Do you know how a woman becomes powerful? By believing truth. Truth grows like a mustard seed and moves mountains.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who had amazing dreams for who she would become. She was a princess and she knew it. Somewhere along her path she got hurt by someone and she believed whispers in that dark place that her Daddy King had abandoned her in this. So she believed that she had to do a bunch of good to get her Daddy to love her and take care of her again. One by one her big dreams started to die and life happened and she believed less and less of the Word and saw her life more through lenses of crushed dreams and her pain. The lies grew and her belief of them is what activated them to become true.
Then that girl, now fully woman, realized how passionately she was pursued by her Daddy King. He worked on her behalf to teach her truth to replace the lies. She realized how many lies she had believed and repented for agreeing with them. She bathed herself in THE Word and His Words to her and her belief in them activated their truth. It was like the faith of a mustard seed. It started as a declaration in her heart that she would take her Daddy at His Word. That she WOULD believe. And that tiny seed of faith rose, not by her own doing but by His. All He needed from her was a small amount of faith. And He used it to make her powerful in Him. He used it to move mountains, to uproot things and replant.
And this is how the girl, now woman, became powerful. Now, with the truth, there is nothing that can stop her. She knows who she is. She knows where she belongs. She understands that wisdom is hers for the asking and she believes fiercely everything her Daddy says. She runs and does not grow weary, she never faints. She soars. She is powerful!
What lies can you replace with THE truth today so that you can become as powerful as you were meant to be?
