Thank you for your encouragement, Minister D! Women do indeed have a role to play in kingdom work, and I pray that we will stand together in unity to fulfill our calling in such a time as this.

Women are being called into the ministry, -- The ministry of women can be fround in Bible times and still moves on today, Examples of such a statement can be found in the book of Acts 2:17-18 and the book of Joel 2:28-29 tell us: "In the last days God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, menservants and maidservants shall prophesy." According to some Bible theologians the word "prophesy" means to preach the word of God, and to other theologians it's to proclaim a message directly from God. Whenever one gave a prophesy, it was always a message to a group of people or an individual. In Luke 2:36-38, Anna was 84 years old when she gave her historic prophecy regarding Jesus to everyone that was in the temple. The name Anna means "Favor" or "Grace." God revealed the Messiah, the Hope of the world, to this elderly lady and she spoke it to all that were near. In Acts 21:9, Philip the Evangelist had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. Romans 16:1 tells us of Phoebe. Her name means "Pure" or "Radiant as the moon." Paul addressed her as a servant and helper of the church. In some Bible translations she is called a deaconess and other translations consider her to be a minister. According to many Bible scholars, Phoebe was the one who carried the written book of Romans to the congregation, probably from Corinth to Rome. This would declare a place for women in the sharing of the word of God to the world. Judges 4:4-5, Deborah was a Spirit-filled, multitalented woman, many more examples, but due to space, I shall decline to add more, God is doing a work, and women are apart of this END Time Work. D
