Word From the Director
“I understood that the proper protocol was to approach God’s Presence with love and thanksgiving.” “I desire you all to be close,” replied the Ancient One. [The King had shown His vulnerability concerning His creation on the earth. He knew there was still time for them to change their hearts toward Him.]¹
Learning the ways of Heaven must be easier for those who are ‘seers’ [like Blake Healy, from whom we’ve learned so much through his four speaking engagements]. Unlike most of us, who ‘walk by faith’ and not by sight, as II Corinthians 5:7 says:
“For we walk by faith (we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk), not by sight or appearance.”
II Corinthians 5:7
We are bringing Laurie A. Ditto, who was saved in her 1st Heavenly encounter, after Jesus introduced Himself to her though she was an unbeliever. She’ll talk about that encounter and many others, both in Heaven and in Hell, where she was pulled into a traumatic encounter because of her refusal to forgive (after she was loving and serving the Lord!).
Our focus in this 41st Conference will be ‘preparing for Eternity’ — not from a perspective of preparing to die, but of understanding who we are as the family of God and rightly representing our relationship with the Lord while we live in this time that we are in. II Corinthians 5:10 notes:
“For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each one may receive according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing].”
II Corinthians 5:10
Save the upcoming date of Friday evening, October 23rd, and Saturday, October 24th, our usual 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Laurie has authored Encountering Heaven and The Hell Conspiracy: An Eyewitness Account of Hell, Heaven, and the Afterlife, which are available in our office if you’d like to pick up a copy before our Conference.
We will be returning to CLDI as our event venue, located at 24th S. 29th Street in the Billings downtown area. Feel free to call our office at 406-245-4005 if you want to pick up a brochure or have several to hand out, if you are interested in reading Laurie’s books, and certainly if you have any questions about our upcoming conference. You can also look up the conference times and registration information on our website, steppininfoundation.com.
Hoping to see you there!
Respectfully, Brenda Dianne Hagstrom, Executive Director Steppin’ In Foundation, Inc.
