The two-and-a-half day confab will kick off on Thursday, Feb. 14 with daytime educational seminars and workshops, as well as nightly events. Several Gospel "A-listers" will make appearances throughout the weekend.

No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper
"No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17
Do you know that every time we fear we are doubting at least one of God's promises. Fear moves us into doubt and opens the door for Satan to work. If we don't come against fear in our lives, it will consume us. Verse 14 reassures us, terror shall not come near you.
The 3 great thieves of God's blessing are oppression, fear, and terror. The Lord says these will gather together around you, but they are not of Him. When these things come our way, we do not have to surrender to them. God didn't send them. He is not the God of oppression, fear, and terror.
Whatever your past or present, The Lord will rebuild you and establish you in righteousness. Believe this!
