I am the above named person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr. William Oliver who died in the year 2007. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days when he visited his village. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$15 Million United States Dollars ( Fifteen Million United States Dollars) in a financial Institution. I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer; my Doctor told me that I would not last due to the cancer problem. From all indications, the cancer has gotten to a very dangerous stage. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a good person that will utilize this huge amount of money the way i am going to instruct herein. I want you to use this fund for orphanages, widows and also build schools for less privileges that will be named after my late husband if possible. Assure me that you will act accordingly as I state herein.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoping to receive your response immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks and Remain blessed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours of Good Heart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mrs. Modesta Oliver.&lt;/div&gt;

Her willingness to enter the race, her obedience to her authorities, her ability to sacrifice and surrender, and her wisdom in dealing with the enemy brought her victory.  She was able to triumph in the middle of crisis.  The devil lost, and Esther and her people won!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther the champion did something we should all do.  She planned her strategy and found a course to take so they might win the battle.  She knew the cost involved could mean her life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good planners make successful leaders.  Joseph, through a dream from the Lord, knew he had to plan for seven good years and seven bad years.  Noah knew through the Lord speaking to him that he had to plan for a flood.  He heard the voice of God who told him how to fashion (plan) the ark.  Moses received plans for the tabernacle.  David dreamed about building the temple where God could dwell, and his son Solomon continued that dream, planning and completing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Champions are rising all over the world today.  Champions of righteousness are coming on the scene.  Champions are expecting the Lord to work on their behalf.  They are delighted to be serving &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt; and His children.  Recognizing they have a purpose on this earth, they desire to fulfill the assignments God has entrusted to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter who you are or where you come from, God desires to make a champion out of you.  Take a step of faith and put your scepter out to the King.  Ask Him for favor and release your gifts and calling to Him.  The King will welcome your presence, hear your request, and grant you your petition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord, make us all champions for You!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-8788780217873089654?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/8788780217873089654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=8788780217873089654&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8788780217873089654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8788780217873089654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/08/women.html' title='Women Champions - 12'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-4018548411964998031</id><published>2009-08-12T09:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-12T09:50:24.184-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 11</title><content type='html'>Once they pass the contest, champions get a crown.  Esther's dream was that she became a queen.  In our case, we might become smarter, wiser, or more discerning.  When the crowns come after the testing, we move into a new level of authority.  Often our anointing increases and our faith reaches for higher goals for the Kingdom of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sacrifice is part of the walk of a champion.  People who desire to make a difference in this world quickly discover their life is not their own.  Opportunities come to make choices that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;either&lt;/span&gt; benefit society or benefit ourselves.  Over the years in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ministry&lt;/span&gt;, many times my husband and I have had to give things up for others to be helped.  More than once we made choices to help others that required the loss of our own desires. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther discovered that championship required her having to surrender position, power, prestige, and future plans for herself.  She had to choose the safety of her people over her own life.  In the process of making such a choice, we discover what life really means to us.  The Bible says that the person who lives to save his life will lose it anyway.  (Matthew 16: 25)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is better to surrender to the Lordship of Christ and let Him guide us in these decisions.  Esther's position of privilege did not exempt her from God's requirements of her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Champions face devils, mountains, obstacles, choices, and even their own heart.  Just how far will you go to affect your world?  Just how far are you willing to surrender?  Some people will not surrender their time, money, information they carry, their heart, or their life.  A &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt; champion will surrender whatever God requires. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you see areas you have surrendered as bringing "championship" into your own life?  I'd love to hear from you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-4018548411964998031?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/4018548411964998031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=4018548411964998031&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4018548411964998031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4018548411964998031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/08/women-champions-11.html' title='Women Champions - 11'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-7486561643558674040</id><published>2009-07-15T09:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T09:31:37.710-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 10</title><content type='html'>Champions are definitely well-developed communicators.  They have learned when to speak and when not to speak.  They have learned that words carry power.  Esther knew that some things should remain quiet and hidden until needed or necessary.  Trusting her uncle's judgment, she did not reveal her heritage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our own lives, in trusting the Holy Spirit, we learn what to say and when to say it.  Mordecai was to Esther like the Holy Spirit is to us.  He was her confidant, advocate, and friend.  Esther could trust him to lead her in the right direction and to give her wise counsel.  Women champions learn to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit as He teaches them to communicate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther never asked for anything more than what the King's eunuch suggested.  She was wise to yield to someone who knew the King well.  Learning to walk like a champion requires each of us to listen to those who have served our King, our Lord Jesus, longer than us.  They have learned His likes and dislikes.  They know what clothing to wear, what manners to demonstrate, what ethics to follow, and what heartfelt participation to give.  Esther knew the eunuch wanted her to do well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many wonderful people in the Body of Christ who can encourage us, teach us, and help us develop as champions as well.  We just need to ask questions and listen to the answers.  We must learn the "ministry talk" as Esther learned the "palace talk".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years of preparation for ministry, I have had many moments of success and many others not so successful.  In each situation, I had a choice to make:  either I allow the situation to mature me in the Lord, or I allow the devil to destroy me with depression or pride.  Please remember, Satan never plays fair.  When God is developing us into His champions of faith and courage, we must learn to roll with the punches and press through the barriers.  Esther had her challenges to face, but her attitude would decide whether she would win or fail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you could share with me one of your experiences where you had a choice to mature or be destroyed, and tell us the outcome of that choice.

