Youth 5 minute update.

Consider FASTING from all social media & certain Video games- is there any chance they will be better for spending time on social media? or are they most likely to regret the time they spent on it. we need to start thinking about this like smoking, alchohol, drugs, it is that dangerous.
Please pray. there is a demonic attack against these young men, some of them falling deep into the enemies trap and are living in hypocracy.
1 Thessalonians 4:1–12 “1 Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. 9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are do…”

Parsonage Etiquette & Protocol

I have announced several projects that we are doing here at this location and at the Parsonage. (Multi-Purpose Facility). However I need to clarify a difference in the access to the two locations.
Jon and Sam Hammer (or whoever we have living on the property) that they are sole security and caretakers for the property.
They have had not just a few incidents were there have been intruders on the property In some cases there has been damage, and things have been stolen things. We have had to call the police several times in the last year.
We have an arrangement with them and they are responsible for the security and maintenance of the property. Jon is doing a terrific job.
I am thankful for everyone that helps keep an eye on the property as they drive by. I get alerts, and notices from some of you about activity on or near the property and that that is helpful especially with the recent unlawful activity.
However, I want to honor their privacy. If we need to go on the property to access the storage facility, or do anything on the property I have promised we will give them advanced notice through me. Please honor that.
Reminder do anything on the Parsonage without advanced permission with Me.

Linda’s Memorial

WOW,.... so amazing… so grateful to be part of a church like this. This was incredibly difficult to do.
We were in the midst of grieving ourselves!
A bigger group than we normally support and we went all out.
it was so so beautiful, every detail, I am in awe.
everyone working together.
so many opportunities for frustration, as it is stressful to pull off a project like this.
It was an amazing labor of love.
you all overlooked opportunities for offense, and worked together, and loved on each other and Linda and Janets family.
Not a single critical comment… everyone so so happy and
Even Our youth making this happen! Jerrica - that Pulled pork was so good… we are so thankful for your generosity
I realize though that we did not get as much time as we needed to do our own grieving and support.
I acknowledge going on without Linda is hard. it just is. I still ache at moments over missing Mary Jane and Maurice.
This is the way separation is. It hard its not the road we choose it is one that we get when we have loved well.
that's why God gives us a blessing in it. Blessed are those that morn.
Matthew 5:4 ESV
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Grieving and sorrow are important, and we are blessed when we seek God’s presence in the midst of the grief.
I am convinced that verse goes far deeper than the surface reading.
she meant so much to all of us - some of us much more than others, and I know that it is HARD. I want to hug every one of you.
We are not to be intimated by DEATH - just not. (nor by fear) -
1 Corinthians 15:50–58 ESV
50 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
song by “Cageless Birds” and it is called “River of Love”.
It is a song Linda sang to Jesus often. In this song it calls Jesus a “River of Love” such a beautiful description of living person of Jesus.
What if one of us stumbles.?
Restore in a spirit of gentleness.
Those that stumble. do not harden you heart and double down on your stumble… lets move forward in a spirit of teachable humility. Learn how to test yourself. (by asking for the Holy spirit to examine you and be open to being wrong.
Galatians 6:1–5 ESV
1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.

News to know

Spending Culture (good news! win barely.)

Last year, Heritage Action identified the approaching $31.4 trillion debt limit as an opportunity to pass sensible spending and regulatory reforms instead of continuing the dangerous trajectory of federal spending that Washington is so accustomed to.
Since January, Heritage Action has laid out the details of the issue at hand and outlined a series of specific policy solutions including:
Capping spending levels at FY 2022 Making systemic reforms and cutting wasteful spending on bloated programsImplementing pro-growth regulatory reforms
After months of your advocacy, the House not only introduced the Limit, Save, Grow Act (a bill that meets all Heritage Action’s criteria) but they also PASSED it 217-215!

