56 Alison,

Thanks much, Cheryl. The whole debate is much like a dog chasing is own tail sometimes; funny to watch, but not funny to actually be the dog chasing its tail. I say that because I’ve felt like the dog: I’ve felt like I’ve hit on answers through the Spirit, only to be told by a comp that what I’ve hit on is wrong.

I understand what you are saying. There are going to be many people who want to squash the Holy Spirit’s work because when it comes to the work that He does through women, frankly it scares them. They have followed tradition so long that they think the breath of fresh air that the Holy Spirit brings is the spirit of the age. And their fear keeps them from even hearing the other side. So these people must stop you too so that their position stays strong. Human tradition is a very difficult thing to fight against.
