Owning God’s Word – The Power of Application

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” – James 1:22

At DuHope, we believe in the power of God’s Word—not just as something to be heard, but as something to be lived. Scripture is more than a collection of stories; it is God’s blueprint for our lives.

The women we serve come from incredibly difficult backgrounds, often carrying burdens of trauma, poverty, and shame. But through the study and application of Scripture, their lives are being transformed. They are learning that they are loved, valued, and created for a purpose. They are taking bold steps in faith—starting businesses, rebuilding families, and growing in spiritual confidence.

Owning Her Faith: Denyse’s Journey in God’s Word

Bible studies and daily devotions at DuHope have reignited Denyse’s passion for God’s Word. They remind her of the lessons she once learned at church, but now, she is taking them to heart in a new way. Denyse understands that knowing about God is not enough—she desires a personal relationship with Him.

"Learning about God is important, but having a relationship with Him matters most."

As she engages with Scripture, she is learning to apply its truths to her life. She deeply appreciates the staff’s efforts to help her grow in understanding, and she is determined to make God’s Word her own. Denyse is trusting Him for healing from past traumas. She has found the grace to forgive her sister, but she knows her journey toward full healing is still ongoing. Through it all, she is holding onto God’s promises, believing that His Word will transform her from the inside out.

Owning God’s Word means allowing it to shape how we think, speak, and act. It means stepping out in faith even when it’s difficult. It means choosing forgiveness, pursuing justice, and loving boldly.

How can you take ownership of God’s Word today? Maybe it’s reaching out to someone in need, choosing integrity in your work, or trusting God with your next step. Whatever it is, don’t just hear the Word—live it.
