Exousia Prophetic Wellness

exousia
(ex-oo-SEE-ah) Greek for authority: the power to act that is given by another. It is the word behind Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power…”

Equipped in spirit. Strong in body. Joined in purpose.

Exousia is one ministry with three expressions: training for those called to teach, preach and lead; faith-based wellness for churches, families and seniors; and Women of Destiny, a network for women ready to take their place.

“A threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