You Shouldn't Throw Away Your Hard Copy Books
tucker comments so powerful… https://youtu.be/T_5CwiF-o8U

Cancel culture = hypocrite culture

A horrific demonic movement that refuses to listen and enter into an intelligent civil dialog, but prefer to yell shout, intimidate and terrorize to make their “superior” ideas drown out reason and logic.
They ask us to be tolerant of them while they have no tolerance for us. refuse to listen to diverse ideas while calling for more diversity.
Big tech war spreads - HubSpot and JW Player and event management site Eventbrite have canceled Daily Wire . this last week. Matt Walsh banned form YOu tube, and Brett Cooper banned form TikTok, and Michael Knoweles was being evacuated from U of Pittsperg because of a riot protesting his speech, and other leftists burned Michael in Effigy.
But it is important to note, that according to the left, they deserved this treatment because they used the daily wire folks were using “hate speech”… of course they were not, they were speaking intellectually strong and valid opinions. and because those opinions are by an large judeo-christian values being expressed increadibly well they are all hated, by people that call God speach hate speach. they have the gall to show Project Veritas Releases ‘Disturbing’ Undercover Footage From Gender Clinics Advising 10-Year-Old
action? Lets, care and listen — unlike the demonic left. Example:
Tucker Carlson FOX fired and canceled Tucker. shock, and no believable reason given, other than ideological differences, after SChumer and AOC demanded he be canceled. Top New show host. by far, and no scandle. woke left like AOC, schumer, they removed 40% of the advertising from Tucker Carlson by intimidating the ESG woke corporations for advertising on the slot. then harassed tucker in with false accusations. and made him unpalatable to FOX that was “posing as conservative news”.
Matt Walsh - YOu tube demonetizing . costing him $100K/week. Monday of this week. same day as tucker announcement. all three examples of breaking you tube’s vauge rules were shows discussing Dylan Mulvaney, and the crime of “misgendering”. Effectively the is used to remove people that refuse to go along with the “trans” insanity, (the majority are Christian)
Riley Gaines - a women whose “crime” is to take and publicak speak out against her own experience of womens sports being comandeered by males . The left screamed and yelled and forced her to lee and barricaded her in a room while a gang of trans militants stood outside, negotiating her surrender.
Good news. - this shows that God has been blessing these communicators to communicate clearly and they became a sever threat to the Left. The left response proves that the’re being motivated by demonic forces.
Bad news they must use lawyers to ensure those who should protect them are doing their job.
Matt Walsh response.
On Monday afternoon, I was informed that YouTube was demonetizing my channel. This was a first step towards a possible permanent demonetization, or banishment from the platform entirely. YouTube keeps its rules intentionally vague. They will penalize you for violating their policies, and yet they will not explain exactly what their policies are. The company gives itself the license to single anybody out, for whatever reasons they decide. They accused me of engaging in hateful conduct which supposedly ran afoul of both their community guidelines and their ads guidelines. They already took the step of deleting a number of my offending episodes, and now they are taking away our ads, which is a penalty of more than $100,000 per month.
They provided us with just three examples of my infractions, though they wouldn't tell us why they were infractions. All three of them had to do with Dylan Mulvaney and seemed to revolve around the crime of “misgendering,” for example, when I referred to Mulvaney at one point as a “guy.” You should know that we were not flagged by the algorithm and this wasn't some low-level decision. But a path to remonetization is available. It seems we can get back into YouTube's good graces by simply respecting preferred pronouns and refraining from offering any meaningful critiques of gender ideology. In other words, all I have to do is forfeit my integrity and betray all of my deepest held principles. Not to skip ahead, but I can tell you right now that my answer to that offer is not only no, but hell no.
The next day, shortly after I finished eating dinner with my family, I noticed that my Twitter account had been logged out on my computer. I tried to log back in and the password didn't work. That's when I knew that I was hacked. I grabbed my phone to call my team, but my phone had stopped working at that precise moment. And that's when I knew that the hack went far beyond Twitter. As we would soon find out, the hacker had pulled off a maneuver known as “SIM swapping,” where the target's phone number is transferred over to a SIM card that the hacker controls. Once they have your number and your SIM card, they can access almost anything. And this hacker did. He got into my text messages, my DMs, my emails, everything. Leftists and trans activists were giddy, cheering on the attack. They begged for my private messages to be released and said that I deserved to be the victim of this federal crime.
At least one journalist openly solicited my stolen information. The hacker did an interview with that journalist, who works for the publication Wired. The hacker showed the journalist my tax documents, some pictures, and some of my old emails. The article directly quotes one of my private emails, though it contained nothing salacious or even mildly interesting. The only interesting revelation in the article is that the hacker had help from an unspecified “insider.” We have independently found other evidence which also points in that direction. However he did it and whoever helped him — and we will find all of this out, I promise you — it resulted in something much worse than the mere headache of someone posting dumb tweets from my account. This was a total violation of our privacy, and one of the worst things that my family has ever experienced. I didn't sleep that night. I was up with our security team and tech guys and lawyers, trying to put out dozens of fires all at once. Through the following day, we had people on the phone with Microsoft, Apple, Google, Twitter, my cell phone carrier, the FBI, local law enforcement, etc. It was a nightmare even with all of these resources available to me. I can't imagine what this kind of attack is like for people who aren't so fortunate.
