Finding Freedom Catalyst Women

It's so easy to see when things don't go our way as a failure.  No one likes failing.  None of us like being humbled and waiting for God's timing and ways.  It's hard.  In Judges 20 the Israelites show us a powerful process to victory even when things in the natural looked as though they were failing and losing a battle.

They asked the Lord what He would have them to do- "Fight"

Two times they did as they Lord instructed and in all terms of the natural it looked like failure, felt like defeat.

The third time they went to the Lord- they fasted, prayed, and worshipped.  The word remained the same as the two previous times,  but this time He would hand the tribe of Benjamin over.

If you are in a moment or season where it feels like failure or you are questioning that you heard God wrong, ask again.  Wait.  And as soon as you hear the directive, go- you never know what victory obedience will lead to!  God causes all things to work for good!  I'm cheering you on.

Stay Focused. Keep Fighting.

Leading with fear does two things: it leaves a gap in the body of Christ and prevents it from growing. God has given each of His sons + daughters gifts to be used. The enemy is a deceiver and a destroyer- nothing will cripple you + destroy you faster than fear. Decide today to stop letting it lead. You deserve better, the body of Christ needs you!

This one thing will keep you stuck if you don't change it.  We all go through valley seasons, or middle moments that we don't like and wish we could move through quickly, but I've come to realize both in my own experiences and women that I have worked with is that one thing dictates the length of those tough seasons.

Mindset. 

The way we think about things changes everything.

What we focus on expands.

Regardless of season or circumstances, we get to choose whether we elevate what we are experiencing in the natural or declaring God's truth and promises above all else?

Join me today as we talk through these middle moments, some ways to re-write the narrative from victim to victor, and a few questions that will help you reset your mind to thrive in any season.

God has called you to freedom.  Stay focused. Keep Fighting!  You can do this!

Each of us were created with a purpose, but somewhere along the way we either get lost, confused, or distracted with understanding what we have been created for and how to do it.

The principles that we share are ones that we live by each day.  Proven strategies that will help you live with intentionality each day.

A solider would never head into battle without proper protective gear.  As a marital artist I have engaged in countless fights, always with padding + a mouth guard, and I would never choose it any other way.

Ephesians 6 tells us that we are in a battle every single day, a war that is raging around us.  

Do we suit up for battle every day or do we head out + about our day unaware and unprepared with what is happening around us/ to us?

These armor pieces that Paul shares gives us solid pieces that we can claim for protection, defense, and how to fight back, but it's crucial that we don't get those three categories confused.

Whether you have grown up in the church or not I hope there is something that resonates or encourages your spirit as you listen!

Thanks for listening! Rise up, friend!  God has won the battle, do not let your heart be troubled!

Our enemy operates best in deception and distraction.  Have you ever thought about why Satan chose to tempt Eve first?  The Hebrew name given for woman is Ezer- Kenegdo which translates to, "one who rescues or saves.  One who responds to cries for help."  There is something so powerful about Eve and not only who she was, but how she was made and what she represented.

After God created Eve, something about her brought this completion and wholeness together and in that the first institution was created- marriage.

This symbolism we see carried out through the rest of the Bible where God uses Christ as the groom and the Church as His bride for the type of sacrificial and selfless love God has for His sons and daughters.

We need godly women to own their femininity and godly men to own their masculinity.
