Bill Johnson speaks about how to hear God’s voice and recognize His Presence. Jesus only did and said what He saw the Father do and say. Hearing what God is saying and seeing what He is doing is key to following in Jesus’ footsteps. You are designed to hear God’s voice and recognize His Presence. Often it seems as though He speaks in mystery, but it is never to hide revelation from us, but to draw us closer to Him through dialogue and trust. Bill’s message follows a time of testimonies and prayer for healing of Lyme disease, as well as autism, Aspergers and other conditions. 0:28 Welcome to international guests 3:58 Testimonies of healing of Asperger’s, autism, and Lime disease 9:19 Prayer for healing 14:43 Message: Living aware of God’s Presence and hearing His voice 51:06 Prayer for open eyes and ears to see and hear what God is doing and saying Subscribe for weekly videos: https://bit.ly/bjmYoutube

you learn to see and to feel and to
perceive and I don’t consider myself a

I see but I’m learning just do whatever
you need to do to help me to see but

did good give Mah do something
nice and be
seated Eric’s been reading uh
testimonies of late it’s been really
fascinating to watch as he’s been
reading testimonies of Aspergers
uh autism dyspraxia different uh brain
disorders dysfunctions that have been
healed and he reads testimonies and
every time he does we’ll have people in
the room who have a relative or a friend
with that condition stand and pray and
uh and then we do give you permission in
that moment to use your phone and text
that family member or friend and just
let them know that we prayed
specifically for them and then to let
you know within 24 hours or so if there
was any change and we have seen so many
many dramatic changes absolute
Miracles um in the area of of autism
I’ve only seen one that was instantly
healed generally it’s over a period of
uh at least a few hours if not uh even a
couple days but absolute complete
miraculous turnaround and uh we
celebrate every one of those the stor
it’s just getting longer and longer
every time he does this any place in the
world uh there is incredible reports of
Miracles well two weeks ago yesterday I
was at an event called the sin which is
one of the more how many of you were at
that put your hands up high yes come on
it was how many of you watched on bethl
TV we had like we had I guess over
200,000 people watch on bethl TV which
is is
extraordinary and
um
towards the end of the evening uh I was
backstage and one of the uh gentlemen
involved with the circuit writers
Ministry which is Andy bird and and his
entire team uh asked if IID pray for one
of their staff members who has had uh
limes
disease um 38 years of Affliction the
last 10 years has been mostly in
bed and uh just horribly horribly
Afflicted and uh asked if I would pray
for her so a group of us gathered around
as we began to pray prayed I don’t know
maybe 10 minutes or so we just prayed
for her and we just watched the Holy
Spirit literally just flush it out of
her system and in about 10 minutes or
whatever she was completely completely
healed yeah yeah glory to God for
that they uh they even sent a video of
her running around her pool and counted
it was 5 days after the miracle and just
if you can imagine their adult children
are there uh they were able to witness
the miracle themselves and if if you can
imagine being uh you know in your late
20s early 30s never having seen your mom
ever healthy in her life and all of a
sudden all of that changes and now gives
you permission as a family to live in a
way you’ve never lived before and uh so
we just been besides yourself with joy
for them and after uh I don’t remember
now it was either last Sunday or the
Sunday before no it had to be last
Sunday sorry I wasn’t hear the Sunday
before um I mentioned that lime’s
disease was healed and we prayed I don’t
remember if we prayed for people in the
room I think we did and um and a friend
of mine from Nashville was here Rebecca
Williams and she um sent me this text
after she got home she writes me she
says my friend just text me this morning
she was watching bethl TV last Sunday
night when you got the word about God
healing Lyme disease it’s what it was I
gave the testimony and the testimony of
Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy anytime
you hear a testimony there is a covenant
from God to duplicate the miracle and
it’s important for us to adjust our
thinking to step in line with what God
is doing and uh so uh when I got the
word about healing limes disease uh she
was in the uh Rebecca was in the room
she texted her friend and said she would
stand in for her and and who and her two
girls both her daughters age 8 and 11 of
debilitating limes disease she herself
has almost died from the disease her
girls have been bedridden for days could
not move she was watching on TV when
Rebecca stood up in proxy for them I
recorded the prayers of everyone around
me for her and her two daughters she
said her 11-year-old daughter started
balling because she said she felt God
