Samuel's Mantle : How to Hear, See and Sense God's Voice (Prophetic, Prayer, Christian Ministry)

Why did so many people miss the Messiah they had been waiting for?

In this episode, Murray continues the investigation into Judas' betrayal by examining the expectations that shaped an entire generation. Through Old Testament prophecies and the culture of first-century Israel, he reveals why the people, the disciples, the Pharisees, and even Herod were expecting a political Messiah who would overthrow Rome and establish an earthly kingdom.

As the evidence unfolds, you'll discover how deeply held expectations became invisible lenses that influenced the way people interpreted Scripture, understood Jesus' miracles, and responded to His mission. The problem wasn't a lack of evidence—it was a paradigm that prevented them from seeing what God was actually doing.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why first-century Jews expected a political Messiah.

• How expectations shape the way we read Scripture.

• Why even Jesus' closest followers struggled to understand His mission.

• How false paradigms can keep us from recognizing God's work.

• Why understanding these expectations is essential to understanding Judas' actions.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to recognize God's voice and activity while others completely miss it? The answer may not be that God isn't speaking—it may be the "glasses" you're wearing.

In this episode, Murray explores how our paradigms—our deeply held beliefs, assumptions, and ways of interpreting the world—shape everything we see, hear, and understand. Through the stories of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Peter, Judas, and Jesus' use of parables, you'll discover how false paradigms can create spiritual blind spots that keep us from recognizing what God is doing right in front of us.

You'll learn why renewing your mind is more than changing your thoughts—it's learning to remove the invisible lenses that distort reality. As those old paradigms are replaced with God's perspective, you'll begin to see Scripture, life, and the voice of God with fresh clarity.

In this episode you'll discover:

• How paradigms influence your ability to hear God.

• Why sincere believers can still misunderstand His voice.

• The difference between hearing through your own assumptions and hearing through the Spirit.

• Why Jesus often spoke in symbols and parables.

• How to begin replacing false paradigms with God's perspective.

Season 3 continues with the beginning of Class 3 as Tricia introduces Murray's teaching on one of the greatest obstacles to hearing God's voice—our own belief systems and paradigms.

Have you ever wondered why hearing God can sometimes feel so difficult? In this episode, Murray explores how our personal beliefs, life experiences, cultural influences, and deeply rooted ways of thinking shape the way we hear—and sometimes miss—what God is saying. Drawing from Scripture, he explains why God often speaks through symbols, dreams, parables, and impressions rather than simply giving us direct answers.

Discover how God gently works beyond our natural way of thinking, inviting us into a deeper relationship where transformation comes through encounter, not just information. As old paradigms are broken, we begin to recognize His voice more clearly and experience the intimacy He has always desired with us.

Whether you're learning to hear God's voice for the first time or longing to grow deeper in your relationship with Him, this episode will challenge you to look beyond head knowledge and embrace the life-changing journey of walking with God.

Michelle Simons has been part of Samuel's Mantle for six years, and her journey is one of steady growth, deep transformation, and discovering how naturally God communicates.

In this conversation with Tricia Warren, Michelle shares how one teaching on paradigm shifts changed the way she understood dreams, symbols, and everyday encounters with God. She also talks about the importance of finding a healthy prophetic community, serving as a small group leader, and how those relationships sustained her through difficult seasons.

Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been walking with the Lord for years, Michelle's story is an encouraging reminder that learning to recognize God's voice is a lifelong adventure—and one that is best experienced in community.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How a paradigm shift transformed Michelle's understanding of hearing God.

• Why prophetic community is so important for spiritual growth.

• How serving others deepens your own learning.

• Why there is "nothing to lose and everything to gain" by stepping out and growing in your relationship with God.

Does it ever feel like God is silent? What if the problem isn't that He isn't speaking—but that we're still learning to recognize His voice?

In this episode, Murray explores the many ways God communicates with His children, from dreams and spiritual sensitivity to burdens, impressions, and the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit. Discover why so many believers overlook these moments, and learn how removing old beliefs and expectations can help you recognize that God has been speaking all along.

As you begin to understand the language of the Spirit, you'll discover that God's voice is often much closer than you imagined.

Why does God often speak through dreams, symbols, parables, and gentle impressions instead of plain words? And what might be preventing us from recognizing His voice?

In this episode, Murray explores how culture, education, religion, and personal experiences can shape the way we see the world—and how these "glasses" can block our spiritual vision. Discover why Scripture calls us to see through the Spirit rather than through human wisdom, and learn how God invites us to remove the filters that keep us from experiencing a deeper relationship with Him.

As you begin to see through the Father's eyes, you'll discover that there's often far more happening than meets the eye.

Can everyone really hear God's voice? If the answer is yes, why does it sometimes seem so difficult?

In this episode of the Samuel's Mantle Podcast, Murray explores one of the greatest obstacles to hearing God—not God's willingness to speak, but the belief systems we've developed through culture, religion, education, family, and personal experiences.

Discover how these hidden filters shape the way we see God and ourselves, often limiting our ability to recognize His voice. Through biblical teaching and practical illustrations, you'll learn why God often speaks through dreams, visions, impressions, and gentle promptings, and how renewing your perspective can open the door to a deeper relationship with your heavenly Father.

Whether you've always wondered if you can hear God or you've struggled to recognize His voice, this episode will encourage you to lay aside old assumptions and embrace the invitation of the New Covenant: "My sheep hear My voice."

Join us as we discover that hearing God isn't reserved for a select few—it's part of every believer's relationship with a loving Father.

"Jesus Christ is alive in your body."

Many Christians believe hearing God's voice is reserved for prophets, pastors, or especially gifted believers. But is that really what Scripture teaches?

In this episode, Tricia introduces a teaching by Murray that explores the dramatic shift that took place through Jesus Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Looking at both Old and New Testament passages, they examine how the role of prophets changed under the New Covenant and why every believer now has direct access to God.

Discover what Joel's prophecy means for us today, why Jesus called the Holy Spirit our Helper and Teacher, and how the language of dreams, visions, impressions, and revelation became available to all God's children.

Through biblical teaching and powerful real-life stories, you'll be encouraged to see hearing God's voice not as an elite gift for a select few, but as part of normal Christian life.

And as the episode concludes, a new question emerges: If God is still speaking, what might be preventing us from hearing Him?

Scriptures discussed include Joel 2, Acts 2, John 16, James 5, Matthew 11, and 1 Corinthians 14.

If God is truly a loving Father, does He still speak to His children today?

In this deeply personal episode, Murray Dueck shares powerful stories from his own journey of encountering God's voice and discovering the Father's heart. Growing up with an Old Testament view of God, Murray struggled with feelings of rejection, distance, and hopelessness—until a series of life-changing encounters revealed a God who was closer, kinder, and more personal than he had ever imagined.

Through prophetic words, unexpected moments of revelation, and powerful experiences of God's love, you'll discover how encounters with God can transform the way we see ourselves and the way we hear Him.

If you've ever wondered whether God still speaks today—or whether He could speak to you—this episode will encourage you to pursue a deeper relationship with the Father who knows you, sees you, and calls you by name.

Join us as we continue the journey from fear to relationship and discover the God who still speaks.
