First of all, I encourage that supplications (to ask humbly and earnestly of), prayers, intercessions (prayer on behalf of another), and giving of thanks be made for all men, kings, and all in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

          Here’s a good question. How often do we pray for the officials from our country, state, city, village, etc?

          Paul writes ... In the same way, women should clothe themselves in decent apparel, with shamefacedness (showing modesty, bashful) and sobriety (restrained), not with broided (embellished or elaborate) hair or gold or pearls, or costly array, but with good works, which is proper for women claiming godliness.

          Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to have authority over the man, Genesis 3:16 but to be in silence. For Adam was first created, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression (wrong). Nevertheless, she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in Faith and Love and holiness with sobriety (control).

          I want to take this time to reveal the TRUTH that God said in the last days God would pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Acts 2:17 So obviously when God's Spirit (Holy Spirit) is speaking THROUGH a woman, Paul's words do not apply as it is NOT the woman speaking and teaching, but rather ... GOD

           I couldn’t help but notice in my sojourning over the years that most women of today strive for the exact opposite of what Paul says is good and acceptable in the eyes of the Lord.

          Let’s take what Paul wrote a lil at a time, and see how the modern day woman matches up shall we? Women should wear modest clothing, with shamefacedness and sobriety. Let’s be honest, what percentage of the women that you know, wear MODEST clothing?  Now, moving on to the next few things, "women should wear their hair plain, and they shouldn’t wear gold, pearls, or costly array" ... Uh oh, the percentage just went down substantially, did it not?

         What is that old cliche' that is drilled in every lil girl's head? ... "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" ... Maybe they need to trade up friends and seek one a lil less temporal. Okay, let’s look at the last part, women should live in a godly manner, learn quietly and never teach or try and rule or have power over the man, but be in silence.  Oh my ... We have a problem Houston.

           How many godly women do you know that adhere to these qualities being God's idea of a righteous woman? Where did the idea come from that women are supposed to be the opposite of what God intended? We have all heard all the cute lil cliches over the years leading up to the path that we are on ... "You've come a long way baby" ... "I am woman hear me roar" ... Etc. Just cuz the world is following this new trend where the woman seeks independence and to "wear the pants" don't you believe it. Inside EVERY woman is the God given natural desire to be loved and nurtured. She wants to have the chair pulled out for her as they sit down for a meal. She wants to have doors opened for her. She wants to be treated ... Like a LADY.

         In TRUTH ... Women are seeking a man that will conform to the instinctive mental and spiritual image that each woman has of a man. That is yet another reason there is so much adultery and divorce. A woman marries a man she can control to be in harmony with the worldly assessment of the modern day women and yet secretly ... Seeks that which is natural.

          Now seriously, we’ve all seen horrific crimes being committed against women on the rise more and more in recent years. Why do you think that is? Could it be because women in general do not follow the guidelines that God has set for them? What if they did? Would the crime rate against women go down? Absolutely !!! Now this by no means excuses the evil beasts that harm women, but it does reveal the TRUTH that if women followed God's guidelines, they would not find themselves in bars late at night which is where the evil beasts are or running around half dressed which is what the evil beats seek. And if this woman has on her shiny diamond necklace or ring ... That is just an added attraction to these evil beasts.

          If you’re a woman, and know not TRUTH, you’re probably sitting there with a lifted eyebrow, shaking that head of yours with pride just boiling in your blood, but stick with me here for just a minute and try and see this from a different point of view. THEN throw your tantrum IF you still feel the need.

          Men and women inherited their roles from the judgment that God placed on Adam and Eve waaaaaaay back in Genesis 3:16-19. Paul points this out, saying, Look, the very first time woman had the opportunity, she did the wrong thing. So, God said, Woman is under man’s authority. Every woman since then, like it or not, inherited this. (I’m sure snakes, the world over, are complaining too, about running around on their belly. Genesis 3:14 

           Let's check the spiritual fruits on this shall we? If a woman and her husband are watching television and the front door is kicked in and there stands two thugs, can you FATHOM the woman looking over at her husband and saying .... Finish your show hun, I will take care of this. The answer is NO. It is NATURAL for the man to be the man and for the woman to be .... The woman.

          If you want to live the life of a Christian woman, acceptable in the sight of God, ask yourself, how can I do that if I don’t obey Him. The answer is . . . You can’t. What are you afraid of losing? Power? Well, God says that power doesn’t belong to a woman to begin with. How can one lose something they don’t have? If you spend your life trying to change God’s plan, where will it get you? Won’t you be much closer to God if you follow the path that He laid out?
