Practical Consequences of Waiting Part 2
April 09, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBRelief Learning to wait on the Lord is something we can all do, regardless of our circumstances, skills or abilities. When we realize that God is waiting for us to wait, and that waiting is something we CAN do, DOING it can take the pressure off of us as we learn to rest and let Him do the work. Instead of having to perform or achieve to get a blessing from or connection with God, we rest in the realization that all requirements have been paid by Jesus already, and we are doing all that we n...
Practical Consequences of Waiting
April 02, 2017 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBWe miss Him because He comes to us Un-Understood: He is Truth, and what He says and does will not necessarily line up with what we already “know.” To understand Him, we will have to relinquish our understanding. Practical Consequences of Waiting Relief Learning to wait on the Lord is something we can all do, regardless of our circumstances, skills or abilities. When we realize that God is waiting for us to wait, and that waiting is something we CAN do, DOING it can take the pressure off of...
We miss Him because He comes to us Unwanted
March 26, 2017 22:00 - 33 minutes - 29.4 MBPart of the process of learning to wait brings us to the point of wanting to know the Lord simply because we want to know Him, not for what He does, says or how He makes us feel. Would we go where we’re not wanted? Do you want Him? How long are you willing to wait? We miss Him because He comes to us Unexpected Just as Jesus wants to be wanted, He also wants us to know His character enough to know that He will respond to our waiting. He wants us to have confidence, excitement and patience fo...
Why doesn’t God just give us what we need to be able to discern His Presence?
March 19, 2017 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBHere are some of the ways we reject the Lord’s overtures without even knowing it: We miss Him because He comes to us Unwanted Jesus wants to be wanted.Though the odds are that all of us say that we want to know the Lord, we may only want to know Him on our terms. But how He comes to us is for Him to decide. He doesn’t take too well to being dictated to. As we learn to wait on Him, He begins to reveal to us things that we want MORE than we want Him! We want to control our time, our circumsta...
Why Do We Have To Wait? To Change Our Attitude!

But how He comes to us is for Him to decide. He doesn’t take too well to being dictated to. As we learn to wait on Him, He begins to reveal to us things that we want MORE than we want Him! We want to control our time, our circumstances, and how and when H...
Why Do We Have to Wait For God?
March 05, 2017 23:00 - 30 minutes - 26.9 MBGod wants us to value Him; we do not seek what we do not value! So He withdraws His Presence, not to tease us, but to draw us after Him, and to expose our hidden attitudes toward Him. Here are some ways we reject the Lord without even knowing it: We miss Him because He comes to us Unwanted Jesus wants to be wanted.Though the odds are that all of us say that we want to know the Lord, we may only want to know Him on our terms. But how He comes to us is for Him to decide. Learning to wait brin...
Christian Meditation & Mysticism
February 26, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBWhat’s Happening? Our soul’s awareness is being transferred by our spirit in cooperation with God’s Spirit from what is going on in the body (and through the body, our natural circumstances) and in the soul realm (what’s taking up the attention of our mind, will and emotions). In this way, He gives His life to us and lives His life through us, often without our even knowing it (He will often bypass our mind, will and emotions and directly impact both our personal circumstances and the natura...
While Waiting, the Lord Will Sharpen Your Senses
February 19, 2017 23:00 - 32 minutes - 28.5 MBAdrift in Him As an illustration, picture yourself on an inflatable raft in the middle of a lake. There are waves all around, being whipped up by the wind, and there is nothing you can do about it. The wind is caused by external distractions, and the waves are caused by activity in your soul. But you find that as you accept the waves as they are, and let your outward and inward senses rest, over time the waves begin to be quieted. The waves get smaller and smaller, until you find that the on...
Your Job Is To Show Up for Class & Do Your Homework!
February 12, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBWhatever happens during this time is up to the Lord! This is His training ground, and He will provide exactly what we need to accomplish His purpose for this time. Reacting to the actions of our soul only gives it control and keeps it from being free and available to the Lord. The importance of this time is not that you get something out of it or see a change or have a sense of His presence. The purpose of this time is simply that you show up for class. The Lord will do the rest. Adrift in H...
Knowing God Takes a Restful Focus
February 05, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBFocusYour mind WILL wander! The odds are that for most of your life you have let your thoughts and emotions go wherever they wanted. There were of course times when they would be disciplined, but they would entail self-discipline, brought under control by your own strength of mind, will or emotions. Now we are learning to free our soul to be joined to our spirit, which is already joined to the Holy Spirit. As your mind wanders, don’t react! Or if you feel anxious, or are even antsy sitting st...