saw her when she heard the prayers she
started to move her hands and said it
hurt less and less every time she moved
by the end of the service the pain in
both little girls was completely
gone yeah the
next the next morning uh they were doing
jumping jacks with their mother and uh
they uh this gal Sarah text Rebecca that
morning and announced that her girls are
fully recovered they’re going to send us
a video clip of of their healing so I
read this to you because it’s good news
but also there’s somebody watching
online on bethl tv that needs this
miracle we’re we’re just going to open
up the floodgates right now if you have
limes disease or you have a relative or
close friend with that disease stand
right now because we’re going to pray
over you I believe the Lord is going to
release the power of the test testimony
literally two young girls 8 and 11 were
healed simply because the testimony was
declared and they stood in line of that
decree and so what I’m going to ask you
to do is we’re going to pray over you
but as soon as we’re done I want to give
you a moment I want you to text them now
how many of you have the disease in the
room let me see because I want to make
sure we okay those who have their hands
up I want you you that are around them
please notice that these need uh
specific attention themselves all right
somebody way in the back as well all
right and then the rest of these are
standing for friends uh family members
and we’re going to pray I believe we’re
going to see uh this Spirit of infirmity
broken off of people’s lives it is an
illegal assault on government property
it is it is
vandalism it it
is no trespassing and they’re
trespassing and so we’re going to pray
how many of you are ready to join your
faith with these that are standing that
a miracle be released we have seen now
just people standing in prox this is a
new on a new level for us in the last I
would say year uh of God releasing that
Miracle anointing through somebody
standing in proxy we’re going to do that
right now so all of you who are standing
if you’re sitting by somebody please
stand and uh and just maybe get the name
of the person and then I want you just
to join with them join your your faith I
want you to
rebuke those of you that are praying for
those with Lim’s disease in the room I
want you to pray that the presence of
God flushes that out of their system
completely entirely flushes that out of
their system who is standing a proxy for
someone and nobody is standing with you
wave your hand because I want to make
sure we get somebody to
you everybody has somebody okay church
pray up a storm come on let’s go after
this thing break it
off Psalms 107 ver 20 says he sent his
word and healed them
those of you that are standing in proxy
I want you right now declare the word of
the Lord that heals that person you’re
standing in for just declare their name
Gracie is delivered and released from
lime’s disease in the name of Jesus make
that
decree

Affliction that tormenting Spirit we
declare an end to lime’s disease and
these people’s bodies right now in Jesus
mighty
name those of you that are praying for
those that have the Lyme disease in a
room specifically I want you to pray
Holy Spirit come in Mighty presence and
flush it out of their system really I
it’s like a flood would just flood it
and carry the flood waters would carry
it
out it’s it’s a strange picture but I
believe it’s it’s a God
picture thank you
Lord yep thank you thank you
Lord all right just give a moment of
thanks for the testimonies we are about
to hear Lord we give you thanks we honor
you that your word is true your word is
true amen go ahead and and uh find your
places uh those of you that uh stood in
for someone else grab your phone send
them a text and uh just let them know
that we specifically prayed we’ve had
four people healed in the last 15 days
of Lim’s disease we had another one
yesterday another one
yesterday somebody who came in great
distance and uh found out we were having
our in-house family time together and uh
some of our healing team attacked
him and after an hour or so all all
symptoms everything was is gone so thank
you Lord Jesus for that yeah we thank
you we thank
you the key for everything that Jesus
did was that he he did what he saw his
father
do living
aware of a Heavenly
plan a heavenly presence Heavenly
voice Jesus said what he heard his
father say did what he saw his father do
the point was is he chose to live as a
man surrendered to God even though he’s
the Eternal Son of God never stopped
being God he didn’t live from that that
place scripture says he didn’t count
equality with God a thing to be grasp he
didn’t he didn’t grab hold of what was
available for him he chose to live
instead as a man
surrendered and we see examples through
his life that have never been repeated
or rarely repeated throughout any time
in history where there was such well
let’s be honest everyone he prayed for
was
healed That’s Unique right there
everyone he ministered to was always
left in a place where they could make a
