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?!

LOL! Oh no, dear Min. West you didn't go there with the "it is downright sickening that women want to head the church and divorce the man. Yet she can't even keep the home."

First let me say, that the man has done something to so disrupt the woman's psyche' that as you believe, she "wants to divorce the man", then it simply shows that it is men that obviously can't "keep the home." :-) Hey, as far as that goes, can't buy a home to keep but let's not go there as this isn't a personal issue to me as it seems to be to you.

Anyway dear Min. West, the fact is, righteous women do not want to 'divorce their husbands' period! Honest they don't. Just ask the Holy Spirit who told them to 'separate and divorce' this 'out of control' husband who unfortunately a lot of women end up divorcing.

By the way, God bless Juanita Bynaum who last I heard from news reports is trying to hold on in spite of that embarassing, brutality her Minister husband wrought upon her and by extension, her church and followers. I haven't seen her on TV in a long time.

Yeah, let's keep her in prayer as she said, 'she has a covenant with her husband' inspite of his brutal beating of her and does not as you inferred 'want to divorce him.' I believe she's sincere. God bless her and 'protect her from further violence' within her home. I love and pray for her.

Annnnnyhoo, as I said in the original post, 'righteous women want a righteous man to be the proper head of the household.' Unfortunately, even as you, dear Minister, are showing men don't grasp what that truly means in the eyes of God.

For the record, what that means is a righteous, spirit-filled, intelligent man working in equality with his help-mate, seeing that God's original design for women were for us to 'help' the man who obviously needed it (Gen. 2:20). "Head" means spokesperson after they in equality unite together and discuss any given issue and how they both will go about bringing forth righteousness.

"Head" does not mean "boss" i.e. "I boss you around, tell you how it's going to be, and you better like it cause the Bible says so." That unfortunately is how far too many men interpret and act upon that Scripture. It is this 'poisonous/serpent' mindset in males that women end up 'divorcing' and rightly so, for it is the mindset of Satan working through such fallen, demented mindset. See the difference?

Okay, moving on, you said, 'there are circumstances where God uses women but she is not to head church, home or government?"

So Deborah the prophetess was wrong to be 'head' the nation of Israel (Judgs. 4:4)? She was what? Sinning before the God of Israel who used her to judge? Do tell?

What of the prophetess Miriam Moses' sister? The Bible calls her one of 3 leaders of Israel (Ex. 15:20; Micah 6:4). Was she 'sinning' or 'disobedient to God' because she 'lead a nation?' God didn't think so, yet, it is your mindset that is usurping God's will and replacing it with your own with regard to your views on women. Can't you see that? I pray God to open your eyes to that reality that you may be set free.

Oh, and as for the New Testament it is none other than Paul who commends Timothy's mother Eunice and grandmother Lois as 'head of the household' who credits their faith in God to be that which was passed down to this fine young man that caused him walk in the Spirit and might of God (2 Tim. 1:5). Remember?

See then, the trouble is with your own rebellious thought pattern on FACTS, i.e. TRUTHS written within God's word. You are not accepting of them and as so, you remain in bondage to Satan's deception with regard to women. It is 'satan' who 'hates' or as Scripture proclaims 'has enmity' towards 'women' (Gen. 3:15). It is satan alone who uses males to keep women out of their true godly assignment and that sir, is anti-Christ any way you look at it.

I pray God you and other men who walk in this rebellion repent for Jesus is not pleased with this type of stuff. Really He isn't. Alright, I hope the Biblical facts presented to you enlightens you.
Now here we go again/ the womans psyche has been tampered with. Whatever There are only certain reasons for divorce (biblical)/ yet the feminist movement of the passed years and the present give you many reasons (worldly).

Now you say the Holy Spirit tells you too divorce the no- good man (please show that in scripture) for How can The Spirit of the Most High do that which he hetes?????

Juanita Bynum (huh) LOL a false prophetess along with an anti-bishop/ folks who tell you how to be in-order and all the while they are out of order. Here she is tramping her lesbian self all over the globe and leaving her sissy at home unsatisfied.... Yet on you tube you can plainly here and see her state that their relationship was so much better than everyone elses because she knows how to treat her man. What happened after that???

What makes woman so righteous/ I know of alot of younger and older brothers who can tell you the samething about looking for righteousness.....

