As I said in the email that I sent you, God has really been working on my heart. He’s been drawing me closer to Him, and showing me what He would have me do to best serve the people that He is sending me.

So, I made this short video to share with you the things He’s been sharing with me.

I’ll be waiting to hear your thoughts…

God Bless!

Ameerah

P.S. Please excuse my BAD editing! This is my first video and I got a bit excited in some parts, so my 5 minute video ended up being 22 minutes…I had to go back and edit out some of my “excitement” !

I shrunk the file size, so the video should play more smoothly. But, the quality has seriously deteriorated. Sorry about that. Still, if it gets choppy, just pause it and let the download catch up. God Bless!

Part of our four day conference is a two part workshop on one of the areas that I received the most feedback on as I’ve been planning the conference. When I sought God in prayer, it is also the topic that He put on my heart to bring before you all - Going Before the Throne: Naked, Unafraid, and Unashamed.

Many times there are walls that we have built up between us and God that we don’t even realize are there. The workshop will address those walls and show you how to begin breaking them down so that you can build a closer relationship with God.

This is just a 5 minute sneak peek of the workshop to see what everyone thinks so far.

I look forward to reading your insights and ideas.

God Bless!

Ameerah Lewis

Since this is a new way of doing Christian conferences, a lot of people have questions on exactly how the conference will work. I wanted to create a place where people can post their questions and have them answered.

Here are a few of the top questions that I have gotten so far:

How does it all work?

For the workshops and seminars, each day you will receive a special link to the website where the conference will be held. You will be able to watch (videos) or download (mp3s) that day’s session right from your computer.

When there are multiple sessions, you will receive a link to each individual session so that you can access each one when you’re ready. Even if you don’t finish the sessions that day, they will remain available for you to experience at your convenience.

UPDATE:

I have updated the instructions for how to participate in the conference. For more detailed and up to date instructions, visit: http://conference08.hem-of-his-garment-bible-study.org/

I am in another country. Can I still participate in the conference?

Yes. The beauty of technology is that, since the conference will be online, you will be able to participate no matter where you are. Even the live webcast will be fully accessible by phone and online.

You will be able to participate in each part of the conference no matter where you are.

There are no times for the sessions. When does each one start?

Outside of the teleconference, each session will be available 24 hours a day to those who are registered for the conference. On the morning of each session, you will receive an email with a link to the web page hosting that days conference. You can start and stop the sessions whenever you want.

You can come back and go through each session as many times as you want even weeks and months down the road. They will remain available to all participants indefinitely.

The time of the webcast is 8pm Eastern Time on Thursday June 5th.

What format will the sessions be available in?

The sessions will be available in both video and audio formats. The videos will include slides to help you follow along with the sessions as well as a free Reaching for the Hem journal to help you get the most out of what you are learning. The audio formats are available for free mp3 download to all registered participants.

Even though I try to be thorough, I’m sure that I missed something. So, if you have a question that I didn’t cover, please ask. There is a good chance that someone else is wondering the same thing …

As Christians, we are often so busy trying to hide our faults and out pain, that we never take our “Perfect Christian Mask” off - even for God. But how can you have intimacy without honesty?

Ameerah Lewis is a devoted wife, and the founder of www.hem-of-his-garment-bible-study.org, a web ministry dedicated to helping Christians fall back in love with their Heavenly Father through the Love Letter He has written to us – The Bible.

A sexual abuse survivor and daughter of a father who struggled with substance abuse, Ameerah often doubted if God existed. It was not until college that she discovered the love and peace that came through Christ. And, once she finally met Him, she was hungry for more. Ameerah became a devout student of God’s Word and His Spirit. She read every book and went to every conference that she could. She was hooked!

Trained as an educator, Ameerah has used her love for teaching to glorify God as a Bible school teacher for both adults and small children. She is also the author of the Spirit filled Bible study program, Becoming God’s Masterpiece, that guides Christians step by step into developing a closer relationship with God.

“A true sign of intimacy with God is when you can go to God and say - ‘I need help. I fear. I hurt. And, You are the only one I can tell because You are the only one who can help me.’” - Ameerah Lewis

Do you feel too unworthy or afraid to come to God as you are? Are you afraid that He is not pleased with you? Tell Ameerah what you would like her to cover in your free Christian workshops on getting real with God. She is waiting to hear from you…

We all want to go deeper in God, but what exactly does it take? Will the Holy Spirit just over take us and force us into a relationship with Him, or do we have to make a conscious effort to develop that intimacy that we so desire?

Ms. Nikki Jourdan is an inspirational writer and minister. Her expertise is in spiritual growth and personal development, and she specializes in empowering women that have been abused.

She explains:

“I grew up in a household of all (7) forms of abuse along with supernatural demonic activity. Jesus Christ of Nazareth was introduced and received by age 11. His Supernatural Presence, Love and Power has since transformed , transcend, and set free my spirit, mind, soul and body. I know and love Jesus with all my heart: He is my greatest Wealth.”

Ms. Jourdan’s motto in life is, “Choose Love. It looks good on you.”™ She has written such eBooks as, When God Becomes Lord, 100 Prosperity Promise Sayings, and Healing and Deliverance, a reference manual to be studied with the leading of the Holy Spirit and Bible.

Ms. Jourdan’s goal is to build up other women to be ambassadors for Christ and leave legacies within the kingdom of God.

But she challenges us all, men and women alike, to make a conscious CHOICE to develop a more intimate relationship with God.

“I make you my Lord today and for the rest of my life, I choose to renew my mind and have the mind of Christ, I choose to love you more and more and more each day, For you are My Lord; You my Truth; You are my Way.” - Nikki Jourdan, When God Becomes Lord
