Nothing and no one was created and birthed by the Lord for no reason. There is always a reason.<\/p>\n<p>So often life and words have told us as women that our purpose is to live, to work, to have children and then to die. But God has so much more for us. He had very specific purposes in mind when He set about forming sand He has carefully placed within us everything in terms of gifting, personality, Grace and ability in order to find and that purpose. When we see ourselves less than who God says we are we trample and close up the fullness and potential God has placed in us.<\/p>\n<p>The words that we allow to run around in our heads ll either push us towards the purposes of God or will stifle any growth and faith towards being who the Lord created us to be in the first place. We need to identify these things and either allow them more room in our lives or deal with them if they&#8217;re holding us back.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many reasons we have low self images or have minds that quickly run to negative criticisms about ourselves and we must uncover these and bring them to the Lord for Him to heal, cancel, restore and empower. As we blog together let us explore the potential of great freedom in God and the exciting journey of discovering and fulfilling His purposes for our lives.<\/p>\n<p>I love the positive declaration and affirmation from Bonnie and Mahesh Chavda: &#8220;A woman made in the image of God and born again by His Spirit will be like the Lion of the tribe of Judah who made her. her approach to life, the manner and means by which she deals with her identity, how she interacts with society, her response to life experiences and circumstances &#8211; all these will spring from the genetic replica of her Father in heaven, an empowering fire from within. She was born for this, to reflect the glory and image of God. At least she has been give that opportunity, capability and destiny.&#8221; &#8220;The Hidden power of a Woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Pastor Lindsey Lefebure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God\u2019s daughters need to come to the realization and acceptance that we have a special call, function and destiny from God.
