Women & The Gospel, Part 3

Spent the new listeners welcome to the sound of pain and Sharon not thanking you for joining off today because we know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Our message today gospel game changer for women chronicles the revolutionary changes Jesus made his ministry to dealings with women not only recognize their unique devotion elevated them to equality with men in gospel game changer for women, see the Pharisee something I like you say going lower and then she proceeded to give him a very simple parable.

He said there was instance where there were two debtors. They were both in get the same creditor but one of the creditor 500 pence, and one only owed the creditor £0.50. But the fact is neither one could pay the bill so he said neither one could pay the debt so the forget them though stamped on the paid in full off the whole now you think would have loved him most, and the Pharisee answered and said what. I suppose the one he confirmed the most.

And Jesus said you have judged slightly when I came into your house. You did not kiss me how many know that it's the custom in the Middle East they kiss on both cheeks. It's just that custom.

You just do that.

It is like our handshake is there kiss on the cheek when you're me and you did not wash my feet was most all the hospitality that you would do for a visitor in your sidewalks and asphalt road the street and they wore sandals would be with you when you came in and was raised would wash the feet of the visitor.

This was courtesy wash my feet and you didn't anoint my head but the woman being here she would know that she not you agree, but her coming in doing that was because her heart was under conviction and she was coming with the motivation of repentance and Jesus saw it as such any said woman go thy way. Amen.

Because she does forget much love much okay now let's go to the other anointing. This is the one you're familiar with, but they get mixed up the other one. The one we just did to place up here in the North Galilee. Now the place down here, which is like a suburb of Jerusalem. Okay, so now this 1 Takes Pl. in Bethany takes place at the all signing the letter now know what you're thinking.

I think the same thing.

Okay, let alone a leper colonies. They can't be around people. So why would he be going to a leper's house. I can only think of one good reason.

He oddly healed something else and it's really just a side thing later, but Simon the leper was the father of Judas Iscariot.

I get the Scripture to find out for yourself. So we go to Simon the leper's house in Bethany and there were a lot of people there. The Bible says it was a lot of people and among those that were there. We just been raised from the dead is sisters Mary and Martha so you know this was probably the store that day because the Bible many people came first because they heard he was raised from the dead, so this was a part D ration rating probably has risk been raised from the dead, so all operating here, Mary Lazarus, sister Martha's sister. Now we have the name of the woman, Mary came and she was not. This is Mary, to whom Jesus had name time comes that her house market Lazarus have many, many times spent many times with that and now her extravagant gratitude because Jesus had given back her brother. She came with her alabaster box and she broke it open and she wet tears of joy Jesus feet with her hair until the ointment from the master box and anointed his mom was doing.

This was their because it was his father and he said this appointment is work 300 and that years wage eight years wage she was saving up for something special. I would go out on a limb and presume Nadine for her wedding and she was needed for probably many years we are using the conversations completely completely from the first in the Bible, but it's a little side note in there and said this because he held the back. That means he was the treasurer Jesus and the 12 disciples and he was a 300 pence for that and that means I could in the back that I could so we can solicit we could spend the money on the poor and what did Jesus say remember completely different situation. He said against the day of my burying has she. Another words Mary did not realize all the years that she was saving up that alabaster box appointment.

She had no idea what she was really saving for for the day of Jesus burial that she was saving that all the time that she could anoint Jesus you will always have with you, but you shall not always have with you. So, we hear two different anointing one costs one a godly woman, but in both cases, Jesus allowed them to come to touch him, and to administer to him, and rebuke those who wanted to rebuke them because Jesus came to tear down all against women. While were talking about Mary of Bethany. The reason why say that she was a godly woman and by the way, I told like the Scriptures. The first anointing of Jesus by the sinful woman is in Luke 736 through 50. The second anointing by Mary of Bethany is in three Gospels Matthew 26 six through 13, Mark 14 one through nine in my favorite is John one through 12 and it's in John, you'll see that Judas Iscariot was Simon on okay now go to Luke the 10th chapter Mary of Bethany was a godly woman and we know that she had a real hunger and thirst to learn the things of God. She was a very spiritual young woman. Let's go to Luke 10 chapter 3 verse 38 will see now came to pass, as they went, and he entered into a certain village and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house and she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus feet, and heard his word.

But my thought was convert or Martha was very busy about much serving, and she came to him and said, Lord, thou not care that my sister had let me assert below therefore that she help me and Jesus answered and said under her Martha, Martha, thou art careful or thou art anxious or thou art upset and tribal but all one is Mary.

What is important and Mary have chosen that good part, which shall be taken away from her. I've always zoomed in on the fact that I think is the most obvious of the story that we see the dichotomy that Martha was more worried about cooking dinner serving the table making a beautiful wonderful dinner for Jesus. The place make out with an God created women to do when we love to do that because it just makes us feel that we can do that.

There has to be a balance and come in there and help you when an opportunity to learn the Scriptures, and especially not in the present. Mary Jesus feet. We can't just sit there in her problem away. No rabbi with which Jesus was not meeting traveling from town to town and city to city and stopping people and to teach one whenever he was in the area. Bethany would go is Mary Martha house and the custom was that the visiting rabbi would come, he would stay there.

And then there would be a time during his visit when he went either on a pillow or a very low still and all, what can while he talked the payment idiom meaning that you learned from the rabbi. Remember what Paul when he was given his credentials, he said. I sat at the feet of the mating yell.

Remember that he was my mentor was my teacher. I was personally taught by someone with the man to get happy about everything I told you that this book is not you are being way to get the Bible we can do anything. Women raise the slimy meat when I want to do that. It was Mary all all this is my opportunity. Jesus is not like the other rabbis. He's not like those guys to go to my synagogue got care.

