This is such an important topic to me as a minister of the Gospel, because I have seen this too many times: people want to hear from God through people and not for themselves. There should be a balance! God should always be the first One you run to before you run to people for advice. To use people, is just ONE of the methods God uses to speak to you and me. And it is so special when it happens! But make sure it is not the only way you "hear" God for your life! Don't run after events or personal prayer from another - there's so much you are missing out on because God speaks to us in so many ways! This, being just one of them: through wise counsel.

To hear God, is to have a personal relationship with His Holy Spirit. Did you know that God is speaking to you constantly about what you are facing? He never leaves us where we are at! In fact, He even uses your current situation to speak to you, train you for your calling and to prepare you for the great future He planned for you! There is something to learn, to reflect upon, through your circumstance. When things get tough, we want to pray them away, but this is not Biblical! Jesus said we would face troubles but to take heart! The life of a believer is one of prayer! We cannot go through what we're going through successfully, without prayer! Phil 4 says we must pray over everything! This way, we will be ready for anything and we'll be able to hear God in the midst of challenges. Isn't that what we want? We read about the "tent of meeting" in Ex 33:7-11. Did you know that this tent wasn't only for Moses? Anyone could go there and meet with the Lord (verse 7). But the people chose to watch Moses enter the tent, waiting for him to hear on their behalf! What a waste!

All of us want to hear the voice of God. There are many voices raging around us. Our circumstances, family, friends, opinions, advice given, the enemy and even our own thoughts. How do we know it’s God speaking? The only way we’ll know whether something is from God or not, is to know God! Having a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, is the most precious gift. We must know Him, talk with Him, respond to Him. This is how we learn to recognize His voice above all other voices. But the question I am asking you is: Do you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit? Ask Yourself These Questions: Do you acknowledge the Holy Spirit all the time? Do you have “communion”, “fellowship” with Him? ( 2 Cor 13:14 ). Do you know who He is? Is He your Friend? Do you wait on the Holy Spirit to respond? Or do you do your own thing? Do you consult the Holy Spirit every day? Do you have a personal relationship with Holy Spirit? What does it mean to hear God? To hear God means you are walking in the Spirit, meaning, you live a life not to gratify the flesh, but to please God in everything you do. To hear God, means you have relationship with the Holy Spirit. You pray over EVERYTHING and you consult Him, understanding that you cannot do anything without Him. This is what it means, to walk with the Lord. He consumes your life and thoughts. This is how we learn to know His voice above all else. Just like a relationship, trust is built, respect and closeness come as you get to know the other person. In the same way, you have to get to know Holy Spirit as a Person. Learn to trust Him, to honor Him first above all else, spend time with Him. How else would you be able to say you know Him?! How else would you be able to know His voice?

Where does the Jezebel Spirit come from? We call a spirit a Jezebel spirit because of the characteristics of Jezebel in the Bible portrayed in 1 Kings 16-21 . This spirit in her, destroyed people. We learn through this story, how a spirit, if not dealt with, can destroy one's life and affect those around you! This Jezebel spirit is not a "she". Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spirits ( Eph 6:12 ). Whenever you refer to a spirit, it's an "it". They are spirits. Don't give them sexes. Let's speak correctly. These are characteristics when a Jezebel spirit is present in you and you have to deal with it, before looking for it in others. It's the spirit that makes us passive Christians and what does a passive Christian look like: Acting immature, lacking in character, avoiding trials at all cost, don't take correction, lack of discernment. You accept or allow what happens to you without any resistance, never questioning or investigating to see what is behind your situation, you just take it at face value and submissively yield to your circumstances, your emotions and the flesh. There are so many indicators and we need the Holy Spirit to reveal them to us so we can deal with it in Jesus Name.

Everyone Should Pray For The Sick James 5:15 “and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up” For all who believe, will receive! Mark 11:24 Healing is not bound to a “ministry”. Faith is all the qualification you need to receive healing and pray for others for healing! The Key To Answered Prayer 1 John 5:14 AMP “if we ask anything according to His will, (that is, consistent with His plan and purpose,) He hears us” The key to answered prayer is asking according to His will! The key to answered prayer is to pray according to Scripture! Mark 11:24 “whatever things you ask for in prayer (in accordance with God’s will), believe (with confident trust) that you have received them, and they will be given to you.” Praying God’s Will with Faith = Results! Praying for others: Is God leading you to pray a scripture? What is the Holy Spirit leading you to pray? What is God saying? Is it a bloodline curse or something they need to change in their diet? Be obedient even if it doesn’t make sense to you. How To Pray: An attitude of persistence draws God’s attention! Remember the widow in Luke 18? A widow persistently asking a judge for protection against her adversaries. The judge eventually gave the widow what she asked for because she was relentless! To the point of “intolerable annoyance”! This is the kind of faith that draws God’s attention to you! Don’t give up! Keep on knocking! “be unceasing & persistent in every situation” / “be thankful” , then you will see God’s hand move! 1 Thes 5:16-18

