On Training Up Children...

Question:  (In reference to videos my son made...)How did you start with him by telling him about God? --Even when we think that they don't understand what we are saying to them?

Reply: If we are excited about God then we are always testifying & pointing to Him; we are laying a foundation that isn't "do as I say, not as I do"--- We are living and proclaiming: "It's true, He lives, He saves, taste and see the Goodness of the Lord!"

Discipline...

"Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

For younger ages and babies simple things like nighttime prayer and prayer before dinner.... if you initiate it, they will eventually join in....even if to just say 'amen'.

Children thrive on expectation...routines and schedules...so if you make the time and start it, then they will fuel it by reminding us.

"Training" is an active discipline, and to do so means that we first discipline ourselves.

Just Talk!...

When they get older.... some of my best moments with the kids are when traveling because they have nothing else to do but sit & think. They ask random questions, talk of 'bullies' at school, events in the news.... whatever the topic, you can educate on the enemy's hand in the matter or see God's glory. It's a great time of dissecting according to the bible....what God thinks about it.... what bad consequences happen and how God loves us and warns us to protect us through His Word. 

I also think of topics to share as well.... or questions to ASK THEM to get their minds churning to draw upon what God's been showing them. When they are my captive audience and 'bored' just about any topic is golden, and asking them what they think or what they know of God and what He'd think... I'm getting them in training to testify as well.

Tertiary Support...

We 'home church'.... but I still send the kids out for other fun things. 

• You could go through a whole summer 'church hopping' Vacation Bible Schools. 
• Concerts, plays, programs, movie night, radio... all things that can back up what you are sharing.

• My boys have all been in AWANA that many churches have which is a scripture memory youth club.  Not only do they study the Word, but they fellowship with other kids & play games etc.  

The Fruit...

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth." Psalm 127:4

You know 'warriors' aren't made without training... and the biggest blessing of committing to train your children up in the Lord is that it's really sharpening you.  It causes us to confess His goodness, declare His truth and faithfulness.

And so it is with most pure gifts... our heart is "the BEST" for our kids... but it is US that receive the blessing...

"How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;

They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:5

What is a 'pet sin'?

It would be something you feed.  

The best way to think about it is a dog begging under the table.  Sometimes it does the cutest thing or whines and you give in and toss a scrap.  You know you shouldn't…it's not the best for him, but you do it because you feel it's showing him love.  But after awhile, the dog is overweight and this misguided show of affection has trained you both into a wicked cycle…the dog expects it now and you feel guilty if you don't give in.

It's that way with how our carnal man sides with demons & the sin.

It takes an 'overhaul' to get out of that rut.  

Do not despair, cycles do take some reprogramming, re-training and actively exercising and walking it out in conforming to Christ Jesus.  Even Paul attests:

"For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate." Romans 7:15

Instead of believing the lie (looking at those begging eyes), you stand confidently and say 'No'… and side with the Word of truth.  If you fall, get back up and continue on.  Eventually, when the pet sin raises it's ugly head you will catch it sooner and sooner... you will go from walking 2 steps with it to immediately recognizing it's initial whimper and call it down.  And one day... you will confidently testify, minister and help others to be free in that area as well!

God Can't Bless Sin

God cannot bless sin.  Approved workman will not be ashamed, amen? 

[2Timothy 2:15  "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."]

Approved... do you know what approved means.... doer, not hearer only. 

[Rom 2:13  "..for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified."
&
James 1:22  "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."]

By this bible is how we are to live.  Our wedding garments being ready is in self examination between our life alongside of the Word of God.  When they don't match I must humble myself... not hold onto 'if it feels good do it'... no, i admit my sin, KNOWING that He will forgive and then I will make a conscious effort to co-labor w/ the Holy Spirit and remove the spots from my wedding attire. 

No, I can't do it on my own... but I cannot expect a victorious life if I don't try.

The problem many are having is that they've deviated for long enough down the path that they CANNOT SEE a way out from their current circumstances.  To come clean before God is a leap of faith.   

*Ex. of widower going to the V.A. using a cane when he didn't need one.
----healing will never come because he's not in a position to rely on God.
Some people get stuck in a wrong relationship because of dependency....if it was biblically rooted it wouldn't be this way... do you really think this isn't a trap of satan?

Do the hard thing.... REPENT.... and then conform to Christ.  Put your life in HIS hands even if you can't see it rt. now.... it's that way on purpose you know.  It's hard this way on purpose you know.... because He wants you to love Him for who He is... for His promises.... will you continue to treat Him as a liar as the rich young ruler... or will you stretch out your arms and die to self?  All the rich young ruler could see was his current situation.... he talked the talk but would NOT walk the walk.... how are you any different?

How wicked and deceitful are our hearts?  And how our flesh is quick to align w/ satan's lies that we are christians, yet we sit here and ignore how to live? 
And they called 'Lord, Lord'....but He said "I never knew you."[Matthew 7:22-23].... Do you think for one moment that you are exempt from this?  are you making history here in a fairy tale book?  or is this book the Words of life eternal?

