Women In Ministry

By Jewels Prophet

“We have seen the Lord”, declared Mary Magdalene. Everything G-D says and does is for a reason. The design for humans were for the sole purpose of bringing about a means in order to meet a particular need and to accomplish a specific task. Ultimately, this will bring the people into line with their Mission.

Mary was ordained as an apostle by the Angel at the sepulcher. Mary’s ordination and the message she carried were confirmed by Christ. Mary was the first ordained apostle. Mary was called and chosen. She was commissioned and sent forth with a special message. This very special message brought about a sacred historical change-The Pentecostal Era.

The Creator has inaugurated a plan for each soul of which has been predestined that the people must walk in. When this concept has been impregnated deep within someone’s spirit and they are eager to please the Creator and contribute to mankind and not their self-egos, then they will be able to recognize those Elected whether male or female.

No one should think that because they have not been elected to an office within the Five-fold ministry that their ministry or purpose is not as important or that their call is not pertinent to the Body. We all will be held culpable to fulfill the perfect plan proposed for our lives and to execute it at the level of ability, which they have been given. Everyone’s purpose and function is consequential, imperative and necessary for the growth and orderly function of the Body; Divine Protocol, Authority and Divine Order.

The Daughters have a special inherent mothering instinct of which the Creator implanted and wants to use to build up the Body to nurture and protect royal progeny. How befitting for the break-down of the gender barrier with a message linked to the death, burial, and resurrection! Are women to be bond or free? What was Paul saying?

About the Author

A Note from the Author

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one who thought Women in the Ministry worth their time and effort. At times, I am sure that I came off as an arrogant angry woman. I do admit that I get quiet indignant when it comes to defiling GOD’s Word as those who, misrepresent My Lord and Savior. A righteous anger stirs within me when I see daughters of GOD being treated atrociously.

I appreciate those who have given me opportunity to be obedient to GOD and to give what GOD has revealed to me. It is my prayer that all the people of GOD come into the Unity of Faith in the realization of who they are as a Christ.

I am but one of His mouthpieces, which He has chosen and ordained. Although I am flesh and bone, I pray that GOD can be seen in me. My only agenda is to do what GOD would have me to do and say whatever He would have me to say. I know nothing other than what GOD has shown and as a Christ in Him I am crucified. - Your Humble Servant,

Forward

The task of writing a forward for a book is an awesome responsibility and yet, a beautiful privilege. Many people quickly decide to purchase a book or put it back by the acknowledgments, introduction, and/or forward. My prayer is that you will carefully consider what the Apostle have written in regards to women in ministry.

A woman in ministry has been a controversial subject since the early Church was established in biblical times. The Bible gives instruction concerning this subject. Due to private interpretation and doctrinal differences, we still find the Body of CHRIST struggling with many issues. No matter what your theological, doctrinal, or denominational background might be, this book should increase your faith and inspire you to diligently seek GOD for your place in His plan. I encourage you to read Women in the Ministry to better equip yourself for service, to enlighten yourself of another viewpoint, and to come to a better understanding of other’s hurts and struggles in ministry. If you are associated with one of the organizations mentioned, accept this as one minister’s instruction and give her room to express herself. I encourage you to walk in love toward one another and refuse to pick up anothers offense. These offenses are individual based upon personal experiences and need addressing. However, it is unwise for us to take them upon ourselves. GOD may choose to use you to minister in one of these places, minister with grace, love, and obedience. Fully follow GOD and have no expectations in man. "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves," remembering that "Charity (love) never faileth". (Matt. 10:16; I Cor. 13:8a)

My hope and prayer is that what is contained herein will bless the reader’s heart and inspire all to fully follow our Sovereign GOD. - Pastor Shirley Sweat

Preface

Adam took and ate of the fruit, which GOD told him not to eat. Adam then blamed the woman that GOD had made for him. Women have struggled to surface above the idea of being that woman-the temptress-the Jezebel.

Male spiritual leaders often see women as usurping the authority of men. From whence came the authority of Deborah who judged Israel? What about the GOD-given authority of Esther who reigned powerfully as queen and preserved GOD’s people from destruction? What if there had been a rule that Anna could not touch and prophesy over the MESSIAH? For that matter, what would have happened if Eunice and Lois were not allowed to train a young man named Timothy?

Many have taken the text, Let your women keep silence in the church, completely out of context as this book will show. Had the LORD wanted women to keep silent, forbidding them to spread the Gospel of JESUS, He would have never spoken to the Samaritan woman at
