Our recent Destiny Women’s Retreat, held in Kerrville, Texas, was a time of relaxation, refreshing and renewal. The theme “Bloom” was highlighted throughout the life lessons taught by speakers Jodi Bell and Cynthia Vela of Destiny. The hearts of women were prepared to receive the supernatural and practical teachings. The Garden of Eden was the setting for the life lesson presented by Jodi Bell. The woman uniquely designed by God, the essential nature of the woman, and the new life in fulfilling her God-given call were all biblical principles highlighted on Friday evening.
With such compassion, Jodi reminded the women that they must believe what God says about them. As women, we are life-givers, nurturers, and companions. We must “bloom” in these elements regardless of our age or season. As hearts received these truths, lives were changed.
On Saturday, Cynthia took us back to a familiar setting, the Garden of Eden. She taught that while Eve may have thought that she would gain much by partaking of the forbidden fruit, she actually lost much. She lost her will to agree with the Word of God by focusing on her own will. Eve chose to agree with the will of the devil and disagree with the will of God.
We must be free to agree with God’s Word. It is in that agreement, that we can “bloom” and flourish in the garden of life. It is being rooted and grounded in love that enables us to
be filled with the fullness of God as declared in God’s Word. (Ephesians 3:17-18)
Referring to the garden of our life, those good roots being grounded in love, will produce good fruits. The fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians. Our lives filled with these fruits and their beautiful fragrance will glorify the Lord. The heart of every woman was challenged to live life as a beautiful garden that glorifies the Lord.
