HOW DO YOU CHERISH A WOMAN? HOW
SHOULD I CHERISH MY
WOMEN, MY WIFE, MY DAUGHTER, MY
SISTER, MY MOTHER?
>>>1. Know that, unless you have the gift of
celibacy (1Cor.7) and feel no need
for marriage or sexual relationships, GOD
says that it is NOT GOOD for
man to be alone, and that He made a
female helper suitable for him who is
the solution for a man's "aloneness".
Know it. Believe it. Accept it. Act on it.
Receive it and her. Thank God for it and
her.
>Gen. 2:18 � And the LORD God said, [It
is] not good that the man should be
alone. I will make a helper suitable for
him.
>>>2. Know that women are a far better
judge of their peers than you, as a male,
could ever be, except with the Spirit's
intervention. Respect, hear, receive
(for serious consideration) a godly
woman's spiritual evaluation of another
woman.
>Gen. 12:15 The princes of Pharaoh also
saw her and commended her before
Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into
Pharaoh's house.
>>>>3. Listen to and yield to your woman, if
you may do so and still walk in the
Way of the Word in obedience to Jesus.
If she realizes that her request or
decision was wrong, without "I told you
so" or guilt tripping, help her make
things right, seeking and accepting God's
solution. If you believe her solution
is wrong and respectfully so advise her,
but she goes on with it anyway, give
her to God, pray for her and ask God to
shepherd her. If God intervenes to
clean up her mess, help her to realize
that God still loves her and seeks to
bless her as she walks before Him in
loving obedience, perhaps to make a
great godly "noblewoman" out the
precious "princess" that she is. He may
even bless you through her, so take real
good care of her, and listen wisely to
her.
>Gen. 16:2 And Sarai said to Abram,
Behold now, the LORD has kept me
from bearing. I pray you, go in to my
slave woman. . . . Abram listened to the
voice of Sarai. 3 And Sarai, Abram's
wife, took Hagar her slave woman, the
Egyptian, and gave her to her husband
Abram to be his wife . . . .4 And he
went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And
when she saw that she had
conceived, her mistress was despised in
her eyes.5 And Sarai said to Abram,
My wrong [be] upon you. . . . . I was
despised in her eyes. The LORD judge
between me and you. 6 But Abram said
to Sarai, Behold, your slave woman
[is] in your hand. Do to her as it pleases
you. And Sarai dealt harshly with
her, and she fled from her face. 7 And
the Angel of the LORD found her by a
fountain of water in the wilderness, by
the fountain in the way to Shur. . .9
And the Angel of the LORD said to her,
Return to your mistress and submit
yourself under her hands. 10 And the
Angel of the LORD said to her, I will
multiply your seed exceedingly, so that it
shall not be numbered for
multitude. 11 And the Angel of the LORD
said to her, . . .the LORD has
heard your affliction . . .Ge 17:15 And
God said to Abraham, As for Sarai
your wife, you shall not call her name
Sarai [princess], but her name [shall
be] Sarah [noblewoman]. 16 And I will
bless her, and give you a son also of
her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be
[a mother] of nations, kings of
people shall be from her. Gen. 21:12 And
God said to Abraham, Let it not be
grievous in your sight because of the boy
and because of your slave woman.
IN ALL THAT SARAH HAS SAID TO YOU, LISTEN TO
HER VOICE. . . . .Ge 21:16 . . . she
[Hagar] said, Let me not see the death of
the boy. And she sat across from
him, and lifted up her voice, and cried.
17 And God heard the voice of the
boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar
out of the heavens, and said to
her, What ails you, Hagar? Do not fear,
for God has heard the voice of the
boy where he is.
>>>>4. Recognize and joyfully accept the fact
that God can work in your woman
to want to do His will and then work in
her enabling her to do His will.
When she is being so motivated, enabled,
led and activated---cherish her by
supporting and encouraging her, serving
her in any way you may. For sure
watch her in silent prayer and
meditation and see the prospering of the
Lord. Then compassionately and
affectionately cherish her, your precious
princess, your noblewoman under
construction, your gift from God.
>Ge 24:16 And the young woman [was]
very beautiful to look upon, a virgin,
neither had any man known her. And
she went down to the well, and filled
her pitcher, and came up. 17 And the
servant ran to meet her, and said,
Please let me drink a little water of your
pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my
lord. And she hurried and let down her
pitcher upon her hand, and gave [a]
drink to him.20 And she hurried, and
emptied her pitcher in the trough, and
ran again to the well to draw [water].
And she drew for all his camels. 21
And the man was watching her, keeping
silent, in order to know whether the
LORD had prospered his journey or not. .
.57 And they said, We will call the
young woman and inquire at her mouth.
58 And they called Rebekah, and
said to her, Will you go with this man?
