Huldah amazes me
 

She was asked to give the Lord`s opinion after a book of the Law was rediscovered. Strange that Jeremiah was not consulted...

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Here are a few theories: That's probably b/c as a man Jeremiah had something more important to do at the time. Or maybe Jeremiah was the final spiritual covering and authority over what Huldah said. Or maybe Huldah was usurping Jeremiah's authority. Or maybe the people that asked her opinion were backsliden and in rebellion against God's order. Therefore whatever she thought the Lord was leading her to do was null and void. :heeheehee

Or maybe God really does use women in positions of spiritual authority. No. That would be too much of a stretch.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Or maybe she was just a servant of the Lord who was known for her consistent, ethical, honest, spiritual and intellectual abilities. Maybe she was known to be in favor with God and Man.

:clap

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Well, whatever it was she gave them the word of the Lord...
I find the circumstances quite interesting...
Her words from God brought quite a revival to the priesthood and to the nation of Israel.
I don´t think she usurped authority at all. She took no authority sharing God´s word. She fulfilled her duty as a prophetess. I just have always wondered where Jeremiah was at the time?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

I preached at one of our churches tonight...I took no authority over anyone...only shared with them a beautiful Bible story.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

There was a pastor in my home town of Nerk, Ahia that was part of a LARGE Pentecostal organization. His wife had more power in her 15 minute testimony than he did in a 2 hour hells fire and brimestone message. Good lord could she speak and sing, Her's was to God's glory therefore it actually moved God which brought his presence down. His? well not real sure?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

I used to preach in Newark...years ago....

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

really? who for? did you know Marvin and Ethel Jacks? or any of the Jacks for that matter. They thought they were the levitical priesthood for today I think. So many of them and all trying to be preachers, with a few succeeding

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

I met them years ago...I preached for Jimmy Lee and Charles Smith...

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Do you know Brother Mike Phillips? He grew up in the Lee´s church.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

YES
I know Mike very well.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

He was always so sweet. got to visit their church a few years ago in Vidor.

Mike Lee also pastors.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Charles Smith?
Wasn't he ALJC?
Weren't there several Smith brothers in that part of Ohio?
like Guy Smith in Zanesville plus at least one more?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

I really love Mike and Connie they are a great couple.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

That´s right...I knew Charles and Guy but it seems there were more...been a long time ago...I used to preach for the Goings in Columbus. Did you ever know them?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Did you know that Charles Smith passed away this past year? When I left my brothers church back almost 16 years ago I went to the church that Charles had pastored. At that time T L Kirk was pastor. He is now the Bishop and his son James is now the pastor.

I know Mike Lee but did not know the elder Lee. Mike and is wife his are good people.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

I knew of the Goines but did not know them. Guy and Charles had another brother that was in church but did not pastor and then several sisters. They may have had another brother also but not sure of any other names.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

WOAH!! Don't you understand that this happened in the OT?

Once women got baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost in the NT, they lost any chance at all of acting in a leadership capacity and were regulated to bake sales and such. ;) TIC

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

MP had left Lee's church back in the late 60's early 70's sat under and helped my dad for several years before marrying and then he evangelized for years before pastoring in AL and now in TX.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

What a small world...I used to preach for Mike´s daddy and Mike was just a kid...He made a fine man...I always thought a lot of Mike.
Did you know Brother Welch that pastored right out of Newark?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

My, my...so guess you knew his sister Jenette?

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

They were ALJC and yes Guy was in Zville and Charles in Newark and then relocating in Heath. Both churches are still going strong but both men are now gone.

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Now, Newman you know it is the men that are to wait the tables according to the scriptures?:friend

Re: Huldah amazes me
 

Yes, her son is currently in Tx with his uncle. She helps with my mom. My mom is 81 and her mind is slipping faster than her physical health. Jeanette comes and helps with her hair.

Re: Huldah amazes me

"Love not the world, neither the things of the world, if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

Repent, and promise not to lust after "movie theater" popcorn again, that it may be well with thy soul.
