Jesus brought the Kingdom of God, a new heaven, a new Mind to manifest a new Reality! Jesus gave his followers authority to bring the kingdom to people; authority to tread on scorpions and serpents (makes “don’t tread on me” a revealing of an infiltrating spirit), authority over all the power of the enemy (this is before Jesus was glorified and sent the Holy Spirit and fire baptism of power “wait until you are endued by power”), the authority so NOTHING could hurt them (“nothing in no ways will harm you”), and their names written in heaven (Luke 10:3-20) is far greater than manifestations of God’s power.
How much more is available to us today as we receive both the ascended, glorified Jesus’ authority and power through his glorified Spirit in us and his Holy Spirit upon and with us? The “more” is spoken by Jesus before his death, resurrection and glorification sitting on the Throne with God his Father: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to my Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it” John 14:12-14
The Spirit of truth comes to dwell with us and in us for ever (in our temporary tent and our permanent glorified body); the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit because it neither sees him nor knows him; you will know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you (John 14:16-17). The key is to KNOW beyond knowledge, to live, move and have our being with conscious awareness in Christ and Christ in us, the hope of glory! The River of water of life, the streams of light of glorified Christ Spirit and Presence can be seen behind closed physical eyes pouring in, and felt flowing within our body!
“The world will not see me but you will see me…I will love you and manifest myself to you…if you love me and keep my word, my Father will love you and we will come and make our home with you…the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name will teach you ALL THINGS, and bring to remembrance all that I have said. Peace I leave with you; my Peace I give to you; not the world’s peace. Let not your hearts be troubled, nor be afraid. I go away and I will come to you. If you love Jesus you will rejoice that he went to his Father; for the Father is greater than I” John 14:19-28
Rejoice! Jesus overcame the world, disarmed the principalities and powers, publicly triumphing over them and every power of darkness, so all we have to do is RECEIVE the finished work of the cross: all power and authority in heaven and on earth was given to Jesus and is given to us to triumph over when we consciously live in the kingdom of God making Jesus the Name above every name, the King of Glory of the kingdom of heaven on earth to give our Father of Glory all the glory now and forever!
All we do is BELIEVE, the simple faith of a child to her Father, to receive the Spirit of Peace; the kingdom of God is PEACE! the infant Prince of Peace has become the powerful King of Peace forever! “Go your way; behold, I send you out as LAMBS in the midst of wolves…first say, ‘Peace unto this house!’ and if a son of Peace is there, your peace shall rest upon them…nevertheless know this, the kingdom of God has come near” Luke 10:3-11. Christ in you is his PEACE in you; his Kingdom in you; meaning everything is under your feet as you walk as Jesus walked in the LIGHT!
“The God of Peace will crush satan under your feet” Romans 16:20
“Go and proclaim the kingdom of God…do not look back” Luke 9:57-62. Religions are stuck in the past, so to live, move and have your being in the kingdom of God we focus only on the finished work of Jesus, receive his Father and his righteousness through the Holy Spirit, asking and thanking our Father for Christ living in you when you give all that you were to Jesus, and TAKE the authority and power given to you to be his hands and feet in the world.
The world is increasingly dark, full of tribulation, terror, killing and war; those doing the works of the devil seem to be getting more and more brazen, BUT those who choose to do the Will of God in the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven have the LIGHT of Christ in them, the only holy, godly solution! There is no religion of peace or world peace; they are spirits of the world of the god of this world. The Messiah brought peace to the children of God and a sword to evil and division, but in Christ we now have the commission to take the PEACE within us and use the Sword of the Spirit to cut away the divisions those devoid of the Spirit are imposing upon us. The evil agenda is to divide and conquer, stir up hate between races, religions, genders, nations and ideologies. The ONLY ANSWER is the Holy Spirit to lead the sons of God, born again of Water and Spirit to carry the Spirit of Peace and the kingdom of God within, and the Spirit of God resting upon us, with us, and flowing within us as eternal life now and for ever and ever!
