Her Tower Shall Stand Alone By Mine

-

I’m going to share one of my favorite things in the whole world with you today. It comes from a document called The Gospel of the Beloved Companion.

It is a gospel attributed to Mary Magdalene. It is similar to the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, but better.

“Then Miryam, the Beloved companion, took a jar of oil of pure and expensive spikenard and poured it upon the head of Yeshua and anointed him. And the house was full of the sweet fragrance of the ointment.

And seeing what she had done, the disciples therefore grumbled against her amongst themselves.

But hearing this, Yeshua said to them, “Leave her be. She has anointed me for what I am come to do, and done what she is appointed to do. Only from the truth I tell you, whenever they speak of me, what she has done will also be told in memory of her. You do not know or understand what she has done.

I tell you this: When all have abandoned me, only she shall stand beside me like a tower. A tower built on a high hill and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden. From this day forth, she shall be known as a tower to my flock and the time will soon come when her tower shall stand alone by mine.”

An interesting side note, the word Migdala means tower in Hebrew. Some suggest that the name we associate with Mary–Magdalene was really Migdala.
I recently came across this scripture in Proverbs: 18:10  "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”

Back to the quote from The Beloved Companion, this part is the part I love so much: “When all have abandoned me, only she shall stand beside me like a tower…and the time will soon come when her tower shall stand alone by mine.”

Two fortified towers standing on a hill cannot fall.

The worth of a Godly woman who will stand with her husband is immeasurable. A man who has a wife that will stand alone beside him when all others flee, can accomplish anything. Truly, she is his superpower.

The greatest value a woman brings to her husband is not necessarily her skillset, education, status or career, etc. It is how she can help support the overall mission of her King and their Kingdom. Feminine energy is not built to focus on the external world; she is made to receive from the spiritual and manifest into the external world. She is the portal through which life moves from the spiritual into the physical. She is the creator who expands into her creations.

Truly, all the things a man may desire will never compare with being given access to the fullness of a virtuous woman's heart, to be given the crown his wife has for him buried deep within her heart.

Dear Men,

-
I am going to do a 2 part series. One for men. One for women. I have decided I will start with the men. Because, when all is said and done, it is the divine masculine in men that must be tapped into to create and be a space of safety for the divine feminine to show up.  A woman who is willing to expose her heart, to be vulnerable and open herself up–mentally, emotionally and physically, is very appealing to a man. It is sexy. It is what he wants.  The unfortunate irony is that if her man is not working on and being aware of his own issues, that makes him an unsafe place for her to let her guard down and expose her vulnerability. And yet, in most semi-healthy relationships, if the woman will show some vulnerability and let him see her pain, that will quickly polarize him into a more masculine energy—because she is embodying her feminine energy. So it becomes a bit of “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?” My husband and I have gone back and forth with each other discussin...

Dear Women,

I have really struggled writing this post. There are many directions I could go with this, but I've settled on describing what the divine feminine looks like in relation to the divine masculine I spoke of in Dear Men.  There is certainly some level of the divine feminine and masculine that we can all tap into, but its fullest expression can only be found in a relationship between the two.  A woman needs contact with an embodied conscious man in order to fully come into and experience her femininity. She needs to experience herself in relation to an energetically powerful opposite. A clear opposite. A decisive opposite. An opposite who knows what he’s doing.  We can do many healing practices to learn self love and address past trauma and open ourselves up, but without that divine polarizing experience there will be something huge missing.  Remember, men and women are opposites for a reason. Everything functions on polarity. With no up, there is no down. With no yin th...

THE FEMININE GIFT

-
 Men are meant to lead their wife and family under the guidance of Wisdom. We know that “Wisdom” means we are talking about The Mother. But what does that actually mean? What does that look like in our lives? How do we get past  “just discovering the abstract presence of ‘wisdom’ as a characteristic attributable to the Mother in Heaven”  and instead  “discover Her existence and acknowledge Her–otherwise we have not ‘found’ Her. When She declares ‘Whoso findeth me findeth life and shall obtain favor of the Lord.’, it should be taken literally.”  (D.S. Divine Parents talk) How do we “find” Her? And what do we do when we do find her? It’s all still a bit vague. I’m going to suggest that one very important role of women is to be that “connection” to Wisdom. To be the vessel through which Wisdom can flow into her life and particularly into her marriage. Remember, marriage is The Holy Order of Matrimony. It is the feminine’s domain. All women have as their birthright ...
