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.

So many things strive for our attention that it's easy to be distracted from our first love, God. We don't spend the time we should fellowshipping with one another, studying the Bible, or in prayer. Then, we drift and lose the fiery passion we once had to follow after Christ. Is that what has happened to you? Are you worshipping and praising God with the same enthusiasm you once had? Let's strive to thrive by returning to our first love, the One who so loved us that He gave us His Holy begotten Son so that we might be reconciled to Him and live the abundant life for His glory.

Have you ever woken up feeling exhausted and worn out, even before starting your day? Sometimes, negative emotions like fear and worry can weigh us down and leave us feeling drained. But, it's important to remember that God is calling us to find rest in Him. While our faith requires us to do good work, it's hard to be productive if we don't first find peace for our troubled souls. When someone is under arrest, they are forcefully stopped and handcuffed and may end up doing hard time. When we willingly turn to Jesus for a rest, we are yoked to Him. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Stop resisting a-rest!

Are you hiding from God? You've heard Him calling you to come forth to accept the purpose He has for you to fulfill. Yet, you've not answered or taken one step to follow His call. What is holding you back? What are you afraid of? Saul was chosen to lead the people of Israel when they asked God for a king. When it was time to present him to the people, they couldn't find him. He had hidden in the stuff. Is that what you're doing, hiding in your stuff? Come out, come out from wherever you are. God has work for you to do.