People who do not come to Jesus to be saved, healed, delivered and set free have hidden darkness in their hearts; being “good” is not the Way to the Father, Jesus is The Way and we take the Truth and Life by faith through grace. The conditioning of the world system is of fallen Adam and bondage to the elemental spirits of the universe; but in Christ and Christ in you we are transformed, remade in the image and likeness of God, reconciled by Jesus to our Father, transformed and conformed to the image of the Son by the Holy Spirit. Spiritual darkness and evil infect people like a virus and in the battle; our weapons are spiritual not weapons of worldly war…
“Teacher, what shall we do to inherit eternal life?” You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself…do this, and you will live (Luke 10:25-28)!
God is LOVE and you know the god people follow is not God if there is killing, hate and division. God is LOVE and if you are being exposed to a different god, come to Jesus and find rest for your soul! Yoke to Christ Jesus and be a new heaven on a new earth in the spiritual kingdom of God, in Christ and Christ in you! You know if it is a “god” or God by the fruit; if they are of the tree of life there is no duality of good and evil; there is only goodness, gentleness, kindness, patience, self-control, faithfulness, joy, peace and love! The Son is Peace, and the kingdom of God is a peaceful kingdom where righteousness dwells. “The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit…let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding” Romans 14:17,19
“Give thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us (past tense) from the dominion of darkness and transferred us (now and is to come) to the kingdom of his beloved Son” Colossians 1:12-14
God is LIGHT and you know the “gods” individuals are following are not God if there is mixed darkness and light or hidden mysteries or secrets and levels. Jesus revealed God our Father, the book of Revelation revealed Jesus Christ as the finished work and as he is now, and his Holy Spirit reveals Christ in you! The hidden mystery was revealed by Jesus: Christ IN YOU is the hope of glory! God is SPIRIT and those who worship in spirit and truth are the children of God! The water we receive from ascended Jesus is his glorified Spirit that transforms our body, soul and spirit into his new wine in a new wineskin. We do not patch our old garments polluted by the world; we TAKE his new white light garment and put on the armor of LIGHT (Romans 13:12)! We have to take off the human garment spotted by the flesh and take the white garment of Christ, the gold refined by fire and eyes anointed to see (Revelation 2- 3).
It WAS the last hour when John wrote about it (1 John 2:18-27) so I adjure you and exhort you to WAKE UP!! Put on the armor of Light; put on the Lord Jesus Christ for the night is FAR GONE, the DAY is at hand (Romans 13:11-14). Everything is NOW: past future and present! It is done! Behold, I make ALL things new! All means ALL!! Wake up and receive the LIGHT Christ gives (Ephesians 5:14) NOW (Romans 13:11-14)! Take the PEACE he offers and come out of the world into the spiritual kingdom of heaven on earth now!! Take the WATER OF LIFE for free; let the river of Spirit fill you with light, love, peace, joy and every good endowment, every perfect gift from above and every spiritual blessing!
Quit taking the word of the world; there is life and death in our tongue! Take the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God written on your heart, and speak LIFE and BLESSINGS!!!!
Take Christ in you and experience his glory to be changed and carry His glory for the glory of God our Father!! Take the wedding garment, the gold refined by fire and the eye anointing salve and come to the wedding celebration of the Lamb IN YOU! “Come I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” Receive the divine inheritance and partake in the divine nature as son and bride; king and priest of our Father and his Christ!!! The Kingdom of heaven on earth is IN YOU if you will just wake up and realize it! Stop looking for another external messiah; Jesus already did it all for all and all you have to do is individually RECEIVE the light, love and Spirit of God!
“Did I not tell you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God?”
Do not look for any outside authority to save you or bring light to the darkness or fight terror or drugs or diseases or climate change or poverty; Jesus said “do not be deceived!” Jesus warned that they would speak words that sounded good but their heart would be full of evil intent with an evil agenda to profit only themselves. Truly, truly, Jesus already overcame every world problem, brought a new heaven to earth, the spiritual kingdom of God for us to live, move and have our being in, where peace rules and reigns, where loving God and loving one another as ourselves is the only Way! Truly, truly the Way, Truth and Life is in the Son’s kingdom of heaven on earth now; our spirit and soul seated in the heavenly places with Christ, our body the connector of heaven and earth, and his glory in our conscious awareness of Christ in you!!
