The World Needs Women Ministers

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 388

[TheTWhite]

I just have to let you know that this is EXACTLY what I prayed for yesterday when I became a bit torn and upset about what I was hearing about women preaching and pastoring. Women are very important in God's kingdom, and I appreciate your information about 75% of the world being female or under 15. The way you spoke about this topic couldn't have been more exact of an answer than what I was questioning. Thank you for your humble answer to the scriptures and for your work overall.

[leahbarajas]

As a woman concerned with the same spiritual convictions, I’m wholly thankful for this video! God is more than worthy of receiving each and every person’s heart and worship. I’m thankful for this truth and this very needed video. Thank you Dr. Piper!

may his daughters be used mightily for the glory of our Lord

[pottersurrenderedclay]

I believe with the world that we live in today it truly takes great humility for a daughter of Abba Father to submit to the Order of God. In Genesis, we read that the Snake deceived Eve but during this conversation the snake was having with Eve, Adam was right there, Gen 3:6. You can see this wicked nature and tactics of the snake and the deliberate attack on the HEadship of the male. The snake going to the women does not mean so much that the women would easily be lead astray but more importantly, the snake bypassed the man, therefore, insulting his headship and went straight for his wife and began to entice the bone of Adams bone and flesh of his flesh! The attack has always been on the man! To all of you married men question...can you imagine you and your wife taking a stroll in the park and a stranger comes along and ignores your presence and introduces himself to your wife and begins to take her attention away from you and begins to entice her with his words... how do you think that will make you feel? You see the narrative is not Eve being weak but more about crushing the authority, responsibility, headship, manhood, order, the voice of the man. God created man in His own IMAGE, man and God fellowshipped together for a long while before Eve came on the scene. Imagine that! How encouraging that is to read that Adam had a wonderfully intimate relationship with God and that was without the assistance of a woman. This shows that men are very capable of having a great intimate walk with God. God gave responsibilities to him, He took him and put him in a garden which was already flourishing and only asked for Adam to cultivate it and keep it looking good. He gave Adam AUTHORITY to name EVERY beast formed on earth, sea and air and if that was not enough God gave Adam a companion... Dear sisters listen to The WORDS that came out of Adam's mouth and when he walked close with GOD. Adam says of eve...This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh and she shall be called woman because she was taken from man. Wow, ... These words are powerful and precious and also it was Adam who named his wife woman which means living. Names are significant and have meanings and here Adam was blessing his wife. This was a beautiful Order that God meticulously created and the enemy of God was waiting to destroy it!!! I digressed quite a bit..but i want to hit home with some Truths that no matter what the narrative of the world is, no matter if all the churches ordain women to be pastors and usurp the authority over men...The Word of God will still stand TRUE! Let His Mighty Word be TRUE and every man a liar. My Brothers, I encourage you to rise up with the power that God Almighty has invested in you to take your rightful places and reflect the image of Jesus Christ to a dying and lost world. You are an integral part of Gods plan when you men wake up and align yourself with the Word of God, you truly don't know what damage you are doing in the enemies camp. I ask you in the Name Of Jesus to rise up and don't allow the fear and dismay to take hold of you. Dear sisters let us intercede for our brothers to rise up from the shackles of the lies of the enemy over there precious lives. We pray for GOD Almighty's order to be established in our lives and not the worlds order! Thank you for your patience and God bless you all and God create in us a heart that is contrite and pliable and a hear that is receptive and full of love and humility that we Allow Jesus Christ to LORD OVER OUR LIVES no matter what happens in this fleeting world. Let us continue to champion our Loving Heavenly Father through the Power of The Holy Spirit in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

Joel 2:28 God says in later days, I will pour my Spirit on all people and these are the days God is using his people through obedience and she is one of them.

[marthamsowoya]

That is her calling by God and no man can change it. God is God for all mankind. Jeremiah 32:27

THANK YOU PASTOR JOHN FOR THIS MESSAGE 👍

[lucidlagomorph]

Before asking a question do we have a agenda for what that answer is? - Women can teach women that is a clear scripture. Remember we live in a society where women want to identity as Kings as they feel being a Queen is inferior and beneath them.

