The Spiritual Oppression Of Women In The Hebrew Israelite Community & My Sin Of Sexual Immorality #israelitecamps #ISUPK #hebrewisraelites

An Exposing. A Testimony. A Thread.
I do not want to do this thread, because I donā€™t like sharing my personal/private business with people, but God is telling me to do this, and Heā€™s telling me to do this NOW. I stayed up until 5 a.m. last night typing this thread up. So here we go.
The spiritual oppression of women in the Israelite community needs to be spoken about. It is an attack from the enemy and is very detrimental to women who profess to be followers of the Most High God. I should be clear that not all Israelites participate in this act of oppression
against women, but it is a good number of them, and it is mostly those who are apart of ISRAELITE CAMPS & SCHOOLS. It is taught and enforced by these groups that the sole role of a woman is to be a wife and a mother. That is it. Women cannot teach at any level, women cannot be
prophets, and women have no place in ministry whatsoever. These men portray women to be inherently evil, simply because they are women, and their stance is that women should just be eternally silent. Now the extremity of this varies from group to group of course, but this is the
basis of what the ones Iā€™ve come across believe. Women are to ā€œsubmitā€ to men who are not even worthy, by Godā€™s standards, of being submitted toā€¦just because they are men. The Israelite community is filled with men who are unlearned, lack wisdom, knowledge and understanding of
heavenly things. And these very men are prideful and lift themselves up, while putting women down and commanding that they should simply be quiet, and ā€œbe a womanā€.

The reason why this is so detrimental to the Body of Christ, is because we have a large amount of women who donā€™t
know their purpose, they donā€™t know what theyā€™re called to do, and they find their purpose and worth in a husband, who is essentially, just a man. God has plans for these women, they are called to the nations, on some level, just like everyone else. These women could be serving
God by healing people, casting out devils, some of them are called to be prophets, teachers, evangelist, etc. But none of them (the ones who this applies to) are doing any of this because theyā€™re listening to men, instead of being led by God. Yes, women have a natural role in the
earth, to be mothers and wives, just like men have a natural role to provide/protect and be husbands. But thatā€™s just our natural/flesh role, we also have a role and purpose in the spirit, and thatā€™s to be servants of God, by doing whatever He calls us to do, in order to advance
His kingdom. And this spiritual role is actually supposed to come first, above your spouse and children. But these men completely strip women of their spiritual purpose, and make them put men above God, under the guise of, ā€œbeing submissive to me IS the (only) way you should
serve Godā€. Iā€™ve been observing this for far too long, and Iā€™ve even experienced it myself with a man from the ISUPK (Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge), which is truly one of the worst Israelite groups out there, if not the worst.
From the end of October 2019 - February 2020, I was intimately involved with a man from the ISUPK, and this is where my first hand experience with the spiritual oppression as a woman, and my OWN sin of sexual immorality come in:

doubt everything I thought I knew. I was beginning to question whether or not I had heard God on my convictions. Discernment and common sense were telling me that this man was not the one because he literally spoke against everything God had told me, and even went as far as to
say that God did not say these things. But I ignored it. By this point, I was convinced that he was the one, and that God would change his heart.

We continued to see each other, and our differences became more and more clear. To be fair, the ISUPKā€™s school does have rules on
courting and marriage for the members of their schools. For example, when someone is new to the school, no one is allowed to approach them romantically, until they have completed 6 months of coming to classes. Then, if two people want to marry, they have to court for 6 months
first. At the end of the 6 months, a ceremony can be had at the school in front of everyone else. This would mean that the man I was involved with and I would have to wait a year before we could get married. In retrospect, this would have been wise for me to follow. But at the
time, when he told me this, I was against it. Not that I had my own timeline in mind, its just that I was used to following the leading of the holy spirit. And so I felt like, youā€™re saying we have to wait a year, simply because your leaders say so, but what if God moves us to
get married sooner ? Then what ? Do we disobey the Lord? Thats where my head was at. Either way, even with their rules on courtship, and the option of having a ceremony, the whole ā€œsex is marriageā€ doctrine is pushed way more than their rules. ā€œSex is marriageā€ is literally all
they talk about.

My plans were for us to platonically get to know each other, and then move forward with getting married when God said to. I tried to explain my rules to him about me not wanting to kiss before marriage, about me not wanting to have sex before marriage, and you
know what his response was? ā€œSex is marriageā€. This greatly confused me. I knew what he meant by it, but I didnā€™t agree with it because it didnā€™t make sense. If sex was marriage, then isnā€™t the man who took my virginity, my husband ? Whenever I would challenge him on this, and
tell him I wanted to refrain from kissing and sex until marriage, he would respond saying things like ā€œthats christianity. Weā€™ve gotta get that Christianity out of youā€ Whenever we would disagree on doctrine period, I would tell him that I learned what I knew from the Holy Spirit
and he would tell me that I wasnā€™t learning from the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is simply ā€œthe will to do goodā€, and not a spirit sent by God to dwell in us.
He would also ask me ā€œwho taught you these things?ā€, and I would say ā€œGodā€. His response to me would be that
(Another continuation of thread via screen shots of my notes, in order to shorter thread)
I began to believe what these men had to say about women. I started to feel bad about being a woman, like I literally needed to apologize for my existence. I began to think that God hated women. I cried to God, and asked Him ā€œWhy did you create me? What am I even here for. Just
take me outā€. I didnā€™t understand why he would create women, such useless, worthless creates, if we were all bad, and could never be good, like men could be.

