This episode focuses on how to maintain fellowship with God. Suppose you have learned how to enter into fellowship with God; you’ve listened to this podcast, and your communion with God has been helped. How do you maintain it?  

There are external as well as internal forces working against your walk with God. These things are constantly striving to disrupt your intimacy with the Lord. One of the purposes for the Apostle John to write his first epistle was to help his readers know how to walk and maintain communion with the living God, the God of light. Michael Durham shares from I John the key principles of maintaining a close walk with God. The first principle is to keep your confession of sin up to date.

An important ingredient for fellowship with God is transparency. All relationships must be based on honesty if they are to thrive. You need to try to impress the Lord with a pseudo-spirituality, a spirituality that you are pretending to have. We all have issues with sin. We are not to act as if we don't, but we are to acknowledge our sin to God, confessing our need for His grace and aid.

Revival is a return to normal New Testament Christianity. It is to walk in the Spirit consistently. In this episode, Michael Durham considers the indicators that evidence that a believer or a church needs revival. God wants His children to walk in the experience of their inheritance in Christ. But all of us know that we do not always do so. So, listen and discover what the signs of spiritual regression are. We need to know these indicators before our symptoms become a full-blown disease.

We try to find a more biblical view of revival in this episode. One of the prevailing reasons revival is not occurring is the unbiblical attitudes about revival. Some have an idea that revival is a great evangelistic campaign, and others believe in humanistic formulas to be the key to having a revival. And others consider revival a purely sovereign work of God alone. These perspectives are hindering genuine revival, which is Christians returning to healthy New Testament Christianity.

In this episode, we discuss special moves or outpourings of God on His people. Many call these movements of God’s Spirit working in powerful ways revivals. The word revival has come to mean different things to different people. It is highly imperative that we rightly define the word so that confusion does not reign. It is also essential that we rightly understand the word to experience it when needed.

How do you know if God is leading you on a specific path? Well, do not despair. The Lord is too kind to leave us to a guessing game. The Bible gives six markers or identifiers that mark the way of the Lord. You could say these six markers are six tests, tests by which we see if something is God’s will or not. So don’t panic; God commands us to exam Him and all other spirits who would pretend to the Holy Spirit. Thank God that He gave us a book whereby we can test all things and, therefore, able to hold fast to that which is good.

Does God still speak personally to us, or was that something for just the Apostles and no longer viable? In this episode, Michael Durham, explains that God still does speak subjectively. However, to hear God speak is not a physical, but spiritual reality, which requires the spirit of a man to be trained and developed in the art of spiritual listening. Perhaps God is speaking, but you haven’t learned the voice of God, nor the language of the spiritual.