Old billboard signs w/ layers upon hidden layers.... I want to be one of those digital billboard signs glowing from within w/ His light...and ready to change at a moments notice...
Choose this day whom you will serve!

The Lord gave me a picture this morning... to look and consider 'families'.  I have my family name.... I have family traits... I look like them....
There are a lot of people out there with the label 'christian' on them but throughout the scriptures the Lord warns us that His idea of sonship is different... His idea of who 'family' is, in His kingdom, is different.  His family is honorable and upholds the name.  not hearers only but doers... ones with good fruit to back it up.
At the banquet we must have proper attire to enter in... [Matthew 22:1-14] there are things we must do.... we have the invitation...that's free, but we must be responsible in honoring the name. 

Luke 17:7-10
"Which of you,
having a slave
plowing or tending
sheep, will say to
him when he has
come in from the
field, 'Come
immediately and
sit down to eat'?

"But will he not say
to him, 'Prepare
something for me
to eat, and properly
clothe yourself and
serve me while I
eat and drink; and
afterward you may
eat and drink'?

"He does not thank
the slave because
he did the things
which were
commanded, does
he?

"So you too, when
you do all the things
which are
commanded
say, 'We are
unworthy slaves;
we have done only
that which we ought
to have done.'"

This is a king we are talking about here.  If you show up late or sloppy and if He'd allow you in... He really doesn't have authority does He?  And then everyone could abuse the privilege.  No, the King is in absolute power and if you will not obey, you will be made an example of.... because it's fair.  He's holding up his end of the bargain.... He's written it in blood and it gives those adopted hope.... finally something they can rely on...finally a promise kept it's no wonder they love Him more cuz they realize what they've really been given.

Do you realize what you've been given church? Let's be 'true family'... not just the name, but in all respects.... live it!

Proverbs 31 Bootcamp

The FIRST video I ever made.... before I was ever on YouTube! 

Proverbs 31:10-31 "The Virtuous Wife"
10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
 For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
 And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Longer - Dan Fogelberg - Bible Promises

In this video I wanted to select scripture passages in sequential order that also had some connection with each line in this beautiful song. Enjoy the journey!

DAN FOGELBERG
"Longer"
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral

Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs

We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow

Burning lines in the book of our lives

Though the binding cracks

And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
[Instrumental Interlude]
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you
I am in love with you

Wielding the Word as a Sword - Spiritual Tips 8

What I want to share here today is how to make your own dynamite prayers that are tailored to your situation and better than that... contain power because you allow the Holy Spirit to guide them.

Hi Freedom 1, hearingGod.tv. I just wanted to do a short video so you can learn to use the Word of God like a sword for any circumstance in your life.

Have you ever been passed a prayer that was dynamite? Have you ever been passed one that was 'wow' to your friend, but you didn't get anything out of it? Why?

I want to encourage you to get out of the mode of searching for the 'perfect pill' of a prayer that somebody else has made that worked great for their own specific needs. You have specific needs too. Those times that a prayer is powerful for you are because it lines up with what the Holy Spirit is doing for, in and through you already.

But isn't that like putting a puzzle together? You put all the edge pieces at the perimeter... all the tree pieces in this pile.... the fence pieces in this pile... So, that prayer you may have been passed that was good, may have been in the section you' were working on, but wouldn't you always like to hit the right piece every time?

You spend time with God in prayer, well what have you two been talking about? Let me share something I did...

I was coming under attack by the enemy. I began to ask the Lord to protect me and my family. I know that I need to stand on the promises of protection in the Word of God. So I need to focus on scriptures about 'Protection'. Why focus? Because our authority increases when we believe what we profess.

So I'm using a Topical Bible to hone in on verses about 'Protection'. As I'm reading through them, I'm noting verses that are really speaking to me... and they are speaking to me with that welling conformation in my spirit because it is the Holy Spirit showing me the weapons I need.

The verses noted were:
Psalm 145:20
"The LORD keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy."

Psalm 37:17
"For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous."

Revelations 3:10
"Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."

Deuteronomy 33:27
"The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from before you, And said, 'Destroy!'"

Each one of these verses has powerful truth for my situation, but now I'm going to personalize it so I can speak it for myself.

As I meditated upon the scriptures, I kept seeing the enemy's arms/hands being smashed off, so in putting it all together, this is the Holy Spirit-guided prayer I came up with:

Lord God, I thank you for Your hand upon our household of faith, all we set our hands to and those in our sphere of influence.
Almighty God, through the power of Your Son, Jesus' shed blood, I command that the arms of the enemy be broken and utterly destroyed, for You preserve and uphold us-- the righteous that trust in You.
I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen

Short, sweet and powerful for our need at that time. We all came into agreement and prayed that prayer together as a family. And as a family, we overcame.

Safety in a Multitude of Counselors

Proverbs 11:14 - "In a multitude of counselors there is safety"
The church group I used to hang out with was split all up because the deeper you go into the spirit...the more junk gets purged from your soul & if you hang onto what God hates...the devil steps in under the appearance of God & feeds your flesh.  If you don't line everything up to the word of God as the measuring rod, you can go astray. 

