Week One: One in a Million

Yesterday was the first meeting(s) for the new women's study One in a Million by Priscilla Shirer What did you think? Didn't you just love it? Well I did, I really like Priscilla Shirer studies. Ok so Thursday's after both groups have had a chance to meet, I thought it would be fun to post some interesting things that came out of the study. Now I know that I will be in the morning study but feel free to let me know if something sticks out to you night study ladies (I will try to connect with some of you prior to leaving Wednesday night). So these are things that really came alive for me, feel free to add an comments or e-mail me and I will post your things here if you like!

~*~ It's time for the Pew to reach the Pavement!~*~
What does that mean to you? For me it really confirms that it's time to get up (stop hiding) and get out there and be open to where and with what God wants to do in my life. I need to stop hiding behind the pew and hit the pavement that's where the real work can begin, in me and for others!


~*~Have you Submitted to the Grace of God?~*~

This statement really hit me and made me really look deep at what it means to submit. So Dictionary.com says
sub⋅mit  /səbˈmɪt/ [suhb-mit] –verb (used with object) 1. to give over or yield to the power or authority of another (often used reflexively).
2. to subject to some kind of treatment or influence.
3. to present for the approval, consideration, or decision of another or others: to submit a plan; to submit an application.
4. to state or urge with deference; suggest or propose (usually fol. by a clause): I submit that full proof should be required.

To subject to some kind of treatment, such as God's Grace.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God
God justified us without any cause or reason. It kinda leaves me speechless, and also wanting to find out more.

~*~Each of us must decide if we want to go where God is leading~*~

We have to choose to go, the Egyptians were released by Pharaoh but they had to choose to stay or leave. (Thanks Cindy) They could have just stayed there and Continued to do what they always did, and get what they always got.

Like we have heard a lot of lately: ~*~ You can't do what you've always done and expect different results~*~ or if you always do what you always done you will always get what you always got.

A few ladies in the morning study shared their life verses and so meditate on these this week or find one for yourself.
Priscilla's Life verse:
Galatians 5:1 1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Others:
Exodus 14:13 "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today
Isaiah 43:18-19Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.


Two Questions to Ponder this week:
1. Have you been freed from the person of the Enemy in your life?

2. Have you been freed from the places where the Enemy reigns?

Hope you all have a great week, and will dig into God's word this week! My prayer is that your Shackels will be released (So you can dance!)
Love ya
