This past Tuesday Night Our dearest Friend, and everyone's beloved grandma, shared a beautiful Story about the woman who was caught in Adultery found in John 8:1-11. It’s a story about a woman who caught red handed having an affair and the Pharisees decided to use her to test Jesus' Knowledge about the Law of Mosses. They told Jesus everything they saw and they suggested that the woman be stoned to death.
The woman was absolutely hopeless, and the entire time the Pharisees were screaming for her death, Jesus kept silent.
As we read the story, Jesus says if anyone among those accusing the woman has no sin, they should be the first one to cast the first stone. No one dared to throw anything at her because those who were accusing her, also knew that they had some serious stuff too they had going on and they too needed to have somebody throw something at them for.
As I reflected on the story, I kept thinking that no one actually even asked what was the woman's name or even her background. No one even knew where she had come from and even why or how she was having an affair.(we know the How part haha)
But Jesus knew her, not for her sin but for who she really was. As we read along Jesus is so gentle with her and He specifically tells her that he does not accuse her and even forgives her of her sin.
As Jesus was talking to her, He even straightened as way of showing this woman that in spite of her sin; she is someone worth respecting, worth paying attention to, worth receiving forgiveness from her savior. I just feel that Jesus did not care about defending Himself publicly, He knew the Law of Mosses that the woman and the man were to be both stoned. He didn't get all religious and started quoting the Law; instead He reacted with compassion by not even identifying the sins of those ready to stone her. (Even though He knew them all). But He instead responded with compassion.
I just feel when our Father in heaven looks through us, as much He is capable of seeing our crap, our ugliness, He chooses to see us, love us and forgive us for who we are and are meant to be, and that is Women Worth everything, women worth of receiving His forgiveness, not because of what we can do or have done because of his love and grace through the cross.
So when people accuse you, or you're experiencing days when your past is accusing you and bringing you down,(just tell those accusing voices to just SHUT UP in Jesus name) and also MOST importantly, remember that with Jesus its all in the past and He is restoring your future!!!.
You're loved
WOW.

God's Faithfulness in A Barren Land
Hey what Up ladies!!!
You know since we're only 1 month away from the end of 2010, it is probable that in the next months most of us will be reflecting on this past year and how fast it has gone by. During this time of the year we mostly reflect on the great, beautiful horrible, amazing things that God has walked us through during the year.
This morning I was reading Lamentations 3:22-24. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness! I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him!"
My favorite part of the verse is "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed" it’s just amazing to me to think of all the things that could have possibly consumed me (mostly my own doing) but the Lord never allowed it to happen, not because I prayed every nano-second of the day but simply because of His great Love the Lord remains faithful.
The other day I was also listening to a Kim Walker Song called “Faithful”, it also made me think about God's amazing faithfulness especially during the times where I really feel I need to be affirmed and be reminded of His great Love.
I was reading the story of Hannah in 1Samuel 1. To try and make it short, Hannah was a woman who seemed to have everything, really beautiful, talented Her name even meant Beauty, grace & passion and she even had a great loving rich husband:))))) who really loved her. This can definitely make a woman feel like she has everything she needs. However the Bible continues to say that "the Lord had closed her womb" So she was barren and couldn't conceive. To make matters worse, her Husband had another Wife name by the name of Penninah which means treasure or pearl who literally had a womb that was a child production company. She even made fun of Hannah for not being able to have children, which makes a lot of sense if I were Penninah I would expect to get more attention and loving since I’m having all the kids anyway
So eventually Hannah fervently prayed to the Lord, to give her Children and she eventually gives birth to Samuel.
When I was reflecting on the Story of Hannah, I couldn't help think that the Lord eventually opened up her womb at the right time, just right when Hannah made the commitment to dedicate her first child to the Lord.
I feel perhaps that's the reason God had closed up her womb ,was not to punish her as some would assume but to help her conceive her purpose & calling in the Lord which was beyond anything Hannah could dream.
WOW!!! I feel God's love for us is so amazing. when He gives us gifts, He makes sure that he gives us the whole package. Hannah's Son Samuel became a major prophet and even went on to anoint future Kings.
