Contending For the Fullness of the Prophetic Anointing

Written on March 1st, 2010 by Philip Wongno shouts

We are very concern with the doctrine we are teaching. This is very good and biblical too. But often we overlook the significant of our experiences. Being a Christian is more than being a good man. We must demonstrate the power and authority to confirm the gospel we preach. Of course, our faith does not depend on our personal experiences but on the word of the Lord. But this must not be used as an excuse to not contend for the fullness of prophetic anointing as what we read in the book of Acts. Here are some ways we should be walking in according to the Word of the Lord to receive greater portion of the anointing.

First, we must have a clear vision for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. There is more. The Lord desires to give us His fullness. We must be in agreement with Lord in order to receive what He gives us. Just like salvation, the work has been fully completed by Jesus, but we have to respond with faith in agreement with the Lord in order to receive it. The same applies to the prophetic anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is a free gift but we need to receive it with a clear vision for the fullness. Do not be satisfied with a little bit of personal experiences. You know deep down in your heart that there is more. Continue to press in believing that you can receive the fullness as the Lord promised.

Second, to whom has more will be given. If we treasure what the Lord has given to us and we steward it faithfully, more will be given to us. So, while we contend for the fullness and do not settle for less, we are grateful for whatever the Lord has already released. Do not despise the day of small beginnings.

Thirdly, in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests made known unto God (Phil 4:6). Prayer and fasting is the way for the power of God to break forth. He gave us this great privilege to pray and cooperate with Him in releasing His blessings. Prayer and fasting do not earn us more blessings and they position and tenderize ourselves to receive and be in agreement with God. And while we are in deeper agreement with the Lord, our prayers release greater power.

Fourth, we must live the Kingdom of Heaven lifestyle. We do this by living according to what the Lord taught us in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7). An old wineskin cannot carry new wine. Our inner man is reborn through the Holy Spirit. We must be holy as our Father is holy. We believe we can because we know that we are no longer a slave of sin but a slave of righteousness. We seek to live totally free of compromise. But when we fail, we do not get discouraged but we repent and try again wholeheartedly.

Finally, do not think that it is cool or fun to operate in the prophetic anointing. What comes with a greater portion of the anointing is reproach and stigma. We bear our own cross to follow Jesus. As we grow more mature and receive more of His anointing, we are honored to walk in more of Jesus\’ path. And His path is characterized by suffering. We are counted worthy to suffer with Him. This works for us in the sense that it keeps us humble and relying on the Lord. But more importantly this works for the eternal plan of God. How great is the glory to cooperate and partner with the God of the most high!

Busting Psychic Reading Myths

Written on February 27th, 2010 by Tana Hoyno shouts

The technique of psychic reading has often been a very questionable topic. Why, you may ask. Straight forward, there is no common sense and logical explanation behind the ways of a psychic reading — but then, many individuals have faith in its mystical ways.

We cannot deny that doubt has always encased the psychic realm; and the fact that details given toeach person typically gets altered somewhere along the way. So with this said, the fact is, not all that we hear about psychic ideas are legitimate.

So what is the reality behind the psychic reading concept? Let us now correct the wrong ideas of this psychic concept, so that everyone will see the clear picture once and for all. Here are some common psychic reading myths that have been lingering since time immemorial:

3 Common Myths About Psychic Readings:

1. PSYCHIC READING IS JUST MERE MAKE BELIEVE OR WISHFUL THINKING. They are saying that psychic readers know a lot of how a psychologist performs and that to please a person, you have to give a great psychic reading to him or her and that the particular person would then \”make believe\” that it is all authentic. Basically, a reading is all a \”state of mind\” — when an individual is told by a psychic about what\’s going to happen, an individual will tend to feel in that, and in turn, it will make the reading materialize. This information is so false! The truth of the matter is, a psychic reading can result in either positive or negative, and in either case, the psychic reader will explain it to the person being read, and give the communicating advice on what to do about the situation.

