A woman’s place in ministry is based off the revelation knowledge she has of GOD’S word, and her place in the true church of JESUS CHRIST is based off the revelation knowledge she has of GOD’S word, because if any man or woman lacks the revelation knowledge of GOD’S word in CHRIST JESUS, then you will have no place, no power, and no spiritual authority in the body of CHRIST.
But there are many self-righteous hypocrites who twist the word of GOD and the scriptures, to make it SEEM like a woman does not have a place, power, or any spiritual authority in CHRIST JESUS, and the men who twist the word of GOD, they do it, because they lack revelation knowledge!~
People, in the bible women were prophets in the Old Testament and the New Testament, women were some of the first evangelists, and it was a woman who used to be a prostitute JESUS appeared to first, and that same woman who used to be a prostitute went and told the rest of the disciples that JESUS had risen!
Women, many of these self-righteous hypocritical leaders will tell you that woman should not rule over a man, but if a man does not take his place of rule in GOD’S kingdom, then GOD will choose whomsoever makes themselves available to do his will, and it does not matter if it is a man, woman, or a child, because GOD is not a respecter of persons like many of you people are!
People, the office of a Prophet is the high calling of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, because all the prophets are subject to GOD alone, they are led by the spirit of GOD, they hear from GOD, they speak the oracles of GOD, and they receive their spiritual authority from GOD!
Men, if a woman can be GOD’S anointed prophet in the Old and New Testament, then who are you to tell a woman what she can or cannot be in the kingdom of GOD or in the body of CHRIST?
(2 Kings 22:12-20) Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Michaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,
“Go, inquire of the LORD for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is aroused against us, because
our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke with her.
Then she said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel, ‘Tell the man who sent you to Me, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants—all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read— because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath shall be aroused against this place and shall not be quenched.’ ” ‘
But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Concerning the words which you have heard— because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the LORD.
Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.” ‘ ” So they brought back word to the king.
“Women, The Prophetess Huldah was GOD’S prophet in the Old Testament, and the high priest and the king of Israel went to the Prophetess Huldah to get a word from GOD!”
(Exodus 15:20-21) Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
“Women, Miriam was the sister of the Prophet Moses, and Miriam was also a Prophet of God!”
(Acts 21:8-9) On the next day we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
“Women, Phillip was an evangelist, apostle, teacher, and pastor, and GOD blessed Phillip with four daughters who were prophets, and they did prophesy.”
(JUDGES 4:4-9) NOW DEBORAH, A PROPHETESS, THE WIFE OF LAPIDOTH, was judging Israel at that time.
And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun; and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand’?”
And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!”
So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
(Judges 5:5-7) The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD GOD of Israel.
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, UNTIL THAT I DEBORAH AROSE, that I arose a mother in Israel.
“Women, Deborah was a prophetess who ruled and judged Israel, and she ministered to all the people of Israel, and she helped raise up one of Israel’s great judges named Barak!”~
(John 20:10-18) Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. But Mary stood without at the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the tomb, And seen two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of JESUS had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman, why do you weep?
She said unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was JESUS.
JESUS said unto her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?
She, supposing JESUS to be the gardener, said unto JESUS, Sir, if you have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
JESUS said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
JESUS said unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my GOD, and your GOD.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
(John 4:4-42) But He needed to go through Samaria.
So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Now Jacob’s well was there. JESUS therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. JESUS said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
JESUS answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of GOD, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
JESUS answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
JESUS said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” JESUS said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
JESUS said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
GOD is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
JESUS said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
JESUS said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”
So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
And many more believed because of His own word.
Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
“Woman, some of the first evangelist in the bible were women, and one of them used to be a prostitute, and the other one used to be an adulterous woman!”
Women, you can let religion, religious men, self-righteous religious hypocrites, and the worthless traditions of men hold you back from being everything GOD has ordained for you to be in CHRIST JESUS, but I dare you to seek after CHRIST JESUS with your whole heart, mind, and soul, that you might become everything GOD has called and ordained you to be in him!~
“I double dare you!”~
