God speaks to people in different ways that are unique to each individual. God reveals himself through the Holy Spirit, his word in the Bible, prayer, and direct revelations to increase people's faith and bring them into a closer relationship with him so they can do his work and accomplish his purposes. When God speaks, the person hears his voice clearly and knows what he is saying, and it is an encounter with God.

Unit 7 – The Crisis Of Belief
When God calls someone to join in his work, it requires a crisis of belief, as their response needs faith that what God has promised will come to pass. Encounters with God demand faith over sight, and what he calls someone to do will be something only he can accomplish. When people see God do something miraculous through an individual, family or church, it draws them closer to knowing God. What someone does ultimately reveals what they believe about God, and taking action is necessary for true faith. Faithful servants will be rewarded for their faithful actions.

Unit 2 Looking To God
God wants us to focus on His purposes rather than our own plans, and to see things from His perspective rather than our limited human view. We should wait for God to reveal what He wants to accomplish through us, and then join Him in His work. It's more important to understand what God is doing in our situation than to tell God what we want to do for Him. When God reveals His activity, it is an invitation to partner with Him. God still speaks to His people today through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to guide us in His will. When God speaks, He intends for us to respond immediately, as His timing is perfect to develop us for His purposes.
Lesson 2 - Knowing God
This document discusses how God desires for people to know Him intimately through transforming their understanding and behavior. It emphasizes allowing God to change one's inward thinking and convictions through studying the Bible, prayer, and maintaining an open attitude. Specific guidance is provided on reading the Bible daily, memorizing verses, meditating on scripture, different aspects of prayer like adoration and intercession, and trusting that God always acts for one's best interest even if His plans aren't fully understood. The overall message is that intimate knowledge of God comes through actively pursuing a relationship with Him and allowing Him to gradually change one's perspective, values, and heart.
Renew week 5 seek the presence of god lg questions
This document discusses seeking the presence of God through stillness, prayer, and meditating on His word. It provides practical steps for these spiritual disciplines, including reading Scripture silently, listening for characteristics of God, thinking on how He has shown Himself, and praying in response. The group is encouraged to commit to these practices over the week and to support each other in doing so faithfully until their next meeting.
Spiritual Direction
The document provides biographical details about William Barry and William Connolly and their involvement in spiritual direction. It then discusses 10 key aspects of spiritual direction: 1) the importance of religious experience and contemplation, 2) fostering the relationship between God and individuals, 3) helping directees notice interior facts, 4) development and resistance in relationships, 5) evaluating religious experiences, 6) becoming a spiritual director, 7) the basis of the director-directee relationship, 8) criteria for spiritual direction, 9) disturbances in the relationship, and 10) the history of spiritual direction dating back to desert fathers and mothers. The overall document serves as an introduction to the practice of spiritual direction.
Week 4 spirit led evangelism
This document discusses spirit-led evangelism. It explores case studies from the Bible and strategies that Jesus used, emphasizing the importance of both strategy and prayer. Prayer is described as real ministry that keeps us humble, allows us to join God's work, and releases supernatural resources. The document then focuses on learning to hear the "whispers of God" when evangelizing. Whispers are described as a gentle voice prompting actions like reaching out to someone or showing them love. Practices like listening prayer, journaling, and responding in faith can help tune into God's voice. The document encourages applying these ideas through group activities and personal growth work.
Prayer.6.keller.4.conversing.02.15.15
This document summarizes a lesson about conversing with God through prayer. It discusses how prayer can be either instinctive monologues or spiritual dialogues where we get to know God. Spiritual prayer focuses on God rather than what we want from God. It also explores how God is a personal being made of three persons who love each other, and how they communicated through words. Christians can communicate with God through both conscious prayer using words and unconscious prayer through stillness and listening. The goal of prayer should be developing a relationship with God through respectful dialogue.

