Restoring Biblical Womanhood

A culture can’t redefine womanhood without redefining everything downstream of it: marriage, children, church life, and even how a nation thinks about justice. We take a direct, Scripture-first look at what the Bible says was lost as feminism rose, and why “restoring womanhood” starts by going back to Genesis instead of trying to baptise modern assumptions.

We walk through the creation order in Genesis 1 and 2, the purpose of dominion and multiplication, and why headship is more than a vague idea of “servant leadership.” From 1 Peter 3 we talk about winning a husband without preaching at him, and from 1 Timothy 2 we deal with the hard lines about women teaching and authority over men. We also connect modesty, long hair as a covering, and the “meek and quiet spirit” to a deeper theme: God’s design is not about weakness, it’s about spiritual order that protects the home.

Then we zoom out to society and ask controversial questions about leadership, empathy, and justice. Romans 13 describes civil rulers bearing the sword, and we explore why a nurturing, compassionate disposition that blesses motherhood can become dangerous when it governs doctrine or law. Finally we bring it back into the living room: the duty of a husband to provide and not neglect, the sin of resentment and nagging, and Proverbs’ picture of the virtuous woman as a crown and a source of peace.

Welcome And How To Connect

Greetings, Bible believers and followers of the end time message. Welcome to another episode of the Jason Demars Podcast, the place where we explore the incredible mysteries hidden within the pages of the Bible. I'm your host, Jason Demars. It's time to get started on another journey into the heart of God's Word. If it's your desire to grow in Revelation and see the message in the light of the Bible, you're in the right place. Today, brothers and sisters, we delve into the scripture, guided by the extraordinary revelations that God chose to unveil through Brother William Marion Branham, a messenger with a unique calling to fulfill Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7, and unlock the secrets of the end time message. Our purpose isn't to have another basic Bible study. We're going to dig deep and peel back the layers of prophecy, decoding the signs and perhaps discovering how the Bible resonates within the very fabric of our present day and time. In this podcast, my purpose is to help you grow in your faith through solid Bible teaching through the lens of the message of Malachi 4. So grab your Bible, a cup of coffee, and let's get started. And remember that your feedback, testimonies, questions, and prayer requests are always welcome. Please send them on social media or at jasondemars.com. With that said, let's get into today's podcast. Womanhood has been ravaged and destroyed by the onslaught of feminism in our culture. We're so far removed from a culture that once embraced biblical truth that we now can barely understand what it means to be a woman. We live in a world that allows mixed bathing, bikinis, and spandex in public, no fault divorce, birth control pills, pornography, women preachers, women CEOs, women politicians, women working out alongside men in health clubs, aggressive women sexually pursuing men, etc., etc. But imagine a world that once regarded an unmarried young man and unmarried young woman together in a room without a chaperone as a scandal that needed to be shamed. Imagine a world where wives and daughters worked in the home and were not involved in politics, and that everyone viewed women as needing the protection, provision, and understanding of their male relatives, and that all of a sci society existed to ensure that women had the ability to care for their children in their own home. Now, we don't we live in a post-Christian and post-biblical worldview society, and our purpose is to live according to the scriptures, and for that purpose, we want to move forward and look at the subject of restoring womanhood. And so, as always, we want to turn to Genesis and find out the original design, and then we can properly see the restoration of womanhood. Now, you may look at some of this and see it as extreme or very strange, but I want everyone to look at this and really understand that the Lord has a purpose for men and the Lord has a purpose for women, and we want to be sure that we're in a place and in a position that we're truly following what the scripture says. I don't say anything provocatively or with a desire to offend anyone. The purpose is to forward the view of scripture, and in some ways, we've become so accustomed to feminism in our society and culture that we've completely left behind God's purpose and plan for women. And to hear someone to speak plainly about it, it becomes offensive. If you get to that place where you feel frustrated or offended by what's being said, let's just back up and let's not get emotional and get upset and turn off the podcast. But let's just pause and reflect and let the Lord speak to your heart, and then you go and pray about it. You go and search the scriptures yourselves and see what the word says about it. So Genesis 1, 26 through 28, and God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. So when God originally made man, who he is is the likeness and image of God. So what is that saying? It's speaking of the fact that God took a part of his life and put it down into human flesh. That's why later we'll see God says he breathed into Adam the breath of life. And so God from Himself, out from Himself, took a little portion of Himself to create a man, a man, made male and female. He made them male and female in one body, and he put Adam on the earth, and Eve was inside of Adam. And so this was to be an expression of Christ and the bride. Christ, before the foundation of the world, the bride was already in Christ. And so before the full formation of manhood and womanhood, Eve was inside of Adam. And so he made them and he gave them two parts. He said, multiply and refill up the earth. And then he said, Take dominion over it. So two parts, dominion and multiplication. So first, man is made to be an expression or a visible manifestation or the representative of God upon the earth. So little gods, as we would say, are little Elohim, as we would say, not because they somehow are God Himself, no, or create the Creator Himself, no, but rather His vice regents upon the earth. So he says, as his vice regents made in his image and likeness, having his own life within them, God's life in them, he says, Take dominion and multiply. So two parts. And as we see, there this is the two parts that God made. He made man for dominion, he made woman for multiplication. So let's keep reading Genesis two, four through eight. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground, but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And verse 15, and the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. So he says to work and to guard. So two two functions of the man. First function is to work, and the second function is to guard. So this is part of dominion. So taking dominion was was to work and to guard. Alright. And then he was to multiply, but he couldn't multiply on his own. He needed He needed the woman to be taken out of out of him in verse twenty. And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to the fowl of the air and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found in help meat for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof, and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh, and they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Alright, so we have this place where Eve was taken out of Adam. Eve was a byproduct of Adam. So God took flesh and rib and spirit out of Adam and formed Eve. And he says, This is woman. What does woman mean? Taken out of man or out of man. So Adam has the authority over the woman because he has the authority of naming, and he was formed first. So he has the authority. So what is the woman's purpose? She's a helper. A man and a woman come come together and they become one flesh to produce offspring. And so that that