2-22-16 Good morning everyone. Once again God has demonstrated His absolute faithfulness in bringing up the sun at just the right time. I want to start a series of lessons on some of the things God has shown me about Himself. This has been the greatest desire of my life, to get to know God personally and to experience Him directly. These experiences are my treasures in heaven. I pray that some of my experiences will stimulate you to seek the Lord yourself. GLIMPSES OF GOD -- PART 1 Copyright 2010 From the very beginning, God created me with a great love for His creation, especially His animal kingdom. He has chosen to show me some wonderful things about Himself through His creation. After all, the Apostle Paul wrote: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and God head, so that they are without excuse . . . " Romans 18:20 The creation itself is a witness to us of the reality and character of God. That's why the whole theory of evolution that is so strongly taught to our children in school is such blasphemy. The theory of evolution seeks to disprove the existence of God, AND it tries to use the creation itself to show that there is no Creator! If you are allowing your children to be taught the theory of evolution as a scientific truth, do not wonder why they rebel and walk away from God when they get older. They have been thoroughly taught that God does not exist! I firmly believe that anyone who does not have a real appreciation of the unspeakable beauties of God's creation has a very stunted view of God Do you live in a big city? Then make the time to get out of that city and walk in an uninhabited area and drink in the greatness of God through the creation. Get away from the city lights at night and gaze up at the incredible panorama of countless stars in the sky. Listen to the songs of the birds and insects and pause to consider the huge trees that have miraculously grown and stood through so many years and storms. Look at the beauty of the flowers and butterflies that are made by God to flourish for such short periods of time. Feel the solidness of the rocks that simply endure for year after year, unchanged by the swiftly changing fortunes of mankind all around them. Look at the intricate and uncountable details of every thing in creation. Cities are man made. They are nothing compared to the greatness of God! When God said, "Let us make man in Our image," He gave us the ability to create. The rest of creation is a reflection of God's image, but humans are unique in their ability to create. Oh, animals can build things, but they don't create. They can think and reason and problem solve, and all of them have the ability to love, but they cannot create. Only humans can do that. However, there is one thing that humans CANNOT create, and that is LIFE. No created creature can create life. The great Creator has reserved that right for Himself. That is why life is so precious. All life flows from God Himself and must be continually sustained by Him. The problem is that humans have become so centered on themselves, and what they can do, that they ignore or don't understand or think about just how intimately involved God is in the creation. Even Christians tend not to appreciate or value the creation, they mostly think about what they can do or have done. Our thinking tends to be that "God created the world and the universe and set it going, and now He is sort of just sitting back to see what will happen." Wrong! God is continually, intimately, involved in all of creation. And not only this, but all of creation knows the Creator, except humans. The Lord very clearly taught me this lesson years ago through a rather startling incident. I will tell you of this experience next time. God bless, may He open your eyes to the awesome beauty of His creation which reflects the great love and beauty of God Himself. Rebecca

1-29-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 3 I left you with a question in the last lesson. It was: if then God is spirit, and we can no longer hear or see the spiritual realm, just how are we supposed to "hear" God's voice? The answer is: God communicates with our spirit via the Holy Spirit, and then that communication is flashed into our soul, that is, our mind, by the Holy Spirit. It is given to us as a thought or vision or dream. In essence, the Holy Spirit provides the link between our soul and spirit when God wants. That is a key, WHEN GOD WANTS! People involved in witchcraft or the occult of any kind, all develop the ability to communicate freely with the spirit realm. They learn to communicate with demon spirits. In their case a demon spirit provides the link, or joining, of their spirit to their soul. In their case, they can see into and communicate with the spiritual realm whenever they want to. (Because the link between occultists' souls and spirits is provided by a demon spirit, everything they see and hear and experience in the spiritual realm goes through a demonic filter. That is why occultists never see God's angels. If they did, they wouldn't stay in the occult very long.) ALL COMMUNICATION TO US FROM THE SPIRIT REALM COMES TO US IN OUR MINDS, THAT IS, OUR SOULS. Actually the same is true for the physical realm as well. We see with our mind, not our physical eye ball. The image that we see is carried from our physical eye ball to our brain via the optic nerve. We feel in our mind, or brain, not in our finger tips, etc. Our mind or soul is the center where all communication is received. When Christians receive input from the spiritual realm such as hearing God or seeing a vision or dream, this comes to him through the Holy Spirit. In these instances the Holy Spirit provides the link between our soul and spirit. So the central task in learning to "hear" God's voice is to learn to recognize which thoughts are from Him. This poses a big problem because there are three sources of the thoughts that are continually in our minds. One, we have our own thoughts, two, God puts thoughts into our minds, and three, demons also are able to put thoughts and emotions directly into our minds from outside of us. We are told this in 2 Corinthians: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [physical] but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every thing [thought] that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 This scripture shows us clearly that the battlefield between the spiritual realm and the physical realm is in our heads! It is in our minds. The battle takes place in our thoughts and emotions, that is, in our minds. Demon spirits have the ability, from outside of you, to directly inject thoughts and emotions into your mind just the same as I as a physician can take a needle and syringe and inject a shot of medicine into your arm. Therefore, there are three sources of the thoughts that continually flow through our mind. This scripture commands us to become aware of the thoughts that we are thinking. We are to recognize those thoughts that are not godly or righteous or are from demons. Then we are to cast those thoughts out of our minds and refuse to continue thinking them. We are to bring "every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." God communicates with us in several different ways, but the most frequent way is through putting thoughts into our minds. THE ESSENCE OF LEARNING TO "HEAR" GOD'S VOICE IS TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY RECOGNIZE WHEN A THOUGHT IS FROM GOD VERSUS FROM US OR A DEMON SPIRIT. This is something that we will struggle with our whole life. We will never "hear" God perfectly all the time. We will not know for sure whether a particular thought is from God, or our own thoughts. Sometimes we will wonder if a particular thought was from a demon, or from God. Why is this? The Apostle Paul wrote, "For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall know just as I also am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) As long as we are in this sinful flesh and blood physical body, we will always have a struggle with our communication with God. Our sin is always a hindrance. In that wonderful day when we are finally dwelling in heaven in our glorified bodies and sin has no part in us, then we will freely see and hear from God and know God just as He knows us today. Sometimes the Lord will speak to us so clearly that we will have no doubts at all. But many times we will struggle. It will always be so. So here is the next question: What is the quickest and easiest way to learn to recognize thoughts from God? I will tell you in the next lesson. Rebecca.