One day, my ā€œhusbandā€ and I got into a heated conversation, where I was asking him what were our plans for moving in
together, and he told me that we werenā€™t. He told me that he would never live with me because it wouldnā€™t be fair to his other wives, if he did. His other wives meaning his babymom (who he doesnā€™t even get along with), and any future wives he took on in the future.
(Israelites believe In polygyny. Not all of them though). I told him that I didnā€™t like the idea of being married and living by myself, and he said that I wouldnā€™t be alone, because he would stay the night. I responded back saying, ā€œainā€™t no man thatā€™s not paying bills sleeping
in my house whenever they feel like it. If you donā€™t pay the bills, youā€™re not coming over my placeā€. (He did not have a place of his own either)

He didnā€™t like this response, of course, and said ā€œJust because I donā€™t live with you and Iā€™m not paying the bills, that doesnā€™t
mean Iā€™m not the man of the house. Iā€™m still the man of your houseā€. Yaā€™ll should have seen the look on my face. It was a look of absolute disgust and disbelief, with a lot of ā€œnigga pleaseā€ mixed in there. It was at this point I realized how much of a joke our ā€œmarriageā€ was.
This man was so adamant about enforcing my role as a woman on me, but he didnā€™t want to fulfill HIS role as a provider????????????????????????????????????????? This man had NO plans on taking care of me???? His WIFEEEEE ???????? Oh no your honor.
After this, I indirectly admitted to wishing I had known how he really was, before I ā€œmarriedā€ him. I say indirectly, because I didnā€™t mean to say what I said, but Iā€™m so glad I did anyways. We left each other on bad terms that day, and even though I texted him to apologize (i
texted to give him space to cool off), he didnā€™t get back to me until 3-4 days later. At all. I donā€™t care how mad or hurt you are, no ā€œhusbandā€ doesnā€™t communicate with their ā€œwifeā€ for 3-4 days. After this, I was done. I knew I needed to get out of this mess I had gotten into.
I was coming back to my senses now because even more o this true colors were showing. Of course, he tried to get me to stay, because Israelites donā€™t believe in divorce. Which is ironic, because this man and I were never officially married anyways, and its funny how thatā€™s the
only Biblical thing they follow.

Even though I had woken up again, and realized that sex was in fact, not marriage, I wanted to play by his roles with us departing from one another anyways. Just to quiet him. So I searched through the scriptures for days looking (in the old
testament) for any little verse that would give me grounds for leaving him, whether it fully applied or not lol. This is the scripture I used:

Exodus 21:10-11
10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

When I found this scripture, I cried yā€™all. I didnā€™t care if it didnā€™t apply fully to my situation, it was close enough. I presented the Scripture to him, and I left him. This was in mid February

I got back to my God. I started praying again
I cried and I cried and I asked God for forgiveness. I repented of my sexual immorality. My fornication. Of having sex before marriage. I was regretful because I had ruined my 2 solid years of no sex, with a man who wasnā€™t even worthy. And it was all my fault. But I repented
of it, and Iā€™ll never do it again.I started listening to the Holy Spirit again. I started reading my Bible again. I got back into the Lordā€™s presence, and in it, to my surprise, I found an abundance of grace, and mercy, and forgiveness. I wasnā€™t surprised because I thought God
wouldnā€™t give it, but because I thought that I was unforgivable. I thought that I didnā€™t deserve forgiveness. I was condemning myself so heavily. Until God reminded me through one of His servants, not to rob myself of his mercy and grace, and not to condemn myself over a mistake.
Even if it was a big one. Because yes, my mistake was big, but my God is greater.

I picked my list backup, of the things that God was calling me to do, and I started doing them. Iā€™m walking in my calling now, Iā€™m walking in my purpose. Iā€™ve accomplished 2 of
those things on the list so far:

1. Moving out of state
2. Publishing an ebook telling some of my testimony (will post it later)

And most importantly, I found my identity again. And itā€™s in JESUS CHRIST.
DISCLAIMER!!!

The purpose of this thread is to highlight the Spiritual Oppression so many women in the Israelite community face. I am not a victim, everything I went through in this thread was my fault ! Iā€™m a big girl, who made her own decisions. EYE chose to be with that guy
And EYE chose to ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit !!!! Donā€™t be like me !!! If you are a woman and you are letting a man tell you that your ONLY purpose is being his wife, COME OUT !!! Seek God first, seek JESUS !!! Find out what your calling is. And if He tells you that He
Wants you to focus on being a wife and a mother first, then thatā€™s OKAY. But thatā€™s Godā€™s decision to make, NOT mans.
