Women - We weren't necessarily ever taught to fight - we were taught to love. To the world, this is often perceived as being submissive, as giving in to emotions and not standing up for what's right, as being weak.
However, the truth is that we are given the GIFT of Love. We have the SKILL to turn the other cheek, and we have the ABILITY to allow the men in our lives to be Warriors while we stand in support. These are all God's gifts to women.
None of this strips us of the DUTY to fight! Let me repeat that - none of these gifts strips us of the DUTY to fight for what's right!
And God has given us the weapons with which to fight:
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:12-17Ladies - let's put on our armor, lay down the perceptions of weakness and join the fight. Yes, we are called to support our Warriors...and we, as well, are called to be Princess Warriors for the Kingdom of the one, true, living God!