And she said, I will go. . . 64 And
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw
Isaac. And she dismounted from the
camel. . . 67 And Isaac brought her into
his mother Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife. And
he loved her . . .
Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by
[the] Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God who works
in you both to will and to do of [His]
good pleasure.
Pr 18:22 [Whoever] finds a wife finds
good and gets favor from the LORD.
Pr 19:14 . . . a prudent wife [is] from the
LORD.
>>>>5. Don't intimately and sexually touch
the wife/woman of any other man. It
is a matter of your life or your death.
>Ge 20:4 But Abimelech had not come
near her. And he said, Lord, will You
also kill a righteous nation?
Ge 20:6 And God said to him in a dream,
Yes, I know that you did this in the
sincerity of your heart. For I also
withheld you from sinning against Me.
Therefore I did not allow you to touch
her.
Ge 20:7 Now therefore, restore his wife
to the man. For he [is] a prophet,
and he shall pray for you, and you shall
live. And if you do not restore her,
know that you shall surely die, you, and
all that are yours.
Pr 6:26 For by means of a harlot [a man
comes] to a piece of bread; and
another man's wife will hunt for the
precious life. . . . 29 So is he who goes in
to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches
her shall not be innocent.
1Thess. 4:1 � For the rest, then, my
brothers, we beseech you and exhort
[you] in [the] Lord Jesus, that, as you
have received from us how you ought to
walk and to please God, so you would
abound more [and more]. 2 For we
know what commands we gave you by
the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of
God, your sanctification, for you to
abstain from fornication, 4 each one of
you to know how to possess his vessel in
sanctification and honor 5 (not in
the passion of lust, even as the nations
who do not know God), 6 not to go
beyond and defraud his brother in this
matter (because the Lord [is the]
avenger concerning all these, as we also
have forewarned you and testified).
7 For God has not called us to
uncleanness, but in sanctification. 8
Therefore
he who despises does not despise man,
but God, who also has given us His
Holy Spirit.
>>>>6. Do you want to enjoy life so much that
you aren't really conscious of time
passing? Passionately, affectionately,
emotionally, mentally, spiritually,
physically, sexually and enthusiastically
compassionately cherish your
princess and noble wife.
>Ge 29:20 And Jacob served seven years
for Rachel, and they seemed to him
a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me]
my wife, for my days are fulfilled, so
that I may go in to her.
Proverbs 5: 18 Let your fountain be
blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your
youth. 19 [Like] the loving deer and
pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy you
at all times, and be ravished [orgasmic]
always with her love.
>>>>7. If your woman is hurting so bad,
grieving so much, so distraught, so upset,
so troubled that she makes a decision,
says something, does something that
you know is hurtful, not edifying,
regrettable for her----intervene as God's
head in your home and act to set right
that which you know is wrong, gently
and humbly looking to Jesus.
>Ge 35:18 And it happened as her soul
was departing (for she died) that she
called his name Benoni [son of my
sorrow]. But his father called him
Benjamin [son of the right hand].
1 Corinthians 11: 3 But I would have you
know that the head of every man is
Christ; and the head of the [wife] [is] the
[husband]; and the head of Christ
[is] God.
Galatians 6: 1 � Brothers, if a [person] is
overtaken in a fault, you the
spiritual ones restore such a one in the
spirit of meekness, considering
yourself, lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear
one another's burdens, and so you
will fulfill the law of Christ.
>>>>8. If one of your women (sister,
daughter, aunt, mother) is a widow, BE
THERE FOR HER! Be part of the wind in
her sails! Be a part of her bridge
over troubled waters! Bear her up and
proclaim that she isn't heavy, she's
one of your women! If she needs food or
drink, she sees you bringing food. If
she's short on clothing or rent, she sees
you filling the need, standing in the
gap. If she's being attacked by Satan
sexually, missing and yearning for the
sweet loving of her departed husband, so
that she slips and sins too often for
soul peace in the Lord and is burning in
the struggle with her heart's and
body's----then you fast and pray with
her trusting God to keep His promise
and meet her need of a godly husband
and bless her with sexual fulfillment in
marriage.
>Ge 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his
first-born, whose name [was]
Tamar. . . 11 Then said Judah to Tamar,
his daughter-in-law, Remain a
widow at your father's house until
Shelah my son is grown. For he said, Lest
perhaps he die also, as his brothers [did].
And Tamar went and lived in her
father's house. . . 26 And Judah
acknowledged [them], and said, She has
been more righteous than I have, because I
did not give her to my son Shelah. And
he never knew her again.
