I know what it feels like to walk into a room where people are talking, and the moment they notice you, their voices get quiet. Suddenly, all eyes are on you, and you see people leaning over to whisper to one another. I remember thinking, “Why does my presence cause this reaction?” Sadly, instead of understanding God’s purpose for my life, I listened to negative thoughts that made me question myself rather than recognize the divine reason God created me.

You may have experienced intimidation from church leaders who misused their authority to control or pressure you in unhealthy ways. Or maybe you face intimidation at work from HR managers or coworkers, causing you to fear possible consequences.

This guide shares seven powerful and practical steps to help you overcome intimidation and walk confidently in God’s purpose. It will help you understand why God’s presence in you may cause others to react this way.

Each step includes a practical exercise designed to help you break free from self-imposed limits created by the spirit of intimidation. You will also find excerpts from my best-selling book, Apostolic Women Birthing Nations: A 21st Century Guide for 21st Century Ministry, which is part of the required reading for students at my online school, The Ambassadors School for Apostolic Women Birthing Nations. These insights will encourage and strengthen you on your journey.