Esther sat for six months over a charcoal fire in a pit on the floor!  Fragrant oils like sandalwood, myrrh, cloves, or rose would be put into the cosmetic burner.  With all her clothes off, she crouched over the burner with a robe draped over her head and body to create a tent.  She was in a literal steam room, perspiring and smelling all those fragrances.  She had those fragrances "cooked" into her skin through the hot steam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you noticed this.....that preparation for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;championship&lt;/span&gt; often sends us to the "sweatshop?"

We see favor on Esther's life as she received special treatment, extra blessings, and privileges.  Her whole life may not have been that way, but all of a sudden, things started to happen to her benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As well, champions have to be willing to change.  We can not expect to become a champion, walk like a champion, or even live like one unless we make changes in our lives.  Esther went through changes of location, of internal thinking, of environment, and of dress, clothes, and perfumes.  She also had to change her mental image of herself from an orphan to a queen.

Kathy Sprague of Lady Lake, Florida</title><content type='html'>I am Rev. Kathryn Sprague. I joined WIMN after 17 years of international missions trips and graduating from Bible College in 2000.  For the past year I have been on staff at St. George Episcopal Church in The Villages, Florida,  functioning as the Director of Pastoral Care for a congregation of 800 elderly (age 75+) retirees.  : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I come to WIMN, asking members to consider making a pledge to pray for America every day for the rest of 2009. Together, let’s see what God will do on behalf of this nation. I know that all of us TRULY LOVE America, but we must come together in the spirit realm and PRAY for God's hand to move, not only on our behalf, but also on the behalf of our children and their futures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II Chronicles tells of the reign of Solomon, the building of the Temple, kings, wars, and civil strife.  But as we look at chapter seven, we find a moment when God answers Solomon’s prayer and fire comes down and consumes the burnt sacrifice. The glory of the Lord fills the Temple and the priests of the Lord can not enter the house of God  because the glory had filled it to full measure (vs. 1-2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We observe that all the children of Israel saw the fire come down and the Glory fill the Temple. The Scripture says that they bowed themselves low with their faces upon the pavement and worshiped.  From this experience of God's Glory, Solomon and all the people began giving finances, sacrificing burnt offerings, and praising the Lord for a festival of dedication for 23 days.   In the unfolding of  II Chronicles 7:14, God’s response to a leader who built and dedicated his work to God was that fresh revelation begins  to unfold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God appears to Solomon alone at night and teaches him the “IF” lesson. Verse 14 becomes a revelatory Scripture, releasing enlightenment concerning the answers and provision for which we are all searching.   "IF My people, which are called by My Name, will HUMBLE themselves and PRAY, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways;   then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."  Each phrase of this Scripture is significant.  I would like to share one phrase that changed my spiritual life forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over two years ago, my husband Randall and I ministered on a regular basis in Council Bluffs, IA at Victory Fellowship Church.   Senior Pastor Lonnie Parton felt led by the Spirit to conduct a program called "The Divine Experiment.”  We were instructed to “FAST” all normal entertainment such as TV, movies, video games, etc.  Our time outside of prayer/work hours was to be actions that would bring family members together.   Families were to spend time together doing loving actions such as picnics, board games, talking together, singing…anything that was a face to face interaction between all family members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, the KEY FOCUS for each person in our church was the II Chronicles 7:14 prayers.   As a Church body, we watched God start to do extraordinary things! Family relationships were healed, prodigal children returned home, and a man who walked with two canes was healed. I was fortunate to be the scribe that penned all the miracles the Lord performed in that three week period of “separation before God.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I began to meditate the first sentence of that Scripture day after day…"If MY PEOPLE who are called by MY NAME will humble themselves and pray”…the Lord began ministering to me in a deep way.  He revealed to my spirit that the current level of humility at which I was praying could only bring a low level of prayer effectiveness. God is such a loving Father!  When He chastens or gives you correction, He does not leave you sad, but is willing to immediately give you the answer to your dilemma.  He was showing me that it was not  the “form” of prayer that was affecting the Heavenlies, but it was a core attitude level &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;within&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt; that would affect my prayer’s yield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF I WOULD JUST BOW MYSELF LOWER (body, soul, and spirit) and then pray out of that lowliness, God would hear and answer. What an illumination!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that each one of us have within us dregs of religious pride, unforgiveness, ego, hormonal aggression, etc.?  For 21 days I forcefully meditated that first phrase of II Chronicles 7:14, repenting day and night of anything and everything the Lord brought to mind that would keep me from the lower position.  I would hear Him say, “NO, KATHY…go lower.”  It became a passion to see how low I could go. I knew there would be gold at the end of the trail!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experiencing this Scriptural illumination, I did two things that were seemingly effective:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  I gave God my "time" for three weeks.  I seriously sought the Holy Spirit’s help every day for at least an hour, asking Him to help me humble myself to the level that HE could effectively move upon my prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  At the end of the third week of fasting and praying this first phrase of II Chronicles 7:14, I was roused out of my sleep early one morning.  I felt a shaft of Light move through my being, unlike anything I've experienced before. I sensed a crystal sword enter my spirit, soul, and body, moving and undulating to its holy presence .  The presence of the Light was so clean and so pure that my being vibrated with its glorious attributes.  I could only imagine that praying out of this atmosphere would change my life and those around me.  I oozed life, overwhelmed in the loving presence of God.  I loved everyone and prayer was like a river of gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that wonderful experience, I truthfully learned the lesson of HUMILITY.  The Holy Spirit revealed the "Light of Christ" when I humbled myself and prayed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I am asking you to set your heart upon praying II Chronicles 7:14 as you have never done before. True revelation will ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, bring demonstration. Go get yours!   And please, e-mail this WIMN Blog when He moves on your behalf to share with all our WIMN members the goodness of our God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you need God to do in your family, your church, and your nation today?

