Last night was one of those incredible nights I have ever been privileged to be a part of. The vulnerability of each women who took part in the evening was a beautiful thing to behold. Women are the most extravagant, special & beautiful of God’s creation. They are His expression of creativity and compassion.
I shared about a 5 minute talk on identity at our Ladies Night, and when I sat down to prepare for this 5 minute talk 7 pages of notes came out of me. Even if I spoke really fast I would not be able to get 7 pages of notes read in 5 minutes so I am going to post my notes on my blog in segments over the next week or so.
Here is the handout "In Christ I Am"Download identity_handout.doc as promised to the ladies that attended. It’s a great resource to have available for those times when you forget what Christ died for so you could have. It’s all the things God’s word says about who you are in Christ.
Love it. I was not at your ladies night but I am gonna down load it! First time I steal your info I will give you props, next time it’s mine! JK Ha ha!
Have a great week!!
What an incredible evening. It is a privilege to be part of such a dynamic church. I feel like “Church” does not even begin to explain what the Life Centre is. The name is perfect. LIFE CENTRE. It breaths life into people. The women involved at the Life Centre are sooooo talented and are great role-models for others who want to further their walks as women of God.
Thank you Lori and the team.
Something wonderful happened to me last night and I would like to share it with you. At the end of the night Lori invited anyone who wanted to take authority of thier name God gave them to come up to the alter and women would pray for that authority. I sat there and thinking to myself I’m good I don’t need prayer tonight. WELL of course once again I forgot that God is the master planner. As I sat there I overheard a lady behind me say ” I can’t go up there I just can’t” I looked at her and said “I pray that you remove can’t from your vocabulary.” I sensed she was comfortable with me and was expecting more out of this prayer. Well I froze and told her “sorry, I can’t pray for you… I’m NEW..” lol Before I could finish saying I’m New, I could here God speak to me loud and clear. I needed to take authority of my birth name. I stood up prayed with Kim to have authority to pray over people.. to be the go to women of God. Kim gave me a mission to go and pray for someone right there. So I prayed with my sister. WOW all day I wanted to pray for people. I may not have all the right words but I now know the love and compassion in my heart is all I need. Thanks for reading! I’ll try to keep it short next time but no promises. Christine
I really enjoyed the ladies night but then I love everything about The Life Centre. I was amazed at the openness and honest of all those who shared, especially Kim. It’s funny how you never think others have the same vulnerability as you. I didn’t go up for prayer because I didn’t know what I needed at that moment, nor, did I go up to pray for others because, I am really, really, really scared to stand in front of the altar and pray for people. There is something so different, for me, in praying for people in front of the altar vs. a lifegroup setting. The idea of standing up in front makes me want to run. It took everything in me not to bolt out the door. I felt guilty because I know I should have been up front praying for other ladies but, I know if I had gotten up I would have ran out of door. It’s rather funny since I have no problems praying for others in a Lifegroup setting. One day, though I will go up, I will step up and destroy this stronghold of fear that seems to come over me everytime an altar call is made.
All in all though it was a wonderful night. Thanks to all who make it possible.
Thank you for sharing your notes on here. I am a big fan of sharing resources. It is an idea I can use when I lead women at my church.
