I'm a guy, and I ha...Right on, Sister Phoebe!!! I'm a guy, and I have to admit: one of the best preachers/teachers of the Word I've EVER heard is Joyce Meyer! She explains her credentials so simply: In Christ, there is "no respect of persons" "nor male or female", as Christ and Paul taught! That does it for me! Many male preachers ought to be neutered and tossed into Gehenna for all the good they are to the kingdom! I spoke with two in the last two days, alerting them of heretics they were allowing to preach in their churches this week. It mattered not to them; they knew these speakers "personally", so I guess, God's truth has to take a back seat now because these males think they have it all together. I reminded them of Mt. 7: 21 ff. It made NO difference! I even directly quoted the heretical Bible passage that they had bastardized...they saw no fault in that! The Bible in question is The Passion Translation (TPT), where it teaches that God HAS TO wear armor when He goes into battle! Check it out: Eph. 6: 13. The Almighty God who spoke the universe into place has to wear armor?! Come on! Who could stand up against Him or cause Him injury? Yep! Not all men know what they're doing...or do they?

It was because she was the weaker vessel that fell and was deceived by the hybrid Word teaching of Satan. Adam was not deceived. He took upon himself the sin of Eve knowingly and willingly. He was a type of Christ taking our sins upon Himself knowingly, and willingly. It is a beautiful thing to see all of us keeping our positions and placing in Christ. But we can't compromise because of the spirit of the day. <br /> Just say what the Word says and leave it stand. You'll never convince this age that a women's ministry is with her children. She can speak in tongues and prophesy in the congregation but not during the service of the Word coming forth. The preaching of the Word is not even permitted to a man who is not chosen for this position by Christ Himself, though the man is Spirit filled. We don't just up and decide we're going to go minister. We minister with our very lives. If God calls us to sherperd a flock or evangelize or to be an apostle (missionary) thats where we should be. If the Will of Christ is not for me to preach then I will follow where He does lead. <br /> Look at Israel. What if Judah decided he wanted the land of Manasseh up by the Sea instead of bording the philistine counrty? Thats not where God placed him. His calling is equally important but it isn't where God placed someone else. What if Benjamin decided he could handle the coast better than Asher? He isn't any less in value to God than Asher just because he doesn't border the Sea. Neither is a woman any lesser in value to God because she isn't permitted to preach or teach. Look at what has happened to our country because women refused to keep the Godly placing an heritage as the minister and guider of the home. Children don't have a clue who Jesus Christ is...and neither to parents or grandparents because of the simple error of wanting to take someone else's place.<br /> God richly bless you brother. Love ya, but you're getting off the Word when you try to appeal to the ideas of this modern age and of the misplacing of our precious wives, sisters, and daughters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967546164856311719.post-34080414416894639102010-10-18T08:00:58.448-07:002010-10-18T08:00:58.448-07:00Wow.
