A Ministry is Born

Written by Karla Herbert

Isn't God just the best? I love how He lays something on our hearts, gets us excited about it, and then asks us to be His hands and feet in spreading His message.

Take yesterday, for example. All I was doing was putting on makeup and listening to Casting Crowns singing their song titled "Until the Whole World Hears." I was belting out the lyrics, making a joyful noise to God, (who is the only one within 100 ft. of me that thinks I'm the best singer in the world) when He spoke to my heart loud and clear.

I heard "There's an army of women out there that need to be my prayer warriors."

We are to pray and call out to Him on behalf of our families, husbands, parents, friends, neighbors, etc. 

His other specific words were, "Intercede. Watch me at work!"

So far what I've received in direction from Him is that this will start as an online prayer ministry. My first goal was to ask people for their prayers as I start this new ministry. Then I knew I needed to start a blog. Next may be getting a group going on Facebook, then a website. After that I'm not sure where this will go, but I've already told God I'm all His.

Well here we are and I stand amazed at how God gets the ball rolling. He's given me many ideas, a few people who are already praying for this ministry, and an offer that came in this morning to help promote An Army of God's Women.

I'm sitting here smiling! I've worn this grin almost all day today. I turn around and He's making more plans for me. What an incredible God, and just to think that only last year at this time I was in reality quite far away from Him. That's another story, but one that I'll share over time.

I can't wait to begin this amazing prayer relationship with God and with you, my dear prayer warriors. Ready yourselves.