I personally feel God had a dream for Hannah as she continued to pray, through her prayers God prepared her to conceive not only a son, but a master plan & purpose in her life.
So there'll be times when we feel there certain areas in lives that "SEEM" barren, perhaps you've been feeling as if God does not listen to your prayers or He is taking forever. You even have started to compare yourself to your married girlfriends, or women that seem to have it all but you. And you're asking the Lord "Jesus when is my time coming?? I've been working so hard on this project, or I have been patiently waiting for "Mr. Right" I serve you blah, blah blah.
My desire for you is that through your prayers, God's grace will lead you to conceive not only your heart's desires but God's loving master plan for your life.
You're a beautiful Princess and God is so passionate about you and just wants to shower you with all of his grace and faithfulness. Keep trusting in Him "Your Time Is Here".
You’re Loved and you're a woman of great purpose & worth..
WOW

Love in Action
Hey Ladies!!!
We've already started our Tuesday evening fellowship time FROM 7:30PM-9PM. We've decided to move from our small apartment to the 9th Floor of Takashimaya Department Store. So far its been great!!!.
We've started a new series studying Women in the Bible.
Last night our Dear friend Karen Chambers Shared about a Woman of Worth, Love & Action. This woman's name was Tabitha also known as Dorcas, Her amazing story is found in the Book of Acts 9: 36-42
The Bible says that Dorcas was a disciple and made clothes for widows and orphans in her community. She was a great woman of influence who reflected the love of her savior Jesus Christ.
It got me thinking that our walk of intimacy with Jesus should be witnessed by others through our actions of Love. Most of the time we think intimacy as "ME" focused, "ME" spending "MY" Time with the Lord, "ME" Getting More revelation of God's Love for "ME". However as we see Jesus work through us , there should be an outward expression of our intimacy with Him that makes a difference in our Home, community, work, church &country. We need to be careful not to mistaken our intimacy with the Lord as only meaning an intimate life centered on ourselves,however; we should be careful not to work for intimacy with Jesus through deeds.
Our actions of Love for others should be a constant reflection of the intimate relationship we have with Jesus. I sometimes feel that as I live in intimacy with Jesus it’s so easy for me to become the focus instead of him being the focus of my life. A few weeks ago the Lord reminded me that sometimes the distractions we have in our lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus is not the "ENEMY" or outside "Forces"(that’s just giving them too much credit), but that, I'm often my own distraction, its like the Enemy of our souls will do anything to make sure that he uses "ME" to distract "ME" from my intimate life with Jesus and my purpose in Him.
Karen mentioned that, Everything Dorcas made was beautiful and not only did she make garments for the poor, she perhaps even prayed over them, that they would be "Garments of Praise" for those with a Heavy heart. Our Friend Debbie Wong mentioned that Dorcas was resurrected from the dead because she was needed in God's Eyes. She was perhaps a widow herself, but she did not make that the focus and center or her life in Jesus.
Our prayer for you, is that you would be a Women of Worth that sees the needs of others in your family, home, work, community, church & country. That your lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus would be reflected by the difference you make with Love in action.
Upcoming Events!!!

A ThankFul kiss
A few days ago I recalled a childhood memory about my father. I used to love it and I still do, when my father would come home with groceries. Usually it was the essential stuff like bread, sugar blah blah, but I loved it the most that in those plastic bags there would be a tiny treat hidden for us to either share or have it all to myself.
I would of course help out with the groceries and my father would tell us to be careful because there was a special treat in those bags. We would all race into the Kitchen and take all the essential stuff and look for that small treat. When we finally found it we wouldn't open it right away instead, we would either run up to my mother or father and ask them if this is the treat and if it was ok for us to open it and eat it all at once.
I remember the heart felt thank you that I would say to my father and the warm kiss I would give him to show my approval. I would either sit on his lap and devour my treat or go somewhere else to enjoy it.
I feel the Lord used this childhood memory to remind me to be thankful, it’s like God is always faithful to make sure that He always provides the essential groceries of our intimate walk with him, because that's what we need and then there are those special treats that he wants to give to you, not because you can't live without them but because God not only Loves you He adores you.
