Hearing God

FREE Video Teaching: How to Hear the Voice of God 101

By 2 Comments

How to Hear the Voice of God free video class | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comHi everybody! Do you wish that you heard God better? Do you wish you knew how to tell if you are hearing Him correctly? Or, are you even concerned that you may not hear God at all?

If any of these apply to you, or even if you’d just like to brush up on your hearing skills, I have a free gift for you today!

It’s my video teaching called How to Hear the Voice of God 101, and I’m offering it FREE to you for a limited time when you sign up for free email updates (or if you already receive email updates).

This is the video recording of the webinar I taught a few months ago by the same name. I originally taught this class free, and several hundred people signed up for the webinar or video replay at that time. I may eventually get this video up on my Gumroad store, but today I’m in the mood to kick a little enemy tail, so I’m making it available free again.

Hearing God correctly is one of the most important skills you can learn.

Hearing God accurately …

… and being confident in your ability to do so …

… is not merely important; it’s absolutely essential. And this class will help you do so. It will also encourage you, inspire you, equip you, and–I hope–reassure you … because if you have given your life to Jesus, you DO hear God. It’s just a matter of tuning your ears in to discern what you’re hearing. And you can do that!

The video is just over an hour in length. You can play it simply by clicking the link above. If you want to download it, just right-click on the video and download.

Enjoy! Many blessings to you, and I pray you’d be encouraged as you watch this class!

Love,

How To Get Heavenly Design For Your New Season (My #1 Technique)

By 9 Comments

How To Get Heavenly Design For Your New Season by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comYou’ve been tracking along with me in the last two posts (Heavenly Downloads For Your New Season and Heavenly Directives For Your New Season) in this series about the change in spiritual seasons. Now, it’s time for what everybody wants to know: HOW to get God’s vision for your new season and the practical next steps He wants you to take.

So today, I’m going to share with you my #1 technique for how to hear God for the next season of your life. I’m also going to make something available to you that I’ve never offered before. It’s something I made especially for my personal mentees, and I’ve never offered it to anyone else before.

First, let’s talk about how to get God’s vision for your new season, practically:

THE #1 way to get God’s vision for your life is to go on a vision retreat.

What is a vision retreat? A vision retreat is simply getting alone with God and being ready to receive. It can happen anywhere:

  • In your spare bedroom;
  • In your study;
  • In a cabin in the woods;
  • In a tent; or anywhere else you can be alone!

Your vision retreat doesn’t have to cost money. It doesn’t have to be fancy, and it doesn’t have to be long. It doesn’t even have to happen all at once.

Here are some examples of vision retreats I have taken, personally:

  • A couple of years ago, in November and December–my vision retreat happened over the course of two totally separate weekends. In November, I got alone with God while I was on vacation, and He began to talk to me about next year.
  • Then in December, I was in my bedroom, when the Holy Spirit whispered to me that I should get my planner out because He was ready to download for my next season. I did, and He unloaded.
  • In 2012, I went on a vision retreat at Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My husband and I stayed in a tent, and while he went sightseeing, I had an hour or two alone with God. It was at that time that God called me to build this blog.
  • A couple of years ago, I took an entire New Year’s Day to hear God and get organized for my new year. It set the tone for my whole year, and helped me feel rested, refreshed, invigorated, and READY for everything God had for me.

Prophetic Word: Be Filled With Light (Day 6 of Supernatural Encounters)

By 8 Comments

This entry is part 6 of 23 in the series 31 Days of Supernatural Encounters

31 Days of Supernatural Encounters | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | free devotional series on FromHisPresence.comWelcome to Day 6 of our 31 Days of Supernatural Encounters free devotional series!

(Click here for the series index.)

Every day of this series has four parts: Read, Know, Pray, and Listen. As you walk through this series, I pray that you would be powerfully impacted and that Holy Spirit would take you to a new level of intimacy with Jesus!

Day 6:

Read: 1 John 1:5-10

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:5-10).

Know:

When I asked the Lord what He wanted to say today, I felt Him brooding over, and yearning for, His kids who feel they have strayed too far to return to Him.

If that’s you, the Lord is saying to you today: [Read more…] about Prophetic Word: Be Filled With Light (Day 6 of Supernatural Encounters)

Day 4: How To Test the Spirits

By 11 Comments

This entry is part 4 of 23 in the series 31 Days of Supernatural Encounters

31 Days of Supernatural Encounters | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | free devotional series on FromHisPresence.comWelcome to Day 4 of our 31 Days of Supernatural Encounters free devotional series!

