but as well alone, in making decisions. Hence, God would emphasize the importance of the woman's role when God brought His creation 'woman' to man. He more or less told Adam, 'now listen, you've been enjoying naming animals and the such, but now, this wonderful creation 'woman' is not for you to 'take authority over' in the sense that you have had the joy of naming animals I brought to you. She is now co-namer of all things with you. She is your equal and you must listen and heed her wisdom as that which is as great and important to your survival than your own thinking. In fact, she is your survival, your 'helper!' You cannot mentally, spiritually, etc, function right without her wise input!' (Gen. 2:24).

God seemed to instinctively know that He would have to strongly get that point across to the man as if he didn't, trouble would surely, erupt. Through the subsequent actions with regard to the 'fall', we see God was right to emphasize the importance of equality. That is, the first thing Adam did after the fall was 'blame' 'God and the woman.' He stated, 'it was that WOMAN that YOU gave me who is responsible for this' (Gen. 3:12).
That un-repentant mindset of Adam was passed down to men and to this day, men 'blame and fault' women for the wrongs of the world. Women in Scripture have always been portrayed from a negative perspective. In fact, women have been lied upon and blasphemed (Rev. 13:6).

For instance, Mary Magdalene has always been portrayed as a 'prostitute' when research now tells us that she was not. The same thing with 'Rahab'. Research now finds out that her alleged 'prostitution' was in reality, idol worship. Yeah sure, that Philistine woman, Delilah seduced Samson but he was just as guilty for going after that worldly type of woman in the first place. However, preachers curse her more than Samson's stupid, downright ridiculously flaunted 'worldly' behavior amidst being spirit-filled. (Jud. 13-16).

At any rate, back to the 'fall' and the different mentality that was about the man versus the woman. The woman fessed up to her wrongs. She admitted that she willfully listened to the deceiving serpent (Gen. 3:13). In so doing, she left no un-repentant ground for Satan to use. This is why righteous women throughout Scripture have always been the first to know of, and proclaim the might of God. Just look at the case of Samson's mother. The angel came to her, and she preached the truth to her husband, who doubted and was later visited by the angel (Judg. 13:2-25).

God's spirit was in Deborah and she was 'Judge' of all Israel (Judgs. 4). This truth alone, proves that God could not have meant that 'women shouldn't preach' as this woman not only preached, but led the whole nation.
Remember, Scripture says, 'God is the same today, yesterday and forever' (Heb. 13:8). Meaning, He did not mean for only these women of Old Testament Biblical history to lead and preach. Just look at the greatest miracle in American history, the woman Harriet Tubman. She bore witness that God raised 'HER' up. 19 times she went into the south and freed groups of God's enslaved people and 19 times, she successfully came out with men, women and children. No man, equalled what this valiant woman of God did. See then, God through his 'actions' is teaching us that 'He uses whom He will and His will is for women to preach, teach, prophesy and do exploits.' (Dn. 11:32).

Also, because of the King Barack's 'doubt and fear' during the reign of Deborah, the spirit of the Lord used the might and strength of the woman Jael to shame the 'man's' weakness and fear. Yes, Jael is the 'woman' song and praised throughout the ages for bringing down the enemy King Sisera (4:17-24). Can we hear a "Michele's in the white house representing?" :-)

Again, God's spirit is in both men and WOMEN and niether were meant to be constrained via demented males purposely misinterpreting the role of women. Male's misinterpretation stifled and destroyed many a good woman. Also, let us remember that God's testimony is, 'I hate divorce (Mal. 2:15). Yet, out of love and concern for women God allowed divorce in order to stop men from destroying women (Mal. 2:15).


In other words, 'divorce' was a gifted weapon from God to women. Fallen male's treatment of women can destroy the woman's role and function and so wreak havoc on planet earth. This happened in the past and it is happening today. In fact, it is prophesied that the anti-Christ will have no 'desire for women' (Dn. 11:37).

