UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE AND POWER OF WOMAN

Are y'all excited this afternoon? It's going to be a rough afternoon! We are going to have fun this afternoon! Any men here on live, they're going to wish they weren't here. This is an important session to really detail why a woman and a man are different and how they are different. For example a woman never tells you what she's thinking. She tells you what she is feeling. A man doesn't tell you what he's feeling. He only tells you what he's thinking. That's why they are always arguing because they think they're listening to hear each other. So when a woman says to you get out, don't come back! Don't leave! Don't pack your bags, that's just the way she feels at the moment. You leave, she'll kill you! When a man says, “woman you stupid,” it doesn't mean that's what he feels about you. That's what he calculated and he analyzed for the moment at the present condition that you seem to be acting a little stupid. So he doesn't mean that you are a stupid creature. He's analytically assessing your present state. Why? Because a woman is emotional but a man is logical. They're different. So a man calculates a woman in modes. It’s important to know the difference. Women are strange and men are weird. Get your Bibles and your notebooks and let's go to work! I want you to write fast and write well so you can understand your own writing. I want to talk about this topic, the power of women. The power of women. This statement is still not understood properly by women or by men. We're going to be focusing on understanding the nature and the assignment of the female. I want to begin with a few statements which have to do with the challenge of the 21st century woman. It's tough to be a woman today. It’s very difficult to be a woman, a female. It's even more difficult to be a male and that's why most males want to be women. You'll understand that in a little while. Why is it so difficult to be a female today? Let's take a look at a couple of thoughts. I believe that the most difficult challenge that a female faces today is the fact that she is living in a world designed for men. This goes all the way back I think 50 to 60 years when this really hit at the height, when James Brown the famous singer wrote a song, this is a man's world. That song captured the attitude that most men had toward women. Matter of fact, one of the common statements they made was, “know your place.” Do you remember that? And sometimes they told you where your place was. Where was that? In the kitchen and in the bedroom. In other words, there was such a graphic negative attitude toward women by men that even when men had company over they told their wives to leave the room. And this was in the Western world. We’re not talking about the East who has it even worse. So the spirit of a woman being caught up in this world that men created place women in a very difficult position. Most of you women are still trying to survive and to emerge from that, still struggling with that. A lot of men are having crises right now because men don't know what to do with the new woman because the world is no longer a man's world. It has changed since World War Two. It's very important to understand that ladies. Secondly, the 21st century woman is pressed on every side to be everything, to everyone, all the time. It's tough to be a woman. Actually today they want you to be a man and a woman at the same time. They want you to work and also be a home keeper. They want you to have babies and raise them and then pay their tuition too. I mean it's incredible. A woman has so much pressure. Difficult. Thirdly, the average woman is confused and insecure about her purpose and role in life. That's a real problem because some women are not sure what it is to be a woman anymore. That’s why many of them are experimenting. What does it mean to be a woman today? Now I must also balance this by saying, it's worse for the men because the men are in such a crisis. Men are your greatest problem. Because the men don't know what to do either. They're not sure what it is to be a man anymore. The average man in this country and in the whole Western world is struggling with his true manhood. He doesn't know what it is to be a man. You remember about 40 years ago it was very easy to be a man. 60 years ago it was automatic to be a man because the roles were very clear. He goes to work, you keep the house, you have the babies, he buys the food. I mean it was very clear and that's why your grandmother didn't have a divorce. There were no divorces back then because their roles were very clear. Everyone knew where their place was. The man’s place was out working. Woman's was home keeping home. The man bought the home, the woman cleaned it and kept it. The man bought the food, the woman cooked it and served it. It was very simple. Matter of fact, most women and men at that time didn't have a problem with one another because there was no competition and no contention. The man knew where the woman was all the time. She was home and she knew where he was, he was out labouring. Matter of fact, it was so tough to survive 60 years ago that everybody had to keep their rules clear. It was simple to be married and to love one another. As a matter of fact your grandmother and grandfather did not really express love the way you express love today because they didn’t have any time to do it. He was busy working 10 to 12 hours a day, by time he came home all he wanted was food, sex and bed. I call him the caveman. You know all a caveman does is grunt. Then sex grunt, boom, finish, then sleep. And you know the woman back then didn't complain. Why? She understood. He worked all day he’s tired, she had his food ready, she fed him, had sex, went to bed, he's happy. Next morning he goes back out in the forest, into the jungle of life and works for her and takes care of the kids. So she actually respected him because he did that. He worked hard and she was respected by him because he knew she took care of the kids