Attending a Forerunner Ministries conference is not just about sitting through teaching sessions—it’s about stepping into a space where God moves, hearts are transformed, and lives are forever changed.
Whether you’re attending for the first time or organizing your own event, this guide will help you prepare both practically and spiritually for a powerful encounter with God.
Expect More Than Just a Conference
Attending a Forerunner Ministries conference is more than a gathering—it’s a divine invitation to experience the presence of God in a new way. Many attendees walk in expecting to receive teaching and encouragement, but they leave having experienced something far deeper:
- Powerful times of worship and intercession that shift atmospheres
- A fresh revelation of God’s voice speaking personally to them
- Deep encounters with the Holy Spirit that break chains and bring healing
Acts 2:17 – “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
God is still speaking, still moving, and still transforming lives—and your time at a Forerunner conference could be the moment He meets you in a way you never expected.
How to Prepare for Your Conference Experience
1. Come Expecting a Move of God
This is not just a time of learning—it is a time of encounter. People come with heavy burdens, deep questions, and hungry hearts, and God meets them in powerful ways.
- Some experience prophetic words that bring clarity to their calling.
- Others find healing—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
- Many encounter the power of the Holy Spirit in overwhelming ways—some weep, some rejoice, and some are so deeply touched that they physically respond.
2 Chronicles 5:14 – “The priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.”
Come ready to experience His glory, His love, and His power.
2. Dress Comfortably (and Practically!)
Forerunner conferences are spiritually intense but also physically immersive. Here are some practical tips to help you stay comfortable:
- Wear practical clothing – Women may prefer pants instead of skirts since worship, prayer, and ministry times can be dynamic.
- Waterproof makeup – Tears will happen. The Holy Spirit moves deeply, and many experience a release of emotions as God works.
- Stay hydrated – Emotional and spiritual encounters can be physically draining, so bring a water bottle to stay refreshed.
3. Be Ready for Powerful Encounters
For many, this will be one of the most transformative experiences of their spiritual journey. People are often overwhelmed by God’s presence, and their physical responses reflect the depth of what is happening in their spirit.
Ezekiel 1:28 – “Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.”
It’s common to see:
- People falling under the power of the Spirit (often called being “slain in the Spirit”).
- Uncontrollable weeping or joy as God releases healing.
- Deep intercession, where people feel led to pray passionately for others.
Don’t be afraid of what you will feel or experience—simply yield to the presence of God and trust that He is working in you.
Practical Tips for Conference Organizers
If you’re helping to organize a Forerunner event, here are some key things to consider:
- Create a Comfortable Space – Many people will spend time on the floor in prayer and worship, so having a clean, well-prepared space is key.
- Stock up on tissues – Tears of healing, surrender, and breakthrough will happen.
- Provide Light Blankets or Coverings – Many people stay in prayerful stillness for extended periods after receiving impartation.
- Vacuum before and after – Since people will be on the floor, keep the area clean and welcoming.
The atmosphere of a conference is as much about practical hospitality as it is about spiritual readiness. When the space is prepared with excellence and care, attendees can focus on what truly matters: meeting with God.
1 Corinthians 14:40 – “But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”
