Can I just say a word about unrighteous dominion?\u00a0 This is probably the biggest problem women have against men.\u00a0Forever ago, men decided since they were bigger and stronger than women they assumed they were smarter than them too.\u00a0 All of that kind of went with the same male dominating territory.\u00a0 They have lorded that privilege over women ever since.\u00a0 \u00a0And let\u2019s be fair, I am fully aware there are some women out there who are bullies too.<\/p>\n
Question:\u00a0 How many men (and women) can handle power?\u00a0 I would guess roughly 1-2%.\u00a0 This is out of every one who has been born on this planet.\u00a0 There is no manual on the subject.\u00a0 There are not that many fine examples to look up to.\u00a0 I have never met one personally who could handle power without considerable humility.<\/p>\n
Worldly power has given men the go ahead to mess things up.\u00a0 With Priesthood power, you would think men could handle things a little more carefully and judiciously.\u00a0 Not so.\u00a0 Physical and mental abuse is just about as prevalent in the church as it is out of the church.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t mean to bash men.\u00a0 \u00a0Men are pretty straightforward; duty is their motivation.\u00a0 If they\u2019re told to do something by someone higher up, they are very likely to follow through.\u00a0 Women have a tough time positioning themselves \u201chigher up\u201d, or on equal ground, thus, teamwork is difficult to achieve.<\/p>\n
Women not only have equal intelligence to men, the bonus of compassion and empathy often make women powerhouses.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I love that idea:\u00a0 Righteous women powerhouses.\u00a0 I think we should all call ourselves that instead of \u201csister\u201d, what do you think?\u00a0 Of course we have to say it humbly.<\/p>\n
The same problems of power exist for women. \u00a0\u00a0Female bosses have a bad reputation.\u00a0 It\u2019s not usually seen as readily though, because of the common position she finds herself in.\u00a0 But those placed \u201cunder\u201d women have certainly suffered: children.<\/p>\n
We must always remember that the gospel is perfect.\u00a0 The principle of men being the bearers of the Priesthood and the women being the bearers of children is a perfect system designed by Heavenly Father.\u00a0 What mortal man has done with this principle, with a lot of help from Satan, has turned us against each other.<\/p>\n
It is God\u2019s desire that we work as a perfectly oiled machine, each doing our part, working together, following His precepts, living His high and holy standards, in order to preach the gospel to the world and return His children to His presence.\u00a0 We can\u2019t do that if we are bickering and trying to outsmart one another.<\/p>\n
Satan can\u2019t get enough of his mayhem; he attacks below the belt; no rules to follow, all taboos brushed aside.\u00a0 Satan\u2019s temporary power has become the world\u2019s power.\u00a0 We are his puppets, both men and women, his toys.<\/p>\n
Men and women are not perfect.\u00a0 We must each rely on the Lord to achieve that.\u00a0 Repentance is a gift from God to help us; it gives us the ability to forgive, and ultimately it perfects us.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take away Satan\u2019s power and find a way to work together with love, long-suffering, and hope for a bright tomorrow.\u00a0 Man and woman, husband and wife, are not the enemy.\u00a0 They are equal partners who must work together, and with the Lord\u2019s help, overcome Satan\u2019s world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
