KNOWING THE VOICE OF GOD

KNOWING THE VOICE OF GOD

Psalms 95:7    ⁷ For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

John is saying, the hour or time is coming when even the dead will hear his voice, and those who respond to it will live.

So, if the dead can hear and respond to his voice, surely, we the living can train ourselves to recognize the voice of the Lord.

Since we live in a natural world, we have the tendency to lean toward our five physical senses, which is leaning to our own understanding.

This is the natural worldly things that we focus on and the main reason Satan can manipulate us. This leaning on our own understanding is wrong.

It is time to move ahead and focus on the spiritual things and the spirits way of thinking. This way of thinking will put you over into Gods arena and there you will have Gods protection.

Whether you realize it or not you have two types of spirits speaking into your mind at the same time. One is an evil spirit and the other is the Holy Spirit.

Be very careful as to the voice you are hearing, you might want to say, I don’t hear any voices. You really do, it is your thoughts. Stop and think about this, most people call this their conscious.

Regarding what you hear with your natural ears, what you think you heard might not be what was actually said. There is a lot of difference between something truly stated and a statement of truth.

Someone may tell you something they really believe is true but it is not true, on the other hand someone may have a statement of truth to relay to you.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13   ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

¹³ Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Before you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you lived by the spirit of the world. After we receive the Holy Spirit we no longer speak the words of mans wisdom, but by the spirit of God through the Holy Spirit. We have the discernment of the true word.

You can’t fight a spiritual war thinking in the natural way. Smell and taste have similar reactions but on another level.

A lot of times the Lord is speaking to us and we miss it because we aren’t listening. Today if you will be still and listen you will hear his voice. It might not be audible but you will hear it in your spiritual ears.

Isaiah 30:21   ²¹ And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

The Lord hears our voice and is gracious toward us. As soon as he hears us, he will answer.

Most of the time when we pray, are we praying in line with Gods word. If we have and you don’t hear his voice or the Holy Spirit doesn’t reveal it, possibly we haven’t trained our spiritual ears to receive it.

We keep trying to hear and audible voice with our natural ears and when we do that Satan blocks our hearing from God. Why? Because you are over in his arena, which is the natural world.

You must understand that after you have made Jesus lord of your life, you are of God and have moved into the supernatural arena that God moves in.

We believers will never hear the voice of God using the natural worlds way of trying to receive a word from God.

At this point lets change the focus to the shepherd and the sheep.

John 10:1-5   10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

² But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

³ To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

⁴ And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

⁵ And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

What John is trying to get across is a Shepard will know his sheep and the sheep will know the voice of the Shepard. The sheep will only follow the voice of their Shepard. They will not follow the voice of a stranger.

John 10:16   ¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

The first sheep were the Jewish people, here he is referring to the gentile people who today are the church. Paul was used by God to plant the gentile church, so there can be only one flock made up of both Jew and gentile.

Lets re-evaluate the word Shepard. Sheep and heard.

A shepherd is a person who herds and takes care of a flock of sheep. Sometimes hundreds. He also fights off wolves and guards the sheep. Isn’t that just what Jesus is to us?

Psalms 23:1   23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

That is why he refers to us as a sheep. He is the perfect example of a shepherd taking care of his sheep.

We are supposed to know his voice, the same way the sheep know their masters voice. Sheep will not follow a stranger because they don’t recognize their voice, they will run away.

If you hear a voice that sounds strange to your mind, do like the sheep do, run, take authority over it. It is not the voice of the Lord.

When you get to the point of listening for and trusting your master, Jesus Christ, the shepherd, you will hear and recognize his voice.

It can take some time to learn until you know how to receive from God. Some believers who are saved, but they just don’t know how or have not has the pleasure of hearing Gods voice.

Revelation 3:20-21   ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

²¹ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

He is saying, I am standing at the door. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and will fellowship with him and he with me.

Jesus is trying to get you to open your spiritual heart so he can get through to you what he wants you to know.

1 Corinthians 2:14   ¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Through wisdom and knowledge, you will be granted to sit with me on my throne to hear the voice of God. It has to be received through our spiritual eyes and ears.

