The conference that changed my life!
April 29th and 30th of this year was the Sound the Alarm Conference put on by the Orlando House of Prayer. It was an amazing conference featuring Todd White and George Sotolongo. Interestingly, it wasa day after a Pinky Promise meeting and everything discussed on Friday night was just a more in depth version of Pinky Promise meeting. I knew that I was going to receive something great, I even wrote in my journal "God is going to use this conference to wipe out every feeling of pain and hopelessness that I've ever felt when He drowns me in His presence". I knew it was all going to be about being intentional and that if I really wanted to have a connection with the triune God I would have to be intentional about it.
For those of you who do not know Todd White I suggest you look him up, he looks like this:
He is a powerful speaker and He helps clarify some of the things God has been trying to tell you that maybe you didn't understand. On Friday he spoke about something we have all heard time and time again, being born again. But most of the time, people say being born again is where it ends, they just talk about how important it is. But he said, "Being born again is essential but it's to unlock your potential." We have to be born again but it just another step. Once we are born again, we can do more. We have a closer relationship with the Father, we can do everything and more that Jesus did. We have spiritual gifts waiting to be released on the inside of us and therefore we don't have to covet other people's spiritual gifts. We were all meant to do something different and that means we have different talents. If necessary, go take a spiritual gifts test, they actually do help.
The important thing is to not practice orphan prophecy- gaining identity in what you do instead of what God did for you. We are meant to use our gifts to terrorize the devil. Everyday. And don't believe that because you can perform miracles or do other things that you are right with God. God can work through anybody and everybody even those who aren't spiritually sound. Matthew 11:28 is just the beginning of a Christian life, it's not the end.
Todd mentioned hat we cannot be just without faith and that, like I've mentioned before in other posts that we should not do, we should be. Eternal life is knowing God and we as His chosen people, His children should love this one simple fact: we are loved by Him. And that means that we should manifest OUR Father wherever we go.
Manifesting God= Radical Forgiveness + Radical Mercy.
Forgive those we wrong you and show mercy to those who you believe do not deserve it. It'll be hard, how do you do it? Fill yourself with the truth of God's Word. Burn. Be on fire for Jesus. Obey your convictions because you are completely forgiven. All those sins? Gone.
This is just the beginning. One small part of one day of the conference. If you have questions ask, comments and social criticisms are also welcome.
