"In the presence of God:
4 You will have to accept what God tells you when you are there.

God knows your dreams. God knows your heart. God has a word for you. God has your answers, every one. But not every word from God is one you want to hear. You have created a religion for yourself that has been demanding from God for so long, that the idea that God would do something contrary to your desires and wants, is foreign to your thinking. You want a - rub the lamp three times - give me my wishes genie, that gets in the bottle and leaves you alone when you are finished with him. If you want to go to this place, in the presence of God, in the inner court, the holy of holies, that place where God is God and you are in Him, this place where you lose your own ego long enough to receive God's very best for you, you will have to accept what God tells you when we are there.

Listen carefully:

• You get into God's presence when you read the scriptures.
• You get into God's presence when you share our faith.
• You get into God's presence when you worship.
• You get into God's presence when you praise.
• You get into God's presence when you pray.
• You get into God's presence when you supplicate."

"In the presence of God:
3  You will have to accept what God gives you.

When you leave this place, (the presence of God) having been there is enough. But God will ask, "when are you coming back? I have more to give you." I know that some of you are thinking, "I'll bet this is another ploy to get me to be more holy or be a better person, or to learn to live with what I have, or to be better to my wife or husband or somehow he is going to fit in giving more to the church."  I'm sorry to let you down. I want to take you to this place (the presence of God) where it is all consumed by God.

I hear another voice, "but you don't understand what I'm going through." Or, "I'm mad at God, He has not been there for me." Or, "He hasn't healed me." Or, "He hasn't blessed me financially and I've been tithing for years."  Or, "He hasn't saved my kids." 

I'm here to tell you without any doubt that the moment you get into the presence of God, in the inner court, the holy of holies, that place where God is God and you are in Him, you won't speak another word about your circumstances, because you are going to come out of His presence, not as concerned as you were going in. The things that mattered going in are consumed by God and He has something to give you that transcends whatever it is that is on your mind."

"In the presence of God:
2 You will have to abandon your pre-conceived idea of what you will receive from God.

God doesn't want you and I coming into His presence having it all figured out, nor does He want you and I coming into His presence with pre-conceived ideas of what we will receive.

Don't get me wrong, if we were talking about prayer, you have every right to pray in faith believing with expectation that you will receive what God reveals to you that you should have.


But this place, this inner court, this holy of holies, this place where you present yourself to God, with no agenda - This place where you say not my will, but thine and mean it - This place where you give it all up, you don't come away from this place disappointed.

• You don't come away from this place empty handed.
• You don't come away from this place with questions.
• You don't come away from this place seeking something else.
• You don't come away from this place not quite sure if it was God.
• you don't come away from this place the same person as you went.

God has a way of dealing with pre-conceived ideas. He shows you the results of what you want and then holds up the results of what He wants you to want. Which one would you want? God says, "think it up and bring it to me and I will show you what it looks like with God in it."

"Do you want to go into the very presence of God?
1 You will have to be prepared to be changed.
2 You will have to abandon your pre-conceived idea of what you will receive from God.
3 You will have to accept what God gives to you.
4 You will have to accept what God tells you when you are there.

Let's look at each of these prerequisites to understanding and experiencing the presence of God the way that God designed us to receive from Him.

1. You will have to be prepared to be changed.

Some people think they are communing with God, but there is no evidence that they are being changed. They think they have been in the inner chamber, the holy of holies, but when they come out there's no Shekinah glory, no brokenness, no proof written across their face. There is no evidence of having been with God; no word from God, no direction, no promise, no power. My God, if you are not changed - you haven't been there."

"I want to talk about that other place for a short time. That other place being where you are nearer to God:

• So near that you can feel His presence
• So near that you can hear His voice
• So near that you can bring back from that place something you did not take with you

This place is for those who want to experience God in the most intimate way possible.

God is everywhere, all the time. God does not need to leave one place to get to the other, nor does God need to stop one conversation to start another. Nor does God need to stop listening to you to listen to another. God is always communicating with you. God is always present. In a sense you are always in God's presence, but in a sense you are not. You could get into the very presence of God right now, or not, but God is present.

The level of intensity or closeness you experience is determined by where you put yourself in God's presence. You can keep God at a distance, in a sense, or you can ask Him into what you are doing. You can share with God every moment or most moments or some moments or few moments or no moments.

