God's Feminine Hall of Fame

Our friend Ron,has referred to the Shulamite maiden of Song of Songs as possibly a picture of the ego or soul. I would have to heartily agree that that is a grand picture of the soul as are all the women of the Bible.

She tells us of her beloved wooing her into a more intimate union: “Rise up, My Love, my fair one, and come away….to their home upon the mountain of spices.”

The daughters of Jerusalem do not understand her praise of her lover friend and implore her to tell them where they too can find such love. And she replied,

“My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens and to gather lilies. I am my beloved’s garden…”
Oh glorious truth for our garden to be tended by such a Lover extraordinaire!

Eve representing the soul, the feminine, or intuition, was taken from Adam for its development and expansion, because what is true in the heavens has played out in the earth.

At creation God took out of himself, or from his side his feminine. All of creation is representative of the feminine of God or the soul of God. We are God’s soul expressed. The woman is always the carrier-womb for the seed to be planted in and to form for the man what is only possible as potential in seed form while contained in the man. So she forms for him a life. She gives the Life-Seed a living. We give God a living. She takes what has been held in potential as a seed and unfolds it and grows it into manifestation.

And just as God took out of himself a woman, a creation, Jesus likewise, did this at the cross when his side was pierced. Out of him flowed the blood and water. Isn’t that what is present at every natural birth? His soul, his feminine, was birthing a child from the depths of his heart-womb, which was the church of Jesus Christ, his bride.

As most women are wont to do in the throes of birthpangs, his soul, his woman also called out in pain, “My God, My God why hast thou forsaken me? [the Aramaic rendition of that passage says, “My God, My God, for this purpose was I born!” Either way, it is the cry of the soul with feminine birthpangs.

Lets look at a few other ‘women’ in the Bible and see how they teach of the soul’s development.

How about Queen Esther?

Vashti, who was presently the king’s wife, refused to come when bidden. This is the carnal part of the soul that does not want to be ruled by the king or by the spirit because she thinks she is a queen or authority that can be a ruling queen quite separate and apart from her king, or the spirit.

But the king or the spirit has the last say. She is dethroned and in her place a beautiful virgin (the unpenetrated part of our minds that have never been touched by man but has been reserved only for the king’s pleasure) is taken for a bride. She, although a virgin, still had to go through twelve months of preparation. Six months anointed with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and spices.

We will have to drink from the same cup that our Savior drank from to qualify for the throne.

The ‘twelve’, the government of God, the governing principles of spirit will have to be present along with the burial myrrh anointing oil… the burial, the riddance of all that would entice us away from a pure union with spirit. And thanks be to our Most High for the gracious anointing perfumes of his presence and the delicious spices of his blessings and baptisms which seal us unto him and him alone and make this process worth it all.

In the end Esther, the soul, comes in unto the king (spirit) and brings about a great deliverance for her kin (the body). The soul, the spirit and body salvation are pictured here for us in each of these characters.

So many pictures of the feminine to glean truth from – how about the woman taken in adultery?

Was she guilty in this matter? Yes, caught red handed evidently. Is this scriptural account teaching that Jesus just ignored her condition or did he love her into a new place in her life? Was he offering her a new reality to live by? When he told her, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more”, he not only did not hold her sins or her errors against her, but imparted life to her that I’m sure she went away saying “Never a man spake like this man did to me.”

The soul living in adultery has to have a character adjustment or alignment to be able to walk in the spirit. And a genuine encounter with Living Truth will not leave you in the same condition that it found you.

How about the woman at the well?

This soul had had so many different alliances with ‘men’ and was even now consorting with another that when asked by This Man at the well to give him a drink, was totally taken aback. She had wandered so far from her true identity and had given all her power away to what was not true that she was unable to recognize God’s Gift Man of Living Water that stood not only entreating her but offering her waters from an unknown-to-her-well. But something about his penetrating words, entranced her, wooed her, and such a desire for Living Water arose in her that she entreated him: “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never get thirsty, nor have to come here to draw.” [“I want to draw from a new well of life”]

So many truths hidden in plain view, so many examples to ‘draw’ from….

How about the woman with the issue of blood?

This is a soul who has spent all of her power to find answers, or all of her life-blood is draining away from her and still she is an unrequited soul. But she has heard that there is a Man about town, who is offering hope. “There’s something about him that is not like the other physicians or metaphysicians that I have given all my substance to, perhaps if I could but touch into what makes him tick, I too could experience that same power and vitality.” She pressed through the crowd of all her doubts and touched into that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead and her issue of blood was quenched, his virtue quickened her from her mortal illness that was leaching her life away.

Or how about Sara who had a nature change into Sarah (a female noble or a princess) from one who laughed at the possibility of bringing forth Life for, after all, she had never been able to up until now, so why should she think it possible after her ‘womb’ had atrophied. This is a soul who feels past hope, but has a divine intervention and rendezvous with angels (higher spirit thoughts).

Dare we to speak also of Deborah the Judge, God’s Warrior Woman that will champion you into the greatest of overcoming victories vanquishing all your doubtful foes ( unbelieving thoughts)……



Miriam, Mary, Rebecah, Leah, Rachael, Sapphira…….they all lived as great lessons of the state and progress or regress of the soul or the feminine part of us.

To experience or to have awakened in your soul what you true identity is, is CONCEPTION – it is the planting of the seed of truth in the womb of the mind and you are definitely pregnant when in that reality, but if you want to be a Mary, you will have to carry that seed to full term and also BIRTH your reality.

Just BEING pregnant is not the same as bringing forth life. Yes, you are carrying life, no doubt, (the life you are carrying is the Christ in you your hope of glory, your hope of birthing a Manchild) and some are ‘showing’ very clearly and prominently, but hopefully we will not abort or miscarry the baby before its full grown development or it may not be able to sustain life outside of the womb. Push girls, push, the Head is Crowning even Now! [this includes all the men too, you know]

Now some of you may be ready with pen or keyboard in hand to heartily disagree because it is the way of these discussion boards. If you already know everything that God knows and can do everything that God can do, please, just disregard this post. But perhaps others might be gracious enough to intuit behind these few words a wish for the highest and best for all in spirit, soul and body as they “apprehend that for which they have been apprehended.”

Dear Karen,
I am really lifted up by this reading and many others that you have posted here and elsewhere.
A few years ago, while driving to the grocery store, I heard, " you have a thousand babies in your womb". I pray that if they haven't already been birthed that they soon will be. thanks for such insight and in-courage-ments. love you deeply, Pam in Texas

Dear Pam,

THANK YOU! for your kind words and encouragement to me...
And yes all those whom you "carry", I see as those that are written in our Book of Life...that may be our own DNA, it connects us to untold numbers in our generations and we become an enlightened "womb of consciousness" in the spirit realm travailing to bring creation to birth in Christ.

"Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says the Lord; shall I Who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says the Lord" Isa. 66:9

Praise God!! No, He will not shut our womb...we shall deliver the Manchild of promise, the Desire of all Nations!

Much love to you Pam.
Karen