I do not know, but I love Esther and everything she represents.  Whether we see her as a symbol of the Body of Christ or of ourselves personally, does not matter.  Either way, she represents a champion of righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther's story begins around 438 B.C.  The King and his Queen Vashti had been partying for six months!  The party lasted so long in order that everyone in the kingdom could attend.  The culminating banquet was seven days long, ending with Queen Vashti making an entrance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some reason, when she was summoned by the King, she refused to come.  Some scholars say she was pregnant, some say she had her own party going.  Others think she was not in the mood to be paraded around in front of drunk men.  No matter what her reason, Queen Vashti said no, and the King ended up dismissing her as Queen.  This led to a search for a replacement, and through that process, Esther became the choice of the King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do we find the champion in this story?  What do we see about a champion in the making?  First of all, champions get into the race or enter the contest.  There is no champion made unless a battle is won, unless a competition takes place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther joined the fight for a queen.  Even with all the odds against her, Esther entered the contest.  She was an orphan, a foreigner, a very young girl, and completely inexperienced.  Yet, she did not allow those barriers to hinder her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about you?  What examples do you have from your life where you chose to "enter the contest" or "get into the race?"  I'd love to hear how your willingness to join a battle ended in your winning a championship crown!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-3972260139177397653?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/3972260139177397653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=3972260139177397653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3972260139177397653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3972260139177397653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/06/women-champions-7.html' title='Women Champions - 7'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-677647797083746634</id><published>2009-06-04T08:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T08:12:04.763-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 6</title><content type='html'>Hannah was another woman champion of persistence, perseverance, passion, and prayer.

Married to a foolish man with a total lack of common sense, she overcomes the enemy of death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David, the future king of Israel, in the process of running from Saul, finds himself and his men in need of food.  He sends his messengers to Abigail's husband, Nabal, for help.  Nabal responds in a crude, disrespectful way and refuses to help David and his men.  The young men return to David and tell him Nabal will not help.  Angry and upset, David calls on four hundred men to go to war with Nabal to destroy his sheep and land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abigail hears about the problem and immediately takes action.  Champions know when something must be done!  She hurries and gathers two hundred loaves of bread, two jugs of wine, five sheep already prepared, five measures of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, twenty cakes of figs, and loads it all on donkeys.  She then sends the men and the goods ahead of her and she follows on her donkey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she meets David, she humbles herself and begs for mercy with a heart of humility and wisdom.  Thankfully, David listens to her and bloodshed is avoided.  Abigail took a risk putting her own life on the line, but in turn she saved her family and herself by doing so.  She was a woman champion in the midst of a difficult situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have met many women like Abigail who have had to divinely intervene when husbands were making foolish choices.  Some women have had to take the checkbook and become the one who paid the bills because the husband gambled their money away.  Other women have had to dress the children for church and get them to services on their own because the husband like to stay in bed.  There are women I know who sent to work to pay bills because the husband sat home on disability and was content to watch television all day.  Abigail was married to a drunk, and she knew she had to intervene when his drunken behavior was costing others their lives!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure you know women who are champions like I've mentioned here -- women who step up to the challenges of life and bring success into the most difficult situations.

Opposition is a contrary view, an opposing idea or thought.  Opposition surfaces when the champion is making headway or taking territory.  The Word says in Matthew 5: 11-12, "Blessed are you when men cast insults at you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely on account of Me.  Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible also reminds us in Matthew 6: 1, "You are the salt of the earth."  You women of God out there are the champions of flavor and truth!  So what if a little persecution comes our way?  We are just salting the earth and bring in the light of Christ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today why don't you click on the comment button at the end of this post and share with all of us an experience in which a situation of opposition in your life brought forth the "saltiness" within and revealed the light of Christ to others!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-932182659240153743?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/932182659240153743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=932182659240153743&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/932182659240153743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/932182659240153743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/05/women-champions-4.html' title='Women Champions - 4'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-8710234945788934259</id><published>2009-05-20T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-20T09:37:13.995-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 3</title><content type='html'>What does the story of Joseph show us about being a champion?  Well first, we see that this champion had an inner knowing that God had a purpose for him.  Secondly, his very nature was one of a winner, as it brought him favor everywhere he went.  God, Who knows all things, was guiding and leading each situation, but Joseph was also doing his part by walking in integrity and honor.  He was not lazy but rather diligent, faithful, and consistent.  In the end, Joseph's godly virtues led him to success and to saving a nation from famine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Champions have many common characteristics.  They know how to love their enemies and overcome hurt.  Seeing the world through God's love, champions make excellent decisions, perceive things positively, and make good choices. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Champions sometimes find themselves having to make difficult decisions.  I am sure Joseph thought about the possible consequences of his "no" to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Potiphar's&lt;/span&gt; wife, but he also realized a man without virtue is no man at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of us is, or has been, in a place of making tough calls.  Sometimes our choices can cause pain to someone else, but the decision must be based on the honorable thing before God.  Decisions can create division, and yet champions are called on by God to make those choices.  The Pharisees did not like Jesus because of the choices He made.  No champion is developed or fashioned without having to make the tough calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about you?  What tough calls have you made where you know those decisions developed your championship character?  