2. A PSYCHIC READING IS A COLD READING. When a person to be read enters the psychic\’s room, the psychic would then try to look at and evaluate the elements that he can with that particular person. Generally, a cold reading will involve making conclusions or lucky guesses about a person from what you can clearly observe. But so you know, psychics do not do cold readings. These people have special gifts that enable them to obtain information about a particular person through extrasensory means, even if the person is not in the same place with them!

3. THE RESULTS IN A PSYCHIC READING ARE JUST MADE UP. They say that psychics tell everything most likely to happen to a person, gives the condition on how it will be brought, and that if it does not come true, it is because the person did not follow the conditions. More like advertisements of shampoos. But just like the two earlier mentioned myths, this one is also not true. Psychic reading is based on the aura or the energy of the person. Only psychics can see these things. But if the reality of it is in question, then just try it to make the experience the answer.

There are many other myths about psychic readings, there are even some silly ideas like getting a reading will jinx your good luck, and so on. Skeptics can device hundreds of wrong beliefs if they must. However, they still could not disprove the reality and the reliability of psychic reading.

Unfortunately, simply because of the many misconceptions about the psychic realm, many of us do not believe in its ways. But then, come to think of it, there is no harm in trying to seek a psychic reading for yourself. As they say, the only way to uncover the truth, is to know it first hand.

The Prophetic Ministry of the Body of Christ

Written on February 22nd, 2010 by Christian Wongone shout

When we talk about prophetic, often we think of dreams and visions, angelic visitations and things like that. In fact, being prophetic has much deeper meanings to it. We are all commanded to earnestly desire to prophesy. It is time for us to understand in what way we must function as the prophetic Church of Jesus in the end time.

God speaks through His servants. In the bible we see a lot of men chosen by God who spoke the will of God. This is enough for us to see that the main function of a prophetic ministry is to reveal God\’s own heart. An angel who appeared to John the Apostle told him that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. All prophecies are spoken to witness or to reveal testimony of Jesus Christ, His identity, His work and His heart. We must know Him and encounter Him personally before we could do that.

By the blood of Jesus, we are allowed to enter into the sanctuary of God. We are able to restore our intimate relationship with God our father. We can experience His heart intimately and at many dimensions. We experience how He loves us. We experience how precious His grace and mercy is. We experience how joyful He is when He looks at us.

Whenever a prophecy is spoken forth, God\’s heart is revealed. Man\’s total being is completely corrupted by sin. We are incapable of knowing God without His revelations and grace, not to mention loving Him. It takes God to love God. When He reveals His affection for us, we receive the ability to show our affection for Jesus.

There are some common misconceptions among the churches. Some experiencing prophetic events like dreams and visions immediately claim themselves to be prophets. Others refuse any prophetic encounters with reason that they are not called to be prophets. There are clear distinguishments between being a prophet and operating with the spirit of prophecy according to the bible. The Lord promises to pour the spirit of prophecy on all of His sons and daughters, while only a few chosen people are called to the office of prophets.

An example of a prophet who revealed the heart of God according to the will of God is John the Baptist. He was called the greatest man born of a woman by Jesus. He was the forerunner prepared for the first coming of Jesus who also symbolize a group of God\’s people who are being raised up in the end of the end time to prepare the second coming of the Lord. They will be revealing the heart of God, His mercy and His judgment and warn people of the coming crisis. The prophetic anointing will be operating mightily on them. Some would even call fire from heaven and beyond. Let\’s follow the teachings of the Bible and desire earnestly for the spirit of prophecy.

Conscious Creator…Do You Have A Soft Heart?

Written on February 3rd, 2010 by Lori Hamannno shouts

Often times I wonder what I want to write about and then remember that if I start typing something will miraculously come out of me that is perfect! It\’s a good lesson in listening to your guidance isn\’t it? So as I tap into the flow today, doesn\’t surprise me that I am being guided to talk about having a \”soft heart \”- and what that means for your life.

