OH LORD, LET ME YIELD

O Lord, let me yield,
Mold me to Your will.

Let it flow through me in love
That I might obey You.

Satan has been working hard to try to discredit the Bible.

In John 7:37-38, the Bible says we will have the Holy Spirit like a flowing river out of our innermost beings. Think about that! Can you feel His presence now? John 10:35 tells us “the Scripture cannot be broken,” and 2 Peter 1:20-21 declares “no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.” We don’t get to interpret the meaning of any part of Scripture. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the meaning of Scripture or anything else. When theologians try to figure out Scripture beyond what the Holy Spirit speaks to them, they cause divisions in the church. Much of theology is mere speculation.

SCIENCE

Satan hates the Bible. He has been working hard to try to discredit it. Every branch of science was started by Bible believers, and yet, the devil has distorted science. The devil made rules for science so every scientist is supposed to say God doesn’t do anything. Scientists who openly give glory to God could lose their jobs and be unemployed. The devil has turned science into an anti-God religion. Since the scientists have made a rule that God can’t be the reason for anything, they can use circular reasoning to conclude that God can’t be the reason for anything. In reality, God is the reason for everything. He enforces all the laws of science. The laws of science are orderly. Otherwise, everything would be disorderly. It would be all mixed up, and science would be impossible.

There is a law of science called “The Law of Cause and Effect” that says every effect must have a cause. There is another law of science called “The Second Law of Thermodynamics” that says everything naturally moves toward disorder. Since everything naturally moves toward disorder, scientists should ask what is causing the laws of science. Science that artificially eliminates God has no answer to this question. God reveals that Christ is the One Who is holding everything together. He enforces what we call the laws of science.

SCHOOLS AND MEDIA

The schools and the media have been acting like a lying false prophet for a long, long time, so we must be careful about trusting them. We must obey the Holy Spirit Who tells us to trust the Bible.

THE WORD OF GOD

We can trust what God tells us through the Bible, but we don’t worship the Bible. We worship God. We could get mixed up because so many Scriptures talk about the word of God, and we might think they’re talking about the Bible. When the Bible uses the term “the word of God,” it’s always using language that means God is speaking to us.

How can you have the Holy Spirit flowing like a river out of your innermost being all day every day?

Extra Credit:

By the mid-19th century, naturalism (God doesn’t do anything), materialism (the idea that neither God nor anything spiritual exists), and uniformitarianism (the idea that everything continues from the beginning as it is now, so no creation event or global flood with Noah and the Ark) had become dogmatically held beliefs or assumptions in most scientific fields. The ideas of molecules to humanity evolution and billions of years also became part of the belief system. Some say these are axioms of science that are not to be questioned, and every new observation must be interpreted according to this confirmation bias. Why has this set up a condition where questioning these anti-God assumptions is considered evil and wrong even though these assumptions are nothing but unsupported claims that have no basis in reality?
Since the prevailing assumptions used in science tend to turn science into an anti-God religion, how can Christians reconcile science and faith in a way that honors God without compromising with Satan?
Since the Bible always refers to God speaking when it talks about “God’s word” and most theologians have missed this, what is the distinction between believing the Bible and worshiping God Himself?

NO OBSERVATION OF ANY KIND CONFLICTS WITH THE BIBLE

It’s true that no observation conflicts with the Bible. However, we can’t use the fact that no observation conflicts with the Bible to prove that we can trust the Bible. If you talk to an atheist, the atheist will tell you that you committed a fallacy known as “appeal to ignorance” (or argumentum ad ignorantiam). Those are big words, but it means someone claims that something is true simply because no one proved it false or something is false because no one proved it true.

So, it’s not proof. It’s a pretty good indication, though. The Bible transforms lives. Millions of people have experienced deep personal change through its message. The Bible teaches about God’s love for us and His plan for our lives. People find peace, purpose, and hope by following its teachings. And yet, that doesn’t prove the Bible’s true either. There’s only one way we know we can trust the Bible. We know we can trust what the Bible says because the Holy Spirit tells us we can trust the Bible. If we didn’t know God, we couldn’t know the Bible is true. We know God, and He tells us the Bible is true. Not only that, but He even speaks to us through the Bible.

