I believe in women preachers and in Sister Alvear!

Sister Alvear · #**1484** 02-11-2011, 04:59 PM

Thanks my friend...I know we don't want to make this personal but sure love you and Marie.

Sister Alvear · #**1485** 02-11-2011, 05:00 PM

we all know or I think we do that spiritual gifts are for the church and to be used in the church...

The Bible declares that women will prophesy: 1 Cor. 11:5, "For every woman that prayeth or prophesieth...."

Well....I get in too much trouble if I say too much on here but here goes... God used women in Bible days and we all know that. He has always used women that were willing vessels and He still uses women today and He always will!
I have heard some great women preachers, prophetesses and handmaidens that could get more done in one service than most men in months of spit slinging. I think it is a SHAME and a DISGRACE the way some men have talked about women ministers like they have.
Considering the reputation of the one that started this thread - it should have never even been allowed to continue! I give not an ounce of credibility to anyone like that.
My Great Grandmother was a Holy Ghost Filled Prophetess that prophesied my life and ministry in the Delta of Mississippi in 1955 and every word she prophesied has come to pass.
God bless you Sister Alvear and all Ministers of the Gospel - both Men and Women! Keep Preaching, Praying and Prophesying the Word of the Lord. Don't let anybody keep you from your calling!
My pastor told me 40 years ago - They are gonna talk about you if you do and they are gonna talk about you if you don't so - You do what GOD called you to do and don't worry about what PEOPLE talk about!
