I have to share this for women reading my blog. This information is so helpful and I find her words to be spot on. May you all be blessed by this.

So many of us women need to hear this. We’ve been deceitfully captured for far too long by the idea of lifting up self that we tend to now lean towards believing that if we deny ourselves then we will be blaspheming the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives to make us Christ-like and standing firm in our “identity” in Christ. Too often in modern churches our identity in Christ overrides the focus of Christ. We need to understand the difference between lifting up “me, me, me” and lifting up The Lord. In the WOF and Charismatic groups the difference between justification and sanctification and glorification is not talked about and on the rare occasion it is mentioned, no real understanding comes from the mentioning of these words. Now granted, sanctification is a work of God and no less a work of God than justification and glorification. However we tend to put ourselves above Christ and promote ourselves above Christ.
