Where Christan Women Go to Grow in the Supernatural Word of God
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1: 2-4
Are you facing a trial right now? Do you feel like despair has become your dancing partner – always there and constantly stepping on your toes? [Read more…]
The first step to becoming a Kingdom Purpose Woman is to be able to understand the Kingdom itself. After all, how can we live with a Kingdom Purpose if we cannot “see” the Kingdom? And how do we see a Kingdom that cannot be seen with human eyes or understood with human intellect?
It became a mandate for my family that we would walk squarely in midst of the Kingdom of God, and not be hanging out on the fringes. The safe place, the shelter of Most High (Psalms 91:1), is to be in the middle of the Kingdom – in the middle of His Word.
Observe herd animals in the wild (or even domestic). They all have enemies seeking to kill, steal and devour. And which members of the herd do they target? The ones on the fringes of the group. The members of the herd which are in the middle of the group are safest. This may be a weak analogy, but it does exemplify a principle of the Kingdom. The deeper you are in God’s Word, the safer you are in His shelter.
Seek first the Kingdom of God. Matthew 6:33
Therein lies the challenge. I am seeking something that I cannot see with my human eyes nor perceive with my human intellect. How do I seek such a thing?
This is the beginning of a series that is one of the most important teachings I have ever taught. Absolutely, beyond any doubt, this will prove to be a fundamental key to a deeper walk with Jesus Christ. My purpose in this series is to open your eyes to be able to “see” – to perceive – the Kingdom of God and understand how it affects every area of your life.
Why is this important? I mean, why bother?
When you live outside the kingdom of God you live outside the protection and provision of God’s Holy shelter. It is literally the difference between success and disaster in your marriage, your parenting, your workplace, your friendships; those places where the truth of the Kingdom are literally played out. And what of persecution? How will you stand in the face of societal or governmental pressure that rails against what you know is true, if you are not dwelling in His power and His strength?
Without the Kingdom, you can work as hard as you can to have a good marriage and still have a troubled one. You can believe what you read in the Bible and teach the Bible to your children, and still have problem children, or have them grow up and turn away. You can convince yourself that you will not bend to pressure in the workplace or other public areas, yet crumble with the torrent of persecution tests your foundation.
So before we begin to talk about how we live our lives by the Bible, we first have to open your eyes to understanding just what the Kingdom of Jesus Christ really is and how it works. Any discussion about how we live that is not Kingdom-based is merely human reasoning. As we will soon see, human reasoning has no place in the Kingdom of God.

Lesson 1 – A Kingdom Purpose
Do you relate to any of these statements?
This is your heart, your desire. You love the Word of God. You proclaim Jesus as your Lord. But you read the Bible and you see things there you cannot quite understand or relate to. You hear stories about how others have their prayers answered, or experience grand miracles or healings, but you cannot figure out why it doesn’t seem to work for you. You read about “the peace that surpasses all understanding.” It’s in your Bible, but it’s not in your life. No, your life is stress and striving and contention. Why is that?
You read your Bible, but you know your life does not look like what your Bible says. Deep inside there is a longing for more – more understanding, more knowledge, more wisdom. You want more of God, but the world is lulling you with its siren’s long of conformity.
Ladies, it is time to armor up, strengthen yourself in the Word of God, and shake off those chains of conformity! I am here to point out the narrow way, guide you through obstacles of resistance, redirect you from the world’s ways to the deeper things of Christ Jesus. My goal is to reveal the truth of the Kingdom of God and help you discover your Purpose in that Kingdom.
You are a woman of destiny! Your assignment is to discover the reality of this Kingdom and fulfill your God-given purpose in it. No matter your past, it is now time to live your life with Power and Peace. The way forward is to become a Kingdom Purpose Woman!
Lesson 2 – The Importance of Seeking God’s Kingdom
Once I became a new creation in Christ, the process of transformation began to be exhibited. In the post Tarrying for Transformation, I established that the process of renewing the mind is what transforms outward actions and behaviors over a period of time.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4
I suspect this process to be ongoing, yet Paul did reach a point he could say, “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race.” (II Timothy 4:7) It implies an idea of completion.
I safely say I am no where near completion, yet I have seen major changes that I know are the new creation [Read more…]
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
This passage from Romans is one of the most notoriously memorized and quoted scriptures in the entire Bible. It is a popular tool of evangelism because it gets right to the point of what it takes to be saved; and a quick answer is just what our fast-food-I-want-it-now society demands.
Before we jump on the instantaneous answer bandwagon, let’s take a step back [Read more…]
Marjorie Lou explains the image of God that we were made to reflect.
Do you have eyes to see the Kingdom of God? Do you understand what the Kingdom of God is?
The first step to becoming a Kingdom Purpose Woman is to be able to understand the Kingdom itself. After all, how can we live with a Kingdom purpose if we cannot “see” the Kingdom? And how do we see a kingdom that cannot be seen with natural human eyes or understood with human intelligence?
Marjorie recently completed her first of a number of teaching series on understanding the Kingdom of God.

Once we become a new creation in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17), does that mean we are all brand new and old habits disappear automatically? Well, that would be great if, when we put off the old man – poof – old habits are gone and new mannerisms and mindsets are automatically “installed on our hard drive!” If we have been born again as a new creation, why is it not so instant as this?
