"Set free from a religious spirit brings life and fulfillment"

                          "Part 2 Second class citizens"

There is an element that will pull not only those out of second class status, but will ignite them in their callings.That element is releasing. Even though John the Baptist was the forerunner of Christ, God through the power of the Holy Spirit had no reservations having the Christ child born through the Virgin Mary. Was it not the woman who were the forerunners of the disciples leading the way to the tomb first? Were there not women surrounding Jesus during His ministry, crucifixion, death and resurrection? Was this just to support Him or was this an example of how the woman of His church are to be embraced and released. Just as Jesus was being an example of a Shepard to His future Apostles He was endorsing also that women can walk in leadership and even have pastoral callings. Paul in Romans 16:1 commends Phoebe and honors her as a servant to the church. What do I believe the Spirit is saying to the church? "we need to accept and honor one another and abolish second class status." The church needs to be set free from their religious bondage. Hearts transformed and eyes opened to all that the women are called to. Honoring and releasing them to their gifts and ministry. When the righteous increase the people rejoice. God is all about increase. He wants you to increase in your calling and gift. He wants the church to increase beyond its present growth. His anointing will flow to those who want to increase. He will pour fresh oil on the tiered and weary bringing fulfillment even to the older women who have felt barren of calling. For the Spirit would say "you will experience the pains of birth, but the joy as you are released bring forth the calling as many children will surround you. For you will come up out of your present place and experience a fresh outpouring. Your latter days will be greater then the former.
