....yes....when I was a kid I lost a camping knife, and prayed to find it. I had a hole in my pocket and should have known it would happen. It was black and so very difficult to find if it was on the ground. I figured I must have lost it in this patch of weeds where I'd been which was bad. It was 2 acres of waist- high weeds. The thought in the form of a suggestion came to me.."Why not SYSTEMATICALLY criss- cross looking at the ground"...That was it. I found it miraculously.
You were my favorite professor at Victory Christian College in Tulsa . I have missed your teaching so much and I thank God for helping me to find you again!
You are a God send LITERALLY! I grew up in a Christian household but learnt to now consider myself more spiritual than religious having a strong relationship with Jesus since childhood, so that made me (and never knew til now because of persecution) peculiar- to the world lol happily. Always knew I was more liberated than the average person because of Christs work on the cross but sometimes felt I was weird/out of place (God sent my beautiful toddler nephew to tell me - he makes no mistakes it was amazing) so I've wanted to understand God more because spirituality is made to be complex which is understandable because it's what's known and experienced not seen by most and these videos are HELPING ME SO MUCH! Thank you thank you and God continue to bless you. You are blessed for walking with God so clearly its like having a prophet from the bible explain their walk with God. Love it!
That was very well explained. I've always told people it's like i have two brains. One in my head and the other is in my belly. Stop laughing I didn't know how to tell people. LOL
Ok I've been trying learn more in the last yr than I ever have ...I've been sick and have some test results coming in and they found somethibg but I've been hearing these voices in my head and almost like they are telling me I'm sick cause they say stuff like it's sad ,,he don't have long, yeah he is really sick and I'm getting worried cause it'sike all my loved ones in the other side are trying to warn me.....or something would u plz pray for me what and why am I hearing this ....I used to be in drugs bad and I. On recovery meds will that keep me from receiving a healing or anointing I love Jesus and I'm fighting a battle and I give it all to Jesus because I want to live for him and do Gods work cause I know time is short but I believe I'm fighting flesh and spiritual warfare plz help ty God bless u I love your teachings
John, you are truly a blessing. the way God is using you to help us get closer to Jesus is AMAZING! i am inspired more to get closer to my lord every time I watch you videos. and I love how much you share about your family. I have an autistic nephew, so when you share about your son, it resonates with me. God bless you!
One of my favorite bits in the Bible comes from 1 Kings 19 9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Mr John I started listening to you in the beginning of the pandemic. I never heard about this teaching about perceiving in the Spirit. I also follow your advice to sing in tongue while singing worship songs. And now I can really sense in my Spirit the emotions of the God more clearly example when I share the gospel I feel the joy of the Lord inside or when I saw a video on idolatry I shift my focus and see how it was registered in my Spirit and I felt the anger of the Lord (My response was fear especially for them, it was a different kind of fear that I never experienced before) sometimes the Spirit mourn in response to things just like the Beruit explosion. God has intense emotions. I never thought this could happen to me that He reveal in my Spirit. Though sometimes I can't understand why He feels that way or what's the reason in His grieving. I need to discern and seek God to understand Him better. Thank you so much for all your lessons. praise the Lord for revealing it to you. It changes my walk with Him and He is still working on me more and more 😊😊😊
Clear as mud but, that's on me. I've never been able to gain a clear understanding of that concept. So I quit trying. Pray for me please. I know this is important.
I heard Pastor Joe Sweet talk about you on one of his recent sermons ( I just love him and am so happy to have had the Lord allow me to "find" him on youtube.) So I had to look you up. I love you already!!!!!
The Lord does like trains. This was a very personal message. I'm no train buff but I do volunteer at a railroad museum in Enid. The Lord sent me a timely train a couple of days ago. Also the Lord revealed to me that He loves American trains because they built America and America supported israel.long story short. God does love trains and it would mean the world to me if you and Chris would come visit me at the Railroad museum of Oklahoma Enid ok.
You are so right Pastor! In 2018 I renewed my walk with God and was reading the Gospels. I got to John 9 where Jesus spit on the dirt and annointed the eyes of the man who was born blind. Immediately Holy Spirit "downloaded" understanding that He made the man some new eyes. I wept and was so grateful for the understanding that I was just given. Just like Adam was made from the dust of the earth Jesus made this man some new eyes from the dust of the earth. And this goes back to John 1. Nothing was made that was made without Him, The Word, Jesus. Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Absolutely! It’s so plain and true! I’ve heard so many sermons and teachings that I didn’t understand and thought I was just dumb. I see now it was that someone like John speaks to my spirit. I’m so thankful to have found him, but more: I’m finding Jesus through him. Thank You Lord!
Awesome lesson here. Over the decades & years of my life, I’ve experienced a lot of what you’re talking about in this video. Another very powerful lesson. Thank you so much John & may God the Father continue to bless you through Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
Yeah, my soul tells my body to do things that would put me in the ER. If I break something now it will stay broken. 8-). Thank you once again for the encouragement. And yay, I'm registered for the next Zoom! See you then.
My brother! I’M PRAISING GOD! finding your ministry! wow! it’s opened my eyes, and it’s TRULY BLESSED ME! (these home based, relationship based fellowships-is what i been longing for!! i pray FATHER, to meet the right people to fellowship with!!!
I invited Jesus into my life/heart in 1987 when I was struggling with doubts about whether He even exists or not. I no longer question His existence, but I seem really "hard of hearing" when it comes to spiritual things. I'm not even sure if I really speak in tongues since I only make 2 syllables. I have a biology degree and have always liked science. I wonder if science people have more trouble sensing the supernatural.
Concerning children and adults that have mental disabilities, I tend to think that they are perfectly happy. We are the ones that notice the difference, not them. It is like we humans viewed from God's perspective. We have no idea of the infinite power of God. It is so out of our understanding that we do not know how short we are of God's wisdom and knowledge, yet, He loves us. He is a good Father, and when time comes and takes us to eternity, we shall know even as I we are known. I Co. 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then, face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." and, "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." Psalm 17:15 My point is, no one on earth is valued any less or more by God based on his mental capabilities. I really appreciate the joy you have when you speak of the tender mercies of God for Chris. My best wishes to you your beautiful family.
very awesome, caution must be exercised for spiritual activity and "tuning your mind to the heart and spirit". Many have been led astray by this very process. Sew to the Spirit and reap life, submit yourself to God and the devil must flee, this is the "posture which must be present". Jesus said "if My words abide in you THAN I and the Father shall come in and sup with you. The Word of God must be fed upon, and for 99% of individuals the help of an elder is required, both to witness and help in discernment. The selection of the elder is also nothing to take lightly, and an on-line "elder" doesn't cut it.
@@karenm5681 Agreed and Amen.. Those would be Nicolaitins. Jesus had plenty ro say about - anyone who wants to get in between God and man other than our true and only mediator Jesus Christ.
We have a subconscious that constantly interacts, problem solves, interprets our environment. The unsaved use theirs as does the saved. How to tell which is us and which is God? I don't want my subconscious or imagination to masquerade as God or for me to credit either inappropriately.
I have been trying to find more non-auditorium fellowship. A month ago I started doing a Bible study with someone hosting these studies from International Christian Churches. I knew nothing about ICC. But it turns out they're cessationist, the Bible study leader refuses to acknowledge the direct influence and power of the Holy Spirit in modern times, and I did a little research on ICC and discovered that they have a reputation as being cultish in being completely dependent upon scripture and church leadership for ethics accountability (leaving out the direct influence of the Holy Spirit as a primary accountability factor). Meaning, young adults are dropping out of college and becoming slaves to their churches and browbeaten by paid staff against every misstep. I have to leave this. I am so frustrated. I feel like I can't find anyone *local* who puts the presence of God within oneself *as the identifying factor of one's salvation through Christ and visibility to the kingdom of God* according to scripture (e.g. John 15:4-7, Romans 8:13, etc) over and above membership to their auditorium church or their closed-minded denominations.
Eternally Minded Focus. The first thing that came to mind after reading your message was...Maybe you want to host a Home Church. I believe the Lord will be the teacher. I pray you find comfort and success in your search. Blessings 🙏🌹
Good for you for doing your research and knowing what you believe and why you believe it! I agree that a balance of both the Spirit and the Word is best.
Im not sensitive to my spirit but my friend taught me a way to focus my physical eyes in order to see the spiritual.. no mantra, nothing. Just a certain way to focus. Is that okay John?
John shared his experience when Jesus appeared to him in mexico & trained his spiritual senses to be more aware/ sensitive. So, i was just asking John how about training my physical eyes to be more aware / sensitive to my spirit?

