WOMAN
MINISTERS,
PRAISE THE LORD FOR WOMEN MINISTERS

Corinthian women
prophesied and prayed in church 1st Cor. 11:4-5. The
scripture in 1st Cor 14:34-35. that is used to condemn women ministers does
not refer to preaching, but to disturbance in church services,
asking or talking out to their husbands in church, as stated in 1st Cor.
14:35. and 1st Timothy 2:11-15
Did you know that women
ministered to Jesus. "Now when the centurion, and they that were
with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were
done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. And
many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from
Galilee, MINISTERING UNTO HIM". Matt.
27:54-55 (KJV)
WOMEN MINISTERS
Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by
faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster. For YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
Gal. 3:24 - 26
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. Gal.
3:27-28
And if ye be
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise.
Gal. 3:29
This is the book of the generations of Adam. "In the day that God
created man, in the likeness of God made he him. Male and female created
he them; and blessed them, and called THEIR NAME ADAM
in the day when they were created." Gen. 5:1- 2
In the gospels we read of several WOMEN MINISTERS who proclaimed
"GOOD NEWS"
(Mat. 28:1-10; Luke. 24:9-11)
In Acts 2:14-21; Joel 2:28-31 God predicted and promised that He Himself
would POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT UPO ALL FLESH (man and woman) AND THEY
WOULD PROPHESY. "He that prophesieth edifieth the church"
(1st Corinthians 14:4)
Prophesying is for the church and general public. 1st Cor. 12:1-31;
14:1-6; 12:24-26, 29-33)
In Acts 21:8-9 it is clear that PHILLIP'S FOUR DAUGHTERS WERE
PROPHETESSES (Woman Ministers), that is, they were evangelists like
their father. This is in perfect accord with Joel 2:28-29 which was
fulfilled in the early church. Acts 2:16 and Acts 2:17-18 which will be
fulfilled in the last days
In Romans 16 we have record of a number of women ministers of the Lord
in various churches. Phoebe (Verses 1-2), Priscilla (V 3-5), Mary,
Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, And Julia (Verses 6-15) These WOMAN
MINISTERS ARE MENTIONED AS LABORERS IN THE LORD
In Philippians 4:2 Euodias And Syntyche Are Mentioned As Being LEADERS
OF THE CHURCH AT PHILLIPPI.
In 1st Corinthians 12 Paul compares the church to a human body and
mentions 9 gifts of the Spirit, including the gift of prophecy, for all
the members of the body of Christ, man and women.
Women were used of God in Old Testament days as prophetesses (Exodus
15:20; Judges. 4:4; 2nd Kings 22: 14; 2nd Chronicles 34:22; Nehemiah
6:14; Isaiah 8:3; Luke 1:39-56; 2:36). The law made provision for women
to make sacrifices, attend feasts, and make vows (Deuteronomy 12:11-18;
Leviticus 27)
God has used a rod (Exodus. 4:2, 17); an ass (Numbers. 22:28); a ram's
horn (Joshua. 6:5); an ox, goad, nail, barley cake, pitchers, jawbone,
millstone (Judges. 3:31; 4:21; 7:13, 20; 9:53; 15:15-19); mantle (2nd
kings. 2:8); ditches (2nd kings 3:16); empty vessels (2nd kings 4:3);
cruise of oil, ravens (1st kings. 17:4, 16); worm, wind, fish, gourd
(Jonah 1:4, 17; 4:6-7); and many other weak things to confound the
mighty (1st Corinthians 1:18-21).
IS IT NOT
POSSIBLE THEN THAT HE CAN USE A WOMAN? WOMEN MINISTERS
