ìAnd the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him an help meet for him.î Genesis 2:18
The Lord had revealed to him how and through whom the Church of Jesus Christ
was to be governed. It is as simple as that.
ìUnto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.î
Genesis 3:16 (emphasis mine)
Even in the home, the wife of an unsaved husband is still to be subject to him
and she is not to try to win him over through much preaching.
ìLikewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that,
if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won
by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste
conversation coupled with fear.î 1 Peter 3:1-2
God created man and woman the way He did because it was His good pleasure
to do so. He is the One that established how and who it is that should be the head
of the house and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
ìÖO man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing
formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Hath not the potter power over the clayÖî Romans 9:20b-21a
There are many areas where a woman can be useful and extremely beneficial in
any church or ministry. But any church that is openly run by a woman is
scripturally out of order and vulnerable to evil influences ñ especially the
principality of the Queen of heaven and the spirit of motherhood. One of the more
noticeable effects of this demonic influence is when the man and woman
exchange the roles where God has placed them.
Men and women that have been seduced by this spirit usually take on qualities
of the opposite sex. The women become more manly and the men are usually
effeminate. In extreme cases, they become homosexuals. The man with the
greatest expression of this principality will actually bear its name ñ ìQueenî. Within
the Christian church, those male leaders influenced by the Queen of heaven also
exude a certain effeminate nature, often disguised as ìa loving spiritî. However,
they are unable to stand in any true authority or exercise godly leadership.
Because of their instability, women feel it is their duty to try to influence the church
in the way they believe the Lord wants it to go. Instead of trying to encourage the
man to stand and take the reigns, as the Lord would have them to, they take over.
