Women Empowered by the Word has a
large impact on my life! I am learning to live a life of excellence unto
God. I am able to trust others for spiritual and emotional support. I am
learning to be an intercessor as the muscle and tendons that holds each part
of the body of Christ together. I’ve acquired a greater understanding of
God’s Word and how to dig deeper than just on the surface. I am able to
receive the spiritual nutrition God’s Word holds for us. I understand that
no matter how long I walk with God, there is no end to what He has to teach
and reveal to us about Himself.

One of the things I have learned
through God and Women Empowered by the Word Ministry is how to love. Before
I came to the fellowship, the only people I loved were my families and
friends. I would not even give anyone a hug. But through God’s love and
the women of Women Empowered by the Word, I have truly learned what love
is. Now I can hug and love without feeling out of place. I am right where
I belong. Thank God for Women Empowered by the Word and our inspirational
leader, Pastor Brenda Vega.

We are all different yet we are
all the same. Women Empowered by the Word has helped me to meet other women
who care for the body of Christ. We show forth our love for Christ by our
love for each other. We lift each other up in prayer and have fun
together. We establish lasting friendships with other women. Women
Empowered by the Word is a great place to start your new fellowship in the
Lord!

I count it a blessing and an
awesome privilege to be a member of Women Empowered by the Word Ministry (W.E.W).
I am very thankful to God for our leader, Pastor Brenda Vega and all of the
women I have grown to love.
Before I joined W.E.W., I was not
quite sure of my identity. You know, I defined myself as a wife, friend,
daughter, sister, etc. One day, my husband walked out on me. My world was
turned upside down. Life as I knew it was over, I thought. I was
devastated! I did not know who I was anymore. Shortly afterwards, a
girlfriend invited me to a W.E.W. gathering. I will always be grateful to
God and my friend for inviting me. Had it not been for W.E.W., I just
don’t know how I would get through this storm. I tried counseling and
everything. It was not until I became a part of the ministry that I began
to see past my pain. I felt an immediate connection with the women at W.E.W.
I continued to attend and looked forward in excitement and anticipation of
what God was going to do regardless of my circumstance. Needless to say,
The Lord gave me a garment of praise for my heaviness. The women of W.E.W
loved me, prayed for me and with me and they shared their testimonies with
me. Their confidence and faith in God strengthened and encouraged me to
continue trusting in the Lord. The Lord healed my broken heart, restored
my joy in Him and my marriage.
Today thanks to Pastor Brenda and
the women at W.E.W, I now understand who I am in Christ, praise the Lord! I
know now that my life has purpose and that I have victory the circumstances
of life. I know this to be true without a shadow of doubt! I am who I am
today because of W.E.W. My faith in God has increased, my prayer life has
blossomed, I have grown in wisdom, knowledge and understanding; I am more
loveable and forgiving now than ever before. I display more of the fruits
of the spirit now than ever before. Although I may not be exactly where I
want to be, I am thankful that I am not where I use to be in my walk with
Christ. In my experience, W.E.W is truly a unique ministry. It is so
amazing how real and transparent we can be with each other. I feel totally
connected to my sisters in Christ. We love each other, we care about the
community, we encourage and pray for each other, we laugh, we cry and we
have a wonderful time learning how to apply God’s word in practical and real
ways in our lives. I would not trade this experience for any other.

If I have not learned anything
else, I’ve learned to love, trust and let God be the head of my life.
Pastor Brenda being led by the Holy Spirit has taught us how to fight with
the Word of God and that we can overcome any situation. I have learned to
pray about whatever situation or circumstance that I may face, instead of
being led by my feelings. Pastor Brenda does not have a selfish bone in her
body. She gives her time whenever she’s asked. She is always there when we
need her. She is always willing to give an encouraging word and a hug.
Pastor Brenda is a true asset to the Kingdom of God.

