Once again, we are faced with this "men are the spiritual leaders of their homes, priests of the home, head of the house nonsense.
God is the head of any christian home or you have lost connection with the head, further, the Lord Himeself is NOW calling women to "lead" so men, be ye not deceived, for GOD is the ONLY leader.
WOMEN OF GOD DARE TO RISE UP AGAINST THE DEVIL AND HIS FALSE DOCTRINES!
I AM RISEN WITH CHRIST AND THE DEVIL IS A DEFEATED FOE AND A CRUSHED WORM BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AND THE POWER OF HIS HOLY NAME.
I WILL NOT BE SILENT!
This is a Word from the Lord from my Pastor who is a man and a Prophet of God;
The Spirit of God says there is an unbelievable to some, force, a gale force, being released to come and to wipe away; to come to restore. I have heard you inviting Me. So many things were taken illegally by forces that did what they did to the Son of the Most High God.
For had they known the mystery of God they would not have crucified the Lord on High. Had they known the mystery of God they would not have attempted to come against your children, against your homes, against your business, your finance, your hearts, your emotions.
Had they known the mystery of God they would not have endeavored to crucify what was rightfully yours.
They endeavored to crucify your righteousness, they endeavored to crucify and remove and bury what was rightfully yours.
The Spirit of God says, you are surrounded by a great cloud of witness, the greats of yesterday that stood out amongst men, amongst royalty and made a difference, are surrounding you.
For there was a sound in each one of their spirits when they faced the giants of their time - that sound exists in this generation of women, says the Lord of Hosts.
This sound is a sound of tenderness, this sound is a sound of bold gentleness.
This sound is a sound that has petrified the powers of hell for this same sound existed within Esther. The same sound existed within Deborah.
The same sound existed in Mary when the Rock came forth and Satan has watched the women of this generation and said "no more" but the Spirit of God says, they will arise, and when they arise they will bring forth the Rock Christ Jesus again!
As a prophet I have heard the sound: in this day and this year of acceleration of women suddenly accelerating and touching the untouchable, reaching the unreachable.
That's what I saw and God said, tell these women, you are the instigators and the initiators of this movement that is about to touch the entire earth.
It has been some time now, says the Lord, that I have focused My attention once again on the women to bring forth the Word, the Rock.
It has been a while now that I have looked for a sound to come from a place where women would arise not with temperament, but with character, with virtue, a sound that would come from them for one reason: God, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. And Lord, what you are dictating in Heaven right now, we want to perform on earth - this is their prayer.
Surely that which belongs to the Lord and belongs to you can not be taken and if it is put into the hands of your enemy it will only be returned to you with double power and with greater might.
For God says there is an element of resurrection that has not yet been released; That element of resurrection is now emerging from the heavenlies through an open veil.
A veil that was once shut by the unbelief of men and by the many, many that would persuade people to say that the future is not important.
I am taking now that which is emerging, the element of the resurrection, that the church has not yet had; the resurrection of the dead, the resurrection of things that have been taken, the resurrection of things that have been destroyed; the resurrection.
God says it has appeared before, it has appeared as a visitation but now it shall come as a habitation.
It has appeared before in little moments and in little spurts. But now God says like a gale force it is coming and it can not repent and it can not be taken back.
It can not be withdrawn and once it comes from the heavens you will see things that you thought you lost coming back to you with 10 times the power and 10 times the resources and 10 times the authority.
This is the night for the 10 time restoration says the Spirit of God. Rejoice for this is the Word of the Lord to you. The heavens are opened up.
The people of God make this declaration tonight we tolerate no force of evil in the church.
Religion has chased our children away. But now our children will say we want to go to church. You hear what I�m saying. Those that are two years of age this day will not be as you and I were and the teenagers of this day are we don�t want to go to church. You can not blame them can you? God said I�m changing the whole thing in church.
God said everyone that tries to control Me, I�ll break their hands, I�ll break their feet so that they will have no power to control.
Because this day I say to you, your children will say we want to go to church. Your grandchildren will say why have they stopped us? No they have not stopped you.
Religion has stopped you but that has come to an end. Rejoice, as for you and your house, you will serve the Lord.
I am looking for some warriors, says the Lord, and they are in your families - they are your children and they are the women of this generation!.
These are the ones that will stand before the kings just like Esther did.
And God said, these are the ones who change history just like Deborah.
These are the ones that will change history just like Ruth and Mary and Elizabeth.
God said, your girls are going to become women of God and they are going to become virtuous women who will prophesy to the dead bones of this society.
