Jesus Sets the Pattern for Living Out of Divine Initiative

We are to live and walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:25). Jesus models this lifestyle for us. Let's see how He does it!

Jesus tells us over and over HOW He lives, making sure we GET IT.
Constant repetition means Jesus is saying to us: "This is important.

This is the way I live. This is the way you are to live. Imitate Me."
1. Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. (Jn. 14:10)
2. Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel." (Jn. 5:19-20)
3. I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. (Jn. 5:30)
4. I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world. (Jn. 8:26)
5. He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him. (Jn. 8:29)
6. I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father. (Jn. 8:38)
7. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. (Jn. 8:42)
8. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father. (Jn. 10:18)
9. That you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. (Jn. 10:38)
10. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. (Jn. 12:49)
11. So that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. (Jn. 14:31)

Jesus makes the Spirit-anointed lifestyle available for us to live!
1. I hear God's voice: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish (Jn. 10:27-28)
2. I see God's vision: 'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;(Act 2:17)
3. I am led by God's Spirit to the truth: "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. (Joh 16:13)
4. I walk and live by the Spirit: If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. (Gal. 5:25)
5. Four keys to hearing God's voice: www.CWGministries.org/4keys
6. Energeo - the energizing of the Spirit: www.CWGministries.org/ReleaseDivineEnergy
7. The worthlessness of anything done without the Spirit: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. (Jn. 6:63 & Heb. 6:1 - REPENT from DEAD works)

How to Overcome Your Trouble Seeing and Hearing God: Connect in His Language by Dr. Patty Sadallah

Dr. Patty Sadallah has offered us some great examples of simple "training wheels" for identifying and using the eyes and ears of our hearts. Below are excerpts from Patty’s full article (with a few inserts from Dr. Mark Virkler).
• The eyes of our hearts allow us to see pictures on the screen inside our minds.
• The ears of our hearts allow us to hear the inner dialogue that takes place in our heads.
________________________________________
To surrender your spiritual senses to allow God to communicate with you is to sanctify your imagination. The degree of clarity of seeing and hearing you experience in these exercises is similar to those when you encounter Jesus in journaling. It’s totally normal! The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.

Heart Faculties Do Function Easily and Normally: Three Simple Tests to Prove it
1. Eyes: Your kitchen sink and refrigerator: Let’s practice using these spiritual senses right now. Here are three simple tests to prove how normal it is for you to use the senses of your heart. First, close your eyes and imagine your kitchen. Look around the screen of your mind. Walk up to your sink and turn it on. Touch the water, feel the temperature of the water, and then shut it off. And then go over to your fridge and open it. Do you feel the blast of cold? Examine the contents of your fridge. Were you able to do that? You just used the eyes of your heart. When Jesus is giving you visions, it is the same inner experience, other than the visions are being prompted by the flow of His Spirit within, and not me painting a picture for you to look at. Don’t miss how simple vision is by making it something harder than this!

2. Ears: Now close your eyes and sing Happy Birthday in your mind. Could you hear yourself singing in your mind? You just used the ears of your heart. When Jesus is speaking to your heart it is the same inner experience, except He is talking. A big reason people miss hearing His voice is that they make it harder or different than this experience.

3. Guided images: Now, this time, keep your eyes open. Imagine that you are holding an orange. Is the skin thick or thin? OK. Now, imagine that you are cutting the orange in half, and putting the orange up to your nose, do you smell it? Now squeeze the orange and touch a bit of juice to your tongue in your imagination. If you were able to experience any of these senses, you were able to surrender your imagination to my suggestion. Connecting with God is no different; you are simply inviting God to engage with you through those senses.

In two-way journaling, you are asking Jesus to show you things using the eyes of your heart and speak to you through the ears of your heart. The Holy Spirit who is joined to your spirit (1 Cor. 6:17) fills these senses with revelation from Jesus.

Overcoming doubt
Hearing and seeing by the spirit is so simple and easy and normal that we are tempted to doubt it and say, “It’s just me.” This is where faith in the promises comes in.

The Lord answered this question in Patty Sadallah’s journaling:
When you call on My name, do you expect Me or a demon to answer? Let Me tell you the Truth. No demon would dare answer My call. Be careful what you expect. Your expectations reveal your true heart. If you don’t believe that I can or will answer you, you will not be able to connect with Me. Not because I am not answering, but because you don’t believe that I am answering. Confess and repent for this unbelief and welcome Me to answer. Watch what I will do!

The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.

Use this spiritual home base to meet Jesus regularly and He will always be there to communicate, heal, direct, and comfort you as needed. Building memories with Him in your special place is a faith propeller that will transform you into your Christ Identity.

I (Mark Virkler) would like to add this
If you believe it is just your mind speaking back to you and not Jesus: Bind the demons of doubt and unbelief and rebuke them in Jesus' name and state your confession that you are a believer. You believe the Bible works in you. You are a sheep and Jesus promised that His sheep hear His voice. So you hear Jesus’ voice, period. Fear, doubt, and unbelief be gone in Jesus' name! I am a believer!

Jesus Is Coming
By Billy Graham • March 4



But don't forget this, dear friends. . . . He isn't really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
—2 Peter 3:8,9 (TLB)
Many people are asking, “Where is history heading?” A careful student of the Bible will be led to see that God controls the clock of destiny. Amid the world’s confusion, God’s omnipotent hand moves, working out His unchanging plan and purpose. Jesus Christ is coming to earth again. It is Christ who is in control, and He will determine the outcome. George Whitefield, the great English evangelist, said, “I am daily waiting for the coming of the Son of God.” But he did not sit down and do nothing. He burned out his life in proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.

Prayer for the day
Father, deliver me from slothfulness, keep me quickened to deliver Your message of salvation to everyone who will listen, until that day I die or You return again. Amen.

Humble Yourself Now

February 27, 2024
by Pastor Chuck Swindoll
Scriptures: Job 42:1–11
"I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.” (Job 42:5–6)
Take special notice of Job's words. He does not reply, "I've got an argument here." On the contrary, He says, "I retract and repent." There's no divine force. There's no threatening rebuke from God. "Job, if you don't get down on your knees and beg for mercy from Me, I'm going to finish you off!"

No. In gentle, resigned submission Job rests his case in the Father's will. He says, "You instruct me, and as a result of Your instruction, I will willingly submit and accept it." Do you know what I love about Job's attitude? There is an absence of talk about "my rights." There is not a hint of personal entitlement. There is no expectation or demand. There's not even a plea for God to understand or to defend him before his argumentative friends. Furthermore, there's no self-pity, no moody, depressed spirit. He is completely at rest. His innermost being, at last, is at peace.

You may say, "Well, if God had blessed me as He blessed Job, I'd say that too." Wait. He hasn't yet brought relief or reward. The man is still covered with boils. He still doesn't have any family. He's still homeless. He's still bankrupt. With nothing external changed, Job says quietly, "Lord, I'm Yours."

Focus on the timing. Humble yourself not after He exalts you, but humble yourself now. Don't wait. Pull back, stop the arguing, and rest in Him. It is remarkable how He will quiet your spirit and transport you to a realm of contentment you've never known before, even with most of the answers missing. The philosophers of this world demand answers. The believer who has now learned through this kind of cataclysmic experience to trust, regardless, demands nothing. And the worries slowly fade away, one after another.

"Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you" (James 4:10).