Our soul which is made up of our mind, will and emotion feeds on our spirit, which is the real you. It controls our spiritual walk by the Holy Spirit.

The eyes are the camera lens to the well of our soul. Our eyes and ears actually feed our soul.

So how do we start training ourselves to listen for Gods voice and not the voice of Satan and his demonic helpers?

To start let’s go over some basics. God is speaking to you most of the time and so is Satan.

God uses his Holy Spirit to speak to us. Satan uses his demonic spirits. That is why Paul preached so hard about putting on the whole armor of God.

1 John 4:1   4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Paul knew we would continually be in a spiritual battle until Jesus came back.

The voices, good and evil are going into our minds at all times, some conscious and some sub-conscious.

Sometimes we get an idea whether it be good or bad and we believe we came up with it, but we didn’t. Believe me when I say it either came from Satan or God. If it is good and lines up with the word of God, it came from God. If it is bad it came from Satan.

1 Corinthians 14:33   ³³ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

God does not like things to be mixed up. He likes harmony, not confusion. Here is how you know who is speaking to you. When God speaks to you it is in a quiet gentle voice through the Holy Spirit. If what the voice says doesn’t line up with the word of God it is not the voice of God.

The greatest honor the Father God has ever conferred upon us is to be in fellowship with him. A relationship without fellowship is like a marriage without love.

Romans 8:8-10   ⁸ So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰ And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

In the mind of God, you are as perfectly redeemed from the hand of Satan as Jesus was when he rose from the dead.

John 14:17   ¹⁷ Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

This is why some people want to hear the voice of God. It is impossible when there is a spiritual gap, it separates you and the Holy Spirit who makes hearing from God possible.

You cannot receive from the Holy Spirit if you don’t know Him. You will never know him until you make Jesus the Lord of your life.

If you think you hear something from God don’t act too suddenly. If you are not completely sure it was from God it probably wasn’t.

The way to know God is talking to is its always the truth and it always lines up with the word of God. The discernment of the Holy Spirit will let you know it is of God through your spirit not your natural mind.

Don’t ever try to figure out things for your spiritual life with a natural mindset. Guessing the meaning of the word comes from the natural realm.

It is important to remember that if you are not sure it is God speaking to you it probably isn’t. Ask God to make it clear to you that it is him by speaking to you, revealing it through the Holy Spirit.

THE WAY GOD SEES US

THE WAY GOD SEES US

We are to live on this planet; in this time and hour; by the law of life that governs the world by the Spirit. Not by the law of sin and death that governs the world of the natural.

1 John 5:1   5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

We are begotten of Him. Beget, begat, begot, begotten, means to bring into him.

When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you were reborn from death to life. Being born of God entitles you to citizenship in the Kingdom of God.

John 3:3   ³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Why? Because before you made Jesus Lord of your life, your spirit had not been changed.

Luke 12:32   ³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Colossians 1:13-14

¹³ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

¹⁴ In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

It is God pleasure to give us the Kingdom. You don’t own a part of the Kingdom; you own it all. In verses of scripture Jesus states the primary goal of the Christian life is by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

So, what exactly is the Kingdom of God? Some people think the Kingdom of God is in Heaven, but, the kingdom in its literal understanding is not heaven.

1corintians 4:20   ²⁰ For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Heaven is the place where God lives, but the kingdom of God involves more than that. The kingdom of God is basically God himself because he can’t be separated from His kingdom.

God is the kingdom. Without Him the kingdom would not even exist.

The kingdom of God includes more than heaven. Just as the kingdom of earth is more than just this planet.

The kingdom of earth includes the atmosphere around it, and the laws that govern it. The kingdom of God is the world of the spirit, and governed by God and the laws of God.

As believers, we operate by spiritual laws. The same laws that govern Gods kingdom.

We operate by spiritual laws, led by the Holy Spirit created by God, even before we were created.

Romans 8:1-2   8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

When we make Jesus the Lord of our life, we become justified, sanctified and glorified, then sealed by the Holy Spirit.