Why is Jesus’ Name the Name above all Names? This is the key to using the Name of Jesus correctly – if you understand the authority, you will use it correctly & see results! It is the ONLY Name by which we can be saved and enter Heaven ( Acts 4:12/ John 14:6 ) The messenger of a king here on earth has great influence because he comes as a representative and speaks what the king told him to speak. You are that messenger! You have authority in the Name of Jesus! The King sent you on His behalf! Are you carrying yourself as a child of the King?

The spirit realm is actually more real than what is seen right now. Right now there is a battle around you between angels & demons / good & evil / light & darkness (Eph 6:12). This battle is for souls - darkness wants to destroy as many as they can & light wants to save as many as they can (1 Pet 2:11-12). If you don’t believe that - it will be hard for you to use what we teach you here. But if you believe that there’s an enemy that is real, and his mission is to destroy your life, you will be able to take what we teach you here and use it. Intro: Why Know About Angels? Why teach on angels? Because you aren't using everything God has given you for your troubles here ( John 16:33: "in this world, you will have trouble" ) God has given us many weapons to use for our battles/troubles here: Holy Spirit (resurrection power / anointing / His Presence). Word (filled with promises & answers & direction). Armor (faith / righteousness / peace / truth). Praise & Thanksgiving. Word of our testimony. Blood of Jesus / Name of Jesus (Name above all Names by which they tremble: James 2:19 ) AND Angels Many of your troubles are spiritually rooted - we can't fight it with willpower/flesh. We must learn to fight our battles in the spirit. Angels is a method we use to fight our battles in the spirit - evil spirits are often the reason for your troubles, use angels to fight them! You don't realize it: you've been content with a splash pool when you have the whole ocean behind you. You've been praying, fighting on your own, but the truth is, you have an ocean of angels to make use of behind you! And that's what we're unlocking today! Purpose Of Angels: Angels are NOT here to entertain us, give us experiences, for us to admire them, for us to worship them, for us to chat to or to be our friends.

Everyone wants healing and deliverance, but how many will be able to maintain what they receive? The question is why maintain? Because attacks will come that bring doubt, fear, challenges and temptation. Will you walk in the light of your testimony or go back to old ways and open doors? When the Bible gives conditions to healing, it’s not because God doesn’t want to heal, it’s because those very conditions will help you maintain your breakthrough when attacks come in the form of doubt, fear, sin and more. When doubt comes, are you going to keep your confession or nullify what God did? The great men and women of faith in the Bible maintained what God gave them, and even received more, because they walked with God!

We want to see our prayers answered. Otherwise, what would be the point? God has given us plenty to ensure that we can see the fruit of our prayers. He has given us plenty to see our prayers bear fruit! Types of Prayer for the Types of Situations You have to fight a battle with the right weapon & know how to use it. Sometimes you have to WARFARE , to execute, to attack with force. Sometimes you have to REPENT to feel pain, a change of mind. You must not be the same after repentance. Something has to change within you. This is true repentance. Sometimes you have to do DELIVERANCE , be rescued, released from captivity, slavery, oppression, any restraint, curse, mindset, burden, stronghold, a sin. Sometimes you have to DECLARE, which means to announce, to make clear, no doubt, tell explicitly, promises, scripture, name of Jesus, by faith (as if already done). Sometimes you have to REBUKE to silence, to punish, attack, assignment against your marriage, child, finances, health! The Holy Spirit is the Only One who can show you which type of prayer to pray in a situation! Acknowledge The Holy Spirit Many believers don’t acknowledge the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit = God with us = God in Spirit form = His Presence. Holy Spirit = Person you speak to all day, every day! Holy Spirit = Helper, Teacher, Source of Wisdom, Reveals, Heals, Corrects, Warns, Instructs, Comforter. Holy Spirit should be part of your prayer life, consult Him constantly! Without Holy Spirit, you will not pray effectively! Holy Spirit is the One that shows you the root, scripture to pray, vision, dreams, meaning of visions and dreams. Rom 8:26 “you don’t know what to pray or HOW to pray” . We need the Holy Spirit!