When Nothing Seems to be Happening
January 29, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBThe act of waiting is providing the Lord with the opportunity to do His work IN you with as little interference FROM you as possible. To do this, your focus will be to let the Lord bring your mind, will and emotions into focused submission to Him. This will not be accomplished by your own efforts; you are simply making yourself available. Focus on what’s going on inside, literally, what’s going on in your body. Without strain or effort, let yourself become aware of a single rhythmic element ...
What Do We Do When We Wait?
January 22, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MBFocus First, get comfortable in a quiet, undisturbed setting. If you only have a limited amount of time, be able to see a clock easily from where you are sitting. As you close your eyes, think of closing the door to outside distractions. Focus on what’s going on inside, literally, what’s going on in your body. Without strain or effort, let yourself become aware of a single rhythmic element in your body, such as your breathing or heartbeat. If you like, you can focus on an outside rhythm, suc...
Develop the Habit of Waiting
January 15, 2017 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBLocation. Pick a place that is comfortable yet not conducive to falling asleep. You’ll also want to make sure there are not a lot of distractions, whether visual, mental or audible. You may want to set up a particular location for this purpose; this may contribute to your ability to get into a mindset that is attentive to the Lord. Once you develop the habit of waiting, you will expand that ability to wait into any situation that the Lord calls you to. You will also want to limit the number ...
Practical Steps You Can Take Now to Get to Know God
January 08, 2017 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27 MBHow to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. This time is dedicated to the purpose of making yourself available to the Lord for His purposes. Your focus will be on being still before Him, not hearing, learning or receiving from Him, but simply being present with Him. So distinguish this time from other times you may have set with Him for other purposes. Time of day. Your personal schedule will contribute to your decisions regard...
How to Start Where You Are to Know God
December 18, 2016 23:00 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MBHow to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. We want to be occupied with living, but not pre-occupied. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. This time is dedicated to the purpose of making yourself available to the Lord for His purposes. Your focus will be on being still before Him, not hearing, learning or receiving from Him, but simply being present with Him. So distinguish this time from other times you may have set with Him for other purposes. Time of day. You...
Enjoying Perfect Communion With God
December 11, 2016 23:00 - 30 minutes - 27.2 MBHow to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. As a starting point, set as a goal to practice learning to wait 20 minutes 5 times a week and 2 hours twice a week. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. Time of day. There seems to be something particularly effective to waiting on the Lord in the mornings. Ask the Lord when the best time for you is; start with something that makes sense to you, then give the Lord an opportunity to revise to fit His requirements. Locatio...
Practical Keys for Learning to Wait on the Lord
December 04, 2016 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBWho you truly are, a spirit being, is in perfect communion and communication with God. Your soul—your mind, will and emotions—is in the process of being healed of the wounds caused by believing lies. As your soul is healed, your body is also being relieved of the stress and pressure of trying to meet the needs of the soul. Your soul is now learning to get its needs met from the Eternal Life that now dwells within you and is available to the soul from your spirit. How to Start: Decide on a sp...
Waiting: The “How-To’s” of Hearing the Lord’s Voice
November 27, 2016 23:00 - 32 minutes - 28.6 MBWaiting: The “How-To’s” of Hearing the Lord’s Voice For our purposes, waiting on the Lord is the process by which our soul and body are presented before the Lord in stillness by faith to provide Him the opportunity to do His work without our conscious interference. Decide on a specific amount of time. As a starting point, set as a goal to practice learning to wait 20 minutes 5 times a week and 2 hours twice a week. The blocks of time can be broken up, though it’s good to set the goal to be...
Submission to the Sovereignty of God
November 20, 2016 23:00 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MBAs we learn to depend on Him, as He exercises His full rights over our lives, we begin to enjoy letting Him live through us, even in unpleasant situations. Since one of the goals of the flesh is to maintain control, as the Lord begins to exert His absolute control over our life, there will be conflict with the flesh, both our own and the flesh of those who, for whatever reason, believe they have a right to exert spiritual, or in some cases soulical or natural rights over us that they do not h...
Knowing God, Our Part
November 13, 2016 23:00 - 32 minutes - 28.6 MBAt one time or another, we all likely fall into the trap of trying to take responsibility for our relationship with God. But it is all His idea, and He already has planned out every circumstance, challenge and encouragement necessary to bring us into the full realization of experiencing His eternal life in our whole being. Realizing this, we may fall the other way, into the deception that since God is in complete control, and has every circumstance planned, we can just lean back and let Him d...