and the home and everything. So they respected one another. There was a higher respect for each other. Their love was based on their roles. She loved him because he worked so hard to keep the family together. He loved her because she took care of the home and took care of the kids and he appreciated her cleaning his clothes and there was this mutual respect. Then something happened. World War two came. World War two changed the world in ways we have not calculated yet. Remember World War two came, the Western world got involved in the war and hundreds of thousands of men in America went to Europe to fight and what happened? The men used to work in the factories but now when the men are gone, the factories were kind of quiet and so the women were asked to make bullets and instead of sewing, they had to learn to make tanks. And if you study the history of America that's when women began to leave the home to go out and work for the war machinery. Are you listening carefully? So the men are in the battlefield, they left home, the women now have to go and make the bullets for the men to use in the guns. So women began to leave the home because of the displacement of men. What happened after the war was finished in 1945 the men came back home and there's no one home. Where is she? She's in the factory. Guess who’s job that used to be. His job. So now he comes back with two problems. One, the home is empty and two, she has his job. Problem: she's now earning revenue. So now we have three problems because he used to provide everything. That's why she respected him. Now she's making more than he's making, so the respect has dropped. Thirdly, they used to need each other. That's why our grandmother and grandfather never got a divorce they needed each other. Matter of fact, if she didn't mention leaving his question would have been, where are you going? She had no money, she had no support. So that's why she stayed. That's why many times 60 years ago a woman may be abused by a man but never leave. She had nowhere to go. There was no other support so she stayed, she made the marriage work, he made the marriage work. But now we have a new equation. We have women out working now. We have men displaced and they're not sure what to do. Back then a man's manhood was measured by simple things like, he builds the house for her, he earns the food, he brings home the beef, he pays the utilities, he takes care of you and the kids as far as their maintenance, and he protects the family. It was clear that's what a man does. She was very clear what she did. She kept the house clean, she kept the kids in order, she cooked the food, and she took the money and distributed it properly. But now here comes a new equation. He comes home and today it is still being felt. He doesn't know what it is to be a man anymore. Women, it's not your fault. It's what happened to our social structure. So we have men today, since World War Two, that doesn’t know how to be a man. Now your grandfather told you if you want to be a man, put your foot down in your house. Your answer is it’s not my house. Some of you will get it later. See, when a woman meets a guy today he's in trouble, right? First of all she owns her own house already, she got her BMW, she got money in the bank, she looks fine, she has a refrigerator with food in it and then she says I want you to be my man and the guy goes okay, so how do I be that? And she says take care of me, he said okay I'll buy your house, she says I got that. He says, I’ll buy you a car, she says I got that, he says I will get you some money, she says I got too much of that, he says I'll buy you some food, she says I got that. So how do I be a man? She says, I don't know, just be a man. See the problem? So he's frustrated. So what does he do? The only thing that he has left that you don't have is his strength. So the result is domestic abuse. That's the one thing he could always say he could give you that. It’s very serious. He physically abuses you and that's why domestic violence is so high because we have a male in crisis, who is frustrated at a misunderstanding what manhood means. Because you see, in the past womanhood and manhood was measured by the roles that they played but now the roles are gone. 40 years ago the man bought home the beef, today the woman owns the cow. Am I right? What do you do when the woman makes more money than you? Men fall apart, they don’t know what to do with that. They feel how am I supposed to feel like a man if you make more money than me and he feels this this crisis inside and that's why it's important for you to come to learn not only that, that is happening but what do you do about that, and whether the way we measured womanhood and manhood is the way it should have been measured. Let me just say this very quickly too, that nowhere in the bible does The Most High Yah ever tell a woman to cook. It's not in Scripture. In other words, matter of fact, here's a surprise in the Bible. If you study the Bible carefully the man cooked. Matter of fact, if you want to marry a good man, first question, can you cook? Very important. Do you remember when Isaac was about to die? This guy's on a deathbed. Issac was married but he said look I don't want you to cook baby, I want your son to cook. It was the men that cooked. I would tell men if you really want to follow Yahusha you have to learn to cook. They look at me strange. I said well let's study it. Yahusha was a cook. Do you remember that the disciples went out fishing after resurrection. It says he cooked fish and bread on the shore for them and fed them when they came in. See, he cooked boiled fish and johnnycake! Real men cook. What I'm trying to get you to understand is that the roles are being confused with the purpose. A woman is not a woman because she cooked. It's another way to identify your womanhood. A man is not a man because he brings home money. Matter of fact, if you study the scriptures carefully again, this is very weird for somebody to understand, but in the East they still do this. The