3 ways to grow into your Visionary Leadership Faster than Most.
Learning the truth about how we are gifted by God, for women, is not always something to celebrate especially if it is the gift of leadership and/or administration but we can learn it.
There are three significant acts you can take now to begin growing into your visionary leadership faster than most will.
- Don’t ignore your gift of leadership.
- Accept it as a Small Portion of Your Gifts.
- Follow Jesus in this Freedom.
Ignorance is NOT Bliss
I spent a lot of celebrating my leadership gift then hating it then celebrating then hating. It was a long process of back and forth so the Lord could work the hatred out of me.
I ignored my longing to lead to grow my vision yet how was I able to grow into my vision without activating my leadership gifts.
Just a Small Portion of my Gifts
It was impossible to be who I was created to be when I ignored how God has gifted me. I wasn’t being real because I wasn’t using every gift the Lord has given me.
Until I accepted my gifts I would never be free to accomplish them. I would never be free to be real and genuine in my service to the Lord or to women.
I learned that although Lady Leaders are controversial, leadership is only a small portion of my giftings.
Freedom to Follow Jesus
Once I got past the doubt of reality I was able to accept those male dominated gifts and actually activate my whole vision from God.
The freedom I felt to just follow Jesus and not man was so freeing. The opposition did not stop but the freedom to ignore it was more powerful than their opposition.
“Lead or Bust” Workshop
Ignoring opinions is much more appropriate than ignoring my gifts because they busted out of me anyway. It was so much harder to hold myself back from leading than it was to ignore peoples opinions about women leaders in the Kingdom.
Knowing the truth and allowing it to sink into freedom is imperative because you will always have a longing to lead.
This workshop is just in time for all of us. Lady Leaders are much more powerful when they accept their role and grow into it with freedom.

The Re-Use of the Wretched
If you are listening to the news there are so many wretched things happening to humans today including things that are legal to do.
We are beating people with all manner of weapons over a tree. We are killing babies for convenience. We are hazing people for fun. What’s happening is that love is going cold (Matthew 24:12) because of this lawlessness.
The Good News
Lawlessness is the reason we are being called into ministry. If there wasn’t lawlessness there would be no need for us to lead ministries that change lives.
The bad news is that your own lawlessness has given you the experience needed to run this ministry with compassion. Your healed heart from the experiences you have endured, is how your ministry will lead others to the power of Jesus.
Your Wretched Experience is the Catalyst
The fact that you have endured that wretched experience and have a testimony of complete healing from Jesus will be the catalyst for your ministry. The Lord is going to make all things new for you not all new things.
The ministry you create and lead is the gateway to their heart healing because the Lord has healed you. Before that you will not be able to speak with power out of pain. Your power will come from your healing and compassion for those who are going through the same thing.
The hard part is that Jesus may hold you back from ministry until you are completely healed and ready to testify.
Emotionally Healed
This complete healing is of the anger, disgust, sorrow, grief and pain you are holding because of the wretched thing someone else did or what you have done as a result.
Your healing can be the bodies healing because we, as leaders, are rooted and ground in Jesus Christ. If we are not, than we should be chasing this with everything we have. As leaders and leaders in the making our faith needs to be firmly fixed on Jesus.
Re-use of Your Healing Testimony
Your testimony is what brings people to Christ. It is not that you healed yourself but that Jesus gave you the tools to be healed and the time in which to do it thoroughly.
It is when you realize that the Lord has turned all of this wretched stuff into something new that you can testify of His goodness to those He wants you to testify too. He reuses your healing testimony over and over again until you fully understand the healing as well.
Prepare Your Life for Leadership
Christian living is not an easy task because the world tries to draw us back into pain and sorrow, over and over again. The Lord has commanded us to persevere through every testing and trial.
You will only be able to persevere the way Jesus has created you to do it. Each one of us is unique in who we are and have different needs to move forward.