Without Jesus, we would have no hope at all. He declared us not guilty and has offered us freedom from sin, and the power to do His will.

 Galatians 5:4-6    ⁴ Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

⁶ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

This life-giving spirit is the Holy Spirit. He was present at the creation of the world, and he is the power behind the rebirth of every Christian.

He gives the power we need to live the Christian life.

Mathew 28:18   ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Knowing we are citizens in the kingdom is great, but without a revelation of righteousness we will never know the reality of our kingdom rights.

Righteousness is right standing with God. It is a free gift that is received by faith, not by feelings. Righteousness has been made manifest by faith in Christ Jesus, it has already come.

Matthew 5:20   ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

You must exceed beyond the Law; you must be led by the Holy Spirit by grace through faith.

Romans 3:21-24   ²¹ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²² Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

God has a way to make people right with Him without the law. He has now shown us the way which the law and the prophets told us about.

God makes people right with himself through their faith in Christ Jesus. This is true for all who believe in Jesus, we are all the same.

We have all sinned and without Jesus we are not good enough for Gods glory. We are made right with God by his grace through Christ Jesus.

Let’s look at this through Gods eyes. God sees the believer through his word; he sees us in Christ Jesus. God doesn’t look at us the way we look at ourselves.

We need to see ourselves the way God sees us. Then we will be able to see our actions as of no condemnation. What God sees is what we really are; made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

We may not feel like it, or look like it sometimes, but it is true, we are His creation, the body of Christ, the church in the earth today, one spirit with Christ Jesus, bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh, and filled with his mighty Holy Spirit and power.

Matthew 6:33-34   ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

2 Corinthians 3:5   ⁵ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

The adequate ability or confidence in resources. Don’t worry. That is not trusting God. It is evil.

It is Gods will for us to own the kingdom. Remember what Jesus said, it’s your fathers’ good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It is Gods will for us to live above the present evil world.

Colossians 1:13-15 + verse 19     ¹³ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

¹⁴ In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

At the cross the Lord broke the power of sin, and took away its guilt.

Verse 19   ¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Giving thanks unto God, has made us able to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness?

The Colossians feared the unseen forces of darkness, but Paul is saying, the true believers have been transferred from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom, from guilt to forgiveness, from the power of Satan to the Power of God.

We have been rescued from a rebel kingdom to serve the rightful King. Our conduct should reflect our new allegiance.

Galatians 4:4-5    ⁴ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

⁵ To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Jesus was born of a woman, He was human, He was born as a Jew, and was subject to Gods Law and he fulfilled it perfectly. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice because, although he was fully Human, He never sinned.

His death brought freedom for us who were enslave to sin so that we could be adopted into Gods family.

Not only did he die on the cross, but at the same time, he bridged the gap back to the Father so we could have a relationship with Him.

Galatians 4:5-7    ⁵ To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

⁶ And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

⁷ Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Under Roman law an adopted child was guaranteed all legal rights to his father’s property, even if he was formerly a slave. He was not a second-class son; he was equal to all other sons.

Biological or adopted in his father’s family as adopted children of God, we share with Jesus all rights to God’s resources. As Gods heirs, we can claim what He has provided for us as full identity as his children.

John 16:13-15   ¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Jesus said when the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever He shall hear. That shall He speak, and he will show you things to come, he shall glorify me, for He shall receive of Mine, and show it unto you.

All things that he the Father hath are mine, therefore said I, that He shall take of mine and show it unto you. This is an open invitation for the spirit of God to show us the very insides of God Himself. The very heart of God.

Jesus is saying; everything that the Father has, has been given to me. That the Holy Spirit will take what I have and show it to you; spiritual wisdom and understanding also discernment.

It is a magnificent blessing to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God and have such a close relationship with the father, he is the God of the universe and we are his very own children. He wants to bless and prosper us as His family so that we can go forth in His power, not only to rule over the evil in the world but to feed the world.

Matthew 6:33   ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Learn to hear the voice of God and be led by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. The voice you hear must line up with the word. If it doesn’t, it is not God.

