Dear Christmas Sisters,
I am up in the night praying on this cold winter's night. I cry out to the Lord, "Where are You, Jesus? I just long to sit with you. I don't exactly need anything, Lord. I just need Your companionship, Your presence, Your touch. I don't want to be with anyone except for You, Jesus." I think of the Christmas carol "Oh come let us Adore Him." Oh, I adore You, precious Lord Jesus.
Oh, I sense the Christmas Angels. I wonder if they are the same ones who told messages to the shepherds. Isn't it glorious how the Angels went to the lowly shepherds in the cold night and told them the good news that Jesus was born. Just poor shepherds who were faithful to tend the sheep. The King had to hear the news off hand. But God shared His good news with the poor and faithful. Oh, the modern church calls families to give until it hurts to hungry preachers. The shepherds tending their sheep would have been looked down on by the modern church. They were poor, so of course they don't matter. But the Lord God knew where the shepherds were and sent His angels with the good news. The Lord wanted their fellowship. He wanted their presence.
The Father searches and longs for the meek and quiet spirit to fellowship with. Jesus, as He became a man, was meek and humble before God and His commandments. Yet He was a wild eyed revolutionist concerning the world and the Pharisees that He called snakes and vipers. He was an enemy to Satan and a tender lamb toward God. The Lord God seeks the woman with the meek and quiet spirit. He marries and becomes one with the woman who has the meek and quiet Spirit.
Oh, the world and the feminist Christian call the wife and mother out of her home to do this and carry on with that. They shout to Mother at home, "Get out there and make something of yourself. Put the kids in a Daycare -- that wont hurt 'em. Lots of kids are in Daycare." But this is not the call of God. This is not God's voice that calls wife and mother to the streets. God calls us mothers home -- at least Home. And when at Home, He calls her to her prayer chambers. He calls her to forsake the world and the teachings of the Christian Feminist.
Lately, we have had a foot of snow. And, oh, the male cardinal is so stunning with his colors of crimson red and black against the white sparkling snow. He is the glory of God! When we look at him, we glorify God who made him. God doesn't want to hide him away in a nest. He wants to show Mr. Cardinal off in all of his glory. Pretty soon, we see Mother Cardinal. She is more dull in color. She is made like that to blend in with her nest. She is not called out ... she is made like her family nest. She is the color of the branches and can hide away without being seen. She can see the world but the world can't see her.
And we must be like her and hide away unto the Lord. Most male birds are more brightly colored than the female birds. We wives are not called out to the world to have bright outfits and to be heard in the marketplace. Our places are at home. And, in our place at home, we are queens in our palace.
Oh, 1 Peter 3 is so precious. Look at verse 5. It says, "For after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands." The verse before this speaks of the adorning of the inner man which is the meek and quiet spirit. The Bible calls us women to put on a holy adorning or dress. It is not the fancy holiday earrings and fashion boots. It is a calling to clothe the inner man with meekness. The Holy women's adorning or dress of the spirit was their submission to their husbands. As we women forsake the world and the call to the world, as we decide in meekness that our husbands are the head of us, then we become beautiful to God. We cry out to Him and He hears us. We become as a sweet smelling holy fragrance to Him.
Stress
And I realize some of you are having so much trouble with stress. You want the meek and quiet spirit but you can't get it. We live in the world and it is hard sometimes. Just take whatever medicine you need to take. Or change your diet or whatever. But your answer also is in the inner court of your temple.
I mean, God didn't put the scriptures in the Bible for nothing. He says that the adorning of submission to your husband is the meek and QUIET spirit. It is a holy covering of the inner woman or inner man. And the more children you have, I think, the deeper you must go with the covering of submission. As holy women of God you will not get your prayers answered without the adorning of the meek and quiet spirit.
Now, I am talking about the truth, not the so called truth of the modern church. Oh, yeah, ya see this Christian feminist and she is talkin' about miracles and the whole 9 yards and she gets her prayers answered, supposedly. But, ya know, there are all kinds of cults out there that are coming up with miracles. Satan can perform miracles, too. But there is only one way to enter the sheep gate. There are many wicked shepherds promising all kinds of ways to heaven. Don't enter the wicked gate. Enter the gate that has a shepherd that follows the truth of the word of God.
