You have to make the decision that you’re going to STAND in your faith, Sis! That’s the GRIT that’ll position you to receive the GRACE of God for your life.

Did you know that walking out the purpose of your life is going to take both grit AND grace? If you want to be positioned to receive the grace, you’re going to have to stand with grit. You’re going to have to make a decision that — no matter where you started or what you had in your hands to begin with — God can get you what you need, when you need it, so you can prosper fully in your purpose, Amen!

Sometimes we get to a place where we’re not seeing the promise come to pass… we’re not seeing the “thing” manifesting in our world. This is often because we’re just “waiting for the grace to fall,” but we haven’t positioned ourselves in the grit (the faith with works) that will actually bring the thing to fruition.

Have you just been hoping for the grace of God to fall so that you can finally do the thing you feel like you were called to do? If so, it’s okay to decide that now is the time to lean in and take active steps so you can have a different experience in your world. That’s why on this week’s episode, I’m sharing the message that I released at a recent Jesus Girl Gang’s Ministry Night: Grit + Grace.

If you’re a Jesus girl who’s got it in her heart to truly move in the grace of God as you build big and beautiful things with and for Him here in the earth, but you haven’t experienced the grace that helps you to flow in that way, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God will flow His grace in and through you as you couple your faith with the grit of God! If you need a little help walking in both grace AND grit… Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

LET’S STAY CONNECTED, SISTER! If you’re looking for a place where you can connect with other like-minded, like-spirited, faith-filled women like yourself… women who will encourage, support and sharpen you as you desire to live as a Proverbs 31 woman in this modern age, I want to invite you to connect with us in the REVIVE Woman community. Give us a follow on Facebook and Instagram. And if you’d like weekly encouragement right into your email inbox, head over to revivewoman.org/community to get onto our mailing list. Then be sure to save the date for our BEHOLD REVIVE Woman Conference on May 15-17. More details to come!

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

Hebrews 4:10-11
For whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

Psalm 84
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! [Selah]

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! [Selah]

Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed! For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!

Numbers 16 — Korah’s Rebellion

1 Samuel 14:6
Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”