God has a plan for our life. It is a plan for our future, it is a very good plan. It’s the only plan there is. There is not plan b, never was, never will be.

The Power of Binding and Loosening By the Grace of God

The Power of Binding and Loosening

 By the Grace of God   

I have taught about binding and loosening several times. However, I have not taught on just how important binding and loosening is to your walk with the Lord.

Matthew 16:19    And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Jesus said to Peter, I am giving you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven… whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.

By these words Jesus conferred on Peter what was the most tremendous authority. Authority that is to be exercised on earth, but effective in Heaven.

The reason Jesus conferred this authority on peter is because Jesus knew it would be needed.

This encourages me to believe that if someone like Peter needed this knowledge, certainly the rest of us will need it too. Especially in this twisted world that we live in today.

Guess what? Jesus conferred the same power on us. Confer means to give or bestow…

Matthew 18:18-20    Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

He repeats the same promise and extends it to all believers who meet the conditions by agreement and believing.

He is saying, I can guarantee this truth, whatever you imprison bind or allow, whatever you set free, or loose, God will set free or loose.

I can guarantee again that if two of you agree on anything here on earth my father will accept it. Where two of three have come together in my name, I am there among them. The spirit of truth…

The word agree in Greek is subpoena which gives us the English word symphony. It doesn’t mean a mere intellectual agreement; it means musical harmony.

If two of you can harmonize, agree together in one accord, in touching anything that you ask, it will be done. This is a harmony in the spirit, not just a mental decision about an item on a prayer list.

Then Jesus goes on to say, where two or three are gathered together in my name. When two or more are gathered in Jesus’ name it always magnifies the divine power of God according to the things given to us that pertain to life and godliness.

I use the Word led together instead of gathered together because this action of coming together demands a leader, and the leader is the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:14   ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Jesus is speaking about believers brought together by the Holy Spirit around the focus of the person of Jesus Christ, represented by his name.

He is saying when you’re led together by my spirit in my name and you can harmonize, count on my presence.

There is where the authority is, the exercising of the authority depends upon the leading of the Holy Spirit and being so related to our fellow believers that we can harmonize with them or agree.

When you pray, be sure you are praying your prayer with biblical knowledge as to what you want to be manifested.

You can only bind on earth what has already been bound in heaven, but it still places the responsibility upon us. Why? Because until we pray the binding is not effective. It requires earth action to make Heavens decree effective.

We are given the responsibility for what goes on in Heaven. It is absolutely staggering that we so easily adopt the attitude that we are waiting for God to act.

The truth is, God is waiting for us to act. In fact, He has been waiting a very long time.

We say Lord show me what you want done and I will go along with it… but the Lord is saying, on the contrary you tell me what you intend to do and I will go along with that.

You can see that it is… what so ever you bind on earth that word ye is We… he is talking about us. He is saying you make the decision and I will go along with it. This authority is only given to those who are in right fellowship with God.

God has built a fence around his delegated authority, as long as you are not right in your personal relationship with God, there is no way in. For this to work we must have a good relationship with God.

Ephesian 2:8     For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

We must be full of Gods grace because his grace is sufficient for our lives. God’s grace has already provided salvation that was manifested through faith.

The gospel of grace makes everything available to those whosoever will believe. Healing, prosperity, deliverance, salvation and Born again, only manifested through faith that grace provided.

Something awesome happened the day we were born again. The day we were born again, Jesus took away the old man, and gave us a new creation.

This new creation He gave us is fully equipped with everything that was finished at the cross. When God created us, he invested everything you would ever need, for life and godliness.

Eph 1:3   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Every spiritual blessing is already inside you, most of the things you pray for you already have. At this time when you made Jesus Lord of your life, your life was transformed from natural to divine or supernatural.

Supernatural wisdom and knowledge were invested in you by discerning of the word by the Holy Spirit. Everything God has being a child of God through Christ Jesus belongs to you.

Grace through the cross made this available. Now we have the keys of heaven to unlock all these privileges.