decision that would affect
eternity it was that significant he knew
how much to say to one person for
example somebody would come and say what
is truth and he say what is it to
you it was a great time to preach his
great sermon but he chose not to because
he knew when to speak and when not
to person says what is truth Jesus says
what is it to you he quotes a few
commands Jesus says do that and you’ll
be fine what was he doing turning his
attention back to what he already knew
but wasn’t
living he didn’t need new information he
needed to return to what he knew and
Jesus discern that by knowing the voice
of the
father every one of us in this room were
are designed by God to recognize the
presence of God and the voice of God I
consider them two different
manifestations of the same thing the
voice and the presence I hear people say
I don’t hear what God is saying but I
feel it’s is
peace that’s what he’s
saying because his pre he is the word so
his presence speaks but he doesn’t
always speak here he speaks here what we
have to learn to do is adjust and
accommodate that presence that comes to
bring peace because it’s in that
presence that we find the heart for what
we need the courage to
do I I’ve told you before I I get
jealous of Jesus when I see what he did
his his tenderness towards the Father
the the fact that he could know in a
situation a woman comes to him and says
would you heal my daughter and she’s a
syop phenician woman he was sent by the
father to the Jew first not the Gentile
he already instructed his disciples you
know our assignment is to the Jew first
there’s a long biblical reason for that
I’m not going to go into it now it
wasn’t Jesus rejecting the Gentile it
was
timing and the this sarap phenician
woman is before Jesus and she says would
you please heal my daughter he says I
can’t give the children’s bread to dogs
I mean churches have split over less
than that I mean that was that was you
know to refer to you are a dog is not
the most kind thing ever spoken but
please don’t be offended by that because
Jesus will often put a barrier of
offense between you and the Miracle you
want
because the strength needed to overcome
the offense is the strength necessary to
maintain the
miracle the strength needed to overcome
the offense is the actual strength that
is needed to hold on to the miracle and
not lose
it in the mercy of God it’s not because
he hates despises or punishes none of
that is true but he knows what’s needed
and he’s willing to take that position
and offend my mind as Paul Cain I think
was the one who quoted God will offend
your mind to reveal your
heart and he’s done that to probably
most of us I know he’s done it to me
more times than I care to talk
about so he says to the woman I can’t
give the children’s bread to
dogs and the woman says but even the
dogs eat the crumbs from the table that
the children
drop and
Jesus saw faith in her now she can’t get
Faith anywhere but from the father so
how does he know what the father’s
doing he saw faith in
her you need to see this because
sometimes we’re waiting for an external
voice an external impression instead of
seeing something on the countenance of
the person you’re talking
to
I just read a story uh either this
morning or last night I forget which by
Dr about Dr Charles
price he was an extraordinary man he uh
he was actually a pastor down in loai
California and he was a great
orator um he was uh he would he he
wanted to he he would preach against
Miracles and all the stuff that was
going on he would preach against Amy
simple mcferson
and uh and he snuck into one of her
meetings once because he wanted to get
more information to expose her as a
fraud and somebody recognized him I
don’t know if he had one of them big
rubber noses and mustaches and glasses
but he was trying to hide in the back
you know and somebody recognized him
came and told her and she stood up she
says we are so honored today I
understand that Dr Charles price is in
the room now here’s here’s this guy who
preaches against her she just wants to
celebrate the guy you know and and he’s
just is embarrassed to tears and
somebody spots him they lead him up put
him up on the platform he ends up
getting whacked by God he’s laid out as
I understand under the piano forever and
he gets up this Mighty Man of Faith
perhaps the great if you can find the
book it’s an old classic called the real
faith I think the new one uh they
retitled it but that’s the original name
the real Faith it’s probably the
greatest book about faith you’ll you’ll
ever read and but anyway Dr Charles
price was uh uh I I read this little
note about him he was doing a healing
Crusade and the Miracles that would
happen were just absolutely
extraordinary
astounding
and if you’ve ever been in these
meetings you you you pour out your life
and then you end up praying for a couple
hours and there’s just there’s an
exhaustion that if you’ve not done it
you don’t comprehend and he’s at that
point when a woman comes up to him and
says uh I forget who it was a relative a
