Summary:
The Father is perfecting a people's spirits so that they will respond with His nature. As we decrease and He increases, we find His lordship increasing in our lives and we walk in the Spirit and not on the soul level. As we give over our wills to do His will, we find that we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which He beforehand created for us to walk in.
Show Notes:
God is perfecting a people's spirits for His own possession.
We are decreasing and He is increasing in us.
The Father is creating us to be His sons.
You are in the relationship with the Lord because you have been bought with a price.
Everything that has transpired in our lives has had His hand on it.
Now we ask ourselves – are we living in the Spirit or on the soul level.
This is all in His plan and His purpose which He reveals to you.
Be open to enter into this process of becoming just like Him.
Quotes:
God is perfecting our spirits, in the way we relate and respond to Him.
The more we're out of the way, the more we have laid our will down unto Him, the greater is His presence and awareness of it in our spirit.
As we live our lives, are you living in the spirit; Or are you living in the soul? If I'm laboring, I'm not His workmanship, I'm trying to be my own workmanship. If I open my heart to Him, and He can change me, just that quick.
The deeper we go in Him, the more we appreciate the grace of God, and we realize how much we needed it.
But it's according to His plan, and His purpose. That's where we fit in.

And we know that God causes all things, to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren, and whom He predestined, these He also called, and whom He called these He also justified and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Take Away:
God's plan and purpose is to raise up sons in the likeness of His first born son, Jesus Christ. Through the process of us decreasing and His nature increasing in us we are being perfected and are becoming His workmanship – His sons in the earth.
Summary:
There are different phases in our walk with God. Many of God's people have experienced a dying out to the soul level in their life. Through this process of purification and emptying out, the Lord begins to take up His abode in them until He is all and in all.
Show Notes:
There are many phases in our walk with God. Dying out to our soul and flesh expressions to come into a expression of our spirit is a common experience of many true believers.
There are those who have went through the process of purification to the place that no longer is their expression coming out of their soul or flesh nature, but the word they speak is the very Word of God.
Many believers are coming to a place that they can find nothing to say in His presence; it is just a deep groaning of spirit.
As we stand in His presence we are being transformed from glory to glory.
As we are emptied out, He begins to take up His abode within us until we are no longer there, just Him.
Ezekiel talks about the levels of water. Wading in water unto our ankles, knees, waist, until it is waters that cannot be crossed. We become one with the water, there are different levels of His presence.
When He appears to us each day we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is that day.
Quotes:
There are different phases in our walk with God, and the first phase was a focus on our spirit, to reach into our spirit, to recognize our spirit - so that we weren't just floating along in some religious thing.
...you probably would not have liked Jesus, you probably would have not liked, Paul, probably would not have liked him seriously would not have liked them because there was something in their spirits that was confrontive, and explosive...
We're coming into that place where we have that much control of our spirits, that we can open our mouths and it won't be our flesh and our soul coming out, It will be the very, Word of God, His way, not our way.
I can't find any way to express to the Lord what I'm feeling. It's like it's in my gut. And there's no words.
All I can do is pray in tongues - I can't do anything else.
I guess that's what He means when He says, Be still and know that I'm God.
When He takes up His abode within us - we are no longer there.
That's what our drive is is Lord, do away with me. Take this body and fill it. That's the Total Redemption because it's no longer us. It's all Him.
...when He appears, will be will be like Him, and I walk it out today . Appear to us Lord, because we know when He appears we will live.

Take Away:
There are many progressive levels in our walk with God. With each new level there necessitates an emptying out of more of us as He takes up His abode in us. The promise is He will cut it short in righteousness and when He appears we will be like Him. We know when You appear we will live. Today is the that day, appear to us Lord.
Summary:
God is bringing on the earth a mighty people. He is creating them in His likeness, to take up His abode in them. He is ruling and reigning over His creation. With a broken spirit and contrite heart they minister the Father's will and love throughout the earth.
Show Notes:
A deep intensity of spirit is coming up out of their hearts to serve in any way that they can to see Christ come forth in each one.
We lay down our crowns at His feet to see our brother come forth in Christ.
We trust in the Father, believing that He is bringing each person forth in His will.
With a broken spirit this people minister to all His people.
Quotes:

There's a humility that is being worked in our hearts. It's coming on a company of people who have been prepared, prepared to have and receive all that He is doing with a broken spirit and a contrite heart.
I think there is a principle about letting Jesus move through us and really, really being Christ in the earth.
God brings forth a bride for His own possession.

Summary:
We learn to live in the realm of our spirit's not our soul lives. A lot of the things that we felt driven to do in the past become un-neccsary, because we are in communion with the Lord. He is moving in our spirit's. We're learning to leave behind a whole realm of relating to God. Now we are moving into a lifestyle where we are constantly being taught and aware of Him.
Show Notes:
On this new realm of spirit we are leaving behind the soulish expressions that we once used to reach into God.
God is creating within us the very ability to be aware of Him 24/7.
Our walk with God is not something we switch on and off, but it becomes a lifestyle.
We are aware of our connection to the Father and He is constantly talking to us.
There is a dedication that we have to this relationship with the Father.
The Father is imparting His wisdom and abilities to people throughout the earth. He is raising them up to bring forth His kingdom.
Quotes:
That we're learning to leave behind a whole realm of relating to God as far as the soulish needs that we feel compelled to do. Because we're moving into another realm where we don't have to do those things to hear from God.
...so when we hear what He's saying something penetrates our hearing ability in the Spirit, and we began to share that, then that becomes something that becomes a thing of a focus, and we will dwell on it and talk about it and share it with each other.
There's a gap there between our spirit and our consciousness. But I think God's even removing that gap, so that we can walk in a perpetual awareness of the presence of the Lord.

Take Away:
A lifestyle of walking in the Spirit is coming forth within a people today. They are coming into that place in their relationship and awareness of the Father that they too will say as the pattern Son once said, “I can do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught has me.” We're becoming more aware of the gift that we have within us, it will grow. We are not in this for the short term. This is the lifestyle of a walk in the Spirit.
