HIS RIGHTS, HER RIGHTS

Gender is another thing that people believe determines who they are. Many men believe women are inferior. Many women believe that all men are dogs. You can’t judge a person’s life by their sex. That’s not how God created us.

“Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.” Genesis 2:18 AMP

God didn’t create a woman to be of a lower class or rank. He made a woman to be comparable and suitable for man. A woman is a helper that is fit for man. The Holy Spirit is a Helper. The Holy Spirit is a Comforter. A woman has a role that’s similar to the Holy Spirit. She is able to help and assist the man. She is able to comfort and fill the man.

“God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26 AMP

God made mankind, both male and female, in His image and likeness. God gave both the male and female authority and dominion. Therefore, a woman can exercise the same authority as a man. Women were not created for men to beat on them and make them feel that they have little or no quality. Women are created to help the man and walk side by side with him operating under God’s authority.
