Woman of Promise

 

In this seminar THE PROMISE, we predominantly look at the prophetic significance of how
the ministry of Jesus was launched at the wedding feast of Cana and how this affects our lives today.

 

Written by Lindah Robinson

We touch on the truths of the Feasts of Israel that foreshadow this event. It was at the wedding at Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine and the master of the ceremonies declared, “You have saved the best till now.” It prophetically points to Jesus returning for His Bride and the new wine that would be released through this relationship. This serves as our inspiration for this seminar.

The whole heart of a wedding is the Covenant vows or promises that are made between the bride and groom. The Bible is a love story and the restoration of the intimate relationship between God and His people. God restores this through our relationship with Jesus Christ who is the Bridegroom and we, the church, His bride. We have been given The Holy Spirit to prepare and help us to fulfill this awesome mandate. The blood shed at the cross is the “Bride Price” and what enables us, as an idolatrous bride, to be restored and then to be married to resurrection life in Christ. When we receive this new wine, we live empowered by The Holy Spirit instead of living in our own strength. The cup of our lives then overflows and we live victorious, super-“natural” lives that demonstrate and brings forth His Kingdom, impacting not only our lives but those around us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Allow The Winemaker to change the water to wine in your life.
  • Let your life be a cup that overflows with the new wine of His Presence.
  • Dare to believe His promises and release God’s Covenant blessings.
  • Enter in to a love relationship that will empower, energise and equip you to live a victorious life.
  • Become part of an end time move that will shatter yokes of bondage, shift strongholds and break open new ground.

This presentation is interactive and accompanied by an easy to follow workbook that can be used individually and in group settings. Ideal for ladies’ gatherings, camps and home groups.

I have really started to draw close to the Lord and I feel His Presence in my life. I look forward to my future and drawing even closer to Him.  I have learned that whatever challenges I am facing that the Word is where I will receive all I need!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the amazing weekend we spent with each other. The set up was great and going over the promises again revealed the awesomeness of our Lord Jesus.

I was at the Woman Of Peace Conference held at Harvest Church when they recorded this message and I promise that I definitely learnt the true meaning of emptying my cup this past weekend. There is truly a lot to learn.

There is so much more to say but would not like to go on and on…. I am sharing my book with the ladies at work. Next week I hope to make copies of the newsletter received and to distribute that as well.

Once again – go with God and Thank You!

Thank you for a great weekend with God the Father, God the Son and God Holy Spirit. The material was excellent. The practical demonstration and Holy Communion was very healing.

When you spoke about your cup, I thought you were getting confused with my cup. It appears that our cups are identical. Remember I said that God was doing a work but I had no idea what it was? He revealed it to me through your testimony. Thank you Heidi (Facilitator). It was such a relief to hear you talk. God is busy with refining work. So the work He was doing in me was refining. This refining is an ongoing process. Just like the course said.

I am so blessed to be part of the past weekend.

It was with a poor and tatty attitude, shoes of lead and an empty cup that I arrived at Come Away Ladies’ Retreat 2016, however…..

Despite all the “I’s” and all the “me’s”, Jesus, in His mercy DID show me His unconditional love, His abundant grace and His glory!! Spiritually AND physically!!

The teachings received, were solid and sound, reminding me of once taught truths, opening my eyes to new truths and touching the very depths of my heart. I loved learning about the wedding ceremony and how we, His bride, are to prepare ourselves for the coming of our Groom! To trust and wait expectantly and do so actively.

The practical activity of moulding clay was so effective – I was able to understand what I was like in God’s hands. I just need to yield to Him and obey His word. He is the Potter and I am the clay, but if I constantly complain and direct the Potter, I will NEVER fulfil the divine plan the Potter has for me – the PERFECT plan.

Brokenness is never pleasant; I have been there, but through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, we overcome, so Janine’s testimony was such a powerful one for me. Kintsugi; – the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold was something I never knew of, but just like those “vessels” that have been extra-ordinarily repaired, when we allow Jesus to come alongside of us and cover us with His wings of healing, He will pick up the broken pieces and put them back together piece by piece, creating something more beautiful that reflects HIS goodness and His glory!

My cup is FULL and I am an ‘OH-SO-WILLING-AND-OPEN’ vessel for Jesus!

Apart from learning so much from Virginia our Course Leader - I have also learnt much from the ladies attending the course - their perspectives and life experience and most importantly other cultures. I have become more aware of my identity in Christ thereby less opinionated, less self. I now full understand the word "meekness' and strive daily to apply.

I have learnt to apply the Lords Word most definitely with the understanding that by daily immersing oneself in the Word and by just being quiet and intimate with the Lord, the facets of live as a woman, which are all linked and intertwined, will result in us to be Woman of Peace - Obedience!

The Course has grown me spiritually, has challenged me a lot in my character, my weak areas and my life has improved since I started the Course.  My marriage has been amazingly restored.  My intimacy with the Lord has been elevated to another level and has amazingly improved.  The restoration of the love of God in my family and the amazing peace I have received and live by now is a great miracle.

My husband returned home last year September after spending 5 years working away from home.  During those 5 years I had to be Mom and Dad to my 4 teenagers.  I learnt how to balance my life in that role and became very good at it i.e. very independent and self sufficient, so much so that when my husband came back home I found it difficult to readjust to life as a proper couple again.  We’ve spent the last year fighting each to the point where, after 23 years of marriage, the divorce word was now in play.