• You get into God's presence when you read the scriptures.
• You get into God's presence when you share your faith.
• You get into God's presence when you worship.
• You get into God's presence when you praise.
• You get into God's presence when you pray.
• You get into God's presence when you supplicate.

In all of these places, you get into the presence of God, not because God wasn't there or isn't here to start with; you get into the presence of God because you consciously bring yourself into God's presence.

James 4:8 "Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you..." John 4:23-24 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him, God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must Worship Him in spirit and truth." Colossians 3:1 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God."

"When we are there, (that place where we consciously bring our self) it can be as good or as delightful or as powerful as we allow it to be:

• Based on the circumstances of the moment
• Based on the ambiance of the place we are at
• Based on the type of communication we are looking for at the time
• Based on how much time we intend to spend in the presence of God
• Based on what we are seeking

Mixed with our blood sugar level, our mental state, our measure of faith and our knowledge base. When we read the scriptures, share our faith, worship, praise or pray, we set conditions and time constraints and there are distractions and a multitude of other components that may or may not interfere with our moments with God. All of this is because we are in the world, and the world is full of demonic activity, wickedness, noise & evil of every sort.

It seems like an impossible task, to get in a place with God where we can dwell in Him and bask in His glory. Here's why. Even though God is always present, we are not always in His presence, because we are not always presenting ourselves to Him. God is always presenting Himself to us, but we are not always presenting ourselves to Him. If we want an inner court experience that takes us behind the veil, in the very presence of God, we will have to bring our faith, seek God diligently, present ourselves to Him, without reservation, and be prepared to commune with Him in awe."

"God-thinking is for everyone that wants to go from where they are to another place, spiritually.

• Even if where you are is a very good place.
• Even if you are satisfied that you have obeyed God in your daily walk.
• Even if you are convinced that you are in line with God's Word in the way you live.
• Even if you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
• Even if you have laid hands on the sick and watched them be healed.
• Even if you have raised the dead.

As time goes on, you will find yourself in want for even a closer walk, more understanding, maybe a touch from God or answers to difficult questions.

• Even if you fully understand your place in Christ.
• Even if you realize you have been placed in the heavenlies.
• Even if you fully acknowledge that you are dead to sin.
• Even if you fully grasp all that Christ has done for you, all that the Father has done for you and all that the Holy Spirit is doing in you and through you, you want a deeper experience with God.

It's how God made us. He made us to ever seek Him, ever find Him, ever experience Him. None of us have reached a place where we know all of God. And because of this truth we seek moments with Him that help us to get from where we are to that other place or that next place."

"You must be careful not to allow your experience with God to be less than it can be because you are trying to appease others. It's time to let God have His way with you. Others have had their way long enough. Don't wait another day to break away from every negative statement, every faithless word, every man made doctrine, every word spoken against our faith and believe and trust God.

I wrote this portion over and over again, trying to leave out the sting that I kept feeling. But again and again the Lord kept pressing me with His Word. Matthew 10:32-38 "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. V33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. V34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. V35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. V36 And a man=s foes shall be they of his own household. V37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. V38 And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."

• We need each other.
• We need our friends.
• We need for our relationships to be the very best they can be.
• We need our husbands and wives.
• We need our fathers and mothers.
• We need our parents and children.

But we need a right relationship with God if we are to ever experience a right relationship with our friends and family. And this right relationship comes with personal experience.

Can you take a few moments and experience the presence of God right now?  God is pleased when we exercise our faith.  Has God has been tugging on your heart today  to break away from something?  Now is the time.  God-thinking requires that we move when God speaks to us.  If God is speaking to you, please listen.  Experience the freedom that comes with obeying God."

"There are two reasons why I am putting so much emphasis on the generational inheritance of spiritual values.

1 Even if your spiritual heritage was/is excellent and even if those before you set a good example, and even if they taught all the right things and represented God with unflinching faith - You need to know that none of what someone else learned of God or did with God will be posted to your account. In other words you and I must establish our own relationship with God by personal experience. If your spiritual heritage was excellent it may have given you a good start, but the fulness of revelation for each generation must come by personal experience.

2 The second reason we are spending so much time on this subject - If those before you set a poor example or mis-represented the Word of God, you may have been taught things that are not true or worse. If this is who went before you, you will have to break away from these influences. You will have to break away from these influences, before you can establish on your own, a right relationship with God by personal relationship.

You and I can be nice about this, but you and I have got to break away from the words and attitudes that disarm or dilute God's Holy Word if we are to enjoy God.

