About this ebook
In this book, Stephen Fraser rightly divides the Word of God and brings greater insight into the God-ordained authority that is available for women in the Body of Christ and beyond. No longer can we allow religious tradition to undermine and limit one of our greatest assets. The Bible declares, "The Lord gives the word [of power]; the women who bear and publish [the news] are a great host" (Psalm 68:11, AMP).

CHAPTER ONE
God’s Plan for Women
The first man, Adam, was the absolute picture of perfection, living a life that knew no lack. He was bright, brilliant, and powerful—no other being stood in his class. Then he met his match—someone who was his equal in every way and not inferior to him in any way. This amazing someone was a woman. Soon they would marry and together have dominion over the entire earth.
When this woman, Eve, first came to Adam, she arrived complete, entirely whole, and lacking nothing. She was neither needy nor insecure. It is evident from Scripture that God removed Adam’s rib and used it to form and fashion a woman. Genesis 2:22 says, The rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He BROUGHT HER TO the man
(emphasis mine). If God brought her to the man,
then she wasn’t there with him in the beginning of her life. The word made