Growing up my parents had a very tight budget(with six kids and all the other fostered kids) so when my father would come home with a treat I would feel wow He is willing to go over the budget just to get me this treat it would honestly make me feel so loved and treasured. Now that I'm older and my parents don’t necessarily have a tight budget, I feel wow at 27 years old with a full time job, my parents are still willing to take the time to get me a high calorie delicious treat , I still devour it and remind myself to do 100 extra sit ups (haha)
So for the past two days I've been reminded to thank the Lord for every delicious treat and Kiss him back for it. So I just spent my time in Gdo's presence singing to him and thankfully kissing Him.
Jesus delights in you because you're worth it.

What am I exactly saying?? what am I doing?? Is what I'm saying or doing importan??
Loved ones it's been a whole week!!!
I want to share the Highlight of my week which was a sermon I heard in church. You know what?? It was such a great sermon I think I'll always remember it, especially when I need to be reminded of it.
In essence the sermon helped me prioritize my priorities in life. I think a lot of the time we live life just constantly feeling like we have to achieve so many goals , like making sure I do the 10Krun, I have enough savings, I'm traveling, I’m the best Sunday school teacher ever, I have the best women's ministry in the world I'm married in 5 years, I see my business grow, have my own TV show, own a magazine, earn a higher salary, be the first female something, or first African something, make sure I look younger and slimmer when I'm 40, NEED I SAY MORE!!!!!!!!
I mean we grow up and live in such a goal driven society, not living up to my standards or to society's standards can be a staggering fear or sense of failure.
So what does this have anything to do with Intimacy with Jesus??? NOTHING. Does Jesus care about me being a hot mom in my 40's still walking in h heels?? Probably YES hahah. (I'm only 27 now)
The whole point was that last week's sermon was another WAKE UP CALL for me in regards to my time and a lifestyle of intimacy with the Lord.
It’s as if you start becoming this prayer robot that Loves Jesus for what he can get you through not for who He really is and what he is about.
There's nothing wrong with having big dreams and desires, most of them are from the Lord anyway, but it’s like we start using God's Name in Vain, by creating a platform for our goals & egos all in the NAME OF LORD.
Last week’s sermon was a great reminder that our sole purpose in this generation is to spread the Kingdom of God, through his son Jesus Christ with the power of the Holy Spirit.” But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"(MATTHEW6:33)
The Lord wants nothing more than to give you & me the desires of our pumping little hearts, especially if they’re allied with his will for us. Does that mean I should seek the kingdom of God in order to get what I "desire" NOOOO. It means my heart's desire and priority should be Jesus because apart from him honestly this life has no sense of purpose.
When I pray I’m not only praying for my business to grow instead I ask the Lord how can you use this business you've given me to spread the Love of your Kingdom?? Instead of always whining about my boss or work to the Lord I say Jesus how I can show my colleagues the Love & power of your Kingdom. So I want to sign off with this encouraging scripture of worth:
John 14: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it”. (John 14:13-14)
Jesus adores you Woman of Worth!!!

Fire without Heat
As I walk and live in intimacy with Jesus daily, I've come to realize that the most important part of my relationship with Jesus is knowing and believing that I'm Loved.
I think the Enemy of our souls tries his best to rob this truth from us because of its power. There's massive power that comes with knowing how much God loves you and actually believing it.
When you don’t know and don’t believe in God's love for you, intimacy with Jesus starts to feel like you have to work for it and do your best to maintain it instead of living in it.
The other day I was thinking about Martha and Mary( Luke 10:38-42) Martha thought she was serving the Lord with all her heart and she eventually complained to Jesus and also compared herself with her sister.(which tends to happen a lot among sisters in the church) Now there’s nothing wrong with Martha cooking a meal for everyone,(I would have just asked a miracle from Jesus to feed us all and do the dishes too and clean up)I mean if Jesus(in person) decided to come over my house with all his disciples, I would probably be really under a lot of stress especially he just raised my brother Lazarus from the dead!!! It’s just that in the process of all that Martha was doing, she started to work for intimacy, because she had missed out on how much Jesus loved her. She had missed out on knowing and believing in the Love of Jesus and that his love does not need us to be perfect.
