His Image Manifested - Women's Week

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."  Genesis 3:15

"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there I neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:27-29

In honor of Mother's Day, His Image Manifested has declared the week before as Women's Week.  This week is not only to honor mother's, but all women because women have been the target of this world's  adversary from the beginning.  We all know the story, right?  The serpent comes into the garden and has conversation with Eve in which she willfully engages in.  The enemy makes insinuations, inclinations, suggestions and lies to her about her Father in whom she and her husband fellowships with daily in the cool of the day in the garden.  Yet, she continues her "Pow Wows" with satan. 

His aim was to steal, kill and destroy the relationship with her Father and to ultimately bring to them his demise.  This happens by speaking dark thoughts into your mind and hoping for you to take hold of them so that your mind and eyes can be darkened.  It also happens by using the natural realm to wreak havoc on your emotions and psyche thereby causing you to believe that you are in situations that you will never overcome. 

Since the time in the garden, women have been under attack from multiple directions.  There is so much inequality that women have faced and still face at the hands of so many including government, free enterprise and religion.  Satan uses these structures and systems to keep women in the dark; away from truth.  The truth about what, you ask?  The truth about her worth, her power, her influence, her beauty, her self and her inheritance in Christ. 

Women in America for the most part have been oppressed economically (wages and earning power), abuse (physically, economically and emotionally) and by alienation (being left to raise children alone). Women are demoralized in other areas of the world in ways that we in America can't even fathom.  The recent situation in Nigeria where the terrorist group kidnapped over 300 plus girls from a boarding school has infuriated me in such a way that I can see exactly the adversary's purpose and plans for women.  His purpose is to shut you down to the point that you have no positive thoughts and no light within and about yourself.  It is to literally take you down in the physical realm so that you are no good to anyone on an emotional or spiritual level.  It is meant to perpetuate curses and evil that have run through your bloodline for centuries all of which you have been freed from through the precious blood of Jesus.  It is to get you to pass on to the next generation poverty, pain, disdain, illegitimacy and worthlessness. 

The statistics are staggering.  The fact is, women are targeted for misuse when they are children.  They are trafficked, sold, used, and abused. This is a big billion dollar business, even in America. See the stats here: Female Trafficking in America.  Not to mention how women are oppressed in religion, made to dress a certain way, unable to receive an education, told that their only purpose is to get married and serve their husbands and children like a slave. 

The Terrorist who claims to be responsible for the girls abduction

Some sects in Christianity hold similar beliefs when it comes to oppressing women.  They can't wear this, or that; they can't preach in church; they are only useful in certain areas of the church.   This is not biblical, nor is it the way of Christ.  The scripture says that we are all ONE in Christ Jesus.  We are ALL heirs according to the promise. See Galatians 3:28.  For those of us who are in the Body of Christ, we must be challenged to release the women to do what God called them to do.  Women are just as gifted, talented and spiritually in tune as her male counterpart.  We are to be One in the Body.  Jesus even prayed to His Father "Make them one as You and I are One." No motivation should be to dominate but to love.  Our motivation for the world must be love.  "For God is love and everyone who loveth is born of God and knoweth God.  He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love."  See 1 John 4. Keeping one under subjection, submission, and beneath is not motivated by love, therefore, those who operate in such ways don't know God.

The woman and the adversary were put in enmity with one another which means they immediately became enemies.  The serpent has been pulling out all of the stops to keep women oppressed, distressed, depressed, and suppressed for centuries.  The passage in Genesis 3 was speaking of Mary and Jesus. We must take from that passage that we must recognize, know and understand that Jesus's foot has already crushed the head of satan and that he lost when Jesus said "It is Finished" on the cross. Know your rightful place Queen's.  You have been translated out of darkness into His marvelous light.  Your name has  been changed and your spirit has been elevated to where Jesus sits, in the heavenly sphere above all principalities and powers and every name in the heavens and earth.  Come out of your depression.  Come out of your impoverished thought processes.  Come from among the oppressor.  Quit the conversations and the "Pow Wows" with the enemy.  Quit believing the lies.  Come into the Light of Life where there is love and acceptance in the Beloved.

I pray that you have been blessed and encouraged by this word.  The word of God can NEVER return void, it MUST accomplish what it was set out to do.  You are GREAT in God's eyes.  See yourself as He sees you and be delivered once and for all from people's opinion and actions.
