Questions

1. Can I bring my spouse or kids along? At this time, we don’t have space to accommodate our SOR family and additional family members.

2. What if I can’t make all of the retreat but only some of it? You can either join us for a day pass on Saturday and/or Sunday or if you want to stay at the Home of Peace, you will be required to pay the full fees for the entire retreat as we are not able to shift and change rooms mid-retreat and there is limited space.

3. What happens if I register and pay and I can’t make the retreat for some reason? You can try to find another SOR student to fill your space and have them pay you directly. If so, please connect with Sara or Jen before making this change. Or, the money will be allocated into scholarship funds to help someone who can’t afford it to come and join.

4. Can I stay longer at Home of Peace after the retreat? Unfortunately, at this time that is not possible because we will be doing filming but it is possible to come earlier but please connect with Jen first to make sure we can set that up.

5. Any other questions please reach out to Sara at Sara@Schoolofrevivalfire.com.

Life on Wings

To step into the full measure of the riches awaiting us at the Home of Peace, the only required reading will be Life on Wings (we’d love for you to eventually read the whole book through but for the retreat we are only requiring up to page 140). Do your best and try to read as much as you can leading into the retreat so you will be more aware of the well you are tapping into.

PENTECOSTAL BLESSING

by Carrie Judd Montgomery, March 1885 in Triumphs of Faith 15:3

“Our Home of Peace keeps full most of the time with those who need help either in soul or body. It has proved to be the very gate of heaven to many weary souls; tired Christian workers have here renewed their strength, sick bodies have been healed and hungry hearts have been filled with waves of peace for which they were longing.

While I was absent from Home during the past week holding special meetings in the Salvation Army, an unusual wave of glory visited the Home of Peace and a description of this blessed meeting was sent me in a private letter which I received from my dear husband. I feel constrained to take extracts from this letter for the benefit of my readers as I believe they will be interested to know of the blessings that the Lord is pouring upon this sweet Home so given up to His service. I quote from my husband’s letter as follows:

‘Hallelujah! Last night we had the most wonderful time ever known in Beulah, in fact, ever experienced by any one present. God opened the flood gates of Heaven and poured us out such a blessing that there was not room enough to contain it. He filled us with the joy of Heaven. The Holy Ghost was so noticeably present that we could not stand much more of the glory. We asked, what must Heaven be if God could give us so much of it down here on this earth. It came very unexpectedly upon us; we were not going to have much of a meeting. Miss B--- read the lesson and prayed, and then left us and took Mrs. H--- the sick lady up to bed, but while some of the others were praying the Holy Ghost descended in mighty power melting all of us down under His incoming presence. Such a meeting could not be described and will never be forgotten by any present either here or throughout Eternity, for God so manifestly revealed Himself unto us.

We had wonderful liberty in prayer not only for all Beulah, but for all the people in this neighborhood, and then praying for one and another as the Holy Spirit brought different ones to our remembrance. Special liberty was given in prayer for your mission in Napa Valley, we believe that the Holy Ghost will use you as the channel through which He shall pour the living waters. Keep low; keep out of sight. The Holy Ghost wants clean and mighty vessels. He will do the work, not you. Not by might or by power, but by His Spirit. Oh, how this was realized last night! As we counted up the number present we found that there were just twelve and Jesus in the midst. When it would seem as though the blessing were passing another still mightier wave would come over us, and the exultation and praise that went up to Heaven was wonderful and beautiful.

When I went up to my room I saw it was half past one this morning, and then I felt as though I could not bear to go to sleep. Jesus was so manifestly present. He talked with me and I could see Him in a wonderful, real way, as never before. The Word was illuminated under this might baptism of the Holy Spirit, and I understood it better than ever before. Oh, I am sure that it is our privilege not to be half full, but to be filled to overflowing, and that all the time, and the overflowing rivers will then be poured out to a thirsty, lost world. Well, I can never get through telling you so I will have to wait till you return, if we do not meet in the air before the week is over. Last night many of us felt that a little more of this glory in our souls would have translated us. We were all like a lot of people drunk with new wine of the Kingdom. Hallelujah! Hallelujah.’”