2-1-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 4 My first few years of learning to "hear" God's voice were a great struggle. I knew that God communicates with us by flashing thoughts into our minds, but I did not know how to learn to recognize those thoughts quickly. I read many Christian books, and each one left me frustrated. The writers wrote glowingly about hearing from God and receiving His guidance, but never once did they tell me HOW I could learn this skill. Eventually, in His great mercy, the Lord answered my prayers and gave me a direct revelation of how I could more easily learn to recognize when He was speaking to me. I want to share that with you. God's word tells us: "Because the carnal [natural] mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be." Romans 8:7 Our natural mind is controlled by our sin nature -- that part of us that wants to do only evil all the time. Therefore, our mind will not choose to think about God's word unless we make the conscious decision to do so. Therefore, the first step is to memorize scripture. Memorize scripture verses that uplift and glorify Jesus. Then pray and ask God to put those scripture verses into your conscious thought as you are busy working and thinking about something else entirely. When the Lord does this, suddenly, you will realize that a particular scripture verse is flowing through your mind. That will be from the Holy Spirit. Demon spirits will not want to put scripture verses into your mind, especially those that uplift and glorify Jesus. Your own natural mind won't think about them unless you stop and make the conscious decision to do so. Therefore, when you suddenly realize that scripture is flowing through your mind you will know that it is the Holy Spirit putting it there. As this happens over and over again, pretty soon you will begin to recognize the difference between those thoughts from the Holy Spirit and your own thoughts or thoughts from demons. The more verses you memorize, the more communication you will receive from the Holy Spirit. However, faith is always involved. You must have faith that God just spoke to you. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize thoughts from God and He will do so. Believe it or not, there is actually an easy and painless way to memorize scripture. This method is not original with me. It was taught to me years ago in a Bible study class. All you need is a Bible, a pen and some 3X5 index cards. Think about your daily life. Most all of us have some time during our day when we must engage in an activity that does not require us to think. For women, maybe it is when you are doing your hair and make-up in the morning. For men, maybe it is when you are shaving in the morning. Maybe it is during your commute to work. Find such a time in your daily life, and then dedicate that time to scripture memory. Choose a verse and write it on an index card. Write the reference first and last, like this: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Look at your card, and say the reference, then the verse, then the reference, out loud over and over again until you can say it through three times word perfect without looking at the card. This won't take more than a few minutes. Do this every day for one week. By the end of the week you will have the verse completely memorized and be able to say it through three times in just a few seconds. At the beginning of week number two write up another verse on an index card. Be sure to always put the reference before and after the verse. If you are ambitions, you can do a section of scripture with more than one verse at a time. First say the verse you have already memorized three times out loud, and then work on the second verse until you can say it through three times perfectly out loud without looking at the card. Do this every day for the second week. By the end of the week you will be able to say both verses through in just one minute or less. Week three, add another card and another verse. Each day, first say the verses you have already memorized, and then work on the new one. If you will say a verse through three times every day faithfully for three months, it will be sealed into your mind forever. Then you can start dropping off the first cards and no longer use them. However, it is good to go back and review now and then. Remember, your natural flesh is NOT going to want to memorize scripture. It will take a real act of discipline to force yourself to work on this every day, but it won't take more than a few minutes of your time. Here are a few keys. Never memorize different verses from the same book two or three weeks in a row. Memorize from one book the first week, from a different book the second week, and from yet a different book the third week. Then if you want to go back to the book of the first week after that you can. The reason for this is that if you try to memorize from the same book for several weeks in a row, you will tend to get the references mixed up. Secondly, memorize from only one version of the Bible. You will get very mixed up if you try to memorize from several different versions. Choose a version of the Bible that you can read and understand and stick with it. I personally recommend the Spirit Filled Life Bible in the New King James version. That's the one I use. I find it easy to read and understand, accurate, and with very good study notes. Above all I like it because it does not contain a denominational bias as so many other study Bibles do. When God puts a thought into your mind, you have to accept in faith that it is from Him. Remember, God assures us that: "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6 If you will be diligent about memorizing God's word and asking Him to speak to and make His voice known to you, He WILL do so. Will you ever make a mistake in thinking you are hearing from God? Most certainly! This is because we are all fallible human beings. Mistakes will be made, but don't get upset, simply trust that God will "work all things together for good." (Romans 8:28) God is able to take your worst mistakes and turn them to good. I remember one time when I spoke with a brother who read about learning to hear God speak to him personally. He had never been taught this is his particular church, but he wanted to hear form God and asked God to speak to him. The Lord did so, and for a while everything was wonderful. But then, this brother thought he heard God say something to him which turned out to be wrong. This resulted in so much disappointment and embarrassment for the brother that he declared to me, "I never want to hear form God again! I would much rather never hear form Him at all, than to make a mistake." How sad! Learning to "hear" from God is a skill that is developed over time just the same as any other skill. We will make mistakes along the way. But there are a couple of safeguards for us to use. First, God will NEVER tell you anything that goes against His word. This is why it is so important to study your Bible every day. Second, frequently ask the Holy Spirit to make you sensitive to the little "check" or hesitation He will put into you every time the demons put thoughts into your mind, or even if the thought is from you. He is always faithful to do this as He is our helper. God will never rush you into doing something that you have questions about. When demons put thoughts into your mind to try to make you think they came from God, they will try to rush you into taking action rashly. You will feel pressured to take action, and feel guilty if you do not. This will NOT be from God! Remember, God strongly desires to teach you to "hear" His voice clearly. When the Lord is putting previously memorized scriptures into your mind, usually He will then begin to speak to you through asking you to obey Him in something. For me, the Lord used the problem of the seat belt in my car. At that time I hated wearing a seat belt! I had trained my mind to NEVER think about putting my seat belt on when I got into the car. When the Lord started dealing with me on this topic, every time I got into my car the Lord would put a thought into my mind telling me to fasten my seat belt. If I obeyed Him immediately, He would speak to me again about something pretty quickly. If I did not obey Him, then He would not speak to me again for several days. God will do this in your life. As you progress in your relationship with Him, the first thing He will do is to bring to your attention things in your life that are not pleasing to Him. Be alert to this. Next, I will tell you some things you can do to help you be sure you are actually hearing from God. Rebecca.

2-0-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 5 What should you do if you think you "heard' from God about something but are not sure? The first thing you should do is search the scripture to make sure the thing you heard is not in any way contrary to God's Word. Secondly, pray silently and ask the Lord to bring you confirmation of some sort. The reason why you pray silently is because you do not want Satan's kingdom to know of your request and therefore try to bring you false confirmation. Satan and the demons cannot read our minds, and so not know what we are saying when we pray silently. One of the ways God frequently brings confirmation to me in such situations is through my husband. This is one of the wonderful things about being in a godly relationship with a spouse who is just as dedicated to serving the Lord as you are. Many times when I ask the Lord for confirmation, a couple of days later, suddenly Daniel will say, "You know, I think God has told me so and so." And it will be the exact same thing I was questioning. The Lord uses me in the same way in Daniel's life. If Daniel is questioning something, often God will speak to me about the same thing. As we share together about the things God has been speaking to us about, we find out that He is saying the same things to both of us independently. If you are not married, ask the Lord to allow you to develop a prayer partner or Bible study partner, someone with whom you fellowship on a regular basis. Often the Lord will bring confirmation to you through such a person. This is one of the reasons why it is so importantto fellowship with other Christians. Confirmation may also come through a verse from the Bible that just jumps out to you or though a sermon by your pastor, or through something someone else says. If confirmation does not come, do NOT act on the thoughts you are questioning. Sometimes God may not bring us confirmation about something for a long time, even years. Learn to take such questions before the Lord and then leave them with Him. He will respond to you in His own time and way. Do we need to blank out our minds in order to receive thoughts from God? Absolutely not! We are NEVER to blank out our minds. Rather we are to be in control of our thoughts at all times. The Holy Spirit is powerful enough to override ytour active busy mind whenever He wants to. In fact, that's often when the Lord will speak to you the most clearly, when He interrupts your flow of thoughts as you concentrate on your work or whatever activity you are engaged in. However, it is vitally important for us to set aside time each day to spend in reading the bible and in prayer. If we don't spend time with the Lord in this way on a daily basis, He will speak to us less and less. God will not always speak to us during our time of Bible study and prayer. Christians usually refer to th is timje of study and prayer as a "quiet time." Often, if we have asked Him a question during our quiet time, He will suddenly give us the answer later in the day when we least expect it. I remember the time when I had gone for several days without hearing form the Lord during my quiet times. At that time in my life I was spending the sunrises with the Lord each day outside sitting on a rock with my Bible. I was becoming a bit discouraged because I had not heard from the Lord during my quiet times for so many days. Then, one day, as I walked back to the house after my quiet time, suddenly the Lord spoke to me very clearly. He said, "Child, I so enjoyed that time with you! I look forward to spending the sunrises with you." "But Lord," I replied, "You haven't been speaking to me at all. It didn't seem to me like you were with me at all. I certainly haven't felt Your persence either." "Oh no," was His quick response. "Every time you sit down for your quiet time I am there with you. Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean that I am not there. I don't always have something to say. I simply enjoy being with you. Remember, I have ordained that you must live by faith. You will not often actually feel My presence." The Lord's response startled me. It never occurred to me that He would enjoy simply being with me in silence! I guess that somehow I always thought we must be talking in order to fellowship. That is not so. Even if you don't hear form the Lord, every time you turn your mind onto Him and His word and meditate on the things of God, the Lord simply enjoys being with you. Amazing isn't it? How often will the Lord speak to you? Find out in the next part. Rebecca.

