the Warrior SHE

The pressure is building for all of us, Warrior. You're not alone in you search for grace in your sheltered space. In fact, I completely blew it this week! Just wait until you hear how I let the pressure of this pandemic take hold of my head and my heart. Sadly, it wasn't a pretty sight. Fortunately, there was grace for me. And that's what I want to share with you; a new perspective as we stay holed up in our homes. Let us use this mindset for right reflection as we implement some positive...

As we all look for ways to stay in shape during this covid chaos, wouldn't it be great if we had an exercise plan that would help us also increase the strength of our hearts and minds? I mean, aren't those really the places where we are struggling the most? That's why I've laid out a supernatural workout plan for us today. One that will help us develop more endurance, patience, peace and wisdom. But we shouldn't be surprised, if before the workout begins, we first need to warmup with some...

Can you remember any other event in our lifetime when all we actually had something we could all truly agree upon? But here… now, we all can agree on the fact that we are dis-connected. Am I right? I mean, I doubt anyone would deny being frustrated by the uncertainty of how long this whole pandemic will last. And who isn't irritated by their captivity, or fearful of the future? So, I actually decided to share this crazy idea I had after waking up the other morning from an unusual...

Are you tired of that loop of regret which tells you “You’re stuck?” That constant feeling that you’re all alone in this mess? That everyone else has got it all together, while you’re looking for a chance at a do-over? I’ve been there, Warrior. Trapped in the thought that I made all the wrong choices. We all have. Because we can’t avoid those windows of opportunity which pop up without notice. Am I going to tell you that on the other side of your choices, you’ll never experience pain? Or that no one will ever hurt you again? No, I can’t make those promises. But I can share with you a woman's life from the Bible, framed by two windows of opportunity, giving a cautionary tale about the value of making guided choices. It encourages us how to better prepare for right thinking in the moment, whether it’s an opportunity we have time to contemplate, or one we need to make on the fly. So, let’s step into the life of Michal, a woman who endured a true tragedy of the heart, but who’s pain can be purposed to prepare us for our windows, as we learn to walk away without regret.

We've all struggled through seasons in life when we feel powerless to overcome trials and troubles which tend to torment our soul. But no matter whether we proclaim a faith in God or not, we will continue to be oppressed on occasion as we are all subject to a spiritual battle which wages all around us. Yes, we are all participants in an unseen war between good and evil, each spirit rallying to win us to their side. But let us not lose heart, as Jesus encourages, for He has already overcome the world. In fact, He began demonstrating His power over evil even as He ministered here on earth. Join me as we step into the life one such Warrior who began bent over and bound in oppression. But Jesus not only healed her, but freed her, giving her the faith to stand upright before Him, casting off her former shame and realizing the warrior within.

It can take all our energy to be stuck in the middle of two fighting friends, and what we wouldn't give for a peaceful pause to the strife. Jealousy rages, feelings get hurt, backs are turned. And there you stand in the middle trying to give each of them support, challenging your heart to not to take sides. And while these are challenging times to remain steadfast as good friends, don't be surprised if you've ever stood firm and been open about your faith. Because this may actually be a time of testing in the spirit realm. So, give your armor a good tug, Warrior, steady yourself as you take in this spiritual battle and all it has to teach. But don't fear, because you're not alone. In fact, many warriors have been through similar, and even fiercer battles. In fact, if you will give me your time today, we will take a look at some valuable lessons from two warriors who lived out this very real handmaids tale. That's right, today we will be meeting the warriors, Bilhah and Zilpah, two women of the Bible who served sisters bent on a battle, each bearing more boys than the other, leaving these warriors weary in the messy middle.

How do you deal with those days when you can't see past the struggle standing in your way? When you can't move beyond the messy middle, wondering if you’ll ever make it to the end? We've all been there, Warrior. Longing for the hope of a happy ending, but tripping over trials along the way. But what if you stopped to imagine yourself in one of those Netflix series? You know, like the one you can't turn off until you know how it ends. Have you ever noticed that it's actually the difficulties they face which keep you watching? You may be surprised to know, that the Bible is not so different. In fact, that's why I'm inviting you to join me to study the life story of this week's Warrior, Gomer. No, she's not a likely topic for daily devotional, but certainly one worth watching until the end. Because I believe that together she will help us learn how to push past our trials and hold on to the hope for our happy ending.