On Wednesday, with no sleep, I flew to the University of Iowa to deliver a speech in front of what turned out to be a massive sold out crowd. There was a lot of energy in the room, which gave me enough of a boost to get through the event without passing out on stage or descending into incoherent Joe Biden mumbles. Outside, throngs of protesters took to the streets, stopping traffic and blocking the exits out of the event. They dumped thousands of marbles in the hallway outside of the auditorium in hopes of causing serious injury to the hundreds of people walking out. Fortunately, the plan failed.
It was a difficult week, but also fully in keeping with my experience over the past year or more. Especially since my film What Is A Woman came out, we have been doxxed, threatened, stalked, and harassed almost constantly. The threats became severe and frequent enough to necessitate 24-hour armed security in our home. Last night, a Reddit post went viral from someone calling me a homophobic Nazi and saying that I should be murdered. The poster said he's “tired of me getting away with this” — meaning, he's tired of me getting away with expressing my beliefs openly — and there “needs to be consequences.” The consequence, he specifies, should involve me being bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat. This is not the sentiment of just one random weirdo on Reddit. Someone posted something similar to Twitter a few weeks ago and it got tens of thousands of likes and thousands of supportive comments. There is a wide consensus on the Left. I deserve to be killed. They have made that point abundantly clear.
But the good news is that we are not taking any of this lying down. I am going to work with law enforcement to ensure that the person who hacked into my phone, and anyone who granted him access, is punished to the full extent of the law. We are going to sue everyone involved. I can't say much more about it right now, except that many different wheels are currently in motion. If the people who did this aren't nervous right now, they should be.
On the YouTube front, as long as they make affirmation of gender ideology a prerequisite for posting my show on the platform, I will not post my show on the platform. But I also will not allow myself to be banished into obscurity, off to some internet ghetto where nobody will find my content. Big Tech wants me to either surrender my principles or become irrelevant. They will be happy with whichever of those two options I choose. Which is why I choose neither. Instead, starting today, we are going to make this show available to everyone, for free, on the Daily Wire. It will also be available on Rumble, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all of the other places you normally get your podcasts. And we are trying something new. Starting today, every episode will be posted in full on Twitter, which is now the most powerful free speech platform in the world. If you follow our channel on YouTube, you can still find plenty of content that we'll make specially for you, and we'll still post clips from the show so that we can reach new audiences with our message. But we won't give YouTube our full show so long as the situation remains as it is. The point is that we are not going to capitulate, but we also aren't going to scale down and become obsolete. Instead we are going to be bigger, we are going to innovate, we are going to reach more people in more ways on more platforms. This is just the beginning. I'll have more to announce soon.
Also, we've been talking with Congress. YouTube shouldn't be allowed, legally, to hold its users to standards of conduct that it refuses to properly explain. It's not just that they target conservative voices — which is bad enough on its own — but that they do it in these incredibly underhanded ways with intentionally ambiguous rules that are enforced unevenly according to their opaque policies that they often seem to be making up as they go. The only way this changes is if the people running YouTube experience a sudden and mysterious bout of integrity, or if the law forces it to change. I'm not betting on the former, so instead I'll fight for the latter, and I will take the fight all the way to Capitol Hill.
There is a point at the end of this whole saga. The point is that the term “culture war” is no mere metaphor. We are up against people who have no interest in debates or discussions. If you oppose them, they will not engage with your arguments. They will simply try to silence and ruin you. There will be no rebuttals, except the ones that they issue in the form of censorship, death threats, and worse. The more that they perceive you as a threat, the more that they will work to destroy you and everyone associated with you. This should not dissuade us. We shouldn't be discouraged by the viciousness of our opponents, but motivated by it. It couldn't possibly be more clear who is on the wrong side and who is on the right side. This is about as black and white as a cultural divide can get. There is one side that hates the truth, rejects it in principle, and wishes total destruction on all those who speak it. All you have to do is choose the side that is not that one. It may require courage to take that stand, but at least you'll know where to stand.
As for my ongoing ordeal, I didn't tell you all of it so that you would feel sorry for me. I chose this line of work. I chose to be in this fight. I went in with my eyes open. I may get hit with a curveball on occasion — I may be introduced to new concepts like “SIM swapping,” for example — but mostly I am getting exactly what I expected from the vicious, bloodthirsty rage-mob and its leaders in Big Tech. It has not dissuaded me even slightly. I still will not back down by an inch or compromise at all. I have told you many times that I would rather be dead than surrender to these people, and I meant it. So to all of the people who are sending me death threats, posting my home address, hacking my accounts, trying to black mail and threaten me, giving away my personal information, mass reporting me to get me deplatformed, and all the rest of it, I want you to know that nothing you have done, or will do, or could do, will ever make me shut up. None of your schemes have worked, or can ever work. It is all futile. Your efforts are hopeless. The truth is the truth, and I will never pretend otherwise. I am not here to make a martyr of myself. I don't want any of the good guys to be martyrs. I want us to win. And we will.