2-11-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 6 How often will God speak to us? There is no set number of times. The Lord may not speak to you every day, or He may speak to you several times in a day. He may speak to you during your quiet time, but He may not. I always pray and ask the Lord to speak to me through His word when I sit down to read and study my Bible, but He doesn't always do so. However, there are specific things that will hinder the Lord from speaking to you. I will be discussing those later in these lessons. One thing is for sure. The less time you spend talking to the Lord and reading and studying His word, the less He will speak to you. He will not always speak to you just because you ask Him to, or desire an answer about something. The Lord wants us to serve Him as an act of our free will, not just for rewards. If we think that God should respond to us every time we speak to Him, or if we expect to "feel" His presence on a regular basis, we are doomed to disappointment. Hearing from the Lord and experiencing His presence is a privilege. We cannot control when these things happen. There will be times of testing when the Lord will not speak to us or allow us to experience His presence for an extended period of time. This is because He wants to make us stronger. He wants us to set our mind and heart to serve Him no matter what, and to walk faithfully with Him in spite of His silence. If you are currently in this situation, do not get discouraged. Simply keep seeking the Lord diligently, and eventually you will come through the test and receive communication from Him once again. You should get a bound book so the pages cannot come out, and keep a written record in it of all the things the Lord speaks to you and shows you. It is very encouraging to go back and review what you have written and you won't lose them by forgetting them. HOW DO WE SPEAK TO GOD EFFECTIVELY? Since we cannot perceive the spiritual realm with any of our physical senses, how do we communicate with this spiritual realm? How do we make God and spirits within the spiritual realm hear us? THROUGH THE AUDIBLE SPOKEN WORD, OR, IF YOU ARE MUTE, THROUGH SIGNING. Romans 10 says: " . . . if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10 Why is it necessary to "confess with the mouth?" This scripture clearly shows that it is necessary to speak your confession audibly, so that others can hear it. The New Testament was originally written in Greek. The meaning of the Greek word translated as "confess" in verse 9 means that a person is "entering into a legally binding spoken contract." This principle shows us that in order to clearly communicate with the spiritual realm, we must speak out loud. However, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, and God knows every thought that we think. The Lord hears us very clearly when we pray silently in our mind. Demons and angels cannot read our minds, so if we want them to hear us we must speak out loud. It is often helpful to pray out loud because it helps you to concentrate and helps to keep your mind from wondering. Jesus instructed us to make our requests known to God in His name. (John 14:12-14) Usually we pray directly to God the Father in the name of Jesus. THE KEY IS THAT ALL OUR PRAYERS MUST END IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Some churches teach that we are to pray to various "saints," asking them to intercede for us with Jesus. This is NOT according to God's word. God says: "For there is ONE God and ONE Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all." 1 Timothy 2:5-6 Jesus is our mediator, that is why we pray through His name, NOT to some man made "saint." What is the difference between praying and just talking to the Lord? Very little. A prayer is usually a specific request and therefore must always end in the name of Jesus. When we talk to the Lord, which we should be doing throughout the day, we do so the same as we talk with anyone else except of course, very respectfully. Make it a habit, instead of thinking only to yourself, to talk to the Lord about everything as you go about your day. You won't hear back from Him all the time, but He desires to hear from you, and we are instructed to keep our mind "fixed" on God and spiritual things. Directing conversation to the Lord throughout the day helps us to do this. One of the most effective ways of communicating with the Lord is to speak His word back to Him as well as to yourself. Learn to pray the scriptures. I have one book I use as my quiet time journal in which I write all the things the Lord teaches me, and another book as my prayer journal in which I keep written those scriptures the Lord has shown me I can use to pray back to Him. Every time you are impressed with a particular verse or section of scripture to use in prayer write it down! That way you won't forget it. Go through your prayer journal often to remind yourself of your "prayer verses." To give you an example, one of the sections I frequently use is as follows: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 "Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows -- bitter words, That they may shoot in secret at the blameless. . . But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded. So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away." Psalm 64:1-8 To be honest, most of my "prayer scriptures" come from the Psalms. When I am worried and troubled about something, when I cannot sleep because my mind is reviewing my problem over and over again, I first rebuke the demons putting the worry thoughts into my mind, then I speak my prayer verses to myself and to the Lord, asking Him to guard my heart and mind with His peace. I find this to be very effective. Both in quieting my mind and heart, and in bringing answers to my prayers. Many of you have been reading this series of lessons. Now I am asking something of you. Would you please send me your favorite "prayer scripture." I think it would be wonderful to read them, and helpful for all of us to share these scriptures. God speaks to us in many different ways. I will talk about a number of these in the next part. Rebecca

