Larry king asked the difference between psychics and prophets.. Kim said Pshychics speak to the dead who are "living", prophets speak to the living  who are "dead".  You have only one life to live on this earth, why should you have to wait until you have died before you can be reached.. ONE LIFE HE SAID.. does this mean he doesn't believe in reincarnation?   

Chapter 1 Why they call me Crazy

page 18 - Feb 2005 - Death in the City

during his performance in New Orleans... the entire visit his wife felt death all around her, being depressed.  Kim felt the room filled with something dark and devious.   when he went to his performance, he had no prophetic revelation, the heavens seemed to be shut... communicating with the crowd was awkward.  felt as if all spiritual authority had vacated the city.

while leaving, they got a flat tire and he looked at the sky and saw a dark claw merge from the clouded sky.. "We are struggling to get out of this city, the peole of this city will also b fighting to leave, as we are now.  He said to his manager that something is stopping them from leaving.. he feels he is experiencing it as a prophetic gesture because this is going to happen in the future

page 19 of 208. 

atmosphere filled with positive and powerful spiritual energy   there was expectancy in the h ears of the people , which is always good for a prophet because celebration is the key to releasing the "word" from god.  

page 19 - July 2005 - Houston Texas

performing in  Houston, his friend from New Orleans attended. he got a word regarding new Orleans.. the flood..?  spiritual flood. and physical flood,  hurricane Katrina.

like the darkness that overcame Abraham when God told him of the 400 yer enslavement in Egypt, and when Kim saw the planes plying over New York City... he flt this darkness and the spirit of god took control.. and he spoke about new Orleans

Kim explained it.. stand against my servant Moses... pioneering movement ??  was this Moses or those that stand against Moses

flood, spiritual.. Isaiah said:  when the enemy comes in, like a flood the spirit of the lord will raise up a  standard against him.. meaning 

page 20

regarding New Orleans... like  a flood, god will come against the forces that speak against and oppose his will.

but when god said i will take the curses and the bodies will even rise and they will come forth on the water.. .. actual flood..  the curses and bodies are connected.. dealing with ancient spirits.

but i will keep you.. new Orleans will not be completely annihilated..

and the stench of death will on last a few days.  

page 22.. Call me Crazy 

when i hear god, its the most exhilarating rush i have ever had in my life

sometimes i hear him when there's music and lights and people cheering, soeties its over a quiet dinner or in the privacy of my studio where i love to pray and play my music.

sometimes i hear whim when sitting on a plane, watching a movie, when iam on live tv.. 

Noah heard god.. Gen 6:9-22 peole called him crazy

Gideon was crazy when he took 300 men to figght Judges 

Joan of Arc was crazy 

Martin luther king jur.. 

Jesus when he was going to raise lazarus (john 11)

pg 23, He wants to speak to you

it was the original intention.

he created man to have a friend to talk to

sadly all of israel would rather haer from god through moses than hear from him directly..  Ex 20:18-19

this gave god no choice but to raise up prophets. people who would celebrate hearing from him, wait anxiously for yet another word.  he chose those who woud not only hear him but would allow god to speak thru them to the world.

God operates outside of th realm of reason.. reason is the power toform judgments by a process fo logic.  if you operonly only here, then you are limiting your judgment to what is right and practical.. like common sense.   in the bile, where is something new accomplished by logic.

PRAYER ASKS FOR RAIN, BUT FIATH TAKES THE UMBRELLA.   but even further.. when god revleas to you its going to rain.. faith builds an ark.  So big is your expectation, that you start building outside of reason.  

god doesn't need to do the same thing twice.. he might do it but it might be because he can't find anyone who will simply act on his command.

every person throu history who heard god's voice and acted accordingly did something that had never beendone before.  

paring the se w/ stick  -- this is inpossible .. why would god choose an impossible method for an impossible feat?  there is no possible, reasable method to perform this kind of miracle.  he chooses HIS methods, not ours.

pg 24, Repetition dulls the heart, mind, and spirit

p 25

the lack of creativity in music is causing man to be dull of hearing.. as a result the words have become obscene.. bc once you reach a stalemate, and you fear stepping into the unknown, man's evil human nature will vent his own personal feelings. 

