CONFERENCE REPORT FOR:
The International L.O.V.E. Club Spiritual Growth Conference
- October 25-26, 2002
Now More Than Ever....
The local Naperville group did such a wonderful job of organizing
and hosting us. I thank you again ladies, very much!!! We got
to hug some necks, meet some new people, see some hidden faces...and
next time I am going to add our email addresses to our name tags
along with our names!!! Oh, the adaptations that technology is
causing us to make in our lives!!!
We had an awesome time of sharing the word of God. The message
that the Lord had me bring is one of urgency in the spirit. He
is calling us to be aware of the times and season in which we
live. He wants us to be prepared for the things to come and He
is very serious about us living a holy life before Him and the
world.
He has been birthing and adding to this message since 9-11. Now
More Than Ever...we must get to know our God, we must learn how
to come into His presence and be changed so that we can bring
His light and love to the world. Now More than Ever, we must be
prepared so that we can partner with Him in prayer and service.
It is God's desire for us to each be walking in our calling -
moving out into the purposes and plans of God for our lives. It
is a serious thing to squander the gifts and talents He has given
us. And when we are not obedient, the whole body of Christ suffers.
He is calling us to an intimate and personal relationship with
Him that is characterized by obedience to His every word. All
for Jesus for all eternity. He imparted an eternal perspective
to our hearts, that makes every moment and every thought and word
eternally significant.
Our dear sister, Purity, was able to make it in from Kenya. What
a pleasure and a pleasant surprise. Her being able to get her
VISA and an airplane ticket at the last minute was truly a miracle.
She shared about her country, her life and the needs of the people
in Kenya. Please pray for them and for the government. They so
desire to be more free to worship the Lord. Purity prayed for
us in her native tongue and we all were blessed by her spirit.
Terry McIntosh, from Boston, our intercessory team leader came
in for the whole week that I was there. She is a jewel and we
all are very fortunate to have her on our team. She can pray up
a storm and pray in the peace of God, both!!! Terry shared a wonderful
teaching on prayer that the Lord gave her. P - Prioritizing -
making prayer our first priority every day. R - Relationship -
the importance of developing intimacy with the Lord. A - Action
- answering His call to intercede. Y - yielding - praying with
faith/believing and expecting prayer will bring a yield.
Joy Yeager, from Pennsylvania, shared from one of her books called
"Sow What?" a great check list on how we can discern
if we are truly living a Christian life. She mentioned several
areas where we tend to fall short (sin) such as gossip, pride,
unforgiveness, jealousy, judgementalism...ouch! Then she asked
us, "What will you be remembered for in your lifetime?"
She also blessed us with several songs that just perfectly tied
in with the messages the Lord was bringing to us.
Rynessa Oliverio, from Washington, shared some thoughts on communion.
Beautiful revelations from the Lord about covenant and the marriage
relationship and how when we receive the Lord's supper and remember
Him through it, we are committing to that covenant relationship
the we have with Him. It really brought a deeper meaning to the
intimacy of the act of sharing in communion. And the focus on
the Body of Christ that we are all part of - in unity of purpose
with Him - brought true fellowship amongst us as we worshipped
our Lord together and served one another the elements of bread
and juice which symbolize the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus
Christ.
Hap Wysocki, who came with me from Arizona, is the head of the
King's Daughter's Ministries. Hap presented in drama, several
women from the scriptures. She was the Prophetess from Israel
sharing a word from God about our times and seasons. She was the
woman with the issue of blood that was healed with one touch of
the Master's garment. She was Mary Magdaline who had been the
first to see Jesus, and the first to be commissioned by our Lord,
to go and tell....she very pointedly asked, "Have you seen
Jesus?"
And of course, we were totally blessed by the "Signs of
The Heart Choir" led by Beverly McKeen and assisted by Michelle
Kanis. They were accompanied by two very special young women...Louise
and Katie (she is 14). We were lifted up to new dimensions of
worship as we watched their sign language and movement carry us
into the presence of God. And we also had the wonderful opportunity
of learning to do some simple worship signs ourselves. We all
moved into a new level of freedom as we concluded our workshop
with the song "Shackles" by Mary Mary...We did "get
loose" and had fun!!!
Our two worship team members Denise Mikkelsen and Lisa Davidson
were just so precious. And we all were able to experience new
depths of the presence of God as the anointing of the intimate
presence of Jesus and His love filled our hearts.
God truly came to meet us in this place. He is so faithful to
show up when there are hungry hearts for Him. I know that many
were touched and deep areas of hurt were healed and the Lord gave
new freedom to some in place of bondage, new hope in place of
despair, new vision in place of purposelessness. We all came away
more full of the LOVE and power of God through the Holy Spirit,
and were truly changed in a permanent way.
If you are interested in receiving tapes of the meetings, please
write to me personally and I will send you information on how
to do that.
Also, my prayer for you is that you receive all the blessings
of the Lord that were poured out upon us. God desires to touch
you in the same way. May you receive directly from His hand...
L.O.V.E.,
Patty
