God’s Personal Presence is Objective and Observable
April 08, 2018 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBWe have not been this way before, and though we can encourage one another along the way, each of us develops a unique relationship with God that may or may not be able to be confirmed by a response in the soul. In other words, we may not “feel” any closer to God, or “understand” or learn more about Him, and He may not change our outward activities as part of our resting in His Presence. Nevertheless, we know that since knowing us is His idea, He is both drawing us to Him and removing barriers...
God’s Personal Presence is Active In Our Lives
April 01, 2018 22:00 - 32 minutes - 29 MBRather than focusing inward to know ourselves, we focus inward, where our spirit is, to know God. Introspection is paying attention to our self, our soul, whereas acknowledging and experiencing His Personal Presence is paying attention to God. As we focus our attention internally on Him, we may or may not notice what activity we are participating in in the natural realm. In this way we can carry on daily activities and still maintain soul-spirit communion with God. This experience of living o...
God's Personal Presence Refreshes
March 25, 2018 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBGod’s Personal Presence is Active Rather than focusing inward to know ourselves, we focus inward, where our spirit is, to know God. Introspection is paying attention to our self, our soul, whereas acknowledging and experiencing His Personal Presence is paying attention to God. As we focus our attention internally on Him, we may or may not notice what activity we are participating in in the natural realm. In this way we can carry on daily activities and still maintain soul-spirit communion wi...
God’s Personal Presence is a Shelter
March 18, 2018 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBThe more we get to know God, the more we are able to recognize and appreciate His protection and care. His presence provides a refuge from the criticism, rejection and slander that often comes our way, not by preventing it, but by providing a safe place to receive healing. God’s Personal Presence is a Resort The personal presence of God within provides a place of refreshment and rejuvenation. Whenever we are stressed, overworked or weary, His Spirit refreshes and restores our soul, just as ...
Enjoying the Manifestation of God’s Personal Presence
March 11, 2018 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.3 MBGod's Personal Presence is Rest When Moses was assigned his ministry (to free God’s people), He asked God for someone to go with Him. God could have assigned all the resources and power of the universe. Yet He promised Moses two things: My Presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. Not power, not wealth, not creativity or organization (though He did provide these in different ways as needed). But Rest, or the freedom from self-effort. God’s Personal Presence is a Shelter The mor...
Intimate Communion With God Occurs Within Our Spirit And Our Soul
March 04, 2018 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBRecognizing that intimate communion with God on a personal level occurs within us, within our spirit and soul, part of our task will be to lessen, and eventually be able to ignore, the “noise” we live with on a daily basis. This is not necessarily just our earthly situation; the activity in our soul, our thoughts, emotions and decisions, all need to be brought under the control of our spirit (which is already under the control of His Spirit). Our goal is to be able to recognize His slightest ...
God’s Personal Presence Involves Cultivating A Quiet Lifestlye
February 25, 2018 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBThe activity in our soul, our thoughts, emotions and decisions, all need to be brought under the control of our spirit (which is already under the control of His Spirit). Our goal is to be able to recognize His slightest whisper or moving in any realm—spirit, supernatural or natural. To be able to do that, the activity in each realm must be neutralized, where it is neither positive or negative, and does not affect our ability to know God. As you devote time and attention to knowing God, it is...
God Makes Himself Known To All Sons Through His Personal Presence
February 18, 2018 23:00 - 30 minutes - 26.7 MBSince we are spirit beings, we are in constant union with Him now, so we are experiencing this personal presence now, though pretty much only in our spirit. As we pursue knowing Him inwardly, our confidence in recognizing His presence without an outward expression will grow to where He will be able to guide, direct and commune with us one-on-one as deep speaks to deep. The hidden things are protected from the encroachments of this age, and God keeps them hidden FOR His beloved. Experiencing ...