friend was dying in the hospital could
he come and pray for her well typically
that’s not something you can do just to
be honest with you you just can’t do
there’s not a slot in the day because
the days are usually filled with
everything for this Crusader conference
or whatever and the this story says he
stopped for a
moment and he said yes I’ll come and
when he came he told them she will be
healed we’re not going just to pray
we’re cuz she will be healed and then he
said why so I’ve come to recognize when
I stopped for a moment the spirit of God
his presence his power Came Upon me and
I knew that was the witness he’s done
that before and that was the witness to
me I am being sent because she will be
healed and she was the point was is you
have to know how he manifest to
you you have to know William brandom had
a certain thing that would happen to him
or Roberts I forget what hand it was I
think I think it was his right hand
demonized people wouldn’t come to the
right side of his
body because if they touch the right
hand the demons would manifest why I
don’t know you just work with him he
he’s the mysterious one you know you
don’t you don’t try to control him you
cooperate and that just happens to be
the way that God used him so the point
really is that everybody in this room
you were designed by God to recognize
his voice you were designed by God to
recognize his presence everything about
you sometimes I can feel physically when
he’s come upon me but there are other
times where I can recognize his presence
because of inspired
thought I was in a meeting a couple
weeks ago where during the worship I was
getting so much download I haven’t been
in that zone if you will of Revelation
uh knowledge at that level in a long
time and it happened during the worship
I I had to I I was I was stunned I was
overwhelmed by his presence but it was
because of inspired thought I’m just
trying to mention a few of the kinds of
ways that he shows up to let us know
that he is present that he’s about to do
something for a number of years I would
have
um I would have this this like a fire
this is feeling strange now I’m starting
to feel a little self-conscious so I I
have something else I’m going to I was
going to teach right now I don’t know
what I’m going to do except just feel
self-conscious and just tell you some of
my personal Journey so I think that’ll
have to be good enough for
tonight um I would have this thing
happen where I would feel this fire it’s
like a fire rest on my right shoulder
and I would I wouldn’t tell anybody
about it I that’s not true I told my
personal staff I had three or four
people that work for me and and I would
be sitting there in a C i’ say put your
hand right here and they would and it
would just be hot as could be and and
because this presence fact is coming
there right now this presence would come
and just rest there and I thought this
is weird I in fact I was in a I was in a
banquet once and I’m sitting up in a
front table and I kept moving my face
into the fire because I was trying
to I’m I’m I’m sorry I was just trying
to figure this out you know cuz my right
ears burning my shoulders burning so I
put my face into it then I put back
after the banquet was over somebody in
the table behind me said do you have
problems with your neck we’re we’re
happy to pray for you I started laughing
no I’m sorry this one’s rough to
explain but then it helped me so much
Bob Jones explained to me what that is
he said that’s the dove that
remains if you remember in Jesus’s
baptism says when that when he begins to
manifest in that way it’s because he’s
positioning you with confidence in your
Authority to do
something so what do you do when you
hear a veteran talk to you in that way
you make a mental note I’m not going to
try to imagine it because I don’t want
to try to make something up but I do
want to cooperate if he speaks in a
certain way he speaks in riddles often
I’ve had uh I’ve had great fun trying to
trying to decipher interpret the riddles
of
God I I have it’s been it’s been just f
fascinating to me um how he
speaks sometimes it’s very clear i’ I’ve
had twice he’s woken me up with his
voice there was a a a season where I was
praying a lot about writing I didn’t
have the education to write didn’t have
the training but I had a desire in my
heart and I and at that time I didn’t
have the confidence to even try uh and
unless he told me it was he was in it
and uh I I would approach it differently
today but at that time that’s that was
my understanding and I remember praying
for extended period of time I just if it
God do you want me to write it’s in my
heart to
write and one night middle of the night
he spoke and he woke me up with his
voice and I’ll tell you exactly what he
said he said Isaiah
30:8 that was it I woke up and I thought
that was
clear
and I waited and nothing else
came so when I opened my Bible to Isaiah
30:8 it says now go and
[Laughter]
write all right no more excuses no more
excuses but he speaks that
way and uh I had written my first book I
got buried into conference life and
