The Warfare of the Wife

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed... Genesis 3:15

There is one thing we tend to forget as women, and that is the power we possess as women...not because we are simply women, but because we are anointed women of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and power. All of us have witnessed the madness of carnal women on shows like, "Jerry Springer" and the like, where the women get raw in their man's face and call him anything and everything she feels like spewing out of her mouth about him for all of t.v. land to hear and see. These women often get into screaming matches with the man, losing all dignity as a woman. But instead of being ashamed, she prides herself for being able to spew out as much venom as he can and is proud to display this behavior in front of millions of people, screaming, "I am woman, hear me roar." But that is not true power.

True power in a woman is displayed by her femininity and grace in the knowledge she possesses in her relationship with God. She is a powerhouse of wisdom, love, kindness, strength, gentleness and inner beauty; knowing when to speak and when not to speak. She understands the true power she possesses in God and often restrains herself because she knows she is a vessel of inner strength, possessing the anointing to bind and loose. She walks in holiness and understands the weapons of her warfare is not carnal and is not made of steel, but mighty in God, to the pulling down strongholds, (issues with her husband) and imaginations (thoughts that are sent by the enemy to disrupt her walk), that exalt itself against the knowledge of God. She knows she is bad to the bone because she realizes that she does not wrestle with flesh and blood, but against evil principalities (she operates in the gift of discernment and recognizes the enemy) attempting to disrupt her marriage and home. It is natural for her to detect him in the spirit and because of God's declaration, there will always be enmity between the powers of darkness and women. It was declared by God in the Garden that there will be contempt between Satan and the woman and these two will not get along.

A saved wife can see the enemy... everywhere he tries to hide. She has spiritual revelation of his presence and what is coming against her and her home, she is able to discern what spirit is attempting to attach itself to her spouse. Through prayer she wars against that which is warring against her family. It is time for the mature women to arise and take your kingdom position to remove every hindrance through the power of the Holy Spirit who resides in you, to bind and loose in your mountain of family.
