Powerful Word!! Discernment important!! Praise God, Lord Yeshua ! The world, evil Spirits are here also. Stay in the word of God!! I ask God For truth! 🙏 I pray for true friends and ministry partners. ✝️
It speaks to the long season of waiting for direction I've been in and just before watching this I listened to your teaching on how to walk closer with the Holy Spirit and you quoted Isaiah 40:31 "but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." as you read that I was in tears, for I keep hearing this in my heart and Spirit. I believe it was by Gods leading I heard that message then came across this one on your FB page. Thank you for seeking Gods heart towards those He is gathering to you for teaching, guidance, support and encouragement. May Gods continued blessing of wisdom and spiritual understanding be yours.
I am praising the Lord for crossing our paths, and I am so encouraged for you for how He is speaking to you right where you are at! How wonderful; He is so good! Thank you for your heart-warming comment--I am rejoicing with you! 🙌😊💞
Lol wow.. God needs a RU-vid video to "teach" you how to listen to his Holy Spirit wispers. I guess He wanted to speak to you and He failed, so RU-vid to the rescue!
Hi David, thanks for taking the time to comment on this video, and if you’re a believer, welcome to the channel as our brother in Christ! Next time, please take the time to actually watch a video before offering critique on it or the community who watches it-As followers of Christ, let’s all sharpen and encourage one another, building each other up in love. So glad that you are passionate about hearing the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit!
@@herhopemin there's a lot in your video that triggers me personally. I don't really have all the answers Biblicaly. other than maybe Eph 2:2 which says that Satan is at work in the disobedient" which I take as, if Satan puts thoughts in anyone's head, it's the people who aren't saved. I don't believe Satan puts thoughts in my head. and I don''t think God has "tried" to talk to me and I wasn't able to hear Him because another human did't teach me the methods to hear God. God's doesn't fail at what He sets out to do. anyway.. I'm sorry I was just scoffing and was being a hater. I should use constructive criticism instead. thank you for responding kindly in my moment of fleshiness.
I really appreciate your thoughtful reply, thank you. When I read your comment, I was nodding along thinking, “Absolutely true!” to your statement that we don’t need a specific “method” to hear the Lord. Yet the Bible does show there is a learning to discerning his voice, sometimes with the guidance of another person, (1 Sam. 3) sometimes shown to us directly by the Lord (1 Kings 19:9-18), and that there are times He speaks and it is not perceived (Job 33:12-18). Just a few examples. Re: The enemy speaking to Christians: people often lack the discernment to recognize it is external, being spoken to us, as it sounds like a thought. Once they realize the difference, it is key to victory. If you decide to dig into that at some point, my thoughts for you would be: 1. Satan’s weapon against us (believers) is deception, notice what it says about him speaking (Jn. 8:44-47) 2. Yes, Ephesians 2:2 is about non-believers, but four chapters later Paul devotes half the chapter to outlining the effects of the spiritual realm around us on Christians and how to withstand it. If we aren’t susceptible to his weapon of scheming deception, why do we need the armor? 3. If spiritual attack on the mind is not a real thing, why do we need the helmet to protect us? 4. 2 Cor. 10: 3-6-Addresses tearing down strongholds, taking thoughts captive, and who we are waging war against. If our mind can’t be impacted, why have we been given weapons to tear down strongholds and told to take our thoughts captive? I’d be curious to hear more of your stance and story; feel free to email me through our website if you’re comfortable sharing. No pressure. Thank you again for your thoughtful follow-up!
You have such a soothing and comforting voice. You are clearly using the gifts God gave you to spread His word! God bless your channel, I'm sure it will continue to grow ❤
Hello Sis. Bethany!! I wanted to ask you, what are your views about deliverance? I know that it is possible for Christians to be oppressed. But can Christians have and evil spirit in their flesh, that needs to be cast out? This doctrine is very popular these days.
Hi there! This is definitely a hot topic today among the church. And not something I can adequately answer here in a brief comment. But my stance is that yes a Christian can experience any of the following: oppression, strongholds, demonization. I realized this in my early 20's due to my own testimony, and then what I've seen when ministering to others. When I was baptized in the Holy Spirit I received the gift of discernment of spirits, which yes is helpful in discerning spirits and types of spirits in non-believers, but the gifts are for building up the church so I've ministered with it often to help believers as well. Here is a short version of my testimony on this topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nl3rY1PeboA.html
Hi I am new to your channel pleased to meet you I want to know do you have any study books if so please let me know and I am pleased to meet you and you are very helpful thank you
I'm working on a book currently, but I don't have any books published yet. I agree it is such a need! I've been putting together some shorter resources to start linking in my video descriptions. If you'd like me to send you the longer study material I created similar to the resource I put at the end of this video, email me and I'll send a copy to you!
The whole book of Psalms is about praising the Lord. Amen. Thank you sister for answering God’s call to teach in this way , and with love in such a beautiful way so we can understand.❤️
Thank you, that was a wonderful presentation. I do tend to be distracted at the back of the paddock & neglect the aspect of the Holy Spirit 🥺 but you have given some great discipline tools too, thank you 🩷
So interesting! Just subscribed.❤ was journaling with God last week and asked him, I love you Lord, but I can’t discern who is speaking to me…is it you, Jesus? Holy Spirit? Or God the Father? I know all three love me and have a relationship with me but I want to discern who is who. Thanks for your help.
Happy to hear the video was a help to you! I think you’ll find John 12:44-50, and John chapters 14-16 very interesting and helpful too, especially in regards to what it says in common about what Jesus and the Holy Spirit speak. (Ex. John 12:49 is your starting point). Remember though, that it is the Holy Spirit who was sent to be speaking to us now. 💖
He has never spoken to me that i know of. Kind of hard to be led. Childhood severe brain injury. actually died. 8 years old. im incapable of organization. i pray, thank him and repent everyday. i have been rejected in every facet of life including my own family.
Wow, you have quite the story! I'll be praying that the Lord begins to speak to you in new ways, and that he continues to bring healing to you in those areas of rejection.
Are you a born-again Christian, meaning you have surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If so, the Bible shows that he desires to speak to you. Ask him to, and listen for what He says!
