Jeremiah 17:7  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 

Hope is an essential ingredient to possessing joy, peace, and faith. Every Believer needs to fully understand what Biblical hope is and how to protect it. Before we begin to look at what hope is, how to renew it, and how to keep it, let’s look at what it isn’t. 

Two Kinds Of HOPE:

1. Worldly Hope Is “Wishful Thinking”!  People throw around the word hope about as often as they do the word love. In the world today, we hear hope referred to as situations or circumstances that may or may not come to pass. It’s as though many see it as pure chance. They say things such as, “I hope you have a great day,” or “I hope you enjoy your trip.” It suggests wishful thinking rather than something certain.

2. Biblical Hope is an “Assurance”. The Word of God tells us something almost opposite of the world’s view. It tells us that hope is promised, sure, and always present. God tells us it’s an assurance.

Hebrews 11:1  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence (or assurance) of things not seen.” 

“Assurance” is a positive declaration intended to give confidence. It’s a promise of what will come. Your faith is the manifestation of the hope you have and what will take place in your future. Think about that… the promises of God: abundant life, joy, peace, and hope are PROMISES THAT WILL TAKE PLACE. God’s statements are not, “Good luck, My child, I hope you find peace and joy.”

Listen Beloved saints of God, the Lord telling you it’s a guarantee and how amazing is this! He tells you to have confidence. As you keep faith alive, what you are hoping for has to happen. You don’t have to try in your strength to make things happen for yourself. When you maintain the faith, which comes by love, hope is manifested in your life by the power of God.

Beloved saints of God, remember this is not an earthly hope. It’s not a hope for nice things and lavish living. it’s a certainty of God’s decree over your life, your identity in Christ, and a fulfillment of His will as promise in Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 

Yes, you might ask “When Does Hope Come?” Hope comes when you don’t quit. The problem with quitting is that it steals your hope. Quitting and giving up your hope only hands it over to the enemy. Endure with patience so that the manifestation of hope becomes a testimony of faith.

Unfortunately, so many Believers hand over their hope before it has had time to be made strong in the Lord. The Lord wants to do a good work in you, so that you become a testimony of His love. He also knows other storms lie ahead; therefore, after you have passed over one mountain and your hope has grown, you will be able to recall His faithfulness to withstand the next.

Beloved saints of God, your testimony of enduring faith not only encourages those around you but also strengthens you. God wants to build a spiritual repertoire in you so that you can easily arm yourself with His armor and be well prepared for your destiny.

Here’s encouraging Scripture To Meditate: 

James 1:2-3  “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” (

Romans 12:12  “…rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer…” 

James 1:25  “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” 

You may ask “How Do I Keep Hope Alive?” You keep hope alive by nurturing and protecting it. Hope is like a small seed that grows by the living water and the light of the Word. As it begins to grow inside, it begins to break through, just as a plant breaks through the crust of the earth. This is the time it is most vulnerable. It is delicate and requires attention and protection until it can stand firm in the elements. Be patient as it matures and grows strong.

Matthew 17:20  “So Jesus said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.'” 

Beloved saints of God, make a commitment to take the seed of hope within your heart and raise it up in the protection of God’s Word. Water it daily with devotion. Wrap it in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to place ministering angels around you to guard and protect it. Ask the Lord for the impartation of wisdom and daily revelation of how to maintain the hope you’ve been given.

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Hope In The Resurrection” occurs when you are born-again and the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you have been given hope of the resurrection. The Holy Spirit gives you the assurance and testifies on your behalf of the righteousness you have been given through covenant restoration.

Acts 24:14-15 NIV  “…I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.” 

Beloved saints of God, let this truth soak in to your inner-man. You who are saved have been given hope! You must declare it with your mouth, believe it in your heart, and release it! God’s Word does not come back void!

Psalm 33:22 NIV  “May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.” 

Zechariah 9:12 NIV “Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you”. 
Prayer: 

“Abba Father God, in the name of Jesus, I release the joy of my salvation. I decree and declare Your Word is true and every promise that You have spoken over me will prosper in what it was sent to do. I release the hope that You have given to me for a time such as this, to bear fruit that will last. I release the hope that I am an heir to the throne. I decree that every word You have spoken is final, and that every storm I face can be conquered by Your Word. I live victoriously when I trust in You!”