If EVe would have been in agreement in the Garden while looking to establish righteousness together/ the Sin quite possibly would never have been commited

Notice God used her not some storfront pimp.

Yet you do not read where Miriam gave commands to the people. She was Moses' helpmate just as Aaron was.
When you speak of the Exodus/ do you say Moses led or Miriam????

Head of the Household/ not head of the church or any other. You know I do believe that the women of today are weaker than the women of yesterday/ Eunice and Lois knew the significance of raising Timothy/ today They say I need a Man.

There is no rebellion towards the Most High on my part/ believing that if women would be in unison with the husband then they would be in unison with God.

All I am saying is hey do what you do but don't expect all too succumb to it.

Show me the scriptures that say a Woman is called to any of these offices (five fold) and that will suffice. Other than that get in line........
To your shame I must say, you're really putting on a 'rastus' act now Minister.

Oh, and I would ask you to be careful with the 'lesbian' spouting for one begins to wonder is that if what is upsetting you is that your wife or mother or sister or daughter is a lesbian and you're bitter.

We are Christian women over here being respectful to you in spite of you. You should do so accordingly without reducing intelligent spiritual talk to 'sexuality' that you are either intimidated by or fantasizing about. Either way, it's rather disgusting.


As so, I would ask you to immediately cease with that nonsense as no self-respecting, heterosexual, godly woman is in the least bit threatened by the likes of you hurling that term around. In fact, it sort of explains why some women claim they are 'lesbian'. Get the picture, will ya?

As for the spiritual facts within the Bible, you are too ignorant to comprehend them that we have all seen, so I need not repeat myself.
And you still have not proven your point by scripture/in spite of me/oh well one cannot and will not prove a lie through scripture...

Maybe to the unsubmissive you can but to those of us who know the truth.

we will stand on it......

If you don't like the reference check the record/ and prove me wrong......

I won't speak of your family even if you continue to spue out of your untrained mouth about mine......

It is what it is/ did I call you a Lesbian or your Idol......

Must have struck a nerve..........
And you forgot I said she left her Sissy at home/why didn't that make you rage so Girl.

Has nothing to do with speaking on sexuality just the SIN.......

And do not reduce yourself to lusting for my Wife,Mother/or Sisters/ your veil is coming off.....

You said: In fact, it sort of explains why some women claim they are "lesbian". Get the picture, will ya?

Yes I do and don't think that it moves me one way or the other(your lesbianism that is) keep praying and going to Church you can be delivered if you so desire..... See i get the picture/you and those like you don't get it that is why you all come with these different doctrines that are not supported by Scripture..

I will pray for your deliverance..........if you do the same /Yah will bless.....
"I pray God you and other men who walk in this rebellion repent for Jesus is not pleased with this type of stuff. Really He isn't. Alright, I hope the Biblical facts presented to you enlightens you."

Lol this is funny I knew her "masculinity" would stand up afterwhile!!!
She wants to prove something that is nowhere in scripture.
They can do as they will but you won't catch MarQuiese sitting up under some masculine-acting woman trying to be a man and rule over me.
NEVER will it ever happen.
Nice way too put it.....
You knew "her masculinity" oh what Christ-like thoughts abide in you, BOY and I do mean, boy!

Now run along grown-ups talking over here.
What does that say about men that cannot rule their household well? They can still lead because they have a penis? COME ON BRO!
Now, 'man' may be 'head of the woman' but this woman knew more than all those men disciples put together

Mark 8:27-29
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? [28] And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. [29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

She knew more that them how?
Hi pastor yes, according to the words of Jesus she knew more than them. Matthew 26:12 NKJV states "For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial."
Note that this is the testimony of Jesus himself. He is proclaiming that this woman better understood the spiritual hour with regard to the crucifixion and subsequent ressurection than any of the apostles including Peter. Remember Jesus had just rebuked Peter, 'Get thee behind me SATAN' (Matt. 16:23). In other words, Satan was speaking through peter whereas God, moved on this woman to better understand the spiritual hour of which Peter was denying.
That is the VERY point.
OBEDIENCE to the Word seems to ONLY be for certain people and ONLY when these certain people want to control your mind and your pockets.
All that foolishness she posted was full of error and heresy to prove a point that is yet not in scripture- as they are trying to claim.