2-14-16 Good morning everyone, and happy Valentine's day to you all. I received a beautiful card from my husband. I thank God for giving me the privilege of having the love of a godly man like Daniel. My thanks to everyone that wrote in their favorite prayer scripture. I benefited by reading through them, and I hope the rest of you did too. LEARNING TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE - PART 7 Although God most frequently speaks to us by putting thoughts into our minds, He communicates with us in many different ways. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds." Hebrews 1:1-2 Scripture makes it clear that God speaks to us in many different ways. The most clear, of course, was directly through Jesus Christ, God Himself. Today, one of the ways the Lord may speak to us is through someone else. We often call this a word of prophecy, or a word of knowledge. The other person may be aware that God wishes to speak to you through them, or they may not. Often, after I have finished teaching, several people will come up to me and say, "You were speaking directly to me." I wasn't aware of it, but God used what I said to speak directly to a need someone was having. BEWARE! Do NOT become dependent on receiving a word form the Lord through someone else! If you do not learn to hear from the Lord directly, you will be very open to receiving a FALSE word through someone else. Jesus told us that a mark of the last days in which we are living would be false prophets. There are MANY false prophets functioning in the body of Christ today, and many more who are prophesying through their own flesh rather than from the Lord. GOD DOES NOT CHOOSE TO SPEAK TO YOU REGULARLY OR FREQUENTLY THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE. HE WANTS YOU TO DO THE WORK OF STRUGGLING TO HEAR FROM HIM YOURSELF. If the Lord does choose to speak through someone else to give you a word, it will usually be a rare occurrence, and usually will be a confirmation of something He has already been saying to you. If the so called word, or prophecy is something new, I strongly urge you to not accept it as being from the Lord until the Lord brings some sort of independent confirmation to you. Remember, God is not a fortune teller, and neither are His prophets. His true prophets, that is. False prophets will frequently try to tell the future. A true word from the Lord will NEVER be contrary to anything in scripture. I urge you to read an excellent book on this subject by John Bevere, titled Thus Saith The Lord. It will help you discern if someone is speaking from their flesh or by a demon spirit. The most common request that I get is from people asking me to pray and ask the Lord to give me a word for them. God RARELY chooses to do so, and I rarely ask Him. People find that it is so much easier to hear from God through someone else, that they prefer it rather than struggling to learn to hear God's voice themselves. Also, many times God wants to build our faith, so He chooses to withhold an answer from us for a period of time. Learn to wait patiently on the Lord instead of running around to other people asking them to try to get an answer from God for you. Far too often, if they do, it will be the wrong word. You most certainly can ask someone close to you to pray and seek the Lord for confirmation on something, but be fully aware that God may or may not choose to give such confirmation. Often Daniel and I will each pray for guidance on a specific issue. Almost always the Lord gives both of us the same answer independently at separate times. Sometimes, He will choose to speak about the matter to only one of us. Be careful about who you have pray for you. The scripture in James chapter 5 instructs us to have the elders pray for us. an elder is someone in the body where you fellowship who you know personally. You KNOW he or she is living a godly and cleansed life. The laying on of hands in prayer is a valid scriptural ministry. But we are instructed to have the elders of our local body pray for us in such a way. It is not nearly so glamorous or exciting to have someone in your local church pray for you as it is to have someone famous in a big ministry pray for you. Be careful! You do not really know someone famous. You have no way of knowing if he or she is living a cleansed life. When you allow someone to lay hands on you and pray for you, you submit to them and are willing to receive an impartation from them. If they do not have a cleansed life, they may very well impart an evil spirit to you. This is a source of great trouble in the lives of God's people. To be continued in Part 8. Rebecca.

2-16-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 8 God frequently will communicate with us through His word. This is why it is so important to spend time every day reading and studying God's word. As you sit down to have a quiet time, always start by asking the Lord to speak to you through His word. Many times as you read, a particular verse will just jump out at you. Suddenly you will just KNOW that God is speaking to you through that verse. You don't have to jump around in the Bible for this to happen. I do not do that. I always read straight through a book, or through the New Testament or Old Testament. I frequently read through some of the New Testament and the Old Testament during each quiet time. I don't jump around, I read straight through. God is able to use His word to speak to you no matter where you are reading in the Bible. Sometimes, suddenly you will understand a particular passage of scripture that you had not understood before. This will be the Holy Spirit teaching you directly. I love it when the Lord communicates with me in this way. I almost always read from the Psalms in addition to whatever else I am reading. The Psalms are an incredibly rich source of "prayer scriptures." Often the Lord will quicken a verse or section of a Psalm to me and direct me to pray it back to Him about a particular situation in my life. Sometimes the Lord will communicate to us through an experience in the spiritual realm. We Christians call these experiences visions or dreams. A vision is an episode when we suddenly receive clear vision into the spirit realm, but occasionally we may confuse such an experience with a dream. Experiences in the spirit realm are real, and must be dealt with as such. Any threat from the demonic realm, for instance, must be immediately dealt with through Jesus Christ. We must not just ignore it and assume it was a dream. Experiences in the spirit realm are outside of time, because time does not exist in the spirit realm as it does in the physical realm. In the spirit realm we may be taken back to the past or forward into the future as the apostle John was when he received the experience he wrote down in the book of Revelation. We will be aware of the fact that what we are seeing and hearing is not from the physical realm. Visions may occur while we are awake as well as when we are asleep. When they occur during our sleep they will come to us as a memory after we wake up. Many time experiences in the spirit realm come to us as a memory and we don't know exactly when they happened and were not consciously aware of these experiences at the time they happened whether we were awake or asleep. Not ALL dreams are from the Lord, or have some deep meaning. Don't get lead astray by thinking that you must find some significant meaning to all your dreams. Most dreams are just that, crazy and mixed up. They don't mean anything. Tormenting nightmares come from demons. (If you are being tormented by nightmares, you need to anoint and cleanse and seal your living quarters. I have written how to do this in the booklet titled Protecting Your Fortress. Sometimes you will need to take your case into God's court room to get the nightmares to stop. I have written about this in the book Standing On The Rock. Both books are available through our web site bookstore.) Experiences in the spirit realm during our sleep are different from dreams in that they are vividly clear and logical. We usually have a clear memory of an experience in the spirit realm. We often do not have a clear memory of a dream, and dreams rarely make much sense. Dreams from the Lord are much more clear and logical than normal dreams. Sometimes we are clearly conscious and aware that we are in the midst of an experience in the spirit realm, but more often it will come to us as a memory. We do NOT have experiences in the spirit realm whenever we want, we do NOT control what happens during these experiences, except in the case where we must rebuke a demon in the name of Jesus, and we are usually not aware of the passage of time in the physical realm during the experience. Dreams from the Lord sometimes need interpretation, but experiences in the spirit realm are usually clearly understood at the time. We do NOT have experiences in the spirit realm or dreams from the Lord regularly, or when we want them. Usually they are infrequent; some people have such experiences or dreams much more frequently than others. BUT THE KEY IS, THEY ARE ALL ALWAYS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Some people have visions and dreams much more frequently than others. If you do, be careful. The more you have experiences in the spirit realm, the more Satan will petition the Lord for time to deceive you through such experiences. Always be sure that you experience lines up with God's word before you accept it as being from the Lord. Next time I will write about the things that hinder us from hearing from the Lord. Rebecca.

