we're talking about experiencing God in prayer and
you made a comment a little while
earlier that one of the things you do when you go before the Lord is you
really just
look at Jesus right... now, you've seen Jesus
so do you call up that memory
is that what you mean? Do you ever picture Him?
yeah you can... I've learned, thank Jesus, just kind of the school of the spirit
but there's been even
a visions like I mentioned earlier true
visions that you get taken into that are not trance-like
your conscience is often involved
and so in my earlier years I would start to slip into one of these spiritual
experiences
in my conscious would get so excited I've actually
lost some sometimes, I've gone halfway in and then missed out because I
got so anxious of what's next and then got
so excited to be in a spiritual experience and we don't realize how
delicate the realm of the spirit is... no flesh will enter it. The true deep realms of the
spirit, the flesh does not
dwell there...you start leaning carnally in any form or fashion
doubt, anxious, it will pull you down very quick
I begin to learn...also hunger... what were you saying I wanted to catch the
the latter end of that, that I would, what I could visually still picture from being in it
it was branded in my eyes, I would sit in prayer and meditate upon it
and then it would open back into part B and you could slip back into it I would begin to learn
really amazing dynamic with the Spirit I've learned...and it's sad to say the new ages
light years ahead of us is the body of Christ often
when that's our realm, anything supernatural is
is you know inherently ours they missed turned out for a dark purposes but
a neither here nor there um but I would say yet you can take
past experiences or like I said, if you've not had any
even just how you might imagine Jesus and begin to dwell upon him
you know and in specially being visually wired
how I hear really tends be a gateway for me just to experience Him
and forgive me for for saying things that seem really
redundant, maybe elementary, but I'm trying to help people who have real
questions, when you say dwell upon what does that mean
yeah well, many different things like
remember just
well I won't go into that, but just yesterday I was taken into a different realm of seeing
him just by vision and
I could see reflection in his eyes, I won' t go into the meaning of it, but
I went into a vision of Jesus's face... with my intentions were just loving him
because I love him so much you see
I have heard his voice in so many different topics
meanings, and warnings, and corrections, and love, and whatever it may be
but to me I've come to learn, I don't care what he wants to talk about
I just love him,you know, and his presence has become so
so much everything to me in his voice it's just it's hard to really put in
human words but there is such a weight on it man, there's such a
jelling with him when he speaks, why I'm kinda like any more, talk about whatever
you want, you know of course I'll steward it and
do my best to portray your word how you want to use it for me but just speak
just talk, "man I love you so much"
but yeah, to dwell upon him what I do like I said earlier is
you know, I'll typically just turn my attention to him, sometimes it looks like
seeing
a facet of Jesus often it doesn't end up how I intended like I was just saying this weekend
I was just locked up in prayer, and I was just loving on Jesus
and now to, I want to
make sure there's so many different facets of Jesus, you see in Revelation
John falls as though dead, you know so there's a glorified very sobering
King who is full of authority, but yet John's got his
head on his chest in in the Gospels, very loving you know
lover of our soul, so there's different realms you can see him in for different purposes
purposes and
experiences but typically
you know I'll just, Thanksgiving is really really big...we enter his gates
with Thanksgiving in our hearts
you know I begin to just intertwine within each other seeing
him
thank him... just so thankful for just him
everything in life, whatever it may be mostly he's the most
"thing" I'm thankful for, so it's really him, I can start going into the petty things of life
things like the blessings, I appreciate it, but I'm so thankful for him
just him in my life, and his voice, his presence is everything to me, he is life
you know and so gratitude is massive
I believe for entering into his presence and voice, it really sets you up in a
place
humility which looks like need dependency
you know just realizing like I'm very much helpless without you
if you don't speak to me and guide me today, I'd just assume to not go through it
you know like Moses said, if your glory does not go with us... and so to me what it looks like
is seeing him some people may visually be
a bit hindered and that's okay I like a said already
pointed that out, I tend to see more but you can go off of unction, or sensation, or feeling
meditation is massive in prayer, I think we've also
that's a lost art but internal
dwelling upon, affections, and emotions, thoughts are
really really really big on triggering experiencing God and his voice
so seeing him, being thankful for him, I need you
come upon me, please speak I'm listening
you know whatever it may be, and it really attracts
his presence and voice, you know
well like I said, just the other day I wanted to encounter him on an intimate
level cuz that's another thing I've learned
the bridal realm, there's something about it man
as the bridegroom of Christ that's on an encounter level
at least me personally, that I I don't know that can be trumped
He's king, He's savior, He's Lord, He's friend
He's shepherd, but there's something to do with the bride of Christ
dwelling into the bridegroom, the bridal realm, the whole book is
summed up at the in the spirit and the bride say come and there's just encounters
that blew me away with him in
from that dynamic that's very dominant actually not as men typically
we can't we're relate to that often from a Solos Chrono mindset
It's really astounding so I'm trying to often
experience him or pull from ones I may be familiar with
that often I'd say 9/10 percent of the time direct somewhere else because I
never know where He's gonna go
and that happened this weekend, I saw a reflection in his eyes
I'll just tell you, it's simple, but you could see he was intently looking
upon an axe at the root of a tree you could see it both eyes, the same picture
He was very intently I could see it, i just wanted to be with Jesus
but then I caught, the vision got clearer and I could see the reflection in his eyeballs
and that's Matthew 3:10
I feel like the days we're in...it's very you'll start seeing trees that aren't bearing fruit
too good of fruit, hit the hay here shortly, time is short, the games are
becoming over you know as for the Kingdom of God, it is very serious to Jesus right now
the times we are in
So are ministries start to, and I know that's a different direction but
just so people know that too often his agenda
and where he wants to go with His voice may not be where you intend to start off, but just start off
just focus upon Him
