D-MIF SOUTHERN REGION "GET REFRESHED" CONFERENCE

​

Join us at the First Annual D-MIF South “Get Refreshed Conference” in New Orleans, LA. Our introductory Theme is “Laying A Solid Foundation”.

 

1 Corinthians 3:11-13 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.

 

The word “foundation” is defined as the ground on which other parts rest or are overlaid, like the base on which a house is built or the roots of a tree. Without a strong foundation, neither could withstand the storms that various seasons bring. Similarly, without a strong spiritual foundation, you cannot withstand the storms of life that you may be facing—whether they are financial, emotional, or relational. Although society and culture may offer many solutions to help you brace against the struggles of daily living, following are the three essentials needed in your spiritual life to weather any storm you might be dealt:

1.   Praise and Worship

2.   The Word of God

3.   Prayer

 

By embracing these three activities and putting them into daily practice, you will build your spiritual strength—your foundation—and begin to experience a powerful new sense of God’s presence and purpose. Just as it takes time to lay a sturdy foundation for a house to be built on; it takes time to build the foundation of your faith. Likewise, when you spend time with God in praise, worship, His Word, and prayer, He uses it as a foundation to solve your problems and transform your life.

 

If you don’t already have a daily habit of devotion to the Lord, it’s not too late to start. Why not start by simply looking deeply into your heart and then asking God to draw you closer into a relationship with Him? Through worship, the Word, and prayer, He will be there. Join us for a time of refreshing, learning, worship and fellowship.
