I listened as the man on the phone shared the years of stress in his relationship with his "jealous" wife. According to him, she was fearful that if he even glanced at a woman, he was going to have an affair with her. I counseled him that both of them needed to go through Prayers that Heal the Heart. He agreed, but said when he suggested it, she backed away. I recommended binding the demons within her so that she was free to make her own decision, without the influence of controlling spirits. He asked, "Can you provide guidance so I know how to do that?" Here is my instruction to him.Read more here.Support the show

How can I enter a Bible story most deeply and experience revelation truth from it?As a small group you may corporately enter the Bible scene, becoming one of the characters, and experiencing it in the first person. A way of doing this is to sit in a small circle holding hands, with eyes closed. You then go around the circle, numerous times, with each person fixing their eyes and hearts on the scene, tuning to the flow of the Holy Spirit and sharing what they are experiencing. Keep your sharing down to 1 - 2 minutes each time around the circle. Read more here.Support the show

In Part 1 of this series, we showed from Scripture that the Holy Spirit within us is sensed as a flow. This can be a flow of thoughts, pictures or emotions.

Grieving the Holy Spirit brings great calamity to a person. Being led by the Spirit of God shows we are sons of God (Rom. 8:14).Why did God become an enemy of Israel?I shall make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His loving kindnesses. For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. In all their affliction, He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them (Isa 63:7-10).Wow! Because Israel rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, God turned Himself into their enemy. What do we learn? Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit!Read more here.Support the show

The Bible emphatically declares that we experience life when we live out of the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit and we are cursed if we trust in our own strength.       "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words (rhemas) that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life (Jn. 6:63).       Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD (Jer. 17:5).These verses really make me passionate to fully understand and embrace His power!Read more here.Support the show

Elon Musk innovates in every area he touches. Musk explains his unique approach, which he calls "First Principles." It begins with the deconstruction of any ideas about the topic that cannot be proven as absolutely true. He then builds up from these. He states that if you are not ultimately required to add at least 10% back in, then you didn't throw away enough during the initial destruction phase.  I wondered if I was using the same or a similar approach when I approached a topic in the Bible, and if that is why I receive new insights in every area I have explored.Read more here: https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/first-principles-applied-christianitySupport the show

I hosted a 20-minute interview with Boris, who has taken about 1500 Russian-speaking people through the full course on Hearing God’s Voice. Here is our exciting conversation!Original blog with video available here.A suggested way you could share the four keys to hearing Gods voice - Weekly meeting design for a 1 hour or 2-hour meeting Greeting – fun chatting as people arriveLesson review 15 min – key points from the assigned video(s) they watched (Can choose to watch 1 or 2 videos per week). Or you can share your Zoom screen and watch a 1 hour video together). It would be best for people to have obtained the books 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice and LEARN 4 Keys workbook). Journaling for 8 min (Quiet journaling time where they complete the assigned journaling questions – assumption being that even though these were assigned to be done before class, people will not have them done) Breakout rooms - 3 people in each room (10 min/person to read their journaling and be affirmed). This creates a trusting family atmosphere, and people gain confidence that they are hearing God’s voice.Main room – people come back to the main group and share testimonies, ask questions, and close with prayer Close the meeting by informing them of the next video lesson and homework.Currently, Boris is running 3 simultaneous 4-key groups.Journaling applicationHearing God's voice is as simple as: 1) quieting down (Ps. 62:1-5), 2) beholding Jesus at my right hand (Ps. 16:8; Acts 2:25), 3) asking for His revelation and tuning to flowing thoughts and flowing pictures (Jn. 7:37-39; Jer. 2:13; 10 pictures), and 4) recording this flow (Hab. 2:1,2; Rev. 1:9-11). I then test it, ensuring it lines up with Scripture (Ps. 1:2; Jn. 10:35; 1 Thess. 5:2) and is affirmed in the hearts of my three spiritual advisors (2 Cor. 13:1; Prov. 11:14).

Having noted that I can pray up to four times (or more) for healing, I have been asked the question, "Why do I need to command the healing more than once? Why isn't once enough?" So since I had never asked God that question, I decided to journal about it. I have noticed that many times not much happens the first time I command a healing, but if I do it immediately again, very often a level of healing occurs, and if I do it again, then an even greater healing is manifest, so...Read more here.Support the show

Question: What could possibly be the value of me saying a prayer, or speaking a confession, or commanding a healing, over and over again? It seems like a waste of time, since my mind heard it the first time. Shouldn't it be enough to pray once then move on to another topic? Is there a reason I should repeat the same thing twice a day?Answer: There is great value in repetition. God often established that a ritual be done both morning and evening (1 Chron. 16:40; 23:30; 2 Chron. 2:4; 13:11; 31:3; Ezra 3:3).They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the LORD, and likewise at evening (1 Chron. 23:30).Read more here.Support the show

Your wife screams, “You never say you love me.” You answer, “That’s not true. I told you I loved you in our marriage vow and if it ever changes, I’ll let you know.”OK, in this example both parties are getting it wrong. For the wife, it would have been better if she could have said, “I feel starved for love and affection. Can you please show you love me by …?”This lets the husband know there is an ache in her heart, a void that needs to be filled, and a specific action he should take to help fill that void.Read more here.Support the show

Question: I have been working through 7 Prayers that Heal the Heart and God has revealed that Masonry is a spirit that is part of my history from my Dad and grandfather who were both Masons.  Do you have any specific things that I need to consider as I work through this issue towards deliverance? Answer:  When Freemasons take their initial vows, they speak several curses over their chest and stomach areas, declaring that if they violate their vows, terrible things may happen to these parts of their bodies. These curses can and do cause problems for their descendants in these areas. Praise God, they can be broken by commanding the curses to be broken in Jesus' Name. You are then likely to feel a pressure lift off you, as I did when I commanded these curses to be gone from me in the name of Jesus.There are a number of prayers you can pray concerning breaking the curses of Freemasonry. They are listed here.Read more here.Support the show

When I wrote my book “Go Natural” we were on the Genesis diet which is a high-carb diet. Today in America, breads have lots of chemicals in them that are outlawed in Europe. In addition, the gluten in U.S. bread is much higher than God designed. Excessive gluten and chemicals are damaging to the walls of our intestines, causing leaky gut syndrome, which is the precipitator of many health problems. Our diet has changed over the years, and we are now on a modified Keto diet, a low-carb diet which we have found to be much healthier. From what I can gather, the Mediterranean Diet is perhaps the healthiest, but since we don’t like many of the foods on the Mediterranean Diet, we have not tried that. Another healthy diet option would be the Paleo diet.Free downloads and other hyperlinks can be accessed through the accompanying blog: https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/our-diets-over-last-40-years-%E2%80%93-which-one-works-youSupport the show

“Healing Soaking Prayer” is defined as coming into Jesus’ presence and experiencing His compassionate, healing and revelatory touch. It is resting in the healing rays of Almighty God (Hab. 3:4). His compassion heals your heart. Compassion is the "carrier wave" upon which ride His healing touch and His revelation. There you can ask for revelation concerning root causes of an infirmity, which once understood are then resolved through prayers of repentance and forgiveness. Read more about soaking here.
