In this powerful message from the Awakening Conference 2024, we're reminded of the importance of spiritual sight and discernment in our walk with God. The central theme revolves around the idea of 'night vision' - our ability to perceive and navigate through spiritual darkness with God's guidance. Drawing from Exodus 13:21, we're shown how God provides a 'cloud by day and fire by night' to lead us. We can advance in both seasons of light and darkness in our lives - challenging times are not setbacks, but opportunities to dig deeper wells of faith. We're called to be 'people of light' with spiritual night vision.

In this powerful message from the Awakening Conference 2024, we’re reminded that our testimony is not just a retelling of our past but a living reflection of God’s ongoing, transformative work in our lives. Centered around Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28 to “come” to Him, we’re challenged to move beyond our labels, disappointments, and pain to embrace the Father’s unfailing love.Chapters:0:00 - 0:49 The Power of Testimony and God's InvitationWe explore the true meaning of testimony and God's invitation for revival in our lives.0:49 - 2:56 Personal Journey: From Depression to Divine EncounterA personal story of struggling with depression and experiencing a powerful encounter with God.2:56 - 6:30 The Gospel's Invitation: Come to MeWe explore the core invitation of the gospel and the freedom it offers from performance-based faith.06:30 - 09:06 Seeing the Son: God's Revelation in Our PainWe examine how God reveals Himself in our pain and suffering, using the story of Lazarus.09:06 - 14:41 Embracing Our Identity as BelovedWe're called to embrace our true identity as God's beloved, regardless of our circumstances.Connect with us:Website: www.lincsisterhood.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelincsisterhoodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lincsisterhoodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LincSisterhoodApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/the-linc-sisterhood-podcast/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d5fG0JUcJWsjUBCjfx8EV

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's love and the beauty He can create in the most barren places of our lives. The central theme revolves around Isaiah 35, which paints a vivid picture of deserts blooming and wastelands rejoicing. This scripture isn't just about physical transformation, but speaks to the spiritual renewal God brings to our hearts. We're encouraged to see our past hurts and 'labels' not as permanent scars, but as fertile ground for God's miraculous work. Just as flowers can grow from rocks in harsh landscapes, God can bring forth beauty and purpose from our hardest experiences. This message challenges us to reexamine the labels we've placed on ourselves and instead embrace the identity God has given us - loved and chosen.

In our journey of faith, we often encounter trials that test our resilience and trust in God. This powerful message reminds us that even in the midst of fiery trials, God's presence remains our ultimate refuge. Psalm 3:3-4, reminds us how God shields us, grounds our feet, and lifts our heads high. As we navigate life's storms, we're reminded that maintaining a pure heart is the true prize of enduring trials. This message challenges us to protect our spiritual borders, tend to our 'fences' in times of peace, and look for God's wonder even in our darkest moments. It's a call to move beyond self-preservation and into a deeper trust in God's sovereignty, reminding us that the safest place on earth is where God positions us, even if it's uncomfortable. We pray this message from Awakening Conference 2024 will stir your spirit and move you into all that God has for you. Chapters 0:00 - 6:00 Preparing for Trials and God's Sovereignty The importance of preparation and trusting in God's sovereignty during trials. 6:00 - 12:00 Protecting Your Borders in Times of Peace and War Strategies for protecting our spiritual and emotional borders before and during trials. 12:00 - 18:00 Overcoming Self-Preservation and Embracing God's Healing Addressing self-preservation tendencies and embracing God's healing and freedom.
