Woman Arise!
There was a question that was asked on a given Sunday; Ask God to reveal unto you the mystery of a woman. What is the mystery of a woman that she is likened to the Holy Spirit (helper)
The Bible says that it is the spirit that gives life.
John 6:63
It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.
Eve was not a giver of life but she was the mother of all living things. In other wards she gave birth/ nurtured only living things.
Genesis 3:20
And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
The shunamite woman understood this concept; she refused to believe in her heart that her child was dead because she was a mother of the living. There’s a possible reason why it was not shown to Elijah that her child was dead, I’d say because in the spiritual realm that was not registered. (We know that things first manifest in the spiritual realm before they are manifested in the physical)
Child of God what is that dead thing that you have allowed to register in your heart? Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind and understand that to you it is given to mother only the living….be it in business, relationships, health or workplace.
Your womb gives life even in dark places/situations. A pregnant woman cannot tell how the child is developing in her womb, you cannot tell when it starts getting legs, ears, eyes, hands etc but at the end of 9 months you are sure you are giving birth to a fully developed child because during the course of the journey you have been feeding it with all the necessary nutrients that it needs to grow. Even in darkness where you can not see what is going on, you can sustain your child, business, relationship with the word. Woman arise!
1 Samuel 1:11
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
The Bible says that prophets are the oracles of God, He will not do anything until He has revealed it to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7) but the word of God is also sure hence when you have the word of God you are safe.
During Hannah’s time, they had the word (scrolls) they had the tabernacle where God dwelt and they also had priests that had been consecrated to minister unto the people but having all this did not stop God from being silent
1 Samuel 3:1
And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
Hannah understood the void that was missing. Yes she was provoked by Peninnah because she had no children but when she asked God for a child she did not ask for herself, she asked God for a child that she would give back to him, a child separated for him that would serve him all the days of his life. It was until Samuel was presented to God that the Lord began to speak again.
Even in her uncounciousness she prayed for a prophet, that was her first seed. It is given for a woman to realize the void that is missing and fill that void. Woman arise!
Luke 2:37-38
³⁷And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.³⁸And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Prior to Anna’s visit, Simeon beheld the child praised God and was ready to die, because he had seen Salvation however Anna the prophetess saw the baby Jesus and went to testify about him to ALL who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem. Yes John the Baptist came to prepare the way of the Lord but there was a woman who preached salvation before John did.
John 20:18
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
Mary Magdalene at the tomb was the first person recorded to preach the resurrected Jesus to the disciples
Exodus 3:21-22
²¹And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:²²But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Shall we say then that men didn’t know how to borrow, no…there’s a certain grace women have that when they do it is easily given and also multiply.
The widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 borrowed vessels from her neighbors and multiplied the little oil she had to be able to pay off her husbands debt.
The only other time we see a man attempt to borrow, he almost lost the borrowed axe because it fell in the river Jordan.
2 Kings 6:5
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
There’s a lot I can say about women in the Bible, how because of one woman an entire generation was wiped out. What kind of influence does a woman have that posterity ended because one woman was raped.
Child of God have you accepted the greatness/influence that is within you that once someone touches you wrongly they are punished for it? Or are we still crying about a witch who did and this to you. Woman arise!
Genesis 34:25
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Prophetic Utterance:
I birth forth only living things
Everything dead around me receives life because I have Zoe in me.
I have an unction from the Holy one and I know all things both past, present and things to come
I multiply everything that I touch
Guiding text:
Hebrews 11:35
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