2-19-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 9 Hindrances to Hearing God's Voice I know this will not be pleasant or exciting reading, but if you are really serious about developing a close personal relationship with God, you must push on. There are a number of things that will hinder us from clearly hearing God's voice. The most common one is active sin and past sins in our lives that have not been cleansed. "Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him." John 9:31 You will NOT hear from the Lord if you are engaged in active sin. Also, if you have never cleansed your life, you will have great difficulty hearing from the Lord even if you do not have active sin in your life currently. It is of utmost importance that you take the time and make the effort to thoroughly cleanse your life from sin. I have written a little booklet titled, Why Do I Need A Savior, A Guide to Cleansing Your Life From Sin. I urge you to get it through our web site bookstore, and DO exactly what it tells you to do. If you will cleanse your life from sin, you will be amazed at what a difference it will make! The Holy Spirit will then be free to move in your life and speak to you much more clearly. If the Lord is not speaking to you or if you are having difficulty hearing from Him, the first thing you should do is examine your life for sin, and ask the Holy Spirit to convict you if there is any sin in your life that you have not dealt with. "Husbands, like wise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." 1 Peter 3:7 Husbands and wives beware, if your relationship with one another is not right, if you are angry with your spouse, or bitter toward him or her, or have unforgiveness in your heart toward your spouse, your prayers will be hindered, and God most likely will not speak to you except to convict you of your sin toward your spouse. The next most common thing to hinder us from hearing the Lord is our emotions. When we are in a crisis our emotions are all stirred up, and it becomes nearly impossible to hear from the Lord. There is no sin involved in this, it is simply a fact that the more our flesh is stirred up, the more difficult it becomes to hear from the Lord. In such situations, it is more likely that we will tend to accept our own thoughts as being from the Lord, especially when it is something we want very badly, such as the healing of a loved one. Most prophecies or words you receive from someone else in such difficult situations will affect others in the same way. Most prophecies or words you receive from someone else in such difficult situations will be from the flesh of the giver rather than the Lord. This has been demonstrated over and over again by the many times someone will be given a supposed word from the Lord or a prophecy that God is going to heal their loved one and raise him or her up, when in the end the person dies instead. It is very difficult for anyone to receive a word from the Lord that it is His plan to take someone home instead of healing the person. Daniel and I recently experienced this with a dear friend. Her husband had a several year battle with cancer. Two times as our friend prayed earnestly for her husband's healing, the Lord spoke to her and told her that He would heal him. The Lord did so both times in a very miraculous way. However, the third time, when the cancer came back, in spite of the fact that she received a number of prophecies and words from different people that her husband would be healed, the Lord took him home. This upset her very much. She and her husband had been married many years and had a wonderful marriage. They had faithfully served the Lord together all the years of their marriage. During his last illness, even her husband thought the Lord had spoken to him telling him that He would be healed. As a result, his death came as a terrible shock to her. She was immediately thrust into an incredible struggle. She was very angry and stated that she would NEVER accept a personal prophecy again. Not only was she angry with those who had given the erroneous words to her, she also struggled with anger toward God, feeling that He had betrayed her. How much additional suffering could our friend have been spared if all the people giving her prophecies of healing and recognized their own difficulties in hearing accurately from the Lord in such a circumstance, and had refused to jump in and give a prophecy that came from their flesh instead of from the Lord. Each on of them loved our friend's husband, and clearly did not want him to die. NONE of us has the wisdom to decide who should live and who should die. We should ALL be slow to give any prophecy or word supposedly from the Lord in such difficult situations, recognizing our own difficulties in hearing accurately from the Lord when our emotions are so involved. The solution to this sort of situation is to be in covenant relationship with the Lord so that you are prepared for the crisis in advance. God wants to prepare His people in advance for the difficult problems that are going to come into their life. He does this through covenants. I have written extensively about this important weapon of warfare in my book Standing On The Rock. I urge you to read it. You can obtain it only through our web site bookstore. If you find yourself in such a difficult situation where you have no idea what God's will is, be aware of the fact that both you and others will have a most difficult time hearing from the Lord. In such situations, I always question anything I think I am hearing the Lord say to me about it. I always pray and make clear that above all, I want God's perfect will to be done, and wait to see what the Lord will do. I KNOW that God is powerful enough to break through my emotions to speak to me clearly if He so chooses, but most frequently He does not choose to do so. Waiting is difficult. I continue to pray according to what I think God's will is, and simply trust that God the Father has a reason good enough for whatever He allows to happen. I hang on to the promise in Romans 8:27-28 that God will work all things together for good, and rest in the fact that I KNOW that my life and the lives of my loved ones are safely in the palm of God's hand. I may never know why God allows what He had allowed to come into my life as long as I am here on earth, I simply trust in Him. Lastly, as I have already written, we will always have times of difficulty hearing from the Lord accurately because while we are here on earth, we inhabit a sinful physical body, and our souls are the seat of our sin nature. Sin will always be a hindrance to the working of the Holy Spirit in our life. However, take comfort in this. God promises that if you will diligently seek Him, He WILL be found by you. God delights to reveal Himself to you. As you continue to earnestly ask Him to teach you to hear His voice, He will do so. The more you practice, the more skillful you will become in hearing from the Lord, in being able to recognize the thoughts that are from Him. The more time we spend in God's word, meditating on the Lord and heavenly things, the more time we spend in prayer, the more we memorize scripture, and the more we take our thoughts captive to make them obedient to Jesus Christ, the more God will speak to us. We can have no greater treasure than a personal relationship with and experience of God! Rebecca

[size=4pt]

Danki:


Sister, at the risk of sounding like I'm not stable or born again; my spirit tells me she's of God but being used by the devil. They got hold of her since when she was a kid. Imagine, being lied to, given some powers and threatened since the age of 9.

I'm the only person this girl listens to. If she's angry, herfamily will call me to talk to her. And on hearing my voice, that solves whatever problem it is. If she's angry, and she hears my voice, she begins to act like its Christmas day.

She always tell me because of the work God wants us to do on earth, the devil will always try to break us or make sure we don't get married. And that was the reason she didn't even bother to wait for me to propose before she got herself the engagement ring. A girl who has been so anxious about marrying me all of a sudden cheated on me just the time she even suggested we got married whether we have anything or not. Just the one time i opened my mouth to tell her to go and prepare for our marriage, the evil spirit made her fall in love with the old pastor. And even at that, she gets very angry and depressed anytime I reminded her of the incident. She has knelt down, cried heavily and pleaded that I should never remind her of that. And remember, she called me right from the man's bed to tell me to meet her up somewhere so she could tell me of the incident. She said she realized where she was the moment the man mounted her and she cried all through.

She said the pastor was supposed to help her. But either the demons used her to seduce the pastor or the pastor is an agent used to destroy our now cancelled marriage. My pastor friend said the pastor is an agent. A big one at that. My ex also told me that she discarned that the pastor saw her gifts and wanted to steal her glory in the name of saving her. But she doesnt know what attracted to him in the first place. The money and expensive gifts the pastor gave her on different occasions were all stolen or misplaced of which I witnessed. ( I didn't know it was his money until she slept with him and she confessed).

And so you should know, this pastor is a divorcée and a soulless liar. A pastor I confronted about formication and breaking our engagement and he told me I was blabbering and that I should sort myself out. I was really shocked that day.
Remember, I told you an angel visited her, held her hand firmly and told her never to cheat on me with the pastor. She ran to to me crying and hugged me tightly and told me never to leave if anything happens. She cried heavily that day. I guess she already saw that she may not be able to resist temptation to cheat. A week later, she slept with this pastor.
Before now, she has told me that she will betray me and I will despise her for months no matter how much she begs. But God will reveal to me when she truly becomes born again. That this incident will be the turning point in her life. The time she will hear that I'm getting married to someone else. It will be then she will make a pact with God. (She doesn't tell me negative things about her directly. She uses parables. And when she does, she doesn't remember doing so)

The first time she met this pastor, she told me the man will be the one to help her out. I was confused cos she has been saying that I will be the one that Jesus will use to save her. That without me, she would amount to nothing on earth here just like she has been a mess from childhood, achieving nothing until she met me.
Not that I was too carried away about saving somebody, a couple random prophet from childhood, my dreams and that gut feeling in me tells me. It has little or nothing to do of love but I feel responsible for this girl. But of course, I know I can't help her now until she's 100% ready for Christ.