Digital Currency

Via executive order, Joe Biden has instructed the federal government to begin moving toward a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). CBDCs are programmable digital currencies that eliminate cash — and your local banks. Instead, the U.S. government becomes your bank via the Federal Reserve (the Fed). Make no mistake: The use of credit cards or electronic transfers is far different from a cashless society under a digital currency program. Once the Fed is your bank, the government need not go through pesky “due process” measures to spy on you. As your bank, the government will have full visibility and control of every cent you make or spend, with no search warrant or court order needed. The government will know all your accounts, your spending habits, travel, and most importantly, the government can direct, influence, and control each expenditure.
Big-government control-minded propagandists like Paul Krugman are already trying to paint anyone who opposes the Fed’s CBDC scheme as a criminal. In recent comments to the press, Krugman insisted that opposition to the CBDC would “protect the ability of wiseguys to evade taxes, launder money, buy and sell illegal drugs, and engage in extortion.” Krugman — whose economic theories played a large part in moving American manufacturing jobs offshore — wants you to believe that only bad guys oppose the CBDC, and that if you aren’t a criminal, you don’t have anything to hide from the government. What if you attended a church that opened during the draconian lockdowns? Your accounts could be frozen along with those of the church. And what if the government limits the miles you can drive in a month under the guise of curbing your carbon footprint? CBDCs will allow total control. But such an argument belies our constitutional rights, not the least of which is to be secure in our papers and documents and in the daily transactions of our lives without snooping or interference from bureaucrats and tyrannical politicians. Friedrich Hayek, an economist whose theories on individual property (including money) better align with our Constitution, argued that liberty is only possible when an individual has full ownership and control over his possessions, his land, and the work of his hands without government interference or control over those resources. Robert P. Murphy, an economist and senior fellow with Mises Institute, says the Fed would not even need to officially launch a so-called “FedCoin” to start their CBDC financial surveillance scheme. Instead, “it would just take people switching their checking accounts to the Fed.” If “people’s checking deposits were liabilities on the Fed’s balance sheet, that would be a central bank digital currency,” Murphy said. “They would still be ‘dollars,’ it’s just that the Fed would be in complete control; there wouldn’t be an intermediate level of private — and competing! — commercial banks.”
The inner Voice of the Holy Spirit

Sermon Series : Hearing Gods voice

eschatological = study of the future destiny of humankind and the world; end-time events.