Currently after the Passover Feast, there are numerous signs indicating the rise of spiritual warfare arise to great heights that the enemy is waging an all out war against true believers.

What is prayer? It’s much more than telling God what we need. Most if not all religions involve some type of prayer

Prayer is a part of every major religion, but there are several distinct differences that make Christianity unique. As Christians have been given the privilege to know their God personally. o Christians have been given a personal invitation to have the very

Spirit of God live inside them through a belief in Jesus. Through His Spirit God reveals His very nature to us. That’s what it means to have a personal relationship with God—you don’t just know about Him—you know Him. No other religion on earth offers a personal relationship with God.The effectiveness of your prayer will rise in direct proportion to the depth of your relationship with God. The more effort you put into knowing God’s ways through His Word and His Holy Spirit, the more attune you will be during prayer. The more attune you are in prayer—knowing the will of the Father—the more you will see your prayers answered.

Prayer is not telling God what we want to happen—it’s knowing what God desires to happen and aligning our will with that. The recognition ofWho we are praying to.  Prayer is unlike any other conversation we will have during our day. You are praying to the Creator of all Heaven and earth. You are praying to the Uncreated, Who knows the exact location of everything at every moment. You are praying to Him who knows every thought every person has ever had—or ever will have—and the motivation behind those thoughts. This same God, despite the mind-boggling scope of his power and majesty, is the same Person who loves you.

Faith—that invisible force that makes all prayer work. Faith is what makes prayer work. Faith is the understanding of how the system of Heaven works. The system of Heaven works through faith. The centurion’s faith (Luke 7 & Matthew 8). »  Jesus marveled at the centurion’s faith—which was displayed by his understanding of how faith worked. Jesus had spent his entire life around Rabbis and teachers of the law, but this is the only time we see Jesus marvel at the revelation of another human being. Jesus referred to John the Baptist as the greatest prophet, and once gave Peter a pat on the back when the Holy Spirit revealed to him that He was the Christ. But this is the only time Jesus marveled. Why? Because it involved the relationship between two of Jesus’ most talked about subjects—faith and the Kingdom. The centurion understood that it wasn’t necessary to see something take place to believe that it would. The centurion understood how authority and obedience worked—that the one with authority commands, and the one under that authority obeys.

When you pray, you should assess whether you truly have faith for what you’re about to pray about. There is this substance called unbelief. When we don’t have faith that God will answer our prayer, it’s often because of this strange substance. Ask God to remove it. Our will and God’s will When we begin prayer, our will and God’s will aren’t necessarily the same thing. It’s like we’re trying our best to play a song, but our instrument is out of tune. 

What gets us out of tune? Our soul, our mind, our will and our emotions. To reach the next level of prayer, we have to quarantine our soul.  Entering prayer out of a sense of obligation can cause you to pray out of the emotions of the moment. God’s ways are so much higher than our ways. God’s will is based upon His wisdom, which is derived from Him seeing the end from the beginning. Prayer is not telling God what needs to happen. It’s groping for God’s plan for the person or the situation and then agreeing with that plan.

Forgiveness needed before praying to God! When you pray, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sin in your life for which you haven’t asked God’s forgiveness. Then ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness is a big issue to God, so big He sent His Son to die for your sins. o Effective prayer acknowledges when you’ve fallen short and includes you repenting, or turning from that sin. It’s important to forgive others as well.

If you expect God to forgive you, then you can’t withhold your forgiveness from others. Withholding forgiveness can hinder God from answering your prayers. So can lingering arguments with your spouse. In 1 Peter 3:7 we’re told that husbands must make peace with their wives so “their prayers won’t be hindered.” Repentance and being clean before God is not a salvation issue. But it is a vital part of your relationship with God.  Repentance increases the effectiveness of your prayers.  Being clean before God increases your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, which then spiritually aligns your will to God’s will. 