Please feel free to share with us how God helped groom the champion in you through making tough choices.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-8710234945788934259?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/8710234945788934259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=8710234945788934259&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8710234945788934259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8710234945788934259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/05/women-champions-3.html' title='Women Champions - 3'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-870299819213416954</id><published>2009-05-19T11:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T11:43:14.512-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 2</title><content type='html'>One of my favorite champions is Joseph.  Here is a young man, his father's favorite, who has a dream in which he sees his family paying homage to him.  By telling his family the dream, it stirs up jealousy, hatred, and murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His brothers plot to destroy him and end up throwing him into a pit to die.  Eventually he is found and sold to Midianite traders into slavery and taken to a foreign land to serve an Egyptian officer named Potiphar.  Joseph became a personal assistant and overseer to everything Potiphar owned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There in Egypt Joseph's championship nature starts to bring him favor.  He is successful at everything given to him to do.  In fact, the Scriptures say Potiphar left everything he owned in Joseph's charge and with Joseph there, Potiphar did not concern himself with anything except the food that he ate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joseph had become to Potiphar a champion overseer.  But Potiphar's wife decided SHE wanted Joseph's assistance as well, only NOT in a godly way!  She tempted Joseph, trying to seduce him and get him to betray his master.  Champions in the making often face choices that reveal their character.  However, Joseph was not going to lose his integrity for a moment of sexual pleasure.  I wonder how many lose their potential blessing because they fail when they are similarly challenged?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be a champion requires champion thinking, and Joseph knew his integrity was at stake.  He chose integrity and ended up in prison.  Sometimes when I think about the people in our prisons today, I wonder if there are many Josephs behind those bars -- champions who choose integrity and therefore loss for a season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Champions never stay down, though, and even in prison, Joseph rose to leadership, becoming a helper to the chief jailer.  Eventually Joseph interpreted dreams for two men.  Those dream interpretations led Joseph to the Pharoah and finally into a championship role as second in command.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What "pits" have you found yourself in that later proved to be just stepping stones because of the championship character you exhibited in those situations?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-870299819213416954?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/870299819213416954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=870299819213416954&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/870299819213416954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/870299819213416954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/05/women-champions-2.html' title='Women Champions - 2'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-4226667138093040040</id><published>2009-05-14T11:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T12:15:50.191-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Women Champions - 1</title><content type='html'>Everyone loves a champion.  We have champions in history, sports, civil rights, and more.  Champions are defined as people who have won a race, been victorious through an obstacle, conquered in battle, or overcome a hurdle.  Champions are looked up to, emulated, and talked about -- some for centuries, others just momentarily. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years ago my father-in-law went home to be with the Lord.  He was 84 years old, and to all our family members, he was a bona fide champion.  He spent a lifetime helping people in all sorts of capacities.  His funeral was attended by all ages, from young children to senior citizens, each with a story to tell of how this man had touched their lives.  He had shoveled walks for the elderly never taking a dollar for his services, brought food to the hungry, and provided jobs for the unemployed.  This champion had invested his life in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most certainly we can find champions in the Scriptures.  Their stories were included in God's Word to encourage us and serve as role models for developing our own spiritual lives.  Joshua, called to march into the Promised Land, was told to be strong and courageous.  He couldn't be a champion if he feared the giants in the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moses withstood the pressures of a king, a culture, and a rebellious people that we might see him bring deliverance to a people in bondage.    Gideon felt he was the least in Manasseh and the youngest in his father's house.  Yet God called him to be a champion.  This champion asked for favor and signs to prove God was talking to him (Judges 6).  He did not feel like a champion, but he was called to be one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What other Bible characters can you think of who demonstrate championship in their lives?  I'd love to hear how their exploits have helped you press on!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-4226667138093040040?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/4226667138093040040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=4226667138093040040&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4226667138093040040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4226667138093040040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/05/women-champions-1.html' title='Women Champions - 1'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-6427977562406732636</id><published>2009-05-04T09:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T11:14:08.741-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Devotion by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Dreamers</title><content type='html'>Are you dreaming the impossible dream? When we look at all the dreamers in the Bible, we begin to see a pattern of men and women who had special desires placed in their hearts by God. Sometimes God would have to give them an extra nudge or two, but they were able to press through eventually and fulfill their dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wise men had a dream of following a star to a king. They finally found Him and were able to fulfill their purpose for the King. They brought Him gifts to use in His journey to Egypt and they honored Him. They were gifts fit for a king.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we follow our goals are we prepared to bring our gifts to the King? The wise men could have ignored that star. They could have betrayed Jesus and told Herod where He was, but they listened to that inner voice and followed it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit talking to you today.

In Genesis 28:10 -17 we read about Jacob's dream. He sees a ladder with angels ascending and descending. Jacob has left home and is alone in a field when God visits him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you and I evaluated this, we would probably say he didn't deserve an encounter with God.  But evidently there was more to Jacob than what we can see. God had a plan for his life and Jacob needed to know the true God, the One his parents and grandparents knew.  He could no longer say he didn't know Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this encounter began to work adjustments in Jacob's heart. He eventually ended up wrestling with God until his whole nature surrendered to the Lord.  Dreams have a way of working inside us to change us.  Have you had a dream that has been working in you?

