Yes, They can! I have found evidence in the Bible. Here are some scriptures to say our God believes women can and do prophecy Yeshua’s Word of God as much as men do. The Bible was written by men and back as far as you can go in history. Women have been treated as servants only for their men. But if you look deeper in scriptures, you will see that women were almost everywhere a man was when Yeshua was teaching. And Yeshua always involved the women and treated them so special and as His very own just as He treated the men.

Here are some scriptures to see for yourself.

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

It was the Great Commission; Yeshua says to make disciples of all the nations and to obey. I believe this is for men and women. Don’t you see it too?

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.

7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?

9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome

11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

The Holy Spirit came down on everyone in the room and everyone spoke a different language some people call it speaking in tongues. I’m sure the women were there too. Right?

Joel 2:28

²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

They all were to be His servants. Don’t you think women can prophecy too like men, well I think better than men.

The Empty Tomb

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. ² So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

³ So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. ⁴ Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵ He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, ⁷ as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. ⁸ Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. ⁹ (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) ¹⁰ Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

¹¹ Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb ¹² and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

¹³ They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” ¹⁴ At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

¹⁷ Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Yeshua told Mary Magdalene to disciple about His resurrection, Yeshua chose a woman as a preacher.

The Conduct of Women in Worship (1 Timothy 2:9-15) Likewise the women are to dress in suitable apparel, with modesty and self-control. Their adornment must not be with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing, but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness.

Paul writes I don’t permit a woman to teach or be a paster over a man, like women are opposing the word of God. He said women are to be quiet. Bologna!! I don’t agree with what Paul said. Coarse the scribe could have been at that time when rewriting the Bible canonized it. I remember what the word says about where Paul came from, first he’s a Jewish man and got taught the legalism and religious ways and crucified the believers in those days by killing people who didn’t believe the same way as he did. Then Yeshua came to Paul and saved him from legalism and from himself. A lot of Christians believe Paul as to be worshipped. I don’t agree at all. He was a disciple just as we are. Right Gals” And Yeshua cherished the women of those days and depended on them too. He adored them and treated them as special. As He says to have husbands treat their wives as to be treasured.

Now remember Debbie the warrior women of her day she was a judge, and a worship leader and a prophetess a preacher too.

Who was Deborah in the Bible?

ANSWER

Deborah was one of the judges of Israel during a time of oppression. She is called a prophetess and the wife of Lappidoth. The Lord spoke through her as she held court under a tree called “the Palm of Deborah” in Ephraim. The Lord also used her to set her people free and defeat the king of Canaan. Deborah’s story is found in Judges, chapters 4 and 5.

Deborah was Israel’s only female judge. Some scholars have suggested that her position as judge was itself a judgment on the weak-willed men of Israel. Because Israel’s men were unfit to judge, God chose a woman for the job, partly to shame the men who should have taken the leadership. Other commentators believe that Deborah’s role as judge was a sign of God’s comforting presence in the midst of His oppressed and downtrodden people.


God’s word comes through Deborah to a man of Naphtali named Barak. The message is that he will lead the revolt against Sisera. Barak’s response is, “I’ll only go if Deborah goes with me” (Judges 4:8). Everyone was afraid of Sisera, including Barak. Deborah agrees to accompany Barak, but she also prophesies that the honor for the victory would belong to a woman, not to Barak (Judges 4:9).

When the time came for battle, God again spoke through Deborah, who prompted Barak to marshal his forces. The Israelites came against the army of Sisera, and God granted the victory. The mighty Sisera himself was brought down by the hand of a woman, just as Deborah had said. As the commander rested after the battle, a woman named Jael drove a tent peg through his head.

Who was Deborah in the Bible? We can see that God’s power is what matters, regardless of the instrument He chooses to use. Man or woman, strong or weak, confident or hesitant – all are strong when they are moved by God’s Spirit and filled with His strength. We can also see in Deborah a picture of God’s tender care for His people. As a mother cares for her children, so Deborah led and nurtured Israel (Judges 5:7).

Well, Yeshua guided me to teach about these powerful women of the Bible. To me they and so many other women in the bible and the women I know are warrior women of God. What I was going to share with you all was about what happens when women of God say yes to Him and His Will. Not about us at all. I have talked to so many different women that live in such hard times and they wonder why me? And I ask that question too. I know our Father thru His Holy Spirit has told me that it’s a growing process and a healing process for us to go thru so we can live and depend on Him more and more. I know it’s just words I’m saying, but I have lived it and am living it right now at this very moment in my life.