Thankfulness is needed in your heart and spirit. Telling God how thankful you are for everything He’s done in your life charges the atmosphere of prayer with a spiritual energy.  Luke 17, Jesus healed 10 lepers, but only one returned to Him.  When he returned, he worshiped God and fell to the ground thanking Jesus. All 10 were healed, meaning the leprosy disappeared. But only the one who thanked Jesus was made whole. Jesus told him to rise and go, that his faith had made Him whole. That meant that the digits that had been eaten away from leprosy, returned. Fingers that were missing, grew back.

The highest form of prayer is asking God to fulfill His desires, rather than yours. God’s plan for prayer has never been for believers to achieve their goals— it’s always been about God achieving His goals through believers. That’s not to say we don’t ask God to supply for our needs. But that’s only part of the picture of prayer. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and pray for protection. Pray through the Holy Spirit’s prompting. All prayer in one way or another is spiritual warfare. 

When you begin stepping up the power of your prayer, the enemy will take notice. Pray in advance for protection and also ask God to reveal any traps of the enemy along the way. God has never made a defensive move. The mystery of prayer is joining together with God’s plan to destroy the work of the enemy.And every prayer you’ve ever prayed has a measure of that in it. Sometimes we pray amiss. If you follow the steps I’ve outlined above, your prayer life will improve and your prayers will be more effective.

The Lord’s Prayer. Prayer starts by acknowledging to Whom you are praying. You’re speaking to the Creator of Heaven and Earth,Who already knows your needs before you even ask. “Our Father who are in Heaven, hallowed be your name.” Next, the substance that makes prayer work is faith. Faith is the understanding of how the system of Heaven works. 

Faith is the understanding that God’s ways and His will are far superior to yours. Faith doesn’t require that you always understand God’s ways, it just means you trust His ways. “Your Kingdom come,Your will be done. On earth as it is in Heaven.”  The next step is repentance and forgiveness. Being clean before God clears the spiritual frequencies. It allows you to hear from the Holy Spirit and it prepares you for the next step, which is to ask your prayers. Ask God for everything you need today—healing, provision, and whatever else you need to conquer evil and advance the Kingdom. “Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”

Finally, ask God for his divine wisdom and protection. We never focus on what the enemy is doing in our life, but that doesn’t mean we don’t prepare.The moment you pray, the spiritual atmosphere changes around you. The enemy isn’t sure what’s going to happen next, but whatever it is, he’s not going to like it. So, an effectual prayer should also ask for God’s wisdom and His hand of protection over your life. “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

SUMMARY ON PRAYER

Prayer is a mystery. It’s like a treasure we walk past every day without fully realizing its value. If we truly believed prayer was a treasure, we would treat it as such. We would share its beauty with the ones we loved. We would keep it in a protected place so that no one could take it from us. We must truly understood its worth and value.

Praying isn’t a duty—it’s a privilege. It’s humanity’s greatest privilege and what distinguishes us from all other creation. Nothing else God created has been given the ability to interact with the Creator like us—not even the angels. So, if there is a mystery of prayer that we may never know the answer to—it’s this— why? Why does God love us that much? Why would He listen to our simple, immature cry out for help? Not just listen, but patiently wait and listen to them?  

In prayer, we stand at the edge of eternity and stare into its great and vast mystery and yearn to peek behind the veil. In prayer we leave, if only for a matter of moments, this temporary, mortal existence and enter the place where our Creator awaits. Prayer is our meeting place. It’s the dinner table prepared for us in the presence of our enemies. It’s the green meadow. It’s the still waters. It’s all of these. But you have to answer the faint knocking at the door. 

“Some harvest is not for consumption but for planting.” God provides seed to the sower and bread to the ester” Yes, saints you can declare “I’m a sower and an eater! We’ll keep it sowing, and The Lord will keep it growing and reaping!”

Remember some of your harvest Is not for consumption! This is a profound truth! it’s seed for planting and reaping! God gives seed to the sower. According to 2 Corinthians 9:10  “Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.”

God gives seed to those who will sow it; that’s His principle. This is reiterated in Isaiah 55:10: “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from Heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater…”  A whole different perspective in this verse in Isaiah 55:10 where God causes it to rain on the seed, and that seed grows and feeds the eaters. That same seed continues to give more seed to the sower.