This is the most cogent, practical description of the difference between body, soul, and spirit I've ever heard.

I love hearing your stories of spending time w/ Chris - it grows both my love and my faith.
Amen! I agree

The Lord God is ever gracious and loving and always gives his children what they really need. Thank you John :)
Wow, this is the first time that someone could explain this with me understanding. Thank the Lord for sending me to this channel 🙏 ❤
That was very well explained. I've always told people it's like i have two brains. One in my head and the other is in my belly. Stop laughing I didn't know how to tell people. LOL
This is such a perfect explanation for someone who is visual like me. Thank you for sharing red royce

Wow I thank God for John Fenn.
You most certainly are a blessing from the Lord. 🙏❤️
You do an outstanding job of explaining God's true meaning and will, Thank You.

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Good confirmation that I'm walking with God. I hear His voice. His Spirit bears witness to my spirit.
We love your teachings john
Awwww the Father is so nice!
Sir! You are such a blessing!😀
This is so practical and easy to follow! Thank you!

Me too. Maybe we need to have the kind of faith that believes God is for us, and our heart is submitted to him.
Help me understand Lord Jesus.
I've been pondering these mysteries, even frustrated, your teaching helps a lot. God Bless

Thank you John! So great to learn that, I will pay attention and in Jesus Christ Mighty name get great at it! Hallelujah and Amen!
Appreciate the practical analogy on how to hear more clearly. Thank you!
Yeah, my soul tells my body to do things that would put me in the ER. If I break something now it will stay broken. 8-). Thank you once again for the encouragement. And yay, I'm registered for the next Zoom! See you then.
i like to hear you talk about such things
Thank you so much, Sir.

rich zebco, I don't think an elder is required to help me understand what Scripture says. The Holy Spirit teaches me!

Or like when your heart breaks it's really your spirit.
Brother John, the settings on your camera need 'flipping'' horizontally.
We have a subconscious that constantly interacts, problem solves, interprets our environment. The unsaved use theirs as does the saved. How to tell which is us and which is God? I don't want my subconscious or imagination to masquerade as God or for me to credit either inappropriately.
Please tell me if you know of any home churches which truly follow the word of Our God
Check out his website. There’s a house church map!
I forgot I live in Benzie county in Northern Michigan
How do you find a home based church in your area?
Is a person's conscience the spirit speaking to them?