Almost everyone we read about in Scripture had a dream.  Joseph had a dream, Jesus had a dream, and the apostles had dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also read in Genesis 11 where the people had a dream to build a tower into heaven. To them it was a fantastic dream, but to God it wasn't. We realize from this story about the tower of Babel that the people had the ability to dream a big dream. They didn't lack in the size of their dream nor in the influence they had as a result of their dream. They had all the people involved in their dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly the word for &lt;em&gt;tower&lt;/em&gt; is also a word for pride.  Just maybe it was their pride that led to their problem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to our dreams, it is most important to ask God first.....is this His dream or ours?  When the dream is birthed in pride, confusion can follow.  It is of utmost importance to dream &lt;strong&gt;His &lt;/strong&gt;dreams and follow &lt;strong&gt;His&lt;/strong&gt; ways.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-4334040657083114486?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/4334040657083114486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=4334040657083114486&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4334040657083114486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4334040657083114486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/05/devotion-for-may-1.html' title='Keep Dreaming!'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-1461712365110222395</id><published>2009-04-30T12:17:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T13:59:23.696-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Devotion by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Dreaming the Impossible Dream</title><content type='html'>I remember the song "Dream The Impossbile Dream" when I was growing up. It was inspiring and motivating even as a child.  Little did I know that one day God would put dreams in my heart that would feel impossible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of you have thought of dreaming the impossible? When my daughter got married in Uganda she was at the "introduction" meeting with all her new Ugandan relatives when a song came on the radio saying, "God will make a way when there seems to be no way." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here she was in a foreign land marrying an African man she met the year before.  When looking at all the obstacles they had to face, they both wondered if there was any way to survive and thrive in this third world country. Yet  here was God making a way where there seemed to be no way.  They even have gone on to make dreams come true for street children in that part of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many Bible characters wondered if they could make it, yet God said, "Dream the impossible dream.  I will make a way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is our word from the Lord today.  Dream the Impossible dream.  He will make a way where there seems to be no way!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-1461712365110222395?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/1461712365110222395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=1461712365110222395&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1461712365110222395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1461712365110222395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/04/devotion-on-dreaming-impossible-dream.html' title='Dreaming the Impossible Dream'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-3653769214171724066</id><published>2009-04-30T09:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T09:36:39.905-07:00</updated><title type='text'>One Possible Flaw in Women?</title><content type='html'>Women have strengths that amaze men. &lt;br /&gt;They bear hardships and they carry burdens, &lt;br /&gt;but they hold happiness, love and joy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They smile when they want to scream. &lt;br /&gt;They sing when they want to cry. &lt;br /&gt;They cry when they are happy&lt;br /&gt;and laugh when they are nervous. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They fight for what they believe in.&lt;br /&gt;They stand up to injustice. &lt;br /&gt;They don't take "no" for an answer &lt;br /&gt;when they believe there is a better solution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They go without so their family can have. &lt;br /&gt;They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.&lt;br /&gt;They love unconditionally. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They cry when their children excel &lt;br /&gt;and cheer when their friends get awards. &lt;br /&gt;They are happy when they hear about  a birth or a wedding. &lt;br /&gt;Their hearts break when a friend dies. &lt;br /&gt;They grieve at the loss of a family member, &lt;br /&gt;yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. &lt;br /&gt;They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. &lt;br /&gt;They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. &lt;br /&gt;They bring joy, hope and love. &lt;br /&gt;They have compassion and ideas. &lt;br /&gt;They give moral support to their family and friends. &lt;br /&gt;Women have vital things to say and everything to give. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, &lt;br /&gt;IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. &lt;br /&gt;Please take time to let all your women friends and relatives&lt;br /&gt;know just how amazing they are!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-3653769214171724066?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/3653769214171724066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=3653769214171724066&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3653769214171724066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3653769214171724066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2009/04/one-possible-flaw-in-women.html' title='One Possible Flaw in Women?'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-6668970353726688636</id><published>2009-04-08T13:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T13:57:07.967-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Devotion by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>Memories</title><content type='html'>Monday we were praying for our up and coming conference on Passion. All of a sudden out of no where I really had a moment of sorrow as my mind went to a long lost friend who died a few years ago. She and I in times past had so much fun getting the themes for the conferences by prayer and seeking God on who to speak and how to make the conference flow well, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the women prayed at the prayer meeting I was at, I found myself remembering my friend's voice, her mannerisms, her prophetic abilities, and I felt alone, sorrowful, and just a lot of grief. Funny how she died over four years ago and Monday night my mind and heart wanted to cry as I was really missing her.  Grief is like that. It can show up when we least expect it.  No one else knew my pain at that moment but God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night I just had a little visit with the Lord, telling Him how I miss my good friend and our times of loving on Him, sharing insights, and talking about the Holy Spirit. I felt the Lord knew my sadness and could identify with that feeling of loss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as I was deep in my thoughts the leader of prayer meeting called me over to pray for me. Little did she know how deep my grief was at that very moment.  The prayer lifted my spirits, encouraged my soul, and pulled me out of that sinking moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if any of you have had a moment like this where you really felt grief come up when you least expected it or just an overwhelming feeling of loss triggered by an event?  How did you get through the moment or the circumstance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how Jesus felt when He went to the cross all alone after three years of fellowship with His friends?  He must have had a few moments of grief and sadness remembering the good times they had together. I wonder what the disciples went through once Jesus was gone and what grief they must have felt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Easter season is a good time to remember our friends and encourage those alone.  Hopefully you are in good spirits today and not feeling alone. Be assured someone is lifting you up in prayer right now. I am.  Please hit the "comment" button at the end of this post and tell me how you got through your personal times of "unexpected grief."

