All right, you guys, welcome to our PATH session for December.
We're so excited about this one.
We need to get ready for the new year and the best way that we can get ready for 2025
is to be able to understand how God is speaking to us.
He's always speaking to us.
I was just reminiscing about the very first time that I realized God was talking to me.
Me.
He was talking to me.
I was 22 years old.
I had just given my life to Jesus and I, you know, I heard the Lord speaking to me.
You know, it was something that I had never experienced before.
I'm sure that there were plenty of times that God tried to speak to me before then.
And I'm and I'm sure I chalked it up to something else going on in my life or some other kind
of intuition or spirituality.
But this in this time, I knew that it was God talking to me.
And I remember going to my pastor, who actually happened to be in the car with at the time
I was traveling to an event with him and some other members of our church.
And I and I said, hey, this is what this is what I'm hearing inside of inside of my heart
and, you know, inside of inside of my head voice inside of, you know, that little voice
inside of you that you, you know, you talk to yourself.
Every one of us talk to ourselves inside of ourselves.
But it was saying things that I would never say to myself.
And so I checked it with him and it actually was not for me that God was talking to me
in that moment.
He was actually giving me some information about someone else.
And so we pulled off the side of the road and I listened to what the voice was telling
me to do.
And I ended up running into this girl, just as God said she where she would be and what
she would be doing.
And I was able to give her a very timely message from God that caused her to break down into
sobs and weeping.
She was on the way to the to the emergency room when we when we crossed paths with her
at the gas station.
God told us where she would be at the gas station, what she would be wearing, what car
she would be driving.
And we gave her the message from the Lord that that he was speaking to me.
And she was actually on her way to the emergency room because her father had had a heart attack.
And the message was about her father.
And it was just amazing.
You guys, it was incredible.
And I didn't have any experience.
You know, I was only 22 years old.
I barely knew Jesus.
I had just given my life to Christ.
And so it was life changing.
It changed my life to know that God not only, whoo, I'm going to tear up, not only does
God speak to us, but he wants he wants to speak to us.
He wants us to know that, you know, he loves us and he wants to communicate with us.
And it's just so powerful to know that.
And so I brought one of my bestest friends tonight, and she just happens to be not just
my favorite prophet, but so many other people's favorite prophets.
And she's one of the best prophetic trainers out there.
She's the co-founder of The Prophetic Company.
She's the author of several books, one of which we are going to link tonight that you
can on this very subject on how is God speaking to me?
What are the ways that I hear from God?
What are the receptors in which I use to download that information that God is speaking
to me?
How is he speaking to me?
And, you know, specifically, personally.
And she makes it so simple and she makes it so easy to understand.
That is her gift to be able to as a prophet, to help other people grow in their prophetic
relationship with God.
And of course, learning to hear what God's saying to you and learning to what he wants
to say through you to others will change your life.
And so without further ado, and that book's called The God Connection.
We're going to give all we're to put the link in all of our groups.
She has another amazing book called Own Your Assignment.
Ladies, especially for you.
That is a powerful book as well.
And so without further to do a do or to do, Bethany Hicks.
Awesome, thank you, Jackie.
It's good to be with all of you guys.
I think, I don't know if I'm being featured yet, but did you find me, Bethany, on the,
on the, I know I'm trying to talk here so you guys can find me.
Hello, everybody.
We can.
Yeah.
Good to see you guys.
And yes, I'll just let them figure it out.
I'm used to kind of running the whole ship too.
So this is great that other people are navigating this for me.
Hey guys.
It's so good to be with you and Jackie.
Yes.
Very dear friend and hello and, and I'm excited to be with you guys tonight.
I know we don't have a long time, so I want to make sure we just jump into it.
today because I want to be able to do as many activations and set up as many biblical bases
as possible.
But I'll just give you guys a little bit of background about me as far as my own prophetic
journey.
You know, I grew up in a prophetic church.
I grew up with a church that believed in prophecy, but it often looked like when, and when I
say prophecy, just because I realized that there's hundreds of people on here with very
different definitions of what the prophetic is and what prophecy is.
And very simply put, prophecy is just learning to recognize and respond to the voice of God
and then sharing what God is saying to someone else in love.
So actually God is speaking to every believer.
Every single person is actually hardwired to be able to recognize the voice of God.
Every single one of you can see him.
You can hear him.
You can sense him.
You can perceive him, but really prophecy by definition is a gift biblically and biblically
a gift must be given in a way.
And so a lot of times people think what God is speaking to them is the gift and honestly
we all have that ability.
Every single person can hear God's voice and sense his presence and see what he's saying.
But when you share with another person what God is saying in order to encourage, strengthen
or comfort them, that's when it becomes the gift of prophecy.
And I'm going to talk about that a little bit more as well as kind of go into some ways
that we can learn how God is speaking to us.
But back to kind of my background, I grew up in a prophetic church that believed in
the gift of prophecy, but it often looked like where the prophets would come to town
maybe once a year and we would do these, what was called like presbytery events, which is
a Greek word for just a gathering of elders and prophets to prophesy over different people
within the church.
And so then people, they would prophesy and choose different people from the church and
prophesy over them.
So that happened about once a year.
And then there'd be other times where during like a worship, corporate worship setting,
there might be a little bit of spontaneous music happening in between the songs.
And all of a sudden someone from the back row, you'd hear this, thus saith the Lord,
you know, and depending on what area you grew up in, you might hear more King James than,
you know, maybe the New Living Translation these days.
And so you kind of hear this popcorn prophecy.
And I remember as I was growing up, I never doubted that God spoke to us, but even how
it was modeled to me with the prophets coming once a year, and then maybe it was the leaders
or the elders that were prophesying, it felt like the gift of prophecy was available, but
it was only available to the spiritually elite.
It was only available to the leaders or the pastors or those that were maybe had been
saved a long time, maybe had some kind of spiritual pedigree or something like that.
And so now having trained thousands of people on six continents, how to recognize and respond
to the voice of God, I want to encourage you today that there is more people on the earth
prophesying than ever before.
And we believe that we are moving in this season, this prophetic era, we're moving from
prophetic celebrities to prophetic communities.
And not to say that the prophetic celebrities, we don't need them anymore.
Honestly, we so esteem and value what fathers and mothers have carried.
They've really carried the torch of prophecy for generations when it wasn't really accepted.
But in Joel 2.28, it says that God's dream was to pour out his spirit on all flesh so
that every son and daughter could prophesy.
Come on, God's dream is not so that his spirit would be poured out on just the select few,
on those that have the higher spiritual Bible degree or those that are especially gifted.
God's dream is that every son and daughter would have access to his voice, to be able
to know his thoughts, to know his heart, and to be able to know his voice clearly so that
they can not only connect with their God, connect with the Lord, but also be able to
share his heart with the world around them.
And so a lot of times when I'm training publicly, I love to tell people like, hey, just turn
to the person next to you and say, you've got a lot of flesh.
Like when scripture says in Joel that God poured his spirit on all flesh, flesh is the
qualifier.
Like with you know Jesus and you have flesh, you qualify.
You have the ability to know the voice of God.
And so again, one of the ways that we train people, and I really always start with this,
we actually have in prophetic...
company. I'm not going to go deep into this, but I'm just going to share real quickly. Our three
prophetic values is the accessibility of God's voice. Everyone can prophesy. If you're hearing
my voice right now and you're like, well, everyone else can, but I can't. I want to tell you today
that that is a lie from the pit of hell, trying to keep you from your birthright as a believer,
which is to know the voice of God. Every single believer can prophesy. Every one of you
is literally wired to know the voice of God, to be able to recognize his voice. We're going to go
into the practical ways and activations later on on how to do that.
