Dear Captivating Women, 

We’re looking forward to our time together for the Captivating Advanced Conference more than we can say!  Now I know you know what to expect in preparing.  But I just want to offer a "heads up," remember warning!  Movements towards God - towards the life Jesus has for us are opposed.  So, prior to the conference things may erupt in your life in ways to either keep you from coming or to take you out while you’re here.

Be on the alert.  Unusual things may come up.  Distracting things usually do come up.  The possibilities are endless.  There’s the job, the children are acting out... perhaps it’s a marital flare up, a past addiction revisits, a loan gets rejected... heck, you get rejected!  The check book doesn’t balance, the Nordstrom bill comes, your upper left molar is suddenly very sensitive to heat, your pants won’t button, there’s a freak weather front, the car’s leaking oil... your child’s teacher wants a conference, there’s something wrong with the dog and you’re waiting for the results of your annual blood work!  Oye!  It all may simply be warfare - to keep you from pressing in and receiving what God has for you.

Hold fast!  If it’s warfare, resist it (James 4:7). If it’s not warfare... be strong, courageous, engaged and walk with God. In either case, be alert, fully armored and alive!

And let us offer again a bit of guidance as you join us in prayer for this conference. Pray:

  • For your own heart. That God would prepare it for what He has for you to receive (Proverbs 4:23, Mark 4—especially vs. 8 & 20, Matthew 5:8)
  • That you would give God PERMISSION to do in your heart at the retreat what He so desires for you
  • For the supernatural protection of your family leading up to and during the retreat 
  • For your travel to and from the Ranch for the retreat 
  • For every detail that God desires at the Captivating Advanced 

We have included the Daily prayer for you to have and encourage you to join with us daily in prayer. As you pray allow your heart to direct you in personalizing the prayer for yourself and for this particular event. 

We also strongly suggest that you go over your notes from the Captivating Conference(s) you’ve attended... reread your journal entries... remember all that God said and did in those times. This will help to prepare your heart for all God has for you in our upcoming time together!  I know Jesus has marvelous things in store for each and every one of us!

Please pray daily as we prepare for what we most deeply hope will be one of the most significant weekends in your journey with God.

We can't wait.

For the Kingdom,

Stasi - for the Wild at Heart Team
