The car came to a stop at the side of the road. How could I have gotten to such a low point in my life? In the pursuit of happiness and acceptance, I felt as if I had dug myself a murky pit and couldn't get out of it. The harder I tried, the deeper I seemed to sink. I was losing my mother, the only person I thought loved me for me. There in the dark, I tried bargaining with God. Take me, God, and spare my mother. She has done so much for the church. She deserves to continue living. All I have done is destroy my life. What good am I? Why would you want someone like me? As soon as those words left my lips, the words that had been spoken to me by a prophet started sounding so clear in my mind. A warm, comforting feeling began to envelop me. The desperation was leaving me. I knew how I could contribute. There in the dark, I found a way to give hope to all who didn't know how to find it.

And that they will know that God’s love for them is steadfast, unconditional, unfailing and unmovable. And to enlighten the eyes of their hearts to know the plan, will, purpose, mandate and kingdom destiny that Abba Father has ordained for them before the foundation of the world. And to open their eyes so they may know the hope to which He has called them and the riches of His glorious inheritance that He has for them in His kingdom. God has called them to His kingdom for such a time as this, to place glory, honor and favor on them and to give them an inheritance among the family of God and to use them for His glory. And to help women establish the kingdom in their hearts and make them aware of Jesus Christ redemptive work for their life, and that He was sent to atone for their sins and through His blood and sacrificial life there is forgiveness of sin and that He is the way of eternal salvation. And to inspire women all over the world to know their value and self-worth, that they are priceless jewels and queens who were miraculously and wonderfully made in the image and likeness of God, and they don’t have to settle for anything or any kind of treatment. And they don’t have to compromise or lower their standard to be loved. And to encourage women to come out of sin and out of that abusive and ungodly relationship and come to Jesus, the Bishop and Lover of their soul and let Him love on them, clean them up and heal them with spiritual intimacy because He loves them with an everlasting love. His love for them is real, genuine, eternal, free and without hidden agenda. I want to challenge every woman to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and receive God's agape love through His Son. Jesus is the answer to all of your problems and He will quench your hunger and thirst for love. Once you come taste and see that the Lord is good, loving and kind you will be satisfied. I want to ignite women to rise up and take their rightful place in the kingdom of God as a chayil, strong, loving, noble, vibrant God-fearing kingdom woman who will minister to the Lord and serve Him in spirit and in truth. And be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord, which is your reasonable act of spiritual worship. I also want to illuminate biblical understanding to women that it is because of the goodness and lovingkindness of God that they live, move, and have their beings, and because of His compassion and tender mercy that they have not been consume by the devil. And that their bodies are for the Lord and the Lord for the body and encourage women to rise up and come out of Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlot, come out of sexual slavery, come out of the house of bondage, come out of sexual immorality and sexual uncleanness, come out of perversion and adultery. And receive with meekness the engrafted word of God which is able to save your soul and make you whole and complete. And to admonish women of all backgrounds to take a stand for righteousness, holiness, sexual purity, and receive the word of life and the word of hope that gives them everything pertaining to life and godliness and an eternal future. And to pursue peace and godliness because godliness with contentment is great gain, it's great wealth, it's true riches and brings great profit. Jesus Christ is satisfaction guarantee, He is the way, the truth and the life of God. Women don't be depraved of mind and devoid of the truth, but walk in present truth and be chayil in your sexual character, spirit, soul and body, and set your heart ablaze and ignite a passion to be zealous for spiritual things and to seek the kingdom and God, and be fervent in spirit and love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love yourself and your neighbor as yourself. This is a clarion call for all women all over the world to come out of darkness into God's marvelous light and to turn from the power of Satan to the power of Jesus Christ and be translated into His kingdom and have a godly, sound, calm, well-balanced and renewed mind, and a transformed, caring, loving and pure heart.