Spiritual prayer focuses on God rather than what we want from God. It also explores how God is a personal being made of three persons who love each other, and how they communicated through words. Christian prayer sees God as transcendent, so we look to God in prayer rather than looking within. Speaking words to God in prayer allows for depth, as He speaks to us through words. Both conscious prayer using words and times of quiet listening to God are important aspects of conversing with Him.
Prayer.6.keller.4.conversing.02.15.15 (admin pc's conflicted copy 2015-02-16)
This document discusses the author's experience with feeling fearful about a potential debate arising from lesson content he posted online. He prayed about the situation and received guidance from scripture references sent by a friend. This led the author to realize that feeling fear is natural but reacting out of fear without prayer can be sinful. God uses such experiences to teach lessons about overcoming fear through prayer and trusting in his strength rather than one's own. The passage also explores what it means to have a personal relationship with God through prayer, noting that prayer should be a dialogue rather than just making requests, and outlines biblical evidence that God is a loving personal being who desires relationship.
The seven checkpoints
This document discusses the importance of spiritual disciplines, including developing a consistent devotional life through practices like spending time alone with God daily in prayer and reading scripture. It emphasizes that spiritual transformation begins with renewing one's mind according to biblical truths. Regular spiritual disciplines are necessary to gain God's perspective and bring about real change in one's life, attitudes, and behaviors. The document provides guidance on establishing a daily quiet time routine with God through reading scripture reflectively, praying, journaling, and memorizing verses.
Prayer, Faith and Obedience
The document discusses the keys of prayer, faith, and obedience in hearing God's voice. It states that through regular prayer and developing a personal relationship with God, one can hear His voice in thoughts of encouragement. Having faith in God without proof is also important. Obedience to God by following His commands makes it easier to believe and trust Him. The document provides five ways to practice hearing God's voice: setting aside daily quiet time, being still, not demanding answers from God, expecting to hear from Him, and being aware of messages from angels.
Getting More From Your Personal Bible Study FINAL
The document provides guidance on how to get more from personal Bible study. It discusses that the Bible has a single author, God, and a unifying theme of God's plan to save humanity, though it was written by many authors over time. It acknowledges some misconceptions people have that prevent study, like thinking it is too hard to understand or boring. The document then gives strategies to overcome factors like historical, cultural, philosophical, and linguistic gaps between biblical times and now. These include thorough reading, using study aids, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide understanding. It emphasizes regularly studying with the intent to know God better in order to be refined, reoriented, renewed and restored. The document concludes by outlining different types
Life Purpose In A Nutshell
The document discusses life purpose from a biblical perspective. It defines life purpose as progressively realizing who God is and being willing to be used to the full extent of His unique will. It notes that discovering life purpose is a spiritual process that involves examining one's past, present, personality, passions, burdens and consecrating oneself to God's will through prayer. Barriers to discovering purpose include lack of commitment, relying on logic, unresolved sin, and busyness. The document provides guidance on crafting a life purpose statement through reflection and receiving revelation from God.
Armchair mystic ch2
The document outlines the four stages of prayer according to Aunt Sally: 1) Talking at God through rote prayers, 2) Talking to God using one's own words, 3) Listening to God by learning to recognize God's ways, and 4) Being with God where presence is most important and it is a gift from God rather than something one can achieve. The stages progress from more external and ritualistic prayers to an internal state of simply being with God.
How to recognize gods voice
This document provides guidance on discerning whether impressions are from God or other sources. It outlines 7 tests one can apply to impressions, beginning with whether the impression agrees with scripture and makes one more like Christ. Other tests include checking if the impression is confirmed by other believers, is consistent with how God works, concerns eternal rather than temporal matters, brings conviction rather than condemnation, and causes a sense of peace. Examples are given of impressions that would fail these tests, such as encouraging illegal or unethical acts. The overall message is that applying biblical criteria can help one discern if an impression truly comes from God or something else.
Establishing the Foundation
This document provides an overview of a session on experiencing listening prayer. It establishes that believing in Jesus' resurrection is foundational. Several Bible passages are presented that show the religious leaders missed God because they did not believe in Jesus, and because they cared more about what people thought than God. Love is discussed as the primary motivation for listening prayer. Believing in the resurrection relates to having the Holy Spirit guide us. Discussion questions address factors like doubt, intellectualism, and pride that can hinder listening to God. Prayer focuses on caring more what God thinks and developing faith in Jesus' resurrection.
Issue 5 - God Speaks
Loving relationships are built on loving two-way communication. True Christianity is just such a relationship--one that grows stronger and deeper through honest, open communication. Jesus is just waiting to speak to you.
Prophetic Fishing, Chpt 2
1. The document discusses the concept of "prophetic fishing", which refers to allowing the Holy Spirit to work through a person to change lives in any situation.
2. It emphasizes practicing and becoming aware of God's presence on a daily basis through repeatedly "breathing in" His freedom, love and security, and "breathing out" frustrations and fears.
3. When a person practices God's presence, they can take authority over situations and act in powerful ways as the Holy Spirit makes His power available, as Jesus promised His followers would do greater things than He did.
Unit 5 assignment prayer
Prayer is a form of communication with God that provides several benefits. It helps strengthen one's spiritual connection, brings peace and happiness, and reduces stress and depression. There are different types of prayers, including intercessory prayer for others, prayers of supplication which make requests, and prayers of thanksgiving to express gratitude. Maintaining a practice of daily prayer is important for spiritual growth and getting through life's challenges.
Identity and mind renewal
This document discusses identity and mind renewal. It argues that our true identity comes from knowing God, and is found through renewing our mind with his word. Our character is shaped by what we are made of inwardly. To change ourselves, we must work on our character by focusing on our ingredients or qualities. Our views of ourselves are wrong if they are inconsistent with what God says. We should strive to know God rather than seeking identity in temporary things. Mind renewal gives us a permanent identity and place in God. We must renew our mind daily by meditating on scripture to replace lies with the truth about who God says we are.
Hearing god's call
The document discusses helping young people hear and discern God's call in their lives. It provides two examples of individuals who felt God speaking to them - one through confirmation rather than a direct call, and another through repeated nudges and a vision. It then outlines potential activities for two youth groups, including a day trip focusing on dreaming and listening, and creative session ideas to encourage reflection. The overall message is on opening ourselves to how God may speak to young people in unique ways and providing opportunities for them to listen for God's guidance.
What Fossils? Darwin knew this was a problekm! It is!
Darwin said, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”
Darwin, C. (1872) Origin of Species, 6th ed. (1988), New York University Press, New York, p. 154.
180 years later, his theory has broken down according to his own criteria! There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL BETWEEN KINDS OF ANIMALS. DARWIN'S THEORY IS WRONG!
And his ideas have promoted racism and white supremacy more than any other single person worldwide for the past 150 years! Darwin needs to be Dethroned in our scientific and educational systems.
Darwin's Evil Legacy
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.