what’s going on here here thrilled to
pieces with what God’s doing but just a
crazy schedule I got up to where I was
traveling 185 days a year and plus
pastoring and the school and all the
stuff we do and uh and I checked into a
I took a team from here to Texas you’re
all right with just rambling right all
right CU because this is weird so I I
check into a hotel room in Texas I’ve
got maybe 1520 students with me and I
check into the hotel room and the gal
behind the counter says uh you’ve got a
room your room is 308 and I thought
that’s a good caliber of a
rifle my most accurate rifle is a 308 it
for those of you that are into this 90%
of you won’t even know the language I’m
talking but the 10% of you will about to
be
blessed that gun will shoot under
quarter inch groups at 100 yards three
shots Center to Center under a quarter
inch that is
accurate glory to Jesus Jesus so when
when uh when she gave me room three 38 I
thought yep it’s a good caliber of a
rifle and I just laughed it off went to
my room went to the next city 308 I went
this is confirmation I need to go
hunting you
know and then uh that morning I woke up
at
3:08 and I went all
right what’s what’s up I’ve had these
things happen before and I just simply
ask him a question and he speaks but
this time he was silent he was silent
several days later I’m home I’m in my
office and I remember I asked him if I
should write and he said Isaiah 30:8 and
I have just filled my calendar and there
is no time to
write why does he speak in mystery
because then you’ll linger longer in his
presence
why does he speak in mystery because
he’s wanting you to engage in dialogue
what did you mean by this what do you
want with me because of this he’s
wanting the
exchange he’s wanting the sense of
purpose embracing
Journey we are not robots commanded to
fulfill a commission we are people in a
Rel Rel ational journey and it requires
exchange it requires dialogue some
things he’s made clear to me other
things they just remain mystery but
they’ve lingered we had a
situation how many of you have heard the
story of the Road
Runner put your hands up how many have
never heard the story of the Road
Runner or my story of the Road Runner
I’m not talking about the
cartoon how many of you have never okay
all right all right I’m going to I’m
going to this is very strange for me I
want you to know I just watch me squirm
and enjoy it as much as you
can I uh back at the beginning of the
outpouring here we back where the dining
room is here that’s where our prayer
room was we didn’t have this Wing over
here at
all and we’d go in there the dining area
we’d pray before services and I remember
one uh Sunday night I I would like to
get there starts at uh prayer meeting
starts at 5 but I like to get there a
little early I got there I think about
20 to 5 or something and wanted to pray
so I I was walking through praying and
and it has uh glass doors and glass
windows kind of a wall of glass windows
and a Road Runner came up to the window
with a big old lizard in its mouth and
would just dance up against the glass it
hit the glass and come back hit the
glass and I’m standing like this far
away I’ve never seen a Road Runner in my
life now those of you that are from
parts of the country that’s normal you
know I’ve seen them since since I’ve
been in Arizona and so Phoenix uh some
of these places uh down in Texas and
Dallas I saw some but I’m standing this
far away he’s jumping towards the glass
he’s got a lizard in his
mouth and I’m thinking this is too weird
to not be prophetic
this is so strange I hunt I spent a lot
of time outdoors I hunt I fish I’m in
this country I’ve never seen one I’ve
never heard of one seen one and is a
Road Runner in reading and it’s not a
cartoon and I look at him eventually he
goes away and then other people start
coming to the prayer meeting so we’re
walking around praying and and uh I’m
walking around and Don mayor uh walks in
he goes oh the Road Runner’s back and I
look over and there he is again I said
what do you mean back he said he was
here last week I went he came he came to
the per meeting yeah he was here at the
prayer meeting last
week you’re kidding he he he came last
Sunday now he comes tonight yep came to
the prayer
meeting all right so I could hardly wait
till the next week next prayer meeting
same thing he shut up again he didn’t
come to any of my sermons but he came to
prayer
me and he would come to the per and he
would almost always have a big lizard in
his mouth or a big Nightcrawler or
something and he would dance at the
window trying to get in so I would call
all my prophetic friends saying you know
I don’t want to spread this you know I
don’t want any people already think
we’re
weird they accuse me of all kinds of
things talking to the Dead who knows
what
else which I don’t
do
we’ve got this road runner that’s been
coming to our Peay
meetings and they would give me you know
some stories about road runners and
stuff but nothing ever clicked and
finally I found that road runners are
one of the only animals that will kill a