She is let her sit there and hear the word of God to be preached.

He said Martha Mary has chosen the good part.

I wonder how many women here today. You've chosen the good part are you make sure that every piece of land is vacuumed off your carpet and make sure that everything is shining and you can see your face and you got the cleanest Berkeley but you don't have time to sit down and study the word before I hurt my back. The cleanest house in Baltimore County. I'm telling you I was a fanatic about everything shining. I mean… Oh my goodness, but when I hurt my back and I couldn't do those things in my house went from the cleanest. I mean, you talk about the present. But you know was nothing I could do about all I could do was lie in bed and since I thought it was like that figure. Well, I just never read the Bible over and over again now I read the Bible like but I never read it straight through from Genesis to Revelation. Never done that you read this the time to read through all things.

I never saw before I saw them in the context all things that help in pointing out other things you just because you you you not give you that excuse to be a balance due. If you don't crack that Bible open everything because it's a privilege that women never had to close with this message all week and you know I didn't really have an altogether, but Saturday night I should say Saturday morning that would be Friday night going into Saturday morning, so that's not last night.

The night before about 3 to 4 in the morning I had a dream and I went to take the dream because I feel that the Lord gave to me specifically to confirm this message in my dream I was in a room not this church building.

I don't recognize the surrounding it was a huge room and it was packed with women in the thing about it is you know how you had dreams and you always people around you, but you don't really see their faces so you don't really know who they are now the dream what these women and I only saw one woman now say that her second but I was in this room, the women were seated all around and I was standing I was teaching I knew I was teaching the women were very excited. I could feel I left for city in the air like they were sitting on the edge of their seats and they were just pulling it out of now here's the thing. I asked the women a question you throw it out. I want to give me an answer. I asked the women a question, but the start until after I had asked the question you dream you know something took place.

I knew women because it bring that point I knew the answers and was a two-part answer. I knew the answers to a question that I had asked that I didn't get to hear what it was no and so I throw this question out and I was waiting for someone to answer for that was just open you know I did not see her face, but I distinctly recognize her voice. I knew my sister Shirley and she was the first was in an and all the women were happy and they were clapping and everything is all right. Okay part of the answer. No volunteers. No one saying anything buzzing but think out loud. Nobody said anything and no one thing. And finally, after a little bit of the time. I said okay I tell you what I'm going to tell you the answer next time I'll see you later okay now while I'm teasing say no I'm going to sleep. We were going to meet again next time. Qualities in them. All of a sudden one person's face came into focus. Because remember, I will way back somewhere face came into focus and when I looked I saw clearly it was Stephanie Beasley and she was smiling her smile that we all know babies modeling, but I specifically noticed she was wearing. She was wearing a longsleeved man's white dress shirt and it wasn't a couple it was. Chris had no wrinkles. It was perfect. I remembered the car was just perfect like start perfect and she also was wearing a men's tie. But the thing about the time it was covered in beautiful purple and white flowers. But it was very feminine and then I woke up and I looked at the clock it was about 4 o'clock, and I thought that was so unusual and I'm thinking about this and I'm thinking what what step he was wearing and before I fell back asleep are heard in my spirit. Stephanie represents all women and it represents the fact that women have the same position in the same authority and they had the same because she represented with the men's attire, feminine, flowery thing going on there. She represents all women in the that women had the same position. The same authority as mayor of Bethany did at the feet of Jesus the Holy Ghost where the speaker may be and receive the word of God, those women were even. They were like I said they were so excited that I fell back to sleep and I slept until morning. Now I knew what the second part of that answer. What I knew what it was. I whipped up I was hoping I would know the question. I still don't know question. I don't think it matters. I really don't and you'll see why when I woke up I just can't thinking about that I couldn't get off my mind because okay the first part of the question was the second part of the answer was speaking with me, Lord, what does this mean it means something in my spirit I was prompted and I heard the Holy Spirit telling me okay the curse of being a second class inferior, subordinate women is broken in Christ is in the body of Christ is now just like there's no Jew and Gentile nose and owners and in Christ all can learn and teach God's word. What about this, and then I heard the Spirit say to me. We already read this on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place in one accord in prayer and supplication.

11 disciples Jesus brothers, specifically naming Mary his mother when they started out with five other people, so there were women there. There was no ration on women and they all speak in tongues at the same time why Jesus told in acts 18. Do you wait until wetness breeds duty all three which is probably because the bill because it was what required to go up to Jerusalem was running over the place with with people and these were people from other places for other languages and they all are in their own language. The wonderful in their own language anointed the men and the women and they were preaching the hospital and I want the women in this church did know it's time you not only her husband is unscriptural that God is giving you.

You word of God because God is going to hold it if you never knew or understood before know it now all the women.

Jesus took your picture you get in the body of Christ forever.

Christ is an action, God's anointing a vessel, whomever it may be, you have to respond to the anointing and not a man, because if you don't disobey God and you're only going to hurt yourself. And if there's been anything here that you just you just something in you would just feel like you know you need to get you need to get I'm not a eye-opening message gospel game changer for women. God created male and female in his image with equality and dominion in the earth when they said the rules of engagement changed and part of each judgment was subordination to her husband. God also revealed that her seat would crush the serpent's head at this Satan launched an attack against women as maltreatment of women escalated over the centuries but when the seed Messiah came, he changed the rules of engagement again. Jesus was the game changer who broke down barriers of race, gender and cultural classes. The gospel is the great emancipator elevating women to the same level as men.

This teaching walks you through the centuries since the Garden of Eden to the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit empowered God's sons and daughters for his divine service in the gospel.