Here's what I see:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;men awakening to the gifts of women and encouraging their development to advance the Lord's work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a new vocabulary emerging in the church to incorporate women into ministry.  There will be a shunning of old terminology that identifies women as harlots, deceptive and lesser.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;many female-led ministries developing in foreign countries and operating with tremendous favor, authority and power.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;more female pastors successfully leading churches and being welcomed into both their communities and denominations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;women apostles developing networks of female ministers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;male pastors encouraging their spouses alongside them in team ministry.  Remember when God called Abraham in Genesis 17 to father the nations?  In that very same chapter He also called Sarah to mother the nations.  God said that out of&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; them&lt;/span&gt; the leaders would come -- out of the cooperation of the two.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I also see a strong evil force coming against all of these advancements.  But even though the enemy will try to prevent the further release of women for the Lord's work, the plan of God will not be stopped.  God is in the business of setting captives free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the female, her set time has come.  This is a new day and a time of new beginnings for women in ministry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-2055689361294909576?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/2055689361294909576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=2055689361294909576&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/2055689361294909576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/2055689361294909576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_11.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-7284202407966560998</id><published>2008-04-10T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-10T08:53:04.137-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 8: The fear of rejection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often I have been passed by at a fellowship table and have not been recognized as a minister.  I have attended pastors' meetings with my women associates, and no one would talk to us or even recognize our presence.  If I took my husband or a male associate, then other male pastors might engage in conversation with me since I was with a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found the secular world does a much better job relating and communicating between the sexes than the church world does.  We talk love, but we just do not know how to exercise it well with co-laborers of the opposite sex in God's kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I look back over my years of ministry, many things have happened to challenge my character, calling and heart before God.  Each obstacle has helped me mature as a woman minister.  In the process God has taken my basic feminine lamb-like nature and equipped me to also be a lion.  I have discovered that operating in both mercy and might requires the furnace of affliction, His power to overcome, His Word to reveal truth and His love to forgive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God's will fulfilled in my life is more important to me than being ignored, ridiculed or used as a token.  I have found peace with my Lord and Maker and do not need to defend myself, prove myself or do anything other than obey my Father's will.  God fights for me.  I believe there is greater merit in forgetting those things which are behind and pressing forward toward the mark of a higher calling, rising above all obstacles to accomplish the full purpose of God in my life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-7284202407966560998?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/7284202407966560998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=7284202407966560998&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/7284202407966560998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/7284202407966560998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_10.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-174675092965120802</id><published>2008-04-09T12:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-09T12:54:41.951-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 7:  The big accusation word:  control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of us wants to be labeled as controlling or as a Jezebel.  In the secular world, control is simply the leadership required to run a company, manage a household or keep things in order.  But when applied to the work of God's kingdom, the devil makes accusations of control.  He tempts people to distrust leaders, especially when that leader is female.  This hinders the development of God's work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did I overcome this accusation?  I evaluated my actions, studied scriptural truth, sought godly input and settled in my heart that I was not controlling.  As long as we follow the Lord diligently, stay teachable, repent of ungodly ways and listen to His voice, we will remain pure in our motives.  Revelation of who we are in Him conquers every intimidating force.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-174675092965120802?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/174675092965120802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=174675092965120802&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/174675092965120802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/174675092965120802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-3255701349125010761</id><published>2008-03-28T08:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-28T08:45:21.498-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 6:  The challenge of my call to be a senior pastor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we started the church in 1990, we announced I would be the senior pastor and my husband would assist me.  Some leaders talked behind my back and said it would never work.  Others laughed and thought I was crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly, I found some of the most vocal objectors to women being pastors are women.  Just recently a lady approached me at a conference I was attending and asked forgiveness for judging me.  Her opinion was that women could not pastor because they were too emotional.  While sitting in a workshop taught by J. Lee Grady, editor of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Charisma&lt;/span&gt; magazine and author of the book &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;10 Lies the Church Tells Women&lt;/span&gt; (Charisma House), God told her she was in error and must ask for forgiveness. I was shocked she felt that way, as she had never shown any negative behavior toward me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several months after I embarked in this senior pastor adventure, a man came in my office to say he loved the church, but he could not sit under a woman pastor.  I asked him what he feared, and he became very unsettled.  I felt the problem was not me as the female, but rather his acceptance of his being a man.  Could I rob his manhood by being a woman in leadership over him?  This was my question to him.  Ultimately he decided to stay, and today that man is one of my main church leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few church members made comments about the need for a man to fill the pulpit.  I heard things such as, "Bill has such a pastor's heart."  I wondered what kind of heart they thought I had!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was continual pressure to give up my position.  Words have power over us, and eventually I began to entertain the suggestions.  I just wanted to do God's best.  I had started the church, but I began thinking maybe someone else should continue it.  I actually began to believe a man could do this better and quietly implemented a search for a replacement, little by little convincing myself God wanted a man leading our congregation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this time of deluded thinking, an evangelist came to our church to minister.  At one service the power of God was strong and people began to prostrate themselves on the floor.  Feeling the leading of the Holy Spirit, I laid down directly behind our pulpit and immediately God spoke to me:  "You have not treasured the pulpit I have given you.  Who are you to give it to someone else?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instantly I realized gender was not an issue with God.  Never again would I take lightly the divine purpose He had for my life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-3255701349125010761?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/3255701349125010761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=3255701349125010761&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3255701349125010761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/3255701349125010761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_28.