From The Podium
If the words of Edmond Burke "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing", are true, then we all have much to do if we are going to come out on top of good. It kind of reminds me of what it truly means to intercede (to go in and secure victory for those who cannot go in and get it for themselves). It means to stand in the gap on the behalf of another.
As I began to execute this exercise, I discovered a craving deep within my heart for success and visible results. I had to have it. I hate to lose. I was born again to win. The craving led me on a quest for the ingredient needed to master the art of intercession. I found it. It is called faith with feet. It is simply releasing yourself from the prostrate position to the position of a confident warrior that believes, receives and knows even when it is not so obvious or visible yet. That prayer warrior will put his hand to the plow and not look back but will reach forward for the prize and not be discouraged by anything or anyone. Why not? Well, because he heard the answer to the prayer before being released from the prostrate position (Mother Johnson called it praying until you break through). Now we can boldly declare that "this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith" I John 5:4b.
So here I am today, having realized that our human society would never encounter or experience sheer, raw, gifting given to each of us by God in its purest form as we have seen in Michael Jordan on a basketball court, Celene Dion in front of a microphone, Venus Williams at Wimbledon, Billy Graham in front of a crusade crowd, Vera Wang, at a drawing table, Paige Johnson on a horse or Michael Phelp in the swimming pool- unless there was somebody, somewhere, who believed in them enough to mentor, pray, teach, equip, and impart life, truth, wisdom, and love by giving them a chance to pursue a dream that developed from a divine calling.
I ask and pray that you will join in with us in a ministry assignment called The King's Daughters Court - divinely designed to save generations of women and girls from the devastation of a broken family, the destruction caused by divorce, HIV/AIDS, low self-esteem, broken homes, and further decline of good morals and values in our society and in our world. We must work diligently to restore honor, dignity, respect and humility to the family and all women regardless of race, cultural experience or religious background.
We believe all is not lost. We know that we truly can make a difference by reaching out to give a hand to someone in need of love, guidance, knowledge, and family. Together we can add feet to our prayers and our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