Will you join me in praying for every human being on earth to wake up and receive the light of Christ; for the Holy Spirit to pour upon all flesh; for all heart-eyes to be enlightened throughout the world; to see as Christ Jesus sees and see Christ as he now is: with the eyes of Truth and Peace and Love and Wisdom through the Holy Spirit. Father, fill all in all with your, Christ Jesus; draw us up with your holy leaven in our body, making us whole and holy.
Pray for your city and your sphere of influence. You plus the Holy Spirit is a majority; where two or more are gathered God is there! You, plus our Father and his Lamb, are two or more!! Jesus sent them out two by two, but now Christ in you is the two who have become one!! Know that all power and authority in heaven and earth were given to Jesus; and Jesus has given it all to you through the Holy Spirit with you and in you!
Leave the old for the new of Christ; don’t look back or you turn to a pillar of stone.
Pray for the churches in your area to turn away from the past and be filled with the Holy Spirit and fire of God!! The church is Christ’s Spiritual Body; there is one body and one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4)! Be the church; be a holy temple with God’s glory as your inner light, his Lamb as your lamp; your body becomes his lamp-stand!! Assemble together knowing who is IN YOU as an assembly of the first-borns with Christs Jesus!! Let Jesus’ prayers of John 17 be your prayer for yourself, your family, church, city, state, nation and the whole earth! To God be the glory before all time and now and is to come forever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah!! The marriage of the Lamb and God’s lambs has come; the invitation has been given, many make excuses and stay in the world, but Jesus says to come out of her and come to Christ to be a bride, a wife of the Lamb, to be perfectly one with our Father, to live, move and have your being in the spiritual kingdom of heaven on earth! Come taste and see the ALL goodness of God!!
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory” Isaiah 6:3
We are the hosts of a new heaven; we are to host God as his holy body temples filled with the Holy Spirit, fire and glory of God, so the whole earth can be covered by his glory IN and THROUGH US! Hosanna in the highest for Peace on earth and good will towards men! Merry Christ Day now and forever and ever Amen. Hallelujah!!
New Heaven on Earth! 
Let Jesus’ prayers of John 17 be your prayer for yourself, your family, church, city, state, nation and the whole earth! To God be the glory before all time and now and is to come forever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah!! ” ~ Amen! Powerful prayers that WILL bring the body of Christ into unity! The other Sunday during worship, the Lord told me twice ~ “My glory is when you love as I love.” The bride will be glorified, united in perfect love for Jesus, each other and the world!

Nice! Precise, clear, and to the point. When I pray, I ask for the Spirit to teach me what to pray. I listen for that still, small, voice and then proceed. Only in this way do I know that the Father’s will is done. You know what? This never disappoints. Whatever I pray in this fashion is as good as done.
At present there is a shift going on in Heaven. Power is being moved from the inattentive to those who have their eye single to the purposes of Almighty. Prayer for those that are inattentive hampers the flow of the Spirit and often results in bad outcomes at worst and in nothing more than wind at best. However, when when we are aligned with the Spirit of The Most High, we can expect the very best.
Sadly, I’m not directed to pray for churches, peoples, or nations at this time, but for individuals whom God directs that it is His will that He pour out his favor.
May you all be blessed today and fulfill your role in these final moments!

