So You Think You Missed God?
Dust To Deity
Episode #25: So You Think You Missed God? 1. How to Get Back on Track Acknowledge your sin, and repent. (1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.”) Repentance isn’t about shame—it’s about realigning with God’s will. Don’t be drastic. Avoid making radical decisions out of fear or guilt. Example: Don’t quit your job, leave your family, and move to the mountains for six months. Family is first. (1 Timothy 5:8 – “If anyone does not provide for his family, he has denied the faith.”) Your first ministry is your home—God will not...

Jesus and the Blind Man – Understanding God's Character
Dust To Deity
Episode #23: Jesus and the Blind Man – Understanding God's Character 1. Interpreting the Word Through the Spirit We must look at the Word through the eyes of the Spirit, not just the natural mind. Many people misinterpret scripture by looking at it from a carnal or religious perspective. Jesus came to reveal the true nature of the Father (John 14:9). 2. The Blind Man’s Condition Was Not a Result of Sin John 9:1-3 – “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned." The disciples assumed all suffering was...

You and Eternity
Dust To Deity
Episode #22: You and Eternity The Eternal Reality of Christ’s Lordship 1. The Contrast Between Eternity with Christ and Without Him If Jesus is your Lord, this world is the worst it will ever be for you. If Jesus is not your Lord, this world is the best it will ever be for you. For believers, the pain and suffering of this world will end in eternity with Christ (Revelation 21:4). For those who reject Christ, this world is the closest to heaven they will ever experience. 2. The Restraining Power of the Holy Spirit – 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 “Now you know...

Strongholds – Part 2
Dust To Deity
Episode #21: Strongholds – Part 2 1. Entering into the Presence of the Lord Daily We must enter into the Lord’s presence on a daily basis. A relationship with God requires consistency and intentionality. Psalm 91:1 – “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The five-fold ministers (Ephesians 4:11-12) are responsible for equipping the saints. Their job is not to do all the ministry, but to teach others how to do the work of the Kingdom. To be productive in the Kingdom, you need a relationship with the King. You cannot...

Common Strongholds: Lustful thoughts Insecurities Poverty mentality Addictions (alcohol, drugs, etc.) Unhealthy attachment to money (whether rich or poor) 2. How Strongholds Take Root – The Power of Thoughts Every stronghold begins with a thought. Every sin starts in the mind. James 1:14-15 – “Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived,...

Guest David Kandole – Walking in Faith
Dust To Deity
Episode #19: Dave Kandole – Walking in Faith 1. Faith is Not an Object – It is a Relationship Faith is not something you "use" or "hold onto"—it is a byproduct of knowing God. Faith is about walking with God, not just believing for things. Many people treat faith as a tool to "get things" from God rather than a way to walk in relationship with Him. 2. Elisha’s Relationship with God – Faith in Action Elisha operated in faith because of his deep connection with God. He did not ask God to do things—he simply commanded things to happen. Examples from Elisha’s life: 2 Kings...
info_outlineEpisode #8: Hearing the Voice of the Lord
1. The Rock of Revelation – Jesus is the Foundation of the Church
- Matthew 16:18 – “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”
- Jesus was not saying that Peter was the foundation of the Church.
- The “rock” is the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 16:16).
- The Church is built on Jesus, not on any human leader (1 Corinthians 3:11).
2. Jesus Still Speaks to Us Today
- John 10:27 – “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
- Jesus stated clearly that His people hear His voice.
- He also said a stranger’s voice they will not follow—meaning we can learn to discern His voice.
- If He no longer speaks, why would He say this?
- The Book of Acts is still being written—
- The Holy Spirit is still at work in the Church today.
- God still speaks, leads, and moves among His people.
3. How God Speaks – The Still Small Voice
- 1 Kings 19:11-13 – God revealed to Elijah that His voice was not in the wind, earthquake, or fire but in a still small voice.
- This teaches us that hearing God requires stillness, awareness, and spiritual sensitivity.
- Many expect God to speak loudly or dramatically, but often, He speaks in subtle ways.
4. The Nature of Man and How the Holy Spirit Speaks
- We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body.
- Spirit – Our connection to God (Romans 8:16).
- Soul – Our mind, emotions, and will.
- Body – Our physical form.
- Romans 8:25 – The Holy Spirit speaks to us through our spirit/conscience.
- The more we align with God, the clearer we hear His guidance.
5. The Holy Spirit is Still Moving Today
- Genesis 1:2 – “The Spirit of God hovered over the waters.”
- He is still hovering over the earth, moving and working.
- The Holy Spirit is holding back the enemy.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:7 speaks of the “Restrainer” holding back the full force of evil.
- The presence of the Holy Spirit in believers is a barrier against darkness.
6. Hearing and Following the Holy Spirit’s Guidance
- John 10 & 12 – Jesus and Lazarus
- Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit and avoided premature persecution.
- He followed God’s timing, not human pressure.
- The Holy Spirit speaks through our conscience
- He nudges, convicts, and leads us from within.
- Learning to recognize His voice is key to spiritual growth.
7. How to Start Hearing the Holy Spirit
- Start by asking small things and being still in His presence.
- The more we listen and obey, the clearer His voice becomes.
- Practical steps:
- Spend time in prayer and scripture daily.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in small decisions.
- Practice obedience in the little things.
- Learn to differentiate between God’s voice, your own thoughts, and the enemy’s voice.
Final Thoughts
- Hearing God’s voice is part of the normal Christian life.
- Jesus still speaks—and we are meant to follow.
- The Holy Spirit is always leading; we must learn to tune in and obey quickly.
- As we grow in discernment, we will walk in greater clarity, peace, and power.
