Super Hero Movies have never been able to capture my attention, yet yesterday I watched Spider Man II with my youngest son and his friend. Although Spider Man had amazing spider-like abilities, he had two people in his life to encourage, edify, and empower him to believe in himself. It is no coincidence these two people were women. My husband joined me for the later part of the movie and as Spider Man’s friend confirmed her love and commitment to him, Spider Man appeared to make even greater leaps from building to building. My husband commented on the power and influence women have over men. It’s funny how men recognize the power women possess, yet we have to be reminded of the power within us. Spider Man has nothing on us! We have the Spirit of God! We have the power to influence young minds, change the atmosphere in our homes, and empower our husbands to be all they were created to be. We have the power to lead others to Christ and to make a difference in the lives of many. Mothers truly hold the supernatural power to change the Nation! Even the enemy knows the power we possess, which is why we are constantly under attack – Satan will try everything to strip us of our power. At one point in the movie, Spider Man felt defeated, yet he was empowered by encouraging words. When we feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated, we can reconnect to our power source. The key is to never become disconnected! Continually feeding our hearts and minds with God’s Word fuels us with the supernatural power we need to be mentoring moms, supportive helpmates, and influential women of God. We have the power to work in the name of Jesus!
Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”