Secondly, our value is accountability. This is where a lot of people have really gotten
off the rails because not only are we created to be able to give a prophetic word,
because now we have the Holy Spirit living within us. We have the voice of God
accessible to us by the Holy Spirit. Also by the Holy Spirit, we have a responsibility to
test and judge every single prophetic word we receive. This is probably where most people
have gotten either misused or there's been an abuse of prophecy or manipulation
is because they didn't understand their responsibility to test the word, to not just
blindly receive every prophetic word. When somebody walks up to you and says, I have a word
for you. And it's like, you're not supposed to blindly receive that because you actually have
the Holy Spirit within you. We actually like to say it like this. We say that in a prophetic
exchange, the receiver is as powerful as the giver. In fact, I believe that the receiver is
more powerful than the giver in a prophetic exchange because it's your agreement with that
word that will allow it to stick to your life or not. I have a friend because I know this particular
group and the focus on marriage and family. I have a friend whose mother had a friend,
and this was years and years ago. And this woman, this is probably like, I don't know,
60 years ago, this woman had received a prophetic word that she was supposed to marry this man.
And she didn't understand that this accountability value that she had a responsibility to test and
judge this word. She didn't love this man. She didn't really even like this man. They didn't
really have anything in common. And, and there was nothing and she wasn't attracted to him,
but she wanted to be obedient because, you know, she got a word from the Lord. She wanted to be
obedient. So she ended up marrying this man and it ended up being a terrible marriage. He was,
I think he was even like abusive to some level. She ended up getting divorced from this man and
ended up being single her entire life. And, you know, someone might look at that and be like,
oh, that's so sad. She should have tried harder. She should have made it work. You know, and
obviously we all know marriage can be a challenge. There's things that we have to work through,
but I want to encourage you on both fronts of this. You know, we really are careful about
giving words to people about dates, mates, and babies, right? You got to be responsible,
but you also have to be responsible as the receiver of the word. Okay. This woman's problem
was that she didn't actually test this prophetic word. She didn't test this prophetic word with
loved ones, with leaders. Again, you have to make sure you filter it through, you know, how do you
test a prophetic word? Well, there's kind of four criteria here. I'm going to go through it really
briefly. I know I'm, I'm fire hosing you guys right now, but I want to really help you guys
grow in maturity within the prophetic. And so the four criteria for discerning a prophetic word is
number one, God will never give a word that contradicts his nature and his character.
All right. She's never going to give a word that's going to speak fear or hopelessness or
depression or discouragement or anything like that. And so again, I have a friend who received
a prophetic word about how, when I say prophetic word in quotes, you guys got what I'm saying here
where she had had COVID. This is a few years ago. I get, I get that everybody's had COVID,
but this was like two years down the road. So it was a weaker strain, but it still took her out
for a couple of weeks as she received a prophetic word that God had given her COVID because he
missed spending time with her and, and she had been too busy lately. And so he gave her COVID
so she could retreat and rest in the Lord. Now, my friend understood these protocols and her
responsibility to test and judge a prophecy. And hopefully that makes you a little bit triggered
if you heard something like that, but do you know why, you know, you have to think through like,
well, why would this bother me? Well, the question is this, and this goes back to
I just shared with you of the first criteria, it cannot contradict the character and nature
of God.
Does God ever give sickness to us?
No, that is not his character or his nature.
He is the healer.
He is Jehovah Rapha.
He's actually our healer.
He is not the deliverer of sickness.
And so if anybody gives a prophetic word about sickness or something like that, you can immediately
what I like to say, flush that word like a toilet.
Okay.
Cause that's a good question.
Like, what do you do if you receive a prophetic word that is not according to God's care?
I'm going to share with that a little bit later.
So anyways, number one, it can't contradict the character and nature of God.
Number two, it can't contradict scripture.
Can't counter scripture.
Okay.
So everything that we receive, we have to at least see the principles, the godly principles
and what God is communicating through his word.
Now does that mean every word you receive has to be somewhere in the Bible?
Not necessarily.
Like for example, let's say you receive a prophetic word where like, I just feel like
the Lord wants to give you a new vehicle, a new car.
Like there's something that the Lord is speaking about vehicles.
Well, there's no automobiles in the Bible cause they hadn't been invented yet.
But the principles, that's where you go to the principles of scripture.
Does it violate a principle in scripture?
And so, um, you guys is going off in the chat section.
I want to make sure I don't get distracted here, but maybe we'll have time to answer
some Q and a at the end, uh, through some of your comments.
But again, so back to this, this protocol for cars, it's like, you know, you could say
there's no cars in the Bible, but you know, there's scripture that say, delight yourself
in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart, that he's a good father.
He knows how to give good gifts to his children.
And so again, that, that kind of a word would not contradict or counter scripture.
So you want to make sure that doesn't, um, it doesn't contradict the character and nature
of God.
It won't counter scripture.
Number three, uh, three, we would say, does that word resonate with the Holy spirit within
you?
Sometimes you'll receive a word and it's like, maybe, maybe you don't know the answers or
how that word's going to come forth, but there is like a, an agreement in your spirit.
That's actually your Holy, the Holy spirit inside of you is resonating with the Holy
spirit speaking to you through another person.
So that's another way that we can test and judge.
And then the fourth way is through loved ones and leaders.
We want to bring words, especially that are major life changes like moving, you know,
geographical jobs, um, things like that.
So you want to bring those to loved ones and leaders and just say, Hey, I received
this word.
What do you think?
Is this bearing witness with you?
A lot of times the word could be right, but the timing or the season might not be what
you're thinking.
And so bringing it to loved ones and leaders can really help you navigate the timing of
that word in a, uh, in a right way.
So again, those are ways that we can learn to test and judge the prophetic words.
Really important.
I can probably say this, that I'd say about 80% of all misuse, abuse, misapplication of
prophecy would come down to a violation of one of these values, especially, um, the accountability
value that people just didn't understand that not only is it your right, it's your responsibility
to test and judge prophecy.
And then again, that third value, which we're going to go over here in just a second is
the diversity value.
And this says that everyone receives and gives uniquely in scripture talks about how to each
one is given grace for the unique calling that we each have.
And so there's actually multiple ways that God speaks to every single one of you where
again, we're all hardwired to receive his voice on multiple fronts, but not only are
we wired to hear him and see him and sense him and perceive him.
There's actually multiple ways, diverse ways that we can release a prophecy.
Speaking a prophecy is just one way.
Um, we can also write out a prophetic word.
Scripture talks about prophetic acts, others, prophetic intercession, prophetic worship.
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is prophetic gifts for people.
And so again, there's multiple ways to receive and there's multiple ways to give.
So that's just a real brief overview of our values at prophetic camp company.
Every one of you can prophesy.
Every one of you has access to the voice of God.
Every one of you is created to test and judge.
We are going to be a.
accountable with both the words we give, but also we want to be accountable to the words
we're receiving, especially tonight.
And as we move forward now, let me just answer this question real quick.
What happens if you receive a word that violates one of those protocols?
Well, we like to say it like this.
All you have to do is simply like flush that word like a toilet.
Like, you know, sometimes it helps.
We kind of joke around, like get your little flushing finger out and just go like, you
know, my friend that received that word about how God had given her COVID sickness to draw
her close to him.
