Rising in Grace- Empowering Spiritual Movements Through Truth and Strength

Empowered by Grace- A Journey of Spiritual Movement

Opening Prayer-

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, asking for Your grace to fill this space. May Your Spirit move freely among us, guiding us as we seek empowerment, wisdom, and understanding. Let Your Word be a light, showing us the path to spiritual growth, empowerment, and movement toward Your divine purpose. May we embrace the calling You have placed on our lives and walk boldly in the movement of Your love. In Yahusha’s name we pray, Halaleyah

It was a quiet morning in the heart of the city. In a small church at the corner of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, Sister Rosa sat by the window, reflecting on the journey that had brought her here. She had come a long way, through the struggles of her past and the many challenges of the present. But now, as she gazed out, something new stirred in her heart. A sense of empowerment, a realization that this moment, this place, was part of something greater. She felt as though the Spirit of Yahusha was calling her to lead. To move. To guide others into the light of spiritual awakening.

Her thoughts turned to the story of the (Shemoth)-Exodus. When the children of Israel were freed from the slavery of Mitsrayim (Egypt), it was not just a physical release, but a spiritual one. They were called to rise up, to move toward a new life, empowered by the grace of Yahusha. In the same way, we are called to rise and move forward, not as victims of our circumstances, but as victors in the grace and power of Yahusha.

Scripture Reading-

Halaleyah Scriptures- Shemot (Exodus) 3:7-10

"And YAHUSHA said, 'I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Mitsrayim, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Mitsrites, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey... Come now, I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring My people, the children of Yisrael, out of Mitsrayim.'"

KJV- Exodus 3:7-10

"And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey... Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

Just like the children of Israel, Sister Rosa realized that Yahusha was calling her to lead, not just to escape, but to build a movement. To empower others to move out of the oppression of their circumstances and into the freedom and abundant life He had promised.

Empowered by Grace- A New Movement

But how? How could one person, even with faith, stand up to the giants of this world? How could Sister Rosa, who had faced struggles all her life, lead others toward empowerment and freedom?

She thought back to the laws of her ancestors—the Kemetic laws, which emphasized balance, truth, and justice. These laws aligned deeply with the spirit of Yahusha’s Word, guiding us to live in harmony with one another and the Creator.

One law stood out* Maat — the law of truth and justice. The Kemetic teachings tell us that we must live in truth to move forward. Just as Yahusha called Moshe (Moses) to bring His people into the truth of their identity, we, too, are called to live in truth. The truth of who we are in Yahusha. The truth of our divine calling.

In this truth, we find empowerment. Just as the children of Israel had to walk in faith, step by step, toward their promised land, we must move in faith, step by step, toward our own spiritual empowerment.

Scripture Reflection*

Halaleyah Scriptures- Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 40:29-31

"He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on YAHUSHA shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

KJV -Isaiah 40:29-31

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

This is the power of spiritual movement* those who wait upon Yahusha, who trust in His Word, shall find themselves empowered. We are not called to walk in weakness, but to run, to soar, to move with purpose and strength. The grace of Yahusha gives us the energy, the wisdom, and the ability to move forward in His will.

The Call to Lead and Empower Others

Sister Rosa now felt her heart burning with purpose. She knew the world was full of challenges, but she also knew that the people were waiting. They were waiting for the grace of Yahusha to empower them. They were waiting for someone to rise up, to lead them with love, compassion, and truth.

She thought about the times she had struggled, feeling weak, feeling like giving up. But now she saw how Yahusha had always been there, empowering her through each step. It was time to help others see that same empowerment.

She took a deep breath and said to herself, “It’s time to move. It’s time to rise. It’s time to lead.”

Closing Scripture-

Halaleyah Scriptures- (Philippiyim) -Philippians 4:13

"I have strength to do all, through Mashiach who empowers me."

KJV- Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Closing Prayer-

Father Yahusha, we thank You for Your empowering grace. We thank You for the strength You give to the faint-hearted and the courage You instill in those who believe. May we walk forward in Your truth, rise above the challenges, and move toward the greater purpose You have called us to. Guide our steps, Yahusha, and empower us to lead others into their own spiritual movement. In the name of Yahusha, we pray, Halaleyah.

As Sister Rosa looked out once more, she knew her journey was just beginning. The movement had started. And through Yahusha's grace, she would lead many into empowerment, truth, and freedom.