Pg 25, You are not a clone

Don't allow yourself to be defined by what you don't do.  if we don't do waht we were born to do, we relegate others to being the most brilliant minds in our generation.

genetic cloning is one of the ideas born in the synagogue of Satan, the throne of religion.

religion is the org that has structured everything so tightly that it brings starvation to the imagination of millions.. undermines the creativity of the spirit, offers nothing more than a repetition of what has previously been a success in their world.. VAIN REPETITION.

to be prophetic in any way is an insult to their system.. bc they trhriv on manipulating human beings with stories of achievemnts that came about by good works only.   many christians take a moment that was experienced by god and make a monument of it and everyone must do what they have done that way...  in an effort to keep the burning bush burning.  while god was speaking the bush kept burning.. when god stopped speaking the bush became a pile of ashes. Most people today would rahter gather arround the ashes and try to resurrect the bush then follow his voice.

pg 27 - Everything in its time is beautiful

(Ecc 3:11)  a prophetic dream has to be given outside of time.  wehen it is given to the cosen person, it is usually blurry and unclear, but as time progresses, focus changes, and clarity sets in.

Every vision is a joke until one man accomplishes it; once realized it becomes commonplace -- Robert Hutchings Goddard

 

if you want to live your life through the spirit, then you will have to be led by His Spirit not by your mind, emotions or fear of man

there are some who claim to hear god but act outside of his revealed character.

this is never god's voice, because god is love and will never hurt another human bieing.  remember when the spirit of god speaks to you, it will be defined by how he has acted in the past, and it can never be redefined by any human mind.  

when god speaks to you, it is usually about you and ow you are supposed to help  people or your family or friends.  it is not for the purpose of interfering in another's well being and personal life.  the minute control become the motivating factor, you ARE crazy..

Chapter 2 The Sound of the Future

pg 31-34 - description of music test when he was 8, his first encounter with the supernatural.

p 34 - Developing the Sound

Upon leaving the fabric store, my mother took me to an apartment in our little town where a woman resided who claimed psychic powers. During our visit, the psychic took my hand and did a “reading.” She told me that I would travel overseas as a musician and that I would become famous. My inhibitions were removed by her flattery. I listened with wonderment as she portrayed exactly what I had dreamed of becoming. I was a little fearful, yet intrigued by the mystical atmosphere.

p 38 - a Voice from Another World

a whisper told him to Duck and something flew over him and hit a tree

A few days later, I was unexpectedly prompted to do something that seemed very strange to me. I requested that the wind would increase in force and volume. Instantly, the wind began to howl, and the dirt at my feet gathered into a whirlwind that was spinning around with incredible force. I covered my eyes and within seconds the wind died down.

p 38 - Listen to the Wind

Though I knew nothing about God at that point, I knew this was no coincidence. I was intrigued, and I continued walking and pondering these events. Suddenly I felt an urge to just stop and listen. I waited, and as the wind began to gently blow, I heard the voice again. It said, “Listen.” I stopped and strained to listen, but I heard nothing. “Listen to the wind.” This time I stopped trying so hard to hear, and just listened. For a moment, I was able to “see” (perceive) something that surpassed my natural abilities of sight and hearing. What I saw was an old castle. It was grey and majestic, and I could hear the shouts of people coming from within its walls. They were shouting as if they had just won a tremendous victory in battle. As I tell this story now, I still get chills remembering that moment.

p 40 - Finding God in the Sound

p 42 - Turning Point

p 44 - Welcome to the Prophethood!

i began to discover this new sound, this prophetic cound that gave me the ability to see deep into the soud of the person before me.  Unlike a psychic, I was seeing the root of their problems, the source of their pain, and with God’s help, I was able to see them in the future, free of their heartache and exactly the way He intended them to be.