No one really likes an interruption. Not when it steals your attention, stifles your creativity, or stagnates your progress. I mean, how many times have you planned to accomplish something by a specific time, when someone interrupted you, only to talk your ear off? It can be so hard to even pay attention to what they're saying, when all you can think of is how your whole schedule has just been shifted, altering your attitude and postponing your progress. But what if we were able to see life's interruptions from a new view? One which shifted our perspective, taking in each moment as a teachable, rather than tormented one. Because I believe that's what today's Warrior was privileged to learn, even in the middle of one the greatest interruptions in her life. Yes, she and her husband had lost everything and become refugees. But because they listened and became teachable in the trouble, their perspective shifted. Join me today as we step into the lives of the amazing Warrior, Priscilla, and her husband, Aquila, as we witness how two-gether they formed a partnership of hospitality to spread the gospel.

Today, we are going to step into the life of a Warrior who display's this pattern in such a clear and concise manner, that it will inspire you to put your gifts into practice as a service to others.

No one wants to suffer from a broken promise. Unfortunately, it seems to be a certainty of life, and often at the hand of someone who is completely unaware of the disappointment they have caused us. Although the circumstances of our betrayal vary widely, we often suffer the same range of lonely and abandoned feelings, no matter how brief the blow, or bitter the breakdown. And all too often, these tangled fears and feelings can make our faith hard to find. But thank God for His #GRACE that is able to fill the void and work through even the most difficult disappointments. Yes, even with our various flaws and faults, which cause our faith to falter, God’s grace has the power to transform us into Warriors who overcome. That’s why I’m excited to share our newest Warrior this week, as we will witness just such a transformation. Join me as we step into the life of Tamar, who was abandoned, not only by a broken promise, but also to her own desperate drive to defend her future. Wait until you see how God’s grace brought restoration, renewal and redemption, even to the promise breaker. Join me as we watch a wayward woman, by grace, became a warrior, in spite of the betrayal.

We'd be lying to say we don't fear the future. But each of us has a unique reason for that fear. Is yours related to some trouble that marched itself in, unannounced, snatching your peace, leaving you no way out? Did you feel violated, broken, cheated and alone when that traitor "trouble" took what you'd planned for so long? How come no one warned us that life was so unfair? I mean, don't you ever wondere how things might have turned out differently, if only someone had warned you? Join me today, as we step into the life of a Warrior who seemed to be better prepared for such trouble when it turned up in her life without warning. Let's see what we can learn from the way she took action, making a decisive choice that changed, not only her future, but also the lives of those around her. Let's ditch the lie that we have to fear the future and replace it with the truth that prepares us to fulfill the purpose God has planned for us.

Anyone can sound courageous mapping out a battle plan for others to carry out. But let the flaming arrows begin to fly a little too close to home, and all those brave words can get lost amidst the complaints, confusion and doubt. So how can we better prepare ourselves? Why not take some lessons from a Warrior who demonstrated a courageous FAITH that was also contagious. Someone like Deborah, the Prophetess, who not only managed many roles, as most women do, but at the same time, spoke words of faith which led a nation to victory. Amazingly, she did not let other people’s lack of faith, or their negativity sway her. Nor was she overcome by her own pride, causing her to miss her purpose. Join me as we learn from Deborah how to be a courageous warrior who demonstrates contagious faith when the battle becomes most fierce.

How often do we STAND in line, STAND in for someone who is not available, or even STAND for up for beliefs? But are we doing so because we believe that physically standing is necessary? I mean, especially in today's technology driven world, why stand when you can sit, right? Still, I would argue that if you're a Warrior, questions of posture such as this, are moot. In fact, learning to stand is the first lesson our Warrior this week, Esther has to teach us. I mean, how else could she get the attention of someone with the power and authority to help her fulfill her purpose. But soon we'll see that she wasn't the only one standing. Join me today as we discover the purpose and power of STANDing, and how you too can see victory in life’s battles as you hold the same posture.

