Jacqueline Bryony Lucy is known around the world as Jackie Pullinger. She was only 22 years old when she stepped into one of the darkest places on earth. Fresh out of college and unsure of her future, Jackie planned to serve in Africa. But one night she had a vivid dream that redirected her entire life. In that dream, she sensed the Lord urging her, “Go to Hong Kong.”
Obeying the nudge of the Holy Spirit, Jackie boarded a ship and arrived in Hong Kong in 1966 with little more than a suitcase and a fierce determination to obey God. But nothing could have prepared her for what she found.
Her ministry began in the notorious Kowloon Walled City—a place so overcrowded that sunlight could barely touch the streets. It was called “The City of Darkness” for a reason. Crime ruled the city. Triad gangs controlled everything. Heroin addiction destroyed lives daily. Police officers rarely entered there..
Yet Jackie walked in there and opened a small youth center. She sat with addicts, fed the homeless, and shared the hope of Jesus with gang members. Slowly, miracles began happening. Hardened young men encountered God. Addicts were set free. Gang leaders surrendered their knives and drugs at her door.
Those early seeds of courage grew into St. Stephen’s Society, an organization still rescuing and rehabilitating hundreds of youth today. Jackie Pullinger’s journey—told in her classic book Chasing the Dragon—remains one of the most powerful examples of what God can do through one person who chooses to be strong and courageous.

Jackie’s story proves a powerful truth:
When God calls you, He equips you with supernatural courage to overcome unimaginable battles.
To fulfill God’s purpose for your life you must embrace courage born from the Word. Fear is designed to keep God’s people from entering their promised land. That was why God told Joshua repeatedly, “Be strong and courageous…”.
The giants in your path are not signs to retreat; they are indicators that you are standing at the border of your promised land.
Like Jackie Pullinger, you may find yourself facing intimidating challenges, but always remember that the God who sent you is the God who goes with you. His presence is your confidence. His Word is your strength. His Spirit is your courage.
Courage does not mean the absence of fear; it means moving forward despite fear because you trust the One who walks beside you.
In this final stretch of the year, refuse to bow to fear or discouragement.
Every time you meditate on the Word, your inner man becomes bold.
Every time you take a faith-step, God takes a miracle-step.
Every time you worship, heaven reinforces your strength.
If you will rise with courage and take hold of what God said is yours, you will finish this year in victory, fulfillment, and undeniable glory.

PRAYER
Lord, please strengthen my heart with Your Word and fill me with supernatural courage to take bold steps of faith to possess everything You have ordained for me this year. I declare I am strong, fearless, and empowered to break forth on every side, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
