For many days now I have sensed a great calling for women to arise to their sovereignty!

What does it look like to be a sovereign women?

A sovereign woman has a strong sense of self, emotional well-being, and is not dependent on relationships to be sovereign. (She is complete because of what she has within her)

A sovereign women is self-reliant, self-sufficient, and capable of making her own decisions and choices without being overly influenced by external factors or pressures.

A sovereign woman is in a state of self-confidence, self-sufficiency, and personal contentment. Because she has within her the great “I AM” she has a sense of fulfillment and completeness within her already.

She knows who she is and what she carrie’s renders her unstoppable! What she beholds adds to a man’s life rather than takes away from it through the NEED of his strength.

There is a calling right now for women to remember who they are and what God has placed within them. “Wo” in “woman” reminds me of a “Warrant Officer,” which is a military rank in some armed forces.

Women are being called to rise above the confines of societal notions and break free from social norms for they possess the power to redefine who society says they are and walk in the confident knowing of who God has already created them to be.

Society has said, “women are the weaker link.” but God says, “women are made in My image!”

In Genesis 1:27 it says “God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

This verse emphasizes that both men and women are created in the image of God, indicating equality in their divine worth.

In Galatians 3:28 it says “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

This verse underscores the idea of spiritual equality among all believers, regardless of gender or social status.

Deborah is a prominent figure in the Old Testament who served as a judge and prophetess in Israel, demonstrating leadership qualities. She was a strong force to be reckoned with. She served as a judge and prophetess in Israel during a period when leadership roles were typically held by men.

Deborah’s story is an example of a woman who defied societal expectations and played a significant role in governance and military leadership, demonstrating that women could indeed achieve positions of power and reformation.

Another woman who chose to breakout of the boxes of social norm was Bobbi Gibb. Her bravery changed ungodly laws, and gave women the courage to run in their sovereignty!

When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.”

Then on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt.

As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.”

It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt.

As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried.

By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming.

The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top three.

My question for all the women reading this is, “Do you believe you can do anything? Do you believe you already have everything inside of you to do all things and run out your dreams?”

Well, I know you have what it takes! You are already sovereign, lacking nothing to accomplish your purpose in the world.

Will you be the first women in your family line to break open something new for your generations?

Will you be the forerunner that paved the way for greater freedom and advancement for women?

Will you be the next influencer or reformer that encourages women to take their positions and be the unprecedented voice this world so needs to hear?

Will you be the image of hope because you chose to do it afraid?

I know you can do it!
