Belonging and Worth. Psalm 139, 13-16. Spirit, listen to what your Father says about you, how he made you, how he sees you. Father says about you, how he made you, how he sees you. David was talking to God about his life when he said in Psalm 139, 13-16, you created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body, Spirit, come to be blessed by your Father and Creator.

According to God's Word. You are very special created, crafted and designed by God, your Father. He planned for you before. He said let there be light. You are no accident, not conceived of the will of man. He reached down and he chose a man and a woman's womb to place you in. You did not have to exist. He wanted you to be. He willed you into existence. You are welcome in his world. God has been waiting for millennia for the particular point in time when you were conceived. He smiled that day you are one of his best ideas. He chose every pair of your 23 pairs of chromosomes and every one of your more than 10,000 genes. He was pleased when his plan came together as he wove you together in your mother's womb. He chose the day and the time you would come into the world.

You are unique, one of a kind. There is nobody else like you. Spirit, know that God celebrates his marvelous design of you. He made your inmost being. The essence of who you are is worthy of praising him because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Every detail of how your body is shaped and formed, how every organ and every cell fits together, is the result of God's thoughts. Every facet of your personality is the result of his thoughts. You are beloved and you are beautiful. God celebrates his marvelous design of you. You have something to give your world that no other person has. Your family and your community of faith need the deposit that God has placed in your life. They will not be complete without you. As you shine in your unique display of his image in you, Be blessed in the name of God, your creator, who made you and formed you.

We're excited to tell you about our Ruach Journey Conference that's coming soon. It will be March 5th through 7th at Sandy Cove Conference Center in Maryland in 2025.

Speaker 1: 3:27

And for the first time, we're going to be offering two tracks at the same time. You can either come and be a part of the beginner track, which is for people that are new to the idea of Ruach Journey, or be a part of the advanced track for those of you that have either attended a conference before or have done the Ruach Journey study. That's available on our website.

Speaker 3: 3:45

So if you want to come be a part of that beginner track, we're going to give you the foundation for the teachings of the Ruach Journey. We'll be talking about the biblical foundation for blessing your spirit, how to live from your position and identity in Christ, understanding your unique design. This will give you a rich introduction to this framework. If you want to go deeper in this advanced track, then we will dive even deeper into these topics. We will explore new connections between the spirit, soul and body. We will learn about blessing the land and the impact that land can have on us. We will also talk about how to heal the wounded spirit. This advanced track will be an opportunity to focus on building what you've already learned. So we hope that you will join us for one of these tracks.
