  • Episode 3: The Interior Senses: How God Speaks to Your Spirit

    Episode 3: The Interior Senses: How God Speaks to Your Spirit
    2026/02/06

    In Episode 1, we explored the Inner Room as a literal, interior space where encounter with God happens. In Episode 2, we unpacked the Imago Dei and the biblical revelation that you are not three parts but three distinct intelligences—spirit, soul, and body—each with its own mind, will, and emotions.

    Today we take the next step: If the spirit is a distinct intelligence, how does it perceive? How does it receive information? How does God speak to it?

    The answer is what the Church Fathers called the interior senses—spiritual capacities of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell that mirror the physical senses but operate in the invisible realm. Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine all taught that the human spirit has these capacities. Scripture confirms it throughout, from Elisha’s servant seeing chariots of fire to Paul’s prayer that “the eyes of your heart may be enlightened.”

    For most Christians, these senses are dormant. We’ve been taught that the only valid way to know God is through the intellect. We’ve prioritized the rational over the experiential, and in doing so, we’ve shut down the very capacities God gave us for encountering Him directly.

    In this episode, we walk through Scripture to see how God engages each of the interior senses, explore why these capacities have atrophied in the Western Church, and offer a practical exercise for awakening interior attention this week.

    The Inner Room isn’t theoretical. Encounter isn’t rare. The senses are already there—waiting to be awakened.

    Peace & Grace,

    Pastor Scot

  • Power Prayer for Freedom from Anger and Rage

    Power Prayer for Freedom from Anger and Rage
    2025/12/16
    I wrote this prayer for a friend trapped in cycles of anger and rage—storms that seemed impossible to quiet on his own. As I prayed, I realized how many others are fighting this same battle, carrying weights of bitterness, unforgiveness, and explosive anger that are destroying their peace, their relationships, and their hearts.If anger has taken root in your life—if rage erupts before you can stop it, if bitterness has poisoned your inner room—this is your power prayer. This prayer walks you through repenting, renouncing demonic footholds, breaking generational curses, and inviting the Holy Spirit to flood every space with His peace and freedom.For those who have never invited Christ in, there’s a section specifically for you to receive Jesus as Savior and begin your journey of transformation. If you’ve already invited Christ in, you’ll move directly into repentance and spiritual warfare.I’ve included an audio prayer so that you can simply press play and come into agreement as you listen. Say “yes and amen” or “I agree” throughout. Let the Holy Spirit do the deep work as you surrender every stronghold to Him.Thanks to Andy Ragle for reading the prayer aloud.With Fire and Ink, Michèle AiméeHere’s the full text of the prayer. Read along.Father God, I come before Your throne today exactly as I am. You see my heart. You see the storms, the rage, the weight I have carried too long. You know my anger, my bitterness, and the fire that has consumed me inside. Lord, I acknowledge today that I cannot do this on my own. I cannot save myself, only You can save me. I cannot quiet this storm by my own willpower. I need You. I surrender everything to You.(For Those Inviting Christ In, Continue Here)Lord Jesus, I need You. I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins so that I could be free—because he whom the Son sets free is free indeed! I believe You rose again to give me new life. Today, I open the door of my heart. Come in, Lord. Reign. Heal. Restore. Transform me from the inside out. Wash me clean in Your blood. Burn away every trace of anger, bitterness, rage, and fear. Be my Savior, my Lord, my refuge, my everything. I give You my heart. I give You my rage, my hurt, and my pain. I give it all to You. I am Yours. Purify me. Free me.(For Those Who Have Already Invited Christ In, Continue Here)Father, I repent. I repent for holding onto anger, rage, bitterness, and unforgiveness. I repent for letting pride, fear, and the illusion of control rule my reactions. Forgive me for letting wrath cloud my heart and identity. I return fully to You.In the name of Jesus, I renounce and cast out every spirit:* Spirit of anger* Spirit of rage* Spirit of wrath* Spirit of bitterness* Spirit of offense* Spirit of unforgiveness* Spirit of control* Spirit of fear hiding underneath anger* Every generational curse of anger, rage, and unforgivenessBy the blood of Jesus, I now:* Break every chain, every root, every generational curse of rage and unforgiveness.* Cancel every agreement I have ever made with these spirits.* Command every evil foothold in my heart, mind, and soul to leave — now! I command them to leave me now—every trace, every root, every residue.* No demons are allowed to squat in my heart or mind.* Every foothold is destroyed.Jesus, fill every space they leave with Your presence. Ignite my heart with Your love, peace, and holy fire. I choose forgiveness. I forgive every person who wounded me, knowingly or unknowingly. I release them from every debt and I forgive them and wipe every debt. They no longer owe me anything. I forgive myself. I let go of every grudge, and I break every chain, in Jesus name. Let mercy, compassion, and freedom burn like fire through my veins.Holy Spirit, sweep through my Inner Room.* Burn away every memory, every thought, every reaction that belongs to anger.* Pour in Your peace that surpasses understanding.* Put me in a bubble of peace and calm that cannot be shaken.* Flood my heart with gentleness, patience, and the calm of Christ in the storm.* Baptize me in Your Spirit.* Let Your fruit become my natural overflow.I declare:* The cycle of anger is broken.* Every generational curse ends now!* My heart, my home, and my relationships are under Your Kingdom rule.* Christ reigns in my inner life.* I am free. I am healed. I am whole.* Fire of God, continue to burn in me until only Your presence remains.In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen! This is a public episode.