Chapter 3 The Journey of a Prophet

winter, Texas, 1993.  Donne 13.  just moved from South Africa.  racing moped with her, breaks didn't work, accident.. broke both hands.   all fingers and wrists broken from the impact on the concrete.  right hand broke off completely under the skin.  had to put pins and plates in, doctors told Kim he would never play piano again the way that he used to.  severely allergic to the pain meds they gave him.    heard a voice taunting him... "So you will be piercing the darkness?".. and he screamed yes.   Had Jane pray for him as he had no strength.

Over the next few days, began seeing things beyond the year 2000.    so many visions.   saw a company of young people and when the shouted, they sounded like people going to war. wounded, but young, radical, revolutionary, non-religious.   God said"You are seeing a  generation of prophets who will emerge from the dust and become an army.  your assoc and friends will turn their backs on you but after a decade they will return to you.  GIVE UP YOUR PRESENT MINISTRY and follow me.  i am sending you to DETROIT to recover, be restored, to raise up your leaders.

He had been ministering since 1976 and was popular in US in large churches.    Next, "the contradiction to the prophesy" happened.  When god speaks to you like he did to me that day, the enemy of your soul immediately tries to comes in and steal your joy and inspiration

His friends told him that this accident was a punishment by god.  he asked forgiveness of god, and they informed him that it was because his music was worldly, ungodly, new age.  he prayed a prayer of sorrow even though he had his doubts.

p 50 - Confronting the power of Religion

the most effective tool in Satan's hand is the power of religion. relition wil ltry to keep you quiet and controlled, never allowed you to become the instument god created yo to be.  Many eyars christians told him how to act, what to listen to, what to say.  and he was promoted through the church.  but now, he wouldn't take it any more.  

The visions in the night of what he called "The Warrios of the New Millennium".   But because he believe that Jesus would return before tehe new millenim, his vision was blocked beyond the year 2000.  He couldn't believe visions he saw beyond 2000.  

Your doctin, creed and eschatology, if incorrect, will blind you to the future.

God showed learders and prophets with tattoos and pierced body parts.    God told  him to tke up his cross and follow him and he though he was.  but god said he wanted him to be the person he created him to be before he was born.  

p 53 - Off to Detroit 

Gathering of the Dangerous.. GOD.

p 55 - 9/11 Prophesy

Dearborn, a city with the largest arabic population in the US.  July 25, 1996.  

p 55 - Terrorist Plot Thwarted

the spirit spoke of a 2nd terrorist attack in which there will be divine protection.    (Plot to blow up planes in flright from London to LA.  July 8 2006.   God said because the saints of the most high god have been praying, i will expose them like i did in Florida.  

Prayer doesn't change things, prayer changes you and YOU change things

the predicktion also spoke of striking down the "god of the east" (spiritual influences of the middle east".and of the "kings of the ast, the price of the est, the one who wages war against america.. prob Saddam Hussein.

He believed what Pres George W Bush did was more than just go to war for God's sake.. but a ware against the "God of the East".  must be handled with a spirit of war.  "The saints of the most high god will begin to pray".  

Elizabeth Elliot wrote "Prayer lays hold of god's plan and beomces the link between his will and its accomplishments on earth"

My own question... above Kim said Prayer doesn't change things, it changes you.  but here he quotes elizabeth elliot indicating prayer does change things.... 

p 59 - Seeing the Future

When God speaks to you, whether it be through another human being, a material sign like a billboard or a movie, or directly face to face, it is as if a key unlocks the treasures of your heart that were already there before you were born. Therefore, when God reveals the secret (the word secret means Kruptos—a place where treasure is kept) of your heart, the first instinct is to worship God, or to at least feel grateful to Him. Once the treasure of your heart is unlocked, you see yourself as God sees you. This gives you the power to capture the future.

...

any person who hears God is actually delivered from time, and they refuse to allow their “present” to dictate their vision and the progressive truth working in their lives. When you capture the “future,” you bring it into your present state of existence, and from that point forward, you are “nourished” by the future instead of being battered by the past or present.