[ditr]

Ephesians 4 Paul shares about the five fold ministry: apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, and evangelist in a very telling way. There are no gender exclusive terms used.

Same with other passages that speak of the body of Christ, the gifts of the spirit, etc.

Why did the Holy Spirit direct Paul in the original Greek to write these passages with gender inclusive terms? The Greek to English translation does s disservice in that predominantly masculine nouns and pronouns are used. It's just not so in the Greek.

Also, one needs to take into account Deborah from the Old Testament serving as a precedent.

She was a judge and, therefore, a leader and a teacher over all Israel. If God did it once, he can do it again.

[Followcanaryyellow]

I can agree with the point of view of Paul but would add that Paul established his authority to make that type of decision for the church and his reasoning for making it was because of Eve but no where in scripture is this a command from God, plus how do you explain apostles like Phoebe?

[aisymo]

The title is a bit misleading. Your answer is not completely straight forward yet I gleaned from what you said, that women have 3/4 of the world to minister to while NOT pastoring or teaching men.

[india]

In Corinthians which a New Testament word, us women are to remain quiet in the church so we can’t be leaders or take charge in the church because women were the first to be deceived and so were easily more easy to deceived. And the Bible does tell us also not even talk in the church and go home but to ask our husband for understanding.

We’re all equal to God however our roles are different ladies! And I once was sad that I couldn’t be a preacher but if it’s in the Bible I refused to go against what God instructed. So no we can not be pastors, or large roles in the church. We can still pass the gospel to a friend and family ofc. But the large authority roles and teaching roles are sadly only instructed for the men

[gabby]

I have a question, I am in college and contracted within ROTC and am going to commission as an officer in the Army, all that to say I am trying to figure out what I want to branch. And I would love to branch into the Chaplain corps or some sort of combat arms, but my hang up is, is it biblical and would it honor the Lord for me as a woman to take on those roles?

[frankh.]

The title is very misleading. Most people regard ministers as pastors.

[Galaxy-igsi]

Are we NOT trusting God that men alone can do the job? Statistics does not matter, God's command does matter.

[miguelcarlos]

What about all the men that say they are Pastors and werent even called by God ...but yet there's seems to be a problem with women speaking.

[earnestlycontendingforthef]

Here is the Divinely approved Truth especially written for the Elected
daughters of Almighty God:.
"11 Let the woman learn in silence with
all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression"
1 Timothy 2:10-14 (KJV)
That is the TRUTH, many now do not like it, and refue to comply, but there it is.

And again we plainly see:
"As in all the congregations of the saints, 34 women should remain silent in
the churches.
They are *not allowed to speak*"

*[To talk, i.e. UTTER WORDS :- PREACH, say, speak (after), talk, tell,
utter. —Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary]

"But must be in *submission, as the Law says."

*[To subordinate; reflexive to obey :- be under obedience
(obedient), —Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary]

"35 If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own
husbands at home; for it is *disgraceful for a woman to speak in the
church."

*[A shameful thing, i.e. indecorum :- shame.—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew
Dictionary]

36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has
reached?
37 If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, **let him
acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's** command"
1 Corinthians 14:33-37 (ANIV)

Anyone in here "spiritually gifted" ?

So again that is the TRUTH arrogant rebellious feminists may not like it, but there it is. Any feministic attempt at deviation is against the Truth and the commandment of the Lord.

[valorietompkins]

YES SIR MORE WOMEN THEOLOGIAN MINISTRY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO IMPACT MANY CONGREGATIONS AND NATIONS SIR AWESOME SERMON CLASS TEXT...AGAIN GOD BLESS YOU

[rogercardona]

What if in my church there is a female pastor and she is the only one? I would like to talk with her but I think it´d seem kind of unloving, as there was a male pastor, her father but he is retired and she is the only pastor Now and there is noneone else prepare to take that roll, most of the leaders are women, and there are only 4 guys in ministry.