God Wants To Be Known and Understood
November 06, 2016 23:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBAs our soul and body align with our spirit, His River of Life flows through us unhindered; our behavior begins to line up with our identity. Not only do we experience freedom, healing and dependence in our own being, but we become available and engaged, enthusiastic and sacrificing, to bring His life to those in need according to His plan. So as knowing God is developing that personal relationship with Him on all levels, Knowing His Ways, understanding Him is sharing His goals, desires, and a...
Knowing God is an Engaging Process
October 30, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBGrowing in God? As we follow on to know Him, we will increase in our awareness of His presence, involvement, and His character in our lives. In our spirits, who we truly are, we are already as mature as we are ever going to get. What DOES change in us is only the appearance of God Himself to and through us. We are not really growing, or reaching the “next level.” But our experience of knowing God personally brings us more and more into dependence on Him, where He is more and more clearly and...
How Do We Know God? Do We Grow In God?
October 23, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MBWe start by asking Him to reveal Himself, acknowledging that He fully enabled us to know Him when He gave us a new heart at the Resurrection. We already have the capability to know and understand, we just fail to put in the time and attention that any valuable endeavor deserves. Growing in God? As we follow on to know Him, we will increase in our awareness of His presence, involvement, and His character in our lives. In our spirits we are already as mature as we are ever going to get. And o...
You Want to Know God - Guaranteed!
October 16, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.8 MBYou Already Want to Know God Who we truly are, as spirit beings, already completely knows Him and is receiving His Life, living His eternal Life now. But our soul and body do not yet know Him on that same level. This is the separation that we are experiencing here on this earth—that in our soul and body we are still trying to get life, our needs met, on our own, through our own efforts and by our own strength. As we respond to God’s drawing, as we experience our need to know Him, God will br...
God Is Jealous Over Each Of Us
October 09, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.4 MBWhat Knowing God is Not Knowing God cannot necessarily be measured by what we’ve been taught by others. We can know all about a subject or person and never have experienced that subject or truly known that person at all. Even when a person passes along their experiences, because you are unique and God seeks a unique experience with you, sharing in another’s relationship with God is no substitute for developing your own relationship. God Wants Us to Know Him God is often misunderstood becau...
We Already Possess All The Eternal Life We Ever Will
October 02, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBWhat is Knowing God? Knowing God is being in an intimate relationship with Him in all aspects of our being, spirit, soul and body. As Believers, we already enjoy this relationship with God in our spirit. But in our soul (mind, will and emotions) and body we are still in the process of getting to know Him as He is. So though we already possess all the eternal life we ever will, this great salvation of relationship has not yet been worked out through our soul and body. As we accept the respons...
Realistic Expectations for Knowing God
September 25, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MBKnowing God is being in an intimate relationship with Him in all aspects of our being, spirit, soul and body. As Believers, we already enjoy this relationship with God in our spirit. But in our soul (mind, will and emotions) and body we are still in the process of getting to know Him as He is. So though we already possess all the eternal life we ever will, this great salvation of relationship has not yet been worked out through our soul and body. As we accept the responsibility to join God in...
Knowing God Is Simple, But It's Not Easy
September 18, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.5 MB10. Be willing to be out of control. The more you get to know God personally and practically the more you will be willing to be out of control. One of God's main purposes for us now is to make this a reality in our lives on this earth. This can be a scary thing, but the Lord knows this, and gives us exactly the training we need to be able to have confidence in Him based on experience. We find out He’s a really great God, that He’s trustworthy, and that depending on Him is fully satisfying and...
A New Determination of Reality
September 11, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.4 MB9. Develop your Warfare Skills. Recognize, prepare and engage in battle with your three enemies: the world, the flesh and the devil. Failing to engage in this battle surrenders that battlefront and makes you vulnerable in that area. Warfare is waged through depending on the Lord, but rest assured that this warfare is part of teaching us how to depend on Him and not on our own strength or understanding. The understanding of Practical Christianity as both Rest and Warfare can only be fully real...
To Know God You Will Have to Learn to Live as a Spirit with a Soul
September 04, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.6 MB7. KISS: Keep it Simple, Saint! The desire to make the Christian walk complicated or specialized, by depending on mental understanding of the scriptures or approval from others, is often merely an expression of the arrogance of our adamic soul trying to control God. 8. Develop your Supernatural Senses. The more we depend on the Lord for Life, Guidance and for the meeting of all our needs, the more He tunes all of our senses to His wavelength. 9. Develop your Warfare Skills. Recognize, prepa...
Just KISS: Keep It Simple Saints!
