The writings bear witness...........................



Psalm 84:11




For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give H5414 grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.







THE WOMAN AS LIFE-GIVER




It has been said that the pressure exerted on a woman’s body during delivery would kill a man. Apparently, the pressure is so heavy that a male’s body could not physically hold up under it. This phenomenon sheds new meaning on the verse, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:14). When Yah created woman to be able to carry a baby to term and to deliver that baby, he gave her extraordinary capabilities. He built her so that she could do what He had designed her to do. The woman was designed to be able to gestate- to conceive, carry a baby to term, and bring forth this new life into the world. Now, as we will see, Yah’s design for the woman as a life-giver goes beyond her physical abilities. It permeates her entire makeup as a female. Therefore, the third aspect of the female’s dominion role is that she is meant to conceive, develop, and give new life to or “incubate” what she receives into herself.




The Naming of the Woman




After the Fall, but before the man and woman were banished from the Garden, the man gave the woman a name. “Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become” (Genesis 3:20). The name Eve in the Hebrew is Chavvah, and it means “life-giver.” It is significant that Yah did not cause the man and the woman to leave the Garden before Eve was named. As was mentioned earlier, her ability to bear children, her role of life-giver, was part of Yah’s original design and is not a result of the Fall in any way.




The woman is essentially a life-giver. She was given the ability to receive the seed of the male and to reproduce after their kind. This is an awesome capability. Yah gave the female a powerful responsibility in the world.




The Woman Focuses Her Entire Being on Creating Life




The woman has physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual “wombs.”




During physical pregnancy, the woman’s body undergoes a complete transformation: the lining of her womb thickens in order to create an environment for the new life to develop while it is kept protected, safe, and warm; her hormone levels change to prevent miscarriage; her brain chemistry alters; her nutrients are directed to go first to her unborn baby, and many other changes occur. Pregnancy is a remarkable process that shifts the focus and efforts of the woman’s entire body to the task of developing the new life within her womb.




The Woman Is an “Incubator” by Nature




Yet the woman’s dominion role of life-giver is not limited to carrying and delivering a human child. We could call her an “incubator,” because her very nature reflects her inclination to develop and give new life to things. This purpose for the woman is not surprising, because there is often a reflection of the spiritual in the physical world, as Paul told us in Romans 1.




Since Yah created the woman’s gestational ability as an integral part of her nature, this ability permeates all areas of her life. She has a physical womb, but she also has an emotional “womb,” a mental and instinctual “womb,” and a spiritual “womb.” She brings forth life in all these areas of her makeup. Everything about her is a womb. She receives things into herself, nurtures them until they mature, and then gives them back in fully developed form.




For example, a sperm isn’t much use without an egg. An egg uniting with a sperm is what creates human life, and the resulting embryo’s cells begin to multiply when it is in the nurturing environment of the womb. What started as a sperm and egg ends up a fully formed human baby. The fetus has developed so that it now has a life of its own. Similarly, the woman takes from the people and the environments around her- especially her husband, if she is married- and creates something entirely new with what she takes in. Many women don’t even know that they are blessed with such an awesome purpose.




Everything goes back to the purpose and design of Yah. The woman’s nature is to be a receiver, and that is why she can receive the seed of the man in order to create a new human life. Yet it is not only a matter of receiving, but also of being able to transform what she has received in a remarkable way, that makes her an incubator. A womb will never give back to you just what it has received. It will always take what you have given it and multiply it.




Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply.




When a woman receives an idea and incubates it, it becomes something greater- something bigger, stronger, more dynamic. There’s so much to it that she staggers with the weight of it. Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to to multiply. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll make you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiples and enlarges what is given to her.




Therefore, if you want to develop anything, bring it to a woman. Do you have the beginnings of an idea or a prayer request? Tell a woman. Most men will tell their ideas to anyone but their wives. Do you have an idea for a business? Tell a woman. When she comes back to you with it, she will say, “Here’s your business.” She will have the plan and how to go about it , even from whom to get the money. And the plan will work.




The Creative Processes of Incubation




What exactly do I mean by incubation apart from actual physical gestation? I mean that the woman is gifted with many creative abilities that can assist her loved ones, herself, and the world. A woman incubates in these main ways:





She sees possibilities and potential


She ponders words, actions, and relationships between things.


She processes words, ideas, needs, and problems.


She conceives and invents.


She develops ideas, plans, and programs.


She protects what she has received while it develops.


