Women were major participants in the life of the early Church (Acts 1:14 - 15). Ministries which flowed from the gifts of the Spirit were open to them: they were leaders in the Church (Rom 16:1-2, 6, 12), they taught (Acts 18:26), they prophesied (1 Cor 11:5), and performed the functions of deacons (Rom 16:1).
A deacon to us in Brazil is a young preacher not someone sitting on some deacon board trying to tell the pastor what to do...

I really don't like to get too involved in this topic and only did so because I was asked to do so. I have seen too many people destroyed over differences...I prefer the high road...
I have too many kin folks that hate Pentecostal churches because of so much murder in our mist...
Whatever we agree or disagree on there is a possibility we could be wrong...so my dear ones please be careful what you say for it all comes home...
The decieved do not know they are decieved...
I have long studied women in the gospel because of Branham's teachings...the Catholic church teachings..and Jewish teachings...

I always tell my friends the stories of millions that have never heard...I weep that we disagree on the fact who tells them...
a story from another book of mine...



Not even a foreign language is hard for the devil. The lady was rolling on the ground. She was demon possessed. She spoke to me in perfect English, even though she in herself did not know one word of the English language.
“I hate you!” “Why do you hate me?” I asked. “You have come to set these people free, I hate you, go away, I hate you.” She began tearing at her clothes in desperation.
Oh! How the devil hated the thought that he was defeated forever at Calvary. We commanded the demons to leave her. She calmed down, breathed a sigh, and as suddenly as they had come, they left.

Sis. Alvear, I had a similar experience in which a demon spoke through this individual and said he hated me. It sure made my day. It would have been very upsetting had he said he loved me.

Mother Alvear, your words here have amazed me. You are a true giant and I pray for you daily.

Ive read a LOT of what youve written here and plan on printing and reading with greater focus all of it.

You are AWESOME. if the rest of us could just get half of your passion for the lost, what a impact we could have.

Ever see a man carry a baby? (And I am not sure that feminism is against paternity leave.)

I think paternity leave is great as well. I've seen couples split the leave between the two of them.