• If what you are hearing has been causing confusion, break away.
• If you have friends that don't honor God with their being, break away from their influence.
• If you have something in your life that has control, then God doesn't. It's time to break away - once and for all and separate yourself from that thing or that person that is throwing water on your wick.
• If you have a husband or a wife, a father or mother, a son or daughter, that keep you from your spiritual best, break away (not from them as a person), but break away from their declining spiritual condition.

When you and I stand before God, only Christ will be there with us, not husband, wife, father, mother, son or daughter.  Draw nigh unto God, get alone with Him and He will give you peace.  God will enhance your relationship with your husband, wife, father, mother, son or daughter if you will break away and let God fill you up.  Let God have you.

"God is looking for someone to break away from societies religious mold and trust Him.

• Someone who responds when God calls.
• Someone who believes what God says.
• Someone who will train his or her entire family in the things of God.
• Someone that will not hide their faith.
• Someone that makes a vow and keeps it.
• Someone that isn't in it for themself.
• Someone that means what they say.

We must not rest on the truth that was discovered by others. We must search the scriptures and find truth for ourselves.
It is our own experience with God that will determine:

• Revealed truth.
• Our walk with God.
• Our faithfulness to the things of God.
• Our ability to hear the voice of God.
• The gifts we receive from God.
• And the power and authority we receive from God.

"Each generation of men and women accumulate rules, ordinances & precepts that fit their needs, times, circumstances & culture. They sometimes move away from the original intent that God designed. When this happens, religion is borne. It is this constant cycle that each of us is faced with that we must overcome.

Can you transcend the cycle that births complacency in your worship and endorses ignorance through vain repetition? If you cannot transcend this vicious and debilitating cycle, you are bound by default to repeat the errors of those before you. Yur relationship will be no more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees of Jesus's day. Listen carefully to what Jesus said to the Pharisees about the religion in their life.

Matthew 12:1-9  "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, V2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash their hands when they eat bread." From the International Children's Bible V3 Jesus said, "And why do you refuse to obey God's command so that you can follow these rules you have? V4 God said, Honor your father and mother. And God also said, Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death. V5 But you say, that a person can tell his father or mother, I have something I could use to help you. But I will not use it for you. I will give it to God.  V6 You teach that person not to honor his father. You teach that it is not important to do what God said. You think it is more important to follow the rules you have. V7 You are hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he spoke about you: KJV V8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.  V9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

"We must set aside the religion of our predecessors in exchange for personal experience. At the end of each generation's life span rests the culmination, the accumulated sum, of revealed truth, for that generation. It is this accumulated sum of revealed truth that builds the foundation for the next generation. This is how religious philosophy/theology is handled. Profound truths are revealed as they are discovered or unveiled. And that revelation is passed on from generation to generation.

Psalm 145:3-4 says "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty works."

God bless those who endeavor to pass the baton with power, authority and integrity. As each generation comes along, they/we must weed through what the previous generation discovered and gleam the gold and silver off the top and put it "on top" in our mind, and push down and away all that is dross, (the impurities).

"Generation to generation to generation two things happen: First the faith of one is revealed to another and second the false beliefs and faithlessness of one is revealed to another. There is a process that takes place in each generation that each of us participate in, knowingly or unknowingly. Each generation of: Clergy - Philosophers - Teachers - Politicians - Fathers & Mothers, rear its leaders and arms them with the most profound truths that they have experienced. If the generation before us experienced the presence of God, their experiences can provide us with a strong foundation on which to build our faith. On the other hand, if the generation before us did not experience the presence of God, their experiences do little more than confuse us.

2 Timothy 2:15-16 "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. But shun profane and vain babbling: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."

From the experiences of those before us religion is borne. But, in and through our own experiences religion must be set aside:

• If we are to go further than those before us
• If we are to pick up the torch and represent the truth
• If we are to commune with God and respond to God
• If we are to hear the voice of God
• If we are to be in what God is doing in our generation"

"In my life, God-thinking has taken on an identity. After all, the whole idea behind God-thinking is to steer us to think thoughts that produce godly fruit. There are three things that God-thinking must accomplish in order to be true to itself:
 1 To expose false precepts, false principles and false beliefs, by re-defining the way you think, through sound scriptural exegesis, mixed with faith and faithfulness.


