  • A Fixed Focus
    *Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.

    Summary:

    As we continually expose ourselves to God, we find that many of the things that we have struggled with are simply wiped away. This continual focus on the Lord enables us to give back to God what He has always desired from us; a people who worship Him in spirit and in truth.

    Show Notes:

    • As we see our salvation grow, you have to answer who's my master? Who am I going to serve?

    • Without the cross of Christ, without the fire of the Holy Spirit, it doesn't matter how much outpouring we have, man will always pervert it.

    • The more I seek You, the more I find You, the more I love You. I want to sit at Your feet, drink from the cup in Your hand, lay back against You, feel Your heartbeat. This love is so deep.


       

      Quotes:

      • I need to be totally focused on the Lord, and then these other things will fall into place...

      • How do I focus on the Lord? One of the things you can do is just simply expose yourself to Him.

      • All these things that we go through in our flesh can be wiped away by keeping our focus on the Lord.


         

        Scriptural References:

        Matthew 6:26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?

        Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.

        John 5:19 Jesus, therefore, answered and said unto to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

        Matthew 6:3 But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

        Take Away:

        As we stand at His feet and love Him and Worship Him, we find the place that He has reserved for those who are continually focused on Him. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee. Because he trusteth in Thee.

      • Creating Relationships With God’s Love
        *Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.
        Summary:
        Relationships start with God’s love. Everything in God is based on relationships.
        He wants people to love with His love.
        Friends and acquaintances are important, a simple smile can create a lifelong relationship.
        Show Notes:
        Do we want to create relationships? Do we tend to be arrogant and make others feel inferior? The
        Pharisees knew the scriptures, and we learn that “The letter kills but the spirit gives life”.
        Right relationships start with receiving God’s love. He wants people to love with His love. God Freights
        our words with His Spirit and we are to just speak and/or make eye contact with a smile, which are
        means to impart His love. Relationships are what matter; they are far more important than having all the answers. The age and or experience level are irrelevant, it is the relationship that ministers.
        Expect to hear God speak through another, God flows through people. Right relationships are created by a word from God.
        References:
        1 Cor. 3:6-9
        6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
        7. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the
        growth.
        8. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his
        own labor.
        9. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
        2 Cor. 3:6
        6. who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the
        letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
        1 John 4:9-13
        9. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world
        so that we might live through Him.
        10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation
        for our sins.
        11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
        12. No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is
        perfected in us.
        13. By this we know that we abide in Him and He is us because He has given us of His Spirit.
        1 John 4:19
        19. We love because He first loved us

      • Our Open Door To Live In Our Father’s Heart
        *Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.

        Summary:

        Our relationship with our Father is created by experiences. By voicing “You are my Father, I am your son.” He abides in us and we abide in Him. The words He speaks are spirit and life. His presence is everything to us.

        Show Notes:

        • “He really loves the names He gave Himself. Call Him call Jehovah Jireh, call Him Yawei, call Him Father, call Him Elohim.

        • He holds all things by the word of His power. He permeates your thinking, your emotions, everything. (Acts 17)


           

          Quotes:

          • “I'm used to saying God, and I'm a believer, I'm a Christian. But it makes a lot more intimate to say, You are my Father, we are Your family.”

          • We abide in Him and Him in us. And we function in Him.

          • Everything of God that He is beaming at us, 24/7 is turned loose by simply saying “Lord I believe.”


             

            Scriptural References:

            I John 4:16 And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

            Acts 17:28 For in Him we live, and have our being; as certain poets have said, for we are also His offspring.

            Matthew 6:9 After this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.

            Romans 10: 6-8 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) or, who shall descend into the abyss? (that is to bring Christ up from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach...

            John 6:63 It is the Spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

            Takeaway:

            Our walk with God is based upon our experiences with one another, with the Holy Spirit, and with the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our life.

          • Obedience Of Sons
            *Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.
            Summary:
            Are we going to obey? When the Nature of Christ is worked us, it
            is no longer a thought as we have the mind of Christ.

            • Moses hit the rock out of disobedience.
            • The importance of what God is doing in each of us, is finding
            Him in one another.
            • I am finding it easier to obey God because I know you.
            • Start wherever you are at.
            • The ending point is the nature of Christ worked in you.
            • We are talking about metamorphosis from a worm to a
            butterfly.

            believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel,

            given them.”

            righteousness?

            14. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of
            God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them,
            because they are spiritually appraised
            15. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is
            appraised by no man,
            16. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct
            Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
            Hebrews 5:8
            8. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things
            which He suffered.

            *Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.
            Summary:
            Are we interpreting what the scripture says? Or are we getting
            Revelation?
            It is the Holy Spirit that reveals Jesus and all that the Father has given
            Him.
            Without hunger, there will be no reaching into to get a revelation.

            Show notes:
            • Christianity as a whole has gotten away from trusting in the
            leading of the Holy Spirit as seen in the scriptures.
            • It is up to us to open up and receive that same word that is
            coming by the holy Spirit.
            • The breaking down of resistance, walls, is the beginning of
            opening up and hearing from the Holy Spirit.
            • I loose the Spirits of the people to come alive in a drive to
            want to know who the Father is, who Jesus is, Who the Holy
            Spirit is to teach us who they are.

            Where is our focus?
            Everything comes at all of us to cause distractions and draw our focus
            away from what the Holy Spirit is saying.
            Many millennia have passed and no one has made this world unified or a
            “Paradise”
            There is one thing we are instructed to do: Seek first His Kingdom.

            • Each person is deciding in their own heart.

            Summary:
            God is moving by His Spirit without observation in
            many areas. He reveals Himself to His family and all creation.

            • Gift ministries, gifts of the Holy Spirit, so much was released
            • and so much without observation.
            •  I have never heard of individual parts because He is always
            • swallowing them up in the body of Christ.
            •  You can’t say, “Christ is here, Christ is there,” for Christ is in
            • our midst.

                  Do we know God the Father’s voice?
                  Are we willing to hear what He has to say?
                  Do we know what He is saying today?
                  Show Notes:
                  • We give our spirits and whole life to hear His voice and
                  speak His Word

                  • Jesus only spoke what He heard the Father speak
                  • We are being refined as we wait on Him to speak His Word

                  • It is my freewill to be obedient to His voice
                  • Do we trust Him? Yes, we have learned He is
                  • Do not conjure up a “Word”
                  • Do not tell God “what to do”
                  • How do we relate to circumstances that do not necessarily
                  go our way?

                  Summary:
                  How do we relate to the Lord?
                  What is a relationship with the Lord?
                  God wants a relationship with us more than we want one with Him.
                  Show Notes:
                  • It is talking to Him, a relating to Him, communicating, and
                  sharing before the Lord.
                  • The Lord may not answer right away.
                  • You have to start and stay with it.
                  • He will not be real to you if you cannot be real to God.
                  • God wants to impart to you an honesty and integrity.
                  • Ask and keep asking, knock and keep knocking, because He
                  will intentionally act like He does not hear you.
                  • Continue until He responds to you.
                  • He wants a relationship also.
                  • He wants us to be with Him.
