SPIRITUAL GROWTH FOR WOMEN MINISTRY

To Bestow On Them A Crown Of Beauty

Romans 8:31 (Everyday Life Bible - Joyce Meyers)

Sad to say, sometimes we discover people are also against us.  Satan does not always work alone in the spiritual realm; he also works through people in the natural realm.  He attacks our confidence through the things people say or do not say.  He can cause us to feel unworthy or rejected because of another person's words or actions.

Most of us, to some extent, need to be delivered from the fear of people and from caring too much about what others think.  People who always need the approval of others desperately want everyone to look at them from head to toe and say, "Perfect."  when they do any kind of a job, they want everybody to look at it and say, "Perfect."  In everything they do -- the way they look, the things they say, every action they take -- they want people to say, "Perfect".

We need to be confident that God accepts us with our imperfections.  Even though He continues to work in us to make us more Christlike, we do not have to struggle to win His approval or the approval of others.  If God is for us -- and He is -- we do not need to fear anyone who is against us.

Heavenly Father, I pray that today, that the women of God are released from the spirit of fear, that causes them to need the approval of man.  I pray dear Lord that you place on the inside of the women the spirit of adoption and by that knowing without any doubt that Your approval and Your love, and Your acceptance is the only thing that they should seek after. Lord I also pray that Your release the women from the spirit of shame.  I am hearing You right now that the spirit of shame and guilt is not of You and that Your are loving them, not matter what.  Don't let them sink into the spirit of fear, shame or guilt, thank you for Your Spirit (the Holy Spirit) that you are releasing upon them today.  In Jesus Christ name, Amen.