Experiencing God's Omni-Presence
February 11, 2018 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBGod is everywhere, created everything and everyone, and exists eternally. He created time, and tis Master over and controls it. He created the elements, and is Master over and controls them. He created the three realms of reality (spiritual, supernatural and natural) and therefore is Master over and controls them. God’s Manifest Presence There are also times and situations in which God chooses to make Himself known to our physical senses. The scriptures are replete with examples of His mak...
God Makes His Presence Known To Us Moment by Moment
February 04, 2018 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBGod is a real person, and wants us to be confident of His present-ness. He exists on many levels, but as His sons we have the privilege of knowing Him in an intimate level not available to unbelievers and other elements of His creation. Part of the process of getting to know Him is learning to appreciate our privilege and in turn respecting and honoring our God by responding to His call to “Be With Him.” God’s Omni-Presence God is everywhere, created everything and everyone, and exists eter...
God Takes Responsibility For Every Aspect Of Our Progress
January 28, 2018 23:00 - 28 minutes - 25.5 MBTaking Responsibility God Himself not only made the way for us to enter into a knowing relationship with Him, He also takes full responsibility for every aspect of our progress. He provides the teaching, encouragement, revelation, strength, circumstances, understanding, fellowship and companionship that we need in order to enter His rest. God Makes His Presence Known God is a real person, and wants us to be confident of His present-ness. He exists on many levels, but as His sons we have th...
The Joy And Responsibility Of Walking With God
January 21, 2018 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBOvercoming the World System God purposes specific circumstances designed for each of us to learn, through dependence on Him, to overcome the world and to learn to know God in our entire beings just as we know Him in our spirit now. Though we have overcome the world in our spirit, we are also overcoming the world in our soul and body as we learn to know God. The world system has a life of its own, and will put up a fight to keep us from learning to rest in knowing God in His time and in His w...
Jesus Has Already Overcome All
January 14, 2018 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBOvercoming the World System Jesus has already overcome the world system, so in our spirit being, we also have overcome the world system. However, our soul and body have not yet walked this out experientially. God purposes specific circumstances designed for each of us to learn, through dependence on Him, to overcome the world and to learn to know God in our entire beings just as we know Him in our spirit now. So though we have overcome the world in our spirit, we are also overcoming the worl...
The Healing of Our Soul and Body Through Overcoming
January 07, 2018 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBOvercoming Our Flesh Though our spirit knows God now, our flesh (our soul getting its needs met outside of God), is a barrier between our spirit and our soul. Through the working of sin, death and our flesh, as well as what has been passed down to us historically, our soul is dysfunctional and seeks life wherever it can find it, through control. Knowing God necessitates a subjection of that control to His life, which is now within us. So one of God’s goals is to bring us healing in our so...
God Makes His Presence Known Through Salvation
December 31, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBSalvation: The Restoration of Our Spirit At the core of God’s plan of these present ages is His intent to bring you and I into an intimate relationship with Him. Jesus wasn’t sent to earth to die on the cross, He died on the cross because that was the only way to the Resurrection! And it is ONLY through the Resurrection that we become new creatures, new spirit beings that are now able to commune with a Holy God on His terms. Before the Resurrection, Moses saw God face to face, but the glory ...
God Approaches Us: The Presence of the Lord
December 24, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBGod paid a very high price to make a way for each and every one of us to know Him intimately and uniquely. Don’t settle for anything less than an intimate relationship with Him! More than 2000 years ago God took the initiative to remove every obstacle that stands between us and knowing Him intimately: Salvation: The Restoration of Our Spirit At the core of God’s plan of these present ages is His intent to bring you and I into an intimate relationship with Him. Jesus wasn’t sent to earth to...
The Simplicity of God’s Approach To Learning
December 17, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBKnowing God, His Part God knows we have difficulty knowing Him fully in our soul and body. It’s been a long time—ages in fact—since we communed with Him in our true state of spirit being. His ways are not our ways; He does things altogether differently than we do. To try to figure out on our own and from our own strength how to know God will leave us frustrated and confused. So He has taken the responsibility to teach and guide us into all Truth, into His ways. We can relax as we come into H...
