Before
I begin this message, let me provide a short disclaimer: although I do
encourage women to move freely within the order provided by God in their
local churches, my goal is to exalt and celebrate a primary grace that
God has placed specifically within women, which the Lord Himself has
used in past times to release revival.
The Genesis Distinctions
When
the Lord created humankind, He placed unique graces in man and separate
but equally unique graces in woman. He told Adam to name the species of
life on earth "and whatever the man called a living creature, that was
its name" (Gen. 2:19). This "naming" was much more than calling the dog
"Spot." Adam was created with an organizational, administrative capacity
that enabled him to identify and define the world around him. By naming
the living things, Adam not only brought them into his consciousness,
but he introduced order and structure to the human experience. Adam did
not create the world, of course, but by defining the things God brought
to him, he helped establish reality.
A Word to the Women of God
The Utterances of God
By Francis Frangipane
Much of what we are living today we were speaking yesterday. Of course, not everything in one's future is determined by his words. However, in real ways, our words are seeds that bloom in future hopes and fears; they are the trailblazers of our future, the pioneers of our tomorrows.
Still, most of us are too casual, or ignorant, about the weightiness of our words. Recall: it was Jesus Himself who warned, "For every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment." He continued, "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matt. 12:36-37 NKJV).