Zechariah 14:17, the Word of God says that on those who do NOT worship, on them there will be no rain. If there is no rain, there will be no harvest and no seed to the sower. Worship produces rain and rain produces harvest and more seed.

Saints, the Bible promise: as a sower, you will also be a reaper! If you don’t sow, you won’t reap. That too is a promise. God has promised that He will give seed to the sower. 

Key to know how to sow your seeds in His Word. 

1. Main Key: Ask God for seed, then worship, praise and thank Him for that seed! He longs to give you seed to sow. He wants His Kingdom established on this earth in prosperity. He wants YOU to prosper. He wants His Church to prosper. It is our promise. We must realize that it begins with our seed. It begins with our faithfulness to God in our giving. Some harvest is for eating and some is seed for planting. This is such awesome insight, so good and so true!

2. Ask yourself do you desire to harvest in every season of your life? We must recognize this truth: some harvest is for eating and some is for planting. You must determined to plant what needs to be planted. If you don’t, then don’t expect no harvest in the next season.

3. Do you want a continual harvest? You must plant in every season. You cannot plant in one season and skip three seasons. You can’t expect a harvest when you are not sowing seed or planting in every seasons!

Saints, purpose in your heart today to continue to harvest and to continue to plant. As you do, may your harvest be without end!

Wake up call for all believers! “Do not Compromise on the Word of God.” Trust Him. He is shifting relationships, shifting directions, shifting momentum, shifting SO much right now and you “MUST listen to His voice”, not to what’s been done before, not what is “popular” and not what man is screaming at you!  A major transition point or shift manifested where the body of Christ have entered and moved!  It’s the season to consecrate your heart and soul unto God. “CONSECRATION “is the Rhema word flowing out of the Lord’s heart. Do not allow fear to bring compromise into your life but “Radical obedience” is much required NOW! It’s time to follow the Word of the Lord unexpectedly. 

Saints, submit and do what He’s asking, leading many unexpectedly to make room in their life to receive the fire He is releasing and the heavenly downloads that are coming. Keys that will unlock major breakthrough in this new era belongs to those willingly consecrate themselves to the breakthrough!  By living a yielded lifestyle with their ears listening to God’s heartbeats, His Word and not the drumbeat of man.

The Lord is shifting His people from the watering holes of man-made ways and expectations.” Rather than drinking from “waterholes of man” and “ways of man!” Leading His people deeper into the place of drinking from the “waterholes of His Spirit” and “HIS WAYS!” This requires their eyes to see and ears to hear to receive the revelation He is releasing for this new era. For MAJOR confirmations of His unexpected directions and call to consecration will be confirmed in their spirit. So yield to the places that He is calling you to be “set apart” from and follow His leading even if it doesn’t make sense! It’s a preparation in the positioning for His fire to fall. His fire is falling upon living sacrifices and coming to consume you like never before!

“When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.” (2 Chronicles 7:1) “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” (Leviticus 6:13)

But forget all that, it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

“Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.” John 8:12

The Holy Spirit is doing a major changes or overhaul in our lives is by Amplifying the Light in our lives. He doesn’t want us to be a smoldering flax or a dimly burning wick, but to burn with a zeal and a fervor for Jesus that ignites those we connect with as well.

“A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth.” Isaiah 42:3

Saints, do you feel like the bruised reed or a dimly burning wick? No matter how hard you try, you seem to always get knocked down in the process!  Our Lord Jesus has a different plan for your life! He is working through the Holy Spirit, to ignite your Lamp ablaze upon the inside of your life, but not just igniting the Lamp, He’s also trimming the wicks on your lamp to increase the output of His Light from your Lamp!

“The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.” Proverbs 20:27

The Holy Spirit wants to ignite the fire an increase in Light that’s going to come forth from your Lamps. The season of trimming and pruning the wick has been arduous and painful at times, but what has been charred or damaged by the flames in the past has been removed! The Oil is being replenished. Many of you felt like you  were dimly burning or on the verge of burning out are going to once again burn Brightly in the Presence of God!!!

