Hearing In Your Spirit

2018-06-02 | 🔗
Just as we have physical ears, we have spiritual ears where God speaks to us.Many times, God will speak things that contradict what we see with our eyes. That’s why we have to walk by faith and not by sight.People may tell you that you’ll never get well, circumstances may look like you’ll never get out of debt, never meet the right person, or never accomplish your dreams. But if you listen with your spiritual ears, you’ll hear a voice saying, “Healing is coming. You will lend and not borrow. New doors are about to open.” In a drought, God will talk to you about rain. In lack, He’ll talk to you about abundance. When you feel insignificant, like you’ll never make anything out of your life, He’ll talk to you about greatness.When you get in agreement with God then you will become what He says about you. You will have what He says you’ll have!

Welcome to the dual loose dean, podcast, helpless new to share the message of hope with those all over the world visit Joe, Augustine Dotcom Flash, give hope to give a gift. Today, it's a joy to come in your home. If you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of what? our services. I promise you will make you feel right at home. I like to start with something funny in a hard about this house. Then he was quietly reading the newspaper when his wife snuck up hand in and hit him on the head with frying PAN he's always poor. She said that was for the piece of paper up around in your pocket with Nay Mary Lou on he said. Honey. I was just one of them.
Horses that I'll bet on at the race track. Last week she apologized what about her business two days later hit him on the head. The bigger frying pan, when it to what in the world was that poor? She said your horse just call No spiritual value there, but here we go this. Is my Bible what it says I am have what it says I can do what it says I can do today. We talk. The word of God are boldly confessed. My mind, is alert heart is receptive. I will now be the same in Jesus, nay, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about hearing in your spirit, just as we have physical years. We have spiritual ears, God doesn't speak too out loud. Normally like we, in the movies. He speaks to in our spirit many times
He will speak things that contradict what we with our eyes. Maybe your face an illness, doesn't seem like you'll ever get well here a voice saying your healthy, your whole you're, strong or yours, struggling in your finances, you can't seem to get ahead. You'll hear that voice, saying your blessed, your prosperous you have more than enough. It's just the opposite of what it looks like, but God called you what you are before it happens. When you're sick God calls you whale when you're addicted God cause you're free. When you bear you can't, can see, God calls you a mother in the scripture. Abraham didn't have any children, yet God called him the fog or of many nations. Gideon was insecure, afraid he said God. I can't leave the Israelites come from the poorest.
He saw himself is weak, unqualified, yet God called him. Mighty hero, you will hear things in your spirit that don't make as to your mind, you think I'm not free. I still have this addiction, I'm not blessed jaw. I have these problems, Gideon said I'm not a mighty hero, and the least one in my father's Abraham, set in effect, I'm not a father many nations one child, but you're going to see, come to pass. You have to believe what you, here in your spirit and not what do you say with your eyes? You have to walk back pay and not by saying you're Circumstances may look like you'll, never get we'll, never get out of debt, never meet the right person. If you listen down in your spirit, you a voice saying healing coming
you will land did not moral new doors are about to open favour. Is in your future, don't What you see with your eyes talk you out of what you heard in your spirit God is saying to you what he said to Gideon You are a mighty hero Yolanda, accomplish big things, you're going to go further than you imagine, He's saying to you what he said to Abraham you're going to have those children you go, and I can see Your baby is on the way he say to you what you said today that you want to defeat that giant. Yes, that obstacle is big but you have greatness in you you are anointed equipped in power, he's saying to you what he said to my mother: that cancer is not the in that, this is not your final story, duration is coming. Things are about to turn in your face now quit being discussed it's about what you see and start be.
