Women of God: The Identity Crisis

It’s time for God’s Queens to arise.

It’s time for us to invest in our health, relationships, and lives like never before.

It’s time for us to take our place. 

I see so many of God’s Queens living below their means–living defeated, broken, hurt, and restrained. I see so many of God’s Queens settling for less, struggling to stand on and live out the standard of what God’s Word says about us and how it calls us to live, interact with others, and think about ourselves. I see such a distraction among the body of Christ–a preoccupation with the way that the world and/or culture does things or values things, so much so that we have exalted that and valued its benefits above the call of God in our day to day lives and lives in general.

The bible calls us to be in the world but not of it. The bible lets us know that all of creation is groaning for the sons and daughters of God to take their place. We are here on assignment.

What happens when we are too distracted with the world to get past the spiritual basics and into carrying it out?? I see how we have suffered because of that. .

If you knew (and knew how to live out) your identity in God, the way you approached relationships would shift. What you tolerated or allowed would shift in your romantic and platonic interactions. What you pursued in business, in a career, would shift. How you handled yourself in person and online would shift. How you think about (and approach) what is going on in the world today would shift.

When you don’t know who you are, someone or something else will try to define and mold that for you. When, as a woman of God, you don’t grow in that identity, the enemy himself rejoices as he begins to dilute what God is trying to do in and through you with carnality, focus on vanity, preoccupation with the world and things of the world, and the issues of life to weaken and distract you further. You become stuck.

When you know who you are in God and you walk in that daily, you become powerful, purposed, intentional, grounded. Your anointing increases. The assignment of God for your life becomes clearer, and you are actually more prepared to walk in that purpose.

But, so many things are distracting so many of us with the perks, quirks, and ways of this world and culture–many of which, from the natural eye, look so much more appealing than God’s standard.

We compromise our identities to take part in what it has to offer, not realizing it weakens our power, authority, anointing.

Not realizing it separates us from God and distracts us from purpose. In such incredibly significant times as these we simply cannot afford to be lukewarm, distracted, separated from our identities and purposes in God any longer.

You have such an incredible part to play in your role and purpose as a woman of God. There is a reason why you are in the earth at this time, but how can you accomplish God given purpose separated from God given identity?

You cannot love God and the world at the same time.

A full yes to God calls you out from among the world, the culture, the masses.

Your difference becomes brighter, louder, even more obvious.

It is necessary for you to live out and walk out what God has called you to in the earth. Otherwise, the enemy can distract you and pervert/warp the passions and desires God has given you and instead offer you a mediocre version of the vision God has for your life.

Women are not door mats, second fiddles, weak, or helpless. God has called us to be powerful, connective, transformative. God has called us to be happy, healthy, prosperous, whole–full of wisdom, favor, and influence.

I’m here today to help you remember who you are in Christ and remind you to challenge yourself to fully walk in that identity in the midst of this world and culture, so you can set this world on fire walking in the anointing and purpose that God has uniquely given you.

It’s bigger than us, but to get to the bigger, we gotta be sound in who we are—grounded in our God given identity and power— not swayed or influenced by the power, identity, or attention the world offers.

It’s time to mature, Queen. Aren't you ready?

I believe in you,
