Witchcraft in the Church 67<br />
getting out <strong>of</strong> this just because your husb<strong>and</strong> is wrong sometimes or<br />
because he isn’t a Christian.<br />
Let me take a moment to talk about why God has established order in<br />
the first place. Satan has a special hatred for women because they are<br />
used <strong>of</strong> God to bring forth life in the earth <strong>and</strong> satan is the God <strong>of</strong><br />
death. Many women also make great intercessors <strong>and</strong> prophets <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Lord because <strong>of</strong> their sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. So satan has devised<br />
a plan to destroy women, <strong>and</strong> it is called a Jezebel spirit. This<br />
spirit deceives women (especially hurt women) into a false sense <strong>of</strong><br />
strength, protection, <strong>and</strong> control. It leads them into rebellion against<br />
God <strong>and</strong> his word <strong>and</strong> ultimately leads to death. God saw this <strong>and</strong><br />
placed male authority over women from the beginning. Like Paul<br />
brought out when he said Adam was created first then Eve. We see<br />
God continue the pattern when he called Abraham, established Moses<br />
<strong>and</strong> Aaron over Israel, established David over the nation as a king, <strong>and</strong><br />
when Jesus picked twelve men to establish New Testament authority.<br />
It is very obvious that authority is something established in men, but<br />
both men <strong>and</strong> women can be used mightily <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
Being covered<br />
Women can have gifts <strong>and</strong> anointings, at times greater than men, but<br />
that does not mean they can function in these gifts <strong>and</strong> anointings in<br />
rebellion to male authority <strong>and</strong> be blessed <strong>of</strong> God. We read in<br />
1Corinthians 11 that Paul teaches about women having their heads<br />
covered which speaks <strong>of</strong> being under authority. He also teaches it<br />
would be a shame for the roles to be reversed by having a woman<br />
cover a man in an authority role (which is what we see in the Jezebel<br />
<strong>and</strong> Ahab spirits). Paul teaches this when he says,<br />
“Now I want you to realize that the head <strong>of</strong> every man is Christ, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
head <strong>of</strong> the woman is man, <strong>and</strong> the head <strong>of</strong> Christ is God. Every man<br />
who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head<br />
(Christ). And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered<br />
dishonors her headit is just as though her head were shaved.<br />
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut <strong>of</strong>f<br />
(speaking <strong>of</strong> the anointing symbolically like we see in Samson); <strong>and</strong> if<br />
it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved <strong>of</strong>f, she<br />
should cover her head (submit to authority). A man ought not to cover<br />
his head, since he is the image <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> glory <strong>of</strong> God; but the<br />
woman is the glory <strong>of</strong> man. For man did not come from woman, but<br />
woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for<br />
man. For this reason, <strong>and</strong> because <strong>of</strong> the angels, the woman ought to<br />
have a sign <strong>of</strong> authority on her head.” 1Cor 11:310