Daniel the prophet survived all kinds of things because he had seen so far into the future that eternal life was controlling his body.  He was nourished by the future where hisname, prophesies and presence existed.  Jesus on the cross was not nourished by taht which ws aroudn him, but by his future .

Heb 12:2

You and I can endure anything once we catch a glimpse of our future and act accordingly. When you know who you are in the eyes of God, there is an attraction toward you. People will be drawn to you because they are drawn to the light inside of you. You don’t always have to make things happen; sometimes you just have to let things happen. The Law of Attraction will draw people to you. The Law of Attraction is the light of tomorrow—God.

Chapter 4 A Walk with the Legends

It has been said that all things of great value are eventually counterfeited and misrepresented, and the prophet is no exception.

St Thomas Aquinas - The ministry of the prophet

The words of prophets have impacted lives insomuch that they have changed the course of history, which hinges on the response of the recipients.

As Winston Churchill said, “Every prophet has to come from civilization, but every prophet has to go into the wilderness. He must have a strong impression of a complex variety and all that it has to give and he must serve a period of isolation and meditation. That is the process by which psychic dynamite is made.”3

Clement, Kim. Call me Crazy, But I'm Hearing God's Voice: Secrets to Hearing the Voice of God (p. 65-66). Destiny Image. Kindle Edition. 

In Judaism and Islam, Adam is considered to be the first prophet of God.   Adam communed with God as a friend.

Abraham - prophet to 3 religions

Abraham is the first prophet mentioned in the Torah, 

All true prophets, like Abraham, were first and foremost friends of God (see Gen. 20:7). It was only from this place of cultivated friendship that a prophet was trusted to speak on behalf of the Almighty.

Clement, Kim. Call me Crazy, But I'm Hearing God's Voice: Secrets to Hearing the Voice of God (p. 66). Destiny Image. Kindle Edition. 

Abraham was born in Ur in Southern Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq.  He left for the land of Canaa around 2000 BC.  God positioned him to become what he has promised to make him.. a blessing to all the peoples on the earth... which was god's original intent of a prophet.  God only had his prophets speak judgement and guide the people through the events that followed, because of man's defiant departure from the voice of his creator and god's strategic action tp prevent further decadence and loss.    even in judgment the people were promised a return of godds blessig inf they turned back to hiom.

p 66 - Moses - Greatest of All Prophets

Moses was one of the first messengers initially rejected by the people he was sent to.  But he was considered  the greatest prophet to ever walk the earth, holding a  degree of authority unequalled until the coming of Jesus Christ. 

And there arose no more a prophet in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, in all the signs and wonders, which he sent by him, to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his whole land, and all the mighty hand, and great miracles, which Moses did before all Israel (Deuteronomy 34:10-12 KJV).

According to orthodox Jews, he is considered the “Father of all Prophets.” History celebrates Moses as a Hebrew religious leader, military leader, historian, and prophet who lived according to the Hebrew calendar, between the 7th of Adar 2368 and 7th of Adar 2488. The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, is also considered by most scholars to be the work of Moses.

Moses exercised divine authority through signs and wonders, even over the weather and the natural elements, as he led the Hebrews out from under the heavy oppression and slavery executed by the Egyptian rulers.

p 70 - God's Desire to speak directly

This section below indicates that the law might have been given because the people refused to let god speak directly to them.

At the mountain, Moses was given the Ten Commandments to present to the young, wavering nation, demanding a return to the core values that were lost, in part, during the years of influence under Egyptian bondage. The law was received; however, the splendor of hearing God’s voice was tragically abandoned to be discovered and cultivated primarily through those whom many would call crazy—the prophets.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. -- Socrates

Clement, Kim. Call me Crazy, But I'm Hearing God's Voice: Secrets to Hearing the Voice of God (pp. 70-71). Destiny Image. Kindle Edition. 

p 70 - The Prophet is only Human

One of the biggest weapons the enemy uses against you to prevent you from hearing God's voice is the fear o making a mistake or being wrong.  And this might be based on the scriptures that speak of a fals prophet.

