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.