And, good night! I don't pretend to have the whole truth on anything. But I can read. And some things in the Bible are clear enough for any moron to figure out. Christian feminism is not represented in the Word of God. The only women who led Christian men was Jezebel. Then you have Deborah and she wasn't a feminist, by any means. Christian feminism is a product of our age. A man made religion. And how Benny Hinn can sit and look at Grandma Barbie doll Jan on TBN and keep a straight face is a wonder to me. I would bust out laughin'. I couldn't help it! I mean, this Jan on there is a piece of work. She had to have a face lift and bigger boobs to win folks to Christ.
Christian feminism is floating on its own, for now. But, as the days get darker and the times get harder for the believers, these lies won't work anymore. If you don't have the truth, you will die spiritually.
See, the Christian woman is being pulled in every direction. The only stability she will ever have is the wisdom of God. And submission to husband isn't the only truth here. Submission to husband also means submission to being a keeper at home. Godly submission to a husband means also to submit to the care of his home and to the care of his children and grandchildren. The home is your husband's and you are the keeper of the home. He is the spiritual head of the home.
We as women have so much stress as we try to take on the world or a load that is too heavy for us. Then we can't carry the burden and we become fearful and anxious and upset. Jesus says, "Come unto Me and help carry my burden for it is light and easy." The Lord knows that we mothers and wives are the weaker vessels. We are not called to do what men do. And another part of the Word says, "Lead them gently that are with young." Mothers with little ones have a heavy burden enough without doing anything else but to take care of the baby. If you care for the children and keep your house up for your husband, then that is a lot.
Husband has to be first, no matter what. Don't try to make him a nurse maid or Mama's little helper. Sure, he helps you with the children. But that is really not his job. He has work enough and burden enough to go out each day and to support his family. When he comes home to rest, then let him rest. Don't put pressure on him to care for the children. If he does care for them, consider that a blessing but not his job. Jim helped me a lot after he got saved when the last three were young. I always appreciated that. But I never felt it was his duty as a provider and priest of the home.
The Holy Wife
The wife the Lord calls unto Himself is not the lady preacher who is in the pulpit calling men to submit to her and her instructions. The holy wife who pleases the Lord is the hidden wife and mother. She is called out from among them to be separated unto the Lord. She isn't always close with the girls or the church ladies. But her husband thinks she is one in a million. Her children call her blessed. She is the secret garden to her husband. And she is to him a sweet smelling sacrifice.
She gives up her life that she can gain it in heaven with Jesus some day. Her Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ. She has counted the cost and not looked back to Sodom and Gomorrah. She has forsaken the world in order to please the Lord and attain eternal life. Unless we die daily and take up the cross of Jesus, we cannot enter His kingdom. And now, after we lay our lives down for Him, He may choose to use us, at times, in the world.
Ya know, I know I have told you this story before, but I will tell it again. After Jim was saved, oh, I wanted to shout it to the roof tops. But, ya know, the Lord didn't give me the freedom in my spirit to tell the testimony. I maybe gave the testimony a couple times in a year. And then Satan would attack me like you wouldn't believe. But I didn't give this testimony for about 18 years? The Lord had me homeschooling and that was my ministry for 15 years. After Jim got saved, I would sit in my rocking chair and rock the baby. I would cry out in prayer and ask the Lord, "Lord, are You sure this is all I am to do, is to care for the babies here?" And the Lord told me that if I was obedient to Him, my message would go out like a holy fire all over my town. Good grief, if He had told me that my message would go all over my state, I would have died of fright. But to think it goes all over my world on the internet is mind boggling to me.
I was always the poorest woman I knew. If I didn't want something, I couldn't give it away, as no one wanted it. We had been on welfare, and when we went off by faith, then we had a lot less then those who were in poverty. People on welfare felt sorry for us and gave to us. The poorest of people gave us food and clothes. But I tried to be faithful to the Lord. To be honest and dutiful in the hard places. And God was watching me and leading me into His truth.
