- Meditation to Connect You to Live from God's Love
Listen to the Meditation to Connect You to Live from God's Love here. (17 minutes) Full transcript below. The purpose of our time together today is to expand your ability to encounter and interface with God. We want to see ourselves as God sees us. We have a portal inside of us, our spirit man. Our spirit man is already linked to heaven. Our journey is to increasingly access heaven by learning to focus and receive from what our spirit man has access to. We are going to access that inner door today. Deliberately help your mind to calm down by focusing on your breath and breathing. —in and out through your nose. Nice and slow. Give your busy little brain a vacation right now. It is not needed for what we are doing this morning. Allow the thought of being loved and accepted, cared for and affirmed by your loving heavenly Father, to wash over you. Soak it up like a sponge. Open yourself up to feel the compassion He has for you. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” You have a door deep inside you. Picture it (pause) and choose to open it. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are standing at the door. Choose to open your door and invite them in. Say aloud, Please come in. You are welcome here.” Immediately, a river of love begins to flow in you, through you, around you. Be immersed in the Spirit’s love. See Jesus and the Father hugging you. They are putting their arms around you. You sink deeper into love’s embrace. You begin to feel cocooned, safe, resting in God’s arms of love. Drink in that life giving stream of the Spirit’s pure love. You are beginning to feel full to overflowing with being loved. That love fills your mind, your emotions and your will. You begin to relax. Surrendering to God’s will feels effortless from this place of rest as you let go of anything except being loved. Worries, cares, busyness. It all gets washed away by this living stream of love. His love flows down over your body. Your head, your neck, your chest and arms, your torso and legs. All the way to your toes. Wiggle your toes as they absorb that love. Now release all that love so it can create an atmosphere, a sphere, of love all around you. Now direct it to all the different areas of your life-family, relationships, work, everywhere. You are loved. You can rest. Keep relaxing. Begin to think of someone or something you are thankful for. Release your gratitude. say aloud “Thank you for ______." Think of someone who has been kind to you or blessed you. “Thank you.” Be grateful you are alive. Thank God for His love. Thank Jesus for His wanting to be with you. Thank Holy Spirit for His constant help. “Thank you, Holy Spirit.” This will begin to fill you with joy and saturate you. Feel the joy flowing over and down your whole body. Release this joy and let it fill your atmosphere. As you rest in this love and joy say yes to the Father. Aloud, “YES" Think of someone who has hurt you. Say yes to forgiving them. “I forgive you.” Think of someone you have hurt. Say yes to, “I’m sorry." Rest and surrender to Jesus as He interacts with your deepest self. Meditate on God’s desire for you. He knows everything about you. He wants the very best for you. For you to be whole. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts of me, oh God! How vast is the sum of them! Now His amazing thoughts about you start to flow around your mind. His truth is beginning to penetrate any strong holds and lies. His thoughts are beginning to change and align your thoughts to His thoughts. Knowing you are loved and accepted, start to think about and say to the Lord: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. Ask Him to search and reveal any anxious thoughts or sinful ways. Ask the Father to deal with anything that will hinder you fulfilling your destiny today. Ask the Father to reveal the desires of His heart to you. You don’t have to fix yourself. Relinquishing control to Him, surrendering to His love, is transforming you. Think about Romans 12:2. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Invite God to lead you in the process of having your mind renewed and conformed to His thoughts and perceptions. Here is a prayer you can say daily to help with the renewing of your mind. Think about your upcoming day and rest knowing you are intimately connected to God who is ultimate love and friendship. Chose to accept your destiny. Relax and feel the joy and pleasure of the Father’s heart. Your destiny today is filled with love, joy and peace. Look at your day from rest. Look at yourself as He does: honored, wanted, celebrated, approved of and cherished. Visualize being blessed to be fruitful, successful and fulfilled at home, at work and in every area of life. Everywhere you go, grace and mercy go before you. Hear the Father’s word of affirmation: “You are my beloved son; you are my beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased in whom my soul delights.” Say aloud: I am His beloved child. I am already a success. I am already blessed.Feel the pleasure of the Father’s heart for you and for your destiny today.“Father, you saw me in my mother’s womb. Holy Spirit you hovered over my unformed substance. And in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me.” Feel the light of love energizing you.Feel the energy and power of God’s presence pulsating within you. You are joined to the Lord and one spirit with Him You are the house of God and He lives in you. You are His gateway of bringing heaven to earth. Feel and sense the abundance of life within you. Be at rest, fulfilled and contented, being filled with love, joy and peace. Release the flow of abundant life as a river flowing from your innermost being into the world around you. Say out loud: I embrace the light of love energizing me. I accept the energy and power of God’s presence pulsating within me. I am joined to the Lord and one spirit with Him. I am the house of God and He lives in me. I am His gateway of bringing heaven to earth. I choose to tune into the abundance of life within me. I choose to rest, fulfilled and contented, connected to the love, joy and peace already within me through Christ. I choose to release the flow of abundant life as a river flowing from my innermost being into the world around me “. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, in me, in my territory, as it is in heaven. In Jesus name, Amen.”