I've tried making friends with one or two other ladies who seem to know Christ. Serious church workers. But what I saw in my dreams were terrible. Men lining up to have sex with her. I was like how can such a girl do that? I made a little enquiries and my findings were overwhelming. Very disgusting. Well, the point I'm trying to make is that whenever I have such dreams about these random girls, I just turn around and leave immediately. But for my ex, I usually hang around trying to stop her from walking the wrong way( not sex, the omly time i saw her have sex was the one with pastor) she never listens anyway. But I never leave. And its never because of love nor did I force myself to stay.

I've cried and pleaded with God to show me the end of those dreams just like how he shows me about other girls. But God has never done that even with over 40 dreams about this girl with the dream always cutting off at the point. Well, except with the one I dreamt about her 5 years before I met her.

And less I forget, I saw this pastor in my dream and asked him why he slept with my ex and he replied that it was a mistake, it happened only once and will never repeat itself again. Which reminds me of when my ex told me that when we seperate, that I will be surprised to hear at the end of the day that she never slept with anybody again.

With all these, I've come to realize that she will except Christ when she gets a shocking encounter like I had 4 years ago. And this shocking encounter may be when she hears of my intending marriage with another girl. A girl she has always told me will come into my life because of my impatience to hear the final word from God on my life partner. And when God final reveals to me my wife, I would not listen because I would want to punish her (my ex).

This my ex never takes it lightly whenever I sin (well, apart from sex) she always tell me that God is not happy especially when I sin. And when I ask why my own sin gets God angrier, she would simply say that I don't understand who I am to God, that if i understood, I won't be doing a lot of things. But when she's in another mood, she would not mind me doing those things... Lol.

Finally, I've made up my mind long time ago not to keep waiting for her to turn to Christ. I will keep seeking for God's will in my life like brethren here have advised.

And to be very honest with you, I would not have really understood God or be conscious of the spirit world if I didn't meet this girl.

Brother Danki, I hear all you are saying. This was why I raised those concerns earlier and reminded you "disobedience is worse than witchcraft" in God's eyes!


Unrequited love is not a new thing under the sun and I understand this lady has played with your emotion badly but you have to be guarded and minded that she is under bondage and not in control of her emotions and behaviour save for those few instances God has been using her to let you know He is still on the throne and the breath and soul of every living being is in His hands...


The Gospel of peace we bear is about loving God and loving our neighbours as ourselves, and this unwittingly entails us loving the unlovables and undesirables amongst us, without discrimination. This is why even the books of Romans reminds us to "feed our enemies when they are hungry"...


Marriage for most people just involves people meeting someone their heart desires and them coming together to make a home, but for some Elects of God, (Prophetic Ministry in this case) whom hath been predestined and chosen before the foundations of the earth, we are part of God's watchmen who have greater assignments on earth and have been fully equipped to be fearless and bold as a lion, being called upon to propagate the Gospel of Christ, worship, proclaim, pray, watch over the word of our Lord God, calls to repentance, admonish, cast out, encourage, mediate, direct, uproot, establish, decree, pull down, bear the infirmities of the weak, burden-bearers, encourage, intercede, counsel, teach, etc...hence reason God atimes have to step in so His mandate for our lives would not be derailed by the evil ones.


Apart from foretelling and confirming the word of God, part of Prophetic Ministry involves an appointment over nations and kingdoms to uproot, overthrow, plant etc...and you mentioned that this lady comes from a family of broken homes and broken dreams where there is a pattern of wilful destruction and you are the only person this lady listens to and you have been called on many times to talk sense into her!


Has it ever occurred to you that there is an evil kingdom in that family that God has handpicked you or the seed of your loin to expose and uproot and intercede for that family? Imagine the number of people suffering in that family!!! And from all you have been posting you have the hallmark of a confrontational Prophet, just like the Lord led Brother CharlyG1 to confirm to me too earlier on in this thread! I briefly touched on earlier how I have also always gotten some strange messages to pass onto people and atimes people in authority...even some nairalanders...


Generally speaking, life is not about us but about serving others even to the point of discomfort, so you also have to seek God's face to open your eyes and help you get rid of the "me, me, me or over-my-dead-body mentality of this generation". As a Christian, part of our calling is to lead souls to Christ without judgement and since God created us all, don't be shocked if your life partner is one of such undesirable miscreants whose soul is still very much valued by our Lord God! You mentioned Hosea so why can't it be you! You are an uncommon person Sir, always remember that.


I am not here to force your hands but stand by you and remind you of the need to carefully weigh this situation lest you miss the gifts God has in store for you due to you hardening your heart, which that last Prophet also confirmed...I was in similar situation to yours and was saying me-and-this-one-Olorunmaje-over-my-dead-body, but in the end, I got my answer when I randomly pinged someone about 3 years ago and - without going into details - asked her what happens if one refused to do the will of God, and her one-line response, even though short was - "hellfire straight"...


Just as God works out everything out for good, Satan is also always looking for how to make everything work out for bad, so please keep seeking God's face and stop confusing yourself with stuffs such as "because it was only my dream 4 years ago that revealed we got married, maybe she manipulated just that one dream out of the over 50 dreams I have had about her" and for all you know this your case might be one of the classical ones of God using what they meant for evil for you to work it out for good for you...


So please don't be selective here and close your mind to her side. God loves us all equally and is no respecter of anyone or their feelings...The battle is the Lord's and we are very small in the grand scheme of things. It all simply boils down to Satan emptily decreeing to make all souls follow him to hell and God standing in the gap for us to the extent of using His beloved Son Jesus Christ as a ransom to make sure we ALL make heaven because He loves us and desires the best for us...


Pastor Adeboye once shared a message where God told him to draw the picture of a man in the sand and when he finished, God told him to wipe it off which took him seconds to do...then God told him He can wipe him(Adeboye) off same way in the twinkling of an eye...SO BROTHER DANKI, IT IS INDEED TRUE THAT WE ARE ALL LIKE GRASSHOPPERS IN GOD'S SIGHT! Who is man that He is mindful of us, it is simply because God loves us, nothing more nothing less, so we have been called to love each other...It is well!

And for you, I miss you so much I wanna cry

Danki:
Bless you sister Busybody.

I've heard what you said. Though VERY VERY hard, I will always try not to be selective of the instructions of God on this issue. Not because of hellfire but because I just love God.

I had a dream last night where my ex, the pastor, some brethren and I were in a Bible study. The pastor was preaching while my ex was listening and taking notes with all sincerity. But turning to the pastor, I didn't see any sincerity in him. So, I got angry and told them to continue deceiving her. They all started crying including the pastor pleading with me not to leave. But I left.

As I left the building, the pastor sneaked out through the back door to meet me. He was angry and started insulting me. He said because of me, the girl is paying too much attention to the word of God. That I should leave her alone. I told him I'm not holding her.

Before I knew it, the pastor started getting physical. He started throwing stuffs at me. Then he multiplied into 4 different women throwing stuffs at me. I started running and they were chasing me. In the process, I noticed that somebody was with me and defending all those things being thrown at me. Next thing, I flew far away from them into another big city.