I am going to raise up your children and they shall be the ones who will stand before the Lord and say, "God, here I am, send me, and send me wherever You want me to go. Send me, send me wherever You want me to go. Send me, send me wherever You want me to go, send me. "
I have made a place only for you next to Me. I have a made a place by My side.
And now He's saying there's a place I've created for you. Just like He told Moses, He said, there is a place by My side, there is a place by My side and by My side is a Rock and in that Rock is a cleft. By the Rock, but in the Rock there is a cleft.
The Spirit of God says, I will place you in the cleft so I can show you the glory of tomorrow.
My altar is open for you and your house. If you desire this that I have promised, come to My altar, stand before Me, says the Lord, you, your children, your family and I will give you that promise, says the Spirit of God.
Right by My side there is a place for you. Right by My side there is a place for you in the Rock, My Son. Right by My side there is a place for you in the Rock, My Son. Right by My side there is a place for you in the Rock, My Son.
In the Rock, My house.
Right in My heart, there is a place for you in the Rock, in My house.
Right next to Me there is a place for you in the Rock in My heart.
So, what you are saying is that the Bible is nonsense? Because Paul gives very clear instructions about the roles of men and women.
Maybe it is just Paul you have a problem with? He only wrote 1/4 of the New Testament, and his disciple Luke, wrote even more. So what do we do? Throw out everything they wrote? Just rip everything between John and Hebrews out and throw it away? Oh, but wait, Paul was the one that said All scripture is inspired by God, so does that mean we can't believe anything that is in the Bible just because you don't agree with it?
I am sorry, I believe every word that is in the Bible. I have to choose it over your opinion. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. It is a simple choice, you either believe the Bible is the word of God or you don't, I do.
No where is it written that any man shall lead anyone, but it is written that each believer is subject to Christ who is the head of His Body and the members thereof.
ALL, I REPEAT, ALL, ARE ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.
I will not try to educate you. Men will teach out of their own minds and what you believe is taught and interperted, not by the Spirit of God, but by the mind of man.
You do not discern the things of the Spirit for you prefer the teachings of men.
God bless you then, I will do all that He did and greater things than these because HE said so and this no man will stop, for I walk by the power of God and the mind of Christ which has been given to me by God Himself.
God calls women, men say women be slient, nonsense, this is for those who were under the law of the old covenant and or the laws of man.
It is clear that we will not agree, so you go your way and I will go mine.
If you don't mind my asking ~ what does your profile name refer too? Guess I'm wondering who it is that 'you' serve?
Wondering too about the things they've you've written here. Pretty bold proclamations ~ where'd they come from? You speak with such force and authority ~ does make me consider something I've read about an 'angel of light'.
There is an authority given those who are followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. An authority and a power to resist and rebuke those that would oppose Him. 'That' is the name by which I call upon ~ against whom no enemy can stand. Deceiving spirits ~ Lieing spirits ~ spirits that would seek to lead others astray ~ Seductive spirits ~ and all other mischief making spirits ~ have NO PLACE HERE!
Now, since we all seem to be in some kind of agreement here ~ about the Word of God ~ mind if I share a passage that I personally appreciate? It's in Ephesians 5:22-28
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
It's good to see an older woman willing to teach a younger woman, especially when you present the Word as it is meant to be read-as it is written :peace: .
Once again, we are faced with this "men are the spiritual leaders of their homes, priests of the home, head of the house nonsense.
God is the head of any Christian home or you have lost connection with the head, further, the Lord Himself is NOW calling women to "lead" so men, be ye not deceived, for GOD is the ONLY leader.
Daves7days says,
�Finally somebody gets it. You have named it well too (nonsense). A false doctrine for sure. Like evolution this teaching has been accepted so long people believe it to be true.
�Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.�
This does not say that Jesus is replaced by a husband as the savior for the woman when a woman marries. There is no exclusive all male priesthood for New Testament believers. Women are not saved by submitting to their husbands. The overwhelming majority of scripture, when it says MAN, use the Greek �anthropos� referring to mankind or human beings. In other words woman are human and men are less than perfect too.
Iit would be wrong to put a woman on a pedestal to worship her above God. And a husband should not seek or be in that place either.
1 Corinthians 7:16, �Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?�
1 Corinthians 7:14, �For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband.�
Believing is the key. You can believe the husbands rule (Traditional) view rather than the (Egalitarian) women and men are equal view. But that does not make it true. If it works for some, fine go with it. But do not promote it as a Biblical absolute or that God is into a kind of role playing for men and women.
