Mat 28:19 “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations,
immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-
apart Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you. And
see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn.
We notice first that his only qualification is that they are taught
the truth of the Messiah. He places no bias on gender.
What else does the bible teach?
Mic 6:4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you
from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and
Miriam.
Miriam was the sister of Moses and we see that she was called Elohim
personally. Did Elohim call other women to his service?
Jdg 4:4 Now Deborah, a PROPHETESS, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging
Israel at that time.
Jdg 4:5 She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and
Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came
up to her for judgment.
Jdg 4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which
the YHWH has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the YHWH go out
before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men
following him.
So here we see a prophet and judge that was a lady that the people,
not just women came up to her for judgment. We also see that she
boldly went and gave orders to Barak a man!
Jdg 5:7 The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I
arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel.
The fact is that men don’t want to believe Israel had a woman so well
respected and in power, it goes against everything that the modern
churches are teaching. It is the work of Elohim that women are in the
service of the church. What does it say in the New testament?
Luk 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of
Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Luk 2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
departed not from the temple, but served YHWH with fastings and
prayers night and day.
Luk 2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto
YHWH, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem.
Anna was the prophetess that was at the temple when they brought
Yehoshua for circumcision. She did not leave the temple and was there
day and night, in other words, she lived at the temple and she
preached to ALL of the people.
Mat 8:14 And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-
law lying sick with a fever.
Mat 8:15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose
and began to serve him.
I don’t believe that means she served dinner.. That means she was a
servant of the Messiah and her son Peter, was the chief of the
Apostles and I bet Jesus healing his mother had a part to play in his
love for Yehoshua.
Act 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall
pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men
shall dream dreams,
Who can deny that Prophesy is ministry? That “our daughters” are to
prophesy should encourage every true believer of the scriptures to
recognize that woman should preach!
Historically women have been given a back burner in the community and
what we actually know of the Torah is that the entire tribe of the
Levites, men, women and children were called into the service of
Yahweh. They held leadership positions and were a major part of
services.
Act 10:34 Then Kepha opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
that YHWH is no respecter of persons:
Psalm 68 is the song of Debra from Judges 4 and 5:
Psa 68:10 Your flock dwelt in it; You provided from Your goodness for
the poor, O Elohim.
Psa 68:11 Yahweh gave the word; The women who proclaimed it was a
great company:
Psa 68:12 “Sovereigns of armies flee in haste! And she who remains at
home divides the spoil.”
Psa 68:13 If you lie down among the sheepfolds, The wings of a dove
are covered with silver, And her feathers with yellow gold.
Psa 68:14 When the Almighty scattered sovereigns in it, It did snow in
Tsalmon.
You will notice that my commentary is noticeably short any teaching
contrary to the words of the Messiah and the Torah should be
disregarded. No, I do not know of any female preachers that I would
endorse but this is only to illustrate the issue that a woman should
be allowed to teach and preach.
Shalom,

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation,
nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other
