Every woman on this planet should listen to the series ‘The Proverbs 31 Woman’. I just listened and it has changed my life. When I began to listen, I told God I am so far from this kind of Godly woman. I wanted to turn it off. But the Lord kept pushing me on! I now understand it is about the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). The inner man. A meek and quiet spirit. One who isn’t easily provoked to anger. They will put up with injuries done to them and not retaliate. Quietly submitting all to God. Believing others better than herself (Philippians 2:3). This has not been my nature. As I always have been a fighter. Believing I had to fight for my rights. To keep people from trampling on me! Now the Lord says give that up! Stop fighting for yourself and fight for me! Fight the good fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12. Let me give you a meek and quiet spirit which is in my sight a great price. This is the whole adorning of a Proverbs 31 Woman. The outward beauty is esteemed by men but the inward beauty is esteemed by God! Amen!” Karen Cochran

WHY ARE WOMEN SO UNDER ATTACK IN THIS LAST HOUR BEFORE CHRIST’S RETURN?

The reason women are so under bombardment, unrelenting attack from the enemy of souls, is due to the power of a God fearing woman!

God fearing women are pleasant, full of the love, joy, and peace of God (Galatians 5:22-23). They are the LORD’s treasure and consequently an inestimable blessing to all. Proverbs 31. Nothing replaces a God-fearing woman.

“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” 1 Timothy 2:9-15

Ladies, if you don’t view your marriage as your place to humbly, quietly SERVE God by serving your husband and children, you are out of His will and in need of repentance. One pastor said “Women have the highest place in Christ’s kingdom – servant” (Matthew 23:11). Read, pour prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 each morning this week. Cry out to God to break you to the core of your being. Let it be dear LORD, in Jesus’ name. It’s time to get down low beloved of God… go deep into the death of Christ that He might raise you upward in His grace and for His eternal glory! HE is able! We must do things His way and no other – the way of the cross (Luke 9:23-24).

“I listened to the Proverbs 31 women series and I’m touched. Thank you for your ministry.” T.

“WOW!!! This series is EXCELLENT!!! I just finished part 3 on the Proverbs 31 series; that is EXCELLENT teaching and… my-my-my, you have really hit it on the nail about churches allowing self-proclaiming Jezebel in (pastors wife, prophetesses, intercessors, garbage, etc). It’s an excellent teaching that really exposes how apostate “churches” are! This series is an answer to PRAYER because I had been asking God to direct or connect me to this very thing. I’ve got to start reading my King James Bible now. I’ll be starting part 4 this evening. Powerful truths in this series that I’ve NEVER heard in any church, but it’s all King James Bible truth!” A. (More comments from listeners below)

The virtuous woman takes good, loving care of her husband, children, and is very industrious. In Proverbs 31 we see she sold real estate, made clothes (textiles) etc. She is a magnificent creation of a great and loving God – for HIS purposes and not her own.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Proverbs 31:10

There is nothing in God’s creation so beautiful as HIS women, the virtuous woman. Why would any dear lady want anything less? 

The content of this video addresses our Maker’s original purpose and blessing of the female. This is a refreshing and yet resolute exploration and declaration of God-fearing womanhood that has and is transforming lives. The godly woman is irreplaceable. Satan knows this and from the Garden of Eden till today, unceasingly seeks to derail women with an alternate, iniquitous, rebellious image of what God has designed and ordained for women. Any woman not pouring prayerfully over Holy Scripture concerning the LORD’s purpose, design, mandate and will for women, is completely deceived and the prey of the wicked one.

God ordains that women are to be protected under the servant leadership of Godly men.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS SERIES:

“I have enjoyed listening to this.” Penny

“We love this podcast!” (From a lady who serves in a ministry group to incarcerated women, etc.)

I’m currently listening to this series. I love it. There are lots of gems that I can apply to my own life that I did not know before. Everything mentioned is backed up with scriptures…. (later) Loved the Proverbs 31 podcast series. A must for every woman.” Maureen Lundie

“Awesome I think God is getting ready to move on a Bible study in my home. I’m praying that He sends the right women and this Proverbs 31 audio series is what I’m going to use to help us be what The Lord created us to be biblically! Your ministry is such a magnificent gift and blessings to my family! I’m praying my daughter joins in this study.” Cassandra

EXCELLENT and beautiful truth that was well said. Sad to say we don’t see enough of this truth due to the loss of reverent fear of God in the churches due to pride. That overflows into marriages, and the children seemed to had to pay the price for this lack of obedience. Thanks for posting this!” Nancy Cote

I’ve been listening to these podcasts all week, love this teaching, even sent it to another friend.” Laurie Cox