function of multiplication is for the woman. So she is a helper to the man in the vision that God gives to the man. So the primary is the man, the secondary is the woman, and her purpose is to help the man in what purpose that he has. So she was made for the purpose of multiplying the image of God. Now let's read what Brother Branham says from the sermon Marriage and Divorce. Notice the reason that she did this, talking about the fall, she was not in the original creation. She is not in God's original creation, she is a byproduct. Therefore, at the beginning, as Jesus referred to it, she was not the original creative being of God. She's a byproduct of a man when Jesus referred to the beginning. Remember, Adam was both masculine and feminine in the original creation, one, but then he was separated by a rib. Notice, but a byproduct, and notice the only one of all God's creation. Of every animal and anything else, she was the only one designed this way. Every other female was in the original creation. Every other female was in the original creation, but Eve was not in the original creation. See, that had to be made that way. We'll get to it after a while. Notice in this creation that she was not in the original, but a byproduct. Now I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I want to tell you the truth. And you just sit still, you're doing nice. There's nothing designed to be so deceitful as a woman that's deceitful. There cannot be nothing else. There's nothing made to be that way, and also there's nothing that can be so easily deceived as a woman. Now the fall proves this statement to be true. The fall in the beginning. She was not in the original beginning creation, she was in Adam, but not in the female sex herself at the beginning. She was the byproduct made. Alright, so we look at this and we see then that you have another part, and he's referring to 1 Timothy 2. We're going to get to that and we'll make sure to read that and go through that. But the picture is that the only one, so God made all the animals, male and female, immediately. Adam and Eve, when we drill down and see the creation, is he made Adam by himself, and he emphasized to Adam the fact that he was alone, that he didn't have a help meet with him. So that was emphasized to show Adam's need, but it was also there because God, in his original creation, man could not be deceived. Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. So the woman was designed a specific way so that she could be see be deceived, and that was by the purpose of God, because there needed to be a fall so that God could fully express who He is. And so the woman was designed in that way, second as a secondarily taken out of the man. And so she was the one that could be deceived, number one, and also she was used by the enemy for the purpose of deception, and it's still that way. Both those things are still true. So as we look at this, let's turn and look at first Peter chapter three, verses one through six. Likewise, ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands, that if in that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be one by the conversation of the wives, while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Who's adoring? So they're they're not to be one by the wife preaching at her husband. It says sh he's to be one without the word. By the conversation, not com not conversation doesn't mean the discussion, but it means the conduct of the wife, how she behaves herself towards her husband. That would her her Christian attitude towards her husband, not nagging him and trying to force him or manipulate him, but loving her with the love of Christ by that conduct and serving him and obeying him, as long as he doesn't ask her to disobey the word and respecting him and reverencing him and being submissive to him, that would win him without the word. While they behold your chaste conversation, again, chaste conduct coupled with fear, reverence, it speaks of. So there's he's asking wives to have reverence for their husbands and to have chaste conduct and to be to win their husbands with their conduct, not with the word. And then he says, For wives, whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plating the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. All right, but let it be the hidden man of the heart. So what adorning should we have, Peter? Let it be the hidden man of heart. So focus your mind on what you're adorning, the hidden man of the heart, more than you focus on the outward adorning. In that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price. So here the the nature, the female nature, properly, according to Scripture, is a meek and quiet spirit. Meek doesn't mean weak, doesn't mean fearful in a sinful sense. It meek means easily led. So he designed a woman to be led, and he designed her to have a quiet spirit, not a not a not a loud, boisterous, obnoxious, nagging spirit, but a gentle or a quiet spirit with meekness. And this in the sight of God is of a great price or is a great value. So a woman is designed to have a meek and quiet spirit. And he says, For after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves. What did they adorn themselves with? A meek and quiet spirit, being in subjection unto their own husbands, even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well and are not afraid with any amazement. Amen. So Sarah, he's using that and say, follow this example of Sarah, who called Abraham Lord. Shall I have pre pleasure with my Lord, him and I being past the time of life? And so she acknowledges with a term of respect Abraham's headship over her, and scripture says she had a meek and quiet spirit. And so the female nature is not designed to be in a place of leadership, a place of decision making. She's designed to be in a place of being led. And even as we see, you know, this is not about masculinity, but it goes together. As we see, if you read in Numbers 30, it's very specifically showing that headship isn't merely just what we would call servant leadership and leadership by consent. No, it's not just just that, it's uh decision-making authority. So if a woman makes a decision and she's uh not married but is is a dog or her under the headship of her father, which of course women are un according to scripture, there's no in-between. A woman who's has a father, she's under his headship until the time she's married. And then when she's married, she's given over to the headship of another. And so if she's married, her husband has a right to change the decision that she makes, or if she's not married, her father has a right to change the decision, override and change the decision that she makes. And so God places the power of headship and the authority of decision making, even to the place where He He says this woman has made a vow unto the Lord. If her father or husband hears it in the day that whenever he hears it, he can disallow that decision, and the Lord will not hold her guilty for that vow. And so this is headship means decision-making authority. And so, of course, more than that, but that's one of the main ways that we find that scripture puts forth headship, headship without decision making authority isn't headship at all. And so that's why a woman with a meek and quiet spirit, that's in the sight of God, is a great value. And so Brother Branham says, and is your life worthy of the gospel? Uh women ought to look to Jesus Christ. You ought to look to Sarah and them of the Old Testament. Now they got so that I was preaching the other night somewhere about women to obey their husband. Obey? Yeah, that went out of the marriage ritual a long time ago. But ain't you going to do that? No, sir. They live in America and they let you know so they're not going to obey. But as long as you don't do it, don't ever try to call yourself a Christian because you're not. I don't care how much you dance and speak with tongues. If you don't obey your husband, you're out of the will of God. Amen. That's scripture. So part of that is obedience. And we'll look at we'll we're gonna go through a lot of scripture. It's probably going to be a fairly lengthy podcast this time. First Thessalonians chapter two, verses seven and eight. