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

2-0-16 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.

2-1-16 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.

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.

2-22-16 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

Brother, I greet you with love in my heart.
I have something to say, and if it comes out wrong, cast my words off but not me. Thank you.
Bros, earlier on this thread you talked about your family. Your mum being financially stable, but you have issues with her because she's not born again. Now, don't you think it's wisdom for you to allow your family see you through school? God who gave you to them as a son is not stupid you know? God knows your mum and He knows she's not a believer yet, but she's still your mum and has a responsibility towards you. Go to school. Graduate first, balance, even then, your family is still your family. You owe your mum prayers.

Pls let things be done decently and in order, lest Satan take occasion and infiltrate this thread.
The Lord expects you to ask him, rely on Him, and trust Him to provide your needs.
I think, haven asked once, it's okay. We are not here for bazaar. If folk who don't even have parents like you, shd flood this thread begging for assistance, then what keeps the Brethren here will fizzle out. Everyone, I mean everyone, has issues.
I will advice, go home to your mum, ask for your school fees, when you are done with school, then you can do as you pls. But then, Christ still counts on you to honour your parents whether they good or bad, believers or not.
Souls are being saved here. Let's not discourage the Brethren.

Brother Charles is so modest so won't say anything. Am sorry, someone has to say it before it gets out of hand. Before long, someone else will post account details here begging for money. That's not why we are here pls.
I know but no time and I have good reasons why I need this help.. registration end this week.. there is nothing I will say concerning finance in this short time and as I said if other options were favourable.. would have gone for it.. this challenge was unexpected.. its real here, I believe God can use anyone to help.. please understand with me and am difficult situation.. God could use even strangers to help one.. if. u remember. I talked about this before but alot of financial restraint at home, am not supposed to make every thing public. I.e even pocket money from home most times is hard and I can wriggle my self on that one but school fees.. I need help from you all ,God blessing u. all

true that, bro Charles. If i hadn't know that sleep paralysis stuff happened because i had backslided in my relationship with God, i would have been high on fear. . I used to be a fear fear one sha until i took time to meditate on that verse, i realized not only is fear a spirit of darkness(since its not from the father of light), it is also an indication that ones faith is running on a low gauge. There are various words of God confirming our protection in him. But these words won't be effective if we don't have faith in them.
MizyB ,I sent the mail.. am hopeful..hope you got details

for more discretion and knowledge .. I raised the financial assistance outcry because there is rush of time and I received notice late from faculty late.. I don't know what option to use than to my blessed brothers and sisters to get a response of help from them as I respect all to be body of Christ ... i had to be decisive as quickly here because of circumstances and time,,.which the bitter but sincere truth is I can write my degree exams without school fees.. I had the confirmation but wasn't sure before.. thought I could pay later when I. have money.. I asked with all cries and pain that no matter the process to help me get the 41200# because this week is last day for contribution. I will appreciate (note mizy B has promised to support me ) if I get the whole school fees, would let you all know.. its school demands and this is my finals degree session and that is why i haven't been around frequently... please, help a brother in need.. surprised here beause i prayed before i went to do course registration but surprised they still said i can''t until i have paid my bills. I just recovered from shock that I will pay school before I can write final year exams, was thinking I could pay it later before .. thank you and God bless you all

funny you guys are talking about fear. Just this afternoon my guardian asked me to meet her at the bustop to carry food stuffs. On our way back; i was in front. @ a junction There was this wind like a mini tonardo carrying biscuits wrapper and all sorts of dirt. At first i was like abi i should run ni cos d wind was so much, immediately i told myself lets se what will happen. There was no fear rara I just stood staring at it. It continued for sometime then it started decreasing, i turned back at it, by the time i faced it again, it had disappeared. I realized it was just me, and a deaf!dumb beggar at the spot
hello sister, hope you saw my mail

@ bro ccollins, i really wish i could be of help but ur bro is currently living by faith. Try contacting ur fellowship for immediate assistance.
fellowships have lots of assignments and expenses to make and contributions is hard and they lack finance here atimes.... if I didn't need it critically now, I wouldn't have prayed or come here

