Welcome to Women of Valour which is about
YOU
experiencing your freedom in Christ, being set free,
experiencing the love of God, and opening your blinded eyes
Isaiah 61:1
I was having a conversation with a dear sister in Christ and this thought process came up: What is my viewpoint now of God? I gave her my answers like God is love and peace. These are words that come to the mind very quickly but I thought about it more in depth. I thought about the "how" I can believe what I believe? Also, where and how my viewpoint has and was developed. You may be able to identify with some, all, or none. But trust me God, Our Father, wants to reveal HIMSELF to each of us in these ways and more.
God is Love to me because I know beyond a shadow of
doubt that HE loves me. How do I know this? When I was at my lowest points
God, My Father would give me HIS Word or send someone across my path to speak
life to me. When I thought I was unlovable HE loved me anyway. HIS love was and is unconditional.
God is My Forgiver
because HE has forgiven ALL of my past sins. How do I know this? When I was burdened
down with sin and had no one to turn to HE took my load and lifted me up. He
showed me what it was like to walk without ALL of my baggage. He showed me that
I could actually walk with HIM and enjoy being a Christian.
God is My Deliverer because He set me free. How do I know this?
When I was sitting in my many prison cells within my own mind. He showed me
that the HIS Son, Jesus Christ had already opened any and every prison cell I
could possibly think and speak my way into. He opened my prison cell and walked me out of the prison into HIS FREEDOM.
God is My Peace because
HE gave me HIS peace. How do I know this? When I was hearing many voices in my
mind. He gave me peace of mind. He turned ALL the voices off so that I could
hear HIS voice and mine. He has and is training me to distinguish between HIS
voice and the enemy. HE gave me peace to replace the chaos.
God is My Father
because HE provided for me. How do I know this? When I had more bills than
money. He helped my cars last longer than they should have. He kept a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and shoes on my feet. My Father ALWAYS provided EVERYTHING I needed.
God is My Protector
because HE protected me. How do I know this? When I was having sex outside of
marriage, He kept me from having a child without being married first. HE kept
me from getting a disease while I was out doing my dirt.
God is My Healer
because He has healed my body. How do I know this? When I had surgery twice in
my life HE brought healing to my body. When I was in car accidents he healed
the aches and pains I experienced. He has healed my body more times than I can
count in major and minor ways. HE is healing my Mother from her surgery in
major ways.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, show me my viewpoint of God as my Father!!!
