Women leading men

I had a very nice young woman tell me recently that I am willfully sinning against the Lord because I am a preacher. She said that God will not call a woman to preach. She always used the same Scripture in Corinthians to tell me this.

I want to say right off at the beginning that God is no respecter of persons and that He can and DOES call whomever He wants to call into the ministry. It matters not a particular denominations view on the subject, because when He calls you, you will answer one way or the other.

Throughout the history of time, women have been leaders over men numerous times. Deborah, Esther, Lydia, the 4 daughters of Philip, Mary and as recent as Queen Elizabeth II, Goldie Meir of Israel  Margaret Thatcher of England and many, many more.

Why is it that women will try to tear down other women whom God has called into the ministry? Simply, it's how they were taught. Or another reason is their husbands are telling them what to think and believe.

I am all for the husband being the head of the wife. My husband is my leader. He is the one whom I submit to. He is the one whom the Lord has reveled to that confirmed what the Lord was calling me to do. I didn't tell him what the Lord was calling me to, he brought it up one night. I had asked the Lord to have my husband bring up the subject  to me. When he did, I knew that was confirmation of what He was calling me to.

If I was willfully sinning against God, He never would have placed this upon my life. Just because someone don't like the idea, doesn't mean that I should stop preaching the Good News. I will preach the Gospel until the day I take my last breath.
