Lord, I have chosen you alone as my inheritance. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion.

Women of Influence are fearless! This world offers many opportunities to experience fear. With all the uncertainty and issues from the past year as well as the new year, it would be easy to justify being fearful. But God…..did not give us a spirt of fear. He gave us a spirit of power and of love and of a self discipline. God uses our circumstances to stretch and strengthen our faith and to help us get outside of our comfort zones. In doing this He is eagerly asking for us to trust Him because He knows and wants us to believe that all things are possible with Him.  Whenever we…

What does it mean to be a woman of character? When I googled that question the first response I received was; being a woman of character means to think of others. To not live day by day for only yourself, be a change. That statement was immediately followed with the question, “who taught you how to be a woman of character?” The Bible teaches us how to live as woman with Godly character. It’s through our everyday experiences that God refines us and develops the Godly character that will reflect in the world around us. We are living in a time like never before. We need genuine people with integrity and with…

There are friends and then there are “best friends.” The difference is that best friends know every detail about you and they are the ones that you confide in, trust and desire to spend the most time with. Christ gave us a best friend; the Holy Spirit. “If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can’t take him in because it doesn’t have eyes to see him, doesn’t know what to look for. But you…

There is value in head knowledge but there is power when that knowledge is spoken and put into practice. Knowing God’s word will bring many things like peace, joy, correction, comfort and hope. But those things come by putting His word into practice. Godly Women of Influence put God’s Word into practice by declaring it with confidence. They know that by giving voice to the Word, with authority as an Ambassador of Christ, that word carries a lot of weight because it comes from God and God’s word is the final authority. We need to give voice to the Word – boldly declaring the truth of God. Remember it was…

Godly Women of Influence know that the Word of God is the ultimate truth and that…