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse or a nursing mother cherisheth her children. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear unto us. And so here Paul is saying, We bel we behaved like nurses towards you. Our gospel behavior towards you was just like a mother who's gentle and cherishes her children and was so affectionately desirous of you that we were willing to give our very life for your sake. And isn't that a beautiful expression of motherhood? Mothers have that nature and have the That compassion within them, that God designed them with such an incredible compassion and connection that they have with their children. And even as you begin to study, as the hormones that will come into a woman's body after just after she gives birth, the bond her, immediately bond her and unite her to that little child. And there's such a tender compassion and protection and desire that she has, that she would be so gentle and cherishing of that child, and that she would even give her own life for the sake which she does. You know, sh her her body gets torn down and beat up, getting pregnant and going through pregnancy and then giving birth and then nursing and the pains that many times go along with that, that she's willing to go through that for the sake of her little her little child. Now that's a real that's real motherhood. Now, of course, they don't even want to be deformed, so they get a get them bottle fed, and they don't even many times they they just want to have a surrogate and have somebody else carry their baby. Now that's the epitome of of no the spirit of womanhood being amongst us. But a real mother is ready to give her very life for her children, is very the sustenance of her body, sacrifice the strength and fitness of her body for the sake of her children. It's precious treasure that the Lord desired deems as something that's of great value and is very beautiful. In the sermon, the flashing red light of the sign of his coming, preached in 1963, Brother Branham says what happens out of marriage. Here's another place in the Bible. Out of marriage goes the vow obey. Huh? Obey? Huh. A keeper at home, chaste of good works, she laughs in your face and goes to the powder plant, somebody's office. My husband, yeah, oh I doubt that. If these forces today such a disgrace, put women on the police force, if that isn't a mark of debauchery among any city, as many men is out of work and they have to put them women out there. When the Bible said she's to stay at home and be a chaste keeper at home, but she keeps all the bosses' books and yours too. Yes, that's right. I ain't talking about good women now. I'm not throwing this to you, women that's really godly women, God bless you. That's on tape or wherever more, but I'm talking about where you find one like that, you find 1,500 the other way. They won't listen to a word. Keep your Bible, preach it to yourself. We don't want to hear it. Obey. Oh. She might say this. You tell your Bible story to somebody else. Keep your God to somebody else and leave me alone. What are you hollering at me about? I never did ask you to say these things. I know, but God did, see? So that's all. So they still corrupt the way just as they did in the days of the Lord. Just as they did in that day, so do they today, just the same. It hasn't changed, it doesn't change, it won't change. Juvenile delinct delinquency finally gets her children. The jail gets part of the women and the men, and hell takes the whole thing. That's exactly right. Finally swallows them all up. And the preaching seems to go the top of their backs. They never listen to it. They're going to have their own. You can tell them the Bible says this, they say, keep your Bible, we're going to have our fun. I can hear you some of you sisters saying now, maybe not right present, but hear you saying, Who me, obey my husband? I make him obey me. But there's where you're wrong. Stay at home? Chaste? I don't care what the Bible says about you, leave me alone. Listen, sister, that wasn't back in the dark ages. That's the voice of today. That never happened so much back in the antediluvian. That happens today, too. That's the same thing. Again, they say I'm a modern woman. I live in America. Well, that's no more than you live in a hog pen. It wouldn't make a bit of difference to God where you lived. You are what you are in your heart. That's right. And don't think, sister, that you're so modern that you're one of these modern women, as you want to say today, you're from a way back according to this Bible in the dark ages, into the Andaluvian time, in the time of Noah, that's when they did the same thing. So you're not so very modern after all, are you? See? That's the way they acted in the antediluvian world, see? And that's the way they're acting today. So it must be dark age again, back in the dark, great, dark beyond. And you man that will let your wife do it, you're no longer sons of God. No, you kind of fell into Sodom. That's right. Let the women boss you around. Oh my. Amen. This is excellent, excellent quotes. Brother Branham acknowledging and seeing women have gotten to this place. You can't tell me what to do. I'm in charge of my husband. I can run around. And Brother Branham says, Your place is at home, your place is to obey. And now you're just fulfilling the scripture that they would be without natural affections and that they would be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure, more than lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, and despisers of those that are good. In the sermon Influence, Brother Branham says, And you men that's smoking cigarettes, that's unbecoming, and you men that's letting your wives do that, and then you say you're sons of God, a man. The great the great vow that's took place at the marriage sun ceremony, love, honor, and obey is gone. In America, the woman has the right of way. Well, everywhere she has got the right of way. The Bible said she would have it that way. They say that the women is the most careful drivers that we got in the land. That's wrong. My son and I crossing the nation back and forth keep a book, and every time there is what we call a boo-boo pulled on the road, if it's the man, we put it under man and woman under woman. And under 300 boo-boos across the nation, there was 291 of them women. How did they base theirs? Because of the reports that's turned in. Certainly them cops ain't going to arrest them nice looking women if they got a telephone number. They won't turn them in, they let them go, and that's the reason. You see, it's become a woman's world. The Bible said it would be that way exactly. So the preacher in the pulpit is just about the same thing. He is afraid to say anything against it. Amen. Even back then, now they were presenting women as the victim, and that men would just excuse their behavior because, well, it's a woman. In questions and answers, number four, brother Branham says, Brother Branham, the Bible tells us that a wife should obey her husband. I'm a Christian. And my husband is a sinner. He persecutes me in every way that he can. And for me not to go to church and read my Bible and denies the word, what should I do? What should you do? Now listen, you're supposed to obey your husband, that's the word. Now, if he tells you and refuses you to read the Bible, go to church, or something like that, you don't have to obey that because he that won't forsake his father, mother, husband, wife, or whatever it is, and follow me is not worthy of me. Is that right? Now don't, the men are supposed, you're not, a man's not supposed to use that authority over a woman just because he's her ruler. God is her ruler above you, brother. See, and if your wife is doing something wrong, then you got a right to tell her, and she's supposed to listen to you, but you haven't got no right to beat her or drag her around or do those things. No. God made her a helpmate, not a doormant. Remember, she was your sweetheart. She should always be that. Amen. So Brother Branham uh acknowledges the fact that there are men that beat and