It's like, you know, you don't have to be rude to people.
Like people are learning, people are learning to hear God's voice and share it.
But this is why it's so much more important to train people to be able to test and judge
a word.
So, you know, if you receive a word, all you have to just do is like, Lord, I don't come
into agreement with that word because that violates your nature or that violates your
word.
So don't flush it in Jesus name.
Sometimes it helps to make the flushing noise, maybe not in front of the person.
You know, you don't want to be like, you don't want to do that, but it does help to just
like, like, Lord, I realized they're trying.
So I'm just going to not come into agreement with that word.
And then you continue to just move on with your day.
So it's that simple.
Okay.
So let's talk a little bit now about the different ways that God speaks to us.
Now Jackie had referenced this in my book, The God Connection.
And I'll just give you a screenshot of what that looks like right there.
This is my book, The 12 Ways That You're Hardwired To Know God's Voice.
And I'm going to share with you, honestly, guys, this is going to be such a Costco size
sampler platter with our time.
We literally spend about 40 weeks training trainers to do this.
In fact, I noticed that we have some of our trainers in here as well, but we literally
spend 40 weeks deep diving into this.
And I'm going to give you like just a little bite Costco size sampler platter of the different,
some of the different receptors, hoping to bring some clarification.
And we're definitely, definitely going to do some activations in our time today.
We'll just see how many we can get done.
And if we don't get through them all, maybe we can come back after the new year and finish
them.
But let me throw up this slide for you guys right now.
And then this is what we would call our receptors, okay?
This is the language that Prophetic Company has really developed.
Now many of you have heard of these four primary ways, okay?
The four primary is seeing, hearing, sensing, and perceiving, okay?
So those, honestly, those four primary ways have been around for decades and generations.
You've heard from a lot of different speakers that would share that.
And you might be like, well, Bethany, you said 12 receptors.
I'm only seeing four.
Well, if you notice that triangle in the middle, that is something that is unique to Prophetic
Company that we have developed to clarify even more, because honestly, our heart is
to clarify what a lot of people, it's just kind of mystical or it feels really confusing.
I feel like a lot of people's language in the prophetic only confuses people more than
clarifies for them.
And so in our time today, I'm really hoping that we can clarify at least for you how you're
wired to hear God's voice.
So every single person can see him, hear him, sense him, and perceive him.
Now what are those three words in the triangle?
This would be the three dimensions, the external, the internal, and the mystical dimension.
Now all we did was you take each of those dimensions and you apply it to each of the
four receptors.
So you multiply it and that would be your 12 receptors.
So you have external seeing, internal seeing, mystical seeing, external hearing, internal
hearing, and so forth.
Now the external dimension is when you are experiencing God's voice, seeing, hearing,
sensing, perceiving in the natural created realm.
All right.
So this is where, again, we're seeing God speak through creation.
We're seeing him speak through different ways.
I'm going to go through, again, all four of these a little bit deeper in just a moment.
But for now, I just want to clarify internal is the dimension or the realm of the inner
man, or some would say like the soul realm.
It would be that inner man.
So that, for example, the inner internal scene would be like seeing a vision in your imagination
or a picture, or, uh, you know, sometimes people experience, um, other like open visions
or things like that.
So they're seeing that internal hearing would be hearing that still small voice.
Um, and again, there's different ways that you can hear, hear God internally.
So again, external is the natural realm, internal would be the inner man.
And then the mystical don't get thrown off by that word.
Um, I know that, um, that word can, can cause some concern, but I want to encourage you
that it comes from an ancient, ancient Eastern religion called Christianity.
All right.
So in the Bible, the word mystical is not used.
However, the Greek word for mystery is mysterion.
Um, and it basically means to unveil or to reveal what has been hidden.
And so when we were thinking and we were just clarifying this language, we really just had,
we couldn't land on a better word than mystical, which really speaks to physically experiencing
the spirit realm.
So in the context of seeing, this is where you would be physically seen with your natural
eyes, uh, the spirit realm.
Like I know people that regularly can see angels.
They can see, um, even some of the demonic, they can see the spirit realm, the interactions.
Uh, some people in the mystical hearing that would be physically hearing again, the spirit
realm.
Some people have heard the voice of God, or maybe they've heard, um, they've heard angels
singing in worship.
They've heard angels talk to them.
So again, there's, there's different levels of that.
So you've got the external, which is, um, again, connected to the natural created realm,
the internal dimension, which is the inner man.
The mystical is really where that the spirit realm overlays itself on the, on the physical
realm.
And you're physically experiencing the spirit realm.
Now I want to say something.
This is really important here.
Okay.
All three of these dimensions are equally spiritual.
All right.
A lot of times people will think like, Oh, well, if I started external, then I can graduate
to internal.
And maybe one day I'll be mystical.
No, all three of these are equally spiritual.
It is as spiritual to hear God speak to you through an angel that you can see as God can
speak to you through a sunset.
All right.
We have got to start, um, we have to start leveling the playing field so that we can
start appreciating the different ways that God is speaking to us.
So first of all, all of these ways are equally spiritual.
And secondly, you are not just one receptor.
We hear this language sometimes like, well, I'm a seer or I'm a hearer or I'm a feeler.
And, and I understand what people are saying.
We often have a default.
Um, we often have a default or like that we're more wired or bent towards, but honestly you're
created to experience the voice of God on the full broadband of his voice.
Like God is not just a vanilla God.
He's not just speaking in one way.
He's speaking in multiple ways that you are created to recognize his voice on.
And so for me, like over the years, I would say I was maybe a primary like knower, um,
which would be another word for perceiver, perceiver or knower.
I was a price primary knower and probably like internal seer.
But now because I practice, I can, I have learned to recognize and regularly activate
all of the ways that God is speaking to me.
And this is what I want.
This is what I really want to pass down to you guys today is that every single one of
you is created the same way.
Now, you know, when I hear Jackie, when Jackie starts sharing about how God is speaking to
her, you know, a lot of times I've talked to her and I think, I believe that she's,
I don't know if she's still on here, but like, you know,
I think she's maybe like a primary, like internal hearer, but she also gets pictures and she
has a knower as well.
And so when you understand these are the different ways that God speaks to you, then we can learn
to respond quicker to his voice.
One of the things that we learned from Graham Cook, who's an amazing prophet and teacher,
he said this, he says, when you do by intention, what you've done by intuition, you achieve
acceleration.
When you do by intention, what you've done by intuition, you achieve acceleration.
And what that means is like, I believe all of you have been intuitively experiencing
the voice of God, but maybe you just didn't know that that was his voice.
And so my prayer for you tonight is when I even go through some of these.
maybe as you read my book and go deeper,
it'll be like this light switch gets flipped on
in your spirit and you're gonna be like,
oh my gosh, that was the voice of God.
I didn't know that was you speaking to me all this time,
but now I know.
And then the next time he speaks to you that way,
you can partner with him more quickly,
respond in quicker obedience,
and then you'll see an acceleration
of that promise in your life.
So again, we are all hardwired.
We are all created to experience the voice of God
in all of those.
Now, I'll just mention this really quickly
that Jesus was all four of these receptors.
I'll throw this slide back up, but Jesus was a seer.
He said in John 5, 19, he said,
I only do what I see my father doing.
So Jesus obviously could see what the father was doing
and that's what he would do.
We also know that Jesus was a hearer.
He said, these words I speak are not my own.
So he was speaking words that he was hearing
from his father.
We also know that Jesus was a feeler.
