The most terrifying thing the Devil sees is not a woman in the boardroom, on a political stage, or behind a podcast mic. It’s a woman in the home raising her children in the fear of God, loving her husband, and building the next generation by faith. This is exactly what feminism hates. Instead of enhancing femininity, feminism obliterates it. So, here's the question, sisters: Has the boa constrictor started nibbling at your feet? Are there areas where feminism has crept in to your wardrobe, your schedule, your ambitions, your theology? If so, take aim with the word of God in one hand, and your calling in the other. Stand your ground—raise your children, help your husband, build your home, be a homemaker, be holy. Become the woman God created you to be. 

 

The scripture says that femininity is powerful, it's purposeful, it's beautiful, and it's terrifying to the devil. Feminism, instead of enhancing femininity, obliterates it. It erases womanhood. And we live in a world that can't even define what a woman is. I mean, you have Bruce Jenner being named the Woman of the Year, you have Rachel Levine, an actual male, appointed to the top health official in the United States.

You have a Judge Katanji Brown, who on national television can't define what a woman is during her Supreme Court confirmation. But the truth is, the feminist movement is erasing womanhood. First wave of feminism was telling us, you don't need your husband, nullify the patriarch, nullify your husband's vote. Second wave feminism is telling us, the home is a prison, you need to get out and have abortions, that'll help. The third wave of feminism was telling us gender is a social construct.

This is like in the 1980s and the 1990s. But the fourth wave of feminism, I'm gonna mark it from 2015 to the present. Get a sex change. Now, this is not liberation. This is incarceration.

This is the death of the beauties of femininity. Here's what you get. You either get feminism or familism. That assumes that God designed women for family, not fame. You either get androgyny or you get femininity, a person who embraces their femininity and apologetically.

You get individualism or you get generational legacy. This is a woman who raises her children to love the Lord, her daughters to love their husbands, and her sons to become godly men. You get pride versus submission. This is the woman who trusts in God's order, not her own pride. You get outward glamor or You get true beauty, inner beauty, the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.

You get entertainment or you get industry. Here you have a woman, a holy woman who builds, she works, she invests, and She's driving value into her home, just like the Proverbs 31 woman. The Christian woman is fearless before the world, just like Sarah, who is not frightened by any fear. She's fruitful in the home. She's faithful in the church.

She's not loud on Twitter. The world doesn't need more women acting like men. It needs women who are raising their children, helping their husbands, building their homes, being homemakers, being holy women of God who are fearless. The devil fears the woman who lives her life at home in joyful obedience. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever."