Encouraged by what you hear that picture says that we see are only temporary, but what we hear what God speaks to us? That's permanent one translation says that they We see are subject to change that sickness may look permanent. The truth is its subject to change. One touch of God favour, suddenly you'll, be well addiction. You ve struggle with four years looks like that. Your destiny don't believe that law is subject to change. You may feel like you're stuck, not being good breaks, not seen any growth stay in faith. It's Dick to change God, has the final say he said the path of the righteous European. Gets brighter and brighter If you listen you're here that voice, saying new levels are coming new opportunities, new
relationships. First, kings chapter! Eighteen, there was a great deal, it. Hadn't reigned in over three and a half years, the crops are dragged the foods. Law was limited, people were worried, they didn't know what they were going to do. The prophet Elijah came along and the king. I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. There wasn't a cloud in the sky everywhere he looked, it was baron no trees, no vegetation. It had been that way for years sure the king thought Elijah this. He is getting to you. You are hearing things, there's no under there's no sound of an abundance of rain. It's just Wait always been, but that's the way God is in a drought. God will talk to you about reign in lack he'll, talk to you bout abundance when you feel insignificant, like you, could never make
you're out of your lie. He'll talk to you about greatness, Put things in your spirit that seem impossible to accomplish. When you're lonely, you don't think you'll ever meet the right person. You'll talk to you about a divine connection he speaks to your spirit about what's coming, but very often it's just opposite of what our circumstances look like. You heard abundance, but all can see his laugh, you heard healing, or you can see a sickness or you. New levels or you can see, is more of the same. The question is, who is report or you one to believe what you saw with your eyes or the rope the Lord, what you heard in your spirits like Elijah, I hear the sound of breakthroughs, the sound the freedom, the sound of healing I hear the sound of new levels.
The sound of abundance, God is about to do, new thing he's going, Exceed your expectations, you may not see any sign of it. Everything the same get ready. The rain is coming. You heard is all the way what I've heard. In my spirit that start my own business all I see is this job, I'm Workin aunt. I must have heard wrong stay incur is is coming your circle. Stances, may say you It's your limits. You ve gone as far as you can just settle there. That's one report if you believe that you'll get stuff, but if you'll tune that out and believe the report of a more balanced, what you hear down in your spirit that will override what you here in the natural. You get an agreement with God, you will become what he says about, maybe your facing
illness, God says by his stripes you or do you believe The report of the Lord and healing is coming for you struggling with an addiction says whom the sun sets worry is free in the believe his report and freedom is coming. What you hear here will override, which you see when the light I heard the sound of an abundance of rain that drought had been going on over three There's no sign of rain. He could have thought I'm keeping this to I'm not going to tell anyone they'll. Think I'm crazy, but Eliza the bonus to announce what he her? He went right. To the kings, and I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. Here's the principal it's not to just believe what you ve heard. You need If you're sick tell someone
On the whole, I will live and knocked they may look at you and take. What do you mean? You saw the medical. Report. There is no sign of you getting better. We we announce it it's the miracle in the motion Your words have creative power. Give life to your faith by speaking it out the scripture says: let them deemed of the Lord say? So, if you will get well say, so you want to break that addiction say. So if you want to accomplish a dream say so There may not be any sign of it, but, like a Niger, you need to announce to people blast free, we're going to have this baby the move into that new house. Arson, is going to do great things? Are you sure I thought your son was off course is London with the wrong crowd getting into trouble. Yes, but that's temporary! subject to change that
what you see with your eyes, but what I heard in Moscow where it is ass for me in my house, we will solve the Lord. It's yours announcing what you her not arrogantly. Like I know it all, but in humility with a quiet confidence that your fate being released. That's what allows God to do great things. I know this couple. They tried for years to have a baby with no success. She went through all the fertility treatment they did their best. The doktor finally told her. There was no chance that she could see and she was getting up there in age, and I thought they had accepted that it wasn't going to work out that way. Maybe they would adopt or try another option, but this lady never changed her mind. She worked in children's department, she, Constantly tellin us winner
My baby, not if, but when she acted like it was for sure, like it was already on the calendar. I like to think of myself a person of faith, somebody that will believe with you, but even I thought you getting to all. It is not going to be possible, but just because people, believe, or even your pasture doesn't believe that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. The experts may say: there's no way, banks, you're, not qualified friends, say your neck, move into that house like Elijah there. May not be a cloud in the sky, and yet you have the boldness to tell people That is not only going to rain, but it's to be an abundance of rain? Don't be surprised if you have some may say but you're, not announcing it to get people to agree with you so they'll encouraging hey! Let
They believe with it as well, that's great when it happens, but that's not the primary reason. You're announcing it to show. God that you believe what you ve heard. And you are announcing it to show the enemy that all The forces of darkness are not going to talk you out of work put in your heart. The enemy doesn't know your thoughts he's not like God. God knows our thoughts before we think there are words before we speak. The God is all we. The enemy only knows what he hears. You saying be careful: what you let come out of your mouth I'll, never get well. I've had this sickness wherever I can't accomplished my dreams, I'll, never break this fiction. You giving him way too much information. You're showing him your doubts, your fears, your weaknesses, but He hears you saying, blessed, I'm healthy.
