  • Hearing from God | Ep 2

    Hearing from God | Ep 2
    2019/01/10
    In this episode: How we first started to hear the voice of God more clearly How hearing God allows us to follow His will Ministry Background We moved to East Dallas and became missionaries God was challenging us to live a life of radical hospitality and radical transformation There were people in our lives that were not going to come to church, so how do we create an environment of transformation for those folks? As missionaries we had to depend on hearing God’s voice to know what the next steps were. Megan realized she was being called to ministry as well. Prayer Experiences Megan felt the Lord asking her to pick up a pen and start writing Megan started writing down full sentences in her prayer journal during group prayer. As soon as she wrote down her words, someone across the room would say what she had just written down. God was developing a gift of scribing in Megan. From then on, she has heard the voice of God through the writing of her pen. Keith received a clear message from the Lord: Keith wherever you go , has to be totally rooted in orthodox christianity, and totally open to the power of the Holy Spirit, so that you can operate the way I’ve made you. Keith’s internal antenna/knower began to hear the voice of God very clearly and God’s instructions were very specific and clear. Confront the Lie - “I don’t hear from God very much” We want to encourage you, that you hear the voice of God, YOU DO. We have experienced a vibrant, growing, passionate relationship with Jesus through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as he speaks to us daily. Listeners, our ears, hearts, eyes, entire bodies were designed by a God who wants to communicate with us. The Witchdoctor Confronted We had a group over for diner and Megan disappears to go check on the kids and just doesn’t come back. Keith gets concerned and goes to check on Megan. An African woman dressed in tribal clothing and looked like a witch doctor with beads hanging off her clothing and strange relics all over her. This is a hostile situation and we need the Lord’s direction on how to get this witch doctor off of our property. Keith asked the Holy Spirit to lead him. The Spirit led Keith to "bless her in the name of Jesus” . When Keith prayed this she ran off the property. This podcast has been all about the journey that we have been on as we learned to listen to God and be obedient to what He’s asking us to do.

  • Training and Transformation | Ep 3

    Training and Transformation | Ep 3
    2019/01/16
    Get these books: In this episode: The first training Keith went to to learn about spiritual warfare and healing and deliverance How Megan and I were both transformed by that prayer process. Garbage and Rats After being confronted by the witch doctor, which we shared in episode 2, we reached out to our missions agency for help. Dr Charles Kraft was coming to train several of our missionaries As Keith prepared for this training with Dr. Kraft, he read all the required readings and began to be stretched and get excited about the conference. While Keith went to california for the training, Megan stayed behind with the kids. In the beginning of all of this, Megan felt like this was more Keith’s journey than hers. She wasn’t as open and had very limited understanding about all that Keith was learning. At the training: Keith gets to the training in Pasadena with 150 other missionaries from all over the world. Dr. Kraft began to talk about the realities of angels and demons and it being an every day part of life. Dr. Kraft shared about how he directly communicates with demons and that sounded absolutely crazy to Keith. Keith’s world view was begin confronted. The bible did talk about signs and wonders, and the demon possessed man, but the filter on Keith’s mind was that that was what Jesus did back then, not today. Demon’s demystified: The word demon needs to be demystified. There is a reality that demons are dark forces, filled with evil, and we live in a supernatural world. If we are going to talk about angels, resurrection, Christmas, the virgin birth of Jesus, then we have to talk about the reality of evil and how that evil confronts us. The word demon sounds scarier than it actually is. We have more power as children of God than any demonic force on this planet. Garbage and Rats: Dr. Kraft used a tangible picture to help us understand spiritual warfare. Imagine a pile of garbage and rats feasting on that garbage. The garbage represents the things that the enemy uses against us. Dr. Kraft said that if the enemy was going to torment us that he had to have some type of purpose, reason, or permission to do that (the garbage). If we left a pile of garbage on our floor, eventually rats would find it. When a human walks in to the room the rats will scurry and run b/c they know we have more power and authority. If the garbage is left on the floor, and I leave the room, then the rats will eventually come back. So here is how this analogy plays out in our spiritual life: The brokenness, woundedness, and stuff that attracts the rats. This healing prayer model that Dr. Kraft was teaching was showing us that because Christ has been there with us from the beginning, that no matter when in our life that we experienced garbage, that Jesus can come in to that place/experience in our our life and clean up that garbage. Dr. Kraft often quotes that says God knit you together in your mother’s womb and has been there since the beginning. (10:33) That verse teaches us that Christ is always with us so by inviting Jesus in to those broken moments, Jesus cleans up the garbage and takes the food from the rats away, and then we can tell those rats they have to get out and go straight to the cross in Jesus name. This process brings powerful healing. Megan: Dr Kraft taught us how to do healing and deliverance in a way that was healing and gentle and kind and not scary. Holly wood has distorted spiritual warfare in to being something scary but if we operate under the authority we are given in Jesus name it doesn’t have to be scary.