She produces something new from what she receives.


She multiplies what she is given.




You could say that the woman is an entire research and development department all in one. In this, she reflects the nature of her Creator who “gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were” (Romans 4:17). Just as Yah created man out of Himself, a woman brings forth new life from within herself.




This gift of being an incubator has two sides to it, however, It can have a destructive side as well as a creative side, when what the woman receives into herself is not healthy for her emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually. We have seen that because the woman is a receiver, she adapts to or reflects the attitudes and actions of those around her. She takes them in and processes them in a way that can be a mystery to a man, who sees life in a more cut-and-dry way.




The Womb of the Emotions




Whatever you have been giving a female, you will receive back- in a different form.




For example, many men display domineering or antagonistic attitudes towards the women in their lives overlong periods of time. A woman can be pregnant with the bitterness that a man has been presenting her for years. At some point, her long suffering will come to an end and she will be full-term. The woman has received this bitterness. She has been very quiet for years while she has carried her painful baby, so that he doesn’t understand when she suddenly delivers it. She might say, “That’s it! I’ve had it. I want you to leave.” The man will say, “What happened? I’ve been doing just what I have been doing for the last ten years.” “Well, that’s it; the baby’s come. Get out. Take your clothes, everything, and get out of my house.” He wonders what has gotten into her, but the baby has been in her for a long time, growing and developing.




For years, I have been teaching men to be careful what they feed women, because it will come back to them- and in a new stronger form. Whatever you have been giving a female, you will receive back. It will have grown and developed into something you didn’t expect. “Here, this is what you gave me,” she’ll say. “This is the result of what you presented me.” Often, the attitude of a woman is really the “baby” that has resulted from what the man has been giving her.




Suppose a man tells his wife during a heated argument, “I wish I had never married you!” The woman becomes angry when she hears it, but she locks herself into her emotional room. The man may have said a thousand words to her during the argument, but just that one sentence went into her heart, penetrating it just as the single sperm out of millions penetrates the egg at conception. Do you know what she does with it? She incubates it. Nine years later, he says to her, “Honey, you’re the sweetest thing I ever married.” She says, “You didn’t think so nine years ago.” The woman is still carrying the baby.




Now, men take care of the business at hand, and then they forget about things. So, he answers, “What are you talking about?” Yet she remembers the date, the time, the atmospheric conditions, what was there, who was there, what color dress she was wearing, and what kind of ice cream she was eating. She incubates things.




A man is different because he doesn’t have any wombs. If you say to a man, “You’re ugly,” he’ll say, “You’re ugly, too,” and then he will forget the incident. However, if you tell a woman that, she’ll remember it forever.




Single men have to be careful what they say to single women. If a man says to a woman, “Hey beautiful, you look great,” he is probably going to have a baby in a little while. I’m not talking about a physical baby. He will conceive an emotional baby. The woman will tell him, “You told me you loved me.” He’ll say, “I was only joking.” “Joking!”




A woman will incubate your words, so you have to guard what you say.




If a man knows that a woman is an incubator, then he can be careful about what he says to her. Suppose a husband tells his wife that he notices she’s put on a few pounds. To him, it’s just a casual statement, but it becomes something that the woman incubates. All of a sudden he sees her getting up early and jogging when she never jogged before. He wonders what brought this on, but it is because she has conceived his comment. Every time he mentions it, she becomes more and more under pressure from the thing. Then she begins to become insecure. She starts to feel as if he is looking at other women and comparing them to her. This builds internally until one day she hears him say something nice about other women. Then, get out of the way, because here comes the baby!




This principle does not only apply to the relationships between husbands and wives or even men and women in general. Women have to be careful what they say to other women, as well as women to their daughters. A woman can harm another woman by the words she speaks. A woman may tell her friend, “Your hair looks a little different today.” She just makes a slight comment about the woman’s hair, without any intended implication. Yet that isn't the end of the comment. The friend takes that statement home and incubates it, builds it up, and develops it. A couple weeks later, the friend gives the woman a piece of her mind. We have to be careful what we say to each other.




A woman forgets nothing. Remember the verse we looked at earlier? “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb?” (Isaiah 49:15). A man might even forget he had a son, but a woman can be ninety years old and still say about her seventy year old son, “That’s my baby.” She carried him, she gestated him, and, in a sense, she’s still gestating him. She still thinks of ways to help him; she still worries about him.




