In the sermon 'Women of Faith in Babylon' by Kevin Swanson, women, particularly mothers, are encouraged to embody faith and follow the example of great women of God from the past. They are urged to love their lives, families, and embrace submission to their husbands as part of their faith journey. The sermon highlights the importance of mothers in establishing and furthering the Kingdom of God by raising children in the nurture of the Lord and instilling a vision of godly womanhood. This involves guiding daughters to become supportive partners to their husbands and effective home managers, known in Greek as 'oikos despoteles,' while maintaining a quiet spirit appreciated by God. The vision extends to raising both sons and daughters according to biblical principles outlined in Scripture, promoting a holistic approach to faith and family life.
Mothers, they absolutely must be women of faith, women who follow in the footsteps of those great women of God who have gone before them. They need to love life, they need to love their children, they need to love their husbands, submit to their husbands of the Lord. They need to really seek to establish the Kingdom of God and further the Kingdom of God through having children, raising their children, the nurture of the Lord, and really embracing God's vision for motherhood, for womanhood, and we find that in Scripture. And I think we convey that to our daughters as well. We have to raise our daughters with a vision for godly womanhood, to be help meats for their husbands, to be oikos despoteles or home managers in the home, to be of that quiet spirit that is of such a beautiful thing to God.
So that's the vision. We bring the vision of godly womanhood back in. Mothers will exemplify that for their daughters and then we raise our sons and daughters according to the vision that God has laid down in His Word for our sons and daughters.