Thank you Advanced Research! I agree it is important to listen for the still, small voice and align with what the Father is doing and saying! Thank you for adding to the discussion! Prayer is just as much intimate relationship, constant conscious connection with God, as it is communication, both sharing our heart with God and listening. “Be still and know that I am God” The Holy Spirit intercedes within us beyond words, sighs, and even taking over our breathing at times which feels like being imparted with spiritual gifts, downloads, or teaching and purifying our hearts. Our High Priest Jesus also intercedes in and for us unceasingly if we give him the reigns. There is a knowing deeper than words, feelings, and sensations when the two become one, like married couples finishing each other sentences! Union with our Christ of God is a pure, holy, righteous, spiritual coming together as one, unlike a physical joining of marriage. Being in the “flow” of the Holy Spirit is the greatest ease and joy!! When we turn right or left it is such a blessing to get the “check” in our spirit so we can adjust. The bible is so important because the Words of Jesus are Trustworthy and True, life and Spirit, and when we commune with it daily (eat our Daily Bread to have the hidden manna) we receive transmission, commissioning, impartation and edification and exhortation when we are open and sensitive to the Spirit. God speaks in so many ways, thank God! in dreams, visions, people, books, lyrics, the bible, nature, sensations, life-affirming thoughts, still, small voice, audible voice, knowing in your heart, downloads, etc. The key seems to be staying in intimate relationship with him! and “Thy Will be done” is great when we don’t know what to pray. Thank God the Holy Spirit intercedes 24/7 beyond words! I have found that when I enter that place where I am one with Him every thing is made right and whole. Ruth Ward Heflin said, “praise until you enter worship (where two become one; absorbed into His Love; not I, but Christ living in me) then worship until the glory comes; in the glory all things are possible and whatever is asked is manifest!
Yes, may we all hear and see what our Father is doing and join in!!

Yes, meditative prayer (praying in the Spirit) is different than simply throwing out requests and feel good sentiments hoping that one will hit the mark. In Heaven these (nice) thoughts, just thrown out there, come across a bit like scrambled eggs. Heaven has to weigh the request, and the damage or good it may do, and either discard or accept it, with the less than optimal consequences, in some way.
However, when praying in the Spirit, one is aligned across the spectrum. The will of God can be accomplished super fast and efficient. We find these prayers short, simple, yet extremely effective.
These can be our daily moment by moment, power prayers. However, there are the deep meditative prayers where we can enter into the glory. These leave indelible impressions on us. Here we know we’ve been changed and will never be the same person again. Anybody who has ever went into a vision in glory, seen through walls, or changed the course of history while in deep, meditative, prayer will know what I’m talking about.

I was speaking of true worship, as in John 4, “We worship what we know; you worship what you do not know (very dangerous as most likely the counterfeit or “Satan disguising himself as an angel of light as men disguise themselves as servants of righteousness whose end will correspond to their deeds” 2 Cor 11:14-15); “we worship what we know…true worshipers worship the Father in spirit and truth…God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” John 4:21-26. “Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayers and supplication” Ephesians 6:18. “But you beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God” Jude 1:20. To pray unceasingly is to be consciously aware that we have our High Priest and Holy Spirit unceasingly interceding in us, the Spirit of Truth and Holiness in us. We take EVERYTHING to the Lord in prayer, in Jesus’ name, in union as in “In that day you will KNOW that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” John 14:20. Jesus said the true worshipers worship in spirit and truth; I praise God, thanking and honoring Him for all he has done, speaking his Word outloud or singing until I enter worship in the Spirit where “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” Galatians 2:20. Seeing God’s Beauty in the world can “awe” me into this state of worship or reading something profound about the amazing wonder of God. It happens sometimes in church, sometimes in conferences, bible studies, in the beauty of nature, when the Wind of the Spirit of God blows, when Holy Spirit breathes me; when the fire falls; when the Presence of God is tangibly manifest, etc. etc. Being surrendered to Jesus; being filled with the Holy Spirit; being amazed, astounded, awed and filled with reverence and wonder; grateful for the finished work of the cross; amazed at the goodness of God; in continual communication with our Father as a child of God, dependent only on Him for every need; knowing where my “help” comes from; having been caught up in the Spirit to KNOW Him directly, faith made manifest, I could do nothing apart from his LOVE! I first entered this form of worship when I was reading the bible for three days nonstop, taking notes, the Word opened up to me and on the third day the Holy Spirit and fire fell and I was taken up in the Spirit and there was no more “me” and when I was back in the world, I knew without a doubt that God is real. Jesus manifested himself to me later and said, “Come to me, you who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest” This was the beginning of my true walk with the Lord, my upbringing was a very religious family (Lutheran) but I knew only religion, I did not know Jesus experientially or personally, thus I did not know our Father. But his Word is true: “I will not leave you desolate. I will come to you and manifest myself to you…if you love me and keep my word, my Father will love you and we will come to you and make our home with you” John 14:18-28

Just wondering if you vet or discern the Word-Faith people you quote, such as Ruth Ward Heflin, before you quote them? Word-Faith “prophets” are false teachers – many today and in Ms. Heflin’s (who also promoted the likes of false teacher Benny Hinn) time, promote the “gold dust” and such revivals. Many lying signs and wonders, if you research and understand that “revival”, you can see its not of God, nor an outpouring of the Spirit. Just because its “spiritual”, does not make it of God. God’s Spirit does not manifest signs and wonders to impress or build up egos, or cause confusion, and much of these manifestations do exactly that. Also, these manifestations, “gold dust” and such, and when people are “slain in the spirit”, show it is demonic – God does not make people bark like dogs, roll around on the floor like they are mad, or otherwise causing confusion. Much of this started with the “Airport Vineyard Blessing” in the 1990s, please research that if you haven’t yet and let us know what you think. God is a God of order. The enemy only, is the author of confusion.

