Because of Jesus ministries is based on Connie Witter’s Bible study “Because of Jesus.” In it she teaches women how to see themselves the way God sees them because of what Jesus has done. She helps them to see Jesus in every verse of Proverbs 31. She takes them through every area of their lives including, their relationship with God, their soul, their marriage, their children, their families, their personal gifts and talents, their finances, their health, their homes, and their ministry and teaches them how to keep their eyes on Jesus and the promises they have in Him.

The truth found in the Bible study “Because of Jesus” has changed ladies lives all over the country. Realizing that Jesus has made them righteous and perfect in God’s sight has brought joy and peace to their hearts. Their testimonies are living proof that Jesus truly came to set the captives free.

This Bible study has helped me leave behind the guilt and frustration of trying to live this life on my own. Truly because of Jesus we have been set free of that and Connie takes you clearly through EVERY area of a woman’s life to show how to apply that and live the purposeful life God created for you.

This is a truly anointed book that is awesome. It is a word that today’s Christian women need, because we get so caught up in the small things and we become disappointed and discouraged and self-absorbed because we are focused on our own abilities and weaknesses and failures. We need to be Jesus focused and know who we are in Him. We are the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31, because of who we are in Jesus and His blood. I highly recommend this book to every Christian woman.

Unlike other books that list 10 steps to whatever you are trying to achieve, this book only has one step and one focus: Keeping your eyes on Jesus. Looking to Him for every answer in every situation is the main emphasis of “Because of Jesus.” It not only has changed my life, but continues to produce changes still today. The one word I would use to describe this study would be “constant” because it will bring constant change, correction, help and encouragement into every area of your life as you look to Jesus.

“Because of Jesus” has been so helpful for me as a mom, wife, and going through the ups and downs of life. It gets to the heart of women- helps us feel good about ourselves because of Jesus. We’ve had some heavy storms and people ask me how I can be so happy and I tell them about this study. It makes me see that I am worthy because of Jesus and He will bring me through everything because He is my one and only.

The Bible study “Because of Jesus” is awesome because our Jesus is awesome! I especially enjoyed the lessons on “The Power of a Praying Mother” and “Believe what God says about your Husband.” The Holy Spirit directed me to purchase 15 more studies to put them in the hands of young mothers. All the answers are contained within the book to help them know who they are in Jesus and the provisions He has made for them. I’m excited about what God is going to do through this study.

First of all, I would like to thank the Holy Spirit for leading me to this class, “Because of Jesus.” It is being taught by my Pastor and at least 50 women from our congregation signed up. I have never been so enthused about a Bible class before. When doing the homework, sometimes I feel like just standing up and shouting and praising the Lord because I can feel the Holy Spirit all around me. Since doing this study, I feel like a brand new person. The lessons continue to remind me to keep my focus on Jesus. I’ve been doing that on many issues of my life and have been seeing gradual changes.

We all want to thank you with very grateful hearts. The insight God gave you has been the most freeing study we have ever done. We now see ourselves as holy, righteous, and innocent as our Lord and Savior sees us. We’re spreading the word down here about this life-changing study. Thank you for sharing with us the freedom we have in Christ.

As “Woman of Virtue” from Livingstones Fellowship of Crown Point, Indiana, we would like to express our deepest appreciation for your book, “Because of Jesus.” Ladies ministry has used this study in our fall classes to teach women how virtuous they already are, something once thought they needed to achieve. Words cannot express the fruit that we have reaped because of those seeds God planted in you to sow into our hearts.

In today’s busy society women have a tendency to feel insignificant, never doing enough, always inadequate. But as I have learned in this Bible study, Jesus sees me as significant. He will help me manage my time wisely. He has already equipped me. God has already made me virtuous in Jesus! I have just finished this 12 week course and I could start it all over again.

Before completing “Because of Jesus.” I could never see myself as anything but a failure. I would read Proverbs 31 and feel that I could never compare- not even come close. To me, it seemed hopeless. I would never be good enough. The Lord has used the teaching in this Bible study to open my eyes and my heart to how he sees me. I cannot begin to express the joy that I now have. My entire life as a wife, mother and grandmother has changed. I am a Proverbs 31 woman. If you could just look into my heart…It’s only through Jesus. Praise you Jesus!!!

Thank God I am free, free, free at last! “Because of Jesus” has helped me realize who I am in Christ. I don’t have to try and keep trying to be good enough or do enough of the right things. Through Jesus, I am already righteous; the healed, the prosperous child of the only true living God. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Connie, for allowing God to use you to help free me.

This Bible study has become a lifestyle for me. I am continually asking God to empower me to see myself and others through the eyes of Jesus. I am out from under the curse of the law and I am living in the light of Jesus.

This Bible Study has not only benefited my life, it’s changed my life! I thank God every day for Connie for helping me realize that I am a Proverbs 31 chick!! And if I keep my eyes focused on Jesus, all things are possible!

