Live Update from Equipping the Saints 2010
Blessed be the name of the LORD! While I have the time I wanted to send you all a quick update from Equipping the Saints 2010 ~ Maranatha!
Day 1
The vendors, attendees, and speakers start to pour into the hotel. I always love watching the vendors set up because their displays are so beautiful. This particular hotel has a glass wall separating the lobby from the front desk area, but as soon as you walk in the door, you can't help but notice the pre-function area adorned with beautiful flags, garments and banners.
The evening service opened with a procession led by Rev. Meri Wrest and a group of conference attendees. We witnessed the positioning of the troops as they walked with authority with their instruments: swords, trumpets, flags, and a beautiful scepter. As if that wasn't enough, 4 ministers carried in a huge crown and all bowed before the King of kings.
The ministries presentations went forth with power and authority. Creating an atmosphere for our dynamic speaker Elder David Hollis to deliver the Word.
Elder Hollis brought a mighty word: Even When it STINKS! The word was so captivating that even the children wer enthralled by the picture painted. Get the DVD!
Day 2
Friday started with our Early Will I Seek Thee prayer and morning general session. Minister Rekesha taught a powerful message: LET GOD DO IT. It was an exhortation to stop trying to do things in our own power and might and let God open the doors. The message was timely, accurate, direct, and revelatory.
As the conference host and facilitator, I haven't been able to attend many breakout sessions but I am hearing good reports! Praise God!
Our evening service started with dynamic praise and worship. One of my favorite parts of Equipping the Saints is the congregational praise and worship. It's something awesome about massive movement in unity and we praised and worship together. The flag class led by Lisa Johnson cut through the atmosphere with Waging War. Their was so much authority in the room….as they sliced through the air, shackles began to break…we moved to another level.
Dr. Ann Higgins preached on the gates. What gates are you tending? You want to enter into His gates with thanksgiving, but what gates do you have to pass through first?
Day 3
My assignment today was the general session. The message from the Lord was Strategic Movement. Those that are subscribed to Paneh's newsletter or follow this blog probably noticed that I'll share spiritual truths that Lord has given me through my military experience. That was the focus this morning as we touched on several areas of training.
And that brings us to present. We have one more evening service. Our speaker is Elder Cecilia Beasley, Behind the Veil Ministry. Our evening service is FREE and open to the public. You don't want to miss this! Join us tonight at the Doubletree Westport Hotel. Service starts at 7:30 with the presentation of the Bridegroom banner.
Hotel Address:
Doubletree Westport
1973 Craigshire Rd