Quick survey: Who likes surprises? Depending on your life experience, you may interpret that question in a variety of ways. Some may vividly imagine a room filled with brightly colored streamers and cheerful friends gathered to greet them. While others may only hear the ominous ringtone, which awakens them in the middle of the night, bringing news that changes everything. Even though these examples fall on the either end of the spectrum, each circumstance we face in between will also present itself with a degree of uncertainty. And we would be foolish to believe there was a way to plan every detail of life to avoid it. So, what do we do to avoid those sleepless nights, when our minds won't shut off with worry about the future? You know, during those uneasy times of waiting when our security seems just out of reach. Join me today as we step back into the life of our Warrior, Esther, as her life takes one of these very uncertain turns just when everything seemed to be going her way. Learn how to be clothed with all that God provides in order to be prepared to join Him in the purpose He has prepared for you.

When things aren't going our way, it's easy to believe that God doesn't really care. That He won't even answer if we call. So off we go to the gym every morning, to stay strong and take care of ourselves. But the truth is, that will never prepare us for the inner-strength we will need to get through the tough times alone. So, what are we to do? If you want, I could introduce you to a girl I know. You’ll never believe the trouble that came knocking on her door. She has the most amazing story of survival. You see, once she made her mind up, she realized that God was not only near, but that He had actually been a few steps ahead of her all the time. Would you like to meet her? Join me as we step into the life of a young girl who faithfully stood firm to realize the warrior within.

When was the last time you truly felt inspired? Was it when you heard someone speaking bold wisdom to a crowd? Or were you simply an innocent bystander, witnessing a brave action of integrity? Could it be that through those inspiring words or actions you may have received an overflow of the TRUTH and GOODNESS of God, even though His name was never mentioned? By definition, to be inspired, means to be permeated with the spirit to do something, as if by supernatural or divine influence. So, could it be that the inspiration you received, was actually an in-Spirit-ion? It’s often not until we are willing to take time and honestly reflect that we see how God has woven His influence throughout our lives, directing our purpose. And what a beautiful tapestry of goodness He weaves! Join me in this last episode in the life of Hannah, as we reflect on the brave choices she made which inspired a life of faith and purpose, demonstrating the truth of how God absolutely works all things together for good!

Faced with a difficult situation, many of us know we should pray, but all too often feel inadequate. Still we do our best to cry out to God, asking, hoping, uncertain if we are using the right words. We might even know someone to take our troubles to that we believe has a direct line to God, believing their prayers carry more weight than ours. But how exactly did that person learn the language of prayer? And what qualifies them to enter the spirit realm as a prayer warrior on our behalf? It can often seem so confusing. But prayer doesn’t have to remain a mystery. Join me today as we discover from one woman's prayer, not only a simpler way to talk to God, but a weapon to guard ourselves as we become prayer warriors.

Words. We often throw them about casually, without realizing their power. It doesn't always matter whether they are spoken to us, about us, or by us, words can have the power to overcome or overwhelm us. And all too often, when words overwhelm us, we feel bullied or offended. Did you realize that we can even bully ourselves? That's right! The words we allow to dwell in our thoughts or come out of our mouths can bully us to the point of impacting our identity. That's why I'm so blessed by the lessons our Warrior this week teaches by her actions. She shows us how we can respond in a powerful way in the absence of words. Join me today as we step into the life of Hannah who stood firm in her shoes of peace to overcome when she was being overwhelmed by words.

So many forces throughout our life seem to tell us who we are, from childhood name calling to the conflict and stress which triggers anxiety and depression. All too often we are convinced of the lie that we are not worthy. That our identity is less-than. But the truth is, God wants to step in and reveal how He sees us! He desires, not only to lift our burdens and anxieties, but to speak wholeness and peace over us, claiming us as His own daughters. He wants us to realize our new identity in Christ! Join me today as we take one more look into the life of our Warrior, the Woman with the Issue of Blood. We will dig deeper into the words Jesus speaks over her; the words Jesus speaks over us. Let us claim our identity as Daughters of the King, who have a great and eternal inheritance.
