WOMEN OF THE BIBLE
Some churches will not accept women as pastors, but God does.
This is a very dangerous game they are playing ; they create their own doctrines and traditions, instead of the word of God.
God chooses people to be His ministers, not men. Throughout His word, He has chosen many women to be leaders of His church.
Churches have gone so far away from the true teachings of God ; Christ found only two types of churches (out of seven) He was pleased with in Revelation 2 & 3. These churches are in our time. If people knew God through His word (without church doctrines and traditions), they would see how different He is than what they have learnt.
Have you ever wondered there is more to God than what you have been told ?
In this post, we are going to prove to you that God choses women to do His work, and be church leaders.
OLD TESTAMENT.
1. MIRIAM.
MIRIAM was Aaron's and Moses' sister. She was chosen by God to do His work.
Exodus 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess (teacher, pastor, minister), the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel (drum) in her hand ; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Micah 6:4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants ; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
2. DEBORAH
DEBORAH was a religious leader as well as a judge. She delivered the children of Israel out of their enemy's hand when all the others were too afraid to face their enemies.
She was a very brave woman, and knew God would protect her.
Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
SHE WAS CALLED "MOTHER" IN ISRAEL.
Judges 5:7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother (a mother figure) in Israel.
MAKE A NOTE OF JUDGES 4 & 5.
3. HULDAH
HULDAH was a teacher, pastor, minister ; God used her to bring forth His message.
II Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (a tailor) ; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college ;) and they communed with her.
MAKE A NOTE OF II KINGS 22:14-20.
SHE WAS A TEACHER IN THE PASTORAL COLLEGE.
4. RAHAB
RAHAB was chosen by God to do His work. She was accused of being a harlot (not by God, but by men), but she was a business woman.
God used her to bring down Israel's enemy.
MAKE A NOTE OF JOSHUA 2, HEBREWS 11:31.
NEW TESTAMENT
1. TABITHA
TABITHA was a disciple, meaning, a trainee to become a teacher of the word.
Acts 9:36 Now there was at Joppa (means beauty) a certain disciple (mathitis in the Greek) named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas (a deer in the Greek) : this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds (she had a lot of compassion) which she did.
9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died : whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
THEY SENT A DOUBLE WITNESS.
9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber : and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
9:40 But Peter put them all forth (put them out), and kneeled down, and prayed ; and turning him to the body said, "Tabitha arise." And she opened her eyes : and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
PETER WAS CALLED BY JESUS "BARJONA" (THE DOVE IS SYMBOLIC OF THE HOLY SPIRIT). HE WAS THE ONE WHO ESTABLISHED THE CHURCH.
GOD THROUGH PETER PERFORMED THAT MIRACLE. PETER DID NOT DO THIS ON HIS OWN.
9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa ; and many believed in the Lord.
THIS WAS THE REASON MIRACLES HAPPENED AT THAT TIME. THE CHURCH WAS NEW AND THROUGH THESE MIRACLES MANY BELIEVED.
2. PHEBE
PHEBE was God's servant that delivered Paul's letter to Rome.
Her name indicates (Phebe = bright, or pure, the fem. of Phoebus = Apollo, the sun-god) a convert from paganism.
3. PRISCILLA
PRISCILLA WAS A TEACHER, PASTOR, MINISTER.
Romans 16:1 I comment unto you Phebe our sister (sister in Christ, not a relative), which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea :
16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you : for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
A SUCCOURER OF MANY = PHEBE WAS A LEADER IN THE CHURCH.
SAINTS = A SAINT IS NOT SOMEONE WHO A CHURCH LEADER (S) HAS MADE THROUGH WORKS (THAT IS A CHURCH DOCTRINE ; IT IS NOT FROM GOD). ALL CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED SAINTS BY CHRIST.
16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus :
PRISCILLA WAS THE TEACHER, OR PASTOR ; AQUILA (HER HUSBAND) ASSISTED HER.
16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks : unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
MAKE A NOTE OF I COR. 16:19.
4. PHILIP'S FOUR DAUGHTERS
Acts 21:7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea : and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven (6:5) ; and abode with him.
21:9 And the same man (Philip) had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
ALL OF PHILIP'S DAUGHTERS WERE TEACHERS OF THE WORD.
THE LORD TELLS US THAT IN THE ENDTIMES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WILL BE TEACHERS OF HIS WORD.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions :
2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.
2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
THE SIGNS OF THE END TIMES.
2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS = BECAUSE OF THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered : for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
THE REMNANT = GOD'S ELECT. THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL NOT WORSHIP SATAN. EVERYONE ELSE WILL, INCLUDING THE CHURCH (II THES. 2).
NOTE : God chooses both men and women to teach His word.
Do not listen to church doctrines that teach otherwise. The head of the church is Christ, not a man. What He says is the final word, not some preacher who likes people worshipping him.
Listen to "Thus saith the Lord", not "Thus saith my preacher".
A pastor, preacher, priest, minister, can become an idol if you are not careful.
If "it's not written" it's not true.
GOD BLESS
