Living as a Complete Heathen
Before a profound transformation, Lisa Bevere described herself as a 'complete heathen,' feeling devoid of any righteousness to present to God. Growing up in a household marked by tension, with her Sicilian father and Anglo mother from broken backgrounds, she often felt she missed God's best due to a lack of faith steps.
God Speaking Directly for First Time
In a pivotal moment, Lisa encountered God's 'radical, all-consuming, fierce love.' She recalls, 'I experienced this love that consumed everything that was trying to unmake me.' It was during this transformative period that God spoke to her for the first time, radically redirecting her life. God's words to her were, 'Lisa, who you are to me is more important than anything you will do for me. You are first and foremost, my daughter.' This divine encounter marked a new beginning in her relationship with God, where she felt God speaking to her personally.
From Broken to Ministry Leader
Following this transformation, Lisa became a globally recognized ministry leader, co-founding Messenger International with her husband, John. She emerged as a sought-after speaker and bestselling author, penning impactful books like 'Strong,' 'Out of Control and Loving It,' and 'Without Rival.' Her mission is clear: to empower women to embrace their identity as daughters of the Most High.
Living with Divine Courage
Lisa emphasizes the importance of living with courage, explaining, 'Courage that will last comes from God...it comes by surrendering our entire life to Jesus.' She encourages others to 'stop sitting, stop whining, stop complaining and start prophesying,' to speak into the future rather than dwell on the past or present. Through her ministry, Lisa continues to inspire women and men alike to stand strong in their divine identity and calling, giving glory to Jesus for the transformation in her life.