I just finished listening to your audio on women who fear God, Proverbs 31 Women. Amazing! How the devil keeps women in bondage to the lie that he tells us! So glad I listened again. This is so helpful and freeing. Keep standing your ground. God is in this mightily.” CB

“Hallelujah I got to listen to your podcast on the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman ???❤️❤️❤️❤️! What a wonderful magnificent blessed gift of God to be a virtuous woman”” Cassandra

“This series was a real blessing. It was an excellent teaching. Honestly, it changed my life and my marriage. Now I realize many of the problems in my marriage were actually being caused by my not being fully submitted to God’s Word in this area. I have always sought to please the Lord, but we are unable to do that unless we are willing to deny ourselves and heed the full counsel of God’s Word and sound instruction. After completing this series on the family, Jezebel was broken in me! I wept for days in repentance and sorrow for my sin. I had a renewed sense of purpose and regained the joy of my calling to being a godly wife, a mother and a keeper of the home. Praise God!!!! Our mother’s sold us into the slavery of feminism and the lie of seeking self-esteem instead of the Savior and we as women who fear God are having to break free from these false gods of self. The Lord is able to deliver if we will simply humble ourselves, listen, and obey.” S.T.


“This teaching is very good. Great to know you’ve got a backbone. Great truth that the family came before the church. The family is our greatest ministry.” Jeni N.


“This is so good!!” Gina Mondello


“God is so kind and merciful, brother, it’s beyond adequate words, I cannot fully express his kindness and mercy towards me, a sinner. I used to have a horrific… and I mean HORRIFIC Jezebel spirit in my life… and I made my married life miserable. I admit it and I’m so sorry I did! It was in 2008 that God opened my eyes to Jezebel and I repented… and in the process I had to apologize to my husband several times and remind him several times that he leads this family with Christ as his head. It’s a process… and God has done a lot of cleaning inside me… it’s not over, but I have to tell you… our married life is running so much better now! It is very relaxing and enjoyable.” A.


“This is a needed message and right on the mark. Listening was time very well spent. Thanks.” Chris S.


“It’s wonderful.” Gayle


“You have just freed me of my role in the woman’s place in the Church.” Carol B.


“Very good teaching!!” Stephanie P.


“It was such a blessing to listen through – Very good study! Fresh inspiration and encouragement! It made me very happy to hear the truth of the Word and also God’s heart behind it being expressed! (Oh how that can drastically change the view when that is understood!) I also appreciated the balance of the message. It reveals the wicked woman’s ways. It causes God fearing men and women alike to tremble at the thought of ever being ensnared by the likes or ever becoming like her! To my joy and inspiration, you were very expressive of God’s heart about godly women also! How encouraging it was to hear the godly woman spoken of so lovingly and her nature and works so esteemed, making obvious that she was considered as equally valuable and loved. Yet, not changing her role to try to prove it.” Michelle M.


“People don’t know what “shamefacedness” is anymore. I had to look it up, myself (in summa theologica). But it’s really based on fear of God; fear of disappointing Him by allowing immoral thoughts or deeds (or perhaps the perception of them, of being identified with them) in our lives. The ability to blush. An innocence of heart that wants no part with evil.” Jane Clark


“Excellent. What a wonderful encouragement to women today who don’t hear this Scripture taught and don’t see much of it lived out around them. We are blasted on every side, and at every turn, by the world and its ways of thinking which are NOT according to God’s Word and will … and therefore are Antichrist. God has called us to “come out from among them” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Christ is our only true “Liberator” and has set us free from the bondage of darkness — Satan and his power that is so evident in our world today — to embrace fully all of what God created us for and who He calls us to be.” Debbie L.


“This podcast changed my life. I realized I am not naturally a Proverbs women. And need to be taught by the Lord. The only way to become a Proverbs 31 woman is to be totally surrendered to Jesus. It’s about the hidden man of the heart. 1 Peter 3:4. The inner man that only God can change. The Lord can give us a meek and quiet spirit. Total opposite of my nature. As I learned while I listened to this podcast.” Karen Cochran

Bearing the Precious Seed of God’s Word [podcast]


“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (harvest) with him.” Psalms 126:5-6 

A harvest of blessed souls is going to be the result, the ministry produce, the fruit of all who bear and distribute, scatter the seed of the incorruptible Word of God into the hearts of men (1 Peter 1:23).

The LORD didn’t say “go explain who I am to other people.” No, He said “preach the word” and “preach the gospel” (2 Timothy 4:2; Mark 16:15).

Our cute little thoughts and sayings are not even within the same universe of power as the Word of God. Obey God. “Preach the word” (2 Timothy 4:2). We can’t explain someone into salvation. No, only God can draw and convict the lost soul and He instructed us to simply communicate His Word to them.

