2025 Day Retreat

Session 1 Declarations and Prophetic Experience

You are truly loved

Made in the image of a perfect King

He looks at you and wouldn’t change a thing…..

Jesus has rewritten your story. 

He has removed the labels this world has tried to put on you. 

Repeat after me:

-I am God’s chosen treasure

-I am a priestess

-And I rule over nations

-I am set apart as one of God’s devoted

-You have called me out of the dark lies into Your marvelous light

-You claim me as Your very own

-You did this so that I would broadcast o all the world that I am One with Him

 Amen

Imagine you are going about your day

Doing your regular routine 

Maybe you’re getting ready for work

Or cooking a meal

Doing laundry 

Driving in the car

Or dropping your kids off at school.

You are going about your everyday life

And suddenly, you run into/see? Jesus. 

Jesus is not avoiding you

He is going out of His way 

To meet with you

Why? 

Because you have been chosen

And

Because He desires to be One with You. 

You are startled by His presence

And yet

At the same time

It brings you comfort. 

In that comfort

He confronts you 

About some truths in your life

You are jarred 

But just for a moment

Why? 

Because

shame 

has suddenly collided 

with His love

You realize

He does not speak of these things to shame you

But to set you free

He looks at you 

And he smiles 

He desires that you see yourself

As He sees you. 

He has come to restore you back to the time of Eden,

When God and His creation frolicked about their day together

With love and abandon 

He is here to remind you

That One with Him 

has always been His plan and design for you

Satan has also been going out of his way

But is has plan has been to kill, steal and destroy you. 

The truth is, 

you never needed to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil

to be like God. 

You ARE already like God

Made in His image and likeness. 

The truth is

you are completely loved

The truth is

He looks at you 

And He is not ashamed

Session 2 Declarations and Prophetic Experience

At the well in Samaria 

We saw Jesus reveal himself as the Living Water.

Now we are at a wedding in Cana 

Sharing in the joy of a union 

That would have been formed by love.

This wedding celebration 

Can be a representation of Gods desired union 

To be One with Him. 

We are His bride 

And He is our bridegroom. 

Just like every marriage should be …. 

It has been birthed in love

But there was a problem 

That needed a solution 

So that we could be One with Him. 

On our own

We could never fulfill the law

And be One with Him. 

Could the stone water jars 

At the wedding in Cana resemble the law?

Could the water that filled the jars 

Represent Jesus the Living Water 

Who came to fulfill the law

That we could never do?

Could this be a foreshadowing of the cross…

Jesus fulfilling the law on the cross 

So, that His desire 

To be One with Him 

Would be fulfilled. 

Jesus did not ladle Himself out 

Instead, He poured Himself out on the cross 

And chose you.

This was done

So, Gods desire to have you

As His bride

Could be fulfilled

COMMUNION

On our own we could never fulfill the law and be One with Him. 

God sent His son Jesus from heaven to earth as the solution.

God sent His son Jesus to the cross as the solution. 

God resurrected Jesus on the 3rd day as the solution. 

God seated Jesus at His right hand as the solution. 

Jesus was the solution.

Jesus still is the solution

And Jesus will always be the solution.

Until we are reunited with Him at the wedding supper of The Lamb, let us worship Jesus by celebrating Him through the act of communion. 

REPEAT AFTER ME

I take You in and acknowledge I am One with You. 

(Eat the bread)

We take the cup of wine.

This wine that represents your blood and God's new covenant with us.

REPEAT AFTER ME

I take You in and acknowledge I am One with You. 

(Drink the juice)

REPEAT AFTER ME

I believe it is finished.

I am One with Him.

I believe The Fountain of Living Water is One with Me.

I believe from me flows a river of living water.

I believe.

Amen.

Session 3 Declarations and Prophetic Experience

Go back to Samaria with me and recall the expression on Jesus’s face as he revealed to you HE IS THE LIVING WATER.

Travel to Cana with me where we celebrated a wedding and THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB.

JESUS THE LIVING WATER POURED OUT FOR YOU.

Now

Imagine yourself standing at the water’s edge. 

It’s the Jordan river and the time to cross has come. 

At its most narrow point it is approximately 50 feet wide. 

At its broadest point it is approximately 1 mile wide. 

At its deepest it is 10 feet. 

The Jordan is what stands between you and your promise

You look at the water and wonder if it’s too deep.

Can you make it across?

Your eyes begin to survey the banks of the Jordan for an easier entry point.

You look to the left 

And then to the right.

Your eyes begin to scan across the water looking for the shortest distance across.

You look down at your feet

It appears you are at the perfect place to cross to the other side. 

You lift your gaze and your eyes scan across the water and eventually arrive on the other side to your land of promise.

You look at yourself and are reminded by the garments that you are wearing that you are: 

-a royal priesthood.

-a chosen people

-a holy nation

-God’s special possession.

You are the priestess that will carry the ark of the covenant across.

BUT

Unlike the 4 or more priests, it took to carry the ark of the covenant across the Jordan.

You realize you have become the living ark that carries the Covenant Keeper himself.

You have become One with Him.

You have become the convent keeper.

You have become the promise.

NOW

All you have to do is believe

Believe in Him

Believe in the promise

Believe in you

YOU ARE READY

With a deep breath in

And a deep breath out

See yourself again at the Jordan.

See yourself as the priestess

See yourself as the One with Him

See yourself as the covenant keeper

See yourself as the promise

NEXT

Take one step forward

As you do …the water begins to recede.

The thing between you and your promise … no longer exists.

You’ve taken your first step… but there are many more before you get to the other side

Take another step. 

You keep walking and find yourself in the middle

You stop for a moment, and you look back at those still on the bank

You look at their faces

Some show signs of awe and wonder

Others show signs of fear and unbelief

Tears of joy and relief streaming down the face of others

Some wrestling with shame and unworthiness

Others ready to join you

You look forward and wonder if you should keep going?

Do you stand and wait as the Levitical priests did so that those that belong to the promise can cross to the other side, too?

You can

You can also give them a nod, or a gesture to let them know it’s safe to enter

Or maybe your style is more like a big wave inviting them to join you on the other side. 

The wave or the nod serves as a reminder that: 

they too, ARE

Priestess’s and priests

they too, ARE

The covenant keepers

they too, ARE

The promise

they too, ARE

One with Him

In Samaria you met with Jesus - THE LIVING WATER 

who changed your past and calls you priest, loved and chosen.

THE LIVING WATER has taken residence in you 

and now you are a spring of living water. 

REMEMBER - You ARE One with Him.

In Cana you were a guest at a wedding and witnessed Jesus turn water into wine. 

You took communion representing the new covenant of the cross. 

You are the representation of the new covenant.

You are the new covenant. 

REMEMBER - You ARE One with Him.

At the Jordan you stood at the water’s edge, 

And you stepped in as the priestess. 

You no longer carry the ark of the covenant

You are the ark who carries the covenant. 

You are the covenant keeper

You are the promise

You ARE One with Him!