God Sets Your House In Order So You Can Spend More Time In His
December 10, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBMan, in his intellectual arrogance, loves to make complex what God has made simple. And knowing God is simple. It’s not easy, but it’s simple. He’s already done all the hard work; our job now is to get on His timetable, let Him make the changes in us, and learn to rest, trust and respond accordingly. As we’ve said before, there will be attacks from the world, our flesh and the devil to keep us from entering into His rest, but as we violently persevere we will experience that peace, contentmen...
Hearing God's Voice by Cultivating Quietness
December 03, 2017 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27.3 MBWaiting on the Lord impacts every aspect of our daily lives. Though we will need to structure our time to incorporate a specific time period for waiting, we will also need to shift our view of control over our lives in its entirety in order to be able to allow that time period to expand to encompass our entire life, including our time. This is learning to cultivate quietness, living in dependence on His life for all our needs; to be fulfilled by and through Him alone, so that in Him we live, ...
What Happens When We Can Hear God Speak?
November 26, 2017 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27.3 MBA word of warning to those who desire to hear the Lord; He WILL respond! God desires to speak to His people on a personal level. As you set your ears to hear Him, He will put you in situations that will provide opportunities to test what you are hearing. As the Lord draws you to Himself, He will become more and more jealous over you and how you spend your time and what you think about. Your lifestyle, attitudes and beliefs will be changed, which will affect others. Some will recognize the Lor...
Learning What God Means Takes Time And Making Mistakes
November 19, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBDevelop the habit of going TO THE LORD with your questions or for clarification in how to respond. Though the Lord may very well use others to speak to you, He is not obligated to, and reserves the right to speak to you in person. FIRST! Very often we don’t want to learn how to hear from the Lord because of the responsibility that comes with that ability. We’re afraid of what He might say or ask us to do. This fear is likely part of what the Lord wants to expose and free us from! Though the ...
What Does This Mean? Ask The Lord First!
November 12, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBResponse (WHAT TO DO with what you’ve heard) Ask! “Lord, what should I do with this?” We will get into some specific responses to specific situations later, but for now develop the habit of going TO THE LORD with your questions or for clarification in how to respond. Though the Lord may very well use others to speak to you, He is not obligated to, and reserves the right to speak to you in person. FIRST! Think of your closest personal relationship, or even your relationship with a co-worker...
Responding to God's Voice and Instruction
November 05, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBThink of your closest personal relationship, or even your relationship with a co-worker or person in authority over you. What if your boss came to you and asked that a task be accomplished in a certain way by a certain time? Would you say, “Well, let me check with my pastor.” Or even “Let me pray about that?” No, you recognize the boundaries of the relationship and respond accordingly. Very often we, too, don’t want to learn how to hear from the Lord because of the responsibility that comes ...
Catching Up: Silence & Secrets
October 29, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBSecrets & Mysteries There will be times that we are to accept what He says without understanding it. God is under no obligation to explain Himself. Well, then, why does He share it with us? Who you truly are in your spirit already knows the answer to all these questions, and knows why the Lord doesn’t want you to have understanding in your soul realm. As your confidence in your relationship with God grows, you’ll simply be able to accept the situation and enjoy what the Lord has given. One ...
The Silence of the Lord
October 22, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBSecrets (Mysteries) Sometimes the Lord speaks to us things that we don’t understand at the time. Often this is to draw us into a deeper understanding of His ways by encouraging us to put other things aside (both things that take up our time, and beliefs and doctrines based on tradition) in order to get the answer from the Lord (not by figuring it out by talking to those who know better or reading every book on the subject). There will also be times that we are to accept what He says without ...
God Asks, "Can You Keep A Secret?"
October 15, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBGod loves to show His friends what is on His heart before He does things. He wants to be able to trust us with things that are important to Him; part of the process of getting there is entrusting us with secrets and seeing how well we handle them. And here’s how to handle the secrets of the Lord: Ask! “Lord, is this something you want me to share, and if so, with whom? Or is this something just between us?” Silence The final and sometimes most difficult way the Lord communicates with us is...
