Notes from Seattle – Highlights for Focus

Notes from Seattle, Wa. Conference 2007

Jane Hansen: Watch for the mocking spirit that says you can’t do that. Jesus had to go through the desert to get to transformation. It is the season for ‘Serious Business’ for God’s women.

Che’ An: To see Revival we need to see OUR LIFE IS NOT OUR OWN. It’s time for Radical Obedience. Repent over doubt and complacency. Live a consecrated life. Repent over doubt and complacency. Live a consecrated life.

Lou Engle: There is a John the Baptist anointing be released. A SIGNIFICANT YEAR OF CONSECRATION. Be careful! He’s looking for people to make war and take dominion. Where’s your passion, find it. You cannot go into the future until you fulfill your purpose today. He’s looking for an army of believers daring to do Big things.

Jane Hansen: time of Dedication, turn aside from things—a time of Holiness unlike any other we have seen. Get rid of legalism. Get into the deep things of God. It will only come through brokenness. It’s time for Boards to hear what God is saying! A TIME OF INTENSE LISTENING. Whatever He says do it! Don’t walk in old ways.

Robert Stearns: It is time to SHIFT, AWAKE, and ARISE to the next level, the next season. Let go of what needs to be let go of. Shift from addition to multiplication! STOP RESPONDING TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND ESTABLISH THE ATMOSPHERE, through your shout and your praise. Lift your voice….YOU ARE MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN YOU LOOK. A new breed of leaders are coming forth. God likes it loud. His voice is Loud….listen for the NEW SOUND. There’s a breakthrough in your shout. It’s a bold demanding sound in your spirit. Discern what is happening. He is bringing government order and structure to the Body of Christ. Time to get things in order. Sons of Issachar discerned the times. This is a TRANSITIONAL year. Am. 9:11 He is aligning us…the old has died! He’s aligning us with heavens time table. PUT ON THE ZEAL OF THE LORD like a cloak, a forerunner preparing the way….

Chuck Pierce: Aglow will lead……….there is a momentum to be formed. We must gain momentum this year, transformed into a Revolution. We are moving from transition to momentum. This is the FEAST OF TABERNACLES YEAR Neh. 8. There is a shifting of Mantles. Spend your time praising and worshiping, declaring and celebrating. There are strategies to open doors. Season of labor is completed and we are coming into a new Season of where we have labored. Women have a voice “An expression will come forth. GIVE EXPRESSION TO THE VOICE OF GOD. HE’S COMING DOWN IN OUR MIDST. BE CAREFUL IN YOUR WORSHIP.
If we do not SHIFT FROM OUR OLD SEASON IT WILL BECOME OUR NEW SEASON. THERE IS A SOUND……TO COME FORTH. THE SOUND FROM THE OLDER GENERATION MUST COME TO BRING FORTH THE NEXT GENERATION. BE A FORCE AND TAKE DOMINION!

These were a few notes from each speaker. It always helps me to hit the highlights to get focused. Hope this helps you- Jana Comer, WNC President

From Our President’s Pen – Jana Comer, WNC Pres.

Dear Lighthouse Leaders,

As you can see the overall theme from Conference reveals us in a unique time in the earth. It is a ‘significant year of Consecration’, discern the times and make Transition and a ‘Shifting from our old season into a new season’. Break out of the old and into the new or your new season will be your old season (again).

As I shared in my recent letter there will be 4 unfolding requirements the Lord gave me for WNC. The first we will be walking out will be “Identification”. As the Lord directs, you will be receiving “Leadership Points’ in various ways in the coming year as He guides us for WNC to make a SHIFT into our defined destinies: on a personal level and a corporate level, the first one being this newsletter to keep you up to date on what is going on at International and in WNC.

In a book by Larry Randolph called ‘The Coming Shift’, he proposes several questions throughout his book taken from John 21, to help the Body of Christ ‘Identify’ what holds you back from making a Shift into the new Move of the Holy Spirit to align yourself with the Kingdom mentality that will bring Revival. His first question is a Direction Shift: “You know you are fishing from the wrong side of the boat when Jesus re-directs your attention else where”! selah…………….. Then Part 2 opens with “You know you are fishing from the right side of the boat when obedience brings you into full contact with your Destiny”.

Look for more insights to come from your Area Leadership Team as we have begun to walk through the first requirement “Identification”. Our ultimate goal is to be Transformed into His Image (personally and corporately) to fulfill His purposes in the earth today, bringing us into complete alignment with the Kingdom of God well prepared and equipped to bring in the harvest. But………..there is a journey to get there.
Destiny is not a place you arrive at, it is a journey that is more about who you become in the process.

