Acts 21:7 And when we had finished
our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. 8 On the next
day we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was
one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now
this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his
own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver
him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”
In 2000 I was driving in the desert between Arizona and California and God spoke to me and said, "I am giving you the office of teacher." From then on I started to write down what the Lord was giving me - insights or personal revelation of the true meaning of Scripture. I still do to this day. I have one book published and am in the process of dividing what I've written since into two new books. There have been men on the forums who tell me I'm sinning because I am attempting to teach them as a woman. I don't want to sin EVER, so in tears I asked God why He gave me the office of teacher when Paul wrote those scriptures about women, because if God said it was a sin, I would certainly stop. But instead, He said, "I never said that to him." And further revelation. The personal letter to Timothy was his "opinion" based on his Jewish roots which were still present in his day, and verses 34 and 35 were additions to Scripture at a later date after Paul was dead. The original was:
29 Let two or
three prophets speak, and let the others judge. 30 But if
anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And the spirits of the
prophets are subject to the
prophets. 33 For God is not
the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 36 Or did the word of God come
originally from you? Or
was it you only that it reached? 37 If anyone thinks himself to be a
prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
