Empowered By God

In this 60-day devotional, you'll see how faith and life intertwine through your whole self--physical, relational, spiritual, mental, and emotional. Through stories and Scripture, you'll be empowered in every part of your being to live fully as God created you to be.

Through the inspiring stories of eleven faithful women, Empowered will show girls that God is the true source of their power, strength, and purpose in life. In the pages of this book, girls will encounter women they may never have heard of and will learn some of the character traits that go along with the Christian walk. But they will also encounter a God who is faithful to complete the work He has begun in them. The stories in Empowered are about faithful women, but even more about a steadfast God. Girls don't have to do the things these women have done to live a life of purpose; by making a direct connection to their daily lives, readers will have a bigger and a more personal view of their Father and His love for them. The same God who was faithful to give Corrie ten Boom the love she needed to forgive her prison guard can help girls love the unlovable bullies at school. The love for Jesus that compelled Sophie Scholl to sacrifice her life for a higher cause can empower a young girl who sees injustice in the world around her. In a culture where the youth see value in terms of Instagram likes and viral videos, the life of Pandita Ramabai will show the value of humble worship. Empowered flips the popular idea of what it means to be a strong girl on its head, showing that real power comes from our loving Father through His Son and removing the pressure girls may feel to conquer the world on their own.

What would happen if we actually lived our faith to its full potential? Not defined it, not discussed it, not preached it to others, but actually practiced it with simplicity and consistency each day of our lives? Imagine the impact we could have on those around us if, with God as our source, we would radiate his love, optimism, and grace in all our circumstances and relationships. Today Christians are often seen as negative and judgmental. That is not the character of Jesus! Our Lord has called us to lives of incredible potential filled with challenges worthy of his name---lives of passion, risk, growth, heart, depth, and deeds big and small, all designed to display what God's kingdom is really about to a watching world. That is what faith is about. It is the faith Dick Capen invites us to reach for---a faith not for superstars but for ordinary people. Capen offers a 'faith lift' that will change how you view your life, how you live it, and how it impacts others as you go about being who you were created to be.

The modern church suffers from a serious identity crisis. Many Christians don t know who they really are in Christ. Churches languish in the land of lack, listless, powerless and with little influence in the world. This is about to change! God is birthing a new thing in the church. He is calling all believers to embrace the anointing of the Hoy Spirit and walk in His divine power to change the world. The harvest is plentiful and the coming end-time revival needs a vibrant, anointed church that is ready to receive that harvest. God doesn t use just superstars ; He longs to anoint ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He longs to anoint you. If not you, who? If not now, when? Now is the time!