  • The Lie: I Don't Hear From God | Ep 4

    The Lie: I Don't Hear From God | Ep 4
    2019/01/25
    Welcome to episode number 4. In today’s episode we will be talking about the number one lie we believe. The number one lie we believe is that we don’t (or can’t) hear the voice of God. We’ve been praying for people for about 10 years, and the main lie that people hear is: I don’t hear the voice of God. Often, people experience instant insecurity and fear that the prayer won’t work. A conservative christian couple came for prayer at a training event in Dallas. As we talked, they shared that they had been having very direct warfare coming against them. The wife was terrified and exhausted and not sleeping because of tormenting thoughts she was having. The enemy is a liar and was trying to convince her of lies about herself. As you may be reading this or listening to the podcast, you might be hearing lies. We proclaim truth and submit to authority of the trinity, scripture, and we stand on the identity of christ as the priesthood of all believers we can pray on your behalf. As we are sending out this message we are praying that in Jesus name we forbid any work of the enemy or use of lies over any listeners. Keith was coaching a young man who was one of our previous college students who did not believe that he heard the voice of God (we will call him Steve). Keith asked Steve if they could do a little prayer experiment. As Keith prayed, he asked the Lord to bless Steve and anoint him as they talked on the phone. Then Keith asked, "Holy Spirit is there anything you want to show steve?” After waiting a moment, Keith asked Steve what he was sensing or hearing. Steve said, “Yes, I have a situation at work that just came to mind as you asked that.” Keith prayed, “Jesus, would you meet steve in his office.” After a moment, Steve said, "wow that’s cool. I see Jesus walking up to me and my coworker and blessing our relationship/friendship. Then Jesus showed me some brokenness in our relationship, and show me that I can trust him to heal the relationship.” Keith said to Steve, “hey, can I offer an observation? About 90 seconds ago you said that you don’t hear God’s voice very often. Just now as we prayed, what do you think was going on?” Steve stammered a bit and then realized that the short time of prayer was a direct communication from God about a real situation in his life. Steve realized that he was believing the lie that he couldn’t hear from God. God was loving and gently getting Steve’s attention and revealing Himself to Steve in a tangible way. When the enemy lies to us about not being able to hear from God, and we buy in to that lie, the enemy is getting in the way of our freedom. The enemy knows that if he can get us to question our ability to hear God’s voice, then it will keep us from seeking God in that intimate way. We also want to clarify what we mean when we talk about hearing God’s voice. To hear the voice of God doesn’t have to mean that it’s a tangible audible voice. Some people are picture oriented, some are word oriented, some connect with God on nature walks, some connect through songs, throughout the scriptures, and some through writing. When we pray with people, we actually ask the question: What are you sensing as we pray? Often the enemy will try and block your senses so you can’t experience the power of God. When we sense this is happening during a time of prayer, we will ask the Lord to remove any blockages and open up all the senses to receive fully what God has for the person we are praying with. John 10:14-17 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up aga