In 1st Corinthians 13:
Paul says “If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing”. Basically jumping into a Fire for the name of Jesus is meaningless if you don’t know how much you're loved. God is love, He is all about Love, if we live a life of working for intimacy instead of receiving it and living in it without Jesus who is a Gift of Love from God, it all becomes meaningless.
Serving God without God's love and serving him without knowing how much He loves you is like lighting a cold fire, and that just leaves you absolutely exhausted.
Knowing and believing in God's love for you is the foundation of intimacy with Jesus. When you know you're loved you stop living under condemnation but you begin to live in a life giving relationship with Jesus. John 3:16.
Continue to walk in Love with Jesus, You're Loved

An Inconvenient Vineyard
Hey Ladies!!!
I've been doing my best to remain faithful to blogging. So anytime I can find time to squeeze in sharing time I make sure I do it.
While letting God's word speak to me, I've been combining the book of John and the book of Kings (1&2) I truly love the stories in the Old Testament. Some of them just have some serious drama; I mean some really good soapy drama, realty TV going on.
Anyway this week I reflected on a story called NABOTH'S VINEYARD.
Basically the jest of the story is King Ahab sees a nice fruitful vineyard by a hill that belongs to a man named Naboth. The Vineyard just happens to be close to the King's palace and He thinks it would be perfect for him to plant a vegetable garden.
Ok because of the Law (Mosses Law) The King requests Naboth to either give him the vineyard close to his palace in exchange for a better vineyard or buy it from him for whatever amount Naboth Request.
Naboth's response was "I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors,” Naboth replied. "The LORD forbids that I should let you have it!" basically He told the King of Israel a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So the King went home depressed Please read the rest of it 1st Kings 21.
Anyway eventually the King and Queen eventually kill Naboth and his son's for His Vineyard.
Ok when I read this story I just thought of myself as Naboth, and the vineyard being my purity, sexual integrity, my intimacy with Jesus, my spiritual walk, finances, health e.t.c The Lord showed me that these things are gifts and an spiritual inheritance that God has given me, an inheritance that Jesus died for on the cross. And as a young woman I tend to have "King Ahabs" in my life that could lead me to compromise my Godly given inheritance. The funny thing the "King Ahabs in my Life make it sometimes make it seem worth giving up all that God has given me as part of his covenant promise for me.... These King Ahabs offer convenience, wealth, security, flatter, feeding my ego, emotions e.t.c all at the risk of me compromising my God given inheritance.
When Naboth said no to King Ahab, he knew he could put his life in danger or even delay his success. Naboth even got murdered for not selling his vineyard to the King.
I sometimes ask myself when my inheritance ever has to be tested like Naboth how will I stand? but I've learned in the past that every time I've been able to Say NO to the "King Ahabs" of my life (even just by refusing to sleep in and go exercise ha-ha or saying no to Ice-cream on weekdays or buying another pair of shoes just because its on sale ahhaah) I’ve learned that I'm not standing alone, but I really feel my intimate relationship with Jesus helping me stand.
So I truly encourage you that even if in the past or in your life you often find yourself saying yes to King Ahab, that you would know that God's grace and forgiveness has the power to restore your inheritance in him.
You know what?? The Lord made sure that Naboth's death was avenged. Everyone in Ahab's household died horrible shameful deaths and they weren't even buried. So if anyone or anything has forcefully taken away your inheritance, God will make sure that your past dies a shameful death that will be buried on the foot of the cross!!!
So Always know that you're loved and you’re a Vineyard worth everything.
WOW.

And as a young woman I tend to have "King Ahabs" in my life that could lead me to compromise my Godly given inheritance. The funny thing the "King Ahabs in my Life make it sometimes make it seem worth giving up all that God has given me as part of his covenant promise for me.... These King Ahabs offer convenience, wealth, security, flatter, feeding my ego, emotions e.t.c all at the risk of me compromising my God given inheritance.