It is the spirit of Satan working through the hardhearted, un-repented mindset of fallen males. That 'Adam-ic' 'blame God and women' mentality is seen in males mistreatment of women worldwide. See, when Adam did not take responsibility for what he did, that part of his mindset became 'corrupted fertile ground.' As a result, Satan has had a field day using males to destroy God's precious creation, woman.

Just look at the so-called religion of Islam. The woman is oppressed and sorely afflicted. In Africa, the woman is chattel. The same with Asian nations. The male's warped, twisted mindset with regard to women keeps women and those nations steeped in darkness, chaos, destruction and death. This is the state of mind Adam unleashed for Satan to abuse when he did not repent of his evil participation in the fall and instead, 'blamed God and the woman' (Gen. 3:12).

Yet, we saw God's remedy towards Adam's action of standing there allowing the woman to be deceived (Gen. 3:1-8). God stepped in as husband to the woman and stood the ground that Adam should have stood by immediately expelling the serpent. At any rate, the serpent thought God's wrath would be upon the woman. However, instead, God stood up for the woman and informed the serpent that He too, would use the same trusting nature of the woman to bring down Satan's evil that he had just pulled off. In other words, God is proclaiming, "He still loves and cherishes the magnificent 'woman' He created."

However, let me say this, God did warn the woman of one of the consequences of her disobedience, he stated with regard to her husband Adam, 'your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall have rule over you' (Gen. 3:16). Male preachers have erroneously taught that that means God was giving the man 'rule over the woman.' However, reality is, God was warning the woman that the once 'equality' relationship she had with her husband in the garden was now 'destroyed'. The man would take 'illegal' rule over the woman. She would think or desire to be like it once was, but it was no more.

At any rate, God would use a woman to bring forth the redeemer to get back what Adam had just given away (Gen. 3:15). God would also 'put enmity' between Satan and the woman. Meaning, though Satan now had fertile ground to use the man's un-repentant state, the righteous women throughout the ages would be the key vessels used by the Most High to destroy the works of the devil.

Hence, we are told of mighty women used by God. There was Miriam the prophetess and leader of Israel right along with her brother Aaron and Moses. (Ex. 15:20; Mic. 6:4; etc.). Ruth and Naomi would come forth obediently setting the stage for the birth of King David who would be a type of Christ (Ruth 4:13-22). Esther would come forth and be the vessel God would use to stop a satanic genocide (Est.). Rahab a gentile African woman would be used to destroy idolatrous Canaanite factions (Josh. 2). Etc.

On and on the list would go of women being used mightily by God. As well, prophecy says in the last days, 'God would pour out His spirit on our sons and DAUGHTERS' (Joel 2:28-29). God said, the 'daughters' i.e. females i.e women would prophesy.' Well how can women prophesy i.e speak the profound truths of God if they are not allowed to 'speak or preach' in the church? Besides, in the New Testament this prophecy was fulfilled as Scripture makes mention of the 4 DAUGHTERS of Phillip 'prophesying' (Acts 21:9; 2:17). Again, the 'letter' i.e. 'written word' killeth but the Spirit through it 'actions' towards women gives life and truth with regard to God's will for women.

As so, on Pentacost, the Holy Spirit sure didn't believe women couldn't preach as the Holy Spirit came upon men and WOMEN and both were heard to be speaking the wisdom of God (Acts 2:17).

Not only that, prior to pentacost it was 'women' who were the first to know of, and speak the might and praises of God with regard to the Messiah's entrance on planet earth. Whereas, disobedient man was unaware of what was going on with regard to prophecy. Just read Luke's account of Elizabeth and Mary whose Hebrew name is Miriam. (Luke 1:39-56;) The fact is, the man Zachariah was stricken deaf and dumb for his 'unbelief' but not so, with the women. They with a loud voice, proclaimed, preached, annouced, and praised God before all of heaven for the miracle messiah that was now on Earth residing in the womb of young Mary/Miriam (Lk. 1:18-25).