Jesus said to beware false prophets.  (Matt 7:15)  He said they are ravenous wolves in sheeps clothing.  

There were many prophets at the time of the exodus, prophets and dreamers, functioning at different levels of authority.

Eldad and Medad prophesied within the israelite camp, and Joshua told Moses to stop them (Numbers 11) 

Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses’ aide since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!” But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit on them” (Numbers 11:28-29).

this showes that god's intention was for mankind ot hear god's goice themselves, and thedeire of the mature prohest was to see others excel in the field in which h ewas called to provide inspiration.  People began to shair their revelations, but also frauds shared false ones to get attention.  Even worse, some spoke on behalf of false gods.    Deuteronomy shows some laws Moses put into place and strictly enforced to discourage this.

pg 72 - Judging Prophesy (Deut 13 and 18)

Deut 13

1) Prophets whose words do come to pass 

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods”—which you have not known—“and let us serve them,” you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God… (Deuteronomy 13:1-5).

the words came to pass but attempted to exploit them and lead them away from God to serve false gods.

If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you (Deuteronomy 13:6-11).

This section indicates we are to stone ANYONE who attempts to steer you away from God, including family.. not just the prophet.  Many religious people focus on the prophet.

Jesus indicated that stoning was overly abused and this resulted in the death of many of God's choice messengers.  

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing (Matthew 23:37).

“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.

This simple display of God’s love and forgiveness through the Prophet Jesus Christ, spared the life of a woman who was to be stoned, and signified the beginning of a new era in which God would deal with people by His Spirit, rather than strictly according to laws. This newly demonstrated grace was a symbol of the life of this Prophet, foreseen by Moses, who would eventually lay His own life down for the spiritual freedom of all people. It also provided a new example for those who would become His disciples and prophets and for the radical positive message that they would spread throughout the world.

 

2) Prophets whose words do not come to pass 

 

gods actions are not always his original intentions

p 81 - Intentions versus actions

When God speaks to people about their future, his word is based on His intention to see all people blessed.  We will do it with no doubt, but his actions are often determined by the response of the recipient, whether they accept or reject God's intention for their lives.  He has given us the power to decide our own destiny.Even peoples mistakes determine the outcome.

God's Intention	Person's Response	God's Actions
Moses bring water from the rock by having his speak to the rock	Because of  Moses' anger toward the people, he hit the rock instead	the water came out anyway, but Moses was unable to enter the promised land
People would hear from God directly	people were afraid to hear his voice and requested to go through Moses instead	He spoke through Moses and brought up prophets to talk to his people
Samson was to rise up against the Philistines with a healthy mind and body	He revealed his secret to Delilah	He still rose up, but he was blind and in chains.
Eli and his family would carry the priesthood throughout their generations	Eli tolerated sin in the temp	God changed his mind.  Eli and his sons died on the same day as the ark was taken from Israel
Israel was to remain free from enemy control during the time of Gideon	their disobedience and sin	God changed his mind
Israel was supposed to enter the promised land the first time	10 of the 12 spies came back with a bad report, didn't believe God could give it to them like He said.  So, Israel wanted to go back to Egypt	They walked in circles 40 years and then were allowed to enter

p 83 - The Judges - Prophets in a time of transition

Deborah, Judges 4-5, a mother in Israel.  There were 15 judges in all, the last one being Samuel.  

p 83 - Samuel - Prophet to the Kings

God let none of his words fall to the ground - 1 Sam 3:19

In 1 Samuel Chapter 10, we see prophets, for the first time, groupoed together with musical instruments.  It seems they used music for worship and set the tone from which to release their revelations, and possibly to inspire their followers to make united declarations.  