In Hebrews 4, 15, it says that Jesus was touched
with the feeling of our infirmities,
the feeling he was touched.
He could physically feel our infirmities
and he was able to connect with that prophetically.
And then fourthly, Jesus was a perceiver.
In Luke 5, 22, it says that when Jesus perceived
their thoughts, he answered them and said,
why are you reasoning in your hearts?
Now, word perceiver, again, in the Greek
is the word eponigosko and it means to know thoroughly
or to know accurately.
It means to know it in your knower.
So to perceive, it's like when you know it in your knower,
there's a deep conviction that's not related
to any of your other senses, it's just like, you know it.
It's in, it's a conviction of the will.
And I'm sure many of you guys know what I'm talking about.
It's like, I don't know why I know it, I just know.
I know that I know that I know.
Now, I wanna point out to you that Jesus modeled
all four of these.
He was a seer, a hearer, a censor and a perceiver,
but he modeled all four of these as a man, not as God.
He was God in the flesh, he was man,
but everything Jesus did on earth,
he was doing it as a man filled with the spirit
and what is available to Jesus is available to you.
And so again, we are all created to do this.
In fact, I believe every single one of you
have experienced more than one of these,
but our goal in today's training is really to move
from that intuition to that intention
so that we can recognize the voice of God even quicker
and so that we can actually start connecting with him
on a deeper level.
So let me kind of break down some of these receptors
and I'm gonna see if I can do this real quickly.
Just again, I'm just gonna kind of touch on some of these.
I can't go through all 12 of the receptors
because again, we don't really have that much time
to do all 12, but I am gonna give you a brief taste
so you guys can start activating with this,
but I'm gonna give you guys just from now,
for maybe just a couple of minutes,
I'm gonna share a biblical basis about one of the receptors
and then I'm gonna give you a practical example
on how you can see this in your life
and then we're gonna go into breakout rooms
and you guys are gonna start practicing the prophesying
in this particular way.
So let me start right now with that external scene,
just as far as the external scene
in the natural created realm,
or maybe I'll, let me think here, external.
Yeah, I'll start in the external.
Are you guys doing okay?
Everyone doing okay?
Yeah?
Thumbs up.
Okay, cool.
You're not falling asleep, are you?
Yeah, it's too much fun.
It's one of my favorite things on, yeah.
I know, Alicia, I'm sorry that you feel overwhelmed.
I literally gave you a fire hose of values and protocols,
but I think it's gonna start really clicking right now
when I go into the receptors, okay?
So let me talk a little bit right now, guys,
about seeing, okay?
So there are two prophetic questions
in the Old Testament that we see throughout the Bible
that God trained some of his prophets,
and these were the two questions.
He would say, what do you see?
And then the second question that would be asked
is what does it mean, okay?
In fact, we see this at least-
Oh.
three times in the prophets in the Old Testament were trained this way, where I think someone's
mic is on. So we saw at least three times prophets in the Old Testament were trained
this way, where God would come to them and he would say, son of man, what do you see?
You know, we see this with Jeremiah in Jeremiah one, where God came to him and said, Jeremiah,
what do you see? And he said, you know, imagine Jeremiah on his front porch, he's looking
around his surroundings. And then he says, I see the rod of an almond branch. And the
Lord says, you have seen correctly for I'm watching over my word to perform it. So here,
Jeremiah is just going about his day and the Lord's like, what do you see? What is catching
your eye? Now, let me give you a key to all of the external dimension and how it applies
to all the receptors. It's found in Romans one 20, which says that since the creation
of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature have been
clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that people are without, exist
without excuse. What that scripture is saying is that every created thing is encoded with
the voice of God. Everything created literally has a quality of God's eternal power and
his divine nature. So for those who have eyes to see in the created realm, we could recognize
his voice. The world around us is revealing the voice of God to us. And so here the Lord
is speaking to Jeremiah and he says, Hey, what do you see? And he's like, I see the
rod of an almond branch. The Lord's like, you have seen well, but it wasn't just creation
that God spoke through. God actually spoke through created things as well, because later
on God tells Jeremiah, he says, go down to the potter's house and I'm going to speak
to you there through what the potter is making. So Jeremiah goes down as the potter is shaping
the clay. So here's Jeremiah. He's externally seeing a clay being shaped into a pot. And
the Lord starts to speak up to speak into a prophetic word about how he's shaping and
forming Israel. So these are some examples of how God speaks to us through the external
scene. So that first question for us to ask is what do you see? And practically that can
look like, what are your eyes drawn to? And this really has to do with intentionality.
You guys know the story in Exodus three, three, where Moses is going about his day. He's doing
what he's done every day for 40 years as a shepherd in the desert. He's just taking his
sheep through the desert. And one day something caught his eye. He started to see something
that caught his eye and it was that burning bush. And the scripture says that Moses, when
he saw the burning bush, he turned aside to look to see why the bush did not burn.
And when the Lord saw Moses turned aside, it says that the Lord spoke to him. This is
the key I want you guys to catch. Okay. Is that like the first question is like, what
are your eyes drawn to? Have you guys ever maybe like walked up to somebody or walked
into a room and something caught your eye? Well, it could be that that is a burning bush
that the Lord is using to try to draw you into a greater conversation. All right. And
so just like this burning bush where Moses, it caught his eye, but it wasn't until he
interacted, he turned aside from what he was doing to see what, what the meaning of it
was that the Lord spoke. And so that's really that second part is like when something catches
your eye or we're looking intentionally at something, we're asking the Holy Spirit, we're
asking the Lord, Lord, what is it you are speaking through this thing that I'm seeing?
A couple of years ago, actually it's been more than that. It's probably been like six
or seven years ago. Now we were with a team and we were in England ministering to some
leaders. And at the time there was a couple that was standing up, actually receiving a
word from another team member. And I noticed that the man had a purple shirt on and his
wife had like a Royal blue dress. Now it wasn't like regalia or anything like that. They were
just wearing department store clothing. But as I was looking at them, okay, my eyes were
drawn to the color and I've learned to pay attention when that happens. So I started
to ask the Lord about that.
I'm like, Lord, what do these colors mean? What is it you're speaking? And I felt like the Lord
was speaking to me about royalty, about how those colors, that deep blue and that purple really
speaks royalty to me. So I'm starting to kind of process this with the Lord and get this word
about how this couple is called to be royalty. Now, the funny thing is, is I was actually
arguing with the Lord internally. I was like, okay, God, we're all royalty. Like it'd be like
going up to someone and be like, you're a child of God. Like, it just felt like a really generic
word. And I was like, can you just give me a really good word? Cause royalty is just too generic.
And like, I just couldn't get anything else. That was just what I got. So I just,
I started to share with this couple. I said, Hey, I feel like the Lord is saying that you guys are
royalty, that you're called to walk with Kings and Queens. And, and I even remember saying,
I was like, in fact, I said, I know that we're all royalty, but you really are royalty. Like I
really wanted to hammer down that they were special and they were specialty royalty. I don't
know why. So I went on and I shared some other things. Uh, when the meeting was over, the man
came forward and he was like, does she know who I am? And we're like, of course not. I don't know.
We don't, don't ever do that. You know? I'm like, I have no idea who this person is. And, um, and
he shared that he actually is an ambassador for an African King. And, uh, he was used to walking
on the arms of the Kings and meeting other leaders of nations. And there had recently been a coup
in that particular nation and they, him and his wife had been exiled.
