iGETitLIFE Ladies Event breakout session leader speaks out.

Last Sunday I heard Anita Onarecker Wood present the question, “What to do with the miracles in your past?” Wow, what power, presence, and purpose she displayed as she shared her journey with God and the miracles worked in her life. She challenges us to consider God’s work around us and our response.

Anita models her challenge. She shared years of ministry with her late husband, Dick Onarecker. She accompanied him on the Trinity Bridge that fateful day written about in 90 Minutes in Heaven when Dick prayed for Don Piper. After Dick’s passing, she felt challenged in her ministry and pursued a seminary education. She began a speaking ministry and is taking God’s past miracles, putting feet to faith, and stepping out believing God’s lead.

Anita serves in ministry to women as the Southern Baptist of Texas Women’s Ministry Team Regional Representative and travels speaking to audiences of all kinds. She is heading to Brazil for a ministry of evangelical speaking and is scheduled to bring a vibrant message as a breakout session speaker at our iGETitLIFE Ladies Event September 18-20, 2009. You won’t want to miss her authenticity as she shares her blind step of faith. Register now so you won’t miss it.

Our other speakers are way-out awesome as well.

God calls names. Hard to believe, but in both the old and the new parts of the Bible he called people names. He called the righteous, "sinners"; wimps, "mighty heroes"; and stones, "big rocks" (Lk. 18:9-14, Jg. 6:12, Mt. 16:18). Each time he is stating something that is, but is not yet revealed or seen. God calls an Ace an Ace, whether others see the spot or not. The ones being named don’t see it in themselves and often no one else sees it either.  I guess if the name-calling is to point out reality or truth as God does, it’s okay.  

Bad kid, or creative genius?

God sees our reality better than we do and guides us to realize it ourselves. While hiding from the enemy Gideon must’ve felt much more like a wimp than a “Mighty hero” (NLT, Jg. 6:12). Gideon didn’t jump up out of the winepress with inflated chest instantly becoming a great leader, but he trusted God enough to begin obeying him. Gideon’s transformation or step into his reality didn’t happen overnight. But in time and through daily obedience to God he found himself full of the Spirit of God and leading the people of God victoriously—a mighty hero.

Since each Christ follower is called, what is that God whispered into your spirit? What has God called you? Leader. Follower. Encourager. Warrior. Pray-er. Speaker. Server. Helper. Writer. Mentor. Teacher. Are you trusting him to make it real to you by daily obeying his promptings? If so, like Gideon, one day you will look back in amazement, wondering how cool it is to trust God and see that he’s done amazing things in and around you.

Daily trusting and becoming . . .
