But look at Nona Freeman and Vesta mangun and Bobbye Wendell.

They are in the states, and are well thought of.

Yes, and they don't scream, holler, pound pulpits, shake fists or stomp either far as I know. Certainly Sis. Freeman and Bobbye Wendell don't.

Wow! OK. I was just wondering, now that you are free of the restrictions you felt were imposed on your ability to minister, how are you more effective?

Then HOW could you tell if they were anointed?

LOL! I can tell!

One of the most impacting soul and heart stirring impacting messages I have ever heard and that will forever stand out in my memory was when Bobbye Wendell spoke at Gen Conference the last time we attended. I thought I was gonna bust and come totally unglued. I'll never forget. You're not impacted in that way that many times over a period of years. I remember one other time when I was affected a similar way and that was at a Deeper Life meeting back in N.B. Bro. Pugh was speaking. I had to get up and go downstairs where I could be alone to be able to release what I was feeling. It was so huge.

Another time was at another deeper life conference in N.B. ..... Bro. Kershaw was preaching. What a powerful meeting that was!

Another ..... World Conference in the Philippines ....... totally awesome service ..... completely unforgettable. Again, such a powerful mighty move of the anointing and Shekinah presence of God.

I believe they are the exception more than the rule.

This is why they are rare today. Not non-existent, but uncommon.

Whether you are a man or a woman, if you have got the goods, your gift is going to make room for you.

That's why you see ladies like our own Sister Alvear who doesn't need anybody defending her ministry--it speaks for itself.

If you are sitting back crying about how powerful you would be if only you got the breaks others got, you probably don't have what it takes. That goes for men and women.

excellent post!!

Bobby Wendell what a woman...I just listened to one of her sermons and gave it to my daughter to listen to while I am here in the states...I wept...and wept...and wept...The title was "in a moment of time"...

And precious Sister Freeman... a living legend among us...

Even though Brazil is a different world there are many that are against women...but in our work we seldom have brushed sholders with these guys...BUT our women are trained to respect men and I HAVE never seen one lady mouth off about men...

I personally am no threat to men for those that know me most know I HATE to get up before a crowd and especially in the states...Sometimes duty requires to do certain things...but I tremble to get up before a crowd.

[Sister Alvear]

I do remember one time Brother Alvear sat a woman down because she was trying to take over...but I have seen him sit men down too on occasion...

We believe in order and I would never think of doing something without first talking to my husband...after all he is my head...and Christ is his head...