God Reveals His Secrets and Mysteries
October 08, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBConfirmation Once God knows He has our confidence, He will likely enjoy celebrating with us through confirmation, after we have stepped out or made a decision. God’s confirmation to Moses that he was hearing from Him was that after Israel was set free, they would worship Him on the Mount. Not before—after! Secrets (Mysteries) Sometimes the Lord speaks to us things that we don’t understand at the time. Often this is to draw us into a deeper understanding of His ways by encouraging us to put...
God's Confirmations Eventually Come AFTER We Step Out
October 01, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MBDirection Most of us have put such an emphasis on being in the center of the divine will of God that we lose the peace and rest that comes from letting Him guide us as He chooses. His purpose, His goal is not that we make the “right” choice or decision, but that we depend on Him to reveal what that decision is. As we mature in rest we will more and more find ourselves making decisions and choices without realizing it; not until after we find ourselves traveling in a new direction will we eve...
God Speaks By Giving Direction and Confirmation
September 24, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBDirection One of the main ways the Lord gets our attention, to draw us to Him, is by putting us in positions where we need to make a decision or choice. Most of us have put such an emphasis on being in the center of the divine will of God that we lose the peace and rest that comes from letting Him guide us as He chooses. His purpose, His goal is not that we make the “right” choice or decision, but that we depend on Him to reveal what that decision is. As we mature in rest we will more and mo...
Keys to Understanding What God is Saying to You
September 17, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBSpecific There are, of course, times when we will be able to identify a specific message or idea from the Lord. Sometimes I marvel at the level of detail God can communicate; think of the direction Moses received concerning the tabernacle and priesthood, and the mathematical and construction details relayed to Noah for the ark. And both of these guys lived before the Resurrection! We have so much more available to us today—we have the Living Christ dwelling and speaking within us. Don’t be s...
God’s Goal Is Relationship With You!
September 10, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBUnderstanding (recognition of WHAT is being said, by revelation and experience) Once we realize it is indeed the Lord speaking to us, the next task is identifying what He is saying to us. Over time we will begin to become familiar with the way He speaks to us individually, but at first, as our confidence is nurtured by the Spirit, it is often helpful to approach this aspect of training fairly objectively. Keeping a record, or talking it over with a trusted friend may be helpful. There’s no r...

Recognizing The Voice of the Butcher
August 27, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBThe enemy is subtle, and will often speak to us in phrases we use ourselves. The above test, “Is that You, Lord,” will likely expose him, though it may take several times applying the test. That’s fine with the Lord; He wants us to grow in confidence and authority. The enemy is NO HINDRANCE to hearing from the Lord, as he is a conquered enemy. God has left him here, though, to reveal where we are wounded and living out of our flesh, and to teach us how to overcome (how to hear the voice of th...
That Which Is Life Will Stand The Light Of Day
August 20, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.3 MBBeing able to distinguish between our own thoughts, thoughts the enemy may speak to us and the thoughts of the Lord is a long-term process that begins with becoming aware of what we are thinking. We will likely find that we have a thought-life that is flesh-based rather than Life-based. But if we are going to hear from the Lord, as He cleans out our ears we will likely have to lay aside that which interferes with our hearing to begin with. The Voice of the Butcher The enemy is subtle, and ...
Hearing God and Talking to Your Self
August 13, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBMost of us are totally unaware of what we are thinking, feeling, or even how we make decisions. So part of the training that God puts us through is for the purpose of bringing these to the surface, so we can objectively evaluate the source. That which is Life will stand the light of day, but we must also be willing to change our beliefs. We will likely find that we have a thought-life that is flesh-based rather than Life-based. We think thoughts that keep our flesh in control, which keeps us...

God Will Give You EARS to Hear!
