A Prophetic Word From Hilda

Prophetess hilda arredondo




"2012--A NEW YEAR"

Dear Ministry Friends, 2012 is a Brand New Year and we can expect new things. What are some of the new things? They are blessings to the righteous and judgment to the wicked will increase upon our land and the nations around the world. “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Isaiah 42:9 His word tells us that He will let us know of things to come. In Joel 1:1-14 it talks about the judgment to the nation of Israel. “The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.” The Lord God sent the Prophet Joel to declare to Israel that once upon a time they had been a flourishing and prosperous nation and now their land laid waste and in ruins. Their disobedience to God’s commandments and sinfulness was the cause of the disaster of the “CATERPILLAR STRIPPER.” Joel’s name means JEHOVAH IS LORD or THE LORD IS GOD. Prophets are called to declare what they see by the spirit and usually warn God’s people of upcoming judgments, calamities and woes! The prophets are God’s heart of mercy to His people announcing seasons of judgment so they have time to repent and turn away from their wicked ways or prepare for the COMING JUDGMENTS! Joel cried out to the old men and to all inhabitants of the land, Have you ever seen such things in your days, tell your children and your children’s children. What were they supposed to tell their children? That the locust destroyer had already come to their land and laid it waste because of their terrible sins. There are four (4) Different Stages of the locust mentioned in the above scripture. THE PALMERWORM, THE CANKERWORM, THE SWARMER AND THE CATERPILLAR. The First Stage is the PALMERWORM, also known as the CUTTER LOCUST AND GNAWER, it has no wings.  The Second Stage is the SWARMER LOCUST which is still part of the first stage and has its original skin. Next is the Cankerworm Stage or also known as the Hopper Locust or Devourer.  It cast off its first skin and develops little wings and leaps but does not fly.  Last comes the CATERPILLAR or STRIPPER LOCUST, the Consumer fully matured with long wings and legs. This process beginning with the egg to its fully matured stage takes about 60 days to complete and the eggs are laid in early summer. Joel cried out to the people of that day under the direction of the Holy Spirit in Joel 1:5-7 it reads, “Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.” They had become a nation of drunkards and because of them turning away from the life of holiness that the Lord God had taught them, they now forgot God and they were going their own way and losing all the blessings of the Lord as they went.

A NATION OF DRUNKARDS
A lot of people today do not want to go the Old Testament and read it. They say that all we need is the New Testament. But I want to share with you that the Old Testament is precious history to us today and we need to read that history to see how God deals with disobedient nations. Why do schools require history for their students? Others have the mistaken idea, that we are under the New Covenant in the New Testament only, therefore under grace and there is no judgment! Grace does not mean that we are to continue in sin, which will bring a consequence (chastisement) with it. In 1990 America moved into the “STAGES OF THE PALMERWORM” that Joel talks about in the above scripture. Just as God had prophets back in the time of Joel, He has them today and they declare to those who have ears to hear. The invasion of the locust upon America that I am referring to is not a natural locust invasion, but one that has to be discerned spiritually.  We moved into the first stages of the locust   almost twenty-two years ago. We are almost at the finish line of that judgment—time is running out!


HE WILL DELIVER OUR SONS

As Israel, America has become a nation of drunkards, dope and pill addicts. At this time how many mothers are crying out to God for their sons to be delivered? At one time I was one of those mothers, but God in His mercy delivered our son through much prayer of the saints and your precious sons can be delivered too, America.  Thank you Jesus for all the good, moral people that are still left in our country. But on the other hand we are surrounded by sin and liars, thieves wearing three piece suits in high offices and stealing money from the good American people.  
Several years ago, a good brother came to me and shared with me how he invested all his life savings, retirement monies into an investment company.  If I would tell you their name you would recognize them.  They often advertise on radio and television. For the first year He received some investment returns and he was so excited. You see many of them are con artists and know how to get your money and then make you believe that you did the right thing. Not too long after that He got a letter that the companies had bankrupted and gone out of business and it was out of their hands, there was nothing they could do--the poor brother was taken by the enemy—lost it all! 
We should be investing into the kingdom of God, where there will always be a promised return on your tithes, offerings and all other giving. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and changes not. (Malachi 3:6) He does not go out of business nor will He bankrupt.  Today many are expecting their seed returns from their giving from the government at the end of the year because they don’t want to pay tax.   It is better to pay tax and get your dividends from the Hand of God. There is nowhere in the bible that says that we should try to get out of paying tax. God is the rewarder when we give! That idea of write offs for our tithes came somewhere in the mid 1900’s from one of the presidents. Yes, you can do that as long as you want—expect your seed’s return from the government, but it is not scriptural; that will only last until the government changes its mind and that could be sometime very soon. What are we going to do then if the government can no longer pay social security or give you returns on your tithes and offerings? Wouldn’t it be better to start now and invest in the kingdom of God which has much return?