August 28, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MB6. Accept that God loves you as a unique individual, and wants what is best for you. Your value is not measured by what you can accomplish FOR Him, but by how much you depend ON Him. No comparisons are adequate to describe the satisfaction and contentment that awaits those who know their God. 7. KISS: Keep it Simple, Saint! The desire to make the Christian walk complicated or specialized, by depending on mental understanding of the scriptures or approval from others, is often merely...
Embracing God's Purpose For This Age
August 21, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MB4. Don’t put off until another time the freedom, healing and responsibility God wants you to experience now. Discover God’s purpose for you now, in personal terms, then keep your focus on what He is doing in your life. Let Him be God, and you’ll get along pretty well. 5. Acknowledge and submit to the sovereignty and jealous authority of God over your life. Let Him show you areas in your life where you are letting other people, or even your own beliefs, usurp the authority He has reserved for...
Does What You Believe Work?
August 14, 2016 22:00 - 32 minutes - 28.6 MBHere’s a quick summary of 10 things that we can do to join God in His purposes for us now: 1. Be willing to change your beliefs. Question what you think you know, and let the Lord reveal His Truth. 2. Embrace your True Identity: You have already agreed to everything God is doing in, to and through you, so don’t look for someone (including your self) to blame for the situation you’re in or the mistakes you’ve made in the past. 3. Be objective about your temperament. Don’t use your temperame...
Joining God with Patient Purposefulness
August 07, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBJoining God as He works out His purposes in our lives enables us to rest and abide with confidence. When we know we’re on God’s side, we know the result is guaranteed and will be satisfying for both us and God. We can face life’s guaranteed trials and tribulations with excitement, waiting to see what God is going to do, knowing all is under His loving control. And we can take responsibility over our own lives, knowing that God is aligning our desires, dreams, goals and aspirations with His. ...
What Does God Require of Us? Our Time and Attention!
July 31, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBGod really only wants two things from us: our Time and our Attention. First, we show up for class. Second, we work on the assignments He gives us. Persistence We join in God’s purposes by sticking it out with Him. There will be many opportunities to settle for less, because good and better are always the greatest enemy of best. Saying “enough” to the Lord is rejecting His plan, and He deals quite precisely with us in these cases, often by giving us what we want — to be left alone. So commit...
How Do We Join God In Accomplishing His Purpose?
July 24, 2016 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.2 MBGod’s Purpose Now: God Teaches Us How To Walk In Freedom God’s purpose is to teach us in practical terms how to walk in this life in freedom from the influence of the world, our flesh and the devil. What Hinders God’s Purpose Now? Nothing! He will not let anything — our mind, our will or our emotions — stand in His way! Our soul, even our will, is not stronger than God. How Do We Join God In Accomplishing His Purpose? Learning to walk in the Spirit is not as hard as it is sometimes made ...
God’s Purpose Now: God Consumes Our Flesh
July 17, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBRemoving our flesh is His job, not ours, and He is always working on this. Our flesh is the only thing that truly stands in the way of our resting and relaxing in our new identity, and it is the only thing that interferes with God’s life working in and through us. He’s got His own time-table, and we can rest assured that He’s working on what’s most important to Him, though it may not be what we want Him to be working on. It’s also reassuring to know that by the time He makes us aware of an as...
What Is God's Purpose Now? What Does He Want For Us and From Us?
July 10, 2016 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBGod Gives Himself God’s purpose now is to give Himself to us and through us. Since this is His nature, and it will not change, receiving what He wants to give is something we’d better get good at. From our perspective, this giving is evidenced by His meeting our needs for unconditional love, acceptance and individual value. There is no limit to His meeting of these needs, and He shows no partiality in the way that He meets them. In other words, He doesn’t meet our need for unconditional love...
Religion Hinders Our Purpose Now
July 03, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBPart of the process of bringing us into relationship with Him is that He brings to the surface the sources and foundations of what we believe, often by putting us into situations where those beliefs are tested. Since none of us has all the truth, at least some of what each of us believes is a lie. We need to be willing to change our mind, to submit what we believe to scru-tiny, realizing that what is Truth will stand up under inspection. It is not faith in what we believe that is important, b...
Not Knowing How To Know God Hinders Our Purpose Now
June 26, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MBKnowing God is what we are made for; or more accurately, what we are re-made for. It is only when we continue to try to know Him on our terms, continue to do things our way, that we come to believe we can't hear Him consistently on this earth. But God’s purpose for us now is to be in a knowing, experiential relationship with Him, and He will not let anything stand in His way. Yet if we don’t know how to know Him, we are easily distracted and deceived into settling for less than His best. Fi...
