This is the story of a great woman, multitudes of great women.

And if you'd like, we'll read under gem together the text.

And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread.

And so it was that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread." The Bible is packed full of great women and you know every time I've heard women's lib discussed, most every time, I found in my heart a pity for the men who indicate that the reason why a woman should stay at home is because she's inferior.

The reason why she should stay at home is because she's superior.

And it needs a superior person to train and shape the molding character of the child.

And that's the reason why women were made to stay at home.

I don't know where in the world men got that idea from their big thoroughbred registered ego.

Of course women ought to have the privilege of holding any kind of an office as far as I'm concerned and the only handicap, the only limitation to that is the fact that that the character of mankind is conditioned on a mother.

There's no work that's done in this world that can be done without the mother or somebody shaping the character of that child.

You can go on and on and on through the Bible Deborah the prophetess, Huldah the prophetess, Philip's 4 daughters who did prophesy on and on and on through the Bible tremendous women.

They may be called a weaker sex but my friends, theirs is the most tremendous responsibility ever committed to mortals.

So brethren if you ever hear men talking about women's lib, I pray the Lord that you will not let yourself be a partner to discussing how women don't have the sense to do what men have.

My friends they have too much sense to go out there and all that crazy stuff for the men have bungled everything all up.

They needed in the home to bless the children to train those those developing minds.

My friends there would never been a Moses.

There would have never been an Exodus as far as Moses was concerned without that tremendous, that tremendous mother, right?

Timothy, Paul writes to Timothy, he said, oh I'm so happy for the faith that was in you first is what it was in the in your grandmother and then your mother.

My wasn't Paul, Paul surely got it all mixed up you know.

You'd have thought Paul had said, it was in your father and your grandfather.

I thank God for great women and if any time have any of you dear ladies or girls, if you're ever tempted to think that you're not doing a wonderful work for God, Remember a quotation that's found from my favorite author in the book The Desire of Ages, page 250, and it goes like this, listen to this, he who loves Christ most will do the most good.

Not he who is the most greatly highly educated, not he who is in the public eye, he who loves Christ most will do the most good.

Look at the little woman who bathed Christ's feet with her tears and old Judah was so upset And Jesus said I want you to know that she is a part of the everlasting gospel that will circle the earth The woman that cast in 2 mites all her living What a tremendous gospel message that has been down to our day of unselfishness Thank the Lord So don't you think it'd be a good thing brethren, the ladies don't have to listen now, wouldn't it be a real good thing if when we go home tonight all of us men tell our wives how much we love them.

The good thing I guess I have to tell this is a little extra.

1 Sabbath morning I was preaching and I noticed at my right, right near the front, there was a great big deacon, big 1, about 5 foot tall, 4 feet wide, not quite that much, and sitting beside him was his wife and they're looking in opposite directions you know and they didn't look happy and my heart went out to them right then in the service and I just interrupted myself I didn't look at them so they'd know it, I thought.

And I said, men when you come home from the meeting, go home from the meeting this morning, tell your wife you love them.

And I was looking off over here and I just hoped he would get the message because I thought I bet you it's been a long while since his wife ever heard him say you're pretty sweet you know and I thought maybe Lord help it to get through and you know that night it fell to my task to go out and pick them up and bring them to meetings and they sat in the back seat the 2 of them just about filled the back seat and on the way in the man began to chuckle I didn't know he could chuckle and he said pastor you know what you told me to do this morning?

He said, you told us to go home, tell our wives we love them.

He said, when we got home I said, honey, I love you.

And he said, I repeat it again, I really love you.

And he said, I kept repeating it until he said and he began to chuckle some more he said until I finally convinced her didn't I honey he said and she chuckled back she said yes honey and I tell you I don't know I seem to get the the humor out of things I thought he's calling her honey and she's calling him honey and they're big well 2 big chunks of honey ought to have more honey in it then 2 little chunks of honey I said praise the Lord.

God wants us men to appreciate our wives and he wants us to appreciate God's handmaidens everywhere.

Don't ever think, my beloved friends and dear ladies, don't ever let the devil tell you that your life is meaningless.

He who loves Jesus the most will do the most good and it doesn't make any difference how much he is in the public eye, he may be over in a corner but he'll still in the kingdom to come as a trace through You'll find that that soul that loved Jesus the most, little mouse in the corner, will have done the most good.

And that's true with any of us men, same thing.

And you know it doesn't depend on how highly educated we are or how intelligent we are.

You know, I never cease, I never cease to thank God for being so good to me.

I just thank him from the depths of my heart.

From the time I started in the ministry until today, and I don't think I've ever told an audience this before, I've looked in the faces of the people to whom I've spoken, and I thought, my, my, look at those men.

Any of those men are more intelligent than I am.

But God is willing to use you and me if we'll just let him do it.

Just surrender our will to him and he isn't looking for big heads, he's looking for big hearts.

He's looking for people who will say, Lord not I but Christ be honored, be loved, exalted.

Not I but Christ be seen, be known, be heard.

Well let me share with you in Andy's experience and I think this is chapter 11 in our book, the answer was created called a great a great woman beginning with page 88 and we've listed here a number of great women of the Bible and you remember some little child asked me if these were true.

Friends every time we write a book we check and double-check because Jesus is true and he wants true he wants us to give the truth.

Now we left Andy last night in college he was now in college having all kinds of trouble you know why was having all kinds of trouble because Satan when he sees you'll get answers to prayer how does it affect Satan anybody?

He is a devil, and that's his business, is to try to get us to become discouraged because of circumstances and Andy was receiving 1 miracle after another but he had a family of 5 3 children his wife and himself she was working her head off so to speak, he was doing the same.

And yet, how in the world, taking full work, college work, How could he ever support his family?

And finally, as we're about to start another semester, whether it's the third or fourth semester he was there, I don't recall, they were ready to start another semester and he received a letter from the business office stating that he owed the college $855 and he must pay that before he matriculated for the next semester but more than that he must also advance $225 more.

Now, there are 4 promises that Andy and his family claimed.

And I want to share these because, my friends, you will want to claim promises.

I asked him what kind of promises he claimed.

And those of you who can quote it will you quote it with me if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that give us to all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him but let him ask in faith nothing wavering for he that wavereth is like of the wave of the sea driven with a wind and tossed for let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." So he asked God for wisdom and you know when you ask God for wisdom, or any other promise that you claim, let me make this suggestion, try it out.

Don't ask just for it, Ask for Jesus in the form of it.

When I ask for wisdom, what am I asking for?

1 Corinthians 1.30, Christ is made unto us wisdom.

I'm asking for Jesus Christ, for the life of Christ in the form of wisdom.
