                   Empower, Equip, Energize

Come up. Reach for the stars. Hold nothing back. Go forth. Be bold. Have 
courage. Take your rightful place. Know that I have gone before you. I 
have equipped you with talents and giftings. Do not bury them. I knit 
you in secret in your mother's womb - do I not know the number of hairs 
on your head? You are designed and fashioned to do My work with 
excellence and enthusiasm.

Lift your vision higher. Divine appointments await. You are more than 
capable. Do not shrink back. Step up. Step out. Permeate! Influence! Ignite.
