Hi ladies, here's an overview from Barbara Michael about the focus of the Break-Out Session she will be teaching at Shoes on the Move. If you would like to participate in this session, please send an email to let us know. We love you dearly and believe in the gift and call of God on your life! Debbie and Charlana

Living Life from the Place of Prayer
Prayer brings the plans of God to the earth. As women, we have many responsibilities in life. Whether it’s our family, our business or work place, our ministry, church, etc, the plan and power of God must be released in those areas for them to be successful. Prayer is what makes that happen.
The question is how do we do all the things we need to do and at the same time keep everything covered in prayer?
During our time together, we will learn to live a life of prayer and not be overwhelmed with it all. For God said He would fill us with joy in His house of prayer (Isaiah 56:7 NLT). When done right, it is joyful.
I’m reminded of the following scripture.
The place of prayer is the place where we seek God and find Him, discovering who He is and how He loves us. It’s the place we learn to commune with the Holy Spirit so that we can walk with Him continually, receiving instruction and direction in all things. It’s a place where we are transformed, renewed and daily loaded with His benefits. It’s the place we live from.
The plan is to further develop this area of our lives by spending time together in God’s Presence and learning from His Word and His Spirit.

I’m reminded of the following scripture.
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O Lord of Heaven's Armies, my King and my God! What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises Psalm 84:1-4 (NLT).Like the Sparrow, no matter what responsibilities we have we must first build a place near God’s altar and from there tend to those things. This is what I call the place of prayer. This is not a physical place, but a place developed in us from which all things flow out of.
The place of prayer is the place where we seek God and find Him, discovering who He is and how He loves us. It’s the place we learn to commune with the Holy Spirit so that we can walk with Him continually, receiving instruction and direction in all things. It’s a place where we are transformed, renewed and daily loaded with His benefits. It’s the place we live from.