In the past, my ex never notices me in my dream talkless of crying if I tell her I'm leaving.

if I may ask sir, do you understand/know the meaning of this dream?

Thank you for those teaching ccolins, you share with us.

mercyoverflow:
Thank you very much my dear brothers and sisters.I really appreciate your prayers and words of encouragements and i say a very big AMEN to all your prayers.

i feel a whole lot better now. i shall take that bold step of faith, and i shall come and testify to the Glory of God

God bless you all

please, don't do something silly in the name of 'faith' . I hear many say 'reject it and go for test'. Nice. But na so e easy. Na beans. Dont go to the doctor, see a positive report you might collapse in hopelessness. Seek God on the matter. Really seek Him and hear what He wants you to do.
Second, dyu anything about faith,the anointing of God and how they work?
If no, get an education. Buy books, buy tapes. Begin to feed on these things.
Faith is a university, its deep.
It's not bravado.
Faith is also a fight.
I've seen people get attacked with life threatening diseases, cancer etc. They thought they knew God and how his power works. They thought they knew how faith operates.
At first,they were bold and loud,
(think sunny okosun), pastors, prayer warriors came and prayed and prayed and did vigil. In the end they died and into the ground they went.
I thought hard about these incidents. Some survived because of the effort of good medical doctors (money) but when strong enough they talked braggingly of how their prayers helped them.

What am I saying.

You have to know how these things operate before you attempt them.
It is the knowledge of the truth that sets you free.
You have to be so immersed in the truth of God's word that unconsciously, it begins to bubble out of your mouth. Like when a tank is full and starts overflowing.
But you're the one responsible for plugging in the nozzle God's word into your body and pumping in the word.
And it may take a long time before you even see results in your body (not what we wish for but that's how it may happen).
Good luck.

Danki:


Not really sir. And that's the reason I'm here.

But if I should take a shot, I would say maybe the girl is beginning to pay attention to the words of God because I told her that even if we are meant to be together that I will never be yoked with an unbeliever again. I will also be attacked by the demons trying to ruin her.

Before I had the dream I narrated above, I had one I wouldn't want to disclose here for identity purposes. I knew that if that heppens, she will run to God like a mad dog. But I'm just so afraid of not accepting her back if its God's wish.

Tell me what you think about the dream.

Bro, someone is like advising you to still retain the lady in question.
But it seems your trying to accept such advice.

YOU ARE PLAYING WITH YOUR LIFE AND YOUR GOD GIVEN ASSIGNMENT.

The dream you share involved the same pastor again with that lady and you. You tried to leave but they want you to retain to continue with them.....in those action.
The preach the man was given is not the word of God cos it was confirm by you in that revelation with this your two speeches '''no sincerity in him and also continue in deceiving her'''.
DONT BE DECEIVE BRO.
GUARD YOUR SALVATION.
AND ALSO DEAL WITH LUSTFUL SPIRIT.
Na so i understand your plight.

Now let me break this down to Kindergarten level so you might understand better. Once upon a time, Brother Danki was in love with this lady, BUT now he passionately detests this lady and wants nothing to do with her again because she cheated on him and has behaved nastily to him and treated him shabbily on several occasion...


God has used Danki many times via the gift of dreams and has given him many recurrent dreams concerning this lady till date, as well as dreams concerning others, with 100% accuracy...He loves God a lot but is scared he would disobey God if told this lady is his God-ordained wife because he now hates her!


Comprende?!

Danki:


So many of you are misunderstanding me and maybe my dreams. God never makes mistakes with what he tells me in my dreams. He never speaks to me in parables so that I won't have any reason to say I didn't understand.
Just like 2 days ago, I dreamt of a childhood friend of mine in a very sad state. He was staring at me like someone who needs help/advice from me but I didn't bother to walk up to him to find out what he's going through. Simply because he likes feeling big when we were growing up. Just last night, I got a sad news that he lost his youthful wife. Could I have helped her if I had dropped my pride and stubbornness and called him immediately after the dream?

The pastor got her hooked in real life by preaching the real words of God to her. Then, they used that avenue to track her. Same thing in the dream but the difference is that instead of being carried away by the flesh, she is hooked to the words of God. And that was why the pastor sneaked out through the back door to confront me. Meaning, the girl is now paying more attention to the words of God more than required.
The Bible study and preaching was genuine but the preacher had a malicious intent and that was why I called him out.

Please speak for yourself, cos reuniting or lusting after her is NOT the issue here. Disobedience to God is my issue.

And please, don't bother about my soul. We should bother more about the afflicted except they are irredeemable like most of us here believe.

Having read your conversation and the likes.

Nothing anybody tells you is the final. ? Only God has can do that..

Nobody has God in his pocket and Nobody has the monopoly of God..

Bros I think the major problem you have is you have not fully discovered yourself.

Spirituality is a very deep thing and it is only what Hod reveals that we know.

What am trying to tell you, leave the girl alone for noe, Chop enough fire, discover your self. Then you fan help her and marry her if you are lead to

If the babe is even the wife of lucifer there is no one that is beyond redemption if she believes God can save and redeem he will thru is son Jesus Christ.

Bro, the kind of gift you possess is very unique, u need to find your footing and then, God would do the rest for you.

Prace

@Danki God help you to follow His banner, and to serve him wherever you go.
The story between you and the lady raised concern, I dont want to comment in the first place but i cant but to contribute.

You see God Almighty will not trouble with a future wife if destined together (a prudent wife is from the LORD). If God has a ministry for you wanted both of you to be together so she can support, HE would have prepared her before you meet her [it was no coincidence that Abraham servant meet Rebecca at the well, why not someone else). Pls be guided. In the other way if God wanted to use her and and wanted you to be on her side as support, then she is not ready yet for God, she may think God as a Big Deal for and can take on it latter, she get wrong.

On her dream and gift I have every reason to doubt it, due to the fact that both of you had shared the vision you both have, yet she went ahead cheating. From your comment, I have notice deception, lying and manipulation.

Concerning her being the the will of God for you in Marriage, I quote this from W.F. Kumuyi "Anything GOOD and GODLY is the will of God". The lady may be good, but she lack godliness (am not judging), even in the first place. Dont be so carried away by her gift or mission. Yes forgive her for her wrong doing. but be aware that [My Opinion] that you are not disobeying God for separating from her the Bible support it (Matt 5vs32, 1Cor7vs15) and you guys have not being join yet.

Your dreams can be accurate, but what if she is not ready for you, God doesn't tamper with our freewill. if your are moving forward without her, Just commit all to God, he will direct your path

Lastly, Dont be bent on being the one destined to Help her out of her situation, remember Elijah thought he was the only prophet remained that have not bow down to baal, but God proved him wrong, that there were other 7000 who have not worship baal. Save yourself first and when you are strong and dogged you can threw the lifeline. God is watching and can use anybody to help her out; but Save yourself first, you cant save her when she is not ready to be saved.

Shalom

Gboliwe is a lady?
**faints***

Well, she has a lot to share, just that she is shy

Lol, she is a fully fledged lady Sir.

