For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.... The whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Romans 8:19, 22, NIV

THE EARTH IS groaning. Can you hear it? Issue upon issue. Crisis upon crisis. Disunity, dishonor, and disrespect. Addiction, murder, and suicide. Depression, anger, and bitterness. Fear, worry, and discontent. Epidemics of the heart, mind, soul, and body threaten the fabric of Gods creation.

Who has the answers? Where are the children of God who will lead the next movement to find them? Who will lead the next move of God? Who will lead the next move to end inequality among races and genders? Who will step forward and end poverty, homelessness, and hunger? Who will speak peace and prosperity among the nations? Who will deliver the word of the Lord and bring healing? Who will mend broken hearts? Who will love the unlovable? Who will liberate the oppressed? Who will bring joy where there is heaviness?

The earth is groaning. Can you hear it?

The Lord has been speaking to me about a company of women arising with answers in their belly. The books I have been writing for the last several years highlighting outstanding women in the Bible have been an outpouring of the revelations God has been giving me about the unique and unsubstitutable impact of women who know their purpose and destiny, know how to discern the times and seasons, and are activated, unified, and supported in their missions.

I am confident of this: God made no mistake in creating women with the ability to give birth to the answers our world is hungering and thirsting for. He made it so not only would we give birth, but we would also do it in due season, in the fullness of time. God is an on-time God, and He delivers on His promises at the right timenot too early and not too late. His promises to deliver, heal, increase, and bring peace and salvation are fulfilled through us in two ways:

1. The natural/physical/generational birthYou could be raising the next generation of world changers. Your natural children and your childrens children could be the answers.

2. The birth of your dream/purpose/destinyThe thing that God has put on your heart to do could be the thing that changes the world: books, businesses, ideas, cures, and other innovations.

There Are No Limits on Your Fruitfulness

Some of us are so used to being limited by man that I bet you looked at those two items and began to think of which way God wants to deliver His promised seed through you. Well, I am here to tell you that you dont have to choose which way you will be fruitful. Both are part of the essence of who you are, and women are created to do both with style and grace. The tricky part comes in managing them effectively by discerning and responding to Gods plan within Gods perfect time and being confident in who you are.

If you are insecure and lack confidence in the areas where you are called to reproduce, people inside and outside the kingdom of God will cause you to think that you have to choose one or the other, that you cannot have all that God has promised. People are quick to offer their opinions and impose their convictions on what they think your call should look like. It is important for Hannahs to remain focused and confident in God and His promises to them so they are not distracted by the multitude of voices that could lead to doubt. They must be willing to think outside the box of culture and know that in God there are no limits. We are anointed to be fruitful and to multiply in all areas of life.

Look at the women who went before you. Some of them gave birth to natural children, spiritual children, and culture-shifting movements simultaneously. Some did one or another. Some you know well; others are everyday women whose names are not mentioned in history. Look at Noahs mother. We dont know her name, but we know she gave birth to and raised the only man alive who feared God at that time and was counted as righteous. (See Genesis 6.) By faith he built the ark and saved the human race from being annihilated by the wrath and judgment of God (Heb. 11:7). Abrahams mother, who is also unnamed, gave birth to the father of many nations. God blessed Abraham and promised to bless us and all the nations of the earth through his seed. (See Genesis 17; 22:18.)
