 Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2007 5:25 pm Post subject: Women have power |
 |
|
Sisters, we may do a noble work for God if we will. Woman does not know her power.
God did not intend that her capabilities should be all absorbed in questioning:
What shall I eat?
what shall I drink?
and wherewithal shall I be clothed?
There is a higher purpose for woman, a grander destiny.
She should develop and cultivate her powers, for God can employ them in the great work of saving souls from eternal ruin. |

How do you propose we fulfill such a role? The world works hard to keep women quiet. Most churches do not encourage women to have a voice. Women are still second class citizens in many ways.
Thanks for the encouragement, Silver but ...

Kiss of charity
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

For he that is joined Himself to that which is immortal, will also himself become immortal
And he, who has pleasure in the Living One, will become living.
This is the Spirit of the Lord, which doth not lie,
which teacheth the sons of men to know His ways.
Be wise and understanding and vigilant.
and on them do I put on. I stand, And He loves me
for I should not have known love the Lord, if not loved me
for who is able to distinguish love except the one that is loved?
I love the beloved and my soul loves Him
and where His rest is, there also am I
For with the Lord Most High and Merciful there is no grudging.
I have been united to Him, for the Lover has found the Beloved,
and because I shall love Him that is the Son
I shall be dissolved into his members
I shall become one

BUT Nothing, Darling.
Caliber of Women for God's Work.
--Women of firm principle and decided character are needed, women who believe that we are indeed living in the last days, and that we have the last solemn message of warning to be given to the world.
They should feel that they are engaged in an important work in spreading the rays of light which Heaven has shed upon them.
Nothing will deter this class from their duty.
Nothing will discourage them in the work. They have faith to work for time and for eternity. They fear God, and will not be diverted from the work by the temptation of lucrative situations and attractive prospects.
The Sabbath of the fourth commandment is sacredly kept by them, because God has placed His sanctity upon it, and has bidden them to keep it holy.
They will preserve their integrity at any cost to themselves. . . . These are the ones who will correctly represent our faith, whose words will be fitly spoken, like apples of gold in pictures of
. .Sisters, God calls you to work in the harvest field and help gather in the sheaves.--Review and Herald, Dec. 19, 1878. {Ev 477.2}
Tact, Perception, Ability.--Christian women are called for. There is a wide field in which they may do good service for the Master.
There are noble women who have had moral courage to decide in favor of the truth from the weight of evidence. They have tact, perception, and good ability, and could make successful Christian workers.--Ibid. {WM 150.1}
The Martha and Mary Attributes Blended.--All who work for God should have the Martha and the Mary attributes blended--a willingness to minister and a sincere love of the truth. Self and selfishness must be put out of sight.--Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 118. {WM 150.2}
Gentlewomen Needed.--Women are needed who are not self-important, but gentle in manners and lowly of heart, who will work with the meekness of Christ wherever they can find anything to do for the salvation of souls.
All who have been made partakers of the heavenly benefits should be earnest and anxious that others who do not have the privileges which they have enjoyed, should have the evidences of the truth presented before them.
And they will not merely desire that others should have this benefit, but will see that
they do have it, and will do their part toward the accomplishment of this object. {WM 150.3}
Those who become colaborers with God will increase in moral and spiritual power, while those who devote their time and energies to serving themselves will dwarf, and wither, and die.--Signs of the Times, Sept. 16, 1886. {WM 151.1}
Improvement of Talents.--Our sisters . . . are not deficient in ability, and if they would put to a right use the talents they already have, their efficiency would be greatly increased.--Testimonies, vol. 4, pp. 629, 630. {WM 151.2}

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God!
Shame holds of deep distress
Abased Heart
The Struggle to grasp un- conditional Love
Beyond the burning flames of promise
The Old nature shall pass Beneath us
Not before!
Time... Sorrow and chastening!
Over coming... the path where Life had leads us
Children Smitten... and left broken in half
Helplessness- overwhelms
Everything is good... every season ordained
Fresh garments... Clothed with faith and Hope,
Trust in the Lord with all -the heart..Mighty is His Love
Repair, reconstruction
Rebuilding the temple..for wisdom dwells with a pure vessels
Time to….
Dress for the Job you want!
Not for the one you got!
Humility will always remember ....Who Tailored his suit
Love has no remembrance of that which was..Neither Shall "I"
Love is satisfied, convinced; Joy never can turn back towards insanity
Charity desires to rise and rein, over every imagination, and strong Hold
Destroying the adversary to Gods grace and Love, that all men should happily be counted worthy of The Kingdom come.

I missed this, Silver and I'm sorry.
I came back to the Lord, not out of fear but out of want and out of love.
Fear is not the right reason to come to the Lord of Lords. Love is.
Fear is the reason why many have left. Fear is the reason some were unable to hold on. Love is infiinitely more important and potent than fear.
