Joel shared his spiritual journey and recent experiences, including evangelism training, visions, and healing encounters, emphasizing the importance of daily prayer and connection with God. He discussed the concept of Leviathan and the challenges of introducing others to the Lord, while also sharing insights on prayer, forgiveness, and the role of actions in faith. The group explored ways to share the gospel, including storytelling and personal testimony, and concluded with plans for a daily worship music session and a prayer focusing on God's love and authority.

Journey of Faith and Renewal
Joel shared his recent spiritual journey, including a week of intense evangelism training where he and others became ill but recovered with prayer and rest. He described a powerful moment of submission and surrender during the training when he realized how far he had distanced himself from God since childhood, leading to a profound experience of forgiveness and renewed connection with the Lord.

Joel's Spiritual Journey Insights
Joel shared his personal spiritual journey, emphasizing the importance of daily time with the Lord and the receipt of prophetic visions. He announced plans to start an 8 o'clock call featuring instrumental music to aid in spiritual focus. Joel also recounted a healing experience involving a WhatsApp group message he received from Jesus, which led to an immediate healing when shared with a group member experiencing illness. Finally, Joel discussed the concept of "Leviathan," referring to the resistance some people face when trying to introduce others to the Lord, and shared insights from a conversation with Doug on navigating these challenges.

Prayer and Sharing Jesus
Joel shared a message about prayer and sharing Jesus, emphasizing the importance of showing love and patience rather than simply stating intentions to pray. He explained that Jesus' forgiveness on the cross was delayed until the moment of death to ensure complete coverage, and he warned against the spirit of Leviathan that can twist religious intentions into offensiveness. The group discussed how to share Jesus with others, particularly during Thanksgiving, and Glen shared a personal reflection about humility in his hospital work.

Faith in Action: Bearing Witness
Joel discussed the importance of bearing witness through actions that reflect one's faith, emphasizing that works are evidence of faith rather than a means to earn salvation. He explained that true transformation leads to a desire to serve God and highlighted the example of the woman at the well, who shared the gospel out of understanding rather than seeking more from God. Joel also shared his experience of open-air preaching at a UCF game, where he encountered resistance from the enemy but successfully led two individuals to accept Jesus as their Savior.

Joel's Vision and Gospel Message
Joel shared a personal spiritual experience where he felt connected to Jesus as a little boy and discussed his approach to sharing the gospel through storytelling and personal testimony. He described a vision he had involving a map with red and green lines representing the blood of Jesus and divine guidance, followed by a dream about a World War II troop transport plane dropping packages that turned into pools/jacuzzis for people in white robes. The vision concluded with a cross in the sky and a lion breathing fire, which Joel interpreted as a message about surrender and divine presence.

Daily Worship and Healing Session
Joel shared his recent spiritual experiences, including a vision of Jesus and a deliverance prayer for a woman with demonic influences. He emphasized the importance of spending time in prayer and listening to God's voice. Joel announced he would start a daily 8 AM worship music session for the group to help maintain a spiritual focus. Glen reported improvement in his arm pain, which the group attributed to answered prayers. The conversation ended with a prayer led by Joel, focusing on God's love and the authority believers have through Jesus Christ.

He explained how his brother's lack of faith and failure to invest his life led to his spiritual and physical decline, contrasting with Joel's own journey of faith and healing. Joel concluded by discussing the biblical principles of choosing life over death and blessing over cursing, emphasizing the importance of faith, forgiveness, and obedience to God's commandments.

He explored the concept of soul ties, including those formed through sexual sin, control dynamics, and spiritual leadership, and highlighted how the enemy exploits spilled seed to create spiritual entities. Joel also shared his personal repentance process for past actions that may have facilitated spiritual connections with marine spirits, emphasizing the importance of addressing such issues to enhance one's spiritual presence and avoid spiritual curses.

Forgiveness and Healing Connection

He then focused on autoimmune diseases, asserting that they are curable and that God promises healing for all diseases, linking forgiveness and repentance to physical health.

We removed the group introductions, etc and went straight into the message on this edition. There is much to share here. Holy Spirit is fulfilling God's desire: To bring one body together. We are seeing unification "Mind of Christ". There are may questions that are coming up in these times. This video is here for those seeking His Face. Seeking Him. We come in the name of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God is at (His) Hand.

One of the messages briefly mentioned is Isaiah 59:2, says, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear". However, some interpretations suggest God hears all prayers but chooses not to answer those in rebellion, while the only prayer He hears from a sinner is for salvation.

Biblical support for the idea that God doesn't hear rebellious prayers:
Isaiah 59:2: "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear".