Instead of doing just another little video of yourself or posting a nice little saying, trying to entice people to Christ, why not just post HIS Word – the KJB? You and I have no power to save anyone, not even yourself (John 6:44; 12:32). Only Jesus can do that and He told you to go preach His Gospel and not try to entertain people into His kingdom (Mark 16:15).

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it SHALL accomplish that which I please, and it SHALL prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

When this revelation (recorded for us in Isaiah 55:11) truly hits and settles in your heart, you will never be the same.

People need to hear from God, not us. Have you memorized Isaiah 55:11?

IF Jesus taught something and we’re not teaching it – it’s because we are not following Him correctly – on HIS stated terms (Matthew 28:18-20; John 8:47; 2 Timothy 3:16; 4:2-4, etc.). Are you following Jesus Christ or mere man? Do you preach Christ and His doctrines from HIS Word or are you just regurgitating the pitiful poisons of mere men?

We are still very wise in our own conceits. May the LORD bless us to true repentance with the fruit of allowing God to speak for Himself by simply giving people His Word in His love and wisdom (Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.).

Leveling endless explanations of the faith is futility if the person communicating is not speaking God’s very Word! God’s words are all-powerful because He spoke them and He alone is ALL-mighty. The Source of God’s words is God Himself and so inherent in His words are His power, His presence, His conviction (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Revelation 1:8, etc.).

The Word of God must become the emphasis and not us, not our wonderful, skillful explanations of who God is. After all, have we forgotten that He is infinite and we finite? Are we not but dust? See Psalms 103:14. Regrettably, many in our day have been elevated in the church world for being able to render endless explanations in their international apologetics ministries. Most of these same men used very little if any Scripture which means they helped no one. Many of those in the “Christian” audiences that elevated these men simply wanted to see the arguments of the enemy of souls defeated and not to be grounded deeply in God’s Word for themselves. One such man was the late Ravi Zacharias.

The Words of the Divine vs the Dust

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:23-25 

The “incorruptible seed” is the Word of God, it’s power packed with divine energy. If we are but “dust” before the Almighty, does that not convey just how futile it is to attempt to explain God and His will? Shall we choose to trust the divine or the mere dust created by the divine?

“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” Psalms 103:13-16

It’s not that we don’t speak our own words also in communicating to others in ministry, yet the substance of what we communicate in those moments is not our words but rather God’s words. He is divine and we are but dust.

In 1 Peter 1:23 Scripture informs us that people are “born again” by the “incorruptible seed” of the Word of God, not our explanation, not by our words.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

It’s the Word that never returns back to God void, not our explanation. If you wish to be used of God powerfully, you must read, study, be resourceful with, and communicate HIS words.

When you encounter a person in darkness, don’t take it personally. No, rather, see it as an opportunity to kindly plant the seed of the Word of God in their heart – which never returns back to the LORD void but always accomplishes that which pleases Him (Isaiah 55:11). “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16).

The emphasis should not be on our ability to explain God but rather on his word and simply obeying him by preaching it. It’s the incorruptible seed that brings conviction of salvation not our words.

Did the LORD command His people to go explain to others who He is or to simply “preach the gospel”? Mark 16:15

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

When you read, when you are daily studying God’s Word, do so with the truth in mind that God wants you learning of Him for your own relationship with Him and also to help others.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 6

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15

Our LORD Jesus studied and knew the Word well. Notice how the Son of God readily navigated through the Holy Scriptures to find the exact Scripture He wanted to communicate:

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written…” Luke 4:17

Notice another prominent biblical example of how true elders of Christ, as they stand before one or many people, put full emphasis on God’s Words and not their own. They concentrate and put full priority in God’s Word and not their own explanations:

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8

  1. read in the book in the law of God distinctly”
  2. gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.”

Note how these godly elders read God’s Word to the people and then gave the sense of it. This speaks for itself and reveals to us just who is a godly elder and who isn’t. Rare is the man today, in this late hour, who reads Scripture upon Scripture to the people. Many are so busy giving you their explanation that they have no concern that you are hearing the actual, literal words of the LORD. Sad.

Regrettably lots of people brag about their pastor and how he (supposedly) preaches the Word. In most cases it’s obvious that they’re telegraphing that they trust him, the mere man, the pastor and have no life with Christ in His Word daily for themselves – which the LORD commands (2 Timothy 2:15). Hell is full of people who took men at their word instead of loving God enough to find out what He said in HIS Word for themselves firsthand. Sad. If you don’t love God enough to pour over His words, His instructions, His promises, and His doctrines and warnings for yourself, you are in utter need of true repentance and to seek His holy face continually (1 Chronicles 16:11).

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:13-17

Preach the Word

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The Parable of the Seed Growing

“And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” Mark 4:26-29 

Getting in on the Gospel action begins with a simple prayer, perhaps something like this …. LORD, please prepare and use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

“Simple Concerning Evil” [podcast]


Holy Scripture uses the phrase “simple concerning evil.”