I’m praying ‘STRENGTH’ for us all on the journey, and ‘JOY ‘in removing the obstacles that hold back the Kingdom of God, coming forth in each of us, and the breath of God to propel us forward.

Leading the journey,

Jana – wnc

Many Blessings Ladies,

A simple scripture (Matthew 6:9-13) is what our Lord ministered to my heart at Conference in Seattle, Wa. He ministered to me that I should speak this scripture to myself daily, preferably in the mornings (before I start my day). At that time, I tried to figure out what it meant. Later on, the week after conference, I received solid revelation as to why:

This prayer asks that God's pattern in heaven be brought to earth (thine will be done on earth as it is in heaven). What's going on in heaven? Worship and intercession! And Jesus himself is at the right hand of God making intercession for US! The elders are casting their crowns and the angels are singing holy, holy, holy (this is hallowed be his name!). God wants us to bring this to earth. I also believe that this is "what it looks like" when Chuck Pierce said at conference that worship will walk the earth this year.

Gear up ARMY OF THE LORD! We need more worship and intercession (we heard it over and over at conference!). Thus the Word S.W.I.F.T (strategic warfare intercessory focus team) continues to confirm itself. Don’t wait to go to another worship service or another prayer meeting. Dig your own well! Our first eternal calling and destiny is to worship him.

And I believe, if we answer this calling first, the other callings and mantles that are destined in our lives will fall in place. God will give us our daily bread in worship. Bread that will keep us from evil and allow us to walk in forgiveness (sounds like manna to me).

"Thine Kingdom come, Thine will be done" is a call to be under the discipline of the Holy Spirit and allow God to bring THE KINGDOM (Kingdom principle and thinking) into every area of our life (personally, corporate, marriage, finance, business, local Church, Aglow, children, grand-children, and etc.).

Once you say "YES" for the Kingdom, the shift begins to take place bringing you into Kingdom minded-ness.

And as our President continues to define the vision for WNC, we must say "YES" to make the shift into the vision for WNC.

Remember............. you are saying "YES" to God. And God has a purpose for each of us, individually and corporately in His Kingdom.

Remember............. you are saying "YES" to God. And God has a purpose for each of us, individually and corporately in His Kingdom.

We will be an intentional force that brings about an influential change in someone's life to prompt them to move forward in the Kingdom. Simple, but tested, tried by fire and found true.
Love,
Pamela Smith- WNC, VP

SAY YES FOR THE KINGDOM!

FINANCIAL –SHIRLEY “DEAN” HOWEY

Dear Lighthouses,

It is hard for me to believe that Fall is already here, and Christmas (Jesus Birthday) is around the corner. Hope each one of you had a wonderful summer in the Lord Jesus Christ praising and worshiping our Savior. The area team wants to thank all of the Lighthouses for all that are sowing financially into the Area Team (W.N. C.) and ask those who do not to pray about doing so. Each Lighthouse should give to the Aglow International and to your Area Board.

As you know there are many expenses incurred as we travel to be trained and travel to train the Lighthouses. Money you send to us is used wisely, we also tithe to International, Mid-Atlantic region and to our State Prayer Coordinator. While our funds get low at times, God has never failed to bless our obedience. He will do the same for each Lighthouse. There are three Biblical terms denoting the three methods of giving.

1. Tithe-Is 10% and should be paid regularly as we receive our wages, God has ordained the tithe as a financial mainstay of his Church.

In a sense a tithe is really “Hot Money” because it really does not belong to us. I believe that when you take an offering in your Lighthouse meeting you should give to International and to your Area Board. It is better to live on a blessed 90% than a cursed 100%. Just remember in God’s hands, little is much.

2. Offering-In the scripture the term is always used in reference to a sacrifice offering. They are additional, meant to meet a specific need but we need to remember to give with a joyful heart for God loves a cheerful giver. Hebrews 11:4 tells us that God accepted Abel’s offering because of the righteous of right standing before him.

3. Alms-The Greek word for alms simply means compassion. It is related to doing good or relieving the oppressed or of giving to the poor. Jesus said “When thou do alms, let not your left hand know not what your right had doeth, that your alms may be in secret and our Father which seeth in secret, himself shall reward you openly”. Matthew 6:3-4 alms are over and above the tithe, and are a personal gift from man to man. Please remember that little is much in God hands, and when you give with a cheerful heart God has his big shovel giving back to you and blessing you.

Submitted Respectfully With Love,