Just wondering if you have read her book “Glory: experiencing the atmosphere of heaven”? Do you know her personally or attended any of her meetings while she was still alive? I only read her book, three times, and I did not discern any of the things you accuse her of, unjustly I believe. Do you know her heart? She did not promote the things the false signs/wonders crowd espouses. Just because a false prophet uses the legitimacy of her book to make himself seem legitimate does not mean you should judge her without reading her book and letting Holy Spirit give you discernment of whose spirit she both belongs and writes of.
It sounds like you are disdaining the Spirit of God and I would warn you to not quench the Spirit or speak against the Holy Spirit working in a woman of God. “Every one who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will NOT be forgiven” Luke 12:10 “Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come” Matthew 12:32
Orderly worship is described in 1 Cor 14:26 “When you come together, each on has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. If any speak in a tongue, let there be two or three, and each in turn; and let one interpret….Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said…For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; For God is not a God of confusion but of peace…If any one thinks that he is a prophet, OR SPIRITUAL, he should acknowledge that what I am writing to you IS A COMMAND of the Lord. If any one does not recognize this, he is not recognized. So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues; but all things should be done decently and in order” 1 Cor 14:26-40.
Read Ruth’s book and you will see their worship was orderly and she was called to speak to kings and heads of nations about private matters in the name of God.
I agree that spiritual discernment is critical for the body of Christ, but let us not judge another child of God out of hand.
“Now there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the MANIFESTATION of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SPIRITS, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ALL THESE are inspired by ONE and the SAME SPIRIT, who apportions to each one INDIVIDUALLY as HE WILLS” 1 Cor 12:4-11
“Through the law we die to the law, that we might live to God. We have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God” Galatians 2:19-21
“But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian; for IN Christ Jesus you are ALL sons of God, through faith…those baptized INTO CHRIST have PUT ON Christ…for you are ALL one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise…when we were children we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. But when the TIME HAD FULLY COME, God redeemed us and we received adoption AS SONS. And because we are sons, GOD HAS SENT the Spirit of his Son INTO OUR HEARTS” Gal 3:25-4:7
I agree with you that the enemy, the evil one, is the author of confusion, fear, doubt, uncertainty, worry, antichrist spirits and counterfeit spirituality; the one who steals faith, kills peace and joy, and destroys the people of God and churches from the inside through lies, deception, manipulation, and subtle infiltration of evil leaven.
“If any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable, will receive anything from the Lord” James 1:5-8
Ruth’s book blessed me and gave me greater clarity concerning the encounters I have had and caused me to understand praise, worship and God’s glory in ways I had not understood before. Discernment of spirits is a gift of the Holy Spirit to the one body of Christ. “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body –Jews or Greeks, slaves or free– and all were made to drink of one Spirit…if the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing…as it is there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no use for you’…if one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together…earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way….LOVE” 1 Cor 12:12-13:1-13
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, BEHOLDING THE GLORY of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit” 2 Cor 3:17-18

I don’t bother putting my name, because my name is not important in this. Who I am is not important. What IS important, is to use our spirits and minds not only to pray with the Holy Spirit, but also to discern.