(Click here for the series index.)

Every day of this series has four parts: Read, Know, Pray, and Listen. As you walk through this series, I pray that you would be powerfully impacted and that Holy Spirit would take you to a new level of intimacy with Jesus!

Today, on Day 4, we’re talking about a foundational skill that you will need as we talk more about supernatural encounters this month. It’s how to test the spirits! Be sure to learn this skill well!

Read: 1 John 4:1-6

Know:

Second Corinthians 11:14 tells us that Satan can appear looking like an angel of light. And of course, you already know that his demons pretend to be telling the truth–even though they are only lying. As Jesus said to the unbelieving Jews:

Jesus said to them, ‘If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it'” (John 8:42-44).

The devil is a liar. His minions–the sinful, fallen angels, which we call “demons”–are liars too.

Therefore, it is very important that you know how to test the spirits, to know whether they are from God or not.

Do You Have an Inheritance Word?

By 30 Comments

An inheritance word is a special gift from God. Ask God for your inheritance word today, and He will give you one! By Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comHey beloved, guess what? God has an inheritance word for you, and today’s post will tell you how to find out what it is. 🙂

First, what is an inheritance word?

An inheritance word is a passage of Scripture that God speaks into your heart as His special gift to you forevermore.

It’s not the same as a Scripture that describes your calling. I have several of those, but they are not my inheritance word.

Your inheritance word describes something that God wants to be to you (in relationship), or something that He wants to do for you. It’s a promise He makes to you. It’s an expression of His love and watchcare over you for the rest of your life.

Your inheritance word will comfort you.

It will grip your heart so much that you will be able to stand on it, even when you don’t have the courage to stand on anything else.

Several years ago, I was going through a really tough time and I heard Graham Cooke mention his inheritance word in a sermon. I asked God for my own inheritance word, and this is what He gave me:

Start-quoteI will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore (Psalm 121:1-8).

I have meditated on this passage over and over since then. It means so much to me. Whenever I hear the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir song, “My Help,” that goes along with it, I cry like a baby.

God had my number when He spoke this passage to me. It’s His covenant with me to take care of me, no matter what. Even if I’m hurting, I know from my inheritance word that the Lord will keep me.

So would you like an inheritance word of your own?

Here’s how to get one:

  1. Get alone with God.
  2. Ask God to give you an inheritance word.
  3. Open your Bible.
  4. Read.

As you seek God about your inheritance word, He will show you a passage that will make you cry, laugh, whisper, or all three. When He does, ask Him if this is your inheritance word, and you will hear his response.

You will love that passage the rest of your life. It will calm you, comfort you, lift you up, encourage you, and grip your heart. You can claim it whenever you are feeling down. You can pray it when you are going through hard times.

Your inheritance word will become your story.

Are you ready for God to give you your inheritance word? If so, won’t you get alone with Him and ask Him for it today?

And when He gives you your word, would you let me know your report in the comments below? I’d love to hear about it!

How To Release Prophetic Worship (and Make It Easy)

By 2 Comments

How To Release Prophetic Worship | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.com

Have you ever wished you could sing a prophetic song, or that you could release prophetic worship in your prayer meeting or church service?

You can!

It’s easy to release prophetic worship when you don’t forget the “prophetic” part. 🙂

Sometimes people get intimidated by prophetic worship because they confuse it with spontaneous worship. Then they put a lot of pressure on themselves to conjure something up. If it doesn’t flow very well, the result is awkward worship … and you might get discouraged if your effort turns out awkwardly.

The good news is: ALL of God’s people can prophesy! And releasing prophetic worship is easy when you remember that the “prophetic” part makes up 50% of the phrase!

To bolster your confidence in prophetic worship, I am releasing a free video teaching today about how to release prophetic worship …

… and how to make it easy. 🙂

Here it is:

This vlog is 28 minutes long. In it, I teach 5 keys that will not only help you with prophetic worship, but also will help you flow in prophecy of any type. These tips will enhance your worship life whether you are on the platform or in the congregation!

By the way, see my blog post here about How To Win In Spiritual Warfare for practical tips about releasing the testimony of Jesus during worship.

After you watch, I’d love to hear from you! Do these tips help encourage you that you, too, can release prophetic worship? Please leave a comment below!