Softening \”resistance\” is key when you are trying to get out of your own way, and create your best life. Resistance may also be defined as negative emotion, thought, or a belief that is not in alignment with who you are. Resistance occurs within, and our emotions – which are energy – actually can block the flow of abundance.

Consider this however, the idea of having a \”soft heart\”… toward yourself and others is an attitude and way of being that immediately shifts you toward the softening of resistance in your life – and really without too much effort.

I teach this… yes. It\’s full of truth, it works, and it\’s immediate. Manifesting your best life, and allowing your good to flow is all about alignment. A soft heart is easy to jump to, and is key.

Remember this however… it\’s a choice to have a soft heart. In any moment you have the option to choose it. It holds profound uplifting energy…one that can\’t be matched by merely picking apart your belief system, and thinking about individual thought you are thinking. It\’s a way of being. Choice.

If you are looking to find the sweet spot of manifestation… this is it. This is the space from which all things are created…allow yourself to drop into this space.

It\’s easy… just imagine for a moment, and say the words \”soft heart\”. Notice what\’s going on within you. Now, imagine you are directing that energy toward something in your life you would like to drop your resistance to.

Make the choice today to come from a soft heart. Do something for yourself, or allow yourself to be seen in the light of the soft heart — by you. This is very nurturing, and the closest vibration to Source that I can access right now. Stay conscious…line up with Truth, your Inner Being, and God. Magnificent creation happens here!

Psychic Ability 101: Understanding the Clairvoyant Gift

Written on January 30th, 2010 by Tana Hoyno shouts

Rare are cases where a person sees things beyond the normal sense of sight or all the normal senses at all. We cannot easily see what is beyond the physical world. But with a psychic, this is just like \”another day at the office\”. Seeing things beyond our five normal senses is one of the precious psychic ability that they posses.

One popular psychic ability, is the gift of clairvoyance. Clairvoyance, from the French terms \”clair\” meaning, \”clear\” and \”voyance\” meaning \”vision\”, refers to a psychic ability that enables a person to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through extrasensory means.

Many even refer to clairvoyance as the sixth sense, because a person with this psychic ability seems to have an extra sense on top of the five human senses. There are also some who call this psychic ability as the \”third eye\”; a figurative illustration to the literal ability to see what is unseen. Also, the clairvoyant psychic ability can also be referred as \”remote viewing\”, because a person with this gift can see things regardless of time and space.

The clairvoyant psychic ability can come in two types — it can either be voluntary, or involuntary. Now you might wonder, what\’s the difference among these tow? Involuntary clairvoyance is when the psychic gets visions out of the blue, spontaneously, or unintentionally. In other words, the information about object, person, location or physical event, just comes to a person — this can either be through visions, or dreams.

For you to have a definite picture of the distinction between the two types of clairvoyance i will provide you with a brief description of being a voluntary clairvoyant. If a certain psychic willingly uses his/her psychic gift of clairvoyance for the purpose of providing information about an object, person, location or physical event. This usually happen when a person consults a psychic for a psychic reading. In general, the most common things that they consult a psychic is about the past, present, and future as a whole.

Being a clairvoyant is a gift like no other and is extremely unique in every aspect. There are no definite explanations to this gift but it is a reality that is most often questioned by people mostly associated with science. Although some are doubtful, others have great faith in the psychic gift of clairvoyance and in psychics. A gift that has stood the test of time and has established its reputation.

Clairvoyance works through forces which cannot be measured by any barometers or devices. These forces are often called energy. The person capable of receiving or controlling this psychic ability will conjure the energy around it, center it to himself and \”read\” from it or see what he desire to see. The involuntary type is similar with a slight difference of not exerting effort to see what a person wants to see instead it occurs spontaneously.