2 To reveal simple truths without regard for, or bias towards religious or denominational preferences.


3 To believe, proclaim and agree with the infallible Word of God as it is imparted to you experientially.

God-thinking is not anything in itself, and has no intrinsic value of its own; no meaning of efficacy apart from steering the listener/reader to respond to God. It is in responding to God that God-thinking exists. It is in responding to God that our experience with God exist. Each of us must experience God on our own.

Yes, we experience God together collectively also.  Yes, the positive experiences of others can influence us and sometimes teach us, but those who have not experienced God themselves personally, are not experiencing God collectively either.  They are experiencing the joy, excitement, blessings and benefits of being around others who are experiencing God.  It=s time to experience God.  It=s time to take God at his Word.  It=s time to set aside all the hand me down religious platitudes and sentiments that have kept you constrained and powerless and exchange it all for a moment with God.  Receive God and experience His peace."

"Religion allows for all sorts of organized defects in our relationship with God.  It was not intended to be that way, nor does it have to be that way.  Trust God.  If you want to grow spiritually, you must move on what God has already spoken into your life. 

Please don=t let your mind be filled with the messages of the naysayers, negative thinkers, faithless people, unbelief, filled with negative messages from friends, spouses, parents, children, people filled with the lies of the world, Hollywood trash, media hype and demonic oppression.  Don=t let your mind be the thing that keeps you from being faithful to God.  Despite what they all say, you can receive whatever you command your mind to believe.  Today, trust God, and receive the gift of God, that God has been storing up just for you."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2010

Thought for the day

"Most people believe their worst enemy is satan. It is not. Our worst enemy is procrastination. Procrastination and waiting are two completely different entities. Waiting refers to setting aside needed and productive time to get from point A to point B. Procrastination is purposefully not responding to something imperative or of the moment.

Waiting refers to patience. Procrastination refers to disobedience. To be in God's timing you need to respond simultaneously to His call, direction, command. To be out of God's timing you respond when you want to or when you feel like it - counting on the unknown future to constantly supply the same provisions for success as is supplied in the moment.


Missing this truth has kept you from and will continue to keep you from:

• Spiritual growth
• Receiving gifts of the Spirit
• Emotional, Material, soulical and Spiritual blessings
• Answered prayer

Lives are saved, perils thwarted when someone responds to the moment.  I have saved lives by spontaneous response to eminent danger. I'm sure most of you have had similar experiences. God created you to respond (at the moment). God-thinking requires you respond at the moment of contact with your heavenly Father. Anything less is not faith, it is religion."

"I want to share with you why it is so important that we get the truth about being faithful straight:

• Becoming faithful or becoming more faithful to God does not cost us more money.
• It does not take any more of our time.
• It does not require any special duties to the church.
• It does not ask for something we do not have.
• You do not need more books.
• You need nothing more than what you already have.
• You need only respond when God calls.

"Hear this carefully.  You must have an interactive relationship with God.  God is the creator.  You are first responsive/reactive beings responding to the creator.  God leads, you follow. 

But second, you are a creative being, by free will that God gave you and entrusted you with.  When you are responding or reacting, you are responding or reacting to God=s suggestive will - you respond positively or negatively - in agreement or disagreement with God=s suggestive will by your free will. 

When you are creating, (pro-actively being what God created you to be), God responds positively or negatively based upon His express will.  If you are in line with God=s express will, God=s response is positive, fulfilling what you are creating, because you are creating what is God=s express will. 

If you are not in line with God=s express will, God=s response will seem to be negative to you, because you will not receive what you perceived you would receive; you will not see the fruition of your intent manifest.  But you can rest assured that the response from God was positive and fulfilling, because God cannot respond negatively, in that even NO, can fulfill God=s express will, which is always perfect and righteous."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2010

Thought for the day

"Your relationship with God is interactive, not static as some purport. Static is described in two ways. First, God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. God sets it in motion and is then separated from it until it runs its course. Second, God creates the heaven and the earth and all that is in it. God sets it in motion and occasionally checks in to see how it is going - tweaks it a little here and a little there and moves on until a later date.

Interactive is accurately defined like this:
God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. God set it in motion and all that is in it, by His Spirit, and interacts by His will and in response to your will.

"There will come a time when your faith will be tested by the elements to see if it is real faith. When the test of faith comes:

your thought
   your reflection
      your meditation
         your ruminations must be;
Not my will, but Thy will, Oh Lord.

