Anyone who has really walked with the Lord has gained an acute sense
of both God's voice and presence - not because they are a spiritual guru or super-spiritual person, but their steadfast
pursuit for growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ develops a keen sense of the Word of the Lord!
Charlene and I have learned that the best way to develop in both your "office" and in your spiritual gifts
(as the Lord wills), is "by reason of exercise and use", as it is clearly stated in the book of Hebrews.
Also, having a heart that desires to know the Father's heart on every matter in life that is of concern to
you personally, and to those we love and care about, will bring clarity to both His voice and His ways.
While
we continue to grow in confidence and become His mouthpiece at kairos moments, it is our sincere desire
to provide encouragement, edification and understanding where it may be lacking it in the Body of Christ. We should
NOT practice on others, but learn by reason of use and through our developing relationship with the Lord - what He has
released us to speak on His behalf.
To understand our doctrinal stand on the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as ambassadors and extensions of Christ's ministry in the earth- please go

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The
promptings of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in several of the attachments, were given to us for specific seasons, reasons and
God-ordained purposes.
Please be prayerful about ANY/ALL so-called prophetic utterance you receive, to ensure
that it lines up with God's word, does not violate any civil laws, or place you, or anyone else in imminent
danger physically or spiritually.
Cooperation with the Lord is our responsibility. Walking by faith and not
in presumption, is the key to walking in the spirit consistently and victoriously. The difference between faith and
presumption is, presumption reasons, analyzes and justifies behavior based on a wrong perception and woundedness of the soul
- so it cannot rightly divide the word of God, or properly align itself with godly counsel. Presumption normally
takes on the form of a renegade spirit, and violates the Law of Love due to fleshly selfish pursuits and
vain imaginations.
These words from the Lord will encourage you to stand on God's word, and learn to wait on
Him the right way. But, the specific direction your life goes is based upon many known (God's will) and
unknown factors (God's providence), as well as your present state of maturity and obedience to His daily dealings with
you!
Be blessed as you read!
