I have been reading alot about Maria Woodworth-Etter.She began her ministry in 1885.She had 6 kids but 5 died and her husband was deranged.She was discouraged because he did not have the desire for ministry to the point she became ill.He told her she couldn't preach but God gave her a vision of her preaching and sheaves falling over, so she preached and the power of God fell. You will never hear about these women unless you literally search it out for yourself.I couldn't believe it when I read her story because I have 5 kids and my husband has no heart for ministry at all yet I have the desire to serve the Lord.Just like Moses though I told the Lord if you don't come with me Im not going.I really don't care if I just work in a soup kitchen. God gave me Psalm 18, and I can see things happening at my work that it's hard to explain.It says in psalm 18 "that the strangers shall submit themselves to you".I am a really hard worker and I stand out above the rest-not being proud.I figure if Im not allowed to serve the Lord the way I want than Im going to work my way to the top at my place of employment,but I give God all of the glory and I share my faith at work.Now Im being promoted and whenever I see that something needs to be done a certain way everyone listens to me.My husband has an associates degree and has tried for fifteen years to get promoted and hasn't been able to.All I have is a high school diploma and I have all of the executives listening to me, but it's all the Lord. When the power of God is working in your life no one can stop you even if they throw you in a prison like Joseph. Would you give us your testimony rebecca01??

What does that have to do with feminism? This kind of stuff should really be handled over PM.

I was reading in Genesis 33 about how Jacob was going out to meet Esau and Jacob was afraid that Esau would attack him because of stealing his birthright.Well anyway I was thinking what a bummer it must have been for Leah being married to Jacob.The bible said that Leah was hated but Rachel was loved.In verse 2 this is what Jacob did when he went out to meet Esau: v1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men.And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel and unto the two handmaidens. v2 And he put the handmaidens and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
So if they attacked the handmaidens and their children would be killed first than Leah and her children, last of all Jacob and Racheal, unless of course they are able to escape.It's kind of funny when you read it.Can you imagine being a woman in those days!!!

..can you imagine being a samarian woman in those days? imagine this: you are pregnant. you are unfamiliar with judaism and have never heard of god. you live peacefully with your family and you live by your culture's standards. one day, an army of jews storm your city. they slaughter all of the men, women, children, livestock and loot it. they burn all the crops and homes....
...worst of all, they claim to do all this in the name of god, and they rape the women in front of their husbands before killing them. they take you out back and they rip your unborn child out of your womb and let you bleed to death.
...all for the glory of god. amen.

I beleive everyone knows there is a God they just don't know God because the earth declares the glory of God and the fool says there is no God the bible says.I have never heard of the Isrealites raping women.If that ever did happen it was not in the will of God that's for sure.
They did however slaughter the men women and babies because they were God's enemies.Jesus said he that is not for me is against me.God hated Esau before he was born.The bible says; "Jacob have I loved but Esau I have hated." God knows the end of man, not just the beginning.It's not just an innocent baby it is a person that is against everything that God is maybe not in it's present state but in it's future state.God knows the potential of that human being if it's for good or for destruction. Actually God said to kill them all and the Isrealites spared some of them and made them slaves.That's why we have all of these problems in the middle east, 911, wide spread terrorism and thousands of American soldiers dying everyday.
Now were getting off topic and I don't want to upset anyone so we might have to start a new thread.