And so he had just been processing them with the Lord. Like, will I ever walk with Kings and
Queens again? Will I ever like function in this role that you call to me too? And so here was
this word that was like speaking to his identity within royalty. And then he shared, and he said,
does she know who my wife is? And we're like, no. And, and he's like, my wife is the daughter
of the King. She literally was the princess of the nation. She actually was the royalty.
So that would explain why I was like, but you really are royalty. But this is what I want you
to catch. Like God released this life-changing word over a very simple picture. It was just the
color of the clothing that they were wearing. And it sparked that invitation into a greater
conversation with the Holy spirit, where I asked the Lord, Lord, what is it that you are speaking
through these colors that you want to encourage these people with? And so again, that is some
of the ways that we can hear, or we can see God speaking to us. So this is what we're going to do
in our first activation. And, you know what, I know there's a lot of people on here who have
their, their screens off. If you're going to be participating, can you turn your screens on
so we can make sure that everybody is in a room with somebody who's participating.
Yeah. So just kind of turn your screens on. This could be really helpful. And then Bethany,
as you are creating breakout rooms, let's just maybe set it up for three, just in case people
don't show up or something like that. Okay. I think that would be helpful, but let me explain
to you guys what we're going to do for our first activation in a minute. But before I do that,
I'm going to give you, honestly, I'm just going to give you one protocol for the prophetic words
you give. Okay. Every word you give must be, I'm going to just throw, I'm just, according to
first Corinthians 14, three, I'm just, it's just the first line right now. Well, it needs to be
encouraging, strengthening, or comforting. Prophecy is the only gift that has very clear protocols.
Okay. And in first Corinthians 14, three, it says that prophecy is to, to strengthen,
to encourage, to comfort. And so we like to say it like this. If you don't know if the word you're
going to give is encouraging, strengthening, or comforting, you're going to take your hand.
You're going to put it on your head and you're going to give yourself the word. And if you don't
like it, don't give it to anyone else. All right. Cause where you want to operate within the law
of love. And so again, the words that you give are going to be encouraging, strengthening,
or comforting. Now I realize many of you, this is very new, but that's okay. I'm going to give
you guys a prompt right now based on external scenes. So for those of you, as we're getting
the room set up, what I want you to do, I want you to look around the room that you're in right
now. And I want you to look around and see what catches your eye and, and don't try to figure
out the word is yet. Just look around to see what catches your eye. You know, I mean, it could be
anything. I've got tape here. I've got this.
Pen, I've got my mouse, you know, try not to go for the overly obvious, you know, we've got like
You know Christian sayings in the back here, which is awesome
but you know, and maybe the Lord is speaking to that, but I'm just saying like
Doesn't have to be that overt. Okay
We're learning to recognize God speaking through all created things if God can speak through a pot to Jeremiah
He can speak through a pair of glasses to you. So the first thing you're gonna do is look around
And just kind of see what catches your eye and when something catches your eye, you know
I want you to do this then you're gonna ask the Lord
Lord
What is it that you're speaking through this particular thing that you want to encourage strengthen or comfort?
My partner in this breakout room. So the Lord the breakout rooms have already been created
God already knows who your partner is
And so you're gonna speak an encouraging word based on what you're seeing now
One more set of directions here if you are in a group with three people
What I want you to do is what's called a round-robin. Okay, so if me and Jackie and
Bethany the other Bethany we're all in a room then I would prophesy over Jackie
Jackie would prophesy over Bethany and then Bethany would prophesy over me got it
so we're gonna just make sure that everybody has an opportunity to give a word and
Everybody that
Everybody has an opportunity who to receive a word if you can't do the breakouts
Don't accept the invitation to go into the breakout room
That will just just stay in this main room and that'll just allow us to know who's actually participating who's not right now
Okay, so again, you're looking around your room. What catches your eye?
You're gonna share an encouraging word with your partner and here's your last instruction
We are going to be
according to our fourth protocol brief and amazing that means you will only have about
90-seconds each to prophesy
Over your partner. All right, so that doesn't give you time to like pray in the spirit for two hours
Or to wait for this the dove to ascend upon you to call the minstrel and play a song while you get in the mood
It's like no
I'm we are activating the faith because you already have the spirit of the Living God living inside of you
You are already hardwired to know his voice
What we're doing right now is learning how to activate our faith
and so we're learning to recognize God speaking in the natural created realm and then we're
Activating our faith by sharing an encouraging word through that particular item so that our partner is blessed
Alright, so we're gonna go into breakout rooms. Everyone's gonna have about 90 seconds
I think what we'll probably do once we go into the rooms is maybe Bethany we can send a broadcast
Via chat like every 90 seconds and just be like, okay. It's the next person's turn. Okay. It's the third person's turn
Can we do that? Yeah. All right guys long how long total do we want to just so is that like yeah, let's do it
Five minutes, okay that gives people time to get in the room
Oh, let's do this too because sometimes people are like who should go first
Okay, the first person is gonna prophesy is the person with the longest hair in
The group. All right, so all those that are like have no hair. They're like praise the Lamb
Okay, but if you have the longest hair in the group, you're gonna be the first person to prophesy
You can choose who you're gonna prophesy over so that also gives you a benefit if there's three in there
So here come your breakout
Breakout rooms you guys have fun. He's already speaking to you. You're just learning some of the ways that he is
You
They're almost situated I have to set a couple more people in
Now I get it I do this every week you're doing great
You
It's okay if people don't have their screen on as long as they're gonna participate
But I just wanted to make sure that I know a lot of people are just listening. So
Hey, Bethany, I got into a room and I was the only person there.
You
Yeah, it's because we were situating other people.
So did you leave?
I'll go back.
Okay, awesome.
I'm the only one also.
Okay, Mel, you got to go back to that room and we can move you around, okay?
I'm sorry.
How do I go there?
Okay, okay.
I saw it now.
Okay.
Kristen, Suzanne, and Elizabeth, are you all just not going into breakout?
Or did you all come back?
I came back because there was no one in there.
I stayed for like a minute.
Okay, yeah, we have to get everyone situated.
So are you able to click to go back to that room?
I was by myself.
Okay.
Why don't you guys do each other in the main room right now?
That's fine too.
Yep.
So who is it then here?
Suzanne and Kristen are here.
Okay, sweet.
Sounds good.
I can start since we don't have a lot of time.
So the thing that I saw, Kristen, was this little,
I'll just kind of show it to you if I can get on the screen.
It's just a picture frame that was up here in this room of my goddaughter.
But that's what stood out to me right away and I saw it.
And I just felt like the person in that picture is just super,
super important to me and a very special part of my family.
I just felt like God was maybe saying something about his heart for you,
for family and the family he has for you that he's going to,
that he maybe currently has or is going to place you in,
but just your heart for family.
I feel like God sees that.
And the second thing that caught my eye is I can't read it fully,
but on her shirt, it looks like it says dry goods.
I'm not sure, but I felt like the Lord was saying like,
maybe if you are in or you've been in a season now,
or if one comes where you just feel like it's that kind of dry
wilderness season,
but the Lord is promising his goodness is near in that.
And he's never left you.
And he never will lead you in any dry seasons.
You might experience in your life.
That's what I got.
Thank you, Suzanne. I really received that.
I,
my eye was drawn to a little basket that has these like
really deep red winter berries.
And so it just looks like so beautiful against the green.
And so I was just thinking.
That, you know, sometimes.
This, this striking beauty that also is fruit.
That was like in this little basket, like even during like some of the.
