Reading the SESSION SCHEDULE: CONFIRMATION

When Stephen and I made it to the conference, there was a long line waiting for the doors to open for the conference. We were immediately ENERGIZED!

Even though Stephen and I were tired--we had driven to Dallas after dropping Psalm off after church the night before and didn't get to the hotel until 2:30 a.m.--we were immediately excited about what God had in store for us at this year's Project Gideon conference.

There is ALWAYS an energy amongst the people who attend, a great anticipation that is nearly real enough to see in the air or reach out and touch.

When we finally got seated at our table, there was a copy of the Session Schedule lying on the table in front of every chair.

Here's what the first session said:

"10:00 am-12:00 pm: Bishop T.D. Jakes -- "Why Princes Die"

During the medieval times, a Prince was considered to be the next heir to inherit the throne. Today, much like the princes of the past, many young leaders who sit under their mentors eagerly anticipate inheriting the reigns of leadership. The purpose for identifying the prince is the hope of determining who will be the future king. This decision to anoint princes will always precede the appointment of kings.

Today, we see a massive amount of young people who fall short of their potential and never fulfill their God-given destiny. This session is designed to stop the deterioration and determine the essential criteria to which the young leader's destiny can be realized. During this session, we will determine THE CAUSE that drives you, THE CORE that anchors you, and THE CURE for the frustration of waiting in line. Our entire purpose for developing Project Gideon is because I am of the firm conviction that you are next and what you don't know can hurt you."

When I read that? I knew in my heart that God was going to speak to us about the very things we had/have been praying about.

And He did.
