God’s Plan for the Female
Was it the plan of God for the woman to be in
authority over man?
Genesis 1:26-28. God created male and female in his
image and after his likeness. He gave them the dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moves upon the earth.
They would rule over all that were, that should come
and are on the earth. This was God’s plan for male and female, because they
were created by God as one ruling power. God called them Adam. Genesis 5:1-2 -
the same in created authority.
The Devil came and brought sin into the world. Now,
the woman knows good and evil. God strips her of her power to rule with the
male. Her desires will be toward her
husband. She did not respect God as her
ruler; therefore, she shall be ruled over by her husband. The works of the Devil had started.
Nevertheless, Jesus who is the second Adam was
manifested to take away our sins and destroy the works of the Devil. I John
3:5-8; Romans 5:14. He destroyed the works of the Devil freeing us to enter
into the holy of holiest as one; male and female. Then he gave gifts unto the
church, which is his body (Ephesians 4:8-13). Now through Jesus Christ, the
women can rule-in sainthood-with the man. She no longer sat around while men
are having coffee and speaking of the deep things of God. Jesus stopped all that by telling Martha she
need to do the best thing, not just service to men but the best thing
(Luke 10:39-42). This is a mystery about women being set free from the traditions
of men; freed to do the work of the
Lord.
Paul encourages the single males and females not to
marry. By staying single, you have the world at your disposal without the fear
of wondering when your possessive husband or wife will tell you not to do certain
things. A single male or female that loves God is able to serve him to the
utmost. They don’t have to worry about using their money for the ministry. They
don’t have to worry about what time to be in the house. They do not have to
worry about not fasting and praying. They are totally free to serve the
Lord. As the words taken from the Lion’s King song go, “no body says do this,
no body says be there, and no body says stop this.” God can use a person that
is not under bondage (I Corinthians 7:32-34). What I want you to see from this
scripture is that God uses females, especially if they are single.
The truth of God’s word is hide from the simple.
Simple-minded people are culturally based. They will only read and repeat the
portion of God’s word that fits into their personal belief or their church
doctrine.

About the Book
Can God call a Woman to Pastor is a book about the
sovereignty of the God of creation, Whom we know through the Lord Jesus Christ.
This book is without the subjective denominational, religious and ideological
persuasion that occurs when writers try to sale their point of view. This book
shows that the message and the messenger of the Kingdom of God are not limited
to gender, color or ethnicity. It also shows that the ability to be a leader in
the Church (the world could use this as well) is not based first on our
physical abilities but on our intellectual abilities. The ability to reason
comes from the brain. When it comes to intellect, both the males and females
brains are the same. This is a proven theory without argument. This book supports
the equality for male and female in the Kingdom of God. It also supports the
equality of males and females in the kingdoms of this world. Every one who
wants to exercise their God given right to become a leader will benefit greatly
from this book. This book helps us to be all that we can be without feeling
guilty or intimidated about who don’t believe we should be in the position we
are in. This book is about the freedom
God gives us within the His moral laws.
This book helps to understand what the scriptures
teach in Galatians 3:25 “But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” King James Version.
Once the true Church of Jesus Christ lead the way in
freeing humanity, then the world will follow. As long as there is prejudice in
the Church there will be prejudice in the world. The Church of Jesus is the
leader of peace and harmony. Any Church that preaches bondage may need to look
at the word of God to see if they are part of this Church of Jesus Christ, or
declare they are of themselves.
