Women's Ministry

The purpose of women's ministries at Timber Lake Christian Church is to help women draw closer to God and mature in their faith; build fellowship among women while encouraging one another; and to provide women opportunities for ministry and outreach. TLCC Women's Ministries is under the guidance of the TLCC Ministry Team and the Elders, and is led by Regina Green, Rhonda Dunham, Penny Glover and Priscilla Mehaffy. For more information about Timber Lake Christian Church Women's Ministries, contact the Ministry Team at priscilla.mehaffy@brickgentrylaw.com.

Unity through Humility - DLT
WINTER TEA CANCELLED!!!!!!!

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose.

Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing. Philippians 2:1-4

The TLCC Ladies Winter Tea will not be held this year. The Women's Ministry Team has a new, exciting special Spring event in the making to CELEBRATE the 5th anniversary of TLCC Women's Ministries!

If you would like to be involved in helping with this Spring production, please notify one of the leaders. Thank you ahead of time.

The Devil is in My Face!
(from http://blogs.lifeway.com/blog/women-ministry 2009/11)

What is it about stepping out in commitment to Christ that draws a huge target on our chests for the enemy to begin pounding on us? Somewhere in the mid 80’s my husband and I surrendered to ministry, not having a clue what that meant. We felt sure that is what God told us to do after my serving in a part time ministry position with our church in Texas and both of us having gone on overseas mission trips. We actually felt like God has called my husband into full time ministry so he went to seminary. But we made it public and there the story truly begins….

Almost immediately we faced road blocks and discouragement. We began to question the call. But as we continued to pray, we felt like we’d truly heard and must respond and that it was the enemy who was making us doubt, not God.

Did it get easier, no! Harder! First of all small things happened, my husband lost his job, lost his company car with the job, most of our appliances were falling apart (we’d been married about 15 years so it was time for them all to wear out at the same time!), and our car fell apart. My mom would call me and ask, “well, what broke today?”. It got to be somewhat funny and painful all at the same time. Then we began having a family relationship issue that was so very painful. The enemy tried to take our possession, when that didn’t defeat us he began to work on our family. But God….

If not for His power and strength, we’d have given up many times a long time ago! But He provided all we needed continually. For eight months we had no income (except for a small stipend I received from my church for my position there). Not once did we do without food or clothing, and we always paid our bills. I can’t tell you how that happened. As I tried to put it on paper, income and outgo did not match up. God told me to stop trying to figure it out, just trust Him. It was a huge stretching time for us spiritually, but it was very difficult to stand strong in the face of the devil daily. I remember actually digging my heals into the carpet and saying, “I refuse to allow the enemy to have victory!”. And some days, that’s all I had to make it through the day. Luke 4: 8 goes well here: “Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” (KJV) But God….

How powerful He is. We know He’s more powerful than the devil. We read in 1 John 4:4, “You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them {evil spirits}, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. “ Do we really believe that? If so, DIG YOUR HEELS IN! Do not allow the enemy victory in your life, your day, your heart.” (HCSB)

Our job it to know Him, follow Him and obey Him. God’s job is to fight the enemy. He told the Israelites this in Deuteronomy 28:1, 7, “Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth. The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions.” (HCSB)

Pretty powerful commander we have! I love what Beth Moore says in Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman. “Some of us with little previous battle experience have no idea why God is allowing us to go through such difficult times in a place we thought was His will. He’s trying to make warriors out of us, Girlfriend! Rise to the occasion! But we aren’t meant to fight unseen forces alone. You and I have the God-given right to lock arms with our sisters and brothers in Christ and defend ourselves with the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith. Here’s the best part: When we do, we are guaranteed the victory. I said guaranteed.”

We gain more strength by understanding Deuteronomy 31: 8, “The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” (HCSB) The best part as a Christian is that we never fight the enemy alone! We have the best army there is, God leading, Christian sisters alongside us.

When you are struggling, be willing to reach out to those around you for prayer and guidance. More than once I’ve called my accountability partner to pray as the attacks became obvious and it dawned on me, it wasn’t just a “bad day”. It was Satan in my face! Outright spiritual warfare. We have to recognized it and face it in His strength.
