CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH HIS STRENGTH

If ever our families and husbands, our communities and churches, and a lost dying world needed us to be strong and stable, clothed with Christ and His strength, I believe that time is right now. Our King is calling us to arise and be glorious in the earth – His bride – His Church!

The Lord is my strength and my defense, He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my Father’s God and I will exalt Him!  Exodus 15:2

This is a time for His daughters to clothe themselves with His garments of beauty and splendor! It’s time to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that would attempt to come upon us. It’ time to arise and put on the Lord Jesus Christ.

WHAT CHOICE WILL YOU MAKE TODAY?
Everyday, as women we will choose to either put up with the enemy and his tauntings and lies, or we will choose to put on strength and truth and the glorious garments and enemy proof armor of God. The choice you make will affect your whole day.

THE WISE WOMAN BUIILDS… IN HIM
As a woman you are not only called to be strong in Him, but to build, and you are equipped to do it beautifully! Proverbs 14:1 tells us that the wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one plucks it down with her own hands.  As we clothe ourselves with His strength and allow the greater one in us to arise we can accomplish so much! God is calling us all to a higher level in Him for the days and times we are in.

I NEED YOU TO BE STRONG IN ME….
I believe God is saying to us today, “I need you to be strong in Me, to be a light and a strength for your family, your community, and for those around you!

Isaiah 52: 1 – 2
Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city.
For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you.
Shake yourself from the dust, arise; sit down, O Jerusalem!
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!

THE UNSEEN RESOURCES OF HEAVEN
If any woman should be strong and confident in these times, it should be us, the women of God! Do you realize we have the unseen resources of heaven to draw from? We have the unlimited power of God’s life giving word, not only as our weapon but as a creative force in the earth! When we have the high praises of God in our mouth and a two-edged sword in our hands, we are unstoppable in Him, in Christ Jesus!

GOD CONFIDENCE AND STRENGTH
Our confidence is not in ourselves or our own strength, but it is a God confidence and strength as we go deeper in Him. What we need in this hour is a faith and a confidence in Christ that goes so deep that no circumstance or situation can move us.

When our confidence and our strength are in Him, there is no giant, no problem or situation we cannot face head on. We need to be reminded that we are not just called to conqueror,  but we are empowered by God’s grace to more than conquer in every crisis and situation!

Today, I want to encourage you with a personal word the Lord gave me at a time when I desperately needed His strength to go on.

LOOK TO ME, I AM YOUR STRENGTH
“Fix your eyes upon Me, for I am the Lord, strong and mighty! Put your confidence and trust in Me, not in weak or frail humanity. Clothe yourself with strength, put it on like a garment today. Look to Me, says the Lord.

Do not be fearful or dismayed, look unto Me and I will show you the way. For when you look at yourself and your situation, all you see are limitations, limited time, limited ability, and limited financially.

So I say, look unto Me for I am your rock, your strength, your stability and your peace. With Me there are no impossibilities, no limitations, for I am the God of all creation.

Fix your eyes upon Me and see all the possibilities. For I have not called you just to cope, but I am the God of all hope, And I have called you to rise up in Me, victoriously!
