When women are competing with each other they are never at their best.

Abram’s fornication with Hagar not only put him out of fellowship, but it destroyed his relationship of soul with Sarai and Hagar.
PRO 5:22 – His own reversionism will trap him with a reversionistic woman. Furthermore he will be seized and bound with the chains of his own feminine idol.
1. Having sex with the wrong woman, the reversionistic believer binds himself to an idol he has fashioned with his own phallus.
2. Every act of fornication is another chain or rope binding the reversionist to the idol called sex.
3. Every inconsequential person taken to bed is another link in the slavery to sex, and the whirlwind is not worth it.
Experience is not what you need – virtue is. The idol cannot satisfy, only the reality can.
Gen 16 – Abram has a wife who is jealous, a mistress who has become pregnant and arrogant, and he’s caught between the two.
When women are competing with each other they are never at their best.
despised – Qal imperfect – qalal = to curse, despise, to treat someone as insignificant, to lightly esteem, to look down at someone.
piel imperfect – anah = to oppress, to torture, to afflict, to humiliate.
When women are competing with each other they are at their worst, because it destroys the natural femininity of response and puts in the aggressiveness of evil.
1CO 11:7 – the man is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
1CO 11:9 for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.
They were to quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness, 1TI 2:11.
In the spiritual realm, not the natural realm, they were not to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet,1TI 2:12.
ISA 3:8-9 – a person’s speech and their rebellious actions bears witness on the expression of their faces.
adder – tsepha = cockatrice eggs, which comes from the thrusting out of the tongue or the hissing of the tongue.
EPH 4:27 and do not give the devil a [topos] a room in your soul.
GAL 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
He was rational, logical, smart, magnificently great; he had honor and integrity and four great victories, but now he has bad judgment, lacks spiritual common sense, and has no honor, no integrity.
The very woman whom he fornicated with, he will betray.
In certain areas of life competition is normal and wonderful.
A man becomes a sneak and divisive in being competitive – in social life and in the sexual life.
A competitiveness in social life destroys the “low profile relaxed mental attitude” concept that is so important in category 3 love / category 2 love.
When a woman is competitive in social life, or in sexual life, it destroys her femininity.
When a man is competitive in social life and sexual life it destroys his masculinity.