I am strong. I hear the sound of abundance, the sound a favour, the sound of promotion. All he knows is you're on your way. He cannot keep. You What God has installed Twenty years later, the doctors told this lady We ve never seen this before, but you are pregnant, not with one Maybe you're pregnant with twins today has to healthy children, but I wonder what would have happened if she would have never now still do to go around negative. I'm too old never get any good breaks. Amazement opportunity. She probably wouldn't have seen those twins When you hear yourself say I'm they can see my children. I am free from this addiction. Family is being restored. Those words go right back. Into your own spirit and help you to stay in currency, but if all you here is how bad the drought
how is never going to rain? That negative report is going to keep you from the abundant that belongs to you mean to start not only announcing what God put in your spirit but start thanking God for what you are Thank you that my baby is on the way. Thank you that come on out there. Thank you that I'm free from this addiction they did it new doors are opening. In my career, Elijah was on top of my car he told his assistant to go. Look on the their side of the mountain to see it any sign of late. The young man, came back no Elijah, there's not a cloud in the sky is perfectly clear: it's not going to reign. Elijah didn't get discouraged. He didn't! Thank God. I must have heard you wrong. His attitude was moved by what you see. I know what I've heard
When you know what you ve heard, you won't be upset when circumstances. Don't liner, you won't the score is over a negative medical were poor. You won't give up on a dream because you ve had some set backs like Elijah you're, not move. But what you see you know what God is spoken to you you ve heard is restoring health beckoned to you, you ve heard Whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. You ve heard the spouses coming the favour is coming, the rain is coming, but maybe today you're in a drought, its baron things haven't worked out. Yes, you can hear reign in your spirit, but it's been a long time. There is no sign of it happening. That's the real bad Are you going to? Let what you see talk you out of what you are. Are you going to let circumstances what people say? What hasn't worked out?
convince you to settle where you are give up on what you believe in poor. Now get your passion back stir you faith God did not create you to live in a drought constantly struggling stuck in one level. That is not your destiny. The rain is coming. Promotion is coming, health is coming. The right people are coming, What you heard is on the way, in this assistance, thought Elijah must have missed at this time. Performed some great miracles, but there is no rain inside. It is perfectly clear. I love what alike when the young man told him that it wasn't going to happen instead of accepting it, he told him go back and look again every time he came and said still nothing, no Ray Elijah had him go back, and look again and again and again on this. Means tat. The young man
came and said this time a small cloud starting before he's my point, I was so convinced it was going to happen in of changing his man instead of being talked out of here the young man back until He changed his my god. Speak things to your spirit that contradict what you with your eyes? Don't let people talk you out of it? Instead of you change your mind. Tell them go back. Look again at some point. They're, going to see what God has spoken to you, but the people close to you Those you allow in your inner circle. They need to be for you. You can afford To have doubters nature, years telling you that you can get well the problems too big. You can accomplish your dreams, you'd
destiny is too important to try to convince people what you ve Elijah, didn't debate with the young man. He didn't persuade him he kept sending him away until he finally believe you're going to stay in Faye. You may the sin some people away for a little while you may the distance yourself from that relative that coworker this? always telling you what you can't the com. This is what my father did. He grew up very poor. His parents were cotton farmers, they lost everything, during the great depression. Barely had enough food to eat, he dropped out of high school. Didn't have any future to speak of no sense of purpose. But at the age of seventeen he gave his like to Christ. The first one in his family God put a dream in his heart to become a pastor
He believed one day. Somehow he could touch the world. He told his pair. That he was leaving the farm to go out and minister, these parents were good people, but their vision was limited. They said John, you better, stay here on the farm with us all, you know how to do. Is pick cotton you're going to get out there and fail if he would have taken their advice He would have missed his destiny. He knew what he heard. The problem was that people closest to him couldn't see he loved. His parents. He always treated them with respect, but he didn't. Let them talk him out of what he had heard. I will put things in your spirit that seem too big to accomplish seems impossible. You don't have the resources, the connections, the influence. How could my father thing He could touch the world from that limited environment.
