The theme for this year’s Flourish Conference—Boots on the Ground: Advancing the Kingdom Together— will kick off a year long focus on what it means to be a woman in the Kingdom of God. If that brings to mind princess images, that is not where we are going with this!
Although it is true that a daughter of a king is a princess, the daughter of the King of Kings is much more than a fairy tale princess ever could be! Woman of God, how you understand your identity determines how you live your life. A wise woman understands who she is in the Father’s eyes, and I’m pretty sure this is not something she acquires by accident.
Rather, it comes as she spends time with the Lord in prayer and in His Word. And even more than that, a woman who is confident in her Kingdom identity has chosen to believe what God says about her and is walking—or learning to walk—in that truth. She doesn’t believe the lies of the enemy and the opinions of the world do not sway her. She trusts her King and wants to please Him. She wants His will. His way. His timing.
A Kingdom woman isn’t perfect, but she walks in confidence because she knows His grace is sufficient for every need. She isn’t striving for perfection because she knows her perfection is in Christ alone. She is a woman of faith. She has learned that God is always faithful, so she trusts Him through life’s ups and downs. She knows He is her strength. He is her hope. He is everything.
A Kingdom woman celebrates the gifts God has given her and is using them to encourage and build up the body of Christ. She is actively pursuing her calling and purpose, knowing God has a plan for her life that is good. She seeks to advance the Kingdom of God in all that she does and shares the Father’s heart in reaching the lost.
A Kingdom woman recognizes that there is a spiritual war going on, but isn’t afraid because she knows her King is over all, in all and through all. He reigns! His authority is the final word. She knows the battle belongs to the Lord, so she is willing to stand in the gap for those who are held prisoner by the enemy.
Does this Kingdom woman seem too good to be true? Precious woman of God, our great God is looking for Esthers and Deborahs who will fight for their families, churches, communities, and nations. He knows our every weakness and flaw, but He also knows the woman He created us to be and put us here on planet Earth right now for a reason. A Kingdom woman is God’s woman. She lives to love Him and serves Him wholeheartedly.
A Kingdom woman knows that it’s going to take all of us together, encouraging and strengthening one another, helping each other to be all we were created to be. She is willing to work along side other imperfect women and call out what God sees in them. She builds up and does not tear down. She speaks life and calls forth blessing. She doesn’t hold grudges and forgives as the Lord forgave her.
If you’re thinking, “I could never be all those things.” You are right! Our God is famous for taking less than ordinary people and turning them into heroes of the faith. Only God can take an ordinary woman and make her an Esther or a Deborah or a Hannah, or an Abigail. This is what God does!
Hope to see you at The Flourish Conference! Let’s grow together.
