God’s Heavenly Perspective
Ann here! I remember God showing me once, that during my SUM I would grow, grow and grow some more. I would grow until I was so tall and spindly that I would see everything with a heavenly perspective. He said, however, that I would cry a lot of tears as I grow. Oh yes,…

“It is Finished.”
Dear friends It's Ann here, and we've reached Friday, the very last day of Holy Week and the day where Jesus was eventually taken to his death. This particular year I have been thinking a lot about the visual signs of power in that last moment on the cross: "From noon until three in the…

Keep Playing The Christian Music
Hi friends, Ann here! If there’s one passage in the Bible that brings a SUM moment to life, it’s the one where David dances to the Lord, his wife Michal sees him through a window, and she ‘despises him in her heart’. Gulp — Let’s take a look:

The Enemy Cannot Handle This!
Sunday, September 29th is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. We’ve talked about this Jewish holiday over the years. In fact, the first time I’d ever been made aware of it’s significance was because of a blog post from either Lynn or Dineen. For those who are not familiar or are new to this holiday, a…

MORE From The Summit…
Hey SUM family, Tiffany Here! During the leader's meeting on the Friday morning before the conference I said I would share a spoken word piece during the offering time. I didn't have anything prepared at the time of volunteering. In fact I just heard the words come out of my mouth. You know those moments…

You Are Making New Wine
Hey there SUM family, Tiffany here! We are on the verge of a major breakthrough. I believe that this is both individual and corporate for our SUM community and our families.

A Table Set For Victory

I love gathering with family, eating fantastic food and reflecting on all of the favor, mercy, and goodness of Daddy that has happened for the year.

I Can’t Believe That JUST Happened!
Hey SUM Family, Tiffany here! I have a confession. These last couple months have been really hard! I have struggled with things that I haven't for a while – at least a year. Things I thought were long gone have resurfaced. Things that I just gained victory from – snatching up my money, time, effort,…

You Are Loved: Who’s Really in Control?
Hey there, friends! I hope you enjoyed coloring 2 Cor 5:17. Like I said, I’m particularly fond of that page. And the truth it imparts to us! We are new creations in Christ Jesus. The last part of that verse says, “The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” The Greek word…

You Are Loved: How Do We Live Empowered Lives?
Remember to share what you're learning in the comments. What lie did the Holy Spirit reveal to you? What truth did He show you to replace it with?

Our Place of Authority and Power
Dear friends, two weeks ago I wrote a post about seeing the gold in our spouses and calling it out. Since then the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the power of our words, which seems to dovetail perfectly with what Lynn has been teaching us, specifically about praying with confidence. And that…

Foundations Series: INHERITANCE & IDENTITY, part 2
Hello, SUMites! Yesterday my hubby and I walked through our house to see the changes in just the last week or so. The drywall is up and the rooms are more defined now. As we passed through an unfinished doorway, my husband pointed a written Scripture still exposed there. He asked me, “Is this one…

The Light of Truth
My friends, I want to share a recent revelation with you. It was one of those moments that the truth of something I already knew finally hit all the way home. Have you had one of those moments-a suddenly moment-where something you thought you understood suddenly becomes clearer and more powerful? For me is it…

Conference At Merriman in Garden City, MI
Perhaps for a moment in time, just perhaps, we stood upon holy ground. Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” I bet many of you know…

They Are ALWAYS Listening. Our Authority
This is one of the most important post to read. Please take the time to make it to the bottom. Hugs, Lynn SUMites, after writing the post, Legal Permissions, that I was originally intended to post today, the Holy Spirit strongly impressed upon me that we need to first consider our authority in Jesus. That…

Are You Stepping Out From Under The Umbrella of God’s Protection?
The response to our series is overwhelmingly enthusiastic. It’s becoming crystal clear that God’s people are yearning to know the truth about whom we battle and how to win. I’m so encouraged by your eagerness and your commitment to the process. We need to start with understanding the Theater of War of the Kingdom of…

Fight The Demonic
In fighting against the tide of the demonic there is nothing more powerful than our words. The tongue has the power of life and death -Proverbs 18:21a I literally believe this. So I speak two kinds of words. Words of life – faith, belief, affirmation and truth from the Word of God over my life…
