The modern Church: no healings, no miracles, no blessings, no overcoming, no victories.
Why are modern professing Christians so ineffective?
It’s because they have no delight in the hot, sexy, beautiful, gorgeous woman.
And they don’t appreciate her path towards being that hot woman.

“She might tempt the brothers,” they would say.
“Cover her up!”  Modesty, you know.

But, without that hottie, we can never be God’s people.

Song of Solomon 4:7
   Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

God’s covenant with his people:
Genesis 15:18
   In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram…

Genesis 17:9
   And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

God’s people obey.
Exodus 19:5-6
   Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
   And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.

God’s authority renamed Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel, and named Isaac.
Genesis 17:5
   Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Genesis 17:19
   And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac

Genesis 35:10
   And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

God named man.
Genesis 5:1-2
   In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
   Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Man's dominion over the earth, animals, and plants:
Genesis 1:26-30
   And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
   So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
   And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
   And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Adam as gardener:
Genesis 2:5,15
   …and there was not a man to till the ground…
   And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Adam named members of his domain, including the woman.
Genesis 2:19-20,23
   …and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
   And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;
   …And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 3:20
   And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

By disobeying, man fell.  The ground (which Adam tilled) became cursed, and those plants became ugly.
Genesis 3:17-18
   …cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
   Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Hardship:
Genesis 3:19
   In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Driven out:
Genesis 3:23-24
   Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
   So he drove out the man;

But Christ won for us where Adam lost.
1 Corinthians 15:22
   For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Romans 5:12,15,19
   Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned…
   But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.  For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many…
   For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Christ took our sickness, so that we may be healthy.
Matthew 8:17
   Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Christ took our poverty, that we might live in abundance.
2 Corinthians 8:9
   For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Christ died, that we might live.
1 Thessalonians 5:10
   Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Christ took our ugliness as a crown, that we might have a crown of beauty.
Matthew 27:29
   And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

What is this crown of beauty?
Proverbs 12:4
   A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Woman as crown:
1 Corinthians 11:7-9
   For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
   For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
   Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

Why is this ideal woman the crown and the glory?
Because without her, men would never be able to lead us towards being God’s people.
Without those hotties and their process of beautification, men would lead having no point of reference for their leadership to make the Church effective.
The ideal woman: beautiful.
Psalm 45:2,11
   Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
   …So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

Job 42:15
   And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job

But how does she become beautiful?
She becomes beautiful in the exact same way that we become God’s people.
Becoming beautiful is a process of self examination.
We need this process of female physical beautification so that God’s people can know how to self-examine and be beautiful spiritually.
Revelation 21:2
   …prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 19:7-8
   …the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
   And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of saints.

Esther 2:12
   …after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)

With fat acceptance, women dressing as men, and women in men’s jobs – do we even remember how women are to look and to beautify themselves?
We had better remember, and practice this, as that’s the only way God’s people are going to be acceptable to God.

James likens the Bible to a mirror, which only is helpful when the one looking into the mirror sorts himself out – a doer of the word.
James 1:23-25
   For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
   For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
   But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

We are to examine ourselves.
2 Corinthians 13:5
   Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.  Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

And if we don’t judge ourselves, we are judged and chastened by the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:28,31-32
   But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
   …For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
   But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

And we approach judging, examining, and preparing ourselves as a woman beautifies herself and tediously examines herself in the mirror.
Ephesians 5:27-28
   That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
   So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

2 Corinthians 11:2
   For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Bronze as divine judgement:
Revelation 2:18
   These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine bronze;

Revelation 19:15
   …and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Ezekiel 9:2-6
   …and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
   And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
   And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
   And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
   Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary.

Zechariah 6:1-3 
   …behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
   In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
   And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

After sin and then judgement, note how the people would have to look at the bronze serpent to be healed.
Numbers 21:7,9
   We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.
   …And Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of bronze, he lived.

In the Tabernacle of Moses, before entering the holy place, one would encounter bronze.
Exodus 27:10
   And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of bronze;

Bronze altar in the Tabernacle of Moses:
Exodus 27:2-4
   …and thou shalt overlay it with bronze.
   And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of bronze.
   And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of bronze;

The last item before entering the holy place (in the Tabernacle of Moses) was the bronze basin/laver.
The high priest would wash, or he would die.
Exodus 30:18-20
   Thou shalt also make a laver of bronze, and his foot also of bronze, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
   For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
   When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not;

The New Testament (Covenant) parallel to this Old Testament (Covenant) writing is the washing of the Word.
John 15:3
   Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Remember, the Word is used as a mirror.
James 1:23
   For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass…

What sort of mirror?
We parallel back to the Old Testament (Covenant) to find that the bronze basin/laver was made of women’s bronze mirrors.
Exodus 38:8
   And he made the laver of bronze, and the foot of it of bronze, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Normally, the Bible does not indicate where building materials come from.
But, God made an exception, and specifically wanted us to know that the bronze of judgement came from women’s mirrors, which normally are used for female beautification.

