Sounds like pastoring to me.

Sis, I think you done went to preachin'. I'm shoutin' "AMEN!"

[Sister Alvear]

When I said Thus saith the Lord...I did not mean just sit in a room and wait for someone to say, thus saith the Lord but I meant I really want to hear from Him...fresh manna from a table HE has prepared...not a repeat of some classic sermon because it went over good somewhere...I really want to hear from the Lord.

Sis Alvear, question for you....

As a woman preacher, how do you respond to those who use this scripture verse to say that God does not call women preachers ?: "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence"

(Pardon me if the question has been asked before of you on this forum.)

I have never claimed to be a preacher in the terms Americans use the word preacher. God never told me, go preach. He told me He had called me to be a missionary to Brazil. I have never been ordained or anything like that.

However that scripture was taking about homelife in my opinion.

I am not for forward, brazen women prancing across pulpits trying to act like a man. I believe in headship however I do believe God uses women...the greatest way a woman can be used is having a meek and quite spirit.

Gifts make room for themselves. I personally have never had any problem even with men that are hard against women.

I have walked into whole pagan villages and won men and women to the Lord. However telling them the story of Jesus changed many lives and I do not feel I was out of my place...Maybe some man SHOULD have went but he did not.

Today, I am a married woman and my husband does all the "man" stuff along with our sons that are preachers...
