Bible Conference 2025 – Jeniffer Dake – Patience Not Permission

Main Session #13 - Friday, August 8, 9:00 AM
Jeniffer Dake: "Patience Not Permission"

Join Jeniffer Dake for her final powerful message as she challenges believers to understand God's timing and find the areas where we might be rejecting God's call on our lives. Drawing from 2 Peter 3:14-18 and the story of Moses on the mount of transfiguration, this session explores why God's patience isn't permission to delay our obedience and growth in faith.

About the Speaker: Jeniffer Dake brings over 25 years of inspiring audiences nationwide with her candid and humorous speaking approach. With a Master's degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary and experience as former adjunct faculty at Taylor University, she combines deep biblical knowledge with practical application and passionate delivery that calls people to action.

Conference Theme: Kingdom Living: Awaken Hope - This final session from Dake examines how Kingdom citizens must "make every effort" to grow in grace and knowledge, understanding that God is a waymaker and promise keeper who qualifies us through Jesus, not the law.

Scripture Focus: 2 Peter 3:14-18 - "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity."

Dake powerfully illustrates how God made a way for Moses to reach the Promised Land through grace, not law, when Jesus was transfigured on the mountain. She challenges listeners to stop waiting to be rescued and instead take responsibility to strengthen themselves in the Lord, drawing from David's example when he "strengthened himself in the Lord" during his darkest hour.

The message includes passionate calls for continued growth after Bible Conference, practical ways to stay rooted in God's Word, and a stirring challenge for The Salvation Army to remain bold in proclaiming Jesus while meeting human needs "in His name."

Recorded live at Lake Junaluska Conference & Retreat Center, North Carolina, during the 73rd annual Southern Bible Conference hosted by The Salvation Army Southern Territory.