We are to be Yeshua’s Warrior Daughters!! This is what makes us this way. If we didn’t go thru anything what would have, we become, fake people not so deep and not able to be Yeshua’s next group of disciples with Him. Yes, we are a part of His Bible. He’s got the end of the book in His hands and is waiting for us to trust Him and Honor Him and know it’s all of it is all about Him not us. Remember He lives in us, It’s His life not ours!!

Until next time I will wait for Yeshua to guide me to what you all need to hear and me too. I love you all with agape love that’s Yeshua’s true love.

Moses’ sister, Miriam, accompanied her younger brother when he led the Hebrew people in their escape from slavery in Egypt. Her name in Hebrew means “bitterness.” Miriam was the first woman in the Bible to be given the title prophetess. Although her jealously later in life led to disaster, Miriam’s quick wit as a young girl helped change the course of Israel’s history by protecting its greatest spiritual leader.

Moses’ Sister in the Bible

Miriam first appears in the Bible in Exodus 2:4, as she watches her baby brother float down the Nile River in a pitch-covered basket so he would escape Pharaoh’s order to kill all male Jewish infants. Miriam boldly approached Pharaoh’s daughter, who found the baby, and offered her own mother—Moses’ mother too—as a nurse for Moses.

Miriam was not mentioned again until after the Hebrews had crossed the Red Sea. After the waters swallowed up the pursuing Egyptian army, Miriam took a timbrel, a tambourine-like instrument, and led the women in a song and dance of victory. The words of Miriam’s song are among the oldest poetic lines of verse in the Bible:

“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” (Exodus 15:21, ESV)

Later, Miriam’s position as a prophet went to her head. She and Aaron, also Moses’ sibling, complained about Moses’ Cushite wife and rebelled against their brother. However, Miriam’s real problem was jealousy:

“Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard this. (Numbers 12:2, NIV)

God rebuked them, saying he spoke to them in dreams and visions but spoke to Moses face to face. Then God struck Miriam with leprosy.

Only through the pleading of Aaron to Moses, then Moses to God, was Miriam spared death from the dreaded disease. Still, she had to be confined outside the camp seven days until she was clean.

After the Israelites had wandered in the desert 40 years, Miriam died and was buried at Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin. 

Accomplishments of Miriam

Miriam served as a prophet of God, speaking his word as he instructed. She also was a unifying force among the cantankerous Hebrew people.

Miriam was first of many musical women in the Bible.

Strengths

Miriam had a strong personality in an age when women were not considered leaders. No doubt she supported her brothers Moses and Aaron during the arduous trek in the desert.

Even as a young girl, Miriam was a quick-thinker. Her nimble mind and protective nature quickly devised a brilliant plan that made it possible for Moses to be raised by his own mother, Jochebed.

Weaknesses

Miriam’s desire for personal glory led her to question God. Miriam rebelled not only against Moses’ authority but also God’s. If Moses had not been a special friend of God, Miriam might have died.

Life Lessons from Miriam

God doesn’t need our advice. He calls us to trust and obey him. When we grumble and complain, we show that we think we can handle the situation better than God.

Hometown

Miriam was from Goshen, the Hebrew settlement in Egypt.

References to Miriam in the Bible

Moses’ sister Miriam is mentioned in Exodus 15:20-21, Numbers 12:1-15, 20:1, 26:59; Deuteronomy 24:9; 1 Chronicles 6:3; and Micah 6:4.

Micah 6:4
I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam. (NIV)

We don’t know a lot about Anna, the prophetess mentioned in the Bible. But what we do know is that she was a warrior woman of great faith!!

 Anna the Prophetess in the Bible

• Anna, a holy and wise woman, saw things that were not yet apparent to others: she ‘saw’ the destiny of the small child Jesus when she held him in her arms.

Who is Anna the prophetess?

Anna, the prophetess, appears in the Bible connected to Jesus’ childhood. She was the daughter of Penuel from the tribe of Asher. Her name, which she shares with Hannah in the Old Testament, means “favor” or “grace.”

While mentioned in just three verses of the New Testament, all in the Book of Luke, we get a glimpse of who this devout woman was.

When Anna encounters the baby Jesus in the temple, we see that her life reflects her name: favor and grace.

Anna is among only a handful of women in the Bible bearing the title “prophetess.” The others are Miriam, the sister of Moses, Deborah, the judge, Huldah, the wife of Shallum, Isaiah’s wife, and Philip’s four unmarried daughters (Acts21:9).