Withdrawing is something that most Christians have a problem with, even though everything has been made available through grace and the cross. We tend to withdraw or not accept the power and authority we have been given.

Your healing is already in you, prosperity, deliverance, salvation is already in you. This is part of the finish work of Jesus Christ, and through this great grace, this awesome love and his unmerited favor, he released through His grace, this power and his authority for your salvation through his shed blood.

We need to get our faith to grab ahold of what God has already done. Instead of using our faith to try to get God to do something He has already done.

It’s just a matter of bringing into manifestation what has already been done.

2^nd Peter 1:3-4   According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:


Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and Godliness.

Through the knowledge of Him, that called us to glory

And are given to us exceeding, great and precious promises.

You need to change your thinking, if you’re going to change your life.


3^rd John 2   Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

As your soul prospers… above all things

Your soul is your thinking part, or your mind, that’s where the battle is. Right believing produces right living: Christianity is right believing when you believe right you will do right.

Right believing comes by faith in Christ Jesus, and the word of God… Faith is a gift of God, what grace provided can only be manifested through faith.

There is a door that divides the spiritual unseen world, from this seen physical world, the place of manifestation.

We are trying to get what is in the unseen world to manifest itself, or show up in this seen world, the natural physical world

Nothing shows up in this seen world without going through this door of faith.

It is through faith we get saved, through faith that salvation has already been made available through grace…

Everything that is going to manifest its self in this physical world has to go through the door of faith.

You have to work in agreement with what you say you believe

What you say and what you do must be in agreement with what grace has already provided for you.

Under pressure you will speak what you believe. When you get to the point that you’re not moved by what you see and don’t consider things by what you see then you know that you believe it.


2^nd Corinthians 4:18    While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

When you consider the problem more than you consider the promise, you know you don’t believe it.

When you believe with your heart, you believe against your physical senses.

What you believe in, you will support and you will give to, the church.

God did not create you and put you here to worry how am I going to pay my rent, light bill, and how am I going to buy food.

We don’t have time to worry about the things that has already been done.

We need to lay hands on the sick, cast out devils and get ready for the revival that is coming to the Church.


Philemon 6   That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus

Christ in you, the hope of glory, he will meet your demands according to the deposit he has put in you. By the manifestation of His promise.

Question:   How do I withdraw what is already been done?

The gospel of grace makes everything available to those whosoever will believe.

Grace is the power of God that creates blessings. Stop trying to earn what has already been provided.

Living in lack is not the will of God. You are walking around with an account that is a full deposit, everything you will ever need in life.

We have depended on the worlds way so long to take care of things in our lives Until we haven’t taken any time to understand how to tap into Gods way.

What happens when the worlds way doesn’t work anymore? We must learn how to manifest and to withdraw, what has been deposited inside of us.

Grace supplies the need; our need is manifested through faith. It is when we believe it is already been done that causes the door of blessings to manifest

The spiritual unseen world, to the physical seen world, this place of manifestation

When the devil tells you that you don’t have what is promised, remind him of Isaiah 53:5


If you go to Lowes to purchase a new refrigerator, the store will not sell you the display it has on the floor. You have to decide which one you want to buy.

They will then give you a receipt that says paid in full. You take this to the warehouse and the receipt will put a demand on the purchased refrigerator.

Once something is paid in full it belongs to you for the taking. Even though it has been paid for, if you don’t take it you won’t get it.

This is the way it is with Jesus and grace; we must walk through that door of faith and demand what we know has been paid in full.

until our next lesson
stay in the word

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS

We have the tendency to believe that we are humans having a spiritual experience, but the truth is we are spirits having a human experience.

The bible is Gods will for your personal life. It is a spiritual book wrote to spiritual people.

We keep thinking we are natural humans in a natural world. The problem is we are not of this world.

John 17:14   ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Because of spiritual blindness we are not getting our healing or our prayers answered.

Jeremiah 5:21   ²¹ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not

Even though we have eyes and see and ears to hear, if you don’t have understanding of the truth of Gods word which come from the Holy Spirit then Gods truth is of no effect. This is called spiritual blindness.