About a month before starting the Course I’d given my wedding rings back to my husband and we were just waiting for our youngest daughter to finish her matric exams.  About three weeks into the Course I started to learn a lot about having Peace and how God intended marriage.  So I spoke to my husband (not shouted) to then realise that he also had issues he was dealing with – he felt that the children grew into adults while he was away working.  They had moved on – had jobs etc.  He felt like he didn’t know them anymore.

Since I’ve learnt how to gain God’s peace in my heart and life and my relationship with my husband is on the mend.  About 4 weeks ago he put my wedding rings back on my finger and we are happily working through our marriage. Thank you and may God continue to bless you  This Course has touched my life and given me hope once again!

This Course has assisted me by creating an understanding that God is in control, worrying and stressing does not help at all.  God orders our steps and in His eyes I am perfect. I have drawn closer to the Lord and yes faith without works is dead.  I have learnt to yield to God letting go of my ways and letting God.

From my perspective, The Promise DVD Course worked well for a Ladies Retreat format as the Sessions were divided into  manageable sized time slots which allowed time for activities to be built in before or after the particular DVD Session.  We chose to start on Friday evening at 7pm with Session 1 where there was an impartation from the Holy Spirit through Lindah to the ladies who received a taste and introduction into being a vessel, and to quote one lady it made her “hunger after what was to come”. Saturday morning flowed well with Session 2 and 3 with a tea & leg break in between which gave ladies the opportunity to  choose between personal reflection time or group reflection.

The climax of the day was Session 3 where the practical activity of moulding clay was so effective – we were able to understand what we are like in God’s hands.. We just need to yield to Him and obey His Word.  He is the Potter and we are the clay. The Holy Communion was very healing, as we were reminded once again what the Lord Jesus did on the Cross to redeem us and pick up the broken pieces of our lives and put them together again, creating something more beautiful that reflects HIS goodness and HIS glory. 

This flowed into lunch and free time for the afternoon.  This works well but could also be easily adapted in the day to suit the camp. The teachings received throughout the week-end, were solid and sound, reminding us of once taught truths, opening our eyes to new truths and touching the very depths of ladies hearts. We loved learning about the wedding ceremony and how we, His bride, are to prepare ourselves for the coming of our Groom! To trust and wait expectantly and do so actively.

I found that ladies were ministered to in their seats and the Holy Spirit’s manifest Presence was tangible – our Faithful Father in it all – even through a projected screen!!  The testimonies received bear witness to healing, restoration, acknowledgement of brokenness and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit – the New Wine !!  One of the highlights of The Promise were the testimonies which were perfectly slotted into the Sunday morning – allowing time for personal testimonies from the weekend which was an inspiration to many and the ladies were able to leave the camp with the week-end lingering vividly in their hearts.

I highly recommend The Promise to anyone planning a weekend away with ladies.  The week-end away together bonded the ladies as well as the time of fun, food and fellowship which created an atmosphere of friendship by being available to others.

What I got out of this weekend was that God keeps His promises, but even more than that, He makes promises and we can own those promises. I grew up with a mother who commanded and a father who was silent. The words that still try to echo in my memory: “I don’t make promises because if I can’t keep them I have broken my promise.”  To me that meant, “don’t expect anything”.

At the 2014 Come Away weekend I remember telling Heidi “I’m 52 years old, I shouldn’t be afraid of my mother,” and collapsing in tears. That was the first time I had admitted that I had a big problem. My mother’s influence was such that I would manipulate my husband into doing things that she thought were a good idea. Things that didn’t even include her; things that only involved my household. Its such a sad state of affairs to think that I didn’t value my husband’s  opinion or even my own enough to make up my own  mind. 

A small child needs to be taught and controlled to an extent and I was very well taught. Taught to always obey without question, but that continued into my teens and adulthood, and that led me to believe that my opinions actually didn’t count. Over the years God had freed me from a lot of the chains. This weekend joined the last dots to complete the picture. The picture I see now is one of an adult who can stand her ground and also stand on the promises that a loving Father made. The Father who has a Son who intercedes for me. For ME. I am special enough that my opinions do count.  I count it as absolute joy that what I can tell my Father what I need and that He listens to me. I am special enough that He trusts me to minister to others without having to ask permission first. 

My heart mingled in the water with all the other hearts – they all look exactly the same – some aren’t more special to Father than others. My sisters at the retreat weren’t more or less in the eyes of out loving Father. My cup is empty of the fear of people and their opinions. It is full of gratitude and expectation as to where He is going to lead me next. 

Isaiah 51:12 – I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of a man who will die, And of the son of a man who will be made like grass.

When i decided to attend WOP - things in our home were very much out of peace and in strife and division. The previous month I had left my home with every intention to walk out and start my life over by myself. The difficulties had caused me to lose sight of the big picture and the vision God has of and for us. The course enabled me to 're-focus' and to 're-position' myself and to once again choose the path of forgiveness, mercy, accountability to God and my family. Thank you so much for allowing God to lead you in assisting so many like me to choose Life and the way of Peace. I encourage all woman to attend this seminar and can testify to God's anointing on every lesson to break the yoke of bondage.
