WHY THE DEVIL HATES WOMEN
By Kimberly Daniels

The devil hates women! That is the reason there is so much erroneous teaching in the body of Christ concerning what a woman can or cannot do. The devil wants to keep women in bondage because he knows that women possess an arsenal on the inside of them that annihilates darkness.

The devil hates women because of what is in them -- warfare. It is the seed of the woman that will destroy Satan and his seed (see Gen. 3:14-15).

God has placed a spiritual alarm inside women calling them to do battle. This alarm is sensitive to the seed or fruits of the satanic realm. Women can sense the set-up of Satan with great accuracy. They have an alarm to identify the seed of the enemy -- whether it be a wrong business move, a wrong association or something else out of line with God's will. There is a natural enmity between them and the dark side that demands confrontation. For that reason, Satan seeks to destroy the woman of God.

Isn't it interesting that the demonic realm can easily recognize the value of what God has placed on the inside of women, yet the religious systems of today still try to put God's women on the back burner of silence?

Not only do women have the word of the Lord inside them, but they also have the calling and anointing to do battle. The revelation and reality of this calling has risen to another level in these last days.

Women are more than "sugar and spice and everything nice," as a popular nursery rhyme describes little girls. The second chapter of Joel speaks of "the fig tree," "the grapevine" and "the olive oil." I believe this is what God's little girls are made of. The oil represents the anointing, the fig tree represents the sweetness, and the wine (or grapevine) represents the new thing.

When God's girls begin manifesting these things in their families, their churches and the world, the enemy will be filled with terror. He knows that women will impact their world for God, just as the early church did in the Book of Acts.

Jeremiah 31:22 says: "How long will you waver and hesitate [to return], O you backsliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the land [of Israel]: a female shall compass (woo, win, and protect) a man" ("The Amplified Bible").

The "new thing" that the prophet Jeremiah spoke of has a direct relationship to Joel's prophecy of the last days. Joel prophesied that God would pour out His Spirit on ALL mankind. The bondage of the silence of God's handmaidens would be broken (see Joel 2:28).

When Jeremiah stated that "a woman shall compass a man," he was not saying that she would rule over (as to overtake) him (Jer. 31:22, KJV). The Hebrew word for compass is "cabab," and it means "to surround or be about on every side." "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance" gives several action words to describe "compass": close, come, go, stand, round about, remove, sit, down, turn self about, aside, away, back.

Translation? In every way and in every place you look, God will be using a woman! She is His secret intelligence weapon.

What does that mean to you? It means you need to get ready! God is raising up women in this hour with a tenacity to confront the devil, and He wants YOU! As the commercial used to say, "You've come a long way, baby" -- and God has an assignment for you that will do serious damage to the enemy's kingdom. No wonder Satan feels the way he does about you!