persecute and mistreat their wives, although in our in in this still happens today, but probably what's more common is that women mistreat and treat their husbands like they're just garbage and talk down to them and verbally abuse them and manipulate them more than anything. So this this woman asking this question, wonderful question. Her heart's desire is to obey the word. Brother Branham doesn't back it up. You're supposed to obey your husband, but if he tells you, don't read the Bible, don't go to church, don't pray, etc., then you don't have to obey him in that. But in the other thing, she's supposed to do that. Then he brings it around and says, Now you're not supposed to misuse your authority over your wife, husband, uh, in order to get her to do just whatever you want to do. You you realize that God rules above all, and you're to be you're to be an expression of God's leadership in your home. So make sure you're in touch with God, listening to God, getting the vision for your family from Him, and then going forward, then your family is goes forward in obedience to you. First Timothy two, verse nine. So we'll start going through that a little bit, in like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety, not with broided hair or gold or pearls or costly array, but which becometh women professing godliness with good works. Let the one woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. So here Paul is telling us the reason why a woman should learn in silence, and that she is not allowed to teach or to usurp authority over the man. Why is that, Paul? For Adam was first formed. So, number one, Adam was first formed, then Eve. So this demonstrates the headship of man, and that woman shouldn't usurp authority over him. And two, verse 14, and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was being deceived, was in the transgression. Notwithstanding, she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. So Paul bases his argument, repeating this for clarity. Paul bases his argument on the creation order. It's not based on the fall, and then it's redeemed and changed to the new covenant. But he says that the woman is not to teach in the church for two reasons or usurp authority over the man. Adam was first formed, and Eve was deceived. These implications are not just on Eve, but on all women to follow. It's in the nature, generally speaking, of all women that have ever lived upon the earth, that they are more easily deceived. She has a nature that causes her to be more easily deceived than the man, and thus she should not teach man. And if you look closely into the specific design, God has designed women specifically for childbearing and nurturing and the preservation of the human race in mind. And so this is what God's first order of business for the woman is. Abigail Dodds writes about this God-given nature. Research shows that women in particular are more empathetic than men when seeing other people in pain. I think this reflects a wonderful design feature that God has given women that benefits not only any children we might have, but our entire communities. A woman who is sensitive to the feelings of others and especially their pain will be a sort of first responder. She's able to move toward the hurting. She can sound the alarm that someone is in need. And very practically, for mothers, she can sense her infant's need for food and sleep and attention. She can detect a downcast glance from her teenage daughter or son. She can tell if her husband is carrying some frustration from his workday. Doesn't this make sense with God's design for a woman? The one he called helper, Genesis 2.18. What a gift God has given to women. Amen. And so we see this nature that he's given her with, this nature of compassion and connection, is a great blessing in a family. But when it comes to safekeeping the doctrine and worship of the church, this becomes a great liability. God forbids us to have empathy and pity in circumstances of idolatry and abandoning the truth of the Lord. We can think of when Moses came down from the mount and he called out, Who's on the Lord's side? Sons of Levi came to him and he told them, Go and kill all the idolaters, and do not let your eye pity them. Cannot compromise on the revelation of the mysteries of the word, because it might hurt someone's feelings. And the same is the case with civil law, our civil government. Romans 13, one through five, let every soul be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power but of God, the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same, for he is the minister of God to thee for good, but if thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain, for his he is a the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore you must needs be subject not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. So we see that doesn't seem like a very fitting nature for a woman, a revenger of evil, executing wrath upon them that do evil. Civil magistrates are sent by God to execute his justice against evildoers. So as Adam Smith said, mercy to the guilty is cruelty cruelty to the innocent. So we see this. Women are more compassionate and have more empathy than men. Lenient sentences encourage reoffending. Failing to punish lawbreakers encourages continual life of criminality. And a 2006 study published in Nature found that while both genders feel empathy for fair individuals in pain, men showed reduced empathy and increased activation in reward-related brain regions when watching cheaters receive an electric shock. Women continued to display neural empathy even for the unfair player. So we see within this, women had empathy even for the cheaters, even for the lawbreakers. They had empathy for the for those who received electric shock, for those who were unfairly shocked, they had empathy. And for those who are cheating, they also had empathy fire up in their minds and in their hearts when the cheaters received an electric shock. So they both in both situations that they did. This would make for a very poor justice in the Supreme Court. That's why I think our government and the Supreme Court, Congress, and the White House, all of none of them should have women in positions of authority because their compassion, which is wonderful in a family, expressed in a family, and expressed, you know, in in through the decision-making making capabilities of a man, very good. So key findings of the study, male response, male brains showed reduced activation in empathy-related areas and reward activation, indicating a sense of satisf satisfaction or pleasure at seeing cheaters receive punishment. So when they fulfilled their duty, when they when they saw a cheater get punished, they were satisfied with that. The females didn't have the same response. Female response, women showed significantly more empathy for the cheater's pain compared to men, though their empathic response was slightly lower than when observing a fair person in pain. Motivation men expressed a stronger desire for justice, and this desire correlated with higher reward center activity during the shock. So this specifically shows us God's purposeful design. God designed women this way and men this way for a specific purpose. A mother giving empathy and in turn responding to the needs of all her children, all her family, no matter what, is a tremendous asset. Her connection to the emotions of others is a gift. But put that untethered to male headship and in a leadership position, and you get chaos. This is the world that we live in. This is what has happened to our society. First Corinthians 11, 13 through 15, judge in yourselves. Is it comely for a woman to pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair, it's a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering. So Paul refers to nature. The logic and the continuity of nature teaches us this very thing. That woman is the weaker vessel, and that if you govern govern according to empathy, you produce manipulation and control with a new victim class rising up after a new victim class, that the female mothering nature has to coddle and infantilize and ensure they're emotionally okay. And it tends to chaos without a man leading. Just as you see in the homes governed by single mothers for generation after generation. The girls born of that union are in continual search for male approval, and they use your their sexual attraction to gain it, thus producing another generation without a father in the picture. Boys born out of that union have anger and no moral compass and wind up in prison. Children who grow up in a fatherless home are twenty times more likely to end up in jail because they have the expression of compassion from their mother. Wonderful. It's without it we suffer greatly. But without a father who has that full sense of justice and satisfaction in his heart when justice is served, y children, boys and girls both suffer. Ephesians five, twenty-two through twenty-four. Wives submit uh oh we don't like that word. Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife, the chief, the ruler of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body. Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in only the things that they want to be. No, in everything. Colossians three eighteen wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as is as it is fit in the Lord. So it's fit in the Lord for her to submit to her own husband. She's not to submit to every man, it's not the idea of male headship over every woman, but a woman has a specific head. If she's married, it's her husband. If she's not married, it's her father. If she's a widow, if she's a widow, she's her own head head. If her she's old, never married, and both her parents have passed away, she is she has become the head of her own single household. The word submit comes from the Greek word hypotaso. It means to place or arrange under, to subordinate, to bring under influence, to be subordinated, to be abroad under a state of influence, to submit oneself oneself, render obedience, be submissive. So a woman is subordinate to her husband. She is under his authority and she's commanded to obey him. So as we look at the text of scripture, the uh Thinking of really all the scriptures that we looked at, man was designed to rule. Woman is the weaker vessel, and then therefore is to be subordinate to and to obey her husband or her father. Second part of it is the woman is made for compassion, and as such, she's subject to be more easily deceived. Isaiah three twelve and thirteen. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. The Lord standeth up to plead and standeth to judge the people. So God, uh a sign of God's judgment and God's curse is that children and women rule over them, and they're causing you to err and destroy the way of your paths because the entire thing is upside down. God ordained for male headship in the family, in the church, and in government. And when woman comes out of her place, gets out of the home, comes into church government, family government I should say, I should say that becomes the head of her husband, gets involved in church leadership, gets involved in government leadership, she's out of her place, and it's a sign of the lack of headship in the society. Titus two, three through five. The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things, that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. I want you to notice that the older women are not instructing the younger women to go off and get an education and a university degree. They're instructing them to be discreet, to be chaste, to be a keeper at home, to be obedient to their husband, so that the word would not word of God would not be blaspheme. So we're looking at that, let's break it down. He's teaching the young women the attributes of godly character. That's the first thing. To love their husbands, to love their children, to be a housekeeper, and obey their husbands. So the older women, older women should be actively te demonstrating in their lives and teaching the younger women to do those things, to be a keeper at home. This is the place that God has put women. So aged mot and aged women and mothers should instruct their children in Christian living specific to their sphere at home. Father should be overseeing and making sure that's happened. Young ladies, younger women should should be under training to be loving loving wives and mothers and housekeepers. It shows that wives should win their husbands without the word, using her conduct and character and how she lives as a believer. In questions and answers on Genesis, Brother Branham says, and use when you see a woman acting like a man, she's got out of her place. You see, in the beginning, I think it's a shame that women have lost their dainty feminish place. It's a disgrace. I'm not talking about you women here, but of course it hurts, it just does. But look, let me ask you something. It used to be that women was so feminine till a man would go talking to them and they'd blush. What is blushing anyhow? I haven't seen it in so long, I wouldn't even know what it was if some woman blushed. They haven't got any of that dignity anymore. All that their fine feminist spirit. They'll wear clothes like a man, cut their hair like a man, smoke like a man, drink like a man, cuss like a man, vote like a man, work like a man, so become rough, burly. Oh my, that shows where we got to. That's exactly that little lady like, you don't see her much more. She's a hard person to find, isn't that right? Yes, that's the truth. So a woman is not supposed to stand up and act like a man big and burly because she's dainty. That's where we see a meet meek and quiet spirit, a dainty, feminish spirit. First Timothy five fourteen, Paul writes, I will therefore that the younger women go to university and have a career. Is that what it says? No, that's not what it says. I will therefore that the young and younger women marry, bear children, guide the home, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reach reproachfully. America, and even now many message believers have turned this into I will that the younger women go to college and find a career because we don't know how to help the young men get ready to provide for a family. Where is this there's parental delinquency, there's father delinquency, and there's pastor delinquency. Why are we taking the easy out to go the way of the world? We don't have to have this kind of culture amongst our churches and amongst the people. We can have it like how Brother Branham taught us to have it instead of having it the way the world does it. It just takes faith, it takes a focus. Like we're gonna we're gonna change this culture. Can we just change this culture amongst the message? Can we get back to biblical culture instead of American culture? Say our culture demands such and such. What if this is happens? What if it's all based on unbelief? Let's aim our daughters to be wives, mothers, and housekeepers. Let's actively prepare them specifically for that, and then also preparing them to be homeschool moms as well, because it the Bible says train up a child in the way they should go, and when they're old, they'll not depart from it. That's the duty of fathers and mothers. The Bible says, Don't forsake your mother's instruction. Right? We don't re raise our families or lead our churches by what culture demands. If we do, we've perverted the church. We've perverted the local church and we've perverted the word. We go by the clear teaching of the word of God. Paul instructed Pastor Timothy, the first church aid messenger, instructed the pastor Timothy, teach younger women to get married, have children, and be homemakers. Brothers, pastors, I I I want to speak to you and say, Would you teach would you teach the younger women to get married, have children and be homemakers? When God gives a command, it means an obedient heart. Let me back up. Let me rephrase how that I want to say that. When God gives a command, and that command meets an obedient heart, the same God makes a way for it, even in a culture that is dead set against it. Brother Branham says this in Questions and Answers, 1964. Brother Branham, are women allowed to work in public affairs when they have a healthy husband and children? I am asking a