CONFERENCE ARM & A WORD FROM THE LORD
Saturday – May 16, 2020, Iyar 22, 5780
Greetings and welcome to all the precious saints of God who follow this blog. If you have been following these teachings and have not yet made Christ Jesus your Lord (the one from whom we receive instruction) and your Savior (the One through whom eternal life comes) do so right now. Even if these were not uncertain times (really not a new thing) it is always a good time to submit our lives to Christ Jesus. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to give us feedback but more importantly it will increase the reach of this Ministry.
FIRST A WORD FROM THE LORD. If you are somehow thinking that what we are seeing and have been seeing since early March is a once in a lifetime deal and we will soon be back to business as usual, you would be very wrong. That is not to say there will not be periods of tranquility, perhaps even a few years at a time but there is now a shaking that will not stop. The shaking is a cry from Heaven for His Church to repent and occupy the Promised Land with a huge harvest before the Catching Away and the awful Tribulation to follow. Sadly the “traditional Church” will not repent but God is merciful and yearns for His people. There is a “remnant arising” however that will do all the will of God, who have a heart after God, and will do all the things Jesus did and the greater things and then the end will come (Catching Away). Let the Lord say of us like King David that we are men and women after the heart of God (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22). This is written by revelation of God.
Before I move into discussing the Conference Arm of this Ministry, I want us to take a look at the Bible Numerology of the references above regarding having a heart after God’s own heart. A very telling aspect of both references is the number thirteen. Thirteen is the number of depravity (corruption and degeneracy has been brought into the Word of God) and rebellion (lack of compliance with the Word of God because they do not know the Word of God). God through me is not talking to or about the world but to the Church! Let’s get our minds off what the world needs to do and instead judge ourselves, repent, and be that people who have left depravity and rebellion behind and have a heart to pursue the heart of God. 1st Samuel is the ninth book of the Old Covenant the number of spiritual perfection. Fourteen is the number of deliverance and salvation. Acts is the fifth book of the New Covenant meaning the grace and glory of God. Finally, number twenty-two is the number of light, the Anointed Word of God causing darkness to flee. Putting all this together we see the light (Anointed Pure Word) showing the way out of depravity and rebellion into His deliverance, His salvation, with the fulness of Grace and Glory operating in our lives. Thank you, Jesus!
Now, let’s take a few minutes and talk about the Conference Arm of this Ministry. Last October (2019) while on a visit to Texas a conversation by the Anointing God arose between Donna and Denise Stiewig about a women’s conference and soon involved all four of us. This was the seed that has been growing in our hearts especially Donna’s (but also mine) and in Denise’s (and her husband Jeff) heart as well. She is to be the first speaker at the first conference. The initial idea was for a Women’s Conference and has grown to embrace conferences of all types (men’s and couples) in the future. It is in our heart to do these conferences with excellence like our Lord is excellent. This not so we can say that our conference is better than someone else’s but that it reflects the excellence of the Lord. We want (the Lord wants) the people attending to be confident that the Anointing is flowing and God will minister to each one who seeks Him.
We had planned a Women’s Conference for the 30th of May 2020 at the New Beginnings Church of God which we had to cancel due to the Coronavirus quarantine. Although the conference was to be hosted by a Church of God this was and is not a Church of God outreach but is to embrace all Christians and non-Christians. The theme of that conference was to be “The Virtuous Woman” taken from Proverbs 31:10-12. Needless to say, we need virtuous men and virtuous couples as well. Celebrate Jesus Church of God was also a co-host. Personally, I like conferences for couples. In this way the husband hears about the Biblical role of the wife and the wife the Biblical role of the husband and they don’t have to guess about or presume what it might be. They hear, learn, and grow together. This Conference Arm is to minister to both men and women about the stuff of life. Donna and others have a heart to minister to women and give men the women’s perspective of divorce and visa versa (man’s view). Also, there are many widows and widowers in the body of Christ that need ministry.
The canceled Women’s Conference will be rescheduled. We are thinking the end of September or early October 2020 and we have invited the same speaker. We are looking at an independent site for the rescheduled conference, perhaps a hotel with pool and spa facilities. We are also looking for financial partners and laborers. If you are called of God to this area of Ministry please be in touch with Donna at the very earliest time. All of this requires resources (money) and laborers (people called of God with gifts and talents in this area).
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