THE ABOMINATION OF PORNOGRAPHY IN THE CHURCH
Another abomination is the sin of pornography which opens you up to an unclean spirit.  We are infested with that horrible sin.  How many pastors, preachers touch God’s Holy pulpit while involved with this terrible abomination? Jesus wants holy preachers, holy men and women who will cast down every evil imagination, instead of entertaining the evil imagination of pornography. (I am not addressing those who have been involved in pornography, and have repented and put it away.) In the above scripture Joel 1:5-7, it states that the new wine was cut off from Israel and the new wine represents REVIVAL for us, but today there is none.  As He did to Israel He will do the same to us—cut us off from revival because of our sinfulness. God warned Israel of a nation without number that came against them. He said they were strong, whose teeth are like the teeth of a lion, and hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.  He further stated, “He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.” Joel 1:7. The fig tree represented Israel’s prosperity and the locust had stripped it down to the bark, cast it bare white. “The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.” Joel 1:12

THE CATERPILLAR STRIPPER
As Israel, America is being stripped down to the bare bone of her prosperity by the  Caterpillar Stripper. Our prosperous economy was Given o us by God and He made the hands of the American people to prosper. That was our reward and blessing because we used to be a praying, God fearing people holding up the Bible, the Ten Commandments and above all else Jesus Christ—He blessed us because of that stand. Now, We have thrown God out of our schools, cities and He is not allowed to be worshipped publicly—well Americans keep it up – you will see the total down fall of our economy and this nation. Other countries like China the Islamic nations and others can be compared to the nation in the book of Joel. They are considered strong, without number which means their teeth are teeth of a lion. They are coming in like the CATERPILLAR STRIPPER buying up our land and real estate, loaning money to our failing businesses and banks. If this keeps up, guess who is going to eventually own your mortgage America? Or is America already mortgaged? They are not Americans and do not have any compassion for us. Also, our hospitals will be taken over by foreigners and many of them will see us (the American People) as dollar signs only and cut on us without a real need.  Oh America, America, you have left your God and the fierce anger of the Lord will blow hot upon our Nation this New Year and all those guilty of sin.  God is removing his presence and with the removal of his presence goes the blessings that  we have enjoyed in this country. We have made our God angry as Israel did and our punishment will be no less than theirs!  “Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. II Kings 17:18-20.  As Israel, we will also be delivered into the hands of the spoilers such as China, Islamic countries and others who will be like the CATERPILLAR STRIPPER till nothing is left.  When our economy falls the depression days of 1929 will look hopeful to us.  Jobs will continue to be stolen from us. Yes, we need to prepare spiritually, but at present the most important thing that you and I can do is cry out to God that repentance would come to all.  The coming elections are secondary – these upcoming elections are a battle for America’s soul of the founding fathers’ principles--one last chance to put righteous men into office.

AS CHRISTIANS, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT
As judgments continue, destruction will follow. Disasters upon disasters, we can expect this year – severe weather, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, volcano eruptions, solar flares, blackouts, murders and  there is so much more that I can say, but I will not at this time.  You and I are the remnant people and the word for us this New Year is to follow hard after Jesus, stay away from sin or else it will swallow you up.  Go to church every time the doors open, read your word,  give and support the good works of God, be a helper to the poor or those less fortunate than you,  pray without ceasing, team up with a good work of prayer and help pray for the lost and our nation and many other needs.  Be at peace, our Jesus will see about us and never leave us or forsake us. As things shake on every side around us, we will stand on the rock—Jesus is our keeping grace. “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." Romans 11:5. To God Be the Glory, In His love and service, hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda



Prophetess hilda arredondo


 Covetousness--The Hidden Sin Of The Heart


In I Kings 21:1-2, it reads, “And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.  And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house:  and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.”  Now Naboth had some land and Ahab, the king of Samaria, his neighbor, looked over unto his vineyard and coveted after this choice piece of land and asked Naboth to name his price for that piece of property or if he wanted, the King could give him a better vineyard in exchange.  But Naboth answered Ahab, “…The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.”  I Kings 21:3.  In other words, Naboth refused the King’s offer.  He was not interested in parting with his land for money or for that matter, any kind of deal that Ahab would try to make would not sway him or change his mind to part with his vineyard. Then in verse 4 we read, “And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him:  for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.  And he laid him down upon hid bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.”  Ahab became depressed, losing his appetite and motivation because he could not have what belonged to another man!  As a matter of fact he got sick and went to bed and turned his face to the wall.  Ahab had a problem with an evil spirit of covetousness. What is coveting?  Coveting is an inordinate desire to obtain and possess, greatly wishing and longing for some supposed good.  
In Exodus 20, we read that the Ten Commandments of God were given to Israel, and today those same commandments are given unto us as the people of God here in AMERICA.  The first stone tablet given to Moses at Mt. Sinai listed the  first  five commandments  which instruct and teach us on how to keep a right standing relationship with God so His blessing, protection, peace, and goodness can flow into our lives.  Without God’s blessings and the Blood of Jesus upon our lives we will wander aimlessly in this life on a course of destruction.  The second set of the five commandments teach and instruct us on how to keep a right standing relationship with our neighbor or fellowman so we can live a harmonious and peaceful life with others.  On this second tablet of stone along with thou shalt not kill, commit adultery, steal, or bear false witness against thy neighbor is another commandment which we tend to easily overlook.  “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbors.”  Exodus 20:17.  To covet thy neighbor’s house, his wife, his man or maidservant, his ox, or anything that is thy neighbor’s is to desire that which is unlawful to obtain or possess because it does not belong to us, but rather to our neighbor!

COVETING IS AN EVIL DESIRE
Coveting after what belongs to a neighbor is an evil desire and will lead us to the sin of breaking another commandment, thou shalt not steal.  COVETOUSNESS, THE HIDDEN SIN OF THE HEART, works right along with the SIN OF ENVY and JEALOUSY.  It will subtly drive the individual to work evil of the heart to acquire something that does not belong to him.  Depending on the measure of this sinful iniquity in a person’s heart, covetousness works along with “EVIL EYE”, and will pull like a magnet and end up with something that belongs to someone else - a form of witchcraft.  Some will go as far as praying an evil travail to get what they want.  Please, read carefully this next sentence.  Yes, the Lord teaches us in His word that He will give us the desire of a pure heart, but that desire should stay within the boundaries of righteousness and godliness and in no way break the tenth commandment or for that matter any commandment given to us by Him. Let us read on about Naboth in verses 5-7 “But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?  And he said unto her,  Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money;  or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.  And  Jezebel  his  wife  said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel?  arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry:  I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”  
 Now we see that Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, stepped into the picture and really knew how to stir up that husband.  She looked at him lying in the bed, moping and depressed because he couldn’t have his way.  In disgust, she reminds him to not forget that he is the King of Israel and he can have whatever he wants, even if it means taking Naboth’s vineyard by force.  She tells him to get out of that bed, eat, and be merry because she is going to get that land for him.  We began to see here that Jezebel works right along with the sin of covetousness and will work and weave her plan until she gets what she wants.

SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL
Today, we can say that the Spirit of Covetousness works in conjunction with the Spirit of Jezebel and it is not necessarily always a female, but can also work in males.  Control, covetousness, envy, jealousy, and witchcraft work with the Jezebel spirit.  Jezebel also hates the true Elijah prophets and will try to hunt them down and kill them.  Why?  Because the true “Elijah Anointing” will confront and expose Jezebel and Ahab’s schemes.   
Today, these evil spirits of Covetousness and Jezebel run rampant in our nation and in our churches.  Because of this Evil Spirit of Covetousness, families, homes, marriages, businesses, friendships, Pastors, and Churches are many times destroyed every year.  Jezebel is allowed to sit comfortably and work her “Evil Schemes” cleverly and secretly while she overthrows, takes, and steals without firing a shot that anyone can hear.  Although Jezebel is clever and slick, she cannot hide from the God of Heaven or the True Prophets of the Lord.