When Naboth said no to King Ahab, he knew he could put his life in danger or even delay his success. Naboth even got murdered for not selling his vineyard to the King.
I sometimes ask myself when my inheritance ever has to be tested like Naboth how will I stand? but I've learned in the past that every time I've been able to Say NO to the "King Ahabs" of my life (even just by refusing to sleep in and go exercise ha-ha or saying no to Ice-cream on weekdays or buying another pair of shoes just because its on sale ahhaah) I’ve learned that I'm not standing alone, but I really feel my intimate relationship with Jesus helping me stand.
So I truly encourage you that even if in the past or in your life you often find yourself saying yes to King Ahab, that you would know that God's grace and forgiveness has the power to restore your inheritance in him.
You know what?? The Lord made sure that Naboth's death was avenged. Everyone in Ahab's household died horrible shameful deaths and they weren't even buried. So if anyone or anything has forcefully taken away your inheritance, God will make sure that your past dies a shameful death that will be buried on the foot of the cross!!!
So Always know that you're loved and you’re a Vineyard worth everything.
WOW.

Sacrificing Purity For a Golden Calf
Ok, I know the title sounds a little heavy. But you know what a few months ago, I just had the urge to read Exodus, I love the stories in the old testament, no matter how many times I read them, I always feel God through his Holy spirit teaches me something new. I really feel that the word of God is never stale; it’s as if every time you read it with your heart, no matter how exhausted, time of day or discouraged you feel, The Lord always shows you a refreshing revelation. It’s interesting that every revelation is a reminder of how valuable we are not only as women but as daughters of the King.
So I read Exodus 32
When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods [a] who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."
2 Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, [b] O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
You know after reading this scripture I wasn't really upset at the lack of Faith the Israelites, but instead I felt sad that the WOMEN were the first to give up their Jewelry to mold the calf. According to scripture it seems like no one protected the WOMEN from giving up their Jewelry. I started thinking to myself the whole story would have been different if a few husbands, fathers and brothers stood up and said "We refuse to see our wives, daughters and sons give up their Jewelry to fashion Sin".
You know the Lord began to show me that the jewelry used to fashion the golden calf actually represented purity. The Israelites needed PURE Gold, PURITY to construct a god they could worship, a god that would make them feel secure, make them feel valued, provide for them, give them direction.
Unfortunately our world is a lot like the Israelites; our world is willing to sacrifice purity at the expense of God's children to fashion misleading gods that give our world false security, guidance and value. I mean if we look at every marketing strategy for cosmetics, cars, clothes e.t.c, it permits young women to give up their jewels or Purity to get our attention, and for false profitable gain.
I'm not promoting feminism or anything else, it’s just that after I read this scripture I started praying that the Lord would raise up men and women that will fight to protect the purity of this generation. Men and women that will stand and say "we will not allow our wives, daughters, sons, sisters and brothers to give up their PURITY to Fashion a Golden Calf". I pray that as we heal from the hurts of the past and remain healed, we would continue to ask the Lord to guard our hearts so that we would not give up our purity to fashion golden calves that will draw us away from an intimate relationship with Jesus.
As always you're a woman of worth fashioned with God's Love and that makes you a pure crowned princess of God meant to reign & rule with him.
You’re loved.

The Light Shines On
Hmmm Ok I know its been forever since I've updated our blog. I'm still working in this area of discipline in my life. Its been 3 perfect beautiful months since I've updated. WOW group has been through a lot of changes lately, we've experienced some of our dear sisters moving back to their home countries and we trust that God will continue to ever shine His face upon each one of them.
These Past three months I've personally experienced the Love and Intimacy of Jesus. You Know as I indulge in the WORD especially the book of John, I just find some amazing healing and Loving truths about the reality of Jesus. In John 1:8 It says "He Himself was not the Light(this is talking about John the baptist)He came only as witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyman was coming into the world" You know as I write this scripture verse my eyes are filled with tears, because I truly believe that as we experience a true intimate relationship with Jesus people around us truly see God, they see the likeness of God and NOT of RELIGION. When we Live in the light of Jesus we become living witnesses that the truth of JESUS is the reality in this world filled with Lies. Our Intimacy with Jesus really transforms us to the absolute likeness, image and the presence of the True living God.
