Don’t Get Between a Woman and Her Prophet — It’s Dangerous

There’s something sacred, even powerful, about the connection between a woman, God, and the prophets she believes carries the word of the Lord. It's not idolizing a man—it’s about honoring the divine assignment on him for her life and her family. And in the Bible, there are several cases in which women demonstrate that because of their honor for the prophet of God their entire family was blessed. In many cases, their life was saved. This is a lesson every wise person should remember:

Don’t. Get. In. The. Way. It's Dangerous 😉

Let’s talk about them.

The Shunammite Woman: A Wealthy Woman With a Prophetic Room

The bible says she had wealth, which probably means she was respect and had influence. Could it be because she was connected to the prophet?

But when the prophet Elisha passed through town, she had the spiritual discernment to recognize that he was a man of God.

She didn’t just invite him in. She built a fully furnished room on her home for him.

You know she loved her prophet—sis didn’t just hand him a plate and say, “Stop by when you’re in town.” No, ma’am. She built him an entire room in her home. Furnished it. Decorated it. Made sure the man of God had a place to rest whenever he rolled through. That’s not casual. That’s covenant energy.

You would be insane to try an interfere with that relationship or not recognize the weight of such a divine connection. She honored Elisha so deeply that she made room for the prophetic in her everyday life. Literally.

If I was in a church, I would say, look to your neighbor and say don't you mess with that.

And guess what? That room became the very place where God resurrected her promise. That act alone unlocked a promise she didn’t even ask for—a son, after years of barrenness.

But here’s where it gets deep. The boy grows up, and one day, he collapses and dies. Did she panic? No.

She laid him on the prophet’s bed, shut the door, and said to her husband:

“Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may quickly go to the man of God and come back again.” (2 Kings 4:22)

Her husband asked why—“It’s not the Sabbath or a holy day.” In other words, this isn’t the usual time to go to church or ask the prophet for a word.

But see—because of her direct connection to the prophet, she wasn’t trying to hear none of that outside noise. People might’ve only seen the surface—a room in her house, a few meals here and there. But what they didn’t see was the depth of that relationship.

We don’t know what kind of conversations they had. Maybe the prophet confided in her—told her how hard it was traveling, how exhausted he was doing God’s work with nowhere to lay his head. Maybe she listened. Maybe she saw his heart, not just his title. Maybe she said, “You know what? I’m gonna honor this man of God like he deserves.”

And maybe—just maybe—he poured into her too. Maybe he spoke life over her, gave her direction, prophesied things she hadn’t even dared to dream. That connection?

It wasn’t one-sided. It was mutual. It was divine. And that’s why when tragedy struck, she didn’t fall apart—she went straight to the one who carried her promise.

I remember years ago, there was an old song we used to sing—“Come On in the Room.” As a little girl, it always made me think of the church mothers and elders with those sacred prayer closets.

They didn’t just talk to God—they went in that room and travailed. They cried out, they interceded, they called heaven down. And miracles happened in those closets.

That’s what the Shunammite woman did—she made room. And when her son died, she didn’t panic, she didn’t throw a fit. She placed him in that room—the room she built for the prophet—and shut the door. Because that room wasn’t just four walls and a bed… that room was an altar.

And that room? It saved her son.

But when her husband asked why she was going to see the prophet, she hit him with a one-liner:

“All is well.”

Now read between the lines, baby:
Don’t question me. Don’t block me. Don’t interfere.

And to his credit, he didn’t. He gave her what she asked for and let her ride. He understood—this was between her and the man of God. And notice… you don’t hear another word from him in the entire text. He stepped aside and let the woman move in her divine assignment.

But whew—let’s be real. Some folks today? They would’ve messed it all the way up.
“Ain’t no man gon’ have that kind of power over my wife!”
Okay… and lose everything trying to control what was never yours to begin with.

Like my bishop says:

“You can get what you want… and lose what you have.”

Decisions.

She made her way to Elisha, with her son’s body waiting at home on the prophet’s bed. And guess what? Elisha came—and raised her son from the dead.

Let that sink in: her son lived because she didn’t let anything or anyone get between her and her prophet.

The Widow of Zarephath: Broke but Spiritually Rich

In another time of crisis, the land was in drought and famine. People were starving. But God sent Elijah to a woman who was also a widow in Zarephath to sustain him.

When Elijah asked for water and bread, she was honest:

“I don’t have any bread—just a little flour and oil. I was going to make one last meal for my son and me... and die.”

But the prophet gave her a bold instruction:
“Feed me first.”

Now pause. That sounds crazy, right? But this woman didn’t argue, didn’t push back, and didn’t run off to ask her neighbors.
She obeyed. She honored the word.

Wives, let’s set the record straight—serving your husband first isn’t about submission; it’s about power. honor. strategy. That’s kingdom.

It’s not a throwback to outdated roles; it’s a conscious choice to lead with love, respect, and intention.

In a world that often misinterprets honor as weakness, choosing to serve your partner first is a radical act of empowerment. It’s about creating a partnership where both individuals uplift and support each other, recognizing that mutual respect and care are foundational to a thriving relationship.

Consider the wisdom of Proverbs 31, which describes a woman of valor who manages her household with strength and dignity, ensuring her family is well cared for and respected in the community.

So, go ahead and serve your husband first—not because you have to, but because you choose to. It's a reflection of your confidence, your commitment, and your understanding that true partnership is built on mutual honor and love. And what happened?

“There was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. The jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry…”

She and her household were sustained in a famine—because she made room for the prophet, even when she had almost nothing to give.

So What’s the Lesson Here?

Whether it was a woman of wealth, a woman in poverty, or a woman with a broken heart, each recognized the presence of God in a prophet, and each refused to let anything block their connection to that vessel. And their faith opened the door to resurrection, provision, and revelation.

So yes, let it be known:

It is dangerous to get between a woman and her prophet.

When a woman discerns a prophetic voice that carries her promise, her healing, her word in due season—step aside.
Don’t question her urgency. Don’t distract her with logic. Don’t try to mediate the situation.

Because when a woman locks eyes on the vessel God has assigned to her breakthrough…
Mountains move. The dead rise. Oil flows. Angels appear.

Final Thought:

Women have always had a deep sensitivity to the move of God—and when they act in bold faith, especially in connection to God’s messengers, miracles follow. Honor that connection. Respect that obedience. And above all—