The Bible is inspired by God. The Bible tells us that Jesus said “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished” in Matthew 5:18. In Luke 24:44, Jesus said, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Jesus also said, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me (John 5:39).

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does “appeal to ignorance” mean?
Can you prove the Bible is true just because no one has proven it wrong?
How does the Bible change people’s lives?
Why can you trust the Bible?
How does the Holy Spirit prove the Bible is true?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God?
Why is it impossible to understand the Bible without first knowing Jesus and receiving this revelation from Him?
How does the Holy Spirit prove the truth of the Bible to believers?

Holy Spirit speaking through the Bible.

Many people think when the Bible talks about “the word of God” it’s talking about the Bible. That’s not true. And yet, the Bible is God’s word. That sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not.

The Bible is the word of God because it’s one of the ways God speaks. While there are many ways God speaks, no other revelation will ever conflict with the Bible. God never conflicts with Himself. For example, Acts 17:11 lets us know we should use the Bible to check if something is true or false. One word of caution. It’s very easy to get confused between our interpretation of Scripture and Scripture itself. Allow the Holy Spirit to correct your deepest preconceptions and interpretations of Scripture. Scripture says if you think you understand anything, you don’t understand it as you ought to understand it. Two words are used in the New Testament: “rhema” and “logos.” The word “rhema” refers to God’s leading whether through the Bible or any other means by which God speaks. The only Scripture where “logos” seems to refer to the Scripture is Mark 7:13, but even that is not explicit. We know this. The Bible never speaks to us without the Holy Spirit speaking through the Bible.

We know the Bible is reliable because the Holy Spirit confirms this fact to us whenever we ask Him about it. Nothing that has been observed in science has ever conflicted with Scripture, but many tricky lies and false ideas have conflicted with Scripture. The same is true of archeology or other areas where humans try to explore reality. Over the years, historical discoveries have consistently confirmed the Bible’s accuracy in describing events, places, and people. Archaeological findings and ancient manuscripts support the Bible’s reliability, showing that it’s not just a collection of stories, but a record of real events. Experts and scientists often present their opinions as if those opinions were facts, and those opinions often conflict with the Bible. Later, we find out the opinions of the scientists and experts were wrong, and then they come up with new wrong opinions and errors. Despite being written thousands of years ago, the Bible is still true today. Nothing real has ever been shown to conflict with the Bible. Some people say they are right to distrust the Bible, but those people don’t know the difference between reality and made-up stuff.

No observation conflicts with the Bible. No divine revelation of any kind conflicts with the Bible. Divine revelation often conflicts with interpretations of the Bible.

Ask God to answer these questions:

When the Bible refers to “the word of God,” how is that different from saying “the word of God” is the Bible?
How has the Holy Spirit shown you the Bible can be trusted?
What do you do when so-called “scientific discoveries,” “theories,” and “expert opinions” conflict with Scripture?
Why does Divine revelation often conflict with interpretations of the Bible?
When the Scripture uses the phrase “the word of God,” what is it talking about?

Bonus questions:

How do you know science or history will never prove the Bible wrong?
Why do some people not trust the Bible?
How could listening to ungodly council and the opinion of godless thinkers distort your thinking?
Since most of what comes through the education systems, news media, and entertainment is godless, what does God tell you right now about those things?

The human mind tries to analyze Scripture. What’s the answer?

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

God speaks through Scripture.

“But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3:14-16)

The human mind tries to analyze Scripture. What’s the answer?

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Ask Him. He will tell you things you didn’t previously know.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” (Psalm 19:1-2)

“Because that which is known of God is revealed among them, for God revealed it to them, for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable.” (Romans 1:19-20)

God speaks through His creation if you listen.

“For you are all able to prophesy one by one, so that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.” (1 Corinthians 14:31)

God speaks through prophecy and ALL can prophesy.

“flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in the heavens.” (Matthew 16:17)

How did Peter know? It wasn’t the brilliance of Peter. A moment later, in Matthew 16:23, Satan spoke through Peter. If we whole-heartedly seek God, God will give us discernment to know the difference.

These are some of the ways God speaks, but God isn’t limited. Open your mind to God. Direct your thoughts toward Him and receiving from Him.

Ask God to answer these questions.
Even today, religious people have the veil of the flesh. For you, how does turning to Christ remove the veil as you read Scripture?
Why is your human mind insufficient for fully understanding Scripture or anything else?
Jeremiah 33:3 encourages you to seek direct communication with God. How do you do this?

