Throughout world history women have been
disregarded, abused and ignored.
Although WOMAN has appeared weak physically and mentally, but only God
knows the real power “hidden” in the WOMAN.
The endurance ability in the WOMAN cannot be
compared with. Many statistics have
shown that the WOMAN has endured concentration camps much better and longer
than men. More percentage of the men
died The endurance of ongoing pain in the WOMAN far
surpasses men’s.
She may not pick up boulders or cars, but she
can outlast in pain endurance. She may
not play football, but she can move any house completely inside out and back
again. She may not be the loudest, but
what she says carries great meaning to those who she has given birth to. She may not take a gun and go hunting,
because that is too simple for her mind. She is the one who must know how to
take that which is shot and prepare it in many different ways for her family. Doing simple single focused activities are
quite boring to the WOMAN, because her mind was made to do multitasking,
therefore she was made to see the whole picture, not half of it or only one
part of it.
A few years ago, I was quite alarmed as I was
reading a book concerning women being used by God. My husband and I were on a trip ministering
in SE Asia.
He was busy working and so I decided to read some more in the book which
I had just purchased in the bookstore in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.
I was so excited because the author was stating
how special women are in God’s Army.
After I had read over half of the book, I suddenly made a disgruntled noise,
and startled my husband. He was
concerned that something had happened to me.
I apologized, but then began to read the paragraph which had startled me
in the midst of that book. [I do not
want to cause the author any problems, so I will refrain from telling the title
or author of the book.]
The author made some very profound statements in
his book such as:
“Ignorance of what is
inside a woman provides a lifeline for the bigotry that characterizes so many
prejudicial responses to female actions and behavior.”
“Women
are different because they have not been created to serve men but to
serve with them in a complimentary capacity.”
“By appearing first to
women on Resurrection Sunday, Jesus made them the first messengers, the first
evangelists, the first prophetesses, the first teachers and the first witnesses
of His resurrection. This is no small
privilege.”
“Intrinsically women are
not more godly than men are, but they are definitely more spiritual.”
“When women charge into
battle their enemy will be defeated in the most unexpected way. Surprise will be the key element.”
“Women have not been mere privates in God’s army; instead, they have been
entrusted as key players.”
It is a wonderful book except for one statement
in the midst of all the wonderful ministry to and about women. This paragraph
is fine until the short statement. Here is the paragraph that overshadowed all
the wonderful things that were written in the book:
“The principle of
headship becomes destructive when an adversarial approach is taken to the
male-female relationship in marriage.
Interaction between husband and wife is meant to be an edifying and
uplifting relationship. Those who
embrace male supremacy crush women and lose 50 percent of the workforce, and in
the process, they maim themselves since “It is not good for the man to be
alone.” Those who sponsor a feminist
approach leave women exposed, like Eve was in the Garden, since women cannot stand up to the devil alone. Those who seek a compromise by saying that
headship is legitimate at home but not in ministry take away the key
contribution of headship: protection. Where do women need protection the most, at
home or outside of the home? Obviously,
they need it more when they are out in the world.”
According to the translation of the Bible, that
is embraced by so many Christians, in Genesis 3:6, “she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat.” (KJV) “She also gave to her husband with her,
and he ate.” (NKJV) Apparently Adam was
standing with her while she had the conversation with the serpent, but he said
nothing and did nothing. It is quite
interesting how that He blamed God and the woman for his disobedience.
Deborah did not say she would not go to battle
unless Barak went. It was Barak the man
who said to Deborah the woman, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if
you will not go with me, I will not go.”
Deborah then said, “I will surely go with you;
nevertheless, the trip you take will not be for your glory, for the Lord will
sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.
Jael, a woman, went out and
met face to face with the enemy, Sisera.
She fearlessly invited him
into her tent and gave him something to drink.
She knew how to make him
comfortable to the point he laid down and went to sleep and she even covered
him with a rug. She was alone with this enemy who had been so very powerful with
his army. She knew exactly what to do.
She didn’t hesitate to take a
tent pin and a hammer and gently approached him. She
fiercely drove the pin through his temple and into the ground. She
faced the enemy alone. She outwitted
the enemy. She defeated the enemy.
Satan is intimidated by that hidden power and
strength in the WOMAN. Why do you think that women are being abused
in every way possible? Why do you think
that women are hated? Satan hates that
endurance that was designed in the WOMAN. If she did not have that endurance, she would
never birth a child. God designed and made the WOMAN for such a time as this.
It is time for each WOMAN to
realize her potential, strength and ability to stand in this hour.
Psalm
68:11 (AMP)
The Lord gives the word of
power; the women who bear
and publish the news are a
great host.
Jeremiah
51:20 (AMP)
You are My battle-ax or
maul and weapon of war—for with you
I break nations in pieces,
with you I destroy kingdoms.
