Oh yes she preaches that you should fornicate, I forgot.
I thought she taught how God set her free from abuse and how to forgive people.
But hey she's a woman who preaches in denim, so she must be a Jezebel.
And if she's not and you have to give account for every word you said you just say: oops. Better watch out what you say, even if there's things wrong with what she preaches. Don't call your brother a fool. What I heard from her was good.
Rodney Howard Browne when people said women couldn't wear make up because Jezebel painted her eyes black: Jezebel, Jingle bell, every old door needs a lick of paint.

PART II
A known prostitute in Jericho believing she was on God’s side… a beautiful woman stolen from her honorable husband by a king raises her son to love God…. a beautiful Jewess marries and deceives a king about her heritage to protect her God-fearing people… a woman in Samaria with too many husbands, who endures racial prejudice believes the Messiah has come… a woman with a bad reputation wastes expensive perfume and makes a spectacle of herself because she recognizes Jesus as Savior… a woman of Canaan won’t take no for an answer because she believes Jesus is faithful to His Word… an old woman ostracized, sick and unclean believes Jesus can heal her… a woman caught in the act of adultery learns not one man can judge her… Christian women who are dismissed as foolish and unreliable by Christian men are first to see the Risen Savior… a young girl considered goofy and naïve in her faith is overcome with joy when she witnesses her prayer miraculously answered… a demon possessed fortune-telling prostitute is redeemed by the Lord while she follows the apostle Paul around…
Every one of these women was chosen to exalt Mighty God in spite of the negative attitudes of those who lacked faith in the Lord for these women. Each of these ladies were honored by the Lord forever in His Holy Word. None of these women had the approval of men, religious or otherwise. None of these women had anything to boast about of themselves. They were chosen by God to glorify Himself to us and to the whole world.
There is nothing of the flesh in these accounts that exalt the Most High God. But God is glorified THROUGH them because He uses the foolish things to confound the “wise”, to confuse the intellectual, to baffle the religious scholar, to complicate self-appointed church leaders, to perplex the legalists, to humble the prideful, to mystify Pharisees.
It is absolutely foolish for any man to dictate who God can and cannot use for whatever He purposes to do. There is nothing in our natural mind that can hope to comprehend what is God’s will. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Does God call women to pastor? Will God lead a woman to teach men? Did God create an order for marriage? There is only one way to find out for sure: ask God the Father. He is faithful and He will answer. He is the ONLY ONE to answer you about what He is doing.
I would never put faith in anyone’s opinion (including my own) when it does not exalt Christ Jesus. If any of our testimonies is of how we do this and that, how by our own desire and self will we are accomplishing some great thing, it is a LIE. Anyone who exalts themselves (that includes me) and their efforts is competing against Christ. For there is no good in the flesh. Nobody has the desire to do God’s will of themselves. NOBODY. Nobody on this board can boast accept in Jesus. So cancel out all the posts that attempt to cancel out Jesus.
Brothers and sisters, just because someone bombards you with scripture after scripture of how their belief is right, DON’T GO WITH THEM. If you don’t easily see the nature of Jesus Christ in someone, if you don’t read mercy and truth and humility in a post, it is not Jesus Christ. Even the devil appears as an angel of light and knows scripture better than most. But the devil does not know the truth of the scriptures and God does. And He will reveal the truth to you Himself by His Holy Spirit.
There are too many opinions and false teachings here to put faith in anything but Jesus Himself. The Lord is faithful to exalt Himself in your heart and show you the truth. Amen?

Please don't take my comments to indicate that I agree with Joyce Meyers... I think she's a good motivational speaker, but from what little I've heard of her, I don't think she's terribly accurate, scripturally. She should do AA meetings, and that type of thing, but should leave preaching to the body of Christ alone. Just my opinion... YMMV.
I just thought the comments about how she was dressed were strangely critical. I saw nothing wrong with what she was wearing.

Honest. The answer is connected, if you keep reading. The writings didn't use to have chapters and verses. They were added later. This is a continuation of what you referred to.
Gal. 4:1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
And Henry agreed. It's really not saying women aren't women anymore, Slaves aren't slaves anymore, etc. We are still what we were, but we are Daddy's (Abba's) darling children always. Henry isn't using it as an excuse to say women can do everything a man can do (and vice versa.)

When you say women do you mean like Bruce Jenner? 
I'll tell you what I will tell them: Seek Christ Jesus with all your heart and ask Him for wisdom. Because the Holy Spirit is our teacher and ONLY by revelation of the Spirit of God can we know a thing as truth. It will NEVER be intellectually revealed. NEVER.
Because the flesh isn't able to receive anything from God.

Stop looking at the street walkers so much?
Honestly. Theologically, I agree with you most of the time, but was that necessary? If it was a picture of a guy, would it come close to even hitting your mind? I'm not fond of the woman, but I won't take it down to looks, and I think that is a double standard we should have gotten over decades ago.
Stop taking it just to eye level for women only! If all we are to you is something to look at, that's a problem with your eyes, not the woman!
