Whether you are coming as a participant or serving, God's presence will change your life forever!

Retreat Topics Preview...
The Orphan Heart/Lifestyle
We are going to address something that we call an "Orphan Heart - and Lifestyle". It is not a spirit, although there may be several spirits that attempt to bring us into bondage because of it. It is a heart we develop by being hurt, deeply wounded or abused. And, if not corrected, will lead to a lifestyle. Many, if not most, here probably have been affected by it. You might even be living a lifestyle developed over time because of wounded- ness.
Fear (New Topic!)
The words I listen to…and speak agreement with…will determine whether I live by faith or by fear. We can see this in Romans 10:17 and Proverbs 18:21. As we hear God’s word and agree by speaking it out, proclaiming and declaring it as truth, then “FAITH” is established. However, if I listen to and agree with the lies of the enemy and speak those lies with my mouth, then “FEAR” is established.
Guilt, Shame, and Condemnation
Guilt...is how we...feel about the things... in our lives that were wrong or sinful...what we have done or been involved in. Guilt is a normal, honest response of our conscience.
Shame...on the other hand, is how we...feel about ourselves... or...how we...see ourselves...because of bad things in our lives. Shame can come either from things we have done, or things that have happened to us, such as sexual abuse or violation.
Condemnation...is the accusing voice of the enemy telling us how bad we have been and how unworthy we are. Condemnation, which comes from Satan, is intended to push us down and to make us feel defeated and unworthy of God's love, grace, and acceptance.
Passage to Purity
Most of us have at least some understanding of what sexual sin is, but do we really understand how destructive it is? We encourage you...let your heart and your eyes be open to see and receive understanding today...God wants us to see this truth and the freedom it will bring.
Freemasonry (New Topic!)
"Can a Christian be a Freemason?" Experience shows us that they can - but the real question should be, "Should a Christian be a Freemason?" They teach that all religions are okay and equal. In their rituals the initiate kneels at an alter, on this alter are all the holy books of religions, they are considered equal with the Bible. They don’t want to offend any; yet, you cannot mention the name of Jesus.
How could a movement which bans the name of Christ in its acts of worship be acceptable for Christians to join? Without a shadow of a doubt Freemasonry is incompatible with Christianity, and no Christian should have anything to do with it. Many children and even grandchildren of freemasons have found it useful to renounce the Masonic vows made by their forebears. In numerous cases this renunciation has been associated with release from harmful physical or spiritual conditions, which usually correspond to curses invoked through the oaths.
Resurrection Life
The assignment of this spirit (the spirit of death) is to:
STEAL our vision, hopes, dreams & joy - By introducing discouragement, defeat, despair & depression
KILL our physical body & mental capacity - By introducing sickness, disease, mental disorders and suicidal thoughts
DESTROY our relationships -By introducing confusion, selfishness, betrayal & destructive choices
