46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

Notice that it does not say they heard the men speaking, and the women keeping silence. Peter was sent to preach to the entire household, and we can conclude since the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the Word, that the women as well as the men spoke aloud in other tongues and magnified God.

* * *

When the Spirit of God came on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and on Elizabeth, the mother of John, and on Anna, the prophetess—they did not keep silence. They spoke.

LUKE 1:39-42

39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

41 And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice....

When the Spirit of God came upon Elizabeth, she spoke out with a loud voice and began to prophesy. The Lord gave her a message. When the Spirit of God came upon Mary, she spoke out the beautiful prophecy you can read in Luke 1:46-55.

"Yeah," someone says, "but that was in the home. It's all right in the home."

When the Spirit of God moves as people worship Him, in your home, your living room, or the church building, you're having church. And when the Spirit of God moves, as far as God is concerned, there is really neither male nor female. If the Spirit of God comes on a woman, I'm not going to tell her to be quiet, are you? If she's preaching a sermon, I'm not going to tell her to hush, are you? To do so, is to do despite unto the grace of God.

LUKE 2:36-38

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;

37 And she was a widow of about four-score and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

The Bible calls Anna a prophetess—which is simply the feminine form of prophet. Anna was speaking right out in what we would call the house of God.

Paul certainly would not prevent women from speaking messages given to them by the Spirit. For the Lord said, "Your daughters shall prophesy." Paul could not countermand the Lord's order by saying, "The daughters shall not prophesy,"

could he? And neither can any other man.

I'm convinced Paul was saying, "I suffer not a wife to teach or usurp authority over her husband." Yet, if the husband were not a Christian, he wouldn't know anything to teach his wife, and she might have to teach him.