You have not been forgotten or cast aside, but have been receiving trimming, impartation and Refreshing from the Lord so that you can once more Shine like a beacon in the Night Sky!!! You are to shine like Bright Lights in a dark world. We are to be a beacon of Hope for those who are walking about in darkness looking for a way out. 

“That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish, faultless, unrebukable in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation, among whom you are seen as BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE [DARK] WORLD,” Philippians 2:15

Remember as your Light Increases so will your influence! The closer you get closer to Jesus the greater the Lamps Brightness goes up another notch. Just as He was and is the Light of the World, so have we become the same!

If you feel as though you barely burning or even smoldering do not despair. Be assured that the Holy Spirit is trimming you wick even now. He doesn’t slack in His Duty or His Ability in us, but He’s going to cause you to once again BURN BRIGHT LIKE THE SON and bring Light to the World around you! He hasn’t forgotten you or forsaken you, but He’s working all things together for your good even if it doesn’t seem like it.

“We are assured and know that ALL THINGS   WORK TOGETHER  and are FOR GOOD TO AND FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO [HIS] DESIGN AND PURPOSE.” Romans 8:28

Beloved mothers arise and rejoice on your Mother’s Day celebration! Our Lord saying to you this day: “I am restoring families and the key role of the family. One of the greatest ploys of the enemy has been the degradation of family, and with this has come a departure from the fullness I intended for My people. With this has come a departure from My ways. Many are walking with deep hurt and mistrust but I am coming to heal wounds and bring restoration.”
 “As a sign of all I will do in restoring families, and as a sign of the importance I place on family, I am raising up not just couples who walk in My love and power, but families. These families operate in the power of My Spirit from a foundation of love. These families will be a marker of all I wish to bring forth in these days. They will showcase the generations ministering together in unity and honor. They will showcase the diversity of gifts flowing through vessels surrendered to Me in order to impact My people and give glory to Me!

“I am raising up families who will minister together. These families will be markers of all I will bring forth in My Body, for I desire to see spiritual mothers and fathers equipping and releasing those coming after them into the fullness of the destiny I have for them. I desire to see an honoring of the path pioneered by the previous generation. Unity will be the hallmark of these families and it will flow from a solid foundation of love and a firm standing on the truth of My Word. Watch for the rise of these families.”

God’s glory is about to manifest on families. The Lord is raising up families who have a combined destiny and who have declared, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15c). Psalm 147:3 (ESV): “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

“I am raising up those who will stand for the restoration of families. I am opening the eyes of My people to see the great and subtle attack of the enemy in this area. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I came to bring abundant life. I am roaring over families and My restoration will be seen as My people partner with Me. Rise up in faith. Rise up in intercession. Be a voice and stand for a return to My ways. Speak life, healing and restoration into those who are walking in pain and brokenness, for I came to heal the brokenhearted. My heart is for transformation of regions and one of the ways this will be seen is through the restoration of families.”

Jeremiah 6:16 (ESV): “Thus says the Lord: ‘Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and find rest for your soul!

Our God is a relational God and His heart is for family. The Lord is raising up more and more people who will stand for the restoration of the family in our nations. The Lord is asking us to rise up and partner with Him to see the plans of the enemy canceled and the plans of God established. He is also asking us to minister to those who have been wounded as His desire is to see people walk in liberty and wholeness. The Lord wants to see transformation of regions and this will be seen as we impact others in our sphere of influence through the love and power of God, and as we return to His ways. 

John 10:10 (ESV): “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” 

 Mathews 28:19-20 (TPT): “Now go in My authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you….”

“There is so much treasure and power in family, for this is My heart. Just as families are arising who are vessels through which My power will be released and My will established, so too spiritual Kingdom families are arising in the same way. They are not just a gathering of My people but a family joined for the purpose of advancing My Kingdom. These Kingdom families carry My heart, walk in My ways and display true discipleship. The enemy has tried to blind My people to the power of family but it is through family that My glory will be released in greater ways in the days ahead.”