COVETOUSNESS BLINDS
AND DECEIVES
Over the years I’ve seen the tenth commandment broken by the Jezebel spirit of the world and in churches.  In one particular incident that I can recall, a divorced Christian woman entered a church and everyone loved and sympathized with her unfortunate circumstance of being a single mom.  At this time, there was a happily married couple in the church.  The husband was a loving, affectionate man with his wife.  This woman began to eye that relationship and began first to only desire an affectionate husband like that church woman.  But church, that evil spirit of covetousness, a hidden sin of the heart, has no pureness nor knows no boundaries when entertained and given room in our mind and heart.  
Something happens to that mind that causes the person to become deceived into thinking that they can take someone else’s property.  The Pastor of that flock began to see her eye that couple in excess and then he noticed that she began to hang around more and more with that couple.  Then, this Pastor began to see her look at this brother with a lusting desire.  This Pastor knew that there was a “Spiritual Danger” and he could not allow this marriage to be broken up right under his nose by Jezebel.  This was his flock, and his responsibility was to protect the flock and confront this Jezebel wearing the cloak of covetousness.

JEZEBEL IS SCHEMING
As he exposed the evil schemes of this woman and confronted her about her secret motivations, she glared at him with such hatred and would have struck him if it had not been for the protection of the Holy Ghost that restrained her. She angrily shouted, “I’m entitled to some happiness and God wants me to have a mate and I love this man – he’s mine!”  
 Somehow the evil spirit of covetousness had taken over her heart, blinding and convincing her that the evil desire to take a husband away from a good wife and the father of those children was justified because she was entitled to happiness. She had been standing and singing songs to the Lord, fellowshipping with the saints, gaining everyone’s support while breaking the tenth commandment:  thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife (or neighbor’s husband).   
The Pastor spoke firmly, informing her that, yes, we are all entitled to happiness in the kingdom of God but not at the expense of breaking up a marriage and stealing another woman’s husband and shipwrecking the lives of innocent children.  She was asked to repent and change her heart; but she would not and left.  Church, Christians do this all the time and the spirit of covetousness goes undetected by leadership, not knowing that this kind of sin will cause them to miss heaven and inherit hell.

JEZEBEL STEALS
I’ve also seen the Evil Spirit of Covetousness tear up and split churches.  A good example of Jezebel in action – Someone coveted another man’s pulpit and before long that pastor lost his zeal for teaching and preaching the Word of God.  He gets up in the pulpit one Sunday morning and suddenly announces that he is leaving the ministry.  Some will wonder what happened – covetousness, evil travail, and Jezebel worked hand in hand to put him out.   
Yet another example – And then there is someone with a covetous heart that eyes the tithes and offerings of a particular church – pretty soon there is a split and church members leave to follow the new leader.  We ask, what happened?  Again, covetousness and Jezebel just killed a shepherd’s dream and stole the sheep entrusted to him by God. With no shame, remorse, or compassion, Jezebel walks away happily to start her work with the “Stolen Goods” that belonged to another shepherd.  Or if Jezebel can’t take it from you, you can be sure she will tear it up before she leaves, unless she is exposed.  
 Saints, our Lord Jesus taught us the way of HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS and WILL NOT BLESS EVIL.  Covetousness works along with an evil eye and WE MUST REPENT and GET RID OF THIS SIN and NOT ALLOW Satan TO USE US as a pawn in his hand.

JEZEBEL’S EVIL PLAN
Our Lord Jesus pointed out unto us in Mark 7:21-23, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:  All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”  Covetousness is a Sin that defiles a person.  Jezebel made her evil plans to get the vineyard for her husband by hiring two men who were the sons of Belial to murder Naboth, an innocent man.  We read in I Kings 21:15-16, “And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money:  for Naboth is not alive, but dead.  And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.”  
Yes, Jezebel delivered to Ahab the vineyard of Naboth, his neighbor whom she had murdered.  There was just one thing that Jezebel and Ahab had not counted on.  “And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.  And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?  And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.  And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?  And he answered, I have found thee:  because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord.  Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity…”  I Kings 21:17-21.  Further in verse 23 it reads, “And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.”  Yes, Scheming Jezebel had not counted on the Mighty God looking down from heaven on her “Evil Doings”.  In other words, the God of Heaven sent a message to Ahab and Jezebel – You have spilled innocent blood and I saw you murder Naboth. You will reap what you have sowed and your judgement shall be death.  Today, in the kingdom we have to Kill the Spirit of Jezebel and Covetousness through Sincere Repentance.

