RESTORATION “STONES”
My Inheritance and Identity as a born-again believer in Christ:
I am a child of God (John 1:12)
I have peace with God (Rom 5:1)
The Holy Spirit lives in me (1 Cor 3:16)
I have access to God’s wisdom; all I need to do is ask (James 1:5)
I am not condemned by God (Rom 8:1)
I am Christ’s friend (John 15:15)
I am chosen by God, holy and dearly loved (Col 3:12)
I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16)
I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength I need (Phil 4:13)
My needs are met by God (Phil 4:19)
I am free from any condemning charges against me (Rom 8:31)
I cannot be separated from the love of God (Rom 8:35)
God is my refuge and strength, a very present, well-timed, help when I’m in distress
or trouble. Therefore, I will not fear. (Ps 46:1, 2a)
I do hear God’s voice when He talks to me and I obey Him (John 10:27, 3-5 & 14)
God knows everything about me and He STILL loves me unconditionally (Ps 139: 1-6,
13-18)
I am God’s masterpiece, created to do good works that he already pre-planned for
me (Eph 2:10)
I don’t worry about anything; I pray about everything. I tell God what I need and
thank Him for all He has done. That why I experience peace that doesn’t make sense.
His peace guards my heart and mind as I live in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7 NLT)
I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me (I John 5:18)
The Lord is with me and will watch over me where ever I go ( Gen. 28:15
Prep ahead: - Pick out an area in your home (or in the location from where you will be watching the conference) that has an open space --it should have enough space for you to walk around in a big circle with no hindrances.In that same area, also find a large piece of furniture (like a bookcase, sofa, or coffee table) or maybe an altar, kneeling bench or stairs in the front of a church sanctuary.This furniture or stairs will represent the ‘temple of God’.
- if you have time, read through the “Restoration Stones” sheet and mark the ones that really ‘speak’ to you.
TEACHING #2 - SUZI

Song 1 - Water dance silk or water flags or water streamer.
Begin in prayer to allow the Holy Spirit to wash over you until you feel ready to break out into prayer as you worship with the first song.

Submit to God's plans and purpose for your ministry, family, work, friends, neighbors, etc.Stand in the authority given to us to come against the plans and schemes against us and our family, drawing boundaries and proclaim the power of the Cross, the Blood of Jesus and His name that is all authority.We do this, not by might nor by our power, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Prep ahead:
My prayer for us is that we would allow the Holy Spirit to shine His light in and through us to reveal God's glory into this world.First in us to clear away anything that would keep us from being God's pure and holy vessel.Second to march in our Lord's victory into the enemy's territory to lead others from darkness into His glorious light and everlasting life.

Song One w/Action One:
This is a time to act as those “gatekeepers and guardians” in the spirit that Pastor Will spoke of - the worshipers who protected the wellbeing of the city. Pray and Praise through the lyrics for your own life, family, community. Perhaps, if you are able, you can do this on your knees or sitting to represent the posture of your heart.
I look around and all I see
Are burning buildings, barren trees
Hopelessness is starting to wreak havoc
Son of Man, I know You see
The deepest depth unknown to me
You have planted seeds among the ashes
You rebuild, You restore all that’s broken
From the ruins
You redeem, You return all that’s stolen
From Your children
That’s what You do
So be still my anxious heart
All that’s gone is never lost
Emmanuel is here and He is faithful
So I won’t let my praises stop
I’ll sing it from these rubbled rocks
I know You are good and You are able
You rebuild, You restore all that’s broken
From the ruins
You redeem, You rеturn all that’s stolen
From Your children
That’s what You do
Song Two w/Actions Two & Three:
When the second song comes on this is the time for Action Two to Put On the shawl or scarf that represents the mantle “receive the restoring ministry.”
Once you reverently receive this calling, it is time for Action Three. Create your symbolic cornerstone. You may write this date on it to commemorate God founding the restoration you are contending for. You may write Names, place, or words that represent the things you are standing in watch over. Whatever your section of the Wall is that you have been assigned to stand watch over, write, or draw, something that represents it. If you have time, you may “Lay the cornerstone” by placing it in the center of your room or space. Then you can anoint it if you wish, before rejoining worship.