rattlesnake and I thought all right
you’re now my best friend cuz I’m I’m
not a real fan of snakes
especially the kind that can kill you I
we don’t get
along and uh and so a a Road Runner will
actually dance around the snake will
strike it’ll move out of the way use its
Peck to hit the back his Peck or hit the
back of his head and and then kill it
and then eat it he’ll walk around for
days with this long snake out of it out
of its mouth until he just slowly dis
digests the snake I thought well it’s
weird but it works for
me so I thought well snake is devil you
know Road Runner you know is
is good and then I found is’s related to
the
eagle who knew that we started having
our intercessors start praying into it
and doing research for me so they would
quietly send me emails with information
because this went on for
months and banning came to me one one uh
one day he said he said Bill last night
Wednesday night the youth pre-service
prayer the Road Runner came so he would
come to their pray he added their prayer
meeting to his schedule as
well I thought this is so strange I kept
asking God what are you trying to say
because they’ always tried again he’s
already tried again and could never get
in what are you trying to say and I I
had all kinds of interpretations but
none of them satisfied to be honest with
you after this went on for a long time
we started building the prayer housee
over here and if you’ve ever seen out of
one of the windows looking East there’s
a rock that that if you look at us from
from a certain angle it almost looks
like a the beak of an eagle and while
they were building the Road Runner would
go over there and watch them build the
prayer
house I’m just reporting I’m not making
this stuff up I’m not embellishing he
would show he would just stand there and
watch them build the prayer
house so this went on for quite a while
and and um he’s almost become like a
mascot you
know
and one day one of our janitors came to
me crying just really broken and he said
Bill I said what’s up he said I killed
the Road Runner I said what and he he
said this is what happened he says I was
upstairs the Road Runner got in he was
in the building and he was up up
cleaning the upstairs room up there and
uh he said the Road Runner is there and
and uh so I turn on worship music go sit
in the middle of the floor the Road
Runner would come right in front of him
and they they would worship together I
don’t know I’m not saying I’m not saying
he took his wings
and I’m not saying
[Applause]
that is this story weird it is don’t
repeat this cuz you won’t be accurate
just don’t but he yeah no he I’m not
saying he did that but he he would
honestly come right in front of the guy
and they he’d worship for a while then
he’d start feeling bad about not working
so he’d get up in vacuum some more and
then he would just be curious I wonder
if he’d do it again he turn the music on
sit in the middle of the floor the road
come sit right in front of him and
worship some
more
strange and he said I I needed to clean
rest of the building so I went down the
hallway and the Road Runner followed
came down the stairs Road Runner came
down the stairs came down this hallway
out here this wide hallway was walking
along and somebody was in a classroom
and opened the classroom door behind
behind them it spooked the Road Runner
he flew to the end of the hallway into
the plate glass window and
died that’s just that that can’t be the
will of God that’s what I figured so he
told me I says where’d you put him he
says I’ll show he’s out back I said well
you know let’s go raise him from the
dead cuz we this
this this can’t possibly be the will of
God right there’s no dead Road running
in
heaven it it was it’s it was a weird
experience I I know what anointing a
presence
is and I would have all this confidence
as we’ walk towards and I actually
experimented I would get about 8 feet
away and it would
lift it was on me that would live I
prayed anyway because I don’t I don’t
want to just reduce things to what I
discern because I know that I see in
part so I put my two fingers on his
head spoke life the best I knew how and
nothing happened I went to my office I
went you’ve been trying to talk to us
for months and I still don’t get
it what’s what’s up with
this and he spoke to me
he said what I am bringing into the
house has to have a way of being
released from the house or it will die
in the
house what I am bringing into the house
that which God is pouring out upon us
has to be taken out of the house to
people or it will be inbred and die in
the
house he talks in strange
ways but he had my attention for 6
months because there was a bird that
would show
up and it just confused
me but he enjoyed the
dialogue he doesn’t mind confusing you
if you’ll come to him with
questions see the scripture says in
Psalm Proverbs
25:2 it’s the glory of God to conceal a
matter but it’s the Glory of Kings to
search out A matter
do you understand that you are according
to both Peter and the Book of Revelation
you are a royal priesthood you are
