Living a Royal Reality


Book Description

Living a Royal Reality is not about living a fairytale life or pretending that life is perfect. The fact is, for many of us, our reality has truly been scarred by our life's experiences and choices. This book was written to empower and enlighten women that through the blood of Jesus Christ, we are Royalties (co-heirs with Christ, Daughters of the King, Chosen by God, Living by Grace). As Royalties, we have access and dominion over everything that JESUS CHRIST has dominion over, which includes our realities. These also include strongholds, fear, sickness, depression, brokenness, poverty, rape, abuse, abandonment etc. As women, these are only a few of the 'realities' we deal with daily. As Royalties, we have been given authority to live as more than conquerors, overcomers and true victors over these 'realities'. This book will enlighten and inspire you to: - Be the best you God has called you to be - Be confident in your true identity - Discover and know your worth - Live a purpose-driven life - Be set apart and adopt God's standards - Prepare for eternity
