We get it, Falla. If the man isn't spiritual, but his wife is, God will use her.
However, LS is talking to (and about) men who ARE filled with the Holy Ghost, who ARE leading their churches and homes, and is STILL placing the onus on the woman and the alleged power in her uncut hair.
He IS undermining the authoritative position of the man in the church and home, no ifs, ands or buts about it. He is not making the same point that you are. He did not say that men have the same power in the Holy Ghost that women do. In fact, he implied that they have less--that they need women with uncut hair in their homes and churches in order for the anointing of the Holy Ghost to be there, and in order for people to have physical protection and healing.
If he believed men had the same power in the Holy Ghost(from the same context), then why not harp on men having short hair? He even alluded to a story about a man with long hair in one sermon, but he did NOT take the opportunity to talk about the power that was gained when the man cut his hair--only the fact that he lost a potential spirit of homosexuality.
Both Apostolic men AND women have the same Holy Ghost. If a woman has the favor and blessings of God because of obedience to the Word and submission to God and her husband, THEN her husband has the
same favor and blessings (and wisdom, and anointing, and power...) due to
his obedience and submission to God.
