Our growth in God is a matter of awareness. The Holy Spirit desires to interpenetrate us, in such a way that we don’t really know if it is us or Him. We are caught up into an oneness of spirit, that we are aware of God in the words we speak, we are aware of… Continue reading Our awareness of Him

Awareness
Awareness is to see and hear spiritually, to discern the Lord. Developing awareness enables us to bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen, bringing us to the place of living in two realms. In the tabernacle in the wilderness, there was a veil between the Holy Place and the Holiest of All. This… Continue reading Awareness
The unseen realm
Moses understood this realm, as Hebrews 11:27 tells us. HEBREW 11:27 By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. King David also knew and practiced this: PSALMS 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my… Continue reading The unseen realm
The pathway of maturity begins and continues with awareness
JOHN 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. JOHN 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter… Continue reading The pathway of maturity begins and continues with awareness
Days of heaven on earth
Even under the Old Covenant, God promised that we could live our days here on earth as “days of heaven on earth”. DEUTERONOMY 11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon… Continue reading Days of heaven on earth
The importance of awareness
EZEKIEL 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. NUMBERS 24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God,… Continue reading The importance of awareness
Are you aware of Him?
Our singing and our praising the Lord has gone through several phases. God certainly is not a God of ruts. If there is anything that tends to deteriorate, it is the spirit of worship through sameness. The greatest worshipers of all time were men like David, and he was continually giving himself to the invention… Continue reading Are you aware of Him?
We must have enough!
We are becoming a prophetic community. Above that, we are becoming the Father’s family, who have learned to relate together without any religious spirit. No longer must we follow a certain set pattern or responses; we simply love God and open our hearts to Him. We have been shaken by the truth of these simple… Continue reading We must have enough!
Lord, what are you thinking?
We are concerned about being able to walk with immunity, so that nothing that comes against us will be able to touch us. Every ministry should recognize the need for this immunity. How can a true shepherd be concerned about laying up something for his own future, without thinking also about the needs of the… Continue reading Lord, what are you thinking?
How great is your God?
The answer to every problem is found in the Lord. Often that answer comes by a fresh revelation of the Lord rather than by a revelation of the answer itself. Many people come to the Lord for an answer to their problems, when actually their need is not so much for an answer to problems… Continue reading How great is your God?
Always aware
As you read Psalm 84, imagine that you are remembering what took place a long time ago, almost three thousand years ago. It may even have been on a day during the Feast of Tabernacles. Can you picture a man singing this Psalm in Hebrew? He is singing about how wonderful it is to be… Continue reading Always aware
Come alive!
There are some Scriptures which unfold a principle about being alive—totally and wholly alive. Paul recommended in I Thessalonians 5:23 that your whole spirit, soul, and body be sanctified wholly and preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord. This indicates that there are certain areas in your life right now which are dead to… Continue reading Come alive!
Tune in
When Adam fell, the whole human race fell with Him, and the earth was subjected to futility. The reason Adam fell was because he was given a choice, and God knew he would fall, that is why Jesus Christ was crucified before God created the heavens and the earth. The choice Adam was given was… Continue reading Tune in
Our growing awareness
Dear Father, let this word be more than a sermon; let it reveal ourselves to ourselves. O God, search us, but not negatively. Let us behold what we are, a growing organism under the hand of God, a planting of the Lord that is growing and maturing, with all the divine qualities that You have… Continue reading Our growing awareness
Operation alarm clock
The thirteenth chapter of Mark and the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew are difficult to understand, because they seem to bunch together Scriptures that were fulfilled within the course of the generation in which Christ prophesied them, and to also focus upon the generation in which we are living. A two thousand year jump can take… Continue reading Operation alarm clock
Our expanding awareness
… Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. I Corinthians 6:19–20. Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have… Continue reading Our expanding awareness
Gnats
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! Matthew 23:24. This Scripture was addressed to the Pharisees. The tendency of religion is to strain out the gnats and swallow the camel; in other words, to magnify non-essentials. You could swallow a thousand gnats and I doubt whether your health would be… Continue reading Gnats
The perception of the pure
The Lord gives a Word that applies to everyone. Yet sometimes when you hear that Word, you think that it is being directed only to you and that it is exposing you before everyone else. However, it is wrong for you to say, “That Word doesn’t apply to me. It belongs to everyone else.” That… Continue reading The perception of the pure
Awakenings
Reformation has the thought of reforming, rebuilding, or remodelling back to the original pattern or state. The great spiritual reformation of the 16th century restored truths that had been lost, such as justification by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. These were not new truths, they were restored truths. In reality, the reformation that… Continue reading Awakenings
Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Do you have the same experience I have? Often, when I begin to pray my mind wanders. Or, when I start reading the Word, soon I am aware that I’ve been staring at a page for a few minutes; but something has been taking place inside: a deep meditation and communion with the Lord from… Continue reading Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Lift up your eyes to new horizons
“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who… Continue reading Lift up your eyes to new horizons
The big picture
Let us read, in the following Scriptures, something concerning the birthright and our privileges, the position we have in the Lord. Genesis 25:21–34. And Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled together within her;… Continue reading The big picture
Meeting the Lord
There is nothing greater than having a meeting with the Lord, this is what we should be living for. We need to have a meeting with God, every day. Every time we worship, read the word, every time we pray, we should have a meeting with the Lord. There needs to be a hunger in… Continue reading Meeting the Lord
Becoming totally alive
1 Thessalonians 5:21Prove (command continuous, to test, examine, prove, to see whether a thing is genuine or not) all things; hold fast (occurring now, keep firm possession of) that which is good. 22Abstain (command continuous, keep oneself from, separate from-distance oneself) from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify (set apart… Continue reading Becoming totally alive