OH LORD MAKE ME WHAT YOU’D HAVE ME BE

Oh Lord, I come before You with my humble plea.
I pray You’ll give me strength to do all you ask of me.
In times when I feel all alone I want to see Your face,
And when I struggle, Lord, I ask that I may feel Your grace.

Oh Lord, make me what You’d have me be.
Lord, please break me. Cause my eyes to see.
Take away the doubt that keeps me from You, Lord.
Help me to do what You ask of me.

Sometimes Your way is not the way that I would choose.
And sometimes, Lord, I regret the things that I must lose.
But now I know You’re teaching me to put my trust in You.
Make me strong so I accept the things You want me to.

Oh Lord, make me what You’d have me be.
Lord, please break me. Cause my eyes to see.
Take away the doubt that keeps me from You, Lord.
Help me to do what You ask of me.

God speaks. But how does God speak?

God speaks. But how does God speak? Some people say, “If God speaks at all, God only speaks through the Bible.” That’s not true. And yet, God does speak through the Bible. God speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible. He leads, teaches, and corrects every person who follows Him. Others have said God speaks primarily through the Bible, but the Bible doesn’t say that either. The Bible does say God can’t lie and He’s all-knowing and the Bible was written by Him through people. That means you can trust what God says through the Bible, and no revelation will ever conflict with the Bible. It means the Bible will never conflict with itself. The trouble isn’t with the Bible. The trouble arises with rationalized interpretations of the Bible.

Sometimes, we forget to listen to God, or we don’t believe Him. Sometimes, we forget to follow Him, but His plan is that we would come so close to Him that we never forget. God’s will is that we always stay in His presence listening to His voice and yielding to His power for righteousness.

God speaks to people in various ways, both directly and indirectly. When the Father speaks, He always speaks the Living Word. The Living Word is God, and Jesus Christ is the Living Word. Think about that. Ask God to explain it to you. God speaks through the Holy Spirit Who flows from the Father and Jesus. John 16:13 says, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.” The Holy Spirit is always present. We must learn to seek His presence and yield to His power for righteousness. According to Scripture, here are some of the primary ways God communicates:

Through the Bible (Scripture)
Through Conversations with God
Through the Holy Spirit directly
Through Creation
Through Circumstances
Through People when they are Speaking by the Holy Spirit
Through Visions and Dreams
Through Inner Peace or Conviction
Through Signs and Wonders
Through Conscience or Intuition
Through Angels
Through Prophecy
Through a Word of Wisdom or a Word of Knowledge
Discernment of Spirits
Tongues and Interpretation of Tongues

Ask God to answer these questions:

Some people believe God speaks only through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this belief?
What role does the Holy Spirit play in guiding you into all truth?
How can you make sure you’re staying in God’s presence and yielding to His power for righteousness?
How is Jesus Christ, the Living Word, different from Scripture?
How do different ways God communicates to you like visions, dreams, or prophecy, fit in with what the Bible says?

Bonus questions:

How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God in ways that seem unbiblical?
How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God when the Holy Spirit doesn’t tell you that what they say is true?
How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God in ways that conflict with the way God spoke to you?

I hope someday you’ll join us
And you too will know the Lord.

All who hear His voice.

Just a note: the stories of the past and man-made dogmas are those extra-Biblical ideas that Satan has secretly inserted into the church. They are doctrines and histories that may quote Scripture, but they interpret Scripture using hidden (or not so hidden) assumptions.

Grace and Power

(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)

Yes. Christian Kids are healing the sick in Jesus Name.

You recognized your new identity in Christ and the authority and responsibility God has given you.
You invited God’s presence and stood in God’s Presence listening to His voice.
When you heard God’s leading, faith came and a greater authority came with that faith.
This is the final step or executing the power of grace to solve the problem.

Some people think of grace as forgiveness. A dictionary may say it’s kindness or courtesy. God’s grace is power to do God’s will. Do what God leads you to do by the power of God’s grace. Whenever God leads you in anything, He is giving you authority in that thing. You must pray His words His way as He leads you in the moment. His words will come from your mouth if you can yield yourself to His Spirit. You might even call it prophetic prayer. Receive it from Him and His faith will be in you for the work. He will give you a vision of hope. God’s hope is absolute. It’s not the hope-so hope of the world. It’s an absolute vision of what God intends to do. Don’t try to define what this vision will be like. It may even come in a feeling, a word, or an intuition. Yield yourself to God’s Spirit and the power of His grace to do the healing, and follow the direction He is giving you.