Isaiah 42:20   ²⁰ Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

We see but don’t really see because our ears are closed to Gods truth, we can hear but are not able to hear the true word of God.

The reason for this is we are trying to understand something that is supernatural and spiritual with our natural eyes and ears.

Ezekiel 12:1-2   12 The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying,

² Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

If you are living in the middle of a rebellious heart, you have eyes to see and do not see, ears to hear and do not hear. Rebellion will cause spiritual blindness to the truth.

When we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior we are recreated and not of this world. We become in that second that we receive Jesus as savior recreated and we are no longer of this world. We have become transformed from the natural to the supernatural. To be transformed means we have supernaturally been changed by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

The Holy Spirit was sent from God to be our spiritual teacher. We are transformed with His teaching by the renewing of our minds to the perfect will of God.

By believing and trusting God at is word, the Holy Spirit will guide us into righteousness with discernment and understanding to do what is right before God.

He will open your eyes and ears to the truth and the truth will set you free. It will break the chains of spiritual blindness.

Hosea 4:6   ⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

This is most likely why we are not getting our prayers manifested, the lack of knowledge. Knowledge and wisdom and discernment are always the work of the Holy Spirit.

Lack of knowledge and spiritual understanding will cause spiritual blindness, and stop the healing process in one’s life.

Healing mentioned in the word doesn’t just mean one’s body, it also means your soul which is made up of your mind, your will, your emotion and your spirit.

Romans 8:6-7   ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

The carnal mind cannot please God because it is always chasing the flesh and is not working in the Spirit.

Psalms 103:3   ³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

God forgave us on the cross. It is our job to repent and accept that he forgives all of our iniquities and heals all our diseases.

Psalms 107:20   ²⁰ He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

He sent His Word, (Jesus) and healed them all and kept them from their destructions.

Why are we not receiving our healing of the body soul and spirit?

It is because we keep doing the same thing the Jewish people did, they failed at trying to do good to get good. That is under the law. We live under grace.

We Christians are not Gods chosen people living under the law. We are Gods called people living under grace.

Genesis 15:6   ⁶ And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Abraham believed and was considered as righteousness and was blessed. God made a non-Jewish people righteous by faith in God.

If and when we believe, we will be blessed. Spiritually, mentally, and physically. Jesus was God in heaven and also on earth.

God made promises to Abraham and his seed. God said to your descendant (singular) and that one person is Christ Jesus.

These blessings only come through faith, through the Cross that Jesus died on by which we can have the spirit that God promised. We receive this promise by faith.

Christ did this so that Gods blessings that he promised to Abraham could come to the non-Jewish people.

John 15:4-5   ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

We are not the root of the tree we have been grafted into the tree by receiving what the Jews were offered.

The law came 430 years after the promise to Abraham. What was the law for?

It was to show the people the wrong they were doing. It continued until the “Special” descendant of Abraham came, Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:19   ¹⁹ Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

The law was given by angels who used Moses for a mediator to give the law to men. God himself gave the ten commandments to Moses.

The Law was the master teacher. Jesus was a Jew, lived as a Jew and lived by and fulfilled the law.

After the cross we were made righteous with God through faith by accepting His son Jesus and Jesus’ death bridged the gap between God and man.

THE GARDEN

Now grace has come and we are no longer under the Law. We are now living under the new covenant of grace.

Galatians 3:26-29   ²⁶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹ And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The law was natural. God’s grace is supernatural. We keep thinking we have to do good to be good, that way of thinking is under the law, not under grace.

2 Corinthians 12:9   ⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Gods grace is sufficient, it is always enough. In your weakness His power is made perfect in you.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2   28 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

² And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

Under the law if you did good you were blessed

Deuteronomy 28:58-61   ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;

⁵⁹ Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

⁶⁰ Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

This was all under the Law. After the cross, by accepting His son we are under grace. If we try to live according to the law then we will reap the law. Let us not be spiritually blind to the truth. We are saved by grace and live under grace, not the Law.

Stay in the word.