question for someone else. Well, I don't know about that. I can't say, but I just have this feeling. Let me say this. I believe if I was a woman and I know that my husband was healthy and had a good job working, I believe what it would be a great pleasure to me to stay home, take care of my children, and take care of my children and raise them up and to love the Lord. And if I had any time for my washing and things that I was going to do, I think I would teach my children how to serve the Lord. Now, if you've got a debt or something that you're trying to help your husband pay for, or something that you have to do that, well, I think that's fine if you'll try to help him and you live a lady, and I think it's hard. No man that's got good understanding wants his wife to get in a bunch, there's a bunch of vulgar, dirty men and things like that. But if the woman has to get in that, I think she ought her husband ought to know that she's a genuine Christian that can be trusted, a trustworthy woman. But now, as to say that she shouldn't work, I don't know. See, there's no scripture to back that up. I'm just passing that opinion. But I think if a woman wants to work and she wants to work, now I'm certainly against, now listen to what he says. Now I'm certainly against women working in these offices where all these businessmen that carry on, tell them dirty jokes, and a nice clean woman sitting there and all these smuddy, dirty things told her on like that. I'm against that. I think you ought to come out from among such stuff as that. But now, if a woman can hold herself as a real lady and trying to help her husband do something to meet some clothes for the kids to go to school or pay off a bill or something like that, and she wants to work till that's over. Now, this is not the Lord, because I don't have no scripture for this. I'm just saying that it'd be in my opinion. But otherwise, I wouldn't think just because she wants to work to just run around and have more money to spend, run around and run to bar rooms or drink, smoke, and carry on. I don't think she should do it. I think she should stay home, try to be a lady, and take care of her house. So that's an exception. This is an Brother Branham's saying, this is an exception. You know, if you're in an extraordinary circumstance where you've gotten yourself in debt or your husband's sick or something like that, yes, I understand the extraordinary circumstances, but we don't order ourselves according to the extraordinary circumstances. We order ourselves according to the word. Choosing of a bride, Brother Branham says, now I'm, you know, I'll take that quote. Don't take that quote by itself, take it in the entirety of what Brother Branham says around the message. I I don't want to just let that quote be the only one that said, read what else he says and take the big picture as he's preaching under the anointing. The choosing of a bride, 1965. Now, I'm not much of this modernistic taste of women working. When I seen these women with these uniforms on riding around in the city on motorcycles as police, it's a disgrace to any city that will let a woman do that. See? As many men that's without work, it shows the modern thinking of our city, shows the degrading. We don't have to have them women out there like that. They ain't got no business out there like that. When God gave a man a wife, he gave him the best thing he could give him outside of salvation. But when one goes to trying to take a man's place, then she's about the worst thing that could she he could get a hold of. Now that's right, see. And he was to pass this way in 1957. She's got no business in a defense plant. A woman's place is at home with her children. Now, if her husband's sick and she has to work, that's different. But woman's place is at home in the kitchen, and when she leaves that, she's out of her place. That's exactly right. In teaching on Moses 1956, when I say this with respect, ladies, when a woman gets out of the kitchen, she's out of her place. That's right. That's where she belongs. Outside of that, she has no place. And now I'm not hard on them, but I just tell what's the truth and what the Bible used to be the man was the head of the house, but that was in Bible days. He isn't no more. He's the puppet or the babysitter or something. Now, no, they want to take care of the dogs, practice birth control, and pack the little dog, old dog around in their arms all the time so he can run around all night. I'm not talking about mother, God bless them. That's what holds the nation together now. Halfway is a real good, sacred, God saved mother. That's right. But the ske shame of how degraded that our woman is. I got a piece out of the paper I cut after this last World War number two set that said there where has the morals of the American women gone? That after six months overseas, four out of five soldiers was divorced from their wives, and they had married some other man and couldn't even wait for them to come back from overseas. Soldiers over there dying on the battlefield. That person that does that is not worthy to be called mother, that sacred name. No, it isn't. So I've always been called woman hater, but I'm not. I think a woman is a wonderful thing, and a mother especially, but they should be their places and not take the place of a man and not take the place of God. Questions and answers on Hebrews part three. Put the woman back in the kitchen where she belongs, then everything will be outright will be all right, but you put her out there in public work, she's gone. The American women snicker up their nose and say, There's nothing to that. You show me. Certainly you've got to do it because the Bible predicted you would do it. You have to do it. And here, it used to be a long time ago in a Methodist church, if a woman cut her hair, she was put out of the church. Certainly they did. Yes, indeedy. Nazarene, pilgrim holiness, Pentecostal, all of them used to do it. What happened? You know why? You got some sissies behind the pulpit. That's exactly right. Somebody's afraid of their meal ticket, afraid you'd excommunicate them, run them out of the church. They didn't have the very audacity to stand, stand on God's word, whether it hurt or whether it didn't. That's exactly right. Listen here, the man is the ruler. Don't you think you'll rule the house? You're not ruler of the house. You're absolutely you're not a slave now, but you're a helpmate. In Adam, the man has the rule over his wife, and he's responsibly responsible solely for his wife. God makes the man answer for his wife. Now read and see if God says that now. That's coming from that's coming from Genesis, where when God, when Eve sins, what does God do? Adam, he approaches Adam. So Adam and Eve sin, he doesn't approach Eve first, he approaches Adam first. And so Adam was answering for his headship over his wife. In 1961, an uncertain sound, Brother Branham says, What bus biz what business has a woman got being a policeman, wrestling with drunks and things out there? That ought to be a man's job. If they'd put some of these women back in the kitchen where they belong, men would have more jobs and there'd be more of them. 62, and thy seed shall be possessed the gate of the enemy. God said, Let every word there be a lie and his be true. My wife wears dress, she picks in the garden, she has no trouble about it. And anyhow, woman ain't got no business with a bunch of men out there herding up cattle, anyhow. She had to be in the kitchen where she belonged, that's right. They're just trying to find an excuse. But there's none. God's word is plain, and a woman that's born of the Spirit of God, and a man that's born of the Spirit of God won't let his wife wife act like that. What did he say? She that cuts her hair dishonors her head, and her husband is her head. She's dishonorable. The world is falling apart. 