July 30, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MB1. Identification (WHO is talking) Ears to Hear Whatever the condition of your hearing, ask God to give you ears that hear, and a heart to respond. We often miss the connection between the circumstances in our life and direction from the Lord simply because we have a preconceived idea of what and how the Lord speaks. “Is That You, Lord?” Remind yourself that knowing God is simple; we often want to make it complex for reasons of control of others or to keep from changing our own beliefs or...
Identification, Understanding & Response
July 23, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBDiscerning the Voice of the Lord 1. Identification (WHO is talking) Ears to Hear The first step in hearing the voice of the Lord is recognizing that you are hearing something! This may involve the Lord cleaning out your ears, and perhaps clearing away some wounds and beliefs that are keeping you from hearing clearly.

Discerning the Voice of the Lord
July 16, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MB3. Cultivation If we really want to be able to recognize the Lord’s voice, we will have to make lifestyle changes, rearranging our schedule and beliefs to make room for Him first. The more time and attention we give to God, the more fine-tuned our senses become to His leading. He reveals Himself, we spend time with Him, then we begin to act on what we’ve heard. As we test what we’re hearing, His voice will likely change in character. His direction, encouragement and comfort is likely to beco...

3 Principle Means of Learning to Hear
June 25, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.3 MB1. Revelation The process of hearing the voice of the Lord begins with Revelation. Unless God chooses to make Himself known, we cannot of ourselves hear His voice. Thankfully, part of His gift of grace at salvation is exactly that: when He re-created us, He revealed Himself to our spirit. The process now involves His voice being revealed from His Spirit through our spirit to our soul. If you are a believer, God has already revealed Himself to you and given you the ability to hear and recogni...

Practical Steps to Hear God's Voice
June 11, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MB4. Rest: Be patient, confident and dependent. The timing of the process is in God’s hands. Your success in this is not judged by how well you think you are doing, how clearly you think you are hearing from Him or anything else for that matter. Anxiety is a signal you are trying to do God’s job. Your success is based on being dependent on Him to make Himself clear. To hurry God is to find fault with Him. 5. ASK! God will give you a hunger that will not be satisfied with anything less th...
Knowing God is Learning to Use Your Spiritual Senses
June 04, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MB3. Develop your soulical senses. Once we experience salvation, we become a new creature, a new being that has never lived this life before. Part of that new life is that we are learning how to live using new spiritual senses, which in turn activate, or give true life to, both supernatural and natural senses. The more time we spend with God, the more our spirit is given the opportunity to bring our other senses into alignment so that, over time, direct communication can occur from God’s Spi...
Commit to waiting on Him, for Him and with Him
May 21, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MB1. We can’t hear God without His help. 2. Commit to waiting on Him, for Him and with Him. The goal of hearing is to KNOW God, not just to hear Him more clearly. Often part of our struggle to hear Him is that we have a misunderstanding of what God may say to us. He wants to speak to us because He wants to speak to us, not merely to correct us in some way. As we commit our time and attention to hearing Him, He turns every circumstance in our lives into a teaching opportunity. 3. Deve...

Creating Your Circumstances Through Waiting
April 30, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.2 MBCircumstances May or May Not Change It is through our circumstances that we often see the greatest evidence of where we are still under the influence of our enemies the world, the flesh and the devil. It is worth waiting on Him to be able to overcome according to His plan rather than our impatience or ignorance. Physical Changes People who habitually engage in waiting on the Lord often find many symptoms of stress lessened simply from the process of letting the body relax. This is in addit...
More Practical Consequences of Waiting
April 23, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBWounds Healed The more time we spend with the Lord, the more liberty He takes in bringing our soul and body into alignment with our spirit, which is already in alignment with His Spirit. Though nothing may appear to be happening on the surface during our times of waiting, the Lord is doing a deep work without our interference. He heals wounds, speaks to our mind, will and emotions, provides guidance, direction, encouragement and wisdom, all without our necessarily knowing it in our conscious...
