Colour Conference 2010 - Opener

Bobbie Houston: Thursday 18th March 2010 at the opening of Colour Conference Sydney.

  • Heaven believes in you and so do we (being Sisters in the hood)
  • Psalm 121 (AMP) A Song of Ascents: 1[a]I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]--From whence shall my help come? 2My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
  • Psalm 91: "HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]" Our days are full of peril but His hope is an anchor to our soul (Heb 6: 19-20)
We are encouraged in His word to gather by His Spirit. Zech 4:6.

Jesus said that "The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity], 19To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day [a]when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound." (Luke 4:17-21).

God's thoughts and plans for us; Jeremiah 29:11 (Amp) "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome."

Bobbie encouraged us to give due diligence to what is in our hands, i.e. do diligently whatever you are doing, whether raising kids, working, socialising etc.

Ps 133: Where there is unity, God has commanded blessing. Unity, firstly, to His Spirit and secondly to one another. Psalm 133 uses the analogy of Aaron, the first high priest, where the anointing of oil drenched his clothing, causing it to cover his entire body. Aaron was literally covered from head to toe in the oil (representing the spirit of God and anointing).