This may sound weird at first but once tried and tested, you will see that it is true and that it works. You may not also really comprehend it with such a brief explanation for words, like science also has limitations. But this is clairvoyance, and this is real.

The Psychic Gift of Levitation: Understanding its Ways

Written on January 19th, 2010 by Tana Hoyno shouts

If you were asked what special power do you want to have, what would your answer be? Perhaps if others would be asked, the most common wish would be the ability to fly. Well of course! Who doesn\’t want to fly anyway? However, to some people, flying is just some fantasy, they think that the ability to fly is just contained in fairy tales, or adventures of fictional characters like superheroes. What they don\’t know is that, there is a real way to achieve this coveted psychic ability, and the power or ability to fly is the psychic gift known as levitation.

By definition, levitation is a psychic ability that refers to the act of being able to make yourself float on air, using only the will power of the mind. In this sense, flying is something similar to the psychic gift of levitation, as defined in the psychic realm. However, because of its rare nature, people are not widely aware of its existence, thus doubting its validity. Another reason for people doubting the existence of levitation as a psychic gift, is because it is impossible in line with the laws of physics. However, scientists has still haven\’t figured out and explained how saints, monks, yogis, and psychics from different walks of life are able to do it.

Levitation is a real psychic gift. However, because of its rare nature, people have been doubting its existence throughout history. Contradicting the law of gravity, as they say, there is always an exception to the rule. In fact, there are even scientific explanations on how levitation occurs. The reality is, there has been a large number of people who have possessed the psychic power to levitate. The list includes saints, monks, yogis, and psychics from different walks of life, located in all the four corners of the Earth. Famous levitators include Daniel Douglas Homes, Buddha, and even Jesus Christ himself.

We have already defined levitation, how it evolved, and the various views of people around the world. Now one will curiously ask — how does a person actually levitate? Many people are not aware of this, but each person has an innate psychic side, just waiting to be unlocked. Yes, you may even possess the power to levitate! Like any other psychic gift, levitation has necessary steps for its development and enhancement.

Of course, like any other psychic talents and skills, levitation can also be honed and mastered but only if you have an open mind to help you reach a higher state of consciousness and learning. The following are a few secrets to how famous individuals in history perfected levitation.

PURIFICATION OF THE BODY. First off, the body needs to be pure. This means the body should be cleansed from unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Of course, purifying the body would also mean abstinence from man\’s greatest temptation of all — sex. Though this sounds strict, it must be avoided as such levitation requires a pure body and a pure mind.

MAGNIFICATION OF THE MIND. Secondly, the mind should be empowered. Levitation requires a powerful mind in order to be achieved. You can do this through proper meditation. This is also the key to clearing your thoughts from unwholesome and unclean thoughts. Through proper meditation you will be able to achieve a feeling of lightness which in return will help you levitate.

AWAKENING THE SPIRIT. The last thing you need to perfect is to gain a firm and strong connection to the spirit within you. You must possess the will power to pursue your journey of unlocking your hidden psychic power.

Levitation is possible. It is a psychic art that requires dedication, diligence and love. The process given above cannot be learned overnight. But when everything is done properly, it will all be worth it.

The Real Meaning Of Gay Spirituality

Written on January 14th, 2010 by Howie Holbenno shouts

Gay spirituality has been long sought and hard fought. Let\’s face it, a large percentage of us grew up in churches that condemned us. It is completely common to go through a strong questioning period where spiritual answers seem out of reach and you end up looking for some sort of confirmation. The problem is that there is no actual confirmation, but the journey is still well worth it.

Most of us started on our journey when we were young. Sometimes we didn\’t even realize that the words we heard cut so deeply because they were actually about us. Sometimes we did.

As time went on many of us started searching outside the church for answers. Social justice and a strong desire to move our community into the light became more of our church than the buildings with pastors and priests.