- Encounter with Big Jesus
I recently had this encounter that I thought I would share: I went up to the throne room and sat on the Father's lap. After a short while, He said, "Why don't you go and see Jesus?" So, I hopped down and went to look for Jesus. He was nearby. I walked up to Him, and He said, "Would you like to play hide and seek?" I said, "No, I want to stay with You." He said, "How about if we go fishing?" We walked to a small stream. It had big, fat fish in it. They had bright, rainbow patterns on their sides. We sat side by side, very much like a father and a young son. I was troubled because I had recently made an alliance with three very large angels. They were nice and easy to be with, but the energy coming off them was very intense. And I was having trouble staying balanced around them. I told Jesus my problem and He said, "Do you want to see how big I am?" I said, "Yes." And He got bigger and bigger and bigger until He started to fill a large portion of outer space. At one point, He cried out in a loud voice, "I am God." He encouraged me later to see Him in His bigness when I pray. Later on reflection, I could see that even though my theology has always been that He is equally God with the Triune, with the Trinity. But in my heart, I had made Him to be the nice man and the chosen with magic powers. This is somewhat overstating, but not much. So now I am in my own childlike way, calling Him Big Jesus to help remind me who I'm praying to. Two nights went by, and I woke up around five o'clock in the morning. I wanted to get an angel who has been with me for 16 years and has come to be a dear friend, a Christmas present. What do you buy an angel for Christmas? Socks? An idea came to my mind: ask Big Jesus to give him a Big Jesus Christmas present. That felt so good that I started to ask Him for all the angels and loved ones for the same thing, a Big Jesus Christmas present. I feel that Jesus liked that, and He smiled. I thought that some of you might want to ask the same thing for your angels and loved ones. When I pray like that, I see Jesus filling up a huge space and I connect to Him in that way.

- Godly Use of Desire and Ambition | Firehouse Ministries
The Godly Use of Desire and Ambition The Lion and the Steak Exercise by Richard Kinney Lesson 5: School of the Lion The Godly Use of Desire and Ambition The Lion and the Steak Exercise by Richard Kinney How can desire be helpful in our lives? How can it assist in helping us to change? Desire can drive us to do things we really don’t want to do. That is what it takes for us to change, an intense desire for things to be different in our lives. Unfortunately, the traditional attitude in the Christian church concerning desire and ambition has gotten a bad rap in the Christian church, people have been led to believe they should be ashamed if they have desire or ambition. Desire is God given. A child has desires of different things he wants to be. It helps us to accomplish things. Especially if unpleasant. Desire and passion are helpful and shouldn’t be discouraged.

- The Way of the Christian Warrior | Firehouse Ministries
The Way of the Christian Warrior by Richard Kinney Lesson 2: School of the Lion The Way of the Christian Warrior by Richard Kinney A warrior is able to turn a battle around to a time of promotion. We can get roughed up in the battles of life, but victory is assured. We have already won. The devil and company will be defeated. No matter how bitter the battle, we win. A soldier is not surprised if they get hurt or inconvenienced. But what does the enemy try to con us into believing? The enemy is always trying to con us into believing we are weak and have lost. How can moments of seeming defeat be an opportunity for promotion. Part of it is that the Lion of Christ inhabits the Lamb of our vulnerability and sacrifice in our lives. When your challenging moment comes, you can choose to face it and win, or you can choose to walk away and lose. It is a day where you have a unique opportunity to move forward.
