A WOMAN ASKED JOHN G LAKE TO PRAY FOR HER. After hearing about her many ailments he replied, “Dear Sister, anybody can see that Christ dwells in your spirit... Let your mind extend just a little bit. Let your thoughts comprehend that just as Jesus dwells in your spirit and also possesses your soul, in just exactly the same way He is possessing your blood and your kidneys and your old rheumatic bones, and that the very same thing will happen in your bones when you realize that truth as happened in your spirit when you were converted.”
She said, “Brother, lay your hands on me and pray for me, and I will be healed.” I answered, “No, I want you to get well by realizing that right now that same Christ that dwells in your spirit and your soul is in your bones and in your blood and in your brain.” Presently the lady hopped to her feet and said, “My God, He is.” She had it. Christ had been imprisoned in her soul and spirit, now He was permitted to manifest in her body."
Did you know that you too don't actually need someone else to pray for your healing, but that Jesus has done it all? If you have submitted your life to Jesus, then the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is within you, so just like this woman, hop to your feet and receive His life and His healing in your mind, your emotions and your body!

Female Pastors:
The topic of female pastors and their role in ministry is a significant and often debated issue within many Christian denominations. Here are some key arguments that justify and validate the inclusion of female pastors giving sermons and functioning as ministers equal to men:
Biblical Interpretation and Theological Arguments
1. Creation Equality:
• Genesis 1:27 emphasizes that both men and women are created in the image of God, implying equal worth and capability.
• Galatians 3:28 states, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This verse is often interpreted to mean that gender distinctions should not restrict roles in ministry.
2. Historical Precedents:
• In the New Testament, women played significant roles in the early church. Examples include Phoebe, who is referred to as a deacon (Romans 16:1-2), Priscilla, who, along with her husband Aquila, taught Apollos (Acts 18:26), and Junia, who is noted as outstanding among the apostles (Romans 16:7).
• Mary Magdalene is recognized as the first to witness and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus, effectively making her the first evangelist (John 20:18).
3. Spiritual Giftings:
• 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 describes the distribution of spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit to both men and women without distinction. Teaching, prophecy, and leadership gifts are given based on God's sovereignty, not gender.
• Joel 2:28-29, reiterated in Acts 2:17-18, speaks of God's Spirit being poured out on all people, sons and daughters prophesying, and both men and women receiving and exercising spiritual gifts.
Sociocultural and Historical Context
1. Cultural Context of Biblical Passages:
• Some restrictive passages (such as 1 Timothy 2:12 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35) are understood by many scholars to be addressing specific cultural issues in the early church rather than providing a universal prohibition against women in ministry.
• Understanding the historical and cultural context of these passages can lead to a more nuanced interpretation that supports women's leadership roles.
2. Role of Women in the Early Church:
• Historical records and early church writings indicate that women served in various ministerial roles. This historical precedent provides a basis for contemporary practice.
Practical and Ethical Considerations
1. Effectiveness in Ministry:
• Many denominations have observed that women are effective leaders, preachers, and pastors, contributing significantly to the growth and health of congregations.
• Female pastors often bring unique perspectives and approaches to ministry, enriching the spiritual life of the church community.
2. Justice and Equality:
• The principle of justice calls for equal opportunity and the dismantling of unjust barriers that prevent women from serving in their full capacity within the church.
• Promoting gender equality in ministry reflects broader societal values of fairness and nondiscrimination, aligning the church's practices with its teachings on justice and love.
Denominational Practices
1. Inclusive Denominations:
• Many mainline Protestant denominations, such as the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the Presbyterian Church (USA), ordain women and support their full participation in all aspects of ministry.
• These denominations provide models for how inclusive practices can be implemented and maintained, demonstrating the positive impact of women in leadership roles.
Counterarguments and Responses
1. Traditionalist View:
• Traditionalist perspectives often cite specific biblical passages to argue against female pastors. However, proponents of women's ordination argue that these passages must be interpreted in their historical context and balanced against the broader scriptural witness to equality and mutual service.
2. Complementarianism:
• Complementarians believe in distinct roles for men and women based on biblical teachings. In response, egalitarians argue that leadership and teaching should be based on gifting and calling rather than gender.
In conclusion, biblical interpretation, historical precedent, recognition of spiritual giftings, and principles of justice and equality support the justification for female pastors giving sermons and functioning as ministers equal to men. These arguments collectively provide a robust foundation for the inclusion of women in all areas of ministry. God bless the woman! Posted by Frank Grasso 👍 🙏💜🙏

May 2nd - Ephesians 5:2
"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma."

Our supreme example of love is Christ Himself who put aside what He deserved in order to give us what we could never earn.
