Back in October I blogged a little bit about a confrence that we hosted at the AIM offices here in Ganesville, GA. Well, the time has come again. We will be hosting the next conference on March 27-30th. Break thru conference is about growing closer to the Lord and allowing Him to reveal the things that may be holding you back from a deeper and closer relationship with Him. There will be great speakers and great worship. If you are interested, I encourage you to look into it.
I had an awesome experience last time and I hope the same for you!
Excerpt from the last Break Thru conference:
The weekend got into full swing as the BreakThru conference happened. We had some amazing messages from Ron Walborn, the dean at Nyack college in New York on things like identity, the church today and the Holy Spirit. We also had worship services at night. It was wonderful. This weekend I was encouraged to be a participant, not an intern. So I assumed the role as such. Showed up to the sessions and asked God to show me what He needed me to. Problem was….I didn’t think there was anything left to show me. Since I’ve been here….all I’ve been doing is Breaking through! Constantly learningabout myself and about Him….how much more is there to break thru! haha.
Sunday comes around and I’m told we will be greiving. Greiving? Over what? I have no clue what they are talking about…ok whatever I’ll be open. Wanda(Ron’s Wife) starts talking about Greiving the hurts in our lives and letting God completley work through them. Allowing ourselves to be sad and feel those things that may be so deeply within us that we can’t even see them anymore….we’re numb to them. We get to this park and are told to take the next 2 hours to be alone with God. “Ok,” I thought, “I can handle some good Jesus time.” So I off I went to a secluded open patch of grass where I sat and journaled. Writing out past hurts/instances and praying that God would show me areas where there is still hurt or I need to give over to Him or whatever!
So at the park I got up and walked around, I got to the lake. I stood there and thought and prayed and prayed and thought and felt that God wanted to bring me to a place of surrender, and of openness and giving up control, to take me to the next level He has for me and He wants to take me there if I just let Him. I continued to pray. God I feel like you are calling me to action! I don’t know what that means but I think it’s some kind of action. And then….this calm beautiful lake started to ripple, started to move, started to become active out of nowhere. No boats, no animals in the water…the water just decided to pick up at that moment.
I get it. It’s time to work through some stuff…time to get rid of somethings that have kept me silent and have stifeled me and kept me “calm” and let God work. So here goes!
It’s so exciting to see that the things the Lord stirred in me even then, 5 months ago, are being displayed in my life now. What things do you need to surrender to the Lord? Is He challenging you to something deeper? Come to the Breakthru conference and find out.
