WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES
A few days ago it was “International Women’s Day”. I was thinking about all the women who have been called to powerful ministries. Most of them endured much pain and affliction in their lives, but remained strong and steadfast in their faith. Katherine Kuhlman once said: "The anointing will cost you everything, but it’s worth it”
The past few months we’ve seen so many women of God going through horrific battles, and I’ve also experienced some myself. After a long week of intense warfare I was sitting in my recliner reading the Word of God, and I heard the Holy Spirit say, “The battles may be fierce, but the women are resilient. They will rebound with strength and tenacity.
Since the beginning of time the enemy has been targeting women. He even targeted the first woman that ever existed. He is still relentlessly trying to degrade, defame and deprive women of their rights, but Jesus is calling the women of God to turn the tables on injustice. These women will no longer be ruled by the opinion of evildoers, or intimidated by the spirit of Jezebel.
As Esther, they know that they’ve been called for such a time as this. They will no longer be bullied by the accuser of the brethren, but rather expose his plans. They will no longer be destroyed by the fiery darts of the evil one but those blazing arrows will boomerang back to where they came from. These mighty women of valor will prevail.
They are those who will take heed to the Word of God, and see themselves as the Lord has created them to be. They are steadfast in their faith, and know that the LORD will go before them, and the God of Israel will be their rear guard. He will give His angels charge over them, to keep them in all their ways.
The Lord says; Women, rise up and be radiant, because you are arrayed in My Glory. You are pure and virtuous and set apart from the world. My bride will not allow herself to be defiled because she walks in holiness with garments of white, without spot or wrinkle. I have placed My signet ring upon her finger and clothe her in My anointing.
She is a carrier of My presence and she releases My glory wherever she goes. The atmosphere changes when she walks into a room. Darkness instantly flees as My glorious light illuminates from her. Her relationship with Me is secure, and no matter how fierce her trials become, she would never consider another love, because she knows Me as her Lord and Savior, and she acknowledges Me as her King; says the Lord.
Proverbs 31:25-26.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”
Isaiah 54:1.
"Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says The LORD.”
Luke 13:12.
“But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