The Womb of the Mind or Instinct




Yah never intended a male to live in isolation. It was never His idea for this to happen because Yah is love, and, by nature, love desires to share. There are some selfish men in the world who don’t want to get married simply because they don’t want to have to share their money with anyone. When some married men get paid, they hang onto their paychecks very tightly. They always think a woman is after their money. There may be some truth to this. However, the reason why she is after it is that she is wired to receive. The reason why she is wired to receive is that, if the man keeps his money to himself, it will not multiply. A female is an incubator. She will never give you back just what you gave her, but above and beyond that.




A woman can be ninety years old and still say about her seventy year old son, “That’s my baby.”




If you give a woman twenty dollars and say, “Sweetheart, I trust you. Please go ahead and invest this in whatever way you think you should.” When you look at that twenty dollars again, it will be two hundred dollars, then two thousand dollars, then twenty thousand dollars. Yahusha gave His bride eleven apostles, plus the apostle Paul. She’s still multiplying what He gave her. She’s not going to give Him back just twelve men. She’s going to bring Him millions of men, women, and children. The true believers are taking the seed of the Word and causing it to multiply into millions of souls so that she can present them to Yah. Yah is not going to get back just what He gave. He’s going to get more, because He gave it to a woman called the church. The woman is like the servant in the parable of the talents who dubbed the investment with which his master had entrusted him.




Men need to understand that a woman’s nature can be a great blessing to them.




The Womb of the Spirit




Why is it that few men attend prayer meetings? If you go to a prayer meeting, you will find that it is mainly attended by women. I noticed this for myself and started to wonder about it. Then I realized, “It is because women are incubators. If they are presented with an idea, a need, or problem, they will take it to heart and will work through it until they arrive at a solution.




Just as a womb nourishes a fetus during development and an incubator protects premature or sick babies, a woman has a nurturing instinct that can be a powerful source of help and encouragement in the lives of others.




If a man wants something prayed about, he should tell a woman. She’ll take the circumstance into her spiritual womb, where she meets with Yah in her inner being, incubates it for months, if necessary, and bring forth a solution. She won’t give up until she receives an answer from Yah.




Yahusha didn’t say that it was a man who kept knocking at the judge’s door in order to obtain justice. (See Luke 18:2-8.) It wasn’t a man who persisted with The Most High Yahusha for a healing for her daughter, saying “Yes, Most High… but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table” (Matthew 15:27). The woman is an incubator. She doesn’t quit until she’s a full nine months’ pregnant and ready to deliver.




Do you know to whom Yah first gave the resurrection message? Women. Do you know why He didn’t give it to the males at first? They forget too much. He waited until the women arrived. When Mary showed up, He said, “I want to talk to an incubator. I want someone who can take this and never stop talking about it.” It was the women who went and told the men. Why? It was because the men had locked themselves in their room. But the women had gone back to the tomb.




If you give a woman at a well a message, she will turn into an evangelistic crusade team. (See John 4:4-30.)




The Woman Gives Life to Things




A woman was made to give life. This means that if you need some life in your life, get a life-giver. Some men today are walking around trying to be self-reliant, keeping women at arm’s length. They don’t know the life they are missing.




Yah wants to set you free to develop the gifts He has placed within you.




Yah made the female to be the life-giver, so that whenever you need to give like to something, she can do it. Have you ever been in the apartment of a man who is living by himself? The colors are drab. Everything is out of place. It looks horrible. People tell him, “You need a woman’s touch.” When the man gets married and his wife moves in, she changes the drab look. She puts up colorful curtains, places flowers around the rooms, puts pictures on the walls, rearranges the furniture, and in no time, makes it into a beautiful place. When a woman walks into a room, she changes the countenance of that room. She gives life to a place.




Many women have gifts of incubation but have been so beaten down by life and the hurtful remarks of others that they have rarely used them. They have been told by men and other women that they have nothing to contribute. If this is your situation, I believe that Yah wants to set you free to develop the gifts He has placed within you and the ideas and visions He will give you. Don’t be afraid. Yah has given you tremendous ability, and you can be a blessing to many as you reflect the nature of your own Creator and Life-Giver.




The last three teachings have explored the woman’s purposes in dominion as enhancer, reflector, and life-giver. A female is a unique product of Yah. Men (and women) must understand her value and contributions, and affirm her in the purposes, designs, and roles for which Yah created her. In this way, male and female can together become the true reflection of their Creator they were meant to be.