  • Mission Trip Prayer & Authority | Ep 5

    Mission Trip Prayer & Authority | Ep 5
    2019/02/01
    A brief explanation of spiritual warfare and healing prayer Spiritual Warfare: In closed countries there is an obvious presence of spiritual warfare that may seem different than what you may have experienced in the US. Simply put, Spiritual Warfare is the presence of demonic activity that attacks an individual, group, church, or ministry to try to thwart the work of the Gospel. We can be attacked or tormented by spiritual forces in a real and tangible ways while trying to minister. In many places around the world, people are much more open to this reality than we (westerners) are. At first this may seem unusual or scary, but by biblical standards it is completely normal. “Casting out demons, or exorcism, was a regular and frequent part of the ministry of Jesus, and he taught and commanded his followers to do the same. This command has never been abrogated, and the ministry of deliverance should be even more important today, when the forces of evil are so rampant.”[1] We can see in scripture many examples of the presence of dark forces as well as our need to pray effectively for the dismissal of the presence of evil. Ephesians 6:12- For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. We have to acknowledge the real presence of evil. 2 Corinthians 10:2-4For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.4 For theweapons ofour warfare are not of the flesh but havedivine powerto destroy strongholds. Christ has given us tools/weapons in prayer to destroy the work of the enemy. Luke 10:17-20 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord,even the demons are subject to us in your name!”18 And he said to them,“I saw Satanfall like lightning from heaven.19 Behold, I have given you authorityto tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power ofthe enemy, andnothing shall hurt you. Evil is subject to the name of Jesus. Jesus has given us authority to pray in His name. Mark 1:38-40 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” 39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. Demons were present IN the synagogues. Faithful people and churches can be affected by demons. Mark 3:14-1614 And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach15 and have authority to cast out demons. We (like the disciples) are called to preach AND have authority to cast out demons. 1 John 4:4Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. The underlined portion references the Holy Spirit that is in you. The Holy Spirit power in your is actually more powerful than the evil (demons) that are in this world. Authority Matters In Spiritual Warfare In the Luke 10:17-20 (above), Christ tells His listeners that He is giving them “authority” over all the power of the enemy. This means that there is a spiritual hierarchy that is all under the headship and authority of God through Jesus (Matthew 28:18). Christ has given us authority to pray over physical and spiritual places. Our authority is not limited and is effective when praying for othersas Jesus did.[2] The physical world mirrors the authority of the spiritual realm: Authority in the church: The head pastor has authority in the church andis the leader.[3]In order to honor his/her position, we should only teach or train things that are welcomed or approved by the pastor. This has both physical and spiritual implications. Authority over your hotel room: When entering any hotel room, you can pray for cleansing of the space spiritually. When renting a hotel room, t

  • Inner Children Conversation with Dr. Scott Hamilton | Ep 6

    Inner Children Conversation with Dr. Scott Hamilton | Ep 6
    2019/02/27
    Dr. Scott Hamilton holds a M.Div., from George W. Truett Theological Seminary in Religious Education, a Th.M., from Brite Divinity School in Pastoral Theology and Pastoral Counseling, and a Ph.D., from Walden University in Counseling Psychology. Dr. Hamilton has been my academic advisor at Yellowstone Theological Institute where he is currently a Lecturer in Pastoral Care & Counseling and an Academic Administrator. The first class I took with Dr. Hamilton was entitled Pastoral Care & Conflict. We discussed real life situations amongst the students in order to identify healthy and unhealthy ways of dealing with conflict in the church. During one of the classes, I asked Dr. Hamilton the question “how does spiritual warfare impact conflict in the church?”. Though it wasn’t originally a topic for the class, it led us to have some great after class conversations. I gave Dr. Hamilton some of Dr. Kraft’s books to look over for us to have a frame of reference for our conversation. I asked Dr. Hamilton if he would be willing to help me walk out some of our prayer practices through his tool set and lens as a PhD in counseling psychology. I am keenly aware that we are prayer practitioners and NOT professional counselors and I always want to improve my understanding of scripture and prayer through that perspective.