There are all kinds of ways that one may try to find spiritual answers. When gay spirituality was first even mentioned, there was no such thing as an open and affirming church. Instead, there were a few select individuals who saw the plight of our spiritual journey and went out of their way to reach out to the community. Some turn toward that effort and others still turn away, looking for validation in the eyes of their childhood church.

For those of us that were born in very religious or religiously strict families, the spiritual journey can be difficult and even painful. The idea that we could pray ourselves straight of that the head of the church could \”fix us\” was not only uninformed, but outright damaging to a young person\’s self image. There will probably never be an admission from such churches that their practices were damaging, and looking for one will not lead to the confirmation you want.

This means that you never have to set foot into an organized church if you prefer not to, as the answers aren\’t likely to come from a single man or woman of the cloth. Rather, spiritual answers tend to come from within. They come in the form of a loved one or a partner. They come in the form of a sense of self and a strong sense of owning your sexuality. They come in little tid bits all throughout life. They come in moments that you recognize but often aren\’t sure what to call them.

Gay spirituality isn\’t just about acceptance. It is about a sense of self and in some cases a sense of dignity. There are plenty of cast outs that would love to come full circle, hear their childhood church admit fault for treatment of their gay membership, and feel righted after being mistreated. Yet we can only take that idea so far. It\’s about understanding and then reconciling that the religious teachings that we experienced were created by people. The actual spiritual journeys are felt internally and can\’t be taught. It is a noticeable and distinct feeling.

You can join the open and affirming churches and learn to grasp your gay spirituality if you choose. It can be a great place to debate and discuss. Or you can create your own private moments that offer you a reflective chance to decide for yourself. The journey simply never really has to end.

Psychic Reading: A Way to Unravel the Future

Written on January 14th, 2010 by Tana Hoyno shouts

It is generally believed that the future holds nothing but mysteries and uncertainties. Brilliant minds may use science to predict to future, however, these are nothing but assumptions. In short, the future is predictable but then, it is uncertain. So one might pose a question: \”Is it possible to know for sure what the future holds?\” The answer to this is plain, simple, and clear: \”Yes.\” This way is through a psychic reading. Via a psychic reading, you will be able to attain more insights regarding the past, present, and more importantly, the future.

To dwell deeper in the subject, psychic reading is a skill or ability, obviously contained only to psychics. It is a method wherein a person will be given a better understanding of himself or those who will be part of his life, each day, week, months, or even years. This is just a very small portion of what psychic reading really is, and this is why it is evident these days that there are more people who seek psychics for a reading. To strengthen the effectiveness and importance of psychic reading, here are five reasons why people seek for psychic readings.

Reason #1: A psychic reading will help you prepare for the future. Because a psychic can see into the future, you can be informed of what is to come. Because psychics know what challenges await you, you will be prepared when the obstacles come.

Reason #2: You get more confidence through a psychic reading. A psychic will read not only what lies in your past, present, and future; it can also read you — your strengths, weaknesses, and even your hidden talents. Through readings, you can realize your potential, and through this realization, you be more motivated and confident to face life.

Reason #3: Psychic readings can help you remember the past. Because a psychic can also see the past, they can help you look back. Remembering and knowing the past — past mistakes for example, can help you prepare better for the future.

Reason #4: A psychic reading can make you a better person. Because a psychic can know very well your past, present, and future, not to mention they can see beyond the normal senses, a psychic can help you realize your mistakes. By realizing your mistakes, you will be better at facing the challenges of life.

Reason #5. The psychic reading will give you a better disposition in life. Knowing the past, building up your self at the present, and preparing for the future is a perfect mixture of a happier life. You become a better person for yourself or for someone and you might as well become a better person for the world.

These are just five of the many reasons why getting a psychic reading is beneficial. Generally speaking, getting a psychic reading is fun and enjoyable — especially if the psychic sees clear skies and a colorful rainbow ahead for you. But then you might ask, why do some people have one done over and over again? Well, because a psychic reading can challenge, inspire, motivate, and boost confidence, more and more people want a reading done often.