There was no sign of it, not a cloud the sky, no people supporting him but You know what you ve heard and you dont. Let people talked you out of it. Will open doors that no person Kinshasa, hard will make things happen that you could not make happen. The real question, is. Will you have the bonus to believe what you ve heard, even though the syrup stand to say it's not possible. You heard you're going to have a baby, but the medical ports is no way you heard you're going to get your masters degree, but no one in your face It has attended college. You heard your business was going to take all right. Now you can barely Pedro Billows, God puts things our spirit as a c if we dismiss it think. No way that will never happen did it won't take root. But if you do like my father, like the lady with twins like a lion,
say God. I don't see a way, but I know you wouldn't put this in me if you didn't have a way, So Lord. I want to thank you that the rain is coming the faith. He's coming. The healing is coming that you bring the right people cause and things to fall into place, or thank you that you're taking me where I could not go. Oh, you don't have to figure out how it's going to happen. All you have to do is believed This assistance said I Anthea. Little cloud starting before that little cloud turned into a big. And before long there was an abundance of rain just saw what he heard in his spear new.
I do not see how you can accomplish your dream, how you can get well, how you can break that addiction? You know what you ve heard, but there's no sign of it. All it takes is a little class, a little favour, one good break one right person one healing and like a larger, suddenly you will see what you ve heard my father. Saw God open door after door. He and my mother founded Lakewood Daddy, was in the minutes, for over fifty years touching the world when he would go back home, his parents were amazed. They couldn't believe that favour in influence steady hand. They couldn't see it at the time. They didn't think it was in him, but when people are for you don't get discouraged. They may not celebrate you until after the abundance of re. That's, ok, the main thing is: don't let there now keep you from
You ve heard some of the things God puts in your spirit are not going to make sense to other people. You have to be willing to be misunderstood, to be talked about even to be criticised God told no work to build a huge both because it was going to be a great flood. What's interesting, is it had never reigned up to that point. The earth was water from the due on the ground people had never seen rain coming down from the sky. You know what was building this boat, not by the ocean not close to the shores where he could easily put it in. He built it out on dry ground. Wasn't a little fishing boat, God had in build it. Four hundred and fifty feet long, a football field, and I can imagine people walking by shaking their head. No, what you must have lost your mind, building a boat out here in the middle of nowhere. Have you been smoking?
Some of these herbs out in the desert, this far out he was made by ridicule, talked about it's not that different. Today, you're telling me you're going to have a baby, and in twenty years and the medical reports no way you tell him, you're going to touch the whirl and you're a team. You're on a farm with no money, no education, no support tellin me. Your child's gonna do great things and he spends half school year in detention you're telling me the city is gonna, sell you the compact sinner, so you can have church in it. People may not understand they may think you're far out you're, not accepting reality. In one sense is not their fault. They didn't hear what you ve heard
don't expect them to cheer you on. If you had to have them to fulfil your purpose than they would agree with you. If they don't then you don't need their support. You during courage with don't let them talk you out of what you are. The enemy will use Paypal and sometimes people you love and respect to plant, doubt in negativity Are you sure, you're going to get that promotion? There are three more qualified p in front of you. I just don't see it. Maybe in five years No, what are you sure it's going to reign and by the way, what rain and know you'd as good in it and no You're telling me no water, It's going to fall from the sky in flood the earth. No, you need to come back to reality. This never happened before. God is going to put things in your spirit.
They ve, never happen, things that you have family have never see new levels, promotion influence you are coming in through a time will you the sea, unprecedented favour things, can you imagine, but why you're believing forward, don't be surprised. If you misunderstood know what was the talk of the town? go see this crazy guy out building a boat in the middle of nowhere. No one didn't get offended he knew they didn't hear what he heard the upset by the naysayers, people that are not poor you, they can't stop your destiny, just keep announcing what you ve her and keep thinking. That is on the way you do this. I believe and declare what you ve in your spirit is going to override, which you see with your like Noah guards about to do something that you ve, never seen you're coming in to an abundance of favor
