Empowerment

"Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you." - Les Brown


Empowerment is inner strength, boldness, wisdom, the ability to face a challenge without fear or rejection, authority. Being empowered means that fear is no longer the driving force or compelling factor in deciding who we are. “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” II Timothy 1:7

As children of God we have the power to tread over anything that the enemy puts in our path. So then why do we struggle with timidity, shyness, the “I can’t do it syndrome”? Because we have not allowed the Spirit of God to empower us with His strength. The power of God has already been given to us; all we have to do is accept it. He says in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Like a withered flower, so are we when we do not embrace the power of God. Allow God to heal and empower you to be all that you are in Him. Study His word daily (II Timothy 2:15). Seek His face daily (Isaiah 55:6). Seek God like this is the last day of your life. Say to yourself, “I will not go another
day without seeking God for His fullness and power, for the strength of the Lord is my empowerment.”

Let us take back what the enemy has stolen from us.
