1 | Women whosay "God called me to pastor | 1 Tim 2:12 | cherrilee | 89103 | ||
I have a friend who is a minister (female) though I have n problem with that since she is not leading but doing street evangalism and prison ministry, she says called told her she is called to pastor a church. She claims that when men will not step up to the plate, women sometimes have to (LIKE BEING A SPIRITUAL LEADER OF THE HOME WHEN THE MAN IS ABSENT OR UNWILLING). I think that God would not contradict His word and she has heard from familiar spirits. Please give me help as to help her see what is correct. | ||||||
2 | Women whosay "God called me to pastor | 1 Tim 2:12 | gracefull | 89146 | ||
cherrilee, Go into quick search and read the various threads. There is much said on the subject. I believe the best comment I would make to you would be to let love rule in your relationshp. Each time you are troubled in your mind and heart, pray the prayer in Clossians 1 for your friend in faith believing, doubt not. The call and the annointing to teach is acceptable for a woman in most church bodies. So I question the interpretation of a woman should not teach nor usurp authority 1 Timothy 2:12. The term usurp authorty means to take by force or without legal right. This does not mean a woman does not or can not have the legal right, but she should not usurp the authority God has placed over her(husband first, then pastor). God will not bless a spirit of rebellion in a woman or a man. We as children of God are expected to recognize and submit to the authority God has chosen to place over us. My suggeston to you is to not allow the enemy to place a wedge betwen you and als to alw the Holy Spirit to closely examine your own heart in the matter. Acts 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. God bless |
