Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord: As the children of Israel were fleeing from the Egyptians, Almighty God was with them and for them and showed Himself strong on their behalf.  He stood between His children and their enemies and did the impossible – He parted the Red Sea.  In His love and mercy He made a way for them where there was no way.  Hear the stories of impossibilities made possible by a powerful God Who cares immensely for the welfare of His children.

The Secret Place of the Most High:  How do we dwell with The Most High God in a way that we discover His heart, His devotion, His unfathomable love for His children?  Does it just happen because we have accepted Jesus as our Savior? No.  The Secret Place is discovered through relationship.  It is discovered by seeking to know the One in whom you have believed.  The path to the Secret Place is pebbled with prayer, study, worship and a desire to know Him.  It is found by recognizing God’s presence in all things that concern us and then bowing to His sovereignty and holiness.

Finding Light in the Darkness:  What a life-changing message this is!  When we begin to understand that the dark places in our life obscure hidden treasures of the Lord, our perspective of the difficulty has the opportunity to change.  When our perspectives change, our heart changes.  And when our heart changes and is made pliable in the Hands of the Potter, amazing things begin to happen.  We experience His Truth in ways never before imagined.  Our walk with Him takes on new power, new purpose.  We are forever changed to love and serve Him more. 

Under the Shadow of His Wing:  I want you to imagine a severe thunderstorm billowing overhead.  The wind kicks up, the earth grows dark and fear grips your heart.  Did I mention you were on a farm?  I want you to get a picture of a mother hen calling to her babies and then visualize the little biddies scurrying about in the blowing dust, wanting desperately to answer their mother’s call.  What happens when they find each other?  The mother hen lifts her beautifully strong wing and her babies run beneath this perfect shelter from the storm.  There are many scriptures that refer to the shadow of God’s wing.  It is a place of refuge, a shelter from the storm.  This sacred place is very near to His heart.  Learn how easy it is to abide there, to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Illuminating the Evidence of God:  In Exodus 27:20, the Lord instructs Moses, “And you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.”  This scripture is in reference to caring for the golden lampstand in the Tabernacle.  It is important to note that this lampstand is a type of Christ for the children of God.  The oil that burned there was and is symbolic of the Holy Spirit.  Only the purest oil could be used to light the golden lampstand in the tabernacle.  This oil was obtained by gently pounding the olives in a bowl, thus releasing the oil.  As Christians, we are also instructed to shine the Light of Christ through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.  The purest ‘oil’ comes from the pounding of trials, sorrow and despair.  When we learn to recognize God’s presence and His eternal purposes in our difficult days, the Light of Christ will shine bright and pure through us into a hurting world. Our faith will be strengthened and we will begin to understand the very essence of Who God is. 

May You be Covered by the Dust of the Rabbi:  Doesn’t this thought make you smile?  This is actually a Jewish blessing.  In the Jewish tradition, young boys were immersed into the tenets of their faith.  It was a huge honor for the Rabbi to ask you to walk with him so that he could share his knowledge and inspire you to dig deeper in your understanding.  I can picture the Rabbi with his long, gray beard strolling arm-in-arm with his young student, eyes wide with wonder as the Rabbi explains the incredible mysteries of God.  The walk wasn’t a quick jaunt across the street. No.  It was a loving stroll that lasted as long as the questions kept coming…dust and all.  Do you desire a relationship with Jesus that takes you on long, loving strolls through His Word?  Do you want to learn more about how to devour your bible?  Learn how to develop an intimate relationship with Almighty God that will change your life forever.

Drinking of the Fountain of Living Water:   Are you thirsty?  Is your heart dehydrated from all the cares of the world?  Do you feel like you are living in a dry and weary land?  You are not alone.  But neither do you need to stay parched and withered.  You can have joy unspeakable, peace that passes all understanding.  You have the fountain of Living Water at your fingertips - you need only to drink - drink of the Living Water.

These are just a few suggestions for speaking topics.  Knowing that these messages work well in conjunction with one another may help you plan the theme for a ladies retreat or conference or, singularly, they are sure to encourage and inspire your ladies on their journeys through these difficult days.

I am also happy to create a new message that will embrace the purpose behind your event.  You will find me to be very flexible and dedicated to meeting your needs.