Deuteronomy 25:5 � If brothers live
together, and one of them dies and has
no child, the wife of the dead shall not
marry outside to a stranger. Her
husband's brother [married or single]
shall go in to her and take her as a wife
for himself, and perform the duty of a
husband's brother to her. 6 And it shall
be, the first-born whom she bears shall
succeed in the name of his dead
brother, so that his name may not be put
out of Israel. 7 And if the man does
not want to take his brother's wife, then
let his brother's wife go up to the
gate to the elders and say, My husband's
brother refuses to raise up a name
in Israel to his brother. He will not
perform my levirate. 8 Then the elders
of his city shall call him and speak to him.
And [if] he stands and says, I do not
desire to take her, 9 then his brother's
wife shall come to him in the presence
of his elders, and take off his shoe from
his foot, and spit in his face, and shall
answer and say, So shall it be done to
that man who will not build up his
brother's house. 10 And his name shall
be called in Israel, The house of him
who has his shoe taken off.
1 Timothy 5: 8 But if any one does not
provide for his own, and specially for
those of [his] house, he has denied the
faith, and is worse than the
unbeliever. 9 Let a widow be put upon
the list, being of not less than sixty
years, [having been] wife of one man, 10
borne witness to in good works, if
she have brought up children, if she
have exercised hospitality, if she have
washed saints' feet, if she have imparted
relief to the distressed, if she have
diligently followed every good work. 11
But younger widows decline; for
when they >feel the impulses of sexual
desire contrary to< Christ, they
desire to marry, [>See Arndt &
Gingrich,Thayer,Strong's; 1Cor.7:9<]
12 being guilty, because they have
>broken their first pledged/promised
faithfulness<. >[See Arndt &
Gingrich,Thayer,Strong's; i.e. they have
failed to control themselves in the
manner to which they had committed
themselves in Christ- - - -1Cor.7:9=But if
they have not control over
themselves, let them marry; for it is
better to marry than to burn.]<
13 And, at the same time, they learn
also [to be] idle, going about to people's
houses; and not only idle, but also
gossipers and meddlers, speaking things
not becoming. 14 I will therefore that
the younger marry, bear children, rule
the house, give no occasion to the
adversary in respect of reproach. 15 For
already some have turned aside after
Satan. [1Corinth.7:5= Defraud
not one another, unless, it may be, by
consent for a time, that you may devote
yourselves to prayer, and again be
together, that Satan tempt you not
because of your incontinency.]
16 If any believing man or woman have
widows, let them impart relief to
them, and let not the assembly be
charged, that it may impart relief to
those
[that are] widows indeed.
>>>>9. When Jesus created Adam and Eve
and gave them to each other, they were
totally equal in every way before and
under Jesus. Then Adam and Eve
disobeyed and dishonored Jesus. The
consequences you can read below, but
among them is the statement that the
husband shall rule over the wife--
NOT "the husband is commanded to rule
over his wife". Compassionately
cherish your wife by acknowledging that
your headship over your wife is a
consequence of sin, not the original plan
of Jesus. Compassionately cherish
your wife by acknowledging that Eve
and your wife were not commanded
then to submit to their husband's rule.
The husband's rule WAS ONLY
PREDICTED as God's plan for them in
their relationship. Compassionately cherish your wife by
being the godly head of the marriage
that realizes that being head is an
accountability position, accountable for
the marriage to Jesus who is his Head.
Compassionately cherish your wife
by being the head of the marriage who
DOES NOT USE LORDSHIP over
his wife, who DOES NOT EXERCISE
AUTHORITY on his wife, but who
esteems her better than himself and
himself the lesser who is to serve Jesus
Christ in her. Compassionately cherish
your wife by accepting God's
statement that it must be her decision
and her choice to put herself in
subjection to you, her husband.
Compassionately cherish your wife by
accepting Jesus command that you, her
husband, are never in the Word
commanded to make or coerce her to put
herself into subjection to you---
accepting the command of Jesus that you
must not use lordship or exercise
your authority over her, NOT LORDING
OVER HER, but humbly and
meekly teaching and spiritually feeding
her, being a living example before
her eyes of how she should live and act
in the marriage. And if she rejects
your headship, spurns your teaching and
exampling, and despises your
service to her, then you commit yourself
to compassionately cherishing her in
the manner prescribed in Matthew
18:15-20; Galatians 6:1,2; 2 Timothy
2:24-26.
>Gen. 2: 16 � To the woman He said, I
will greatly increase your sorrow and
your conception. In pain you shall bear
sons, and your desire shall be toward
your husband, and he shall rule over
you. 17 � And to Adam He said, Because
you have listened to the voice of your
wife and have eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded you, saying, You
shall not eat [of] it! The ground [is]
cursed for your sake. In pain shall you
eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It
shall also bring forth thorns and thistles
to you, and you shall eat the herb of
the field. 19 In the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread until you return to
the ground, for out of it you were taken.
For dust you [are], and to dust you
shall return.
