Freedom Series – The Power of Woman (Part 2)

In our last video, we talked about freedom from oppression for women and we wanted to do a follow-up video thinking through more of the practicalities. What does it look like for women to take responsibility for their own freedom? And what does it look like for a guy, maybe for your wife, girlfriends, or daughters, how do you empower them to walk in all that God has put in them? We’re talking about women flourishing and just living up to all that God has put in them but in a beautiful way, responding to the call of God on their lives.

So, ladies, I get asked a lot, how has God taken me on this journey? How has God taken me from someone who, at one point, was questioning the call of God on my life or whether that was my own sinful desire, to a woman who feels empowered and liberated in what I’ve seen in scripture? And I can only tell you from my own journey, the first thing, you’ve got to do the work in terms of reading scripture and coming to a place of peace in your own heart. What do you feel that God is saying about you and your call? Keep a journal of what God is speaking over your life. Keep feeding and feasting on the words that He’s spoken over you rather than allowing the culture around us to dictate to us who or what we should be. Be courageous. This is a battle in the body of Christ. Embrace your femininity. This whole series is to present the heart of our Papa and to love each other as we express what’s on our hearts.

For the guys, create a context for the women around you so that they be able to flourish. The best thing for women in the body of Christ, I believe, is for them to feel like they are pursued to fully flourish. Spend time with the Father and invite Him to come and blow apart the boxes that we put Him in. The reality is how we see Him is how we’re going to represent Him. Lead women all around you so that they’ll be able to walk into their own destiny. You were created to change the world, to shape nations. What we’re really asking is for you to partner with us, to envision us and give us courage and strength. I believe that this is one of the most significant issues that faces the body of Christ and I feel like God has given our generation a unique privilege to see this battle won completely. This is for every woman and for every man that we would walk alongside each other fully free and fully empowered to see the Kingdom of God on Earth.
