May God enlarge the boundaries of your heart (Ps. 119:32)! A glimpse into the future Kingdom Freedom conferences, workshops, extravaganzas Now that we have the building blocks we have discovered in this book, what might we build? The following possibilities excite me and make me want to explore them. We could teach and practice together the following: 1. What faith energized by love looks like 2. The role of heightened Kingdom emotions 3. How New Creation Celebration Replacing Emotions writes messages on our hearts
4. Releasing stored cellular memories 5. Deliverance from demons through prayers that heal the heart This several-day conference, or three-month series, would entail guided sessions utilizing the tools from this book. The goal is to see people set free and delivered of emotional, spiritual and physical bondages in their lives. Working through this book and video series with friends and family makes a powerful twelve-week small group training experience. Heightened Kingdom emotions and personal transformation strike me as similar to revivals of the past such as the Holiness, Pentecostal, Charismatic and Laughing revivals, to name a few. If we instruct, and then lead people into hearing and seeing and feeling God, we would ensure that the heightened Kingdom emotions came from one s spirit and not their souls. Since we are defining, delineating and purifying the process of intense emotional encounters flowing from our spirits, could we expect even greater results than in previous revivals? Could this usher in a move of God? This book and DVD teaching can serve as training tools to precipitate such a Freedom Workshop. I challenge you to master these truths and then explore leading groups into experiencing them, with the goal of promoting Kingdom freedom in people s hearts and lives!
