• God made the woman to be a helper not a destroyer or Satan.

• Satan took an advantage - the woman's fall and kept manipulating them even through men.
• Many women misuse and abuse opportunity, authority and despise dignities.
• Many have sold their dignity to Satan, Jesus has come yet they refused to be free.
• The devil you hear about can impersonate anyone, not only women.
• Until a woman is free her future will be completely dark and blocked.

• Nothing has ever changed in the plan God has concerning women.
• The devil thought that God would reject women for His original purpose.
