When God Told A Great Man To Listen To His Wife's Voice

The man is question is Abraham, who God Himself called His friend, and is widely considered to be the the first patriarch of the Christian faith.

On this particular occasion Abraham was really angry with his wife, Sarah, because she told him to send away Hagar and her son Ishmael (whom she bore unto him), as Sarah didn't want Ishmael to share in the inheritance with her son, however God intervened and told Abraham to listen to his wife's voice!

Genesis 21:12 (KJV)

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

That's how God commanded Abraham despite his grievance at what his wife said, to listen the voice of his wife because according to God, what the wife was saying to him aligned with the plans He had for Abraham and his son, Isaac.

Therefore despite being initially angry with his wife because what she told him went against his own will and personal plans, being a true servant of God, he went against his own will and obeyed God and listened to his wife, Sarah's voice.

Genesis 21:14 (KJV)

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

So whenever we hear God call Abraham His friend, we can see another good reason why.

God bless.

Unfortunately such an instance that shows where God commanded a man to listen to the voice of his wife, could hardly be found being taught in the churches these days, despite being in the Bible which they claim to be the Word of God.

They only want to remember what happened in the beginning when God rebuked and punished Adam for listening to his wife's voice, because that aligns with their misguided orientation and preconceptions about women.

They don't realize that God wasn't angry with Adam and punished Him, because it was a sin or a bad thing for a man to ever listen to his wife's voice, but that on that particular occasion his wife's voice didn't represent God's Word, but that of the devil which went against God's Word and hence made him sin against God.

But whenever the voice of a man's wife represents the Word of God and aligns with God plans for the man, as that of Abraham's wife, Sarah, on this particular occasion, it would be God's earnest desire and even commandment, where need be, for the man to listen to the voice of his wife, which if he consequently does, it will be for his own good, as God would be pleased with the man for listening to the voice of his wife and even reward him for doing so, as in this instance of Abraham, because the voice of the woman on that occasion represented His Voice.

God bless.

God would have also been happy and done the same to Adam if his wife, Eve's voice represented His Word and hence made Adam to obey God's Word instead of disobeying it.

Unfortunately it didn't, and worst still most women have followed Eve's example, as their voices don't represent the Word of God or His plans for man but that of the devil.

However there are still a few occasions when the voice of a woman represents the Word of God instead, as that of Sarah on that particular occasion, and whenever that is the case, God has been observed to back the woman's voice so that men would listen to what she has to say.

*This He did with prophetess Deborah, a one time God's appointed judge of Israel, in a time of their oppression, that made the mighty men of Israel to not dare take a step to go after their enemies without her order, as they believed it determined the difference between them being victorious or losing the battle. Judges 4:4-24.

*God also backed the voice of queen Esther during a distressing moment in the history of Israel, when their enemies sought to totally eliminate them, as He gave them total victory over their enemies despite being overwhelming underdogs, after the whole men of Israel listened to her voice. Esther 4-9.

*This also continued with the coming of Jesus as the first miracle Jesus did, despite saying His time hadn't yet come, was because men obeyed the voice of a woman, His mother Mary, who told them regardless of His unwillingness to do a miracle yet, "whatever He says, do it". John 2:3-11.

*He also backed the voice of a Samaritan woman who evangelized Him to the Samaritans, to the extent, despite being hungry and thirsty, He wouldn't eat or drink anything brought to Him by His own disciples, until He had confirmed what she said of Him to the Samaritans that made them believe in Him. John 4:6-42

*Then there was the women that He first appeared to after His resurrection and sent to preach the first message of His resurrection to His disciples and brethren who also happened to be His church. He would rebuke them for not believing the voice of the women that preached His Word to them that He had risen from the dead. Mark 16: 2-11, 14.

So whenever a woman voice represents God's Word, God has shown Himself severally in the Bible that He desires for men, including her husband, to listen to her voice.

God bless.

God has not stop backing the voice of any woman that represents His Word up til this day.

*He backed the voice of Kathryn Kulman, to the extent she is widely regarded as one of God's generals which was initially thought to be exclusively the league of men.

*He also did that with Gladys Aylward, a British woman He sent to evangelize the nation of China. Despite being petit in size, she became the most respected voice in China at the time. Even the emperor of China would seek her help or advice concerning national issues that seem beyond his scope, and God would use her to resolve it. When the nation warred with Japan, she was declared wanted by Japan who threw fliers from planes with her face on it marked wanted. She escaped and also saved the lives of many children during the war. She later returned to her country and when she speaks a times, thousands of men would be standing for up to four hours listening to her voice. Her story later made the big screen of Hollywood, titled "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" produced by Twentieth century fox, although when she went to see it herself she wasn't not happy with the way they twisted it to suit their own narrative.