The starkest seasons, like he's able to bring out just beautiful,
vibrant fruit.
And I just kept thinking of the word vibrant too.
Like that.
I got to do something vibrant in you no matter what you're going through right now.
Come on.
I love that.
That's good.
Hey, I'm giving them Bethany, just like another minute because we had several that kept popping back into the brain.
Yeah, no problem.
Come back in two seconds.
There.
Do something vibrant in you no matter what you're going through right now.
Come on.
I love that. That's good. I received that.
Okay.
I'm giving them Bethany,
just like another minute because we had several that kept popping back
into the room.
Yeah, no problem.
Okay.
So I thought probably it's because of my iPad.
Sorry, I got out of the room. I supposed to be in room 48.
I don't know, something is not working well or...
And there, there was nobody else.
So that's what I got off the room.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Yeah, it's okay, Lulisa.
Thank you.
All right, they're going to start to come back here in a little bit, like 30 seconds.
Great.
All right, guys, everyone will be back here in just a couple of minutes or a couple of
seconds here.
Great.
Welcome back.
Okay.
All right, everyone's just checking back.
We've got...
Wow, there's a lot of people that went.
That's great.
All right.
Welcome back, everyone.
Hey, let's just check in real quick before we move along.
How many of you would say that the word you received really did, like, was encouraging
to you, really spoke to you?
I'm not...
Well, I know you gave great words, but how many of you guys genuinely received?
Awesome.
I'm going to put, like, a shout out in the chat section about what stood out to you to
that word.
But look at all those hands, guys.
Come on.
It looks to me like the Spirit of the Lord was poured out on all flesh and that every
son and daughter can prophesy.
Like, hello, that was just the first activation.
If we were to continue doing the same one, we would continue to see those kinds of testimonies.
And I just want to thank the Lord that, like, He's speaking, and let's just celebrate His
goodness there.
Again, one of the other things, I forgot to mention this, but when you guys go into your
next breakout room, make sure you record your prophetic word because you're going to want
to listen to it again and just be encouraged by what the Lord is speaking to you.
So, okay, we can put our digital hands down.
You guys are awesome.
And many of you are putting...
I actually heard some of the words.
We had a few ladies that were left in the main session and their words were great.
I thought they did a great job just kind of hearing what God was speaking through, what
they were seeing in the room.
So again, this is just one way, you guys, one way that God speaks to you.
But now that you know that He can speak through what catches your eye, what you're seeing
in the natural created realm, I just feel like, how much more is God going to speak
to you when you leave this?
It's going to be like a treasure hunt when you walk out of this Zoom today.
One of the things we'd like to say is the challenge is not getting God to speak.
The challenge is learning to recognize all the ways that God is speaking.
God is a communicating God, and He knows how to communicate with His children.
And so again, we're learning to recognize the ways that He's already speaking to us.
So we just quickly covered, again, that external scene realm.
If I was to do an internal scene activation, that would be, again, kind of those internal
pictures, the imaginations, dreams, when you have dreams at night, that would also
fall into that internal scene realm when God speaks to you through internal dreams.
So that's real fun as well.
Now let's talk a little bit about hearing.
I'm just going to talk actually about internal, let's do an internal dimension activation.
But hearing, of course, is, you know, how many of you guys have ever like listened to,
how many of you guys have seen the Charlie Brown cartoon, like where you've been listening
to someone talking, but then you suddenly realized you weren't paying attention to what
they were saying?
Has that happened to anybody before?
Like it could be happening right now at this very moment.
I don't know.
There might be ocean noises going on.
Well, that's an example of hearing, but not listening.
And you know, in the same way...
way where we just learned there's a difference between passively seeing and looking to see,
the intentional looking to see. We can passively hear noises around us,
but what are we actively listening to? Scripture says many times, in fact, Jesus challenged this
idea of hearing without listening. Many times when he said, like for example, Matthew 11, 15,
he who has ears to hear, let him hear. In fact, Jesus used that expression at least eight times
to emphasize the difference between hearing and listening. So some of the ways that we can hear
God speak to us in the natural or external dimension would be through creation. Honestly,
you guys just practiced it a few minutes ago because you were hearing with your physical ears,
God speaking through people. That's one of the most common ways that we can hear God speak in
the external dimension is through other people. We're physically hearing someone speak to us
what God is saying. So that's some of the ways that we can hear externally. I'll just share,
let's go to the internal dimension of hearing right now, just to kind of activate something
fresh and new. The internal hearing would be instead of physically hearing with your ears
externally, you'd be hearing kind of that still small voice internally. You know, I don't know if
you guys realize this, but how many of you know, you don't just think your thoughts, you hear your
thoughts. That when a lot of the ways like God speaks to us is when a thought, a spontaneous
thought, he will introduce a thought that we're actually listening to. And then we're hearing God
speak to us. We can all hear or speak to ourselves. You know, scripture even talks about many times,
like when Abraham, he's like, he said to himself, well, he was literally speaking to himself. We can
speak to ourselves, but we can also hear God speak to us in the inner realm, almost like that inner
voice, that small whisper, kind of like Elijah, when he went onto Mount Horeb and he was, you know,
the thunder and the lightning and the fire and all this, he was waiting for the voice of God,
but God wasn't in the extra. God was in the still and the small and the simple. And it was at that
point, Elijah recognized the voice of God and went out to meet with him. So God can speak to us
through that internal realm. You know, I remember a few years ago, I was at another church and I was
talking to this young woman at the back. And as we were talking, I heard the phrase, she's pregnant.
It wasn't part of our conversation. We weren't talking about anything along those lines,
but it was so out of the blue that this thought came that I listened to, I heard she's pregnant.
So as she's talking, I'm kind of scanning her up and down. I'm like, she doesn't look pregnant
now. And I don't know about the culture where you guys come from, but you don't ever tell a woman
that she's pregnant unless you're like absolutely sure. She has to be like nine months pregnant
to actually say, oh, you're pregnant. I had no idea. So as I'm like processing, I kept hearing
she is pregnant. She doesn't look pregnant. So I'm like, okay, what do I do with this information?
I want to test it. Great way to test, again, that was more of like a word of knowledge,
but a great way to test that is to do it in the form of a question. You don't have to go up to
people and weird them out and be like, Jesus says you're this. Well, what if you're wrong?
And so, because again, we're learning to recognize his voice. So I asked her, I said, hey, are you
and your husband trying to get pregnant? In fact, are you pregnant? Because I keep hearing this
phrase that you're pregnant. Well, she shared with me that she was pregnant. She was about eight
weeks pregnant, but the day before she had had such severe bleeding that hurt that she had gone
into the ER and had taken a bunch of tests. And the doctors thought that she'd probably lost the
baby, but they wouldn't know for about a week. So she wouldn't know the results for about a week.
So she's sharing this with me. And I remembered what I heard. And I told her, I said, you know
what? I heard that you are pregnant, not that you were pregnant. So I believe that you are still
carrying this baby right now. And so can I just pray for you? So I was able to pray for her. I was
able to just pray for life over her womb, peace over her and her husband as they were navigating
this week of not knowing. And then about two weeks later, I got a text from her saying that
they heard the heartbeat for the very first time. And then about six months later or seven months
later, she sent me a picture of a beautiful, healthy baby girl. But she said that that word
kept her and her husband anchored in faith and hope for a week. That could have been really a
dark time for them because.
the Lord had said that she was pregnant and that she is pregnant, not that she was pregnant.
