Since the beginning of the year, Prophetess Shirley Hagan has been diligently at work. With the Lord’s guid- ance she has been preparing for “The Release, An Atmos- phere of Healing,” a women’s conference.
The conference will be held on Saturday, May 27, 2016, 7:30 p.m., at Embassy Suites by Hilton, Downtown Convention Center, 513 South Florida Ave. (33602).
“The Lord placed a man- date upon my heart to bring healing, deliverance, and spiritual wholeness to the Body of Christ. ‘The Release’ was birthed through the guidance of the Holy Spirit as a catalyst to minister to hearts of women,” Prophet- ess Hagan further ex-
plained.
“The Release Conference”
will feature Queen Angela Leonard, who will deliver the message for Young Adult Women, with the emphasis being DIVA (Divinely In- spired Victoriously Ap-
pointed). The conference will also feature Ira Champ Gilroy, Music Director, In- ternational Recording Artist, Renowned Musician and Vo- calist as the Featured Guest Artist.
“The vision of Prophet- ess Shirley Hagan is for “The Release Encounter Tour” to travel to various cities in 2016-2017 and a monthly mentorship class, “Deborah’s Army,” organized and will cater to ministers and empower women to ful- fill their God-ordained des- tiny,” explained Ms. Leonard.
The conference is a free event and is open to the pub- lic.

His Obedience
Lord, I pray that You would give my husband a heart to obey You. Reward him according to his right- eousness and according to the cleanness of his hands (Psalm 18:20). Show him Your ways, O Lord; teach him Your paths. Lead him in Your truth, for You are God of his salvation (Psalm 25:4-5). Make him a prais- ing person, for I know that when we worship You we gain clear understanding, our lives are transformed, and we receive power to live Your way. Help him to hear Your specific instructions to him and enable him to obey them. Give him a longing to do Your will and may he enjoy the peace that can only come from living in total obedience to Your commands.
Obey My voice and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you that it may be well with you. JEREMIAH 7:23