David was a prophet and a musician and a warrior and a king.  

p 84 - Isaiah - Statesman Prophet

Predicted the virgin birth of Jesus.  Suffered a horrible death by being sawed in half.  Pronounced Hezekiah's death and then God's changing his mind about Hezekiah's death

 p 85 - Jonah the Reluctant Prophet

Jonah was to prophesy to Nineveh that it was to be destroyed, but he fled instead.  

p 88

GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE GIFT OF FREE WILL.  FOR YOU TO SEE HIS REVEALED INTENTION FOR YOUR LIFE COME TO PASS, YOU MUST REMAIN IN AGREEMENT WITH IT AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS.

Your response to God determines whether or not you will enter the promise He gave you.

There will be times you believe God showed you something.    if it opposes the revealed and established truth about the ways and character of God, then don't bother searching it out.  

p 89 - Elijah and Elisha - Prophets in Times of Crisis

Israel was corrupted by worshiping false god.  Jezebel introduced worshiping her Phoenician gods.  Israel's faith was divided between their God and the false God Baal.  

p 90 - Prophets After Christ

Abagus, Barnabus, Judas, Silas, John, Paul

supernatural expressions of divine power became knows as the gifts of the psirit.  Propehsy was demonstrated and taught to be a gift for the benefit of all and avalable to everyone who woudl believe.

2nd century - Montanus in phrygia.  Priscilla dn Maximulla.  

3rd century, Perpetua

Didache was an early churh manual written in the late first/2nd century.  

Nostrodamus - 16th century 

1917 - fatima prophesis - 3 secrets for the body of christ

1) vision of hell

2) rise of Russia (and historical info about Russia)

3) biship in white, toward cross amid corpses, falls to the ground under gunfire

the prophet shoudl never contradict the teachings of christ and must present messages that accurately represent the intentions of God for humankind, evnen thorugh their words may often challeng traditional religious views.

In the middle of a crisis, the prophet sees the contradiction, and inspires others to see it and agree with him for its emergence. He sees beyond today’s present crisis, revealing a message of hope from the inspiration of the future. In the middle of pain, he feels joy. In poverty, he celebrates abundance. The prophet’s life and message are a constant contradiction to present limitations and are meant to inspire the people to trust in the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God.

p 93 - The Catholic Chrch and Prophets - Three Types of Propehesy

march 1907 first catcholic encyclopedia

St Thomas Aquinas - Summa Theologica - 3 kinds of prophesy contained in that catholic encyclopedia dated 1913

1) Prophesy of Denunciation - dependence upon other causes

2) Prophesy of Foreknowledge - dependent on free will

3) Prophesy of Prediction

God can enlighten the human mind any way he likes.. through an angel, or himself, through the senses or imagination, when senses are suspended in ecstacy (called rapture, like a visit to heaven) 

p 97 - False Prophets, Fanatics, and other Imposters

1) Bar Jesus (sorcerer) obstructed Paul and Barnabas in their attempts to bring divine illumination to a governor.  

p 99 - The Voice of God is for  you

Chapter 5 How you can hear him 

When you were born, and even before you were sent into this world, God placed a treasure in your heart. This treasure was positioned so that at the right moment, you are equipped with the tool you need to perform the extraordinary thing that you were born to perform; this is something that was meant for you only, and no one else can do it.

There are distinguishable features within each of us that from childhood indicate what that unique treasure is.

Clement, Kim. Call me Crazy, But I'm Hearing God's Voice: Secrets to Hearing the Voice of God (p. 104). Destiny Image. Kindle Edition. 

p 105 - Performance and Identity 

At Jesus' Baptism, God said "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".  

God doesn't jusge you based on your perofrmance, he has already made up his mind about you, he speaks it right from the start, before you were even born.  - God was pleased with Jesus before he did anything.   Jesus Knew who he was, God just told him.  he went to the wilderness after Satan.   Performance helps and encoruages, but it doesn't chnage who you are.

p 106 - Fashioned by his voice

the 12 yar old littel girl that died, his language  wasn't dictated by his srroundings, but by his DNA, the etneral factor.

p 107 - Touch the Sound

Your entire being hears god

p 109 - What you see is what you hear

how you see god can skew the meaning of what you hear.  if God is a sadistic taskmaster, then what he says to you will be received with that mindset.   Religion misrepresents god.  

