Take Away

Here's some of the 'takeaway' thoughts for me from this conference.

Monday night - Pastor Jack reminded us that Foursquare is a distinct family with a distinct call from God. He talked how we live this best when we serve the Body of Christ because this purpose transcends sectarianism and denominationalism. He challenged us then to begin to pray with conviction that there is something to possess. Move beyond passive acknowledgement and pursue the call of God. Obviously, the same would apply to us as individuals.

Tuesday morning - Jack talked a lot. But, what I took away is that we are always in a battle. The spirit realm is real and there is a spiritual enemy that does not want to see us succeed. Live aware!

Tuesday night - Glenn Burris, Jr. spoke how often we go off on our own 'great ideas'. We may have pure motives, but our actions can be totally wrong. There is no greater pursuit than to hear the voice of God - and do it! It may not always make sense to us, but God is leading and working things out to His purposes. It is a challenge sometimes to stop and listen - but the results are only what God can do.