Men are to lead.
1 Timothy 3:5
   (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

If a woman has not beautified herself in her mirror (kept a nice body, clothing appealing to her husband, etc.), men should notice and judge rightly.
Lamentations 2:15
   All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

If men fail, God will judge.
Ezekiel 16:37
   Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

All things are naked to God.
Hebrews 4:13
   …all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

The Lord examines even the woman’s genitals.
Isaiah 3:17
   Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

Nahum 3:5
   ...and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

Are professing Christians interested in inspecting and presenting the virginal genitals of a young woman?

Can we be bothered?
Deuteronomy 22:17
   …these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.  And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

The parallel to the ‘secret parts’ in God’s people that is Christ’s bride is the heart.
Psalm 51:6,10
   Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
   …Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Psalm 26:2
   Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Jeremiah 17:9-10
   The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
   I the LORD search the heart…

But for the Church to be effective, judgement must begin at the Church. 
1 Peter 4:17
   For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God

We examine ourselves in that mirror, and sort ourselves out, before we can judge rightly.
Matthew 7:1-3
   Judge not, that ye be not judged.
   For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
   And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Luke 6:37,42
   Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven…
   Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

1 Corinthians 9:27
   …lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

King David hated God’s enemies with perfect hatred.
But where did he first look for wickedness?  Himself.  His heart.
Psalm 139:21-24
   Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
   I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
   Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
   And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Isaiah 45:8
   Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness

Moses brought heaven to earth with his depiction of how God interacts with heavenly cherubims.
Exodus 25:18,22
   And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
   …And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony

And, when a woman submits to her husband, she submits to the physical version of God, as Christ came as a man.
Genesis 9:6
   …for in the image of God made he man.

1 Timothy 2:5
   For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Similarly, we are not to abandon the image of the bride – the real life beautified woman.
Ezekiel 16:11-14
   I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
   And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
   Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
   And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Without real life hot women, and appreciation of the process to make them hot, we have no point of reference to beautify ourselves, and meticulously become that beautiful bride of Christ.
Revelation 21:2
   …prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Isaiah 52:1
   Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

True repentance means saying that we have given up our own works – especially our own ‘good’ works, and follow Christ unconditionally.
Can we embarrassingly give up what we have been doing, and admit we are wrong?

Change of clothes/acts:
Isaiah 61:10
   I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Zechariah 3:3-4
   Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
   And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him.  And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Can we embarrassingly admit that we need to change our ways to submit to Christ, if we cannot perform the physical parallel – to make that woman beautiful?
Isaiah 47:2-3
   …uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
   Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen

Before we can take off the filthy rags of our own good works…
Isaiah 64:6
   But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteous acts are as filthy rags;

…we need the physical reference point – where women repent and take their proper role.
James 2:17
   Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

And, if women do not repent, men need to authoritatively strip them naked and have them put on garments of good deeds/their proper role.
1 Peter 3:3-6
   Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
   But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
   For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
   Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord

1 Timothy 2:9-10
   In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
   But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

Men are to claim the victory that Christ won.
2 Corinthians 2:14
   Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ…

We overwhelmingly conquer through Christ.
Romans 8:37
   …in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

What do we conquer?  We take back the domain that Adam lost.
Revelation 21:7
   He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

We take back paradise – the beautiful bride is also the city for man.
Revelation 21:2,18-19
   And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven…
   And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
   And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.

Gardening:
Revelation 22:2-3
   …the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
   And there shall be no more curse

Isaiah 35:7
   And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

Isaiah 61:11
   For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

What would the modern Church say about Rachel?
The Church would say that she ‘tempts the brothers.’
They might call depictions of Rachel ‘pornography.'
Genesis 29:17
   …Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

The Church would love if she has lost her beauty – fat acceptance, covering up that body with modest clothing.  Modesty, you know.
Lamentations 1:6
   And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed

Our victory is reclaiming the ugly, obese woman, and putting her in her proper role as loving wife to a Christian man.
And our victory is reclaiming God’s people as a properly repentant, cleansed and beautified bride for Christ.

Remember the bronze which is judgement?           
John 5:22
   For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son

2 Corinthians 5:10
   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The Word judges us.
John 12:48
   He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Christ is the Word made flesh.
John 1:14
   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Christ was lifted up with our sin (serpent) put upon him.
John 3:14
   And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up

Under the New Covenant (Testament), we must continually look at Christ, the Word as a mirror, to be the beautiful bride prepared – just as Moses’ people looked at the bronze serpent.
Numbers 21:9
   And Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of bronze, he lived.

Under the New Covenant (Testament), we are clean by keeping looking in the mirror that is the Word of God, or we die spiritually, like the Old Covenant (Testament) high priests would have to continuously wash their feet and hands in the basin/laver made of women’s mirrors.
Ephesians 5:26
   That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word

1 John 1:7
   But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Keep looking in the mirror, like the hot woman does, or become ugly like the thorn.
Mark 4:18-19
   And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
   And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