As a young woman, attending Women
Empowered by the Word has resulted in a stronger relationship with the
Lord. We have great fellowship with one another. We learn how to become
Godly women. The great thing I enjoy about the ministry is the open
discussions and real, engaging conversation that we have. The things we
talk about never leave the room. We have great trust and respect for one
another. Sometimes we laugh, cry, play, pray, and sing praises onto the
Most High God. Overall I can truly say that I am blessed to be a part of a
vision so special.

Women Empowered by the Word has
made a huge impact in my life! This ministry has become a driving force in
my life to learn about God and His promises. I have found my purpose and
rightful place in the Kingdom of God. It is through powerful techniques in
which the Word of God is studied and how it is delivered that has kept me
grounded in the Word. I always wanted to know and to learn more about God.
However, I knew that I could not do it alone.
At Women Empowered by the Word
Bible Study, there is such a break down in the study of the word that you
cannot help but to say, “It is right here in the Bible!” Yes you must see
it and read it for yourself! I have learned that when everything is done in
the right order, sins are forgiven, chains are broken and lives are made
whole again. Healing takes place, some right before our very eyes and most
importantly souls are saved.
At Women Empowered by the Word,
“to change is to grow!” It is a place of refuge, a place of retreat, a
place of restoration and a place to learn. I’ve learned what it means to
usher into (invite and welcome) the presence of the Lord, who God is and why
He died for me. I also learned why it is important for us to study and know
the word of God for ourselves. I know now that the power of prayer can help
me to change any situation in my everyday life experience. I cannot wait
for Thursdays to come around, and as that day of the week gets closer, I
began to wonder, “What is the Spirit of God going to do tonight?” I
often find myself asking God to please let me get off work on time. Please
allow my mind to be open to receive the Word and be in obedience to act on
it. I was invited to attend the Women Empowered by the Word, and so today
to you, I extend the same gift.
I thank God that I am a member of
Women Empowered by the Word. I thank God for our leader, Pastor Brenda for
allowing God to use her to minister to us and for having the mind of
Christ. Pastor Brenda is a reflection of God’s love here in the earth. I
thank you Pastor Brenda for letting your light shine so brightly!

Women Empowered by the Word has
changed my life! It’s caused me to be like Paul, to abase and to abound.
It has taught me to be content in every situation of my life. I have
learned that God is always on the throne and He knows exactly where I am at
all times and His grace is sufficient for me. The most incredible thing I
have learned is that God will give me the desires of my heart when my heart
is set on Him.
When I came to Women Empowered by
the Word, I was secretly broken hearted and felt incomplete as a woman. I
was a 36 year woman with no children trying to mask my pain and
disappointments. I had done all that I could do and all that money could
buy to no avail. The more I tried, the bigger the gap in my heart became.
I found out that I was the reason there were no children in my home. People
told me to adopt or get foster children but I was never at peace with any of
those options. A friend invited me to the Women Empowered by the Word Bible
Study. I was looking for the “fix all” or something new, exciting and
different. I found it in every woman and our teacher, Pastor Brenda.
Pastor Brenda teaches God’s Word with such clarify and understanding.
Pastor Brenda is a gift to the Body of Christ!
I learned how to pray, praise,
then to enter into the presence of the Lord. I learned to forgive and to
ask for forgiveness and to love again. I laid my pain down at Jesus’ feet
and began to want more of Him in my life. Low and behold He began to meet
the desires of my heart. God healed my heart and brought many children into
my life from new born to young first time mothers!
I am excited about every new
lesson that we receive through the teaching of Pastor Brenda Vega. I expect
God, through His Holy Spirit to create great and mighty things in each of
our lives! As we yield, our marriages are made whole; our bodies are healed
and we are free from all emotional pain. We walk in the precepts and
promises of God. Our old baggage is either thrown away or unpacked and
Jesus Christ is allowed to take His rightful place in our lives. He dwells
upon the throne room of our hearts. We are so privileged to have been
directed to this powerful women’s ministry where we are made whole through
the love of Christ.
Mother of many, no longer barren! |