1-25-16 Hello everybody. I am finally back to work in the office. It has been a very long and difficult recovery from the two major surgeries I had just one month apart. I thank you all for your prayers and support during this difficult time. I am starting to travel and minister again next month, February. In one of my last posts, I told you that I was going to write about the important subject of learning how to hear God speak to you personally. I am going to start that series today. LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 1 copyright 2011 One of the most important things every Christian must do is learn to hear God's voice. You are lost and without guidance if you cannot hear from the Lord. The whole Bible is the story of God speaking individually to human beings. God created us, and it is His desire to stay in communication with us. He speaks to His people in many different ways. We are now living under the New Covenant through Christ Jesus, and God says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah . . . For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them . . . In that He says "A New Covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:8-13 Those of us who are gentile Christians are a part of the "house of Israel," because we have been grafted in. (Romans 11:23-25) Therefore, this scripture applies to us as well. This scripture makes it clear that God intends to speak directly to each one of His people. He will put His laws into their hearts and minds. It is with your mind that you hear the Lord speak to you. The Apostle Paul wrote: "Nowthe Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith . . ." 1 Timothy 4:1 The Holy Spirit was speaking to Paul and the Christians of that day in very clear and concise terms. We can expect the same today God is "the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:cool God has not changed. As He spoke to His people in Biblical days, so He speaks to His people today. It is impossible to live the Christian life successfully without day-to-day guidance from the Lord. I was raised in a legalistic fundamentalist church that taught that the Holy Spirit essentially ceased to function after the cannon of the scripture was closed. We were never taught that God wants to speak to us directly. I didn't know such a thing was possible. I didn't pull out of that church until I was 26 years old. By then I was empty and unhappy, looking for something to fulfill my life. I thought it would be a career, and I entered my first year of medical school. By divine appointment, I started going to a campus ministry there on the college campus. For the first time in my life I was exposed to people who experienced the Lord personally and heard Him speak to them. They believed in and walked in the fullness of the functioning of the Holy Spirit. At first I was blown away! Then I became so hungry! I wanted what those folks had, and I was determined to find it. It was during that year that I entered into a covenant with the Lord to make Jesus the total master over every area of my life. My greatest desire was to experience God personally and to hear His voice. I wanted God to speak to me! That desire has become a lifelong quest for more than 38 years now. The greatest treasure I will ever have is my personal relationship with the Lord. I am writing these posts to help you in the same quest. It will be well worth your time and effort. To be continued. God bless you all. Rebecca.

Praise God for continues victory. Satan can't stand our boldness. It's recently I understood why the Bible is full of "fear nots" Satan is a coward seriously. He uses intimidation tactics to scare people. Look at the horror films, it all about intimidation and fear. If you stand, he flees.
Sometimes I just feel like climbing a very high place, stand up there and shout "don't be afraid of satan" to all the believers. But they still won't believe me. Their minds are too caged in fear, especially by the so called modern day prophets, who spend all their time in church painting pictures of how powerful Satan is, by virtue of what he does. They talk so much about Satan and so little about God. Magnifying Satan and casting fear into the minds of people who are too lazy to read the Bible for themselves.
I feel this prophets are working for Satan. because, they reversing the order Christ set. Christ says he has put Satan under our feet and given us victory, these prophets put people in bandage using fear.
thank God for all.. satan uses fear tactic people countless times and people also feel sin makes them weak and think this is a real exploitation because I feel God can tolerate anything no. matter how foolish it may be but Sin. Also, God is love and this no force both in heaven and on earth can ever imitate.. where there is removal of love, it is most easiest to commit sins there and attract demons there (1 corrinthians 13). am in school now

Job 1:21 (KJV)
the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord.


Beloved,
Let us learn to worship in adversity like Job. I just suffered a massive investment loss that left me devastated,and it occurred to me that I have been angry with God whenever I don't have my way. He is still YHWH in abundance or scarcity, in pain or in happiness.