1963. When a woman gets behind from behind the table in the kitchen in the house, taking care of her own little ministry, God give her her babies, she's out of the will of God. So there's been a slow uh degrading of the feminine spirit with the original feminist movement. And so it it once was the norm that a woman was her place was in the home. And of course, we don't argue that women didn't work. You know, we live we live in in even in the post-World War II time where suburbs came into existence and uh over-reliance on grocery stores and someone else providing our food. That you know, the and even the industrial revolution that took place during the Victorian era, you know, this produced drastic changes in how human life most mostly everyone was in subsistence living, and unless they were aristocracy, they grew their own food, they hunted for their own food, and so then mother was your wife was working at home, and you were working near the home or away from the home, and your your whole existence was in uh providing sustenance for your family, and you were directly connected to it. So women absolutely should work, but her place was there close to the home, taking care of the children, uh training the young ladies, how to be young ladies and to be keepers of homes as well. And so we the world has changed drastically, but nevertheless, the scripture puts forth a woman as a keeper of the home, and that her sphere is in the home. And Brother Branham, even as a post-World War II preacher, is making that point very clear. And so feminism has decre degraded and destroyed much of the feminine spirit in the world, and there's been a slow, gradual degrading of the that feminine spirit, starting with the original feminist movement, attacked the foundation of society, that the female was designed to be under the headship and protection of the male. The first feminist framed it that a woman was the property of the man and that she that must change. And once that changes, women should have the right to vote. But once you did that, then you opened up the house and you took you you took man and woman who were once one and you made them two. Now they're two, they each got their own vite vote, they each got their own job, they each got the got their own money, etc. etc. So you women getting the vote was destroying the family. And so women gets the vote, and this begins the degradation of Western society. Now you have then you get the fight for equal rights, free sexual expression, you have the fight to erase all gender roles whatsoever. That's been the degrading of our society and our world as a whole, and our nation has ceased to follow Christian values long time ago, and now is the champion of anti-Christian values. It sets up a whole society built upon the foundation of destroying God's order. And Brother Branham told us in the Laodican Church age, the fifth vision had to do with the moral problem of our age, centering mostly around women. God showed me that women began to be out of their place with the granting of the vote. They cut off their hair, which signified that they were no longer under the authority of a man, but insisted on either equal rights, or in most cases, more than equal rights. She adopted men's clothing and went into a state of undress. Until the last picture I saw was a woman, this is his vision, was a woman naked except for a little fig leaf type apron. And with this vision I saw the terrible perversion and moral plight of the whole world. In an argument against women's suffrage, 1911, JB Sanford, chairman of the Democratic Caucus, says suffrage is not a right. It is a privilege that may or may not be granted. Politics is no place for women, consequently, the privilege should not be granted to her. The mother's influence is needed in the home. She can do little good by gatting the streets and neglecting her children. Let her teach her daughters that modesty, patience, and gentleness are the charms of a woman. Let her teach her sons that an honest conscience is every man's first political law, that no splendor can rob him, nor no force justify the surrender of the simplest right of a free and independent citizen. The mothers of this country can shape the destinies of the nation by keeping in their places and attending those duties that God Almighty intended for them. The kindly, gentle influence of the mother in the home and the dignified influence of the teacher in the school will far outweigh all the influence of the mannish female politicians on earth. The courageous, chivalrous, and manly men and the womenly women, the real mothers and home builders of the country, are opposed to this innovation in American political life. There was a bill before the last legislature which proposed to leave the equal suffrage question to women to decide first before the men should vote on it. This bill was defeated by the suffragettes because they knew that the women would vote down the amendment by a vote of ten to one. The men are able to run the government. Women have to vote in order to receive the protection of man. Why? Men have gone to war, endured every privation and death itself in defense of woman. To man, woman is the dearest creature on earth, and there's no extreme to which he would not go for his mother or sister. By keeping woman in her exalted position, man can be induced to do more for her than he could by having her mix up in affairs that will cause him to lose respect and regard for her. Woman does not have to vote to secure her rights. Man will go to any extreme to protect and elevate her now. As long as woman is woman and keeps her place, she will get more protection and more consideration than man gets. When she abdicates her throne, she throws down the scepter of her power and loses her influence. Woman suffrage has been proven a failure in states that have tried it. It's wrong. California should profit by the mistakes of other states. Not one reform has equal suffrage affected. On the contrary, statistics go to show that. that in most equal suffrage states, Colorado particularly, that divorces have greatly increased since the adoption of the Equal Suffrage Amendment, showing that it has been a home destroyer. Crime has also increased due to the lack of mothers in the home. Woman is woman. She cannot unsex herself or change her sphere. Let her be content with her lot and perform those high duties intended for her by the great creator, and she will accomplish far more in governmental affairs than she can ever accomplish by mixing up in the dirty pool of politics. Keep the home pure and all will be well with the Republic. Let not the sanctity of the home be invaded by every little politician that may be running up and down the highway for office. Let the manly men and the womanly women defeat this amendment and keep the woman where she belongs in order that she may retain the respect of all mankind. JB Sanford, Senator Fourth District. We know that America paid no attention to this exhortation and decided that they would go ahead and grant women the right to vote. Now she has the right to vote. She has the right to work outside the home she's got the right to wear bikini or yoga pants she's got a right to go to the health club and work out right next to a man enticing him with spandex and the the the the positions that she puts her body in it's it's a disgrace. She's got a right to cut her hair she's got a right to wear makeup she's got a right to go to the same schools as a man. It used to be men swam in a different place than a woman and now we have mixed bathing anywhere. Used to be that a young unmarried woman could not be in the presence of a young man without a chaperone. Used to be that we protected our girls and women used to be where a man knew it was his job to protect his wife and daughters and a woman knew it was her job to take care of her husband and her family and sons in the family knew it was their job to watch over their sisters. But now all respect and honor modesty and wisdom of the ages past has been thrown away and as a result we have a pornographic violent dishonorable dangerous and evil culture. That's where we've come to now and this was all started by granting women the vote and this should be if we want to fix politics this will be the first thing that we need to overturn is women getting the vote and the next thing is to overturn is that we need to make sure that only property owners have the right to vote. These two things would change