#1 The Established Word of GOD

LOGOS - Jesus! the word became flesh!
John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
no fair leaving book out - you miss out on the full picture of god, and risk making god in your own image.
The word is a sword - sharp and active!
Handle the word of GOD diligently
Ask “What DID it mean”? to the original audience. the context contains power.
then use three steps
1. Observation (what did it say?)
2. Interpretation (what did it Mean?)
3 Application (what is God saying to you personally?, and this is for your own good, so be honest!)
conformity to God’s word is our way to holiness, obedience and action.
Our culture is saying NO to the Bible, but it is the very source of everything they need! They are trading the True of God for a lie. It is only hurting themselves.
lets not make the same mistake

Living LOGOS and memorization

What struck me in Thessalonians 1& 2:
Gentle - we are not to be Harsh. with the truth we can get harsh, but humility and love are to be used to accurately handle the WORD of truth.
Hard working - the great resignation is an outgrowth of anti-christian work ethic.

#2 The living Word (Rhema)

Romans 10:17 “17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” “ So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
A passage of the bible suddenly seams to shine light into your heart and applies uniquely to your particular situation. Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
It is the living breathing word of God. It will illuminate YOUR PATH, specifically for the concerns you have IF you submit yourself and your reading to the Holy Spirit.
It is supposed to be fresh and daily.. like the mana from heaven (the bread of life) it must be gathered and consumed daily. it is fresh.

Examples

Dietrich Bonhoeffer - “When you read your Bible you must think that hear and now God is speaking with you! You can’t be a Christian unless you hear from God. He wants to speak to you Personally, not just in principles and beliefs… but to you personally.” - Dietrich was struggling with knowing what to do when he retreated to america for a short time in the face of the rising Nazi threat in Germany. He read in his bible Isaiah 28:16b “‘Whoever believes will not flee in haste.’” I knew that was his answer. and he quickly boarded the very last ship that was allowed to leave before the war began.
Alexander Peden - was on of the 17th century Scotland “Conventers” and a powerful preacher that was driven by the authorities to live a life on the run. He traveled through the countryside sleeping in barns and haystacks to preach the word to small groups of believers secretly. He knew that god had lighted Psalm 32:7 just for him “thou art my hiding place...” He then lived in EXPECTATION that God would do just that for Him as he was strengthened in God’s presence in His WORD.
Reese Howells - felt god was asking him to build a bible college, in whales and began praying. Later He read the word and in 1 Chronicles 28 and knew that God had called him to” be strong and do it” and that it would cost the equivalent of a Talent go Gold (6,150 lbs)- and it turned out to be the case as he moved in obedience.
Corrie Ten Boom - the word called her to repent and forgive the man who betrayed her family to death and her to endure the concentration camp for housing Jesus in the Hiding Place in their shop. her forgiveness after the war cause the man to turn his life over to Jesus and become a Christian.
the result of listening to God is often greater Holiness Discipleship and evangelism

#3 The Inner Witness of the Holy Spirit(check/peace)

He is also the the “Counselor” and as the Spirit of Truth the Holy spirit will bear witness to TRUE FACTS inside us.
Romans 8:16 ESV
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Like a stoplight - The holy spirit provide to us Guidance in the form of simple response to our questions… Red light, Yellow light, Green light
John 14:15–17 ESV
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
John 14:26–27 ESV
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
The truth is that only those who have been born again, born of the Spirit who can call Jesus Lord and Savior can call God "Abba Father" ( Galatians 4:6–7).
“bearing witness” - A witness will I testify to a fact that they have personal knowledge of. The spirit of Truth as able to connect with our “spirit” to confirm the fact of our adoption, and so many more truths...
A “Peace” or a “check” A check is simply a lack of peace, not being settled. Asking the God of the universe a yes or no question. one way he will answer is with the witness of the Holy Spirit speaking to our spirit, and we will sense a check, or peace. Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
RED = check… don't Go forward I am not in this. No peace in doing this thing.
YELLOW = perhaps unclear, but certainly not settled please, so use caution and patience.
counterfeit witnesses - The devil is seeking to device us. We are told in no uncertain terms that to seek after wisdom apart form the LORD is sin and wickedness for us. SEEK THE LORD for this wisdom, then listen....
Confirmation with a second witness - when your unsure if you are hearing from the Holy spirit, it can be very helpful to get confirmation. In the OT all facts were established by 2 or three witnesses. and in the Church this was a clear protocol that was mentioned several times. So get another witness! to the truth!
Counterfeits prove the value of the Authentic!
The voice of Truth is often Quiet and simple.