Mothers stop weeping over your wayward or prodigal children! The Lord saying to you: “Now is the time to call home the prodigals. In the restoration of families there will also be a return of the prodigals, for I am turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. This will also be seen in Kingdom families for I am raising up those I will use to bring restoration to My Body. They will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. This will open the way for true discipleship and will bring advancement of My Kingdom.”

Single mother and widows mothers rejoice on this mother’s day, the Lord is preparing you as His Bride for the Bridegroom, and one of the ways He is doing this is by turning the hearts of His people. God views the turning of hearts of parents to their children and children to their parents as something vitally important. The Lord is bringing restoration of natural and Kingdom families and calling His people back to true discipleship. God’s desire is for those mature in Christ to teach and equip those new in faith. He desires His people to grow in maturity and understand His nature and ways as well as the truth of His Word.

Luke 1:17 (ESV): “[A]nd he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the Holy disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

Beloved mothers, the glory of God is about to be released on families. May we all take up the invitation to rise up in faith, intercession and action to partner with the Lord in seeing restoration of family. May we all be vessels through which the love and healing of God will impact those who have been wounded in this area. May we all partner with the Lord in calling home the prodigals.Mothers, single mothers, widow mothers, grandmothers and spiritual mothers, the Lord almighty is pouring His great grace, love and His Holy Fire upon you this day. He is blessing you to keep your faith trusting His infinite mercy and great grace to endure, persevere the pressure of life and to strengthen you with His unconditional love all the days of your life. Received Him as your Bridegroom King of kings and Prince of peace in your life!

Have you ever wondered if you are hearing the voice of God… or is it just your conscience?

Do you ever have experiences during the day that bring up a situation from your past that you had thought nothing about at the time? They cause you to tilt your head and think, “That’s very odd.”  Do you want more spiritual discernment in your life?  “Unleashing Faith” takes you on a journey and opens your ears and eyes to the Lord so that you can begin to follow His ways and walk in confidence on the path He has designed for you. 

If someone came up to you and asked you, “Where do you hear God ‘s voice”?, what would you say? If you are like most people you would either say “I don’t know” or “On the inside of me”. But what if you could specifically KNOW exactly WHERE you hear God. I believe once you know for yourself personally where God speaks to you, your life will never be the same.

Here a revelation from the Lord as where I can hear Him. This insight is so simple, that you will be able to teach others where to hear God for themselves. 

The Lord spoke to me…Hear..,,,,Here I inquire Him what does that meant because they both sound exactly the same. Then He said you hear Me in your heart. I knew that already because one day He told me to “get out of my head”. In other words, I was trying to figure out what God was saying to me in my head, instead of listening to His still, small voice in my heart. But what He revealed to me next, totally changed the way I hear God.

What Do You See In Your HEART? The Lord told me to take the “T” off of heart spelling. It became the word “Hear.” Then He said to take the “H” off of hear it became the word “ Ear.” 

Are you starting to see where you hear God? In your heart is where you hear Him. What He shared, you will remember the rest of your life.

God showed me a heart and then split it in two. You know what it looked like? “EARS.”

Saints try to ponder that revelation for a moment. The Lord has given us an amazing revelation of WHERE we can hear HIM!!!

He also wanted to share where we CAN hear Him at anytime. You should have seen the “light bulbs” go off in your minds. You got it! Do you? It’s  Heart To Heart Conversation!!!

God wants to have a heart to heart conversation with you, not a head to head conversation. He speaks to you Spirit to spirit. You will hear God’s still, small voice in your heart and not your head. You will experience more confidence and peace simply knowing where to hear God for you and for others.

Saints, just imagine having a sit down talk with God Almighty. What would you like to share from your heart with Him? He wants you to share how you feel, what you like and even dislike. Why? Because He cares about you and every detail of your life. You were created to have fellowship with Him. Isn’t it time you have a conversation with God?

You Must Know God More Intimately!!! The Lord truly wants you to know Him more intimately, but what does that entail? He wants you to be more open, honest, transparent and vulnerable with Him. Now since you know WHERE you can hear the Lord, you can focus on your heart and not your head when you listen to Him! This will take time for you to find your “Sweet Spot” or “Secret Place” when you are listening and hearing what God is speaking to your heart.