And so again, how did that come to me? I was just talking with her, having a conversation when I
heard in my inner man, I heard this phrase. And again, this is one of the ways that the Lord
speaks to us. One of my favorite ways that God often speaks to us in this inner man is from
Zephaniah 3, 17, where it says that the Lord, your God rejoices over you. And he, and he sings
over you. He rejoices over you with singing. Did you guys know that God sings over you?
Like there's so many scriptures that talk about this, that even in Job, it's like,
he gives you songs in the night, you know, by day, he communicates his love and by song.
And it gives you songs in the night. Like God is actually singing over you. How many of you
guys have ever woken up sometime and you've had like this, this song on your heart, or maybe you're
like singing throughout the day, this song, or you're humming a tune, something that maybe it's
not something you've listened to before, but it's just kind of this thing that's bubbling up. Well,
it could be that you're singing the song that God has been singing over you in the night season
and your heart, your spirit is actually catching that song. And you're joining with heaven on
singing the song over you. So you're like, well, what do I do when that happens? Why would God
sing over us? Well, I believe a key to this is found in Isaiah 42, 9 and 10 or Isaiah 43, 19,
where it says, forget the former things. See, I'm doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it?
And then it says this, sing to the Lord, a new song. See prophetically the new song often releases
the new day. And so in order for something to manifest on earth, heaven needs earth's agreement
in order to release the will of heaven on earth. And so when God is singing over you, he's singing
a song over you. He's singing his will, his heart, his desire in hopes that you're going to catch the
song that heaven is singing so that what God's will is can be manifested and released into earth.
When you're singing the same song that heaven is singing over you, there will be an acceleration
of his will and his desire into your life. And so in this next activation, it probably will be
our last one for today, just within our timeframe. But as Bethany's going to set up the breakout
rooms, what we're going to do in this one, we're going to practice our internal hearing receptor.
So what I want you to do right now is you're going to ask the Lord, because the Lord knows
who your partner is going to be, Lord, what song are you singing over my partner in this season?
Okay, now some of you are going to hear, I want you to practice hearing. Some of you might
actually hear the name of a song. You might hear certain lyrics to a song. It might be a lullaby.
It could be a Christian song. It could be a marketplace song. Come on, guys. God's vocabulary
is much larger than a Christian worship song. All right. God can speak through anything. He can speak
through rap. He can speak through a jingle. You know, there's so many ways that God is speaking
to us. So don't limit God when he's wanting to speak to you in this way. So practice this and
say, Lord, what song are you singing over my partner in the season? I'm going to give you like
40 seconds right now. I'm going to stop talking, give you a moment to hear the lyrics
or a song or the name of a song that you're going to share with your partner. So just give
you about 40 seconds and then I'll give you the rest of your directions.
Awesome. Okay. So how many, hopefully you guys have learned to practice the internal hearing you heard
internally. Now what's going to happen is in your breakout room, you're going to share
that particular phrase or that song title. And you're going to ask Holy Spirit, Lord,
what is it you want to speak through this song title or these lyrics or this melody?
What do you want to speak to through this that's going to encourage,
strengthen, or comfort my partner in this current season of their life?
All right.
So again, we're going to go into breakout rooms.
One of the things we want you to remember, stay in your breakout room, even if someone
doesn't show up because Bethany's going to go through and move everything around.
She's going to do her magic to make sure everybody has a partner.
But again, you're going to have about 90 seconds each to prophesy from what God spoke through
that internal hearing that's going to encourage, strengthen, or comfort your partner specifically
related to this current season.
All right, here we go.
Here come your room assignments.
How was that, Bethany?
Was that better?
A little bit.
Yeah, I know.
That's a lot of people.
It's nice to meet you officially, by the way.
I've heard wonderful things about you from Jackie.
Thank you.
Same about you.
And I told Jackie just briefly, such a small kind of fun little tidbit.
So I took, I don't even remember, it's been so long, something that you and Dano did together
a while back before I ever came into this community.
So it was kind of fun to know that connection for Jackie.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Very cool.
So when they come back, I'll probably just do a little shout out.
I might just briefly touch on, this is, I don't even know if I would have time to go
into the senses.
I think this is like a good basic start right now.
And I'm hoping that they can utilize at least some of these ways that God's speaking for
their prophesy your year with Lindsay.
This has been awesome.
Lindsay's also one of our certified trainers.
So I'm surprised she doesn't do this with you guys yet, but yeah, I'm glad this has
been helpful.
I told Jackie, we could do more after that if you guys feel like you guys need a little
bit more.
Yeah, Facebook is helpful.
It's on Amazon.
And I wish there's a way for me to get that to you guys by yourself.
Rachel.
Hi, Rachel.
Welcome.
Did you come back?
Rachel?
Oh, looks like I was by myself.
I was by myself.
I'm in the room.
I don't see anyone that is so weird.
There's no rooms where anyone was by themselves.
Okay.
Let me just reassign you.
Here you go, Rachel.
Go ahead and click.
Joanne is here.
If they want to just do it right here.
Let's go.
Okay.
I think she just came out of her room.
Do you want me to go or what do you want me to do?
I just sent you another room if you want to go into that one.
Okay.
Joanne, did you get kicked out of a room?
Oh, you just joined us.
Hold on.
Let me put you in a room.
There you go.
Rachel, are you getting kicked back out?
It's only me.
Maybe the song is for myself.
In the room that I just put you in?
Yeah, it was just showing me.
We can do it with you, Rachel.
Okay.
Do you already have a song?
Do you want to go first?
Do you want to do it over me or Bethany?
I guess it doesn't matter.
I do have a song.
All right.
Why don't you do it with me?
Because Bethany is managing all the...
Unless Bethany wants the word.
Do you want the word?
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll do it with you.
I'll do it with you, Rachel.
Okay.
It is basically the...
It says, I'm no longer a slave to fear.
I am a child of God.
Love that.
I'm no longer a slave to fear.
So this is very new to me.
I mean, I've listened to prophecy, but I'm not...
What do you feel like the Lord's saying through that?
No limits.
Even if you don't have the resource for it, he's a limitless God.
So good.
You feel like the Lord's saying that he wants to speak that to me, like there's no limits.
No limits.
Yeah.
That's good.
I love that.
That's very good.
Okay.
Um, I didn't, let me, let me just kind of ask the Lord here.
Um, yeah, yeah, actually I don't normally get where I don't always get worship songs,
but the one I was getting for you, Rachel, was that song.
Holy spirit, you are welcome here.
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.
Your glory Lord is what we're after.
And I just feel like this is a season that the Lord is unpacking the Holy Spirit for
you in a fresh way.
I feel like you are like, you know, the son and the father, but the Lord is really expounding
on the Holy Spirit for you.
And you're getting to know who the person of the Holy Spirit is on a fresh, deep way
and coming alive to that in this season, in this current season.
And so I just bless you, Rachel, to have any that have encounters with the goodness
and the love of who the Holy Spirit is and who he is for you and who he is in you in
Jesus name.
Amen.
I received that.
Amen.
Awesome.
Well, people are just starting to come back right now as you guys are coming back.
Um, if the word you received regarding the song really resonated with you, go ahead and
drop that in the chat.
Maybe give a testimony because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
One of the ways that we want to continue to celebrate what Jesus has done is just like
even just share it with others and just give that testimony about his goodness.
So we'd love to see, um, what, what the Lord spoke to some of you guys.
Um, this one is a fun one too, because I have seen so many songs all over the spectrum about,
Oh yeah.
You are always on my mind.
