Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: The Bread We Know Not Of Web Description: Is it really possible to run without getting tired or to walk without becoming weary? That is not our normal experience, but it is God’s. He is never weary or tired, and He promises to give us His strength if we wait on Him. Christ knew how to do this. The food that sustained Him was in His connection to the Father, and we are connected to the Father through Him. Isn’t it time for us to learn how to draw from Him? Show Notes: Isaiah 40 contains a familiar passage about waiting on the Lord. This...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: How Do We Appropriate? Web Description: It is easy for people to have negative emotions. We can become depressed, fearful, or anxious. And those negative emotions have negative effects on our physical bodies. As Christians why should we accept that when we can experience the joy of Christ’s salvation and the fruit of the Spirit producing life in our physical bodies? God has provided everything for us, and we should be continually appropriating more and more of His provision until His life is manifesting in us and through us. Show Notes: What do you...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

GIG258 Pray From Fulfillment
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: Pray From Fulfillment Web Description: If someone gives you a plate of delicious food, do you still pray, “God, give me food! Where is the food You promised me?” No, you just take it and say, “Thank you.” Yet even though God has already given us everything, we pray as if we have not received it. We need to change that way of praying. We need to shift our focus from this realm and dwell in the spirit realm where God’s Word is already fulfilled and then pray from that place. Show Notes: When you pray, are you asking as someone who...

GIG256 Understanding Revelation and Deception About Israel
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel’s destruction are the same forces plotting America’s destruction. It is time to wake up. Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free...
info_outlineWeb Description: If God put us in this world by His will, then we accept that He has enabled us to do His will. That means whatever He makes real to us in His Word is not something only for the past or waiting for the future. His Word is something He wants us to walk in now. Therefore, we ask God’s help to end our double-mindedness by making our conscious and subconscious minds a united force to manifest His Word in the present.
Show Notes: As Christians we believe that the Scriptures are the Word of God. But we need to change our conditioning that relegates everything in the Scriptures to the past or the future. The Word of God must be our present reality. It is not enough to mentally accept that Christ was resurrected in the past and by virtue of that determine we will have a resurrection in the future. Instead, we need to believe without wavering that Yeshua (Jesus) is, as He said, the resurrection and the life, and we can therefore experience the power of His resurrection and life in our own lives at this very moment.
God is speaking to us now in the present, but what hinders our effectiveness is this duplicity in our thinking that prevents us from experiencing it in the present. James wrote that a double-minded person should not expect to receive anything from God, and the reality is that we are by nature double-minded. We have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind, and those two minds are not necessarily in sync. We live crossing ourselves out more than we recognize because our conscious and subconscious minds are at odds with each other.
You can determine with your conscious mind to walk in the Word and then fail to even get started because your subconscious mind is not engaged in carrying out your conscious decision. We live mainly in our conscious mind because that is what we know how to relate to. But our subconscious mind is what makes the planning of our conscious mind active and operational in the present moment. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we apply the force of our subconscious mind to take the Word that we understand with our conscious mind and make it our present and active reality.
Key Verses:
• John 1:13. “… born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
• Philippians 2:13. “It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”
• Luke 17:21. “The kingdom of God is in your midst [or within you].”
• Matthew 28:20. “I am with you always.”
• James 1:5–8. “That man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man.”
• James 4:8. “Purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
• Isaiah 54:17. “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.”
• 1 Peter 2:24. “By His wounds you were healed.”
• John 11:21–26. “I am the resurrection and the life.”
• Roman 13:14. “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Quotes:
• “Our subconscious mind does not flow with our conscious mind. These two things are not necessarily in sync with each other and a lot of problems are born out of that.”
• “How do we get to oneness? We've got to get to oneness in ourselves, and it has a lot to do with the Holy Spirit. It has a lot to do with learning our subconscious mind the way we know our conscious mind.”
• “My subconscious mind has to be brought into unification with my conscious mind and vice versa in order for me to live in the present moment. And if I don't do that, then I'm constantly living in this throwback of the past or the future. And there's no power in that.”
Takeaways:
1. When God says that you are here, not by the will of flesh nor by the will of man, but by the will of God, then you must take that in your mind and make that your present reality and reject anything that says anything different. If God’s Word is true, then it is true now.
2. It is not enough to know and teach the Word. We have to know how to manifest the Word. Not manifesting it now in our lives puts the Word into the future or keeps it in the past.
3. Even though we love the Word and have tried to walk in the Word, we are confronted with the fact that a double-minded person receives nothing from God. It is our double-minded nature that crosses out the effectiveness of the Word.
4. Instead of only mentally accepting the Word with our conscious mind, we need to involve the capabilities of our subconscious mind to keep the Word active and functioning in the present moment.