Proverbs 15:29: "The Lord does not listen to the wicked, but he hears the prayers of those who do right".

John 9:31: "Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him".

Psalm 66:18: "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear".

Alternative and nuanced interpretations:
God hears, but doesn't act: Some believe God hears the prayers of the rebellious but may not answer them due to the person's choices and the consequences of living in rebellion.

The prayer for salvation: It is believed that the one prayer God does hear from a sinner is a prayer for salvation.

The prayer of a repentant heart: This view emphasizes the importance of repentance. God notices the humble and contrite spirit. The prayer of a rebellious person is only an abomination if they refuse to turn away from sin and hear the law.

What this means in practice:

Confession is key: To have prayers heard, one must confess sins, agree with God about them, and ask for forgiveness. LISTEN to the message of the Prodigal Son.

Motivation matters: The reason behind the prayer is important. Asking for selfish reasons, like to satisfy your own pleasures, can hinder prayers from being answered. This is why prayer must be in the NAME of Jesus. Recognized Requests.

Prayer, Fasting, and Spiritual Warfare
Joel discussed the spiritual significance of prayer and fasting, emphasizing the importance of releasing our burdens to God and trusting in His plan. He explained the difference between declaring, decreeing, and petitioning, highlighting that declaring involves agreeing with God's Word, decreeing involves enforcing Heaven's will, and petitioning involves making humble requests to God. Joel also stressed the importance of humility and spiritual warfare, encouraging believers to rely on prayer, fasting, and community support rather than isolating themselves.

Sonship and Healing Prayer Session
Joel led a prayer and teaching session on sonship through the Spirit, emphasizing the importance of declaring and decreeing God's Word. He encouraged participants to incorporate Scripture in their prayers and to come into agreement with God's truth.

Jennifer shared insights about Giovanni's healing process, noting that it involves dealing with deep-seated layers of ancestral issues. The session concluded with a discussion about the proper order of loosing and binding in prayer, with Joel explaining that one should first rebuke the infirmity before loosing it in the name of Jesus.

Overview: We start with Joel's recent experiences with healing ministry and divine appointments, including encounters with prophets and miraculous healings in Vietnam. Discussions covered spiritual growth, prophetic ministry, and the importance of submission and unity in relationships, with Matthew sharing insights about marriage and apostolic headship. The group explored how spiritual gifts and character development can coexist, and concluded with messages about forgiveness, family time, and the role of submission in relationships.

Miraculous Healing in Vietnam
A trip to New York where Joel attended a healing event and met a prophet who has helped 400 churches in Asia. He described a miraculous healing of a man in Vietnam who was on a deathbed, involving spiritual warfare against a serpent spirit and the use of Ezekiel 37:1-14 for prayer. Joel also mentioned that the healing was confirmed by the man's wife, who reported that he was pain-free for the first time in years and felt energy in his atrophied muscles.

Joel shared his experience of a divine appointment at an airport where he listened to a prophetic message that led him to attend a tent revival event. The Holy Spirit confirmed his attendance through multiple signs, including a dream and a delayed flight, and Joel ended up speaking at the event. A prophet named Tigi prophesied over Joel, affirming his calling as a teacher and speaker, and Joel felt a strong sense of confirmation about his future ministry work.

Prophetic Ministry and Healing Encounters
Joel discussed his growing prophetic gifts and his understanding of Revelation 19:10 as a guiding verse for prophetic ministry. Matthew suggested using the railroad analogy to describe how this verse provides clear direction for the prophetic ministry, similar to how a train follows its tracks. Joel expressed gratitude for Matthew's insights and shared his joy in participating in God's work, describing it as a fun and fulfilling experience.

Forgiveness and Spiritual Growth
Joel shared a message from the Holy Spirit about forgiveness in heaven and the importance of repentance and releasing unforgiveness.

They explored the topic of spiritual gifts and character, with Matthew sharing insights from "God's Generals" about how spiritual gifts can coexist with personal challenges and failures.

Marriage Prioritization in Ministry

He emphasized the importance of listening to one's spouse and understanding that a healthy marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church. Matthew also discussed how his realization of these principles led to a reformation of his ministry approach, highlighting that a strong marriage can serve as a source of blessing and spiritual multiplication for others.

Marital Transformation Through Submission

He emphasized that while sincerity is important, concrete actions are needed for true transformation. Matthew also discussed how women can support their marriages by identifying and addressing the devil's accusations against their husbands, suggesting that physical changes can remove these accusations and strengthen the marital relationship.

Family, Submission, and Healing
Joel encouraged everyone to surprise their husbands or wives. He discussed the concept of submission, emphasizing what Matt had shared earlier in that wives should first submit to the Lord, which will help them submit to their husbands. Joel also shared a personal example about compromising with his wife to spend time together, and stressed the importance of addressing complaints and removing bitterness.

