God's Equal Empowerment - the Holy Spirit 7/23/25 Frame Your Week with the Word

Frame Your Week with the Word The Empowerment of the Holy Spirit  Being Led by the SpiritToday we take some time to do a little Bible study on what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit.John 16:13 He guides us into the Truth of what Jesus has done for all people. He guides us into the truth of things to come, including the plans that God has for us.John 14:26 the Holy Spirit is the advocate, Intercessor, strengthener, comforter and counselor and standby and Helper.When the Holy Spirit moves, He moves by the spirit and in the spirit of all people at the gathering, irrespective of skin color or gender.When the Holy Spirit speaks and sets asides people for the work of the ministry, Acts 13, He sets asides both men and women for the work that the Lord called them to.The local church is more likely to ignore the 'setting aside' of the women that the Holy Spirit highlights.Paul walked and worked with women leaders, teachers and apostles . That was a POWERFUL way He DEMONSTRATED the truth of the gospel. Galatians 3:28. He had an active demonstration of the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in his ministry as he sent Priscilla to help Teach Apollos in a 'more excellent way."The Bible says the church should honor ALL those who labor among them, especially those who labor in teaching the Word and the ministry of the Word.The power of the gospel is it has resolved gender and racial tensions, setting men free from dominating women, and women free from trying to endlessly get their approval/acceptance. It has set each culture free to serve Jesus themselves, empowered by the Holy Spirit.No matter how you might have been ill-treated or just ignored and discounted in a local church because of your race or gender, the Holy Spirit will strengthen your heart, release supernatural comfort into your spirit and continue to guide you in the call of God on your life.The gospel of Jesus is proved and demonstrated when the men and women work together as co-heirs and equals. Each having access to the same opportunities and financial backing.Women will pull themselves out from under the captivity of being considered 'second class' faster than men pull themselves out of ungodly dominance over them. Men benefit from continuing to keep themselves operating in the mindset of the fallen world.The women pull themselves out because it is bad spiritiually for us to be 'unfree' john 8:36 and bad for our mental health to know in our spirits that we are equal, and yet be seen and treated as 'second class.' That can create mental health issues of anxiety and depression for women.Women ministers need to find places to serve where they are celebrated and not just tolerated. Men have traditionally been seen as and called 'the gift of God's to the church.' and not women. Paul has already corrected that, with his letters and the way he worked alongside women, and that was 2,000 years ago. Anyone who wants to know the truth and walk in it, can. It is a choice.Men tend to choose to be ignorant on the issue of equality, because they benefit from their ignorance.Paul asked the church to support the women who labored along side of him. Phil. 4:3The Holy Spirit's empowerment is to empower us for the purpose that God has for us.Our book "The Case for Tongues" God's power for life and fuel for revival is available at www.H2two.orgFor more information about Victory Bible School, and how to partner with H2:2 ministries, go to: https://h2two.org/bookstore-and-partners