The Logic Challenge.

Many of us. Most of us are used to making logical decisions. or perhaps even some intuitive decisions based on logic and reason. We are very uncomfortable listening to fleeting spiritual perceptions.
For me this was very hard to learn, and it is still a challenge for me. I had to decide to follow these checks, and leading within the bounds of wisdom and godly counsel, to begin to learn that yet indeed i was hearing from God.
I get confirmations so often now that it has become common place.

Summary: Ask & Listen

If you have been listening today you will know then, that God does speak through an inner witness. But he only does this for those that are his Children.
If you have not turned your life over to the Master, the Lord and Savior Creator and redeemer of the World, Jesus Christ, this is your chance to do so.
unless you have come to him as a little child and repented of your sin, you cannot hear the inner witness of the Holy Spirit.
Only then will you dead spirit be brought to life, and have communion with the Holy Spirit. It is with your spirit that the Holy Spirit will speak.
You must receive the Holy Spirit as a true Son or Daughter of God before you can have Him dwell in your heart and speak with you.
You must be born again.
Quote: “Those born once will die twice and those born twice will die once ” ― Chuck Missler
is there anyone here that is willing to ask God to become his Child?

#4 The Still, Small Voice of GOD

the inner voice of the Holy Spirit - sensing the Divine within

What is a still small voice of God?

1 Kings 19:11–12 ESV
11 And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.
1 Kings 19:13–14 ESV
13 And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He said, “I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”
1 Kings 19:15–18 ESV
15 And the Lord said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. 16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel, and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place. 17 And the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha put to death. 18 Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Interesting passage. we covered this 2 yeas ago I think.
and this dialog starts with a “whisper” turns into a dialog, that turns into some spiritual anointings, that turns into a political bloodbath.
the only one that esecape are those that were brave enough to not bow to the demonic political pressure to bow or kiss a stupid idol.
Dont tell me the church is not supposed to get involved in politics!
SHow me that Pastor Ken in the Bible. I think it would be more difficult to show you were this is NOT the case. realy.
what is the still small voice? “an inaudible voice originating in your sanctified inner spirit and traveling to your mind subconsciously as a “thought”, or flood of thoughts.” - pg 72 “Love Speaks”
usually short and too the point and sometimes a question
we will study audible voices later…
inaudible… are you sure how did he hear the whisper?
“whisper” = . דְּמָמָה demâmâh, dem-aw-maw´; quiet:—calm, silence, still.
this reminds me of Jesus
John 10:27 ESV
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
so this makes sense, we should be able to hear this small voice.

Another example: Philip Acts 8

Acts 8:26–29 ESV
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”
he does and the man is eventually accepts Jesus and is baptized! BTW as we covered last week this Ethiopian was may have been part of the Jewish tribe in Ethiopia that we discussed last week, and viewed a new documentary on in BIble study last week.
who speaks to Philip the first time?
Who speaks the second time?
how did the spirit speak? I propose he spoke as a voice in his mind through his inner spirit where the Holy Spirit dwells. Is that true? well it is consistent with testimony of Christians today that hear the Holy Spirit. we see this same “Spirit said” over an over again in Acts
Acts 10:19 ESV
19 And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
Acts 13:2 ESV
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

First time I heard Gods still small Voice

outside the music room.
went to one of the small music concerts they had for the music students
the young gal at the door took my ticket.
the spirit said “you must talk to her”

What's the Spirit sound like?

There of course no “sound”
but the inner voice will appear to sound like the accent and way the words are phrased are in your own style, like your voice… it is coming from inside your spirit, so the voice “sounds” like your own.

Summary

we are in a continual dialog with the Holy Spirit.
get ready for a major breakthrough in your communication with GOD!

REES HOWELLS -- INTERCESSOR 05 -- THE HOLY GHOST TAKES POSSESSION

"Within an hour, the Third Person of the Godhead has come in. He gave him that word in Heb. 10:19, "Having therefore boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus," and "Immediately," said Rees, "I was transported into another realm, within that sacred veil, where the Father, the Saviour and the Holy Ghost live. There I heard God speaking, to me, and I have lived there ever since. When the Holy Ghost enters, He comes in to 'abide for ever.' To the Blood be the glory!