Also, know this, it was women alone, who were the FIRST to know of the resurrected Christ (Matt. 28:1-11). It was none other than angels of the Most High, and Jesus himself, who commanded 'WOMEN' in the form of Mary Magdalene and the other 'women' to PREACH the first resurrection message (Mk. 16:1-8). The fact is, the might and righteousness of women gave them the strength to go to the tomb with intent to fulfill the Hebrew burial laws of God come what may, soldiers or no soldiers.

Whereas, the men were all cowardly hidden away. However, the women's fearless strength caused them to be the FIRST to PREACH of the resurrection. How then can preacher's erroneously preach that 'women must be silent, can't speak or preach?' The fact is, Paul must, have meant something else as he himself, often commended women preachers.

There was priscilla who was called an apostle right along with her husband (Acts 18:2, 18.26; Rom. 16:3). Phoebe was called a 'servant' but the Greek word for 'servant' was 'minister or preacher' (Rom. 1:16). Oh, and what happened to the many women on Pentacost who were baptized in the Holy Spirit? (Acts 2:17). Do you think they just kept silent after that day? No! It would have been a sin if they had. Instead, they too, went forth 'preaching and teaching.' We know that there were active spiritual groups run by women as Paul came upon the woman Lydia (Acts 16:14). Of a surety, she and the women with her were baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts. 16:14-15).

In all these matters, please know of a certainty, that the 'letter' of the word taught erroneously has been a violation of God's will with regard to women. Women, like men, were ordained by Jesus/Yahshua Himself, to "go into all the world and PREACH' the gospel' (Mk. 16:15-18).

Bottom line, as all are baptized in the Holy Spirit, then 'all,' meaning both men and 'women,' should preach the word of God to a lost and dying world. We should not forsake the assemblying of ourselves together. We must come together as righteous men and WOMEN to preach, teach, prophesy within the church (Heb. 10:25).. It is the will of God. As such,, who can withstand it and prevail?!

Oh no you didn't go there First Lady! No you didn't make this a 'some man did sumptin' to ache our souls' uh, uh, won't, don't work and ain't having it!' Shame on you bursting into this conversation with such 'female self-loathing.' I will pray for you though I must rebuke you.

By the way, did your man give you permission to hurl this gibberish because NOT ONE OF THEM have answered the BIBLICAL TRUTHS so presented by we RIGHTEOUS WOMEN AND MEN OF GOD?!

The entire subject matter has been about the YHWH of the BIBLE, HIS WILL for WOMEN and how HE IS, USING WOMEN to do exploits!

This is nothing personal, so don't take it there! You see, the real matter with your disposition is this, your man or men, have been unable to knock down the BIBLICAL TRUTHS we women have time and time put forth. Deal with it! However, deal with it in truth sister, and don't curse the messengers, lest you find yourself cursing YHWH who fights for His righteous daughters.

As such, I reitirate, they (your males) put their dispositon out there. We (YHWH's DAUGHTERS), have time and time again, used the very words of YHWH to demolish it, and the sad part is, out pop you a 'female' refusing to hear the truth and showing such wicked disdain. It is wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go and pray to YHWH to forgive you.

As for someone telling a man to "shut-up", well, I haven't read that yet, and truth be told, if you search this entire discussion from beginning to end you will see that it has been the males hurling insults at we righteous women who have been nothing but gracious.

As so, if some righteous woman on the board, took her GODLY authority over a crude, satan possessed male, and rebuked his madness via telling him to 'shut-up' then it is probably because he deserved it!

However back to you, it is wrong for you to interject with the old "when all else fails, attack the messenger" simply because you can't handle the message that is demolishing your male's UNGODLY disposition. Again, Shame on you, a WOMAN for doing this. May YHWH remove your bondage to male silliness!!
Your statement does absolutely nothing to validate your point Moreh. Men catch attitudes all the time, and yet they are called. By your standard, Peter who cut off a man's ear and denied Christ all in one night shouldn't have been an Apostle.