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-4677188593594662182</id><published>2008-03-27T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-27T11:05:08.185-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 5:  The challenge of a unique lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lifestyle God had specifically called me to was the fifth hurdle I had to conquer.  The Lord had called me to full-time ministry, but not my husband.  Bill was a businessman who loved his secular job, and I loved the kingdom's work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two of us did not struggle with this, but we heard and felt the opinions of others.  Some said if God calls the wife, He would certainly call the husband alongside.  Others warned having different callings would divide our marriage. We were told God's order was for Bill to be the head of the ministry, and I was out of order in leading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one questions a male pastor whose wife works in the secular world.  But people constantly come against a female pastor whose husband works in the business arena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent the early years in our marriage supporting Bill's occupational changes and moves.  I never complained and always yielded what I was doing to follow and assist him.  However, when I turned forty years old, God clearly spoke to me to start a church -- through a vision of handwriting on a wall while I was in a Mexican restaurant.  At the same time God spoke to my husband, who was in another state on business, telling him to "help Sharon start a church."  God showed Bill a "movie" of our past with me encouraging him year after year.  Now it was his turn to help me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were both surprised at God's command, but who were we to tell Him no?  We knew this format was not the norm, but we had God's grace for our particular lifestyle assignments.  At that time I found comfort in the book of Judges, where I read about Deborah, who became a leader with her husband in a supporting role.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-4677188593594662182?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/4677188593594662182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=4677188593594662182&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4677188593594662182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/4677188593594662182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_27.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-6863379253143545043</id><published>2008-03-26T07:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-26T07:55:49.157-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 4:  The church's system of titles and positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point I found myself in a supportive position of pastoring under male leadership.  This man was kind and very good to me in many ways.  However, he said he could not call me "assistant pastor" due to my gender.  Instead he would call me a "pastoral assistant."  I did not understand the difference, but he felt the distinction was necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years later I was still in the same conflict.  Someone wanted to appoint me to a specific office of leadership but was struggling with my title.  A decision was made to set me in the position with another man and call us "co-directors."  We were the only co-directors in our fellowship in the nation, but evidently the leadership felt safer about this arrangement since I was a female.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leaders in both these situations had no problem with my ministry calling, but both told me other people did.  Supposedly these semantics games were the best ways to deal with church politics.  Interestingly, when my co-director resigned his position, the leadership kept me as the only female director in the fellowship.  God has a way of working things out on our behalf if we will trust Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, as I started attending pastors' conferences, I discovered the terminology used was "pastor and wife."  While the women were sent to fashion shows and luncheons, the men were trained, equipped and feeding on the meat of the Word.  I am not against fashion shows, but I went to those conferences to learn, grow and mature as a minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I needed help, someone to encourage my gifting and give correction if needed.  I tried one conference after another looking for ministry support.  Finally I realized the help was not out there for women ministers, so I developed Women's International Minister's Network (WIMN), a vehicle to train women for ministry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-6863379253143545043?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/6863379253143545043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=6863379253143545043&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/6863379253143545043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/6863379253143545043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_26.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-2189348761958190421</id><published>2008-03-25T08:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-25T08:17:40.676-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WIMNUK'/><title type='text'>WIMNUK Meeting - Please join us!</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="background: rgb(207, 223, 236) none repeat scroll 0% 50%;

This had never been done in my city, and I had no previous experience from which to draw.&lt;br /&gt;Innocently I phoned local ministry leaders to come to my home to pray on a Friday night.  They came, but one man in the group immediately challenged my right to direct the meeting.  Since God never said I had to be in charge, I was not threatened.  But when he suggested that only the men lead the prayer each night, I was quite disheartened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly I found myself as a spokes-woman for all the females.  Why couldn't we lead?  What was wrong with a woman overseeing the prayer times?  My simple obedience to do what God had asked brought me face to face with the gender issue in ministry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually the prayer times were divided among all present.  Did God honor those prayer meetings?  I don't know, but I did learn that responding to God's call and getting it done are not the same.  I had no idea there would be controversy about a female leading a prayer meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also learned that revival cannot come to a community when leaders have their own agendas.  As God worked on our hearts those days and nights, we prayed that walls would fall.  We did not experience revival then, but we did learn that revival could not come without unity -- men and women alike.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-1249253506752210426?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/1249253506752210426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=1249253506752210426&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1249253506752210426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1249253506752210426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_20.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-872401819069227100</id><published>2008-03-19T12:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-19T12:15:27.741-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 2:  The idea that "women can be easily deceived." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was another obstacle that surfaced as I desired to grow in my calling.  As a female, I had no one to train me in ministry.  Someone warned me to be careful because "women can be easily deceived."  I became concerned that maybe I could get into error.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet day after day people came to my home for ministry, deliverance, healing and teaching.  My prayer life grew, and many times I would pray all day long at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked the Holy Spirit about my lack of a mentor, and He led me to 1 John 2: 20-21, 27:  "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.  I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth...But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him" (NKJV).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow!  The Holy Spirit would be my Teacher and Trainer!  The very next day the Holy Spirit led me to several books on prayer in a Christian bookstore.  Through these books I realized He could equip me for ministry without a man's help.  The Holy Spirit Himself kept me from error as I developed in my call.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-872401819069227100?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/872401819069227100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=872401819069227100&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/872401819069227100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/872401819069227100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_19.