The more transparent you chose to be with the Lord, the more intimate relationship you will have with Him. One of the biggest challenges most people face is not finding someone safe to be transparent with. But God is the SAFEST One you will ever meet. He is gentle, kind, encouraging, the best listener and He understands you like no one else.

Now that you know exactly where you hear God, its time for you to find a quiet place and turn off all distractions. If this is new to you, I understand what you are going through. We all have to start somewhere. I am super excited for you to hear God so clearly simply by you knowing where to hear Him so you can have those personal, intimate conversations with God!

I hope this message has given you revelation and hope to hearing God! Don’t give up press deep into His presence and climb up to Abba Father’s lap and rest your head in Jesus breast as Apostle John the revelator has done to hear His heart!

Prayer to hear God’s voiced.

Lord I humbly come before your throne grace to come speak to me. Increase my ability to hear your voice. Pour out your fire and rain upon me. Let me burn ablaze with you. Break off all rejection and unacceptability roots. Heal me from encounters with people with whom those roots took more root. Cut off all cords. Fill my spirit only with your peace, love and forgiveness. 

More Lord, come and bring more power, more anointing into my life for myself and others. Teach me all the things you want me to learn to walk in the ministry that you have intended for me. Increase my ability to hear you and to precisely hear your words. Let the strength of your voice be clear and unmistakable. Help me to be obedient to all that you have for me, and want and desire of me. 

Pour out upon me supernatural healings for self and all those that I encounter that are open to you. Let me be able to walk in the ministry that you have ordained me to have. Let your peace, grace, and love flow out of me. Let me be a conduit for spiritual blessings to all that you put in my path. Help me to recognize all that you want to say and do through me. Give me supernatural courage to do your will. Let me walk in your presence. Let your presence consume me. Pour out your blessings upon me.

Come Lord and do all that you desire to do in me and through me. Marinate me to your heart’s content. Let me have all the ingredients that you want me to have and may they all gel together and in order of your agenda, goals, and desires for me. Let me learn all that you want me to learn. Let me become all that you want me to become. Let me realize all the plans that you have desired for me. Bring complete deliverance, Lord. Deliver me from all of the enemy’s agenda and let me walk in your power. Come Lord and bless me and all those around me. Let me bring all that I encounter in petition to you Lord.

Come Lord and complete your work in me. Come and perfect it and do all that you desire. Bless me Lord for I am a big sinner. I can only do what you want me to do. Help me to continue to grow in my ability to hear you and know your will. Give me your words with your unmistakable clarity. Use me Lord. Take away all fear. I command all roots of fear to leave now and be gone for good. Bless me Lord with your love and kindness. Bless me Lord for I do not deserve your love. Forgive me of all my sins. 

Convict me of all my sins so that I may repent of them all. Forgive me for not trusting you. Forgive me for not believing you. Forgive me for my lack of courage. Forgive me for not coming to you daily with fresh ears to hear. Forgive me of all evil desires. Let me be in unity with your spirit and with your heart in Jesus name. Amen

Everything changes when we become radically devoted, raging on fire and deeply intimate with Jesus.

Many Believers has asked countless times hie they can experience the miracles and wonders of God?” 

Yes. Believers are thirsty to experience, hungry extremely desperate for an encounter with Jesus! The zeal they have to escape the trappings of the world and to dive into the glories of God is intense! Yet they are not willing to let go their worldly lifestyle to kingdom wisdom to tap in!  Instead of gazing into the heavens and crying out, “God, where are you!”

The answer to these desire of passionate believers is not complicated but couldn’t be more simple: “Live holy and pray in the Spirit always!!! HEARING GOD IS THE GOAL for every born again Believers!  Romans 10:17 (ESV) “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

One greatest tragedies is being invited into to the depths of God and into the supernatural realm where He moves in and you declining it. So many are crying out for God to manifest in the natural realm while he is calling us to manifest in his supernatural realm! There are wonders to behold when we live consecrated lives and pray on fire night and day!

Please listen and stay still in the Lord’s presence undistracted from media, phone or computer or family in your prayer closet!  You can begin your journey into the place where the Holy Spirit broods right now! 