A Great Word | Matt and Joel | Marriage Type and Shadow Part 1

A good video where Matt and I chew and kick around some topics that are relevant today. Topics in this section are circled around earthly and heavenly marriage, the flow of blessings that comes through the headship when the marriage covenant is upheld. Matt lays down some great verbal foundation for which to build a defense against the enemy trying to attack your marriage. "Be content with your pay". Matt links this to marriage and submission flow.

Holy Spirit gave me the word "Fealty" calling . This word means a solemn vow of intense loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion to the Trinity of God the Father, Jesus the Son and The Holy Ghost. It involves a disciplined allegiance and an oath to be FAITHFUL, similar to the medieval pledge of fealty to a lord, but applied to a religious context. This commitment is a core aspect of many faiths, such as Christians swearing fealty to God. Amen!

Key aspects of spiritual fealty:
An oath of loyalty: At its heart, spiritual fealty is a promise of faithfulness and devotion.
Allegiance to a higher power: It is most often applied to the commitment individuals make to a deity, like God or Christ.
A disciplined commitment: It can be seen as a disciplined allegiance that requires self-discipline and resolution to stay on course, curbing impulsive desires.
Action and intent: This spiritual loyalty is not just a feeling but is demonstrated through actions, as seen in the biblical story of Abraham's willingness to obey God.

Also, I mentioned the covenant ceremony in Genesis 15. One thing i do want to say is I am still working on the full understanding of what was being communicated to Abram in the Vision. Here is a deeper dive to that dream (because i spoke about refinement tools being used in the covenant). Here is the more detailed understanding of that vision:

The setting: After God reassures Abram that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars, Abram asks for a sign to know that he will inherit the promised land.
The ritual: Following God's instructions, Abram prepares for an ancient Near Eastern covenant ritual. He slaughters several animals, cuts them in two, and lays the halves opposite one another. In such ceremonies, the two parties making the covenant would walk between the pieces, declaring that a similar fate should befall them if they broke the agreement.
The divine manifestation: A "thick and dreadful darkness" falls upon Abram, and only a smoking firepot and a flaming torch pass between the animal pieces. Abram, having been put into a deep sleep, does not walk through them. This visual display is a theophany—a visible manifestation of God.
Symbolic meaning of the firepot and torch
God's presence: The firepot (often translated as a furnace or brazier) and torch together represent God's holy and powerful presence. This imagery recalls the pillars of cloud and fire that would later guide the Israelites during the Exodus.
Unilateral commitment: By walking between the halves alone, God takes the covenant curse upon himself. This signifies that the covenant's fulfillment rests entirely on God's character and faithfulness, not on Abram's. It is a binding, one-way promise from God.
Judgment and salvation: Interpreters often see the two elements representing two facets of God. The smoking firepot or furnace can symbolize judgment or affliction, foreshadowing the 400 years of enslavement Abram's descendants would endure in Egypt. The flaming torch represents God's purifying light and his guidance, signifying that he would deliver his people and lead them to the promised land.

Deliverance from Legalistic Condemnation

Joel led a Bible study discussion focusing on Galatians 1-2, emphasizing two key deliverances mentioned in the text: being delivered from the present evil age and from the law. He explained how the Sadducees and Pharisees had distorted the law into a system of obedience rather than relationship, using it as a tool for control. The discussion highlighted how Jesus came to free people from the legalistic condemnation and death associated with the law, contrasting with the religious leaders who opposed this message of freedom.

Faith, Temptation, and Holy Signs

Joel led a Bible study on Galatians, discussing themes of justification by faith versus the law, deliverance from sin, and crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires. Lori shared a personal experience of finding a photograph in Colorado that resembled a location she had seen, which Joel interpreted as a sign from the Holy Spirit. The group also discussed the importance of recognizing and overcoming temptation as a sign of belonging to Christ. Finally, they read Galatians 6:12-14, which addressed the dangers of seeking human approval through circumcision and other fleshly desires.

Spiritual Growth and Divine Guidance

Joel led a discussion on spiritual growth and overcoming obstacles, emphasizing the importance of aligning with God's will and focusing on the fruits of the Spirit. He explained how these virtues bring blessings and lead to a deeper connection with God. Joel also shared insights on Jesus' sacrifice and how it enables believers to receive blessings and share in God's glory. The group discussed the concept of confirmation from the Holy Spirit and the importance of recognizing and acting on divine guidance. They agreed to meet again the next day for further spiritual exercises and prayer.