“For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple (innocent) concerning evil.” Romans 16:19

“But I would have you – Not only obedient, but discreet also. Wise with regard to that which is good – As knowing in this as possible. And simple with regard to that which is evil – As ignorant of this as possible.” John Wesley

Concerning Romans 16:19 Donald Stamps writes:

“God wants believers to be innocent (Gk. akeraios) in what is evil; this word means ‘unmixed’ or ‘pure,’ i.e., innocent like a child whose mind has not yet been exposed to evil or mixed with the values of the world (cf.1 Cor. 14:20). (1) This biblical principle is in direct opposition to the idea advocated by some that children of Christians should be exposed to sin, immorality, ungodliness, and the things of Satan in order to learn to confront temptation. Some suggest that children need not be guarded from ungodliness. However, according to biblical revelation, the philosophy is not only against God’s will for the believer, but also represents Satan’s own desire that everyone be exposed to the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 3:5). (2) Knowledge of evil, along with continual exposure to Satan’s ways, will lead many from the path of faith and obedience. Lot found this out to his deep sorrow, losing his entire family for this reason (Gen. 13:12-13; 19:1-38). Scripture warns that ‘evil communications’ (i.e., company) corrupt good manners (1 Cor. 15:33), and that ‘Jesus Christ … gave himself … that he might deliver us from this present evil world’ (Gal. 1:3-4). Those who advocate exposing innocent children to an ungodly environment and/or influence are in danger of violating Jesus’ warning in Matthew 18:6. (3) Believers should do all within their means and power to guard their children from being exposed to the deceitfulness and sin and the perverseness of this generation. To refuse to protect our children in this respect disregards the Holy Spirit’s desire that they be innocent and babes regarding what is evil.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 1959

Spoil the innocence of a child or others and God will spoil, bring ruin to you.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

“Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.” 1 Corinthians 14:20

Concerning the fact and principle of offering children to Satan on the altar of Moloch, one source notes the following:

“Based on historical and biblical accounts, child sacrifice to Moloch was a Canaanite and Phoenician ritual, often described as offering children to a deity in a “tophet” (place of burning). Scholars interpret this act as a desperate attempt to appease a god associated with the underworld or to ensure divine favor in exchange for the ultimate sacrifice.

Why Children Were Offered to Moloch:

Appeasement of a Deity: Moloch (or Mlk) is identified by some scholars as an underworld deity or a Phoenician god linked to the underworld, requiring the ultimate sacrifice to ensure favor or safety.”

“Lot … Pitched His Tent Toward Sodom”

“Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13  But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.” Genesis 13:12-13

Of the act of Lot pitching his tent toward Sodom, the late Donald Stamps wrote:

“PITCHED HIS TENT TOWARD SODOM. Lot’s great failure was that he loved personal gain more than he hated the wickedness of Sodom (v10-13). (1) If he had loved righteousness sufficiently (see Heb. 1:9), it would have caused him to remain separate from the wicked ways of sinful people. Instead he tolerated evil and chose to live in wicked Sodom (v13). Perhaps he reasoned that the material advantages, culture, and pleasures of Sodom outweighed the dangers, and that he was strong enough to remain faithful to God. Thus, he exposed himself and his family to the immorality, and ungodliness of Sodom, only to learn the bitter lesson that his family was not strong enough to resist its evil influences (Gen. 19:24-26; 30-38). (2) Parents must be careful not to place themselves or their children in a “Sodom,” lest they come to spiritual ruin as did the family of Lot.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 27

“Although Lot was distressed by the filthy deeds he saw and heard (2 Pet. 2:7-8), he still was willing to tolerate the wickeness of Sodom for social and material advantages (13:12 note). This compromise brought tragedy to his family (v24). Likewise, believers today who expose their families to ungodly environments and evil influences for social or material gain are setting themselves up for family tragedies.” Donald Stamps, Life in the Spirit Study Bible, p. 34

Gentlemen, if we lust for the things of this world, it will cause us to sacrifice God’s truth on the altar of our greed and cause needless destruction in our families.

Ephesians 5:1-17

“1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 

2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 

4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 

5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 

6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 

7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 

8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 

9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 

13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 

14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 

15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” 

“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:17-19

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Key to a pure, innocent heart…. is that the LORD Almighty is truly first in our lives, that we are truly one with Him—just as Jesus prayed in John 17. The futile god of self must be denounced, as well as the sin of spiritual adultery and idolatry.

“Keep thyself pure.” 1 Timothy 5:22

PRAYER: “LORD, right this moment, I release everything and everyone that I might be holding onto tighter than You….I will have no other god before You dear LORD…You Jesus Alone Are My LORD And Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.” Marlene Austin
