We have heard a lot this week about the hatred for us as women, and how hard the enemy is trying to get to us.\u00a0 This is very important, something we need to be aware of so that we can be prepared when under attack.\u00a0 But what I want to leave you with as we finish this chapter is that all is not lost.\u00a0 There is hope<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 When we put our faith in Jesus, there is always hope.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I love what the book of Romans has to day about hope:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God\u2019s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. <\/i>Romans 5:2-5<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Amen my sisters.\u00a0 HOPE DOES NOT PUT US TO SHAME.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Do not let the trials we face cause you to cave.\u00a0 Let it bring you to your knees, to the feet of our Great Redeemer.\u00a0 In Him we receive our hope.\u00a0 You are passionately loved by the God of the universe. And my wish for you is that, May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope<\/i>. (Romans 15:13)<\/p>\n

LET\u2019S PRAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Father, I have a special prayer today for every woman You have brought here. Some women have been wounded by the special hatred the enemy has for her. I pray that each one will see the enemies lies for what they are. Lord, reveal to them the awesome beauty, strength, love and power that You have blessed them with. Have them feel the truth and hope You have to offer.\u00a0 In Your Heavenly Name I pray.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n

YOUR ASSIGNMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The authors of this book stated,\u00a0<\/i>“You really won’t understand your life as a woman until you understand this:\u00a0<\/i>You are passionately loved by the God of the Universe. \u00a0<\/i>You are passionately hated by His Enemy.”<\/i><\/p>\n

With that in mind, we also need to remember: \u00a0A<\/strong>s\u00a0the\u00a0daughter of the most High King,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>we have been given all power over the Enemy! \u00a0We have been chosen the Most High King, sought out, pre-destined, from the beginning of time. \u00a0Jesus came so that we could be healed from our brokenness! \u00a0It’s time to run to Him!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Are you beginning to believe it?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
