For such a time as this...

The atmosphere was laced with joy, anticipation, and God's holy presence. You can feel how the Lord had been in the building ready to prepare His ladies for an encounter with Himself.  What made this conference stand out above the rest, was the prayer covering. 

Before the  ENC Women's Conference, ladies on the Spiritual Life Committee were given a list that had the names of the ladies that had registered. Each of those ladies were prayed for out loud, by name. What a difference! The prayers that were lifted up to God, I'm sure were filled with faith, scripture, passion for change, longing for presence, and a commitment to intercede.

God has been echoing to me that it is prayer that will change the circumstances. You see, giving God time in prayer is giving Him your attention and your heart. The enemy wants to stop prayer from happening from the minute you wake up to the minute you lay down, he is battling against you for your attention and your heart.

As I lift up the names of those in my congregation, I know, God has positioned me to intercede. In prayer, I can remind the enemy of his defeat. How he is powerless against the children of God. How I have been given authority to tear down his strongholds and claim the promises of the Lord.

I have a position for a purpose and I have a voice for victory. Jesus intercedes for me, and in prayer I intercede for others. My family, my loved ones, my friends, and my brothers and sisters in Christ.

"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14


We were blessed to hear speakers like, Jennifer Beckham and Percy Moran. They gracefully shared their stories with openness, in hopes that Christ would shine through. That's exactly what happened.