Whether you worship in a traditional way, whether you are Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Prophetic or Apostolic - faithful transcends them all. Faithful transcends title, position, education, station, philosophical bent, religious order and age."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell copyright 2010

Thought for the day

"God is looking for the faithful, those who are not seeking loopholes in God's plan, but those who believe it. Many are called, but few are chosen. Many Christians today believe that knowledge of salvation is the same as experiencing salvation. Many believe that knowledge of being filled with the Spirit is the same as being filled with the Spirit. Many believe that knowledge of the righteousness of Christ is the same as experience the righteousness of Christ.

• The faithful seek out ways to be in His presence, not ways to escape His presence.
• The faithful seek opportunity to serve, not swerve.
• The faithful seek new ways to obey God, not new ways to justify old habits.

God-thinking holds that the kind of faith that trusts God is the real faith and the kind of faith that manipulates God is not faith at all."

Thought for the day

"Can you imagine a world where the unfaithful, those who blatantly disregard the Savior and those who love not the things of God, could, by faith, accomplish in prayer, their hearts desire? God makes it clear in His Word that He gives us faith according to our faithfulness. 

What does this mean?
It means that too many people want to see the results of supernatural faith, without providing a faithful vessel for the supernatural faith to be placed in. Moreover, false teaching and poor teaching have allowed many to think of God as a magical genie kind of God. There is a group that think God just flippantly performs great feats upon command.

God is looking for men, women, teens, youth and children that seek His face. Those who are not satisfied until they hear the voice of God. Those who will not let up until God reveals Himself and then they will not let up because God revealed Himself."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell copyright 2010

"There are three distinct truths that we must understand and practice if we are to be faithful and find our true place in God's economy.

1 Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
2 Faith is given by God, and cannot be earned through works.
3 Faith (that is given by God) will not exceed our faithfulness to the things of God.

Proverbs 28:20 "A faithful man shall abound with blessings...." Can we have unswerving faith as James describes, without unswerving faithfulness? Luke 16:10 says "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2010

Thought for the day

"If it is prophesied that you have received a supernatural gift, receive it, receive it now and be faithful to the gift. Some of you have received a mighty gift from God; your spirit has received it; your heart has sensed it, but your mind will not receive it. Don't wait another moment. Acknowledge your gift before Almighty God and get on with it. Matthew 5:13-16 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost it's savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. V14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is det on an hill cannot be hid.  V15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. V16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

God-thinking moves to action in the moment. If and when you hear from God, it's not meant to be rationalized, it's meant to moved on. The faithful move when God speaks, because they are compelled to. Even though the faithful can choose not to respond to the Lord, they don=t. They choose to respond when God speaks. That's why age, education, denominational heritage, past work and style of worship do not determine who God chooses to use to do His pleasure. God chooses those who will do it."

"God-thinking says:

• It's OK to be good to others.
• It's OK to reach for the high goals, the impossible goals.
• It's OK to receive from God, day after day, hour after hour.
• It's OK to serve the Father and humble ourselves before Him.
• It's OK to obey God and choose the better path.
• It's OK to receive a gift from God and to have spiritual responsibilities.
• It's OK to receive your miracle. Don't have miracle survivors guilt. Rejoice in that God worked His mighty power in you.
• It's OK to hold fast to your faith when other scoff you.
• It's OK to bow before the Father and be a fool for the Lord.
• It's OK to be faithful when others are taking a lesser route.

For once, we need to be faithful to God without making a deal. Do you hear what I am saying?"

Thought for the day

"You are going to be blessed. Someone will double their faith today, but if you are reading/hearing this and you decide to continue on, you will not be able to resist this truth.

If in your thinking you cannot transcend the conspicuous you will not experience the miraculous."

Thought for the day

"If it is the outcome of prayer that you build your faith, it is no faith at all. Faith must be blind to every outcome, every negative thought, every idle word that could derail it (faith) from its mission. For the mission and the substance of faith are both supernatural and require interaction by God to fulfill its intended purpose. The mind is only the host of faith, faith being given by God. This faith that is given by God is given in measure in equal proportion to your faithfulness.

Nehemiah 7:1-2 "Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, (the wall around Jerusalem), and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed. V2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many."

God-thinking purports it is noble to be faithful unto God. Right here is where so many well meaning Christians get confused. They think they are responsible for their measure of faith and they are not.

You are responsible for your faithfulness, but God gives the faith."