Anna was married just seven years before she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the remainder of her life. Most translations say that Anna was eighty-four years old when she met Jesus.

She could have been at least 104 years old—if she had married at thirteen, which was common in biblical times.  Either way, she had spent most of her life without a husband, dedicated her life to the Lord, and ministered before the Lord in the temple.

We are given a surprising amount of detail about Anna in just a few verses:

• We learn about Anna’s tribe and family.
• That she became a widow after just seven years of marriage.

(There is a neat parallel here with another famous widow, the Jewish heroine Judith, who, like Anna, did not remarry after her husband’s death. Judith and Anna both lived to be about the same age. If you put aside her seduction and murder of the enemy general Holofernes, Judith’s situation was similar to Anna’s.)

• Anna is an elderly Jewish woman.

Strangely, her age is mentioned at all.  I can’t think of another example in the New Testament where someone’s age is mentioned.  

However, the text mentions how long she has waited for the Redeemed One.  

Anna shares that He has arrived, and she holds Him in her arms.

I wonder if the point of sharing her ages is to parallel the long years the Jewish people have waited for their Messiah or to insinuate that the waiting, and the certainty of an eventual reward, has kept her alive and given her the purpose.

After becoming a widow, Anna dedicated herself entirely to the Lord. She never left the temple in Jerusalem but spent her time worshiping, fasting, and praying.

It is possible that Anna was given a place to live at the temple because of her designation as a prophetess, or she may have lived nearby.

While we could point to several things, what truly stands out was her constant devotion for most of her life.

This devotion was rewarded with the gift of finally seeing her Savior. Her many years of sacrifice and service were worth it when she beheld the Messiah, the One for whom she had waited so long.

While they are at the temple, Simeon holds the Lord Jesus in his arms, praises God, and utters a prophecy concerning Jesus and Mary. At this moment, Anna enters. She immediately recognizes Jesus as the long-awaited Savior and begins to give thanks and praise to God.

Anna arrives at the purification of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in the Temple, 40 days after Jesus’ birth. It is a scene familiar in Israelite culture.

The Law did not require the child’s presence at the Temple when payment was made, but the two ceremonies were held together on this occasion.

However, this purification is unlike any other, for Simeon and Anna arrive at the ritual independently, though both seem led by divine direction.

What happened when Anna saw Jesus?

The Greek word used by Luke suggests recognition intuition. She ‘sees’ what others cannot.

Her reaction is immediate and dramatic: she speaks loudly, telling anyone near her about this extraordinary child.

Here, in front of their eyes, is the One who will bring redemption to Israel.

Her father, Phan’u-el’s name, means ‘face of God.’ His name may be a foresight since Anna was among the first to recognize the face of God when she saw the infant, Jesus.

Anna, the prophetess, was among the first to bring honor to the infant Jesus born in a stable. Anna shared this good news with everyone who was anticipating the Messiah. The Redeemer had come, the prophecies were fulfilled, and Anna was blessed to see it happen.

Luke’s connecting of Simeon and Anna proffers an exciting comparison. Simeon arrives first, and Luke records more of his encounter. Simeon is an older man. He exclaims:

The appointive “prophetess” leads the description of her. By doing this, Luke puts her above Simeon; a man praised as righteous and devout. He may have been a priest as he is given the honor of holding the baby Jesus.

Anna in the Bible: A Widow with a Purpose

Sorrow and heartbreak can harden one. A person can give in to self-pity. They are complaining about their hard lot in life, even, perhaps, being mad at God. They may even feel jealous of those who haven’t faced the sorrow they have and envy others who appear happier than them (we’ve all fallen into the comparison trap, haven’t we?)

A widow, however, who has given her life to the Lord may be one of the happiest of all.  Bear with me for a moment here.

Anna’s life was full of prayer.

Living daily face to face with God, listening to Him speak to her, impart wisdom to her, and not giving in to self-pity. She must have glowed with the love of God and the light he shined through her.

Anna in the Bible: “to Speak of Him to All”

Many who devote themselves to prayer are people of few words.  Anna, it seems, was this way, but when she did speak, she spoke of the coming Messiah.

Most people in Jerusalem likely had no idea who she was., but Anna knew “all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.”

