If I can make a point- please lt me.
Women be strong.
Women, you were the first ones to see Jesus out of the tomb
Alive alive, He showed Himself to you
Your faith made you whole, you made the initiative and clung onto, touched Jesus' robe
Hold on, Hold on
Even when the world tells you= you are less than a man
Even when the church, deceived by Satan, discourages you
Even when your own kind tells you to be a robot, to be less than your husbands
i tell you women- be strong
Be strong in Christ, obey Him alone, not the words of men or women
God has given each individual unique gifts, personalities, and talents
They are not excluded from the giving of gifts
They have the same spiritual gifts that are to be used exponentially in the church, outside the church
Women, in your tears, be strong
I can only attest to the tears and crap I have been through
They look on me with hatred, they look on with envy
They look at me and say "how can it be, you are an exception"
The norma thing, they say, is for a woman to follow.
It says that both women and men shall prophecy at the end times, God has granted me authority to speak, to worship, to lead people, pastor them into God's presence
More than a label, title, or church title, I am in the world, beckoning to all sinners- COME DRINK drink of the cup of the salvation that our LORD has graciously given
If you have qualms with that, please take it to the Lord
Because by definition, you are discounting the work of God in a whole person's life,
IN fact, by you speaking derogatorily towards what God can and can NOt do through me
you are discounting the very nature of who God is and HOW He works
Oh women be strong, be strong, what is be strong? I say be strong in whatever God has called you or willed you to be or do. Not in our own strivings, but for and through Jesus Christ alone. And so if ANYONE discounts or discourages you in that- heresy. I SAY HERESY. I say Satan has deceived the church. OH what potential I see in both women and men alike, young and old alike. OH what potential we have hidden, oh what gifts God has given but have become frozen in time.
OH what tragedy that some men and women think that women shall be silent. OH what tragedy that they have not researched and fully understood the humility of serving one another in a marriage relationship. OH I PRAY FERVENTLY against the lies Satan has sown in hearts. OH what tragedy that women are not allowed to speak truth, to be missionaries, to be an active servant of Jesus Christ because of the preponderances and prejudices of humankind. Oh WE might as well just go back to the olden times, where women were like slaves, even today my HEART breaks for those that are sold to captivity, forced to wear veils, oh because they are mere objects of temptation- oh my heart BREAKS, MY HEART breaks and regret for those women, oh the things and people they can be for God's kingdom and glory-
but oh the lies of satan. this wrings my heart and makes me sob....
And oh God, all I ever wanted to do was follow you wholeheartedly, with my whole life, with my whole soul. Is there anyone that understands that? Or will they keep saying "women cannot..." SHUT THE HELL UP. DO YOU NOT SEE GOD? DO YOU NOT SEE HIS BEAUTY? DO YOU NOT SEE HIM WORKING WORKING THROUGH ME? THROUGH all the AWESOME AMAZING WOMEN I KNOW?
Through the women that have conquered mountains with Christ alone, through tears they've battled death, troubles, assaults, suppressions, they're heart is LIT ON FIRE for JESUS. I can see them go to the ends of the earth for Jesus, nothing can stop them. They are dead women walking. I see a generation of women...wow. falling on their faces and seeing God. They rise with Spirit, they are true soldiers of compassion and love. I love my girl friends to DEATH. I can truly say, I can lay my life down for you.
DO not ever be discouraged from what people say. You woman, you woman, are an amazing and precious daughter of Christ. YOU speak truth to move mountains, your heart breaks for the things that break God's. You. You are who God's made you to be.
Follow God's heart. God's heart alone. Amen
