"Extreme Devotion"

"connecting the hearts of women to Jesus Christ"
This past Saturday at our home church was incredible!
God poured out His love onto us as only He can do. The Holy
Spirit was evident to show us the truth about Himself and our
brothers and sisters in other parts of the world who are fully
devoted to Him. Our day started off with a skit, representing
how a pastor was taken from his underground church and the women were
left behind, meeting secretly with whatever "pieces" of the Word they could
bring along with those who hid the Word in their heart.
Expressing the need to memorize and be in our Words daily so we have
it in our hearts, should the day come that we also are scattered. The Worship was beautiful and reverent to God. I Will Bless Your Name, Turn your eyes upon Jesus, so many more were offered in praise to His Name! Our titles covered; Radical Abandonment- Follow Jesus, Extreme Evidence, Radical Peace through the Power of the Holy Spirit, Extreme Devotion,
Faith Factor game and an interview from "God's View" with Sabina Wurmbrand. The day ended
with the alter call and asking women to take whatever it is that is holding them back from
fully following Jesus and nailing it to the cross. Moving forward, leaving that sin behind
that they may be extremely devoted to Jesus Christ!
A sobering day of bringing awareness of the persecuted church and that no matter
what is to come, God's church will survive, He will allow it to flourish and multiply
despite its enemies! What a privilege and blessing to witness God's hand in, through, on and around us. We praise God for the precious opportunity to serve Him out of obedience and to
see His love shared with women.

Joyfully His,
Debbie

Extreme Devotion

As the Women of WHM gear up for the Extreme Devotion Revival at Victory Bible Church, we are studying both what Scripture says about persecution, current oppression and violence against our brothers and sisters around the world, and end times prophesies.

Our hearts cry out for those members of His Body who live in places where they cannot outwardly live a life of worship and are persecuted if labeled a "Christian". I, personally, am learning that although persecutors maul their bodies, no one can touch their souls except the Spirit of our Living God. The persecuted Christians that I have read about, live in His presence as they abide in communion with Him. They walk in the strength and freedom of a deep spiritual life, not just with God but with one another. They are truly devoted . . . just read Paul's encouragement to his brothers and sisters in Thessalonica.

2 Thessalonians 1:2-5
Grace unto you, and the peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

Please join us in prayer for the devoted followers of Jesus Christ, who claim spiritual freedom in the face of physical threats. Pray for those whose religious beliefs are their judgement. Pray for the enemies of the Body, those oppressors, who are threatened by our devotion to the Sovereign God (whose hands they are also in whether they acknowledge it or not). Let us all be a witness to the God of Truth through our Extreme Devotion, in times of peace and in times of trials and tribulation, now and forever. Amen.

The Women of WHM will be at their home church (Victory Bible Church) for the Extreme Devotion Women's Conference on Saturday, April 25, 2009 from 9 am to 3pm. Do you dare to come and be challenged in your faith? We hope so. You have heard of Fear Factor, prepare for Faith Factor. It is our prayer and hope that the Holy Spirit draws you unto Himself. This revival is packed with Scripture, reality, revelation and restoration. You do not want to miss the opportunity to renew your faith in these perilous times that we live. Come anticipating that you will not leave the same you came. Rated "R" for reality and content.

There is no charge for this conference, lunch is provided. Donations will be taken to cover cost of food.

The Seven Values of A Whole Hearted Woman

The Seven Values.

A Whole Hearted Woman seeks to…

1. Love God more than ministry. Her worship and hunger for Him comes before our activity for Him. Ministry is not God but is an extension of His work. It is a privilege to exercise service to Him, not a means to build a relationship with Him.


2. She studies His word and seeks guidance and direction from the Holy Spirit through prayer, and fasting.


3. Love, honor, and enrich the life of her husband. She encourages and supports his leadership within his family and his church.


4. Connect the hearts of her children to Jesus Christ through both her example in the home and ministry to others. Share her life lessons through investing in the lives of women and mentoring them with biblical principles. She relies on the wisdom and power of God’s Word to coach and encourage them in their personal walk.
   
5. Be faithful to the things she has been set over in her home, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. Help those in need by demonstrating the love of Jesus to them, meeting each person where she is.


6. Be obedient to her calling and fulfill the will of the Father for her life. She encourages others to do so as well, which raises up other believers.


7. She prays that the Holy Spirit will empower the lives of others through her story, song, or writing.

We at Whole Heart believe in a TEAM effort to achieve the goals for the Kingdom as we cannot do them alone:

Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

We believe: In the plenary and verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible as originally given; that it is the complete revelation of God written for the salvation of man. The Word of God is the supreme and final authority regarding faith and the Christian life.
We believe: That there is only one true God. He is all knowing, all wise, and all powerful, eternal and sovereign. He ever eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
We believe: The deity of Jesus Christ. Being all God and all man, the world’s only Savior; in His pre-incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, death on the cross, burial, bodily resurrection who sits on the right hand side of the Father who continually makes intercession for the believer.. and in His personal, visible return to reign on earth for a thousand years;
We believe: In God, the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, anoints, teaches and empowers the believer; seals with promise the pledge of inheritance.
We believe: That God created man in his image, that he sinned and separated himself physically and spiritually from God. All people are born with a sin nature are lost, guilty, and deserving the wrath of God and in need of salvation.
We believe John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We believe all who repent, confess and believe are saved by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ; Believers are then adopted and become joint-heirs with Christ which assures eternal salvation and inheritance.;
We believe that the church is the body of Jesus Christ. Those who have trusted in the complete work of the cross and have separated themselves in obedience from sin. Those who have embraced His grace allow Him to propel the believer’s faith into action. In the Holy Spirit’s power they are compelled to serve the Lord Jesus in all good works in obedience to fulfilling the scriptures. The Holy Spirit in the believer will result in a life of holiness and a walk of obedience to the will of God.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, which means eternal glory for the believers in heaven and unbelievers to eternal punishment in hell of conscious suffering. We believe that Jesus Christ will return for His church, His bride. All true believers will reign with Him and he will establish His Kingdom throughout eternity.
We believe we are to walk in obedience to the Lord’s commands: to be baptized, partake in communion, and to lead people of all nations to faith in the Lord Jesus and to encourage them to mature in Him.