Know - intimacy and deep knowledge gained between two as a reslt of intercourse 

this is not just physical, it is an interchange of the entire being, spirit, souldand body.. it litterally means "to mingle with"

walking w/ god suggests closeness with god.  the same closeness as a union of two peple walking together in total agreement.  God took enoch.. took means "mingled with" .   He was in such union with him, taht he and god became one.

People in the church have lost touch with the fact that our life in this relationship with Jesus is not on the descent, but on the ascent. The death of Christ paid for our sins, but it was His resurrection that gave life to our bodies. Religion embraces death sadistically, and it moves the risen Christ out of the Garden and back to the tomb. Religious people pray, praise (if they can), and walk and talk with a death mentality based on their relationship with Christ’s death and not His resurrection. Many people keep referring to Him as the one still stuck on the Cross when in fact His greatest moment was in His resurrection. That is why religion stinks!

p 113 - How is God speaking to you

You are a unique copy of an ancient gift; you are a unique copy of an ancient manuscript, a unique copy of that which has taken place before. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” So there is nothing new, but there is something uniquely copied from something ancient to make new. You must have something from the past that is relevant to your generation, in a unique form and expression. God can only bring forth truth in a delivery room setting, there’s going to be pain, there’s going to be labor and blood, but there will also be the sweet sound of life. You will hear the cry of a child; you will hear the truth that is relevant in this day and age.

You are a unique copy of an ancient gift of one of the many great men and women who walked this earth over time. Daniel, David, Isaiah, and so many more, all had a gift. When they died, their gift didn’t die. The gift is alive to be used by each one of us. You are a unique copy of one of the greats. You are a unique copy of an ancient manuscript. Most people don’t want to think of themselves as a copy, but the word unique will refresh that feeling. Unique means that you are worthy of being considered in a class by yourself. What is your unique expression?

them. Jane and I both know that in speaking to our five uniquely different children, we have to adjust our tone and presentation for each one.  We do this because we love them, and love understands them as they are. God does the same with each of us. He made us who we are with our unique characteristics and personalities; therefore he speaks to us according to who we are and the personality He gave us.

It is intriguing to consider how God has designed your unique temperament and personality to suit His expression through you. You do not lose your unique, God-given personality when He speaks to and through you, but He liberates it as an expression of His perfect love. Therefore, we must look at how God’s design for your life influences the nature of His communication with you.

Impulse is something prompted out of a need to be accepted, recognized, and loved. Impulse pushes you to do it now so you can get what you want right now. Quickening is when the Spirit, without you specifically having a need, quickens or puts a spiritual impulse into you to do something or say something. When it passes your mental capacity, it passes your need, whatever it may be, and you just do it.

God created our human nature and gave it to us as part of our makeup. It’s beautiful to see how our instinct to love and feel comes from within. There is nothing evil within the nature God placed inside each of us. However, evil can influence and taint what God intended for good.

You’re going to lose your temper and get angry, it’s human nature; but if you allow evil to come and use this in a negative way, you could hurt yourself and others.

Kim impatient... helps when giving a word because he just blurts it out w/o thinking, but at home impatience is bad because he won't let his wife finish a sentence.  

p 119 Breaking the Power of Self Prejudice

Self-prejudice simply means that you do not believe that God believes in you or what He believes about you.

This is the biggest problem I have when I am delivering an utterance to someone. They just cannot believe that God thinks enough of them to take the time to speak to them, yet alone that He has words of affirmation and approval for them. The first thing that I do is I tell them that God loves them just the way they are, and He thinks they are beautiful. Most people look at me and think that I have lost my mind. It’s almost impossible for someone to believe those words after a life of being beaten down with words of defeat and failure.