This study has been so very timely with the circumstances in my life and my heart’s cry. It has been exactly, day by day, everything God is doing in me and for me. It’s been incredible! I’m so glad I purposed in my heart to make it a priority at this time in my life. It showed me how the spirit of religion is all about works. The song “Only by Grace” has taken on a whole new perspective- what freedom!! “Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand, not by our human endeavors, but by the blood of the Lamb.” What freedom in those words alone! Life is one main factor- to know Jesus in order to trust Jesus. I am having constant fellowship with Him and He has become my vital necessity.

Connie is an awesome, gifted teacher of the Word of God. “Because of Jesus” releases the power of God as women turn their hearts to Jesus. Connie’s passion is to teach the truth of living Proverbs 31 through an abiding, trusting relationship with Jesus Christ. This life-changing study covers every area of a woman’s life, tapping into the unforced rythms of grace. If you have ever struggled with trying to be a godly wife, a godly mother, a good Christian, then enter into His rest of trusting completely and confidently in what Jesus has already done for you through the anointed lessons in this study.

Father God guided me to this study “Because of Jesus” during a time of tribulation in my marriage. Almost giving up on any hope for it, I started to study God’s Word closer than I had ever before. His Word and Love became real to me again. I have a better understanding of who I am in Jesus, and because of that I have confidence and hope that my marriage is healed. Because of Jesus will without a doubt bring you into His glorious light to be transformed forever.

“Because of Jesus” has been such a major source of blessing to me. It got me back to the simple basic truth that Jesus should be the central focus of my life. Without realizing it, I had lost my first love because I was trying so hard to do everything to be a good Christian, instead of making Him the focus of my life, and letting Him work through me. This Bible study is written from a woman’s perspective, not from an ivory tower, and deals with issues that matter most to women- our husbands, homes, families, as well as God’s plan for us as individuals. I can testify personally that Connie has been in the trenches with us, so she knows what she is talking about. But God has used her through this study, to share with us the same insights that helped her go from defeat to victory in every area of her life. I recommend this Bible study to any woman who wants to be blessed by God, to be a blessing, and to fulfill the plan God has for her life.

Over three years ago I began a search for a Bible study that would show me how to be the Proverbs 31 woman. How could I be the Proverbs 31 woman? She seemed so hard to reach, much less become. My heart longed to be what God, my Father, wanted me to be. “Because of Jesus” ended the search. This Bible study has changed my life by teaching me that I am a Proverbs 31 woman because of Jesus. Now I am resting in Him knowing He has placed His very nature in me. God, my Father, created me a righteous and virtuous woman through Christ. I believe every woman, no matter her age, should go through this study and experience the life-changing effect that being a righteous woman in Jesus brings.

“Because of Jesus” got my eyes back on Jesus as my Source, the Author and Finisher of my faith. It opened my eyes to how even godly things like faith and works can become idols in your life. This Bible study has changed my life!

This Bible study has been such a blessing in my life. Its message is one of freedom. My walk with the Lord lacked joy because I was struggling to please God by doing the right thing. But through this study I found that I am already a righteous and virtuous woman in Christ. He is the one who is continually at work within me to will and to do His good pleasure. I’ve learned that as I abide in Jesus and fully put my trust in Him, fruit is a result, and it comes naturally. I highly recommend “Because of Jesus” to any woman desiring a closer walk with the Lord filled with joy and abounding in freedom.

This teaching has been life-changing for me. I have tried to change and be a better Christian for 20 years. I’ve tried praying an hour a day, singing and worshipping every day, listening to teaching tapes every day… but my best efforts to “do” these things have “fallen” by the wayside over and over again! I’m now sharing the Word of God’s grace with everyone I know! Thank you, and thank God for the message of grace!

Connie’s Bible study has changed my life. I now know exactly what people mean when they refer to an “anointed” preacher or message. This study is ordained of God. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to be under this teaching. This teaching not only changes the women doing the study, but the lives of those around them as well.

“Because of Jesus” has helped me pray for my family and replace any doubt I had about what I saw in them with hope that He can bring about His will for their lives. All we are to do is pray and believe what God has already said He will bring to pass. It’s because of Jesus! Phillipians 2:13 says, “it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you (them) energizing and creating in you (them) the power and desire- both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.” I would tell anyone, Connie has taught me it’s all because of Jesus that we can claim these promises for our families.

Although I still need God’s grace to walk this out, no longer can I live my life thinking that I must do things; that I must try to live up to godly standards to qualify for the wonderful blessings that God has for me. I have received a deeper revelation of who I am in Christ (mainly that I am righteous) and my thinking has become completely revolutionized. Everything is because of Jesus! Nothing I do makes me more or less qualified to receive God’s plan for my life. His plan includes complete salvation for my family. It gives me wonderful peace when I think of my husband and my children according to the truths of God’s Word. “Because of Jesus” has given me a real understanding that whoever puts their trust in Jesus is truly righteous- all the conditions of righteousness have been met. Thank you Connie and thank you Jesus!! I need Him more than ever! If you’re tired and frustrated from trying to live up to all that is required of you to live a godly life, do this study. Find God’s wonderful will for your life- what He’s already done for you and those you love- and rest. Come and get a revelation of who Jesus is, what He’s done for you and who you are in Him!