The small company of Christians in this little town, with their eyes fixed on what is to come and the Kingdom of God which will replace it all lived lives contrary to how things were during Jesus’ day. Herod and Jerusalem were “troubled” at His birth, but Anna was filled with adoration for Him-the aged intercessor saw her prayer s answered.

Lessons We Can Learn from Anna the Prophetess

1. Don’t Ever Give Up

I’m sure there are many times that you and I have wanted to give up.

We can get lonely, sick, and exhausted. But Anna continued to pray for her prayers to be answered – the Redeemer.

We may have others who come alongside to encourage us and may experience some positive outcomes, but Anna praying for 60 years must have been difficult, and I wonder if she didn’t even consider giving up.

However, she didn’t and continued to share her faith with many people.

God’s timing is truly perfect. Think about it. If Christ had come the first day she was widowed, how many people would have never heard the message of salvation. We must never give up.

2. Always Obey What God Tells You to

Anna was told by God what to do! She listened and obeyed, and her life was changed. How about you? Has he told you something but you are afraid, maybe lazy or simply disobedient? The blessings of being obedient far outweigh any of our fears or concerns.

3. Be Strong

Despite her husband’s death, she exemplified that God is with us even in the worst of circumstances. She demonstrated that God could use you no matter who you are, what situation you’re in – married or single, rich or poor.

4. God Provides for Us

Anna knew from experience that the Lord answers prayers. Being a widow, Anna had to rely on others for food and clothing, but she never lacked anything because God provided it all in His kindness! And, my friends, He will provide for you, too!

5. Fasting produces results.

In our society, where food, electronics, and other necessities are available for most, fasting can seem difficult even when we commit to fasting with others. Ann, however, Anna fasted alone. What strength she must have had to do this. She honestly didn’t care what other people thought, but only what God thought.

Fasting, coupled with fervent prayer, brings results.  For Anna, it brought her the Messiah. 

6. Commitment is Imperative

Anna was committed to telling everyone about the coming Savior, no matter how long it took. She prayed, fasted, and shared that the Messiah was coming for about sixty years.

We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, for they are good for us-they help to make our endurance stronger. And that’s precisely what makes these obstacles useful in developing character, which gives you greater confidence about our salvation.  This commitment, this expectation, will make us stronger in our faith.

7. We Need to Be Courageous

Anna dared to keep going, and she did not let anyone stop her from telling others about Christ. Are you courageous in telling others about Christ? Are you showing bravery when answering a calling God has for your life?

8. Always Be a Strong Witness for Jesus

Anna demonstrated how important it is to tell others about Christ in all situations, whether at the gym, the grocery store, or our child’s sports practice.

9. Always Listen for the Direction God Wants You to

Anna didn’t listen to anyone tell her who she was in Christ. She heard God tell her who she was and the direction he wanted to go.

10. We Need to Understand and Practice Patience

Anna waited for Jesus’ arrival despite her praying for years without an answer. She had the patience and fortitude that few have, including me.  It’s something God is working on with me.  How about you?  Do you share the patience of Anna in the Bible?

The Story of Anna, the Prophetess

The story of Anna the prophetess is an encouragement to all believers. She was a woman who was devoted to God and spent her life in prayer. As a result, she was blessed with the gift of prophecy and saw Jesus as an infant. We can learn many things from Anna’s example, including the importance of spending time alone with God, being faithful in prayer, and sharing the gospel with others. What are your takeaways from the story of Anna?

It’s been fun hiking in the woods with my two beautiful dogs. Frankie my Akita and Border Collie and Gracie my Border Collie and Short haired Shepard. They both have been so ready to walk everyday if I’d say let’s go. We’ve been walking by the river with all of the fishermen. It’s been interesting when Frankie would like to help catching their fish for them. They also like to get wet and hang out in the water. Gracie is the only one who will attempt to swim. My Rottweilers always loved to swim. These dogs don’t so much.

Don’t get me wrong I like my best buds. Some days they are annoying because they try to lead me. My Frankie has stopped being so scared while walking but lately he’s been acting out when I get home earlier than I usually do. I’m not sure what’s going on. My Gracie she’s always been hyper. She was blessed with two breeds of hyperness. And she is still scared of everything. That’s why neither one of them will come with me on my writer’s retreat. I usually take one of them with me.

Like I said I do love both my doggies. They both have their own personalities for sure because of their breeds but I think mostly because of their personalities. I do like them to have these personalities, but it gets to me some days. We’re going to keep hiking in the woods, and I will enjoy my dogs every day. I have been blessed with them both.