royalty our royalty is never more
clearly seen than when we know we have
permission to ask for the Mysteries to
ask for the secrets to ask for the
hidden things he has hidden them for us
not from us
so everything I was going to talk about
just got dumped and I’m just going to
invite you to be a hearer of God in new
ways he talks uniquely he talks
sometimes I see this happen a lot now uh
unusual
coincidences there are times where I’ll
call out a disease and I’ll see three or
four of them sitting right together that
tells me they’re going to be healed
because it’s an unusual
coincidence learn to
recognize the unique things that he
speaks through he speaks
through
riddles unusual
coincidences strange experiences a
burning
bush he turned aside then he heard and
got Clarity the Lord puts these things
all through our life it doesn’t mean
every leaf on the ground has a prophetic
message but if you see the same unique
thing happening over and over again just
ask the question are you trying to talk
to me I’ll mention one more thing and
then we’re going to we’ll pray together
which we’ll end this we’ve we’ve been
here for three or four days already
so some people
who think everything is prophetic they
make me
nervous because they just get weird I
mean somebody’s holding a broom and it’s
prophetic you know somebody’s somebody
drives a Chevy and it’s prophetic and
it’s just it just it hurts my brain I I
don’t want to think that much just leave
me alone I want to drive to the store
without interpreting the road I’m on you
know and and so I’m I am about to step
into their
world that’s my
disclaimer there are times where the
Lord just puts something in front of me
over and over and over again and I tend
to be a little bit on the slow side and
I just had one of those situations in
October of 2003 I have it written in one
of my
journals this will sound rather simple
to you but I for an extended period of
time had constantly run into the number
555 it’d be an address it’d be a license
plate it would be you know I don’t know
maybe a room number of a hotel it just
always something it’s just for a period
of time it was day after day after day
and finally I met this International
healing conference in Minneapolis and I
go to bed well I always go to bed late
in those things and hopefully get a
chance to sleep a little longer in the
morning and I wake up and I look at the
clock and it’s
555 thankfully Benny stayed home on that
trip so I could be out loud and uh and
not wake her so I woke up I looked at
the clock it’s 555 and and I said out
loud what are you trying to tell
me I’m I wanting explanation but that’s
what he wanted from
me he wanted
dialogue he wants me to draw near he
wants me to to enter
conversation he wants me to put on my
royalty hat and ask for ask for
explanation of mysteries the things that
were hidden for me
because they weren’t hidden from
me and I said whatat are you trying to
tell me it’s hard experience to explain
but it was though I was instantly asleep
and he spoke
audible I don’t know how that works I
just know what
happened he said the anointing for the
day of the cancellation of debt is upon
you and then I woke up the anointing for
the day was is as clear as my voice the
anointing for the day of the
cancellation of debt is upon
you I know that whenever
anyone talks about strange things like
this different ways of hearing from God
it gives the weirdest people among us
permission to get
weirder I have to take that risk because
it also gives some people that would
never stop and ask the question what
does this mean I’ll take the risk
because you may have him speak audible
you may have him open an opportunity you
may have him give you a faith for
something there are times where I know
what I’m supposed to do because I’m
looking at three options and I look at
one of the options and out of nowhere I
believe
God I have a faith for
this faith is a gift from God it’s the
product of his
hand
I’m convinced there were times where
Jesus knew what the father was doing
because he KN he had a faith for
something and he looked at the sarap
phenician woman and he saw an unusual
dimension of faith that he’s never seen
even among all the Jews and when he saw
it he knew that was his assignment
that’s what the father’s
doing I want to be good enough in my
perception that I can see faith in
somebody else’s eyes
I don’t mean what they say because we
know enough to say the right
thing a lady came up to me years ago she
said tonight’s my night she’s hooked up
to uh uh some kind of a a pump pumps
directly into her heart I forget how
it’s been so long but I think it was she
could go seven minutes without
medication then she would die it
literally kept her
alive and she walked up to me and she
said I I believe that tonight’s my night
and I I did I I’ve never done this
before my before or since but she’s
standing right here she said I believe
that tonight’s my night I could feel
Faith on her so strong that it was
visible I actually did this I I was a
little embarrassed afterwards I stepped
