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...

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 ask you to neglect it.
2. Spend Time in Prayer and Seek God’s Direction
- Prepare for prayer:
- Have your Bible, a notepad, and a pen ready.
- Expect to write down what God reveals to you.
- Talk to your spouse about what you believe God is saying.
- Your spouse is a key partner in discernment. (Ecclesiastes 4:9 – “Two are better than one.”)
3. Unbelief is Removed Through Prayer and Fasting
- Matthew 17:21 – “This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
- Fasting isn’t just about not eating—it’s about spiritual focus and discipline.
- Consider a time of true fasting.
- This is a time to set aside distractions and focus solely on hearing God.
- Jesus’ example of fasting:
- He went to a secluded place (Luke 5:16).
- He often went alone to pray (Matthew 14:23).
- His fasting was intentional and focused.
4. Put Aside the Opinions of Others
- After fasting, come together with your spouse to discuss what the Lord revealed.
- If your spouse disagrees, don’t argue—ask God to work on their heart. (Proverbs 21:1 – “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord.”)
- Also ask God to work on your heart—you may have misunderstood Him.
- Do not get out of agreement with your spouse.
- Unity in marriage is crucial for walking in God’s will. (Matthew 18:19 – “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything, it will be done.”)
5. Strengthen Your Ability to Hear God’s Voice
- Start testing your ability to hear God on small things.
- Look for things to ask Him that are measurable but won’t cause harm if you’re wrong.
- Ask God for guidance on practical matters.
- Example: How to fix something, where to find something lost, or when to reach out to someone.
- This builds confidence in recognizing His voice. (John 10:27 – “My sheep hear My voice.”)
Final Thoughts
- If you feel like you’ve missed God, don’t panic—simply realign.
- Repent, pray, and seek His voice with humility.
- Don’t make drastic moves—God leads through peace, not fear.
- Stay in unity with your spouse and ask God to confirm His direction.
- Learn to hear God in small ways so you can trust Him in bigger ones.
