End Time Army of Women Preachers Psalms 68:11

[Sister Alvear]

Such an awesome thing happened tonight...I sure did not plan to preach tonight as it was a special service and I thought Raul Jr would preach or Brother Alvear...I did not even take the right Bible! After they called Raul Jr he said my father is going to say something but I want my mother to say something after him since this church is the fruits of labor of many years ago of my mother...There sat the 1st pastor's wife in her 80's...It was over 40 years I had known her....but the most part were young people...I had no idea what to say but as I walked to the pulpit the Lord spoke to me and said, Marriage trouble....I told the church what the Lord said...and we waited a few minutes in HIS presence and the Lord once again spoke to me to tell them to repent... and forgive...It was not long until several couples came to the front weeping...and we all gathered around praying.
What I did not know and the pastor told me after church one of those couples was in deep marriage problems and things were really bad...really...really bad....
They made things right and so did some others...after church they wanted to know if we could stay a little longer and go eat with them a little snack...so 20 or so of us went rejoicing with these little couples that God mended their broken hearts....Oh, what rejoicing....
I thought of the little song coming home tonight...If I can help somebody then my living will not be in vain....
My son told me coming home he knew about the problem and he knew whatever he said they might know he knew...but he knew I knew nothing....
So whether you call it prophecy...or whatever just glad to be a part of helping people in someway....

Finally!


This is biblical "prophecy" (προφητεύω) - & is exactly what I've been trying to get y'all to see for 70 pp. now.



Biblical prophecy is either spontaneous foretelling or an instantaneous revealing of things hidden to the natural eye - not a "sermon from the Scriptures."



I whole-heartedly rejoice in true biblical "prophecy" !

[Sister Alvear]

We do not need support from people that do not believe in us...God has an army of people that have stood with us over 45 years...I would not even want money from someone that does not believe in me...However like I have said a lot of times....I never heard the lord call me to preach He called me to be a missionary...so anyone saying they will not support us because of me does not really know us well...God called me to be a missionary...and yes I believe in women preachers...and grew up listening to Sister A. O. Holmes and Sister C.P. Williams all my life...

[Sister Alvear]

Well, goodnight...we just got in from our journey...it is 4:12 in the morning here....and tomorrow night I do have a job to do....

[Sister Alvear]

One of the best sermons I ever head preached was by Sister Lambeth in a little village church probably 42 years ago....What I say to one I say to all watch....never forgot that sermon....

Also, that passage in 1 Corinthians 14, if applied in the same way as the part that supposedly forbids a woman to preach/speak/teach in a church service, says that if wives want to learn anything they need to ask their husbands at home so another man shouldn't be teaching married women in the church that is the husband's job.
See how easy it is to pull the scriptures out of context? That is the whole problem with the two verses that keep being tossed out as the ultimate be all end all regarding women preachers: they are pulled out of a larger context that is damaged when these verses are wrongly applied.

"If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings."



The verse begins with what's called a "conditional particle" (εἰ) - indicating an introduction to an ensuing "condition" (in this case "IF" the woman wants to ask questions). The point of proper decorum & order is underscored by Paul's usage of the conjunction translated "for" (γάρ) in the last clause - as in "FOR it is improper for women to speak in church meetings."



Hence, verse 35 is only underscoring & strengthening the point of verse 34 - not weakening it in any way.

Yes I do - You just did it !

Well, you should know - you just did it !

Nice try - LOL - the men know how to read reams & reams & reams of textual facts, word definitions, exegesis, syntax (do you even know what that is??), context & plain Bible instructions (all of which y'all stubbornly defy) - oughta' give it a try someday !