I love that.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Wow.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I'm just kind of looking through the chat.
Joy to the world.
Oh, that's so appropriate.
Um, now that you said Bethany, I don't know which Bethany, if it's Bethany, cause there's
two Bethany's here, Hicks and Cooper.
So we are the world.
Ooh, interesting.
Um, very cool.
Now would you guys say, uh, by show of hands, how many of you guys would say you not, you
know, we're not, we're not doing this to make me feel better or to make your partner
feel better, but genuinely you felt like the word that was given was really spoke to your
current season.
It really spoke to, um, where you're at right now and felt like the Lord was really speaking
to you.
Yeah.
So good.
I love it.
Do I did he, did he dump it?
He did.
Yep.
Awesome.
Look at that.
I am just loving this.
You guys, you're not just raising your hand to be nice to each other.
No, you guys are raising your hands cause God has been speaking to you through others.
Come on.
This is so good.
You guys, these are just a couple of the ways, I mean, I literally gave you two activations
out of hundreds of possibilities to be able to recognize the ways that God is speaking
to us.
Um, again, so the next time that, um, you are like waking up in the morning with a song
on your heart or your start to hum something through the day, pay attention, pay attention.
Like what am I singing right now?
You know, what is this?
Like what is this tune?
What is it?
It's like, Lord, is this you?
Is this you speaking something?
Is this something you've been singing over me and, and you want to, you want to get my
attention with that, um, in a powerful way.
Or the next time you're even having a conversation with somebody and all of a sudden you hear
something internally or something they say, it's like, okay, you know how you read your
Bible.
Um, and as you're reading, like, it's almost like when a scripture highlights itself to
you, do you guys know what I'm talking about?
It's like a scripture almost jumps off the page.
Sometimes that can happen in hearing where you're having a conversation with a friend,
maybe you're out for coffee and you're just talking about life, but something they say,
it's like there's a breath on it and there's a weight on it that like hits your spirit.
It almost feels like it's louder than the tone of voice they communicate in.
It's like it hits your spirit in a way.
When that happens, pay attention again, because that could be God speaking to you in the external
hearing realm.
It could be one of the ways that he is catching your attention and wanting to, again, bring
that invitation into a greater conversation.
with his voice.
I know we need to wrap up here right now.
I'm just gonna briefly mention the sensing realm would be,
for example, like if you have a gut intuition,
that would be very internal or mystical.
How many of you guys,
sometimes the mystical realm would look like,
sometimes you might have a pain in your side,
it could be a word of knowledge, you know,
that you're sensing,
you're literally feeling somebody else's pain
that God's wanting to heal.
It's not that you're getting that pain,
it's not that God's causing sickness,
it's that you're feeling the pain of someone else
that God is just using as an indicator
that you can pray for them so they can be healed.
Or maybe, how many of you guys have ever had like goosebumps
or God, we call them God bumps,
maybe where you might be in worship service
and just worshiping the Lord
and all of a sudden you're just feeling
like these God bumps or these goosebumps
or maybe a speaker is speaking,
what's happening is your body is actually responding
to the voice of God.
Tasting, smelling, feeling or touch,
God can speak through all of those senses.
And then of course we have perceiving or knowing,
that would be where again,
it's that knowing it in your knower
where you have this conviction of knowing something,
not because you see it or hear it or feel it or sense it,
it's actually you just have this conviction.
A lot of times I see that the Lord guides us
with direction through that knowing where you're like,
for example, maybe you're driving home from work
and you're like, I don't know why,
but I just need to take a different way home
from work today, you know, like than your normal path.
And there's no logical reason
why you're just taking a detour.
Could be that God is protecting you
or could be that he's setting you up for divine encounter.
And so again, these are some of the ways
that God speaks to us.
And again, I go very deep in all of these in my book,
The God Connection, which is on Amazon,
we have it on ebook, we have it in a physical paperback,
we also have it in an audio book,
it is my best selling book.
We actually use this as our core curriculum
for our 40 week class.
And I love it.
I get testimonies all the time from people
just sharing like, even people in the 70s and 80s,
they're like, I never knew that God's voice
was this accessible to me.
I didn't know that this was his voice speaking.
You know, I grew up and I believe God spoke,
but I didn't know how he spoke to me.
And it wasn't until my mid 30s
that I finally discovered some of the ways
that he's speaking.
And I just, part of my heart for writing this book
was so that my ceiling could be your floor,
that my ceiling could be the floor of other people
where you don't have to fight to understand
and recognize the voice of God,
but that there can be an acceleration to knowing his voice
so that you can run farther with him and be obedient,
even quicker with his voice than I could
because I didn't know his voice was,
I didn't know what it sounded like until my mid 30s.
And so again, this is just a very, very, very brief
introduction into some of the ways
that God is speaking to us.
We wanted to do this with you guys today,
cause I know there's a lot of people here
that I haven't met before.
And so it's wonderful to be with you guys,
but you guys get to do an amazing thing
with one of our actual prophetic company trainers
and friends of Jackie is Lindsay Ryman.
And she'll be doing her prophesy your year with you guys,
I think next month.
So when you do that,
you can practice some of these ways that we've learned,
the seeing or the hearing.
Again, if you want it to get my book or ebook,
you can learn like even more and practice in that.
And so when you do these activations with Lindsay,
hopefully you're a little bit more confident,
at least in some of these ways
that God is already speaking to you.
So again, it's been a blessing to be with you guys.
You guys are amazing.
Jackie is phenomenal.
I know you already know that
because you guys are in this program.
And she is a prophet.
I don't know if you guys realize this,
but Jackie is a prophet.
She is a prophet to the mountain of family.
And she is a prophet that is putting the stake in the ground
for kingdom marriages and kingdom family.
And there's a grace.
I've seen people that like,
maybe they didn't meet their spouse in this group,
but just by aligning with Jackie,
actually met their spouse
and they've been waiting for years.
Where there was just like a grace to open their hearts up
to be able to connect and meet their future spouses.
So I just wanna encourage you guys.
She's awesome.
She carries a lot of revelation.
She's hilarious.
And who you guys see on camera is just as much as who she is behind the scenes too.
So anyways, blessings you guys.
I know I gave you a lot, but I believe the Lord's going to unpack it all for you even
more in the future.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Remember that God is good.
He loves you.
He's poured out his spirit on every single one of you.
And he longs to communicate his brilliant, good, precious thoughts for every single one
of you and every single one of you and who you're going to meet and be with this year.
God bless you guys.
See you later.
Thank you, Bethany, so much.
This was incredible.
All of our people are so thankful.
They're blowing you up in the chat.
Thank you so much for taking this time with us tonight.
For those of you, if you didn't see, I put in the chat, the prophesy your year information
will be coming out very soon.
We'll put it in the groups, send emails, we'll get in touch with y'all.
So you'll know how to sign up.
That is an additional paid event.
So just want to give you a heads up on that in advance.
I will tell you that I've done it the last few years and y'all, it's life changing, literally.
And not only just take what we do that night, but I've taken it and gotten together with
people in the community and we've literally activated that throughout the year.
And there are things that God showed me on those nights that literally have happened
in my life.
Really fun, exciting things.
And so what you started here tonight, what you started hearing, God's going to let you
use that again really soon, but use it even before then, you know, take what Bethany taught
us tonight and just start activating that and using that and let God speak through you.
We love you and we'll see you all really, really soon.
Have a great night, everyone.
Bye.
Thanks, Bethany.
Bye.