The World System Hinders Our Purpose Now
June 19, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBWe are learning to resist the peer pressure that is so prevalent in this present age. How easy it is to settle for less — we compare ourselves with those who are close to us or those in leadership positions, and by doing so subtly affirm their lives or teachings as our standards. God values us now “as is,” and expects us to value ourselves on the same basis. It doesn’t depend on what we have accomplished in the past or what we may accomplish in the future. As citizens of the kingdom, we walk...
The Enemy Hinders Our Purpose Now
June 05, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBWe are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy where we have unhealed wounds and are therefore walking after the flesh in that area. Where we believe a lie, the enemy has a legal right to interfere in our lives. Overcoming the enemy does not mean we will stop being vulnerable to temptation. Being tempted does not mean anything — Jesus was in all ways tempted as we are. It’s when we ascribe meaning to that temptation that we enter deception. Even after Jesus persevered through 40 days of fasti...
Wanting To Maintain Control Hinders Our Purpose Now
May 22, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MBThe goal of flesh is to control, so as God brings healing into our lives, and we begin to enter into His rest and freedom, we more and more find ourselves giving up control to God. So any changes He makes can be, if not understood, at least endured. Unhealed Wounds Hinder Our Purpose Now Unhealed wounds are places in our soul where our needs have not been met in the past, so that we are now believing a lie. The most common wound is rejection. We are all rejected on a regular basis and will ...
Our Flesh Hinders Our Purpose Now
May 15, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MBFlesh is getting our God-given needs met outside of dependence on God alone. If we don’t understand what our personal flesh patterns are, and how flesh develops, it will continue to develop and interfere with the learning process. Before our nature was exchanged at the cross, the only resource we had available to get our needs met was the flesh, also called our “self” and the “self-life.” Flesh perpetuates our misconceptions, especially telling us that if we really give in to God, bad things ...
Knowing Ourselves According To Our Temperament Hinders Our Purpose Now
May 08, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBWe often live according to the belief that our temperament is who or what we are. But our temperament, the way God put our soul together, is not the basis upon which He evaluates us. In fact, most often our temperament, because of our misbeliefs, is our greatest hindrance because it provides a means to excuse the flesh. Our goal for freedom is not so that our temperament can be free, but so that He can be free, unhindered by our temperament. Before our soul (our temperament) can be fully avai...
If Knowing God is Our Purpose, What is Keeping Us From Doing It?
May 01, 2016 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBMisconceptions About Who We Are, Who God Is and What He Is Doing Hinder Our Purpose Now Do you know why you believe what you believe? Beliefs are caught, not taught, and we are often not aware that much of what we believe contradicts something else we believe. God wants us to know His ways, how He does things, how He feels about us, and how He works on our behalf. Taking another’s explanation for this hinders God from revealing the truth to us directly. Knowing Ourselves According To Our Te...
If Change is God’s Responsibility, Is There Anything WE Do?
April 24, 2016 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBWell, yes and no. We can learn to actively rest. To get to that state of rest, God will teach us how to truly repent, renew our minds and submit our beliefs, until we believe what He says about us. We will then trust Him because we have experienced His love for us, not because of the strength or nature of our beliefs. His life in us becomes our reality. We become blind to our surroundings and our own desires, and deaf to the cries of the needs within and the needy without, to the point that ...
If Success Is Depending on God, What Is Our Purpose Now?
April 17, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutesOur purpose now is to know God on His terms and in His timing. This may sound simplistic, yet we often struggle with that very simplicity; man loves to make complex what God has made simple. By making “knowing God” harder than it is, we often rob God of the opportunity to reveal Himself. Knowing God is His idea, and it is His responsibility to make Himself real to each one of us. He teaches us, and we learn. What Does Knowing God Look Like? Since we already completely and perfectly know God...
What Is Our Purpose Now?
April 10, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutesGod does want us to know how we are doing, so He will often give us tokens of accomplishment or graduation appropriate to what we have overcome. He knows we need encouragement, and does what He needs to in order to keep us coming to Him for that encouragement. You know you’ve overcome in an area, or achieved a goal, not because it’s finished or a deadline met, but because you can rest in dependence in that area. What Is Our Purpose Now? If Success is simply actively depending on God to live...
Where Are the Role Models for Christian Success?
April 03, 2016 22:00 - 31 minutesUnfortunately, in many, if not most cases, Christian role models in leadership positions or public ministry are either not exemplifying dependence on the Father, or they have isolated themselves from the people in such a way that wereally don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors. It’s interesting that it took Jesus 30 years to learn and practice being dependent on His Father in private in order to minister publicly for three and a half years. As we truly learn how to depend on the Fath...
