Declare Your Existence, Celebrate Your Creation!

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit —fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
~ John 15:16

Last month Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Jubilee of being a Queen in England and on the Fourth of July we celebrated the independence of this nation, but Woman of GOD have you celebrated your independence of freedom from bondages?....or are you carrying those bondages?

Jubilee in the Hebrew Scriptures signifies a year of rest to be observed by the Israelites every 50th year, during which slaves were to be set free, alienated property restored to the former owners, and the lands left untilled.

* A season or an occasion of joyful celebration. Jubilation; rejoicing.

Do You Honestly Believe You Were Created For Greatness?

Before we answer that let's reflect back to the video we see GOD created man and HE stated it was "Perfect", but let's go to Genesis 2:18 where the Lord GOD said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.  I will make a helper suitable for him."  In the video we see GOD left off with Adam, but GOD created a "Helper" for Adam.  Genesis 2:21-23 says so the Lord GOD caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, HE took one of the man's rib and then closed up the place with flesh.  Then the Lord GOD made a woman from the rib HE had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called WOMAN , for she was taken out of man."  GOD created the woman from the rib of man.  In Hebrews, the language of the Old Testament, the word for rib signifies the side of something--more often the side of a building than of a person.  Therefore, the woman is at the man's side as his confidante, encourager and inward strength.  She is a "helper" the word helper does not imply inferiority.  It describes a function and not worth.  We look at the definition of Function: The purpose for which something is designed, or exist; a role and we look at the word worth in this sense which does not signify value, but when you think about worth pertaining to a woman the definition of Worth: Excellence of character or quality as commanding esteem (Woman of Worth) 2. Usefulness or importance as to the world, to a person, or for a purpose "Your worth to the world is inestimable

When Adam said, "She shall be called "Woman" Genesis 2:23, he was declaring her existence.  Adam was also praising and celebrating her creation.  Eve was created to be a Spiritual  partner in the task of obidence to GOD dominion over the earth and procreation of the generations.  Eve was created with life, for life and to be an exampl of life Genesis 3:20

So now we what does this all mean? We were created to be helpers, confidante, encourager, woman of strength, so that described our purpose and our worth, so let's redifine function and replace the something with woman:


 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
I know that full well."
~ Psalm 139:14

Function: The purpose for which WOMAN was designed, or exist, or our role.

Now you are sitting there saying to yourself "Okay, lady where are you going with this?" Let me break it down to you.  Eve wasn't just some chick who at the apple and the one we want to slap for listening to a serpent that was not above, but beneth her--she was created with a purpose.  GOD created her to be the Mother of Mothers. 

Let me leave you with this scripture to ponder over:

Confirming One’s Calling and Election

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. ~ 2 Peter 1:3-4