The Blessedness of Death: A Divine Oxymoron
In fact, it seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? An oxymoron: Our loving God sees the death of His beloved children as a blessing. I hope I can explain this scriptural truth well enough to convince you that God has good reasons to see our deaths as a good and precious thing.
You Have The Best Father in Heaven
I can tell you from personal experience and from the Bible that God is the most wonderful, tender-hearted, and kind Father anyone could imagine.
Experiencing the love of God as your Father is the birthright of every born-again Christian!
It will change your life as it has changed mine!

This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.

The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

God communicates to the author about mothers and their importance. God expresses having both a father's and mother's love for humanity. Mothers reflect God's character through their ability to love sacrificially, suffer for their children, and deeply identify with their children.

Obedience: God's Invitation to Greatness!
#3 in the Sermon Series: The Normal Christian Life: Biblical and Satisfying. Taken from Eph. 4 to 5:21
My Experience of God the Father's Love
So why do I feel that this message about being adopted by God is so foundational to the normal Christian life?
Because Jesus came to bring us back to the Father. Jesus came to show us the Father. If you’re a Christian and you don’t know the Father, you’re missing one of the main reasons that Jesus came to earth. His death on the cross was just the means to enable us to know the Father and be the adopted as his children.

We get "spiritual DNA" from our parents and ancestors that can be good and bad. Sin patterns, dysfunctional relationship patterns and coping mechanisms run in families. This is an intro to a huge and important topic that probably should be a series. This is a topic that can open up thinking and family discussions that could help heal and protect your family.