Sometimes self-prejudice affects the way God speaks to us. Too often God has to speak to us through dreams because our shame and insecurities won’t allow Him to get a word through to us face to face. Most people, when they are conscious, are focused on their needs and their pain, and these things dictate their perspective, so God will speak to them through a dream when they are not so aware of these things.

p 120 Hearing the divine whisper

God wants to help each of us grow in our communion with Him and understand that many things we may dismiss as fleeting, spontaneous thoughts or daydreams, may be actual images from Him, which He is using to communicate with us or initiate interaction. Often the ability to understand this is developed through prayer. As your mind seemingly wanders, it may actually be pollinating like a bee, touching on matters too difficult to access with our minds alone.

God doesn’t say much because He doesn’t need to. All He has to do is say one word, and it’s up to you to fill in the rest of the sentence. If the sentence is incorrect, God erases it and you start over again. If God whispers, “prosperity,” you have the choice to write “…will destroy me with greed and pride,” or you can choose to write, “…will delight God, and I will be empowered to assist humanity and extend His Kingdom.” When God speaks to you, and you act upon it, a force of progressive revelation takes over.

God’s voice is less frequently heard through the ear, although this can and does happen. Most of the time, however, you will hear Him through His “still, small voice,” as Elijah did (see 1 Kings 19:11). Many people wonder if the voice they hear is actually God or just their own voice, because what they hear sounds familiar, like their own voice.

Auditory sounds are not limited to words. I often hear and see things that are not verbal, yet they are God’s communication to me. (birds) 

Kinesthetic sensing is a modern term for discerning divine communications through physical sensation. It is a fascinating way to hear God. This involves movement, fragrances, temperature changes, and feelings of pain and other sensations. I sometimes feel the temperature change around my body as I enter a moment in someone’s past when they experienced a traumatic event. Similarly, I may feel heat, which can have several meanings, from an inspiration to minister to someone, to the presence of an angel. Likewise, I sometimes smell a fragrance or a stench, and these sensations also tell me something about the person I am standing in front of.

Many are longing to hear God and yet feel He is not speaking, when in fact He is actually speaking in numerous ways that they do not yet recognize. When God speaks to you, He will speak in a familiar voice. It will come from within you. We should be listening and feeling and looking within, and the reason I say that is because when God speaks to you, you don’t just hear a voice or see an image or feel a feeling. When God speaks, you hear and see and feel and understand all at once.

p 123 - Its coming from Within

this is the most comon.. in your secrtet place of your innermost being.. your  spirit.

after adam and eve disobeyed, gods' voe was no longer a voice, it has become just a sound.

we fear what we do not understand.  as humans it is our nature to run away from the things that are not familiar to us.

His intention for us is the same intention He had for Adam and Eve—to have dominion over the earth and to fill it with righteousness (see Gen. 1:28). When the wind of God comes to you, it has to contain His voice before any purpose can come out of it. Every day, as you hear God’s voice, your knowledge, wisdom, power, and abundance will increase. More importantly, God’s character will be formed in you.

p 124 Keep your eyes open

Sometimes you have to recognize his form before you can hear him.  (burning bush.. then the voice)  if you don't recognize him, you will miss him.  When Jesus walked on the water they thought he was a ghost.   he was where they least expected him   God will often come to us when we least expect it and will say things we least expect.

Like a radio it is up to us to tune in to find the right radio wave to hear his voice.  He doesn't suddenly start speaking.  His word is already in the atmosphere, and it is up to us to tune in

Chapter 6 Optical Fusion

3 levels of seeing you need to possess in order to have complete knowledge in your life

1) sight - natural field of vision or the way you see things through your natural eyes.  its the way you see yourself today in your present circumstances and surroundings.

2) insight - an extension to your natural field of vision and the capacity to see further and to discern the true nature of a situation.  It means we detect by senses other than natural vision, and it allows us to graph the hidden nature of things

3) foresight - the perception of events before they occur.  it is your ability to see beyond your present into your future - to see what god sees.  it is the highest degree of prophetic vision and allows you to begin acting in reference to the future.
