For Women Only! What Kind of Woman Are You?

Tuesday's Inspiration
Topic: Who is impregnating you?
Prov 30:10-30

Women have the power of influence. Women can use that power to build up God’s kingdom or tear down God’s kingdom. There isn’t a middle ground. Time and time again throughout the bible and the world we see examples of women using their influence to build or destroy.

We do not belong to ourselves. Our power is so great we must be careful how we use it. When a woman or a young lady is unaware of her power she will likely use if for destruction. Once we are aware of our power, we have a responsibility to use the power God has given us wisely.

The Holy Spirit allows us to use our power for good and not evil. Living without the Holy Spirit as a woman is dangerous even lethal. It is equivalent to driving a tractor trailer in rush hour traffic, completely inebriated. A woman without the Holy Spirit is equivalent to a widespread landmine.

Landmines are concealed explosives that detonate when pressure is applied. When we have not allowed the Holy Spirit into our lives and we are not aware of our influential power we are constantly detonating sometimes at the slightest amount of pressure. When a landmine detonates a person can be injured by direct blast or fragments of the blast. The problem with landmines are the person applying the pressure doesn’t know the landmines are there because it’s concealed. Often someone unknowingly or knowing applies pressure and they are destroyed by our direct blast or fragments of our blast.

The enemy convinces us that destroying someone verbally or non-verbally with our blast is an achievement. The enemy is a deceiver.

When we behave in a way that causes destruction we are outside of God’s will and we are an enemy of God. We are tearing down his kingdom. God created women differently than he created men. Men came directly from the earth. Women came from refined earth from man. God created us with refinement! Refinement is the process of making something purer by removing impurities. Refinement is an addition or alteration that improves something by making it more sophisticated or effective. We are refined! We are out of line when we diminish what God has polished. We came from refined earth, from the area closest to Adam’s heart. We have the power to influence a man’s heart. We have the power of influence and we must use that power wisely.

A Woman After God’s Heart	A Woman That Is An Enemy Of God
Prov 11:16 A gracious woman retains honor.	Prov 9:13 The woman named Folly is brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
Prov 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband.	Prov 11:22 A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
Prov 14:1 A wise woman builds her home	Prov 14:1 Foolish woman tears down her home with her own hands.
Prov 31:10-30 “Virtuous Wife” She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.	Prov 19:13, 37:15 A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She cooks, cleans, and knows a bargain.	Prov 21:9, 25:24 It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.
She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.	Prov 30:20 An adulterous woman consumes a man, then wipes her mouth and says, “What’s wrong with that?”
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.	Prov 30:21,23There are three things that make the earth tremble no, four it cannot endure: a bitter woman who finally gets a husband, a servant girl who supplants her mistress.
She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.	Prov 7:9-13 “loose women” The woman approached him, seductively dressed and sly of heart. She was the brash, rebellious type, never content to stay at home. She is often in the streets and markets, soliciting at every corner.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised (Prov 31:30). We can use our power for good or for evil. We speak without talking, our influence is great whether we are silent or storming. Our bodies can invite lust or warrant respect. Our tongue can kill and destroy or empower and uplift. Our actions will bring honor to our house or disgrace to our home. We chose which path we take. We must accept Christ, so the Holy Spirit can guide us to wisdom.

 We are an enemy of God when we misuse the influence he has given us. Our influence caused the fall of man with Adam. Our influence kept David in line to be King when Abigail intervened, kindling his rage and preventing him from sinning against God. Our influenced almost killed a nation when Zipporah influenced Moses not to fulfill circumcision on their son as she had different beliefs. She caused Moses to offend God which almost led to his demise. Zipporah seeing where her influence was leading to destruction, she circumcised their son and placed the foreskin at Moses feet saving him and a nation.

Our influence has a tremendous impact on everyone we meet. Our influence can change the shape of history. Even in our barrenness we give birth. We will either birth life in others or birth death, bitterness and destruction. Our reproductive system will reproduce whatever we allow to enter and fertilize our eggs. We will conceive and be a blessing to others or become a curse.  When we allow the Holy Spirit to impregnate us, we will conceive a blessing and be a blessing and we will reproduce God’s fruits of the Spirit. When we allow any other spirit to impregnate us we produce ungodly seeds and we will be a curse.

Put on your spiritual chastity belts and allow only the Holy Spirit & God’s word in to keep you pure and faithful. Walk in your refinement. There is no such thing as unrefinement, the word does not exist. Stop trying to pollute what God has refined. We are out of line when we attempt to become opposite of what God created. Even when we have polluted ourselves we cannot unrefine ourselves. We need God to wash us so we can return to the blessing he created. We are called to be kingdom builders working only in his kingdom. Walk in your refinement. Walk in your effectiveness. Walk in your politeness. Walk in in fear of God that he may praise you!

Pray

Most Holy and Everlasting Father. You are Great and Mighty. You are all powerful. I exalt your name and lift your name on high. Forgive me Lord, my heart is no longer proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me (Psa 131). I long for you to guide me with your Holy Spirit that I may be a virtuous woman. A woman that fears you more than I love myself. I know when I act out of emotion or use my power of influence for harm; I am worshipping myself and working for the enemy. I desire to work in your kingdom and live for your glory. I will no longer allow the enemy to have power over me. I submit my body as a living sacrifice that your Holy Spirit will lead and guide me to all truth.