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-1414281029771510020</id><published>2008-03-18T08:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-18T08:46:08.892-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>Obstacle # 1:  The issue of submission&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first challenge revolved around the issue of submission.  As a female leader, I was scrutinized extensively regarding my submissive nature.  I had always thought of myself as a submissive person, but when ministry became my goal, submission became an issue I had to grapple with and fully understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As young believers, my husband Bill and I encountered well-meaning Christians who suggested we submit ourselves to their authority.  Many felt Bill needed to keep me under his thumb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was starting prayer meetings, leading people to Christ, preaching and sharing the gospel all the time.  According to them, this was a man's job.  I was not sure what that meant.  Jesus called us to disciple, to "go," but now I needed to ask my husband's permission?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally Bill told them we did not believe God wanted that arrangement.  They had a fit!  Being new to the ways of God, we really had to trust that we were hearing the Lord's voice.  He taught us that submission was an attitude of the heart.  The Lord began to speak to me about submitting to Him and to my husband.  We could mutually trust and work as a unified team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submission WAS in my heart, and I needed to establish that I was a submitted person.  But this did not mean others were free to run my life for me, or that a man must scrutinize all my decisions because he was "free of deception" and I was not.  I spent years coming to the understanding that God sees submission as a willingness to serve Him.  A love of mankind causes one to deny himself or herself for the good of others.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-1414281029771510020?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/1414281029771510020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=1414281029771510020&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1414281029771510020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/1414281029771510020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in_18.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-8784129691986286307</id><published>2008-03-13T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-13T11:19:02.252-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Article by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Introduction -- Everyone who answers God's call to ministry will have obstacles to overcome, regardless of their gender.  However, being a female in ministry does pose unique challenges.  Looking back over my own ministry experiences, I realize there have been numerous hurdles along the way.  Many were character-developing, faith-expanding, destiny-defining and definitely Christ-confirming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I share my challenges, I pray you will hear my heart and nothing else.  I do not blame men, hate men, wish to be a man or desire a man's nature.  I love being a woman!  I enjoy my femininity and the opportunity to work with both men and women.  My only prayer is to see women reach their full potential in God and align with Him in their destiny on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obstacles are barriers or restrictions that we run into along life's path.  Some we just jump over, some we go around, some we knock down, and some take great energy to conquer.  I look forward to sharing with you EIGHT of the obstacles I have faced as a woman minister!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-8784129691986286307?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/8784129691986286307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=8784129691986286307&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8784129691986286307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/8784129691986286307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/overcoming-obstacles-to-women-in.html' title='OVERCOMING the Obstacles to Women in Ministry'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-7237966887210586348</id><published>2008-02-28T13:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-28T13:28:18.778-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Devotion by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>The Judas Test</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 153);font-family:arial;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;"&gt;Ladies, I just read the following devotional found in TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman.

It's hard not to become bitter when a friend or family member wounds us. It takes a lot of Christ-like grace to forgive a traitor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; You have probably faced the Judas Test yourself. Everyday you and I work in a marketplace that is rife with betrayal, deception, duplicity, and treachery. Perhaps you have been betrayed by your boss or a coworker. Or perhaps somebody betrayed a confidence or stabbed you in the back. It may have even been someone you've gone to church with or prayed with - someone you trusted as a brother or sister in Christ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The Judas kiss stings worse than a slap across the face. Almost every leader I know has experienced that sting at one time or another. Yet God is watching to see how we respond to the Judas Test. If we pass the test, He can then take us to the next level, the next test. If we fail, we'll probably have to repeat the test until we learn to forgive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The Judas Test is God's graduate level course in faith, designed to reveal the truth about ourselves: Are we willing to trust Him enough to forgive the Judases in our lives? The book of Hebrews warns, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many" (Psalm 12:15). When we refuse to forgive we risk infecting others with a "bitter root" of resentment.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5911480496934471613-7237966887210586348?l=wimntoday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/feeds/7237966887210586348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5911480496934471613&amp;postID=7237966887210586348&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/7237966887210586348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5911480496934471613/posts/default/7237966887210586348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wimntoday.blogspot.com/2008/02/judas-test.html' title='The Judas Test'/><author><name>wimn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911480496934471613.post-8439823502187077944</id><published>2008-02-20T08:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-28T13:25:24.956-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Devotion by Apostle Sharon Predovich'/><title type='text'>HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED?</title><content type='html'>I Peter 2: 23 says, "When they hurled insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats.  Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him Who judges justly."  I don't know about you, but I have heard from many ministers lately who have been wrongfully accused.  Everything in them wants to defend their reputation, trying to do something to justify their attitude or actions.  None of them wants others to hear or believe the wrongful accusations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine what it was like for Jesus, who was continually slandered, accused of wrong doing and blasphemy?  All the religious leaders throught they knew what Jesus should or shouldn't do.  Jesus could have put them in their place, called fire down from heaven, or destroyed them in some way.  He could have retaliated, repeated their faults, or responded in a negative way.  But, the Bible says, "He entrusted Himself to Him Who judges justly."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is God's Word to us today.  Let's release all the hurtful accusations and entrust ourselves to Him!  Let's place our total faith in the One Who can redeem us and clear our names.  When wrongfully accused, let's ask God to give us grace to respond by staying aligned in Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord, we put our reputation in Your trust and care.  We choose to experience Your Presence and anointing in greater measure than ever before.

Apostle Sharon Predovich and Rev. Nola Beintema spent two weeks in the Far East doing several meetings tailored just for women and women leaders. Thailand is just in the infancy stage of developing women ministers, as the spiritual climate there is still very hard. On the other hand, the Philippines' spiritual atmosphere was very open to ministry to women. During an all-day seminar for women leaders, the anointing of the Lord was extremely strong. At one point the Lord sovereignly manifested Himself as the God of Favor. The ladies were beside themselves in the glory of the Lord!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Philippines' WIMN national leader Apostle Jane Ramboyong is doing a fabulous job networking women leaders in her nation, and especially in her region.
