The Real Culprit

And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. . . . Then the woman fled into the wilderness.— Revelation 12:4-6 NKJV

It is time for the truth to be told and for people to realize the attack on women is actually from Satan himself. He works through people, but he is the source of the problem. And his handiwork litters our history. Women have been habitually discriminated against, contrary to God’s will. In Genesis, the Bible simply states, “So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth” (Genesis 1:27–28).

God spoke to the man and woman equally, giving them both rights and authority and telling both of them to live fruitful lives. Any message that diminishes a woman’s position and value as established in creation must be rejected as a satanic lie.

Lord, I bless You that You have given me dominion and authority to exercise in my life, and I reject every lie that says otherwise. I will be fruitful for Your glory. Amen.
