Come Runnin'....
My name is Misti and I'm priviledged to be a part of the event team for Deeper Still. We just finished singing "Mercy Seat" and something hit me like a ton of bricks but before I share that I must give you a little background.
I went to see the movie "10,000 BC", a movie about a people group on the earth at that time (10,000 BC) who were making their rounds and taking other people groups captive as slaves. They were also capturing all the elephants and other large animals to help build what I remember to be in the movie the pyramids. The elephants were bound and forced to haul large items up a long ramp. The slaves devised a plan to rebel against their masters. Part of their plan included releasing the elephants as they were going up the ramp. When this happened, they were hoping the elephants would turn around and run the opposite direction once they realized they were released and that there was a way out. This is exactly what happened and while they ran to freedom, they trampled the enemy.
So, here's the point. The song we just sang says, "Come runnin, come runnin, come runnin' to the mercy seat....". I propose that once we realize there is freedom, a way out, and forgiveness we won't walk to Jesus, WE WILL RUN THERE! And while runnin', trample the enemy on the way. AMEN?! AMEN!
Run to Him.....there is no fear. No one loves you like He does and no one wants you to live in freedom more than He does.
Be Blessed.....Misti

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Deeper Still this weekend in Atlanta. This was a first for me and I was very moved by my experience. I enjoyed Priscilla, Kay and Beth, all three of you are wonderful teachers in the ministry.
Thank you for your spiritual uplifting this weekend, sometimes you just need someone to push you in the right direction when you feel yourself trying to back slide.
Thank you.

I was so blessed by the conference this weekend in Atlanta. It gave me a fresh desire to tell people about Christ and I thank everyone involved with Deeper still. I want to know if a DVD of the Atlanta conference will be made and where I can purchase it. I was unable to purchase anything because the arena was so big I was never able to find the table where they had things for sale. Could you also tell me where I coud purchase a CD by Travis and the praise team. I will never forget this wonderfully blessed experience.

Wow, what an event! Experienced a moment with God, on my knees( in the balcony) that I will never forget, during the song Mercy Seat. We all need to just "keep running". God Bless and thank you for being faithful.

Went to Deeper Still at the Curb Center at Belmont
last year. It was such a blessing even though I
did not get into Sommet. When I found out it was
going to be in Atlanta, I thought I am not going to
get left out this year. WHAT A BLESSING!!!!!
I did not think it could get any better than last year.
WOW!!! God filled the arena. I have been so blessed.
I do not know where "Deeper Still" will
be in 2009 but the good Lord willing, I will be there
going Deeper Still!
God Bless you, Priscilla, Kay & Beth

Wow! I was blessed for my best friend and I to attend "Deeper Still" in Atlanta this weekend to celebrate her birthday, and get deeper still with Christ! Are there words that can express how it feels when God continues to touch HIS children, and send phenomenal mentors and teachers like Beth, Kay, and Priscilla. To see that many women in an arena who all love Jesus, its overwhelming in a good way. I am still humming the tunes, and words to the worship music, and the words are not leaving my mind...I don't want them to. May God continue to move in all of your lives, and may you always choose HIM, like he chose us! Blessings!l

I want to say that I was so blessed to be at the Deeper Still Conference this weekend. I have attended alot of Beth's conferences, but this one was different. I first of all want to say I lost my grandmother who helped my mother raise me 4 months ago. Me and my mom have had a real tough time with this. I did not realize that I had slipped into a deep dark depression. So I tried several times to back out of going to this conference. I thank God that my sweet and dear husband, a man of God and my church friends were not going to let me cancell out!! Sallie , my best friend that I work at the church with said she would have to take me kicking and screaming. Well, the very first night at the end of the session there was a lady who turned around to me and my friends and pointed at me and said"IT"S YOU", God told me in my spirit to turn around to the lady in back of you(which was me) and pray with her she has just experienced a hurt and needs to know that I love her and I have not left her!!!! and that lady prayed for me and my mom and cried with me. So as we stood there in Philips Arena I realized that sorrow lasts for a season and I had to get rid of the sadness and get busy for GOD! Ladies I want to tell you that GOD WAS THERE! I told my friends that were with me that I had to sit down my legs were trembling so I couldn't even walk. I thanked her for being so obeident to the Holy Spirit. When I got home I explained to my mom what had happened and I asked her if she felt any different Friday night around that time that I thought we were praying for her, and she told me that she actually did. She said that she felt so bad she thought she was going to die. At first I didn't understand that response because that was not at all what I was expecting. BUT then the God told me in my spirit that the prayers we did Friday night for her were so strong and casting satan out was what made her feel that way. This was a inward battle that I'm glas My GOD Won! Then a few hours later she was doing great. Sisters in Christ, we are in a Spiritual warfare with the enemy satan himself. We must be prepared always to defend the faith and pray for others daily! We have the power to cast satan out ourselves and others and we must do this. I did not get a chance to get the name of this dear sweet sister in Christ who prayed with me. I so desperately want to. PLEASE if this is you, let me know you name and more info. about yourself. delanakim@yahoo.com