          JEZEBEL HATES ELIJAH
Jezebel hates the true prophets of the Lord and wants to kill them, but as we read the complete account of Jezebel’s story we know that she was killed by the wall of Jezreel; just as God had said, the dogs licked her blood.  Today, much is preached about evil, controlling Jezebels (women) who are called into the ministry.  Now we know that Jezebel was an evil woman, but not every woman who is called to the ministry is a Jezebel.  Just because a woman is called with the gift to administrate, govern, and lead does not make her a Jezebel in control.  
Let us quickly look at Deborah, the Prophetess, who was raised up not by man but rather by God’s Hand, as an executive leader over Israel.  She was a holy woman, a ruler (gift of rule) or judge over Israel.  The Bible says that Deborah judged Israel from under the palm tree.  It does not say that her husband sat next to her under that palm tree to properly cover her.  This tells us something about her Godly character.  Out in the open, in full view of all, she judged Israel.  She was not going to bring any reproach to the name of God or her husband.  Deborah was the wife of Lapidoth, but that’s all we know about her husband.  He is mentioned only once in Judges 4:4, “And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.”  
Deborah was a married woman called of God with a nation at heart – a nation that was being oppressed by Sisera and his nine hundred chariots of iron.  Deborah went out in the battlefield, not with her husband, but rather with Barak, her brother in the Lord and peer, who was another of Israel’s commanders and together they fought the battle.

DEBORAH – A BATTLE MAIDEN
As a matter of fact, Barak told Deborah that he would not go out to the battlefield without her.  Did this make Barak a coward, less of a man?  No.  Did this make Deborah insubordinate to her husband and out of his covering as a wife?  No.  What this tells us is that Deborah had her husband’s blessing and he had also recognized her God-given call and released her up to that call.  Deborah was officiating as God’s Warrior and Prophetess directed by the Spirit of the Lord.  He obviously loved his wife and there was perfect trust between them. I truly believe that in the role as wife she was covered by her husband because they were in unity about her call.  But her office as Prophetess was covered by God who initially called her from her mother’s womb.  All Prophets are sanctified and called from the mother’s womb.  It is not something they find along the road of life or choose as we would choose a career today. Her accountability in her office was to God and then earthly peers such as Barak, who also was a God-called military leader whom she worked with for the purpose of saving Israel.  
Now women should be covered by their husbands (if married) which means that they are in submission to those husbands.  If Lapidoth would have not blessed his wife and released her up to the Lord, she would then have been out of order and could be compared to a “Controlling Jezebel” and insubordinate to that husband.  What would we have said about Deborah in our modern day church thinking?  Would we say – Deborah your husband should be the head and you are out of order - because she was doing the commanding related to her position in the ministry and office of prophetess?  Would we have thought she was also running around in the field with a man that was not her husband?  Remember, Deborah was a Mature, Proven Prophetess and a Holy Woman entrusted by God as His Oracle and Leader.

FIERY SCHOOL OF HOLINESS
I can recall years ago, when the Lord began to prepare me for ministry.  Oh, what a Fiery School of Holiness He put me in.  The Lord began to send me out to minister and I was terrified to be labeled by the Christian Community of that day as a Jezebel who was trying to usurp her authority over the men.  But my God was calling and I had to obey.  My husband gave me his blessing and released me to go do the work of the Lord. I remember one day I was going to my first speaking engagement.  My husband was just coming into the things of the Lord and I kept waiting for him to come into the bedroom so he could pray for me and give me his blessing.  I wanted everything to be in perfect order.  I was getting a little frustrated because he was not coming to do what I thought he should do.  As I looked out the window of my bedroom, his head was under the hood and it appeared that he was checking the oil in the car; therefore, I said, “Okay, Lord, you bless and anoint me,” and I knelt down, bowed my head, and raised my hands to the God of Heaven.  
As soon as I was finished I heard the front door slam and Jose, my husband, called me and said, “Wife, come let us pray that God be with you this day and bless you.”  God settled a matter with me that day – that only God can call an office, and only God can anoint that position, and an earthly husband’s rightful role is only over her as his wife.  Yes, I submitted to him as my husband, but his authority was not over the office of God that the Lord had placed me in.  At that time, my husband was just coming into the things of the Lord and had very limited knowledge of the Word of God; therefore, God gave me several precious brothers who were Pastors and Brother Baraks to me, so to speak.  These Pastors were my Friends, Ministry Advisors, and later one of them became my Pastor until my husband grew in the Lord enough to know about spiritual matters.  
Today, Jose, My Husband is a Pastor, Ministry Advisor to the Ministry and we have become co-workers together in the Gospel!  Today, there are women still called as Deborah’s, Warriors, and Commanders with the Pure Motive of a Nation at Heart.  To God be the Glory!