Like John the Baptist our relationship with Jesus should proclaim and prepare the way of the Lord in the strongholds and dark places of this world. When were in a true intimate relationship with Jesus the words we speak, the way we eat, sleep, handle our finances, our attitude about work, life, exercise, business, relationships will be absolutely Godly and will bring nations to the true light of Jesus Christ.
Always remember that you're a crown Princess not because of what you've done, because of who God says you are and that is a Women OF Great Worth..
Jesus adores you

WORD UP
John 1. In him was life and that life was the light of men” Thank you Jesus that you’re life, you’re WORD is life.
Sometimes we feel that there areas in our lives that are dead, and because of these dead areas or sense of death in us, we can’t truly experience the intimacy we’re meant to have with God. I often hear sermons and read books and articles about intimacy with Jesus and how our relationship with Jesus needs to change from a religious mindset to an intimate lifestyle with him. In our women’s group we often talk about having an intimate relationship with Christ so that we can heal from our past hurts.
However the question always remains how do I have intimacy with Jesus? Is there a formula?? Should I increase my prayer time? Should I attend more cell groups, read my bible more. Have an accountability partner, get married, fast from shopping, or take a 40 day fast from face book or my favorite gossip magazine. All these things seem like the best formula. I’ve tried them and after every shopping fast, I do actually realize that my worth in Jesus is not in my fashion sense
But the Lord has been showing me a lot lately that I can do all these things and still not have intimacy with him. I’ve come to realize that intimacy with God is not how well you hear his voice, oh how many visions you get, and how many people are on your prayer list and all the global issues you intercede for. But it’s letting his WORD bring life to all the dark areas in your life. I feel so many times we try to live life with dead areas, such as insecurities, unhealthy & ungodly relationships, jealousy, competition, addictions, worry, fear ,weight issues, hating our jobs and our boss, need for attention, not liking or loving ourselves you name it. I find it so hurtful and sad that a lot of us in the body of Christ are still wounded casualties not prepared as the army and bride of Christ were called to be. I mean we say we’re walking with the Lord yet still can’t overcome the dead areas in our lives and still live in fear. What is wrong here!!!????(This LARGLEY INCLUDES ME)
So as I spent time NOT READING my “Bible” but seeking and studying the WORD of God, which is the Life of God, the Lord showed me through his WORD I can experience an effortless intimacy with him, an intimacy that will restore, and keep me restored, pour vision, joy, life in the dead areas. Through this I’m being taught that a lifestyle of prayer begins with finding life and intimacy through the WORD of God. When we dig into the WORD we dig into our ROOTS, into the source and origin of who we are and are meant to be and that is experiencing all of God. All we ever need to understand about ourselves is in God. I long to be at a point where I’m daily consumed by HIS WORD in every area of my life and yes that includes my job too, my morning hikes, bathroom time, business deals, shopping for a new non-emergency pair of shoes, even praying life over the celebrities I read about on the gossip columns, because before everything began the WORD was there and it was with GOD and the WORD was God < Jesus the WORD was with God in the Beginning. The journey and lifestyle of intimacy with God begins in the WORD, through the love of Jesus, because apart from him we can’t do anything.

Purity
It’s been a while, but the great thing is the joy of always meeting together every Tuesday and just chilling.Last week we had a time of prayer, and the Prayer Item was Purity, it was just so awesome to see women of all different backgrounds rejoice in being pure. The Lord reminded us that true purity is not hiding or suppressing our impurities, but bringing them out and exposing them into the Light of Jesus. We are made pure when we're completely honest with God, when we tell him exactly how we feel as graphic and scary as it may sound in our ears, God is faithful not to condemn us but take all that we expose to Him and refine us through His perfect love and forgiveness. Our prayer is that you would know and believe that the past and your impurities are not your worth, but God's perfect love for you makes you a woman of great worth.
