"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into HIs wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9
Each of us are unique to our holy God. He created us
in His image. Worthy of His love. We’re a people of
His own ‘special possession’ because He purchased us
with the blood of His own Son. Only because of His
mercy can we be God’s ‘special possession’. Knowing
this and receiving this truth should cause us to be
continually faithful to Him. We have a responsibility
to live a blameless life before our Holy God.
Our lives should radiate the marvelous light into
which God has graciously called us. God calls us into
different ministries because of our uniqueness. We
through our uniqueness love each other to bring glory
to our Father in heaven. He has given us a unique
personality to be used for His glory in ministry.
Our conference this year is based on I Peter 2:9. This
truth gives us our identity in Christ which is an
encouragement for our walk with Him. Lisa Meiners
will lead us into a deeper meaning and understanding
of what God desires from us as His ‘special possession’.
Impacting change in the lives of women through teaching
God’s principles and promises is Lisa’s prayer and heartfelt
desire. Connecting with women right where they are today,
is what she considers pure joy! DEEPER STILL MINISTRIES was founded from Lisa’s heartfelt desire to see every
woman of God not only know the truths of God’s Word,
but to go DEEPER STILL by applying and living out these
important truths. Her hope is that women will take home
truths from God’s Word that they can apply to everyday
life so that real transformation can occur.
She grew up in Lima, OH and studied elementary education at Nyack College in New York. She currently resides
in the Dayton area with her husband Dennis. They have
three children. She loves to take walks with her husband,
share books with her daughter, spend time watching her
boys play sports, and occasionally bake her world-famous
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Lisa spoke at the 2013 Women A.C.T. Conference titled
“Treasured Possession”. With her passion and excitement
of teaching God’s Word we are honored to have Lisa as a
returning speaker. Visit Lisa's website at:http://deeperstillministries.com/index.html
