Finding Our Muchness and Inheriting Audacious BoldnessIsampula

You Have Permission

In the beginning, God blessed and called both man and woman without hierarchy or distinction. They were commissioned to rule together, as partners, to fulfill the covenantal blessing of fruitfulness and dominion over creation. Yet, sin marred this divine design, distorting their relationship and imposing limitations.

Jesus came to restore all things. He liberates women from the constraints and stereotypes placed upon them. In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit is poured out upon all disciples equally, irrespective of gender. Women in the New Testament serve in diverse roles—founders of churches, teachers, pastors, prophets, evangelists, and apostles. Scripture leaves no doubt that women are called and equipped for ministry.

Throughout history, women have heeded God's call with fervor and passion. They have stood up for the marginalized, cared for the needy, and championed justice and righteousness. Their voices have echoed through the ages, advocating for the lost, the broken, the sick, and the oppressed.

You, too, have permission to embrace your "me’od"— the strength, bravery, wisdom, and boldness God has placed inside you. There are no limits to what God can accomplish through you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, uniquely equipped to impact the world for His glory.

So, dare to step into the purpose for which God created you with confidence and courage. Let your heart burn with love for those in need, and let your hands and feet be instruments of His grace and mercy. As you answer His call, you join a lineage of women who have shaped history and transformed lives for the kingdom of God. Embrace your equal call, and let your life be a testament to His love and power.