有一段時間沒更新網誌了，但最棒的是能和大家在每個星期二見面且大家一起放鬆。
上個禮拜我們一起花些時間禱告，而且禱告的主題是潔淨、純全，非常棒的是能看到來自不同背景的女性能在純潔裡喜樂。上帝提醒我們真正的純淨是不隱藏或是抑制我們的不純淨成長，而是釋放那些不潔淨讓他們揭露在耶穌基督的光裡。當我們完全在上帝面前誠實的時候我們才是真正潔淨的，就算我們確切的告訴他我們的感受就像在我們耳裡聽到的一樣生動和害怕，但上帝是實信的不譴責的，祂承擔所有一切我們揭露給他的且經由祂完美的愛和寬恕來琢磨我們。我們的禱告是你會了解且相信你的過去和你的不純淨是無法衡量你的價值的，但上帝完美的愛會讓你成為偉大價值女人!

WOMEN OF WORTH
WOW Taiwan, is a God given purpose to encourage women all over Taiwan and in other parts of Asia to build Godly convenant friendships and relationships that will not only equip them, but also empower them to realize their worth, Identity, beauty and inheritance in this world, through the powerful Loving Grace of God and His Son Jesus Christ.
WOW台灣，一個上帝賜予目的來鼓勵全台女性以及各亞洲女性建立與上帝聖約的友誼關係，這種關係不只是能裝備他們也能使他們透過上帝大能的愛和他的兒子耶穌基督了解自己在這世界上
的價值、身分、美麗和特徵。
We encourage women of all generations, cultural background,race,economic status,marital status, to bridge their differences through the healing love of Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that we will train, equip and be intruments of God's healing for women that have a desire to indulge in the inheritance that God has for them and also diciple Queen Esters that will be set free from all sorts of strongholds.
In the book of Titus 2:3-5, Paul gives an instruction to Timothy to encourage covenant relationships between young and Older women. As God's queens and princess, we are meant to not only see each other through the eyes and love of Jesus, but to learn from one another and teach one another about our value in Jesus christ. In the book of Matthew, we see a great example of a covenant friendship between Elizabeth and Her cousin Mary. Elizabeth had just concieved her son, future "John the Baptist", the Bible says when Elizabeth saw Mary after she had also concieved Jesus, She not only leapt for joy, but the Child in her also leapt for joy. I dont know if Mary had informed Elizabeth about her pregnancy, but this is a wonderful testimony of the covenant relationship that God desires for his princesses, and that is not to only encourage the best in each other but to see the greatness in each other without feeling threatned, jealous or competitive. But to rejoice in each other's greatness as Princesses and Queens of our Heavenly father.
在提多書2:3-5 中，保羅給提摩太指示鼓勵年輕與青年的女生建立立約的關係。對於做上帝的皇后和公主，我們的使命不只是透過自我目光和上帝的愛來看彼此，而是互相學習與教導有關我們在耶穌基督裡的價值。在馬太書裡有一個偉大的例子關於與伊莉莎白和她的表妹瑪莉建立友誼。 伊莉莎白剛懷了她的兒子─未來的 “施洗者約翰”，聖經上說伊莉莎白看到瑪麗也正好懷著耶穌的時候，她不只充滿著喜悅，那個在她肚中的孩子也充滿喜悅，我不知道瑪莉是否知會伊莉莎白有關他的孕事，但這是一件很棒的見證有關與上帝渴望給他的公主們立約的關係；而且這不只是鼓勵對方最棒的優點而是摒除威脅、忌妒或是競爭的去看到對方的大能。做為我們天父的公主與皇后也要去歡欣鼓舞慶祝彼此的大能。
We Encourage you to be a part of this covenant,where you'll not only get weekly inspiration from other women, but you'll also be able to make sure that you make it a point to meet and pray with other women in your neighbohood, and also build cross-generational relationships with women of all walks of life.
我們鼓勵你成為這誓約的一部分，從中不只會每周從其他女性得到啟發，你也會能夠和在你社區的其他女性一起見面禱告，一起與走在生活中的女性建立跨世代的關係。