This includes not only reading books by “prophets”, for they are only human! The Spirit is our only Teacher from Jesus. From people, by their fruit you shall know them. Surface “fruit” may appear good or healing, of God, but what is their deeper fruit, when one researches?
Concerning Ms. Heflin, for example:
– Ms. Heflin was associated with a woman named Sylvania Machado, who had manifestations of gold dust and oil on and around her body. Ms. Machado’s testimony was on Ms. Heflin’s website and Ms. Heflin believed these manifestations were of God, they were “transferred” to Ms. Heflin by Ms. Machado. They were not. God does not rely on signs and wonders, the evil one does. Look at the manifestations in the Catholic Church for example, crying madonnas and blood spilling from crucifixes? Dancing sun miracles? Then into the Word-Faith or charismatic, gold dust and fillings and gems falling, people “slain” in the spirit, rolling around like madmen and barking like dogs? She may not have had the barking like dogs, but she did have the gold dust for example. These are not manifestations of God, but lying signs and wonders, designed to ensnare people in their own “works”.
– If thw world loved her, as they love other “preachers”, that’s another sign. Jesus said His true followers would be persecuted, not loved by the world.
– She made predictions that Jesus would appear bodily in Benny Hinn’s crusades. Obviously that did not happen. A prophecy that does not come true, is an indication of false anointing.
– Ruth Heflin, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, Ted Haggard, Creflo Dollar, Pat Robertson, Joyce Meyers, Katherine Kuhlman, John Lake, Aimee Semple McPherson, I could go on… All exhibit being false prophets. They were dearly loved in the world, through their words and ideas that tingled human ears.
– The “Jesus” these people hear from, is Jesus Sananda Emmanuel. Have you ever heard of this character? Not one to become involved with or deceived by, and he can be subtle. He is no Jesus Christ.
– Why follow people or give credence to anyone, instead of, only the Holy Spirit?
As for having spoken wlth kings and heads of state about “private matters”, I may also point out that those very kings and heads of state, are in the clutches of the evil one. Both sides of this world that “is not”, are in control of the evil one, such that if one is on the “us” side, they are caught, or the “them” side, they are caught. Those in charge of the world, are of the world. This is a fact when you look at what is happening in the world around us. So I would encourage you not to be impressed with people or who they may speak to, simply because they are “called” to inform those that run the world. The straight path is neither left nor right, “us” or “them”, but the narrow path in the centre. It is neither for the state of Israel, nor against them, or the West, nor against it, or Islam, or against it, etc. All of those are under control of the evil one. Of God, is recognition of seeing the evil one controls both sides “in the world”, and not being on either one. As such, is believing these manifestations, and those who do or did, promote them. God does not operate in signs and wonders. His record in the Bible is complete in and of itself. Signs and wonders manifested by people, are given, as part of leading even the elect astray, if possible. Trust only God, and His fruit – when you look at the fruit of people, one has to measure all of the fruit, against the light of Scripture, alone.
Don’t get me wrong – I was healed of mental afflictions and given a sound mind and heart instantly by Jesus, and His fire fell on me, much like you Yvonne. However, I remain unimpressed by signs and wonders, and question those that manifest them, and look into their lives and who they were acquainted with, as well as their actions/manifestations, and compare them to what Jesus says, Scripture alone. If it does not fit Jesus or His words, it is promptly discarded. This is discernment.

This is a reply to Anonymous and Yvonne from several replies above. The question was, “What do you mean by deep, meditative, prayer? As mentioned above in reply to Anonymous, it has to do with expectation and stickwithitness. For more of the nuts and bolts to it please click on my logo, go to the ART Blog heading on the top banner, and read my latest post Living Revelation where results to deep, meditative prayer are further described.
Ask the question? Wait for the answer until it comes. Keep seeking. It will come. Allow it to come as the Spirit desires. It may come as an impression. It may be shown in an incident. It may come in some form of revelation. The Father longs to give us good gifts. If you ask for bread, you will not be given a stone. Have the faith to wait and receive.
