 🌿 When Compassion Becomes a Calling: Lessons from Nehemiah 1:2–4 Bible Text: > “When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.” — Nehemiah 1:4 (KJV) 💔 The Moment that Changed Nehemiah’s Life Some messages don’t just reach your ears—they reach your soul. When Nehemiah received the heartbreaking news about the condition of Jerusalem, everything around him stopped. His heart broke. The once-glorious city of God lay in ruins—its walls torn down, its gates burned, and its people living in fear and disgrace. Even though Nehemiah lived far away in the comfort of the Persian palace, his spirit was tied to the pain of his people. He didn’t ignore what he heard or say, “That’s not my problem.” Instead, he sat down, wept, mourned, fasted, and prayed. That reaction was not weakness—it was divine sensitivity. It was God stirring his heart to act. 🌿 The Context of Nehemiah 1:2–4 Nehemiah was serving as the cupbeare...

🔸 Thriving, Not Just Surviving, as a Christian Woman

spiritual power for women,God’s strength for Christian women and empowered woman of God

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8 (NIV)
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” — Proverbs 31:25 (NIV)

 “You weren’t created to live a powerless life. You were called to walk in divine strength, boldness, and purpose. Explore tools and teachings that empower women to thrive in faith and power.”



Introduction: After the Wall, Comes the Fire

The moment the walls of Jericho came crashing down, a divine energy surged through the camp of Israel. It was more than a military victory—it was a spiritual ignition. The people had obeyed. God had shown up. And now, a new kind of power was released.

In the same way, when your Jericho falls, you don’t just step into freedom—you step into fire. A holy, thrilling fire. A Spirit-born power that transforms your walk, your voice, your worship, and your purpose.

This chapter is for every woman who is ready to thrive, not just survive—to live thrilling in power.


What Does It Mean to Be “Thrilling in Power”?

To thrill means to feel intense excitement or joy. When you thrill in power, you don’t just experience God’s strength—you enjoy it. You live from it. You are no longer hiding behind your battles. You step forward with your eyes blazing and your spirit alive.

Thrilling in Power Is:

  • Living boldly, not fearfully

  • Speaking prophetically, not apologetically

  • Moving in faith, not hesitation

  • Enjoying the authority Jesus gave you, without guilt or shame

2 Timothy 1:7 says,

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”


From Timid to Terrifying—in the Spirit

Before Jericho, Israel was wandering, wondering, weary. After Jericho, they were a terrifying force. So much so that the next cities began to fear them before they even arrived.

That’s what happens when God moves in your life: your spiritual atmosphere changes.

You become a woman the enemy regrets messing with. You become a threat.

You are no longer the one being chased—you’re the one taking territory.

Signs You’re Thrilling in Power:

  • You speak with boldness and don’t second-guess yourself.

  • You step out in faith without needing every detail.

  • You pray as if heaven is backing you—because it is.

  • You don’t shrink to fit comfort zones—you expand them.


Power Is Not a Feeling—It’s a Mantle

Let’s get this straight: you won’t always “feel” powerful. But power isn’t a feeling—it’s a mantle you carry by faith.

Just like Elijah passed his cloak to Elisha, God has passed down a spiritual mantle to you—a mantle of power, purpose, and presence.

When you operate under this mantle:

  • Chains break

  • Doors open

  • Heaven moves


The Power Within You Is for a Purpose

God doesn’t empower you to make you popular—He empowers you to advance His kingdom.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8

The power is not just to feel good, but to:

  • Prophesy life where death has ruled

  • Intercede fiercely where apathy existed

  • Create change where stagnation once lived

  • Lead boldly where fear once whispered

This is not the time to be quiet, sister. This is your moment to roar in the Spirit.


Obstacles You Must Watch for When You Begin to Walk in Power

1. Pride

Sometimes, the more power we walk in, the more tempted we are to forget who gave it.

Stay humble. Remember, it’s God’s power through you—not your own.

2. Fear of Man

You can’t walk in boldness and be worried about who approves of you.

Galatians 1:10 (NIV):

“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?”

3. Isolation

The more powerful you become, the more strategic your community must be. Stay connected. Warriors walk in ranks.


Power Is Maintained in the Presence

You can’t pour out what you haven’t received. To maintain your power, you need regular refills from the presence of God.

  • Worship keeps the fire burning.

  • Scripture keeps your sword sharp.

  • Prayer keeps your spirit tuned.

  • Obedience keeps your feet aligned.

If you want to live thrilling in power, you must remain anchored in intimacy with God.

“Apart from Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5


A Woman Thrilling in Power Looks Like This:

  • Like Deborah: Who judged a nation and prophesied victory

  • Like Jael: Who ended a battle with a tent peg in her hand

  • Like Mary Magdalene: Who didn’t wait to be invited, but ran to tell the resurrection story

  • Like You: Yes, you—rising, roaring, reclaiming, and ruling in your spiritual territory


Reflection Questions:

  1. What does "power" mean to you right now in your faith walk?

  2. Have you ever shrunk back from your spiritual authority? Why?

  3. What is one bold step you can take this week to thrill in God’s power?


Prophetic Declaration:

I am a woman of power, purpose, and presence. The Spirit of the Living God fills me with fire. I will not shrink. I will not hide. I will live boldly, speak prophetically, and move fearlessly. I am thrilling in the power of the Most High God. My Jericho has fallen, and now I rise in authority, clothed in divine strength!


Final Encouragement:

Thrilling in power doesn’t mean life gets easier. It means you become stronger. It means you stop being intimidated and start being intentional.

You are not powerless.
You are not timid.
You are not forgotten.

You are anointed, appointed, and armed.

So go ahead, sis—thrill in the power God has given you. Use it. Enjoy it. Multiply it.

This is your season to walk in fire, roar in faith, and advance the kingdom.