1 Corinthians 11: 3 But I would have you
know that the head of every man is
Christ; and the head of the [wife is] the
[husband]; and the head of Christ [is]
God.
Luke 22: 25 And He said to them, The
kings of the nations exercise lordship
over them. And they who exercise
authority on them are called benefactors.
26 But you [shall] not [be] so: but the
greater among you, let him be as the
lesser, and he who governs, as [one] who
serves. 27 For which [is] the
greater; he who reclines, or he who
serves? [Is] it not he who reclines? But I
am among you as He who serves.
1 Peter 3:1 � Likewise, wives, [be] in
subjection to your own husbands, so that
if any do not obey the word, they may
also be won without the word by the
conduct of the wives, 2 having witnessed
your chaste behavior in [the] fear
[of God]. 3 Of whom let not be the
adorning of garments, or outward
braiding of hair and wearing of gold, or
of putting on clothing, 4 but [let it be]
the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, the meek and
quiet spirit, which is of great price in the
sight of God. 5 For so once indeed
the holy women hoping in God adorned
themselves, being in subjection to
their own husbands; 6 as Sarah obeyed
Abraham, calling him lord; whose
children you became, doing good and
fearing no terror. 7 Likewise,
husbands, live together according to
knowledge, giving honor to the wife as
to the weaker vessel, the female, as truly
[being] co-heirs together of [the]
grace of life, not cutting off your prayers.
1 Peter 5:1 � I exhort the elders
[leaders/rulers] who are among you, . . .
2
Feed the flock of God among you, taking
the oversight, not by compulsion,
but willingly; . . . 3 nor as lording it over
those allotted [to you by God], but
becoming examples to the flock. 4 And
when the Chief Shepherd shall
appear, you shall receive a never-fading
crown of glory.
>>>>We are instructed to examine and
scrutinize ourselves in order to deal
with and correct or erroneous ways so
Jesus wont have to chasten/discipline
us (1Cor.11).

6:1,2; 2 Timothy 2:24-26?
>>>>How did you do? This godly behavior is
not natural and doesn't come
naturally. Only Jesus, by His Spirit, can
work in you to want to do it. Only
Jesus, by His Spirit, can enable and
activate you, doing it in you as you yield
your body, soul and spirit to Him. Only
Jesus can compassionately cherish
your wife these ways through you, so
reckon yourself dead indeed to your
own selfish ways and yield yourself
entirely to Him to make you His
ambassador of Love, Truth, Light and
Life to your beloved women.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE FEEDING
OF TWO LEGGED OXEN.
I am not trying to meddle or cause trouble. I
just want to know if there are any mistakes in the
ideas above in terms of scripture alone, not in terms
of the condemned traditions and doctrines of people
(Mark 7).I really want to know what the Bible says
about the subjects discussed above. I want to live by
every Word of God, not by the commandments and
traditions of man (Mat. 15, Mark 7 and Colos 2).
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY AND ALL ERRORS (TYPOS,
DOCTRINAL, ETC.) THAT YOU FIND. PLEASE GIVE ME
CLEAR AND EXPLICIT SCRIPTURES DEALING WITH
THE ERROR WHEN YOU WRITE. I WANT THE WORD,
NOT OPINIONS AND PARADIGMS.
Any and all donations are welcomed for the
furthering and the expense of this very controversial
ministry. Donations are welcome for the furthering of
this ministry. It has taken a great deal of time. If the
information in this work has ministered to you, I
would appreciate your ministry to me to get this
information out and to the Church. Otherwise I have
to "make tents". If I time from "making tents"
permits, this work will be revised monthly. In the
next publication/distribution I hope to provide the
actual texts for all references.
Ro 15:27 Truly it has pleased them, and they are their
debtors. For if the
nations have been made partakers of their spiritual
things, their duty is also
to minister to them in carnal things.
1 Cor. 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, "You
shall not muzzle the
mouth of the ox treading out grain." Does God take
care for oxen? 10 Or does
He say [it] altogether for our sakes? It was written for
us, so that he who
plows should plow [in] hope, and so that he who
threshes [in] hope should be
partaker of his hope. 11 If we have sown to you
spiritual things, [is it] a great
thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 12 If others
have a share of [this]
authority [over] you, rather [should] not we? But we
have not used this
authority, but we endured all things lest we should
hinder the gospel of
Christ.
13 Do you not know that those who minister about
holy things live [of the things] of the temple? And
those attending the altar are partakers with the altar.
14 Even so, the Lord ordained those announcing the
gospel to live from the gospel.Galatians 6:6 But let him
who is taught in the Word share with the [one]
teaching in all good things.
1Ti 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted
worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in
word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, "You
shall not muzzle the ox treading out grain," and, "The
laborer [is] worthy of his reward."