Oh wait, thats right, he has a penis, so he can act the fool. My fault!

Moreh, you have to uphold consistency as well as righteousness.
lol! Oh yeah, 'head of woman' MALE we honor ya, sure, uh huh. lol
Oh wow, I think I should take a 'vote' on whether to close this conversation out as it's becoming repetitive.

Listen, there are two perspectives on the board alright, one is the perspective of believers walking in the liberty of the Ruach Hakodash, and the other is the perspective of you all, walking in the spirit of religious law which is binding.

We all have given one example after another proving that YHWH uses whom He will to exalt His word. The letter is killing you all, while the Spirit is giving us life and that more abundantly (2 Cor. 3:6).

Honestly, if you follow your disposition then none of us could ever talk to YHWH for rare is the person who knows the exact Hebrew of ancient history. And, didn't you all study English written Bibles before you understood the Hebrew exact terminology text? Well, if so, then how can we trust that you got it right for according to your disposition YAH wasn't talking to you all to teach you the correct terminology because you all weren't saying it right in the first place just as you all accuse us of not using the right terminology, now ain't that so?

Come on, again, the 'letter killeth, the spirit giveth life' and REASON to God's inerrant word.

Moreso, what if one has a speech impediment and pronounces YAH, HA, does that mean YAH won't hear him or her until they get the terminology the exact way it's suppose to sound? Again, the 'letter killeth, the Spirit giveth life and LIBERTY.

The Bible speaks of Hannah crying so profusely that the High Priest wrongly thought her drunk and scolded her when in reality she was praying 'in her heart' with much bitterness concerning her plight (1 Sam. 1:9-17).

Her prayers were eventually answered. You all's disposition is like the High Priest who wrongly judged her as 'doing it wrong' or 'drunk' or 'babylon whore' when in reality YHWH would hear and accept this woman's heartfelt prayer, bless her with her request and then some, turn her into a PROPHETESS in that she prophesied, and raise up her son to be one of the greatest prophets Israel ever had (1 Sam. 2).

Bottom line, it is you all who are 'limiting' YHWH by quoting rules and regulations that binds you but not YHWH as Yah's will is seen in His interaction with the people in the Bible.

One more thing, according to the 'law of YAH', David should have been stoned when he committed adultery with that African woman, Bathsheba but He was not (Lev. 20:10). He was punished, driven out, but not 'stoned according to the law' so showing that YAH's Spirit is flexible when it comes to the law (2 Sam. 11-12). If YAH had mercy on such a devastating act, how much more will He not bind people to your hardhearted judgment because of the 'name' by which people are bred to call him?

Don't get me wrong, you all enjoy carrying the 'oracles of truth,' and that's fine. Just stop banging people over the head with it, lest you be found to be striking out at YAH Himself and as Yahshua proclaims, 'it's hard to kick against the pricks.'
Good Afternoon Yahsniviim, listen I'm glad you and your wife pray fervent prayers that reach heaven. In fact, daily pray for me with regard to a 'hate crime' a pack foreigners are exacting against me and my household. YHWH assures me that I will come out of this triumphant and my enemies will be destroyed.

Now, that said, I'll tell you what, I agree with you that the original 'oracles of truth' as spoken in Hebrew should be kept . That's a good thing. I enjoy learning the Hebrew context of YHWH. It's fascinating.

In fact, I think it's a good idea to put aside a day when we learn the Hebrew context of YHWH for all of it is so precious and there is deep meaning in those words. I've learned some and it's really a good thing to know.
Hey, you should offer a day of learning "Hebrew' context of the word of God and we could all come and discuss it. Believe me, I do see, this type of learning is your assignment in YAH.

