LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENT

One of the keys that the revelation about Husband/Wife being a prophetic picture of Spirit/Soul is in what the Apostle Paul wrote here.

1 Corinthians 14:34

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

When the Lord gave me the vision about the 3 persons coming together to Worship God, that we are to come before God "IN THE SPIRIT",  that is, thru our position of who we are "IN CHRIST". Both Men and Women have a spirit, a soul and a body. Regardless if we are a man or a woman, we are to minister from OUR SPIRIT, which is of Christ.

The opposite is true, do not minister from our SOULISH UNDERSTANDING (Woman).

Men or women who minister or preach from the "Soul" (worldly understanding) instead of "In the spirit", then it is the "WIFE OR WOMAN" who is SPEAKING.

When we minister "In the spirit" it is our husband JESUS speaking thru us. Again, this rule applies to men AND WOMEN IN THE CHURCH.

With this insight I read new meaning in Ephesians 5:22-28

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.

[24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. [25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [28] So ought men to love their wives AS THEIR OWN BODIES. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

The revelation that our spirit and soul is a prophetic picture of husband and wife dramatically changed many scriptures for me. Ephesians 5:29-32

[29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: [30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. [31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

[32] This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. [33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

This teaching of Paul ties directly to the accounts of Creation. Genesis 2:23-24

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Some things to consider also: God's Word may seem bias towards men and women in the natural. But remember that the Kingdom of Heaven is unique , to say least! Remember we will be as the Angels, neither male nor female.

When we WORSHIP God, we GIVE praise and thanksgiving.

IT IS THE NATURE OF MAN (MALE) TO GIVE.

IT IS THE NATURE OF A WOMAN TO RECEIVE.

When we RECEIVE anything from God, or men, it is our SOUL that increases.

When we GIVE, it is the SPIRIT part of us that is manifested.

In God's eyes, whether we are born as a man, or woman, if we are born-again, we are ALL SONS OF GOD. EQUAL IN EVERY WAY. It is amazing to consider that the same revelation of the story of Adam and Eve, is the story of the first MAN AND WOMAN, it is also the story of who each of us is as a PERSON, and it is the story of the JEWS AND GENTILES, THE CHURCH.
