Letter from theFounder SWEET WOMAN OF GOD, I celebrate with you the arrows of prospering as God’s Word and His promises soar into the world through Voice of Truth magazine. His steadfast love and bounties are free-flowing to minister directly to your heart when you need it most. As we unite with women from around the world of different cultures and colors to encourage our sisterhood, I hope one thing is common amongst all of us; that we have a heart to share Christ’s steadfast love, ever-flowing mercy, and encircling grace. God’s love for us is unending. His promises are true. It is our prayer in this ministry that each of us love God with a heart full of action. Our love for God should be all-consuming. As believers and God’s children, we are called to submit ourselves to a higher authority and do what God tells us. If we believe in Him, then we obey Him because He alone is God. Our love for God should be all-consuming. As Women World Leaders, we find relatable stories of following the Lord and obeying Him throughout His Word that can be shared with you to help you and empower you. We encourage you to a closer walk with your Savior, Jesus Christ. In order to walk with Jesus, we need to be obedient to Him. The opposite of obedience is disobedience, which is sin. Salvation from sin comes by faith in Christ alone, and when Christ alone is Lord and King in our lives, we will desire to walk in obedience to God. Deep spiritual humility is obedience to God. (James 4:6) Full obedience to God carries the instruction of total surrender to Him. The Bible affirms that our love for Jesus is the greatest motivator of our obedience to Him. What is so beautiful about this truth is that it carries with it numerous blessings from God. Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to Him. (Psalm 128:1, NIV)
As I have the privilege to share Voice Of Truth magazine with you, there is a common thread woven through this publication that I pray you will highlight in your mind: trust and obey God. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the active ingredient in trust. As we trust God, we obey Him. Trust carries the weight of our belief. When we believe Him, He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or imagine. I get goosebumps just knowing what is to come from trusting God and being obedient. It’s always more than I could imagine. Obedience is evidence of our trust applied and carried out in our daily walk with God. Through obedience, we experience all the blessings of the Holy Spirit who lives within us. May your day be filled with God’s extravagant love as He wraps His arms around you. May you be comforted as you read, and as you are inspired, may you be moved to actions of obedience through His scriptures, and the writings within. Exceedingly, abundantly, beyond!