everything in our society. You think they'll ever do it no Exodus 21 10 shows us that man has a duty to provide food, raiment and the duty of marriage to his wife the duty of marriage speaks of the cohabitation or the conjugal rights. When neglect of these obligations takes place this creates a situation where wives will become resentful of their husbands. So now we're going to kind of transition from society to the home. And so wives become resentful of their husbands and in that resentment will likely emotionally check out of the marriage or they will become his worst nightmare. So it's a sin for men to neglect their wives. They ought not to neglect the needs of their wives but it's also a sin in women to resent and nag their husbands. So let's begin to look at remember the characteristics of a godly woman would be that she has a meek and quiet spirit. Meek speaks of being easily led Proverbs 12 for a virtuous woman is a crown to her husband but she that maketh ashamed is as rotten as in his bones so a virtuous woman who is one she follows the order of the family she obeys her husband she submits to him she knows that she's the keeper of the home and she's keeping she's doing everything she can to keep that home under godliness and God has laid out a scriptural scriptural principles and she's walking in obedience to God and to her husband she's fulfilling her duties that God has assigned to her as a wife and mother and to keep her at home with the fruit of the Spirit while she's keeping the three sacred trusts in order. So that woman is a crown to a godly man a sexy dressed woman not a sexually attractive woman but a woman of high godly character that's doing everything she can to walk with the Lord and relate to her husband scripturally but an immodest woman that's loud, rude, works in someone else's office and says I'd rather my husband obey me that's rottenness in his bones Proverbs 1822 says this Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord a sign of God's favor on a man's life is when he has found a godly wife a godly man would seek to find a godly wife that would complete his vision of what he wants a home to be a young lady that fulfills those three sacred trusts and understands her position in the family and in the home Proverbs 1913 a foolish son is the calamity of his father and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping a continual dropping it's just like a water dripping from a leaky roof just dropping on your head it's in other words it's it's an annoyance it's a frustration the contentions so a contentious wife is like it's a form of torture water torture. They would just slowly drip water on your forehead and become a torture. Proverbs 1914 house and riches are in the herit are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the Lord. So a wife who continually undermines her husband doesn't honor his authority treats him like a child by scolding him and seeks to control him is referred to as a house that is in disrepair a roof that is leaking water on your head constantly on a rainy day it's off it's it's awful it's awful Ecclesiastes nine verse nine live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of thy van of thy vanity which he hath given thee under the sun all the days of thy vanity for that is thy portion in this life and in thy labor which thou takest under the sun so a godly wife is a source of joy to a man. So you know as a as a woman listed to this are you a source of joy to your husband or are you rottenness in his bones and a continually dropping on his head in other words you know part of part of the joy of a woman who's has that nature of a meek and quiet spirit who's obedient she understand that she understand that she creates a an atmosphere in the home for her husband to come home to so does she create an atmosphere of peace for her husband to come home to or does she create an atmosphere of chaos and torture for him to come home to because if she creates an atmosphere of chaos and a torture to him where minute he comes into the house she starts nagging him and starts haranguing him and upsetting him she's not a source of peace. She's not a source of joy to him she's a continual dropping as the scripture says and so let your relationship be one where joy is present God gave you this wife rejoice in her so that she can rejoice in you whatever you give to her she'll multiply back. So if you give joy if you give time if you give provisions etc she'll multiply it too if you give her neglect she's going to multiply frustration back to you. So many times as you look at this the husband it's a sin in husband to neglect his wife and it's a sin in a wife to nag and verbally abuse and harangue her husband or or to the minute he gets home to make his life a living hell is also a sin for a wife. Proverbs 711 says she is loud and stubborn her feet abide not in her house so again this is the opposite of meek and quiet. So meek means easily led and quiet speaks of you know a demeanor of peace a demeanor of not not being loud and boisterous so here we have loud and stubborn and quiet and meek. So the opposite of loud is quiet the opposite of stubborn is meek and it says her feet abide not in her house she's always running from place to place finding trying to find satisfaction outside of her home and so we look at this big picture God has made woman to be the help meet she is she's to be a helper she is to be subject she is to be obedient to her husband and to her father she's to understand that her husband and her father are the decision making head authority in her life and she's to live in in a chaste godly way not expos you know dressing modestly not cutting her hair not wearing makeup not being ostentatious outwardly not wearing clothes that pertain to a man and so you know modest meek quiet a keeper at home a source of compassion and tenderness and love so that the atmosphere that she creates for her husband and her children in her home and of course the husband can't just look at this and point his finger at his wife he needs to provide the security for her that she can uh multiply the peace and multiply the joy and multiply the the rest you know she she should uh make it her home a rest a place of peace and and joy and rest for spiritually speaking naturally speaking for her family of course there's work to do and there's things to be done and the children should should help around the house and in the in the places where there's a need father should step up and step into those places that he can assist around the house after he's fulfilled his duties as a provider but restoring womanhood is a great thing I you know for me myself personally I think of my mother who's passed on to glory I think of my wife I think of my daughters and I think you know of the most precious things to me in the world those were you know the their honor should be protected and and guarded by me all my efforts in life are to to create a a place where my my wife and my daughters are provided for and they're safe and they're they're happy and they're being aimed towards godliness that I'm leading them in that direction. And so it's not to be a place where they feel oppressed and pushed down and that there's no fun, no joy no that's not the home that I want them to have I want them to be able to fulfill all that God has called them to in their lives as as as a mother as a wife and as potential wife why wives and mothers for my three daughters. And so that's a to me that's a great treasure I want to see daughters that have a meek and quiet spirit and again this is these are women of faith not women of fearfulness or or weakness it's not weakness it's a spiritual strength. Proverbs 31 speaks plainly about this that she's she's a hard worker in her home she takes thinks ahead takes thought provides for the needs of the seasons of life and that she teaches and instructs her sons and daughters and that she is a crown to her husband crown of glory to her husband and she's not rottenness to his bones but she is a great blessing strengthening and the home that she allow she brings her that her husband comes into as a place of enjoyment and peace.
