Anytime a women of God obeys God first, she is being a leader. But there is a difference between a leader and a spiritual authority. Spiritual authority is a divine spiritual quality. God does not make women spiritual authorities over the Sons of God. Nor do Sons of God continually yield to a woman as their spiritual Authority. Yes, Women of God have spiritual authority over the Sons of Men and the Sons of the Devil, but not over the Sons of God. In the Bible, women are physical judges, they prophesy, they share the Gospel, they lead worship, but they do not have Spiritual Authority over the Men of God. The Men of God are given spiritual authority over women by God Himself. And the reason is that Authority is the tool God gives to perform a given responsibility. There are certain responsibilities God has given to men of God only. That is why God has given them Spiritual Authority.... to act out these responsibilities. Women who are not given the same responsibilities are also not given the associated Spiritual Authority. It has been like this since the beginning when God gave a commission and command to Adam before Eve was created. Before sin and the fall, Eve had no problem subjecting herself to Adam and God. And Adam had no problem exercising His authority to keep his responsibilities in the Garden with all kindness and love. But since Eve ate the fruit, women have desired rebelliously to have Authority over the men of God, and the men of God have exercised their Authority with harshness and a lack of love and not fulfilled their God-given responsibilities. In Christ, there is neither male nor female, but all are One. EVEN SO, the Holy Spirit, thru the Apostle to the Gentiles (PAUL) does not allow women of God to exert their spiritual authority over the Men of God, and neither should we. My personal experience is that Christ teaches me Himself. I have never gotten any spiritual revelation from any woman of God. They just cannot reveal anything of God to me that I don't already know because I get it straight from the Word (Jesus Christ) and the Scriptures. My human knowledge has been corrected by women (facts and details), but not my spiritual understanding of God or my interpretation of Scriptures. The Holy Ghost also will not allow me to sit under a woman "preacher". I do not even believe there is such a thing, as "preaching" is a spiritual act of "coughing up" God's timely, Spirit inspired word of instruction, and God does not spiritually rebuke Men of God using women. It's not His divine order. It's against His very Nature. He rebukes men Himself thru the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus and other Men of God. That is why I do not listen to women who are trying to spiritually rebuke me. It's not God. It's Satan. And I know this because they never quite get it right. They cannot get the rebuke correct because they themselves are not in the Spirit when they seek to exercise spiritual authority over a Man of God.