men actually stay in the tent and the women go and take the sheep and goats out. It's reversed. The men stay home in the Middle East, the women go out and become shepherds. It is very rare to have real men as shepherds. Some of you think that men are always shepherds, not necessarily. Most of those cultures, the women are the ones that go out and watch the Sheep because the men stay at home in the tent to protect the treasures of the tent. So historically speaking, the man's place was in the home. It's getting quiet in here. That's why you're here because I want you to understand that staying home doesn't make you a woman. That is still a role. You see, you're confusing the role with your inherent purpose and that's why we're here this afternoon. I want to show you from the Bible what the purpose of a woman is. It is going to blow your mind. You are an awesome creature. First of all, the female controversy is a big one and that is the role, the position, the rights, the privileges, the expectation, and the relationship of the female in our society is our biggest argument. How much power should a woman have? Should a woman be a leader? Can a woman lead? Should a woman be the head or not of a home? Can women lead a company? Should a woman be a preacher? Should a woman be a pastor? All these confusing questions people have about women and mostly it's men who have those problems with women. Some societies have even gone to the extreme could they perceive women as personal property. The Middle East is still this way. It's as if they own women as property. Women are seen as domestic slaves. They actually see women as simply being born to take care of their needs. Some see women as chattel and this is still real. They sell women on the block in many cultures. Women are also seen as simply objects of sexual gratification. Many men see women as something to conquer. They don't respect this beautiful creature. They see a sex object. Then we see the attitude of women as personal servants. Do this, get that, fix that, iron that, cook that, just like slaves. Then we have men who think that women are inferior to them. You could never be as smart as me, they say. Men are more intelligent, men have more wisdom, women need men to guide them. This attitude that women are inferior is still a problem today. Then we have this attitude that women are unintelligent. Some women have a PhD but they still won’t get a promotion because they measure intelligence a little differently than academics. Some of you are struggling with that. Some of you went on and got degrees and went to night school and come back and they still won't promote you because there's this unspoken attitude that you don't measure up. Then there are those who think that women are weak. What a tragedy. Let me tell you something. The most dangerous creature on earth is a woman. Solomon says she can destroy a king. I'm going to show you why a woman is so dangerous this afternoon. You are powerful. You have awesome power and only smart men know how powerful women are. It’s the dumb man who thinks you're not powerful he's the one you get. He thinks you're not powerful. I'm going to show you how Yahusha thought about this as well. Then finally they see women as worthy of abuse. After all she's not as equal, so men abuse women. What a tragedy. Some men don't think anything about it. They they hurt you, they emotionally abuse you, physically abuse you, psychologically abuse you, and then just go on and go watch TV as if it was nothing. The Most High Yah's going to judge them and He will vindicate you. I promise The Most High Yah will vindicate you. Now this last point here only in recent history has the plight of women being given the attention it deserves. We're separating the women from the men, women from the children, we're getting you into place by yourself. Nobody can deal with women better than the one who made women. All these problems that women are facing today, it was not so in the beginning. See whatever you are today that is not what The Most High Yah made. I believe that, that woman is close to emerging again. She's going to emerge again. How does a woman react to all of this negative lifestyle? Number one women believe that they were created like men and so the problem is they try to be men. In other words, because the woman has been treated so badly she believes that she should compete with men in order to regain or gain some kind of equality. That's not the way you become a true woman. You don't compete with a man but that's what some women are doing. They're reacting that way. If you could drive a tractor, I can drive a tractor. The motivation is wrong. When you compete with someone you are admitting that they are superior. It's very subtle and so women spend the rest of their lives trying to be like men. He could be a CEO, I can be CEO and so you have this struggle going on. Then thirdly, women believe they must do what men do to be equal to men. That's a tragedy. He can wear pants, I can wear pants, he can wear ties, I can wear ties, he can be a supervisor, I can be a supervisor. This is the attempt to be the man, that still doesn't make you a woman, it simply makes you a man. You have to stop pushing to try and be like him because most of them aren’t worth being like. You have to discover yourself and that's what we are going to talk about. What did The Most High Yah make you to be? Fourthly, some have become men and lost their unique female essence. I've seen some women who I'm afraid to be with. They look too masculine, the way they walk, the way they talk, it's just not the beauty of the quality of the essence of the quintessence of femaleness. No man wants a manish woman. Some women act like they don't need men. You will never get one, I promise. What you don't need, is to be a man, but when you don't know what a woman is, then you have to try your best to be something. Then the fifth point is important. In order to answer the questions of how to become a woman, you have to discover your original purpose. The