*There's also Mary Slessor a missionary from Germany who left her country and husband and came to Nigeria, who God used to stop the killing of twins in Akwa Ibom because the whole men of the region listened to her voice.

There are many more, so God has not stopped backing the voice of women and using them to speak to men, whenever they represented His Word up til this very day.

God bless.

There are several women God's preparing for His mighty move that would take place in these last days and i'm blessed to be used by God to raise some of them.

One of them God led to me in this forum, as a sinner, demon-possessed but today she's delivered and saved to the glory of God.

She also confirmed seeing the face of Jesus I saw myself and once used as my profile picture, and she had many rapture dreams where He usually sends her to warn men about His imminent coming.


Another God sent to me, who then was afraid to preach to lost souls, despite having many dreams and visions about the end time and also Jesus sending her to warn men that He's coming soon, is now preaching the Gospel with much passion to lost souls.

Her husband, once an Alfa, whom her mother in-law, a devout Muslim, sternly warned her not to convert to christianity, is now a proudly a Christian and is not ashamed to pray in the name of Jesus.

Whenever I hear him call Jesus with so much belief, especially when he's praying for his family and children, I marvel at what God has done for the woman because this was the same man that was already set to pay dowry for a second wife that made the woman complain bitterly to me.

But I encouraged her not to give up but present the matter before God and ensure she doesn't stop his work not matter what, and today she's reaping the benefits as God has turned the situation totally around. The husband deeply regretted his decision and now dreads such women.


God has also used her mightily in the husband's family, as the same mother in-law (that warned her not to convert her son) to Christianity, has converted herself after she was attacked, lost her memory and almost lost her life, but was fully restored after she came to stay with her daughter in-law.

It's a long story, even the other in-laws were stunned by the result as their mother's case was turning hopeless prior to that, but that's an idea of what God's can do with women who represent His Word on Earth and not that of the devil.

There is another whom God has revealed to me to be as a Kathryn Kulman of this generation. She also happens to be the first person to accept my preaching of Words of Jesus and began to preach it herself, so it could hardly be a coincidence.

Therefore God hasn't left me out of what He is doing with women in these last days because I decided to follow God's Voice concerning women, not those of men.

God bless.

Thank God, you.said "on that particular occassion"

But looking at the occasion every reasonable person saw that Abraham was definitely punishing Sarah for her sin of adultery. And that punishment ran for a long while till God came to say "it is enough and let everyone be free".

So, Abraham was clearly pubishing Sarah by showing her and allowing her to eat the fruits of her stupidity in her allowing Satan to use her to.spoil and corrupt God's Plans!

As seen, every case is independent from each other and therefore, THEY ARE JUDGED ON THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT MERITS.

Thus, the case of the woman who was charged with ONLY ONE CRIME OF ADULTERY, which was brought to The Lord for Judgement, is in no reasonable way comparable or similar to the Charges WHICH GOD HIMSELF (and not men) LEVELED AGAINST EVE.

Therefore, for me to see The Truth of the Case, it was needful to uncover the offences which she perpetrated by her acts in the transaction thereof.[/quote]Matthew 15:28 — Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment her daughter was healed.

Luke 13:12 — When Jesus saw her, he called out to her, “Woman, you are free of your disability.”

John 2:4 — “What does that have to do with you and me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

John 4:21 Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
24God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

John 8:10-11 — When Jesus stood up, he said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”

John 19:26 — When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

John 20:15 — “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you’re seeking?”

Each time you hear Jesus say Woman, take it that He is alluding to Eve based of the premise that the woman, is the archetype of Eve. Now with that in your mind, note that, 2000 years ago, Jesus with John 8:10-11, had absolved Eve, so the reason for saying, your time taken up to draft the woman's and Eve's charges were unneeded.

Or Lord and Saviour of the WWW, whole wide world, Jesus, God Incarnate, meaning God in human flesh, not only listened to the woman and carried out her request, but He also dismissed the charges filed against the woman and declared her acquitted, essentially gave her a clean slate , new start verdict of, not guilty (i.e. 'I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more)'

Matthew 27:19-20
19While he was seated on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying,
“Have nothing to do with that righteous and innocent Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”
20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.


When you're doing the right, doing it at the right time, and still remaining in right standing with God, or remaining on God's right Hand, then 100% listen to your missus.

Imagine how Pilate and his missus scenario played out.

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.

It is well.

How is it fair for Abraham to send her out for Sarah?

Where's justice?

Same thing happened with Jacob and there was no sending out or discrimination against any wife or children!

Injustice and unnecessary selective discrimination!

Pray so that we can hear God's voice and not just man's or woman's or servants of God