What you keep refusing to embrace is our assignments in God, I mean, YAH. All of us have put one Biblical example after another up to validate our disposition of which you won't accept. Yet, because of the Love of YHWH is in us
we call you brothers and sisters in spite of your 'limited' views on YAH.

Quite obviously, we are all growing and going from glory to glory. Again, it is good to know of the 'root' Hebrew meaning of YAH. It is good that you all adhere to those exact 'oracles of truth' and keep them alive. Yet, and here, I want you to listen clearly and not gloss over, rather specifically answer, what I am about to express to you. As you saw with Hannah, her prayer method was not like the 'exact rules' so much so, that the priest thought her 'drunk' (1 Sam. 1: 13-17). Nonetheless, YAH heard her heartfelt prayer and honored it magnificently. How much more would this same YAH'S action honor heartfelt prayers of we women and men of YAH, who do not use the exact terminology?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind calling YAH, YAH. Or, Yahshua, Yahshua. However, what about when we 'speak in tongues' what are we calling YAH then? I don't know. I just do it and the praises of YAH begin to pour forth from my spirit and I proclaim praise GOD, JESUS, YAHSHUA, HOLY SPIRIT and it is acceptable as it is the spirit of YAH moving me to express the praises of YAH. Think on that annnnd, reply exactly to that point, without skimming over it, like you have done with so many points we all have brung up to show you proof of the righteousness of YAH working within us.

Shalom
Well good! The Holy Spirit, uh, wait, I mean, the Ruach Hakadosh, is pronouncing the proper name of YAH as he speaks through us. See, we are speaking YAH'S proper terminology. Case closed. Moving on to the next subject that we can show you all we are correct.
Huh? I guess I haven't gotten to your posts yet. So again I say, huh? Ofcourse no woman can be the husband of a wife" and no real woman wants to be.

However, through YAH a woman can do exploits as Daniel the prophet proclaimed we would (Dn. 11:32).By all means, don't forget how YAH raised up Harriet Tubman to do a 'head of the woman' man's job in bravely, boldly, as she herself proclaimed, "anointed with the Spirit of God or YAH" that would come all over her, whereupon, 19 times, she went like a soldier and rescued YAH'S precious, enslaved MEN, women and children.

Now, I wouldn't call her a 'husband' to what some, would interject to mean, 'wifely' men who she rescued. NO, I would call her a mighty warrior of YAH, being led by YAH to achieve military feats that no MAN equalled. It is Almighty YAH'S doing, and it remains, marvelous in our eyes!
Geat point about Momma's! We must understand mother's (women) are the first teachers of the family. In context though first teaching came at home to her own children, one of the biggest problems with sistahs fighting what the Word says and claiming God has called them to "pastor" flocks is that now the children suffer and we see wahts going on with our young people today.
Bad example, because not all of their homes are a wreck. What do you say then?
I asked this before, and I am FORCED to ask this again...define USURP please.
Have you all ignored my question, or just scared to speak the truth? Maybe you just missed it, so I'll say it AGAIN:

We have a bunch of "Apostles, Prophets, and intercessors" here. Have any of you, male or female, asked GOD where HE stands on it? I don't just mean flipping through scripture, because its obvious that we did that. I mean in prayer saying "LORD, where do you stand on this matter?", and wait for HIM to answer. What did HE say to you? All your talk is NOTHING. I want to hear what the LORD GOD of Israel said to you AFTER you went into prayer on this matter.

I would LOVE to hear the answers.......
Though I do not believe you Moreh, at least you gave an answer to my question (finally). I have spoken to HIM on this, and HE has responded, stating "I have poured out My Spirit on all flesh, so why is this an issue? Stand up and defend the faith. Stand up and defend your sisters." I have also placed many scriptures concerning and confirming what HE said to me, and yet you do not believe.

Wisdom says this: Acts 5:33-40
When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Anyone else can say that they actually prayed on this matter? Don't let Moreh's response hype you to lie, either, just say what GOD told you, and NOTHING MORE.