So what happened with our church group stuff...was the group leader was secretly getting people into african money scams that she was deceived into believing were real.  Sure, she had the intent of using some of the money for Godly purposes...but she did everything in secret & didn't counsel with others who would've told her it was a scam...all because she had a root of greed she would not let go of and the devil had a hay-day with her.  Then, after it was exposed she turned and attacked everyone that she should've counseled with....also remember the bible talks about 'you will know them by their fruits'.  So, this was the proof of her 'bad fruit'...her pride, her deception.  She had been listening to the devils voice & bated by a root of greed for so long that she turned to attack instead of accept reprove, correction or anything that would align with the bible.

Go to the Source - The Bible

Seeking Person's Letter:
"George" read an Anne Rice book and the idea in there sounds very reasonable as well but then it makes me question the devil's 'job'. It was that the bad people that go to hell basically go to 'school' to learn about what they did to everyone else that made them go to hell. Then after all of the years going to Satan School if they learned from their mistakes God would accept them. Now that sounds right and makes sense except for one thing....if the devil is helping out then why the hell does everyone say that the devil wants to pull you in and he's bad and everything? I don't get it! Basically bad people go to satan and good people go to hell but what does satan have to do with anything? He sound to me like a disciplinarian. Is that bad? I don't know anymore....Please tell me what it all means.

hearingGod's Reply Letter:
The only way to know God's opinion about stuff is in the bible. Any other
interpretation of anything biblical is subject to demonic
influence...that goes with Anne Rice stuff...that even goes with a pastor preaching at the pulpit. It's because

man is a filter. God teaches me the greatest things when

I simply ask Him 'what's up with this or that?' --
and then ask Him to reveal the answers to me through the bible. Then
sometimes I still don't 'get it', with what He's saying in the
bible...but that's where the Holy Spirit comes in & shows me the
answer through dropping stuff in my path through everyday life &
songs & things. But the bible is always the source. Even looking up
stuff on the internet & typing in the subject of my question & then
adding the word 'scripture' ...I come across all kinds of bible
'teachings' that are 'false'. It's like; so what....add some
scripture to a bogus teaching that's full of evil, and people believe
it's 'accurate'. I can spot these things because of the Holy Spirit
confirming it within me. That's why the baptism of the Holy Spirit is
important...because it's inviting God inside to teach you. Occult
people invite the demonic spirits inside themselves to learn hidden
things...the baptism of the spirit is the opposite. It's really
simple...the problem is, is that the devil sneaks into the teachings
of man & perverts everything so it brings tons of confusion & twists
things to get man to attack religion & use religion as a weapon.
That's why the bible is so important, because it's not tainted.
(Granted there are some versions of the bible that have been
manipulated & the meanings changed a bit--most of those
have been widely exposed), but even with that,... with the
Holy Spirit inside...God shows us when something is false &
encourages us to look for the good signs or 'fruits' that prove it's
worth.

So...like I suggested before...start with the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke &
John) & then go through to the end of the book. Then, begin to ask God
where to read...even flip thru the pages & point your finger with your
eyes shut. If you really want to know...He'll reveal stuff to
you...and sometimes in the most amazing ways. He's even put
reflections of a heart on the wall for me when I've been sad. Other
people might think it was a coincidence, but because I was praying &
asking for help...the meaning was clear to me.

Gaining Faith by Believing the Word of God

Seeking Christian's Letter:
How do you use the shield of faith, is there a prayer?? I could really use this!! Did 'Linda' tell you about the horrible thoughts that run through my head or was this voice just from me???
fyi 'Bob's' aunt comitted suicide today :'(

hearingGod's Reply Letter:

Yes, these thoughts are not from you...think about it, the bible says :
Romans 8
1"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

So, these thoughts you have are awful, they are condemning...you hate them...you think they are you & therefore you think you are a bad person....but that is not the case. You need to have FAITH (which you know)...and the bible says:
Romans 10:17
17"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ."

So the 'word' of Christ is the bible. You HAVE to read the bible to make it through this. Do not rely on the counsel of anyone that doesn't read it regularly. I love 'Linda' but she doesn't read it. People that don't 'know' Jesus inside & out can be baited by the enemy and say things like: "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."
However we don't want our flesh patted... we need His truth, not to stumble!
"But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

Unfortunately for 'Bob's' aunt...she became another victim of 'the voices'. When a person believes it is themselves, they become a puppet. Columbine, Virginia tech....demon possessed people--yes there were christians there in the region but, remember I said there are a lot of 'churches' out there....but they have no authority in the spirit. How do we know? By the fruits. Are they doing what the disciples did... the things that Jesus said would accompany those who believe? (Mark 16-17)
When you read the word, believe the word...you can do the same amazing things Jesus did, and more:
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father." (John 14:12)

Why don't we SEE these amazing things??? Because people don't BELIEVE....are listening to 'the voices'. Disaster & all sorts of stuff is averted by 'sons of God'....those wielding the authority of Christ (check out Luke 9).

It all starts in the mind....