Every time you listen to God’s voice instead of your own carnal mind and yield to His Spirit to do His work His way by His power, you are dying to self and living to Him. The old man dies away, and the New Man comes alive more completely. Think of it as an even exchange: God’s wisdom for your foolishness.

Ask God to answer these questions:

How is God’s grace different from kindness or courtesy?
How do you know when God is leading you to do something?
What does it mean for you to pray God’s words His way?
What is a prophetic prayer?
How can God’s faith be in you for work?

Bonus Questions:

What is a vision of hope?
Why is God’s hope different from the kind of hope the world has?
How can you yield to God’s Spirit?
What does it mean for you to follow the direction God is giving you?

OH HOW I LONG FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD

Refrain:
Oh how I long for the manifestation.
Lord unveil Your glory within.
Zealous to see full-grown sons take their places;
to be free from all sickness and sin.

I pray for thy Kingdom to come Lord.
Baptize with fire, Lord and set me free.
All pride and all ambition I give my life to Thee.
All power and position nail it to the tree.
Daily to self I am dying;
All on the alter I submit to thee.
All knowledge and all learning and all my mastery.
All strongholds in my mind Lord and my theology.

Refrain

I bow in the light of Your glory,
Lord, by Your Spirit, take this flesh from me,
All hate and all my anger all evil memory.
All sickness and all sorrow all pent up misery.
Daily to self I am dying;
All on the alter I submit to thee.
My money and possessions and all my property.
Take all I have of value, I give it willingly.

Refrain

I walk in Your presence and power.
I bring my sacrifice, Lord, unto Thee.
Take all my independence and my autonomy.
Lord bond me to Your body as my identity.
Thy kingdom is precious so precious.
All of my treasures are worthless as can be.
All projects and all programs and all my ministry.
Restore what is of You Lord. Burn off what is of me.

God’s Presence, Leading, and Authority

(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)

1. The first step was to be aware of your identity in Christ and the awesome authority and responsibility you have as one who now has your identity in Christ.

2. Invite God’s Presence. Just ask the Spirit of God to come. You might start by praising God and thanking Him for all that He is doing for you. He inhabits the praises of His people. You have Christ in you all the time, but you also sense God’s Presence getting stronger at times. You sense the flow of His Anointing. His Presence is His Essence. It’s the same as His Glory. It’s Who He Is. He doesn’t always feel the same. Sometimes, you feel like you’re being moved by a warm flowing stream. Sometimes, it’s electric or peaceful or a sense of power. Those are just some examples, but you’ll know it’s Him. When you invite Him, He comes. For now, these moments of surging power may be temporary, but God wants you in His Presence every moment.

3. Look to God for leading in what to pray for, what is the hidden problem, how to pray, or is anything else needed to overcome in the situation. Faith comes by hearing God’s leading. Authority comes with faith. Healing, as with everything else, isn’t done independently of God. This isn’t a New Age Occult method. You are taking your authority and power that you have in Christ under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It’s impossible to know how God will lead in each situation, and God can pinpoint the root cause. The root cause may be physical. It may be an attack by a spirit. It may be an emotional wound. It might be something else that must be removed or changed first.

4. Ask God to show you any strongholds. Ask if demons are involved, and, if so, what would allow a demon to get a foothold: idols, bitterness, anger, negative emotions, unforgiveness, pride, offenses, trauma, etc. First deal with the issue, then the demon, then the healing.

5.The next step will be to allow God to work through you by the power of His grace in you.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean for you to invite God’s Presence?
What is a hidden problem or stronghold?
How does God show you that you have a problem or stronghold?
How can you stay in God’s Presence all the time?
How do you know what God wants you to pray for?

Bonus Questions:

Other than the fruit of the Spirit, are there other ways you can know for certain you’re sensing God’s Presence?
How do demons get a foothold in someone’s life?
Why is it good to deal with an issue as soon you know about it?
How does God show you the root cause of a problem?
