who sits in Gods throne and ministers to our every need .

               Do you follow men are do you follow the man Christ Jesus. Men

               can only bind you up and limit your ministry. They always


               enslave you with their doctrine and it is always contrary to what

               Jesus taught. It sounds good but it is always associated with

               legalism and the letter kills.


               Romans 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the

               Lord.

               Both these women were preachers and deaconesses in the

               church.


               There is a the history of the church by Eusibus Pamphilli many

               people have never heard of him but for the first 300 years of the

               Church a history book was kept by people appointed in the

               Church just like they do today when they keep records of events


               and meetings. And it tells the duties of those in the church and

               who was an apostle or deacon deaconess, prophet, prophetess or

               whatever. It tells of what was going on at the time and why

               certain things happened the way they did. It tell who were

               martyred a lot of details that are left out of the Bible. I have that

               book that is why I know who these women are and what they

               did. And if you have a commentary for your Bible look at it

               concerning this verse of Scripture. It will say they were

               deaconesses.