I came up the hard way. Line upon line and the word of God was my food and drink. I laid my foundation of a home for Jesus, brick upon brick of the truth in His word. See, had I not come up the hard way, I would fizzle out now. It is not easy to do what I do now. But I have learned to be strong in the hard times. And so my teachings are not built on the world or the church and its feministic teachings.
See, what I teach you is just old stuff to me, for the most part. If you were to read my old writings, you would recognize them by what I write on here. It's been the same message for many years. The teachings I write is what I have been living on for many years. What I eat, I feed to you all. And I have been married for almost 40 years. What I teach here? It works? Had I not proved this in my own life, I wouldn't be here now. All the glory goes to Jesus. It was all His doin'. He enjoys making a silk purse out a a pig's ear. He chooses the foolishness of this world to confound the wise.
But, see, some of these fly by night preachers that come up with money as the answer to all things ain't gonna last any longer than their luck. Or any longer than they can hoodwink folks into givin' them $$. God ain't making these preachers rich -- it is people who are ignorant and have a love for $$ that are makin' them rich. And, in the end, the preacher will go under like Jim and Tammy did. And their followers will lose their money, too. Right after Jim Baker went to prison for being a first class thief, then Tammy, bless her heart, hung on for about a month and divorced Jim.
Christian Feminism
See, the lady preachers are like stars in the sky. But they aren't backed up or made from the truth of God's word. They are bright and many follow them. Yet their followers are like they are. They are half baked Christians that want an easy way out. They won't pay the price or give their lives for Jesus. They are women who won't lay brick on brick to make a temple in the wilderness for Christ.
Joyce M. is deceived and she deceives many Christian women. Joyce's ministry is not built on the truth of the word of God. She is a flaming star that will blaze up and receive the applause of man. The more they applaud her, the brighter she gets. As apposed to the true woman of God who lets the Lord put His hand on her, and her beauty is her meekness and her submission to her husband. The world loves all that glitters and shines. And yet the true woman of God isn't led by the world or the things in the world. The true woman of God isn't moved by the money she is given, or the glory.
Preacher says, "Well, I can't preach the gospel because I don't have the $$$." But the true shepherd is gonna preach the word with or without $$$. God is looking for the shepherds who will feed the sheep and not stand there waiting to be paid. Preacher tells you that if you give to him you will get more $$$. Well, why don't he give so the Lord will give him more $$$? If it's true for the sheep, it has to be true for the shepherd.
The true believer is not moved by $$$. They are moved by the word of God. They are moved after a night in prayer and weeping unto God and then He comes to them and tells them great and mighty things. And He is their supplier and He is their provider and He is their Savior. And as this man on fire gets up off his knees, he goes out to the flock of God, he gives them Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He doesn't give them the bread of this world. He gives them the true bread and blood and body of Christ.
Mother comes out of prayer with the breath of God upon her mouth and she kisses the family with the power of Christ. The truth she has learned in silence as the Lord told her to learn it. She didn't take a dive. She wouldn't go with the girls at church, even though she was lonely and afraid, concerning her own family's future. She stayed behind, even though she had not heard the Lord's voice in days. And she has remained lonely for His voice. But the voice of the world is nothing but more pain to her. If she can't hear His voice, she cannot live. For He is her life, her breath, her anointing, her work.
She has taken herself out of the world. The world no longer satisfies her as it did when she was a girl, or a baby Christian. Now only "He" can satisfy her soul. If God wants to put fancy earrings on her, then she will wear them for Him. But she doesn't have to have fancy clothes or jewelry to serve Him. She must serve Him as He is her life and she has no place else to go but to Him. Her heart pants after her Lord God as a deer pants after water. Folks warn her of coming danger but she must go with Jesus, anyway, as the Master has called her and she has no place else to go. She has learned through much suffering that, yes, He is the way, the truth, and the life. And no man comes to the Father except through Him.
Get the truth, dear Wives and Mothers, and hold the truth to your heart. And build a house of wisdom with it. And your voices of righteousness will call to eternity. You will be made of line upon line of His truth. Not just stars who shine for the applause and glory and the gold of this world.
Shine, dear daughters, shine on for Jesus for always and forever. Come out from among them and be called the daughters of truth and light. Daughters of a New Revolution. Women who can't be bought or taken in by the gold and glory of this world.