AMEN to that, thanks for the rescue. Many will use this "husband head of wife" as Christ head of Church in correctly to say "man is the priest of his home" Spiritual leader" "rules" the wife.
What they do not see is this; this is actually a repeat of the scripture which says "women learn from their husbands for Adam was formed first and Eve was deceived". THESE WOMEN WERE NOT BORN AGAIN!
Secondly. many could not read or write, had NOT the Holy Spirit, were not born again.
To this day, Jewish law forbids a woman to read the torah, sit even in the same location in the temple or to hear God for themselves, to this day they are told they do not even need nor should they desire to go to temple, but to be busy at home.
They were commanded to remain silent, so why would you even think to read the Bible or to say anything in public if you hold to the Jewish tradition then?
You are not allowed to speak in public or read the Bible, you have to learn from the older women who were taught of thier husbands or get a husband to teach you then.
If you will hold to the part of it, hold to the whole of it, otherwise you are not holding to the law as you were told you must if you will follow it; therefore some have defiled what they claim they follow.
You take a Jewish law and apply it to the new Covenant and then say I worship another God?
The law of the old covenant of which Christ did make new and did away with ALL the rules and regulations thereof is what I live by as I should.
You people have no idea what you so confidentialy confirm; Isaiah speaks about such people;
their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning].
Anytime women are told to "obey" their husbands, it was so as to win them or that the Word of God be profaned in that the laws of the land were such that women were nothing more than property and had NO rights whatsoever.
This is not so today, read the Bible! Women gave instruction to the Church as a whole by prophecy, taught, were disciples, apostiles etc.
We were all given the same Spirit to drink; God is no respector of persons, He gave His Holy Spirit to all who will ask for it and the measure of it is not greater to a male than a female.
God is going to wipe this out and you will either believe Him by what He does in the next few years or continue in bondage to a man, this is your choice of course.
But be forewarned, when you challenge a servant of God as if they serve satan, for the Lord Hiimself will rebuke that.
For my sake "He rebukes Kings" AMEN LORD, AMEN.
Ephesians 4:15
But we shall lovingly hold to the truth, and shall in all respects grow up into union with Him who is our Head, even Christ.
Eph 5:30
"For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones."
(That is Christ the new Adam, not man, good grief).
Genesis 2:23;
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
MAN HEAD OF WOMAN, AS IN ADAM! NOT BORN AGAIN, UNDER LAW!
Where I once was born of flesh and walked in the flesh (old Adam) I am now born again of the Spirit and walk in the Spirit and am alive and not dead. (taken out of Christ as the new Adam).
You wish to exalt a man to the head of Christ, God says otherwise;
Isaiah 33
Now will I arise, says the Lord. Now will I lift up Myself; now will I be exalted.
Below is a quote taken from one page. And I have found many of there articles to be quite informative.
�In the Christian home, husband and wife are to defer to each other in seeking to fulfill each other's preferences, desires and aspirations. Neither spouse is to seek to dominate the other but each is to act as servant of the other, in humility considering the other as better than oneself. In case of decisional deadlock they should seek resolution through biblical methods of conflict resolution rather than by one spouse imposing a decision upon the other.�
This is a big problem when men seek to rule over women as if they were still under the curse of the fall. The opposite extreme would be woman ruling or usurping authority over the man as exemplified in Revelations 17 and the Great harlot Babylon using seducing spirits and making merchandise of the souls of men. I clearly believe this usurping authority has to do with a woman playing the harlot, even in marriage, to control the man. Both extremes are wrong.
Just to clarify, I am not saying that man takes the place of Christ because of these scriptures. Anyone should know that, without any real study. That is just a way of twisting the views of people to try to prove a point. I have never met a Christian who ever made that claim, it is always those that are trying to lead people astray who accuse us of that.
In the example you gave of the Greek equivalent of mankind, I noticed you didn't say that was the word used in these scriptures. Of course you didn't because that would be a lie. These scriptures are clearly, and very plainly, setting roles for the married couple. There are so many scriptures relating to this, that I am personally surprised that there can be any debate.
If you don't want to be a spiritual leader, or if she doesn't want to submit to a man, I really don't care. But, Please, stop trying to lead others down the wrong path. Just say you are not going to do it and leave it at that, but there are many who have never read their Bibles, and they deserve a chance to learn the truth before they have to face this kind of test. Let them learn the truth before you try to deceive them.
I know you both think I am angry with you, but that is not so. I love you both, and I understand why both of you are saying the things you are. But God still loves you, and so do I. I really feel much pain and sorrow for you both. I pray that you both receive healing for your hurts.
In the mighty words of Jesus, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do".
