GRMI Ladies Ministry has adopted a new moniker . . . Divine Divas. They are mighty women of God who live what they believe. Their motto is “we are strong enough to be led.” These women not only love their Lord, but they openly and freely give their love to their men, children, families, and people...saved or not. Our women are not afraid to laugh out loud, cry out loud, learn with passion, love hard, or grow while grounded in the word of the Lord.

Led by one of the most dynamic, passionate and vivacious women of God, Pastor Debra Armand, the Divine Divas meet quarterly at their “Sister to Sista’” events that strive to empower a woman to be the best that God has created her to be. Witness this uplifting excerpt on forgiveness posted by Pastor Debra:

“...I want to remind you that forgiveness is the Key that unlocks the power of the Lord in your life. I know it’s hard and it hurts, but forgiveness is not an emotion, it’s a choice. It’s not an event, it’s a lifestyle. Does Christ forgive you every-day? Did he wait until He “felt” like going to the cross to die for your sins? The Bible tells us in Romans 5:8 that while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Yes, while we were out there in the world getting our “freak on,” “shaking our groove thang,” laying on defiled beds, seeking our careers first, building our own kingdoms and not wanting anything to do with Jesus, He died for us. Praise His name!”

“ . . . Because of His Love . . . choose to forgive those who used you . . . those who misused you . . . those who’ve talked about you . . . cheated on you...walked out on you . . . and forgive those who have done all manner of evil against you. Watch the power of God release you!!!”

“Lastly, forgive yourselves. You are fallible . . . You have messed up, and you will mess up again. A forgiving person is a loving person. A person who walks in God’s grace will give grace to others.”

“You are God’s Devine Divas!”