back and I looked at her head to toe and
toe to head the reason is I wanted every
cell of my being to never forget what I
was now seeing cuz I was seeing
something I had never witnessed before
and that
was faith on her was
tangible and I stood back and I looked
and I wanted to take a moment to let
literally every part of me to become
awake of what was on her because I never
wanted to forget
it I walked up and prayed for she went
on the ground she was there for 20
minutes or
so when she got up I talked to her I
said what’s happening she said there’s a
something to do with with her heart and
the lungs she said there’s this heat in
my in my Chester in the lungs and as she
walked away I said your faith got you
that one she came back the next night
every morning at 7:00 she would change
the bag of medication that was had
electrical pump that would pump into her
heart and changed the bag and she went
to change it and the Lord spoke to her
and said you don’t need that anymore
I me know you got just a few minutes to
find out if you heard from
God I mean it’s it’s either it’s either
I’m Healed or oops I’m here I’m here a
little early you
know so she came that Sunday night and
she’s there I said how are she said she
said I took off the bag of medication I
haven’t had it all day I’m I’m totally I
brought her up had her give testimony to
everyone
it was you learn to see and to feel and
to perceive and I don’t consider myself
a very good Seer at all I hear better
than I see but I’m
learning I’m facing the right direction
right I mean I may need the remedial
reading kind of vision but I’m good just
do whatever you need to do to help me to
see but that’s the journey we’re on and
I want to invite you into another level
of hearing and seeing because he’s in
invited us to do what the father’s doing
and to say what the father is saying why
don’t you
stand that was weird but it was it was
good that was that was
[Applause]
fun I love hearing the stories of people
who hear from God differently like the
story I told you about Charles price he
felt the Holy Spirit coming across his
shoulders I I took a photo of the story
in my my iPad put it in my file because
I I want to come back to that because I
want to I want to recognize how others
perceive him so fire cross the shoulders
I’m
ready thundering voice is
easy now go and write
there’s not much follow-up
conversation you just go and
right but when he
says there’s another road
runner he’s got something in his mouth
I’m bringing a harvest into the house
that you have to be ready to release to
impact the city and the nation or
whatever you gather will
die he spoke
once it took six months of exchange to
find out what he was
saying how many you ready for
that let’s put your hands out let’s
pray the bottom line father is we just
love your voice we love your will
everything about your will is
just it is overwhelmingly wonderful
overwhelmingly
wonderful you’ve declared of yourself
you only do wondrous things it’s all
you’ve ever done is wondrous
things we’re so deeply impacted by the
wondrous
things and we want to be more
connected to what you’re saying and what
you’re
doing I ask that you’d Open the Eyes of
our heart to see in ways we’ve never
seen open our ears to hear in ways we’ve
never
heard that we would perceive more
of your heartbeat in every situation
around
us help us to be more courageous in
hearing from you than we are fearful of
being
wrong help us to be more
courageous in responding to
you than we are afraid of being
wrong help us to demonstrate your
kindness your wonder your
beauty your peace your joy your love
your spirit of breakthrough to person
after person around us I ask for all of
this that Jesus would be
exalted now here’s what I want you to do
I want you to take just maybe two
minutes I want you to pray for yourself
for the next 30-day period if you know
you’re going to a city you’re going to
be with family you’re going to be at
work whatever it might be recall it to
mind bring it before the Lord just say
God I want you to speak to me
here I want you to prepare me for this
I’ll be at work this week I would like
to be a Fountain of Life to people
around me I’m going to be with relatives
that are difficult to get along with
Lord I’d like to come to them with
compassion I’ve never had before just
put it on your lips pray it out loud you
don’t have to be loud but pray it out
have the courage to pray out loud and uh
and then we will uh open you up the
front here
in our own homes
Lord in our own
homes expand our capacity expand our
capacity in fact put your hand hand on
your head again I know we already did it
once but God release the
dreams teach us with the dreams you know
why he gives us strange dreams is so
we’ll stop and have dialogue he wants us
just to draw near with our stuff so Lord
I pray for that I pray that you would
you would you would speak to us in the
night in the night in the night so that
we can draw near yet again to find your
heart and that that you’ve spoken to us
I ask all of this in the name of
Jesus amen amen amen
