Not Just an Event, A Movement of God
Have you ever felt like you were in the right place at the right time? And I mean it was God’s timing and something you could never orchestrate by your own planning or power. A real “Esther 4:14—for such a time as this� kind of moment. That is how I felt at Deeper Still in San Francisco, California in March this year.
The first time I heard about the dream of Deeper Still I had chill bumps! Deeper Still—
the name alone lets you know that this is something different from anything you’ve experienced in other events or conferences. Then to actually take part in Deeper Still San Francisco…God used the time with Him to change my life. And I wasn’t the only one.
Read what a few of the women from Deeper Still San Francisco said at the end of this extended time with God…
“God prepared me to be here. Deeper with the Lord is where I want to be. I believe God is challenging me to let go of some areas to re-direct me to cling to Him.�“I realized God can forgive my past sins and He can and will use them for good. I have to move forward and from this point on be obedient in all things. Only God can strengthen me to do so.�
“For the first time in my Christian life I believe I can surrender my heart and life completely to Christ. I am encouraged by these messages to use the power of prayer and Scripture to go Deeper Still.�
“God spoke to my heart that He is Lord of all the events in my life. God is sovereign and I now know that He filters all things through His love for my life. Accept God for the BIG, BIG God that He is!�
Deeper Still it is not just a few days of a mountain top experience or another event…it is a time for women to experience amazing worship and Bible study in a deeper way than ever before. As a result we’ve seen firsthand the beginning of a movement of God through generations of women who are living passionately for God and His Word.
I’ve heard and read about the Great Awakenings and tremendous movements of God throughout church history. Deep inside there is a part of me that wants to be part of something BIG. A movement of God that changes lives and transforms the culture. A moment or place in time that forever changes the course of history. Deeper Still is not just another event; it is a movement of God.
Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think—according to the power that works in you—to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph. 3:20-21, HCSB)

It's Sunday AM and we just got back from Nashville, TN. We came from the Cincinnati Ohio area. What a BLESSING you all are! I learned so much. It was my first adventure with Priscilla and oh, how I love her. Her annointing, her teaching and her energy! Thank you ALL for the seeds planted and the love bestowed upon us all.
Will the messages given be available for us to listen to again? I would like to hear them again. Looking back over my notes I see large blank spaces where I got so carried away listening that I forgot what I was going to write!
Looking forward to more!

I soo get this...I don't want any event that I have ever went to to be another event but God speaking and moving in my life through a venue! I didn't get all that he was doing until I got home...late mind you because of an accident on the interstate (3:45am!!!) and finally when I lay down I am praying and winding down with my God and going through so many things that He used Kay, Beth and Priscilla to infuse my into my life, and all I got was that he wants to show up in my life with His presence and I get so frustrated with Him at times in my life and cry out for His presence and I learned that like the two (Uzzah and Ahio) who were trying to carry the ark (which housed His presence) that I don't have to reach up or forward to catch His presence to HELP HIM...He is God and I may be struck dead in the process trying to help HIM!!! I laughed at myself in my time with Him going through all He taught me but also that the 2 poles that held the ARK are PRAYER and the WORD, so no wonder I presence-less when I don't even have the two poles of priority that houses His presence...as Kay would say "DUH"! But thank you to eveyone who was used of God to help Duh chics like me go Deeper still! May He continue to use you as He moves and does what He is doing in this time and season of His kingdom calendar!!
