About this Conference: “From Slavery to Sonship”
Billings is an Exhorter city in the Exhorter state of Montana. That means that all the weaknesses of an Exhorter are doubled, as are all the strengths of that great gift. Throughout history God has repeatedly tapped the Exhorter gift when He needed a leader of world changing caliber. Unfortunately, the devil has too. Central to effectively unpacking the Exhorter gift is the concept of sonship. When an Exhorter understands the power of walking in sonship, God can groom him or her to be a leader with an immense fathering skill.
While not every individual in an Exhorter community will have that gift, everyone in an Exhorter community needs to understand the pressures the Exhorter gift brings on your pilgrimage and the extraordinary potential for walking as sons that you have. In this seminar, Arthur Burk from Plumbline Ministries will be exploring the immense potential for leadership, which this Exhorter city and state have, as well some specific steps that will help that potential become reality.
The burden of sonship is on us, not on God. He has a perfect grasp of fathering and is able to produce leaders of leaders with ease. However, much of what He offers us we either ignore or misunderstand because we do not know how to position ourselves as wise sons. Walking in sonship creates an exponential growth curve. The initial steps represent a hard course correction for those of us already at midlife. However, every time we effectively embrace one facet of sonship, it allows us to recognize and take advantage of so much more that our Father is making available to us. Eventually, the amount of change in our life vastly outpaces our investment of effort. So if you are experiencing more futility than fulfillment in your daily life, we invite you to an intentionally painful event where you can exchange your unproductive pain for some pain that will give you very good return on investment.
Sonship is a gender-neutral term. All believers need to know God from the perspective of both genders. We are all to know Him as the Bride of Christ (the female role) and equally well as a son (the male role). The seminar will be valuable for women as well as men. After all, Montana sent the first woman to Congress, and well they should have! Leadership is a core Exhorter quality, given to you by God.