Please join me in prayer as I transcribed this message for a moment:

Sweet Jesus, I decree in your magnificent name that the person reading this is free from disillusionment, disappointment and unbelief. I command, in Jesus’ name, that every haunting and taunting evil spirit to loose your grip and break away from them, right now! I declare wild freedom, joy and exuberant faith, NOW! Faith rise up! Zeal increase! Expectancy come! It’s time for them to step into the wonders of God! Amen!

As we eliminate anything that would hinder a walk in the Spirit from our lives, and develop a lifestyle of fervent, urgent and enjoyable intercession, both in our prayer closets and with other brothers and sisters, the heavens will open up over our lives.

It’s at this point that we will be able to start hearing God. I’m convinced the only way to consistently hear God’s voice is if we are living holy lives, walking in the Spirit and praying in the Spirit. Yet this great price we have to be willing to apply!  “Stop! You’re praying wrong!”

What? How could that be? I was praying so hard. As I walked around the sanctuary space in the Church interceding and felt like I was doing well. Didn’t God want the church to grow?

Then God said: “You are praying as if I’m resisting you. Don’t you realize I put those desires in your heart? Why are you begging me for a desire that I initiated? I gave you the desire in the first place!” Wow! That ruined my whole perception of what prayer was! I had to think differently.

God then said, “There is one who IS resisting you though. The enemy doesn’t want these desires I placed in your heart to come to pass. It is the enemy whom you must fight.” Hence I decided to launch into a new dimension of faith filled and violent prayer!

Feeling impressed by what God wanted me to practice this new fresh revelation downloaded from Him! He told me He wanted me to have more from Him! time to pray pressing on Him to initiate revival in congregation. He wanted me to capture His heart. I knew it was my turn to enforce His will. The enemy must be cast out move and the stronghold of the church has to go.

“In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, I command you devil to release! Get off of my schedule! I declare the heart of God is for me to quit my job and to advance His Kingdom full time in Manitou Springs! How dare you touch the plans of God!”

1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

I prayed according to His will. He wanted me to work full-time in the ministry. One week later, as a church of about 35 people, we received a check in the Sunday offering for $50,000. The following week we received $25,000.

I was full time two weeks later.

That money was “more than enough.” We also used it to move into a 27,000 square foot building. God wanted us to have that all along. The enemy didn’t. I was praying wrong. I was praying as if the provision had to be coaxed away from God. In reality, God had already released it and I just had to go get it–and blast through the enemy’s resistance on the way.

Another story had an equal impact upon my life. I was again in a place of ‘frustration prayer’. I was crying out for needs to be met. I was banging on the doors of heaven in passionate prayer for finances, among other things. Once again I heard the voice of God deep within my spirit, “Your prayer is hindering you.” What? Did I hear correctly? God told me that my prayer in that moment was doing more damage than good. I should stop if I planned on continuing in that vein.

He then said, “Without faith it is impossible to please me.” He added, “Doubt in prayer will ensure that prayer goes unanswered.” Ok, He had my attention. I pondered this, and wrestled with these issues. I didn’t want to doubt. I wanted more than anything to be a man of faith. I wanted these pieces to fit together so I could arrive at some conclusion. God was telling me not to pray! Yet, I still had unresolved issues that demanded a miracle. Oh how alone I felt!

Then the answer came. God asked me why I was praying for something that was already promised in His Word. He has promised to supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory. The very act of asking God for my needs to be met revealed my lack of faith that it has already been done! I was attempting to convince God to do something that He already had resolved! My prayer evidenced my doubt which resulted in my prayer being unanswered!

The Bible reveals, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Doubt was in my heart. It also reveals that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. I was speaking unbelief. Finally, the Bible reveals that the power of life and death are in the tongue. The unbelief in my heart was manifesting as decrees of death over my finances! It would have been better if I didn’t pray at all!

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

No begging, no coercing, no convincing, no doubting allowed in prayer!

James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

I hear God and then declare how the situation must conform to His will. It turns us from a position of defeat and passivity to a position of victory and spiritual violence and powerful faith! We change from the afflicted to the afflicter!
