Today's episode will guide you to the first steps toward transforming from a woman burdened with feelings of rejection, low self-esteem, fear, and worries to becoming the warrior God created you to be. God wants to heal you of your soul diseases and help you live in the fullness of who He created you to be. It's time for women, to rise up.

The story of Gideon begins in the sixth chapter of Judges. He was hiding the wheat (and himself) in a winepress for fear of Midianites when the Angel of the Lord appeared and called him a "mighty man of valor." Gideon believed he was just a common, ordinary man. He didn't have any skills as a warrior. In Judges 6:15, he said, "... my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house." He didn't see what God saw; he had created him to be a warrior. Now, it's being revealed to him what God had intended before his birth.

You are kingdom women, and it's time for your reveal. Take your place as a mighty woman of valor. Women! Rise! Up!

If you don't know the story of Lazarus, please read it in John chapter 11. Today, I will ask you about one of the statements Lazarus' sister Mary raised when Jesu arrived at her brother's graveside. He had been dead for four days, and his body would have been decaying. The decomposition would cause the body to fill with gases, emitting a strong, nauseating stench. That happens when we hold onto bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, rejection, and worry. Wounds in our souls begin to stink. Have you ever heard the expression, "Saved, but not delivered"? Our hearts can become hard like stone, and a stench will rise from within, affecting our character. Let's examine ourselves and see if it stinks behind our stones.