Gboliwe:

Vooks thought I was coming to steal you away and rightly so. I won't talk to vooks or get water to make him wake from his fainting spell sef till he does the needful. *rolls eyes.
And for you, I miss you so much I wanna cry

Hehehe, abeg free gentleman Vooks Biko. How have you been? Missed you too. I will get in touch with you soon dear.


Hmmm, is Vooks right with his assertion that you have a story to share

Danki:
Bless you sister Busybody.

I've heard what you said. Though VERY VERY hard, I will always try not to be selective of the instructions of God on this issue. Not because of hellfire but because I just love God.

I had a dream last night where my ex, the pastor, some brethren and I were in a Bible study. The pastor was preaching while my ex was listening and taking notes with all sincerity. But turning to the pastor, I didn't see any sincerity in him. So, I got angry and told them to continue deceiving her. They all started crying including the pastor pleading with me not to leave. But I left.

As I left the building, the pastor sneaked out through the back door to meet me. He was angry and started insulting me. He said because of me, the girl is paying too much attention to the word of God. That I should leave her alone. I told him I'm not holding her.

Before I knew it, the pastor started getting physical. He started throwing stuffs at me. Then he multiplied into 4 different women throwing stuffs at me. I started running and they were chasing me. In the process, I noticed that somebody was with me and defending all those things being thrown at me. Next thing, I flew far away from them into another big city.

In the past, my ex never notices me in my dream talkless of crying if I tell her I'm leaving.

•You mentioned in your post earlier that you left this lady last October 2015, meaning you have already cut the lady off since.

•You mentioned that you are currently serving God to the best of your ability and you love Him dearly.

•your sole concern is why God is still sending you dreams about this girl 4 months after you broke up with her when you are no longer interested in her because of all the horrible stuffs she did to you. And your fear is heightened because you know God has been known to hook up Prophets with wives, so you need a way to dodge this without offending God...


Hmmm, if the sources of the dream was from the devil, you could pray to God to cancel them and stop them coming, BUT your dilemma is that these dreams are originating from our unquestionable Almighty God, hmmm...


God loves you too and He will make a way for you in Jesus' name!

Busybody pls why are you trying so hard to convince this guy otherwise? The handwriting is clear on the wall! I have been following ur pet talk to him about not disobeying God and to make sure this lady is from God but how can God saddle us with someone who'd leave us little rest of mind..

A lot of the brethren that spoke before on this issue are now quiet cos it feels their advise isn't holding water and to think you have created that seed of doubt in Danki's mind.

@Danki if you're indecisive and still on the fence about this then you need to take time out and pray for discernment and clarity on these dreams and the messages inherent. As goodmuyis rightly said 'if it is good and godly then it's from God'

It is out of utter concern n love of God that everyone has given their opinion in fact if not for the way busybody keeps tryna convince you and the seemingly effect it's having on you I was just silently reading till it was really laid upon my heart to write..

Remember everyone cannot agree just for the sake of it... please seek the face of God on this and remember not all dreams are from God plus you had a strong connection to this lady for sometime and its only logical you keep having series of dreams about her that could still be manipulated to confuse n deceive you...

Please save yourself of this threshold and move on, there is no saying if really this woman was destined for you as you strongly believed!

Cc: bro Charles, oyeludef, goodmuyis, nnamdiosu, vooks, analice, great0, superior1 please don't be silent on this, I'm not happy seeing danki's mind is being wavered!!!

People keep advising Danki to run and start fellowshipping with God.Danki repeatedly keeps saying he ran months ago because this girl mocks him he is not rich enough/she doesn't love him/she dumps him when he is low on funds/she taunts him that he will be back to wife her

Danki keeps stating he does not want to boast but he is almost 100% holy that his ONLY concern is why God is still giving him dreams about this girl that he now hates


Keep ignorantly attacking me and calling others to come and attack me too for trying to think outside the box and not join the crowd by telling him to run and pray WHICH HE ALREADY KNOWS AND HAS BEEN DOING!!! And keep condemning me by lying that I am trying to change his mind to force him to marry her. Thank God you are not God




***Ignored henceforth***

My dear Gboliwe, please ignore the nasty *we-don't-want-you-here-welcome* from Dazzle101 above. You have not committed any crime by stating you just stumbled on this thread...so feel free to read through the thread in your own time and come and share as Vooks suggested. God bless you Sis.

FEAR.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man who loved to travel. In his thirst for knowledge, he moved from village to village, town to town, drinking in Wisdom and recording everything that happened and what he saw.
Eventually, he came, to a beautiful village slumbering at the foot of a mountain surrounded on all sides by Green Hills where gentle winds blew intermittently, delighting the mind and refreshing the heart.
But in this beautiful village he was shocked to see that, the inhabitants were sad, they moved sluggishly, dragging their feet. To him they appeared no more than moving phantoms, without souls(conciousness), their sight terrified him. He became determined to find out what made them so he set off to see a fabled wise man who lived alone, in a hut, cut off from the village and it's inhabitants.
When he met the wise man, he asked what secret lay behind this great paradox. He asked why these people lived in a state of subjugation and dejection in a village where everything would seem to suggest that the people would be blessed with happiness and well-being. The Sage came out of his hut and pointed towards the top of the mountain. "Look at that peak. An enormous Ogre sits up there. From where he sits he raves and shrieks, falling people's hearts with fear by threatening to gobble them up if they leave thier homes or do any kind of work at all.
The people, terrorized by his shrieks, can live only by stealth. Only their survival instinct keeps them going. They steal out like mice to gather enough to keep body and soul together. They live day by day, waiting patiently for the moment of their death. Their fear of this Ogre has sapped their intellect and depleted their physical powers, reducing them to despair and hopelessness."

The young man thought for a while and said, I'm going to the top of the mountain. I will talk to the Ogre ask him what makes him threaten and frighten these people. I want to know why he won't let these people lead their lives in peace and safety.
"Go up to the mountain top? No sane person would risk his life by daring to meet the Ogre. I implore you not to do that for the sake of your dear life, young man!" the Sage said.
But the young man will not be desuaded. He was determined to do what he believed had to be done. And so, with slow but sure steps, he started on his way to the peak of the mountain.
When the young man reached the peak, the Ogre indeed seem large at first; however, what he found as he walked on astonished him. The closet he got, the smaller the Ogre became. By the time he arrived he found that this great Ogre who terrorized the whole town was smaller than his little finger. The young man flattened his hand, held out his palm,and the tiny Ogre Jumped onto it.

"Who are you?"the young man asked.
" I am FEAR, " the Ogre replied.
" FEAR OF WHAT?" the young man asked.
"That depends on who you are. How each person sees me depends on how he imagines me.
Some people fear illness, they see me as disease. Others fear poverty, so they see me as poverty. Others fear authority, so they see authority in me.
Some fear injustice, others fear wile beast or storm, so that's how I appear to them.
He who fears water sees me as a torrent,
He who fears war perceives in me an army, an ammunition.
"BUT WHY DO THEY SEE YOU BIGGER THAN YOU REALLY ARE?"
"To each person I appear as big as his FEAR. And as long as they refuse to approach and confront me, they will never know my true size."

When you confront your fears, you will see that there's nothing there. Kill that fear in you.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear again to bondage, but the spirit of power and of a sound d mind wherefore we cry out, Abba father.
Amen.
