2022 provided ideas on current events. This educational summit covered topics
related to families and personal choices. On the evenings of Wednesday,
September 14 and Friday, September 16, the room was filled with praise and
worship by the FBA choir. On Thursday, September 15 and Friday, September 16,
our morning sessions were started with praise by the FBA Praise Team. Thank you
for setting the tone for the summit.
Many
sessions started and/or ended with prayer. Anne Graham Lotz began with a prayer
for the attendees that as we are given information, we would receive this
information. A prayer for Your truth and for eyes to see what is going on
around us. Anne challenged our focus with one example and one Bible teaching.
The example centered on receiving a package wrapped in brown paper. Listen to
her session for the complete example. Her question, “are we focusing on the
brown package or the treasure inside?”
Anne,
the founder of AnGeL Ministries, continued her challenge with the six “woes” in
Isaiah chapter 5:8, 11, 18, 20, 21, 22 and the answer in chapter 6. When crises erupt look up, look up to
the Lord, John 12, Jesus is on the throne. We need a fresh vision of Christ!
When we pray, we are appealing to the highest authority in the university. No
one is higher. No problem that we individually or as a nation encounter is
greater than He. Isaiah 6:5, We all need to LOOK UP!!! Jesus, bring to my mind
the sin that is hindering Your plans for my life. What have I been
missing? View Anne Graham Lotz heart
sharing message and read her book Stormingthe Gates of Heaven. I purchased Anne’s book at The Book Store at FirstBaptist Church Atlanta.

“As long as I am your Governor, we will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with you to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and protect the God-given potential of each and every Georgian who calls the Peach State home.” Brian Kemp in the Forward, pg 3, The Church’s Moment, by Cole Muzio. This is a Georgia and national issue.
We stand together, secular and church groups, single people and families, with one goal in mind; to make America a country for ALL people. We are in a spiritual battle for our families, our children, Isaiah 37:20.
