Lioness Arising Week 1 Part 2

Good Afternoon Ladies,
 I pray you all are having a wonderful day. We are going to go over some key scriptures in this post and talk about what God has shown me while reading these first two chapters, then I would like you to post in the comments section about what God is showing you. If you don't mind. Remember we are here to encourage one another.

In Chapter 1 Awaken a Lioness, Lisa talks about a vision God has given her and for fifteen years she thought that vision was just for her, until God opened her eyes and expanded the horizon. The vision was for all daughters of God.

I love how she stated: "Daughters, look at the lioness. Watch her closely let her awaken your untamed nature, your fierce beauty, and your unbridled strength, so you can rise up and be the courageous women I have called you to be." (16)

RISE UP AND BE WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE.....

In Chapter 2 A force Unseen, Lisa talks about what could happen if the women of the world come together for the sake of mankind. Whats are some of the ways we can make our home, neighborhood, churches, community better? Don't sit there and tell yourself you don't have any money to donate its not about that. Yes money does help, but in what other ways can you contribute to the community or others well being. Its one step at a time.

I encourage you to take a good look around you and ask yourself how are you choosing to live. In what ways do we need to change to create a better impact on not just ourselves, but those around us.

NO matter the calling whether is be a teacher, mom, minister, encourager. The lifestyle we choose to live will impact those we come in contact with. Our children, our friends children, parents, family near and extended, etc. God has called them also they just might not realize that yet.

Here are some of the scriptures she has. She uses the message version, but I am going to use NASB version today.
When you get time take a look at the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 woman and a lioness.

Psalm 96:6-13

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 [a]Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
[b]Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 [c]Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name;
Bring an [d]offering and come into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in [e]holy attire;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with [f]equity.”

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea [g]roar, and [h]all it contains;
12 Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before the LORD, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.

John 16:13
13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Luke 12:48
48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of [a]a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more

Isaiah 30:15
15 For thus the Lord [a]GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said,
“In [b]repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength.”
But you were not willing,

Acts 17:28
28 for in Him we live and move and [a]exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’

Matthew 10:16
    16Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so [a]be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.
Proverbs 31:8-98 Open your mouth for the mute,
For the [a]rights of all the [b]unfortunate.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And [c]defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.

Deat Lord, we ask you to lead us as we continue on this journey. We ask you Lord to help us realize your will for our lives, and that we will choose to follow your ways and not our own. Help us to be a light to those around us. In Jesus Name Amen.