female can only be fulfilled when she understands and submits to this purpose that The Most High Yah created her to be. I want to talk a little bit about that word purpose because I think it's important to reiterate this. Write this down please. The principle of purpose. Number one The Most High Yah is a The Most High Yah of purpose. Number two everything was created with and for a purpose. Number three not every purpose is known. Number four where purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. That means if you don't know the purpose of a thing all you can do is abuse it, that includes you yourself. Number five it's very important. If you want to know the purpose of a thing, never ask the thing. The worst thing a woman can do is to ask another woman how to be a woman. If a product asks the other product why he was made or why she was made they are going to get the wrong answer, why? Because purpose is only found in the mind of the maker of the product. Purpose is defined as the original reason for the existence of a thing. Purpose is the original reason why a thing was made. Purpose is defined as the original intent for the existence of a thing. In other words, every manufacturer makes a product with an intention in his mind that he wanted it to fulfill. When The Most High Yah created you and me, he had an intent behind his motivation. There was something he wanted that required the product. There's something The Most High Yah wanted to do on earth that required a female and there's something The Most High Yah wanted on earth that required a male and both of those things were different so he had to make the products different. You are what you are, how you are, and who you are because of why you are. There's something The Most High Yah wanted. This last principle is very important and that is, purpose is the key to fulfillment and preservation. That means if a product or a thing discovers its purpose and fulfills it, it will be fulfilled and also it will be protected. If I bought a DVD machine today, take it home and put it in the bathtub in water, what would happen to it? It will malfunction. In other words, I will be abnormally using it and abusing it because I'm not using it for the purpose it was created for. That's the same thing that happens to anything that is not used for its original purpose. It is not preserved, it is destroyed and it doesn't fulfill its reason for being. That's important for you to understand because a woman, if you don't know why The Most High Yah created you, and what he wanted you to do, and why he gave you your uniqueness, then you want to keep on experimenting with your life, abusing your life and eventually you will destroy yourself. So this afternoon we have to take a look at what I call the manufacturers manual. You know when you open that DVD box when you buy it, the first thing you see is not the DVD player, you see this book on top. Normally it is very clear, it has on it, before operating this product please read this book completely. How many really read it completely? Don’t lie and you know you don't. Now here's the problem. If you don't read that book, if you don't read that manual, then that is why the clock on your DVD is blinking right now. Let me ask you another question. How many functions does your DVD have according to the manual? It has twelve functions but you only know four. Stop, Rewind, Pause and Play. That means there are eight functions that you literally paid for but you are abusing, why? You did not read the manual. What's the manual? The word “manu” means to make. Manufacture is the factor that made it. So the one who makes it is called a manufacturer. Manu means to make. Factor means the factor that made it. Manufacturers make the product. When they finish the product they put the manual in the box. Manu menu means to make and “al” is the word for thought. So when you say manual, you're saying that the manufacturer took his thoughts that made him put his thoughts in the box and sent his thoughts with the product and said before you use my product read my mind. In other words, the reason why you are abusing the product is because you didn't read the manufacturer's mind. So the key to operating any product effectively is to get the mind of the maker of the product because no one knows a product like the manufacturer. Do you agree? Wouldn’t it be terrible to take your Mercedes-benz to a Toyota dealer to be fixed? You don't do that, do you? What we keep doing is we keep taking The Most High Yah's product to unauthorized dealers to get it fixed and that's why we have lesbianism so strong because women are going to the wrong people for counsel. It's incredible to me that you go to a psychologist to get help with your marriage and the psychologist has been married four times. Come on, think about this. If the psychologist has information that can help you, how come their marriage didn't work? You see? We keep going to the wrong unauthorized dealers. Let me tell you something. Congress did not make women. Mayors in San Francisco did not make women. Theologists and theologians did not make women. You were not made by social scientists or behavioral scientists. You were created by The Most High universal company incorporated. You are produced by The Most High Yah which means that the only person that knows the truth about your product is the one who made you. So what he did was, he sent you with a manual and he said before operating your product, please read the manual completely. When we read, we read love romance books, we read Ebony, we read all kinds of magazines, we read all kinds of interesting books, but we don't read the manual. So we get other people's opinions rather than the manufacturer's truth and that's why it's so important in this series to bring women back to the manufacturers manual so that they can hear what the manufacturer says about them. No man won’t ever be able to fool you again when I'm finished. You're going to be so shocked. The manufacturer therefore is the only one that knows you.
