Women On The Frontlines: A Call To Courageنموونە

You are Chosen

Consider for a moment the women whose lives we have profiled. They are so different from each other in race, nationality, culture, background, and time in history. What is the common bond between them? What connects Joan of Arc, Vibia Perpetua, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Aimee Semple McPherson, Lydia Christensen Prince, Bertha Smith, Corrie ten Boom, and Jackie Pullinger?

Very simply, they are all ordinary women who knew an extraordinary God. When they gave to Him their very ordinariness, when they came to Him in their human weakness, He showed Himself strong on their behalf and used them in extraordinary ways.

You may feel that you are the least qualified for God to use and the most unlikely candidate for His Spirit to fall upon. But you know what? You are just the kind of person He chooses! God makes a point of choosing the weak things of the world to shame the mighty and the foolish things of the world to shame the wise (see 1 Cor. 1:27). God is revealed and glorified in your weakness.

When you accept yourself as among those whom God has chosen, you must understand that your position carries great responsibilities as well as privileges. I am so thankful that the Lord is bringing a release for women in ministry today. He is setting us free and unshackling our voices, our arms, our legs, and our hearts. In the midst of it all, though, we must be careful to keep our focus pure. In the days ahead, we will have opportunities for far more battles than we can possibly endure. Therefore, we must choose wisely and carefully discern the battles that the Lord has given us to fight.

Listen closely and look deeply for what you can glean from these women. They would say to you, Serve the Lord with all your strength. Love him with all your being. Do not miss the day of your visitation. While it is yet your day, seize it. Seize your destiny, your calling, your opportunity. Seize the day! Yes, there is a call to courage being pronounced in our day. Warriors are being searched for, and are desperately needed.
