The 21 Keys God Gave Me | Life-Changing Testimony | Carl Wesley Anderson

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,480
So I'm sitting on the swing and I decided to ask the Lord a question I had not asked him yet,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,280
but a very serious question. I said, Lord,

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,840
am I going to live or am I going to die from this disease? I'd like to know right now.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,960
Carl Wesley Anderson, it's great to have you here on Charisma to share your story of how God

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,680
has spoken to you and you hearing his voice has changed the direction of your life in dramatic

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,240
ways. And God actually gave you 21 keys. We're going to talk about some of those here, but

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,720
welcome to Charisma. Thank you, John. And hello to our Charisma audience. I'm super excited to be

8
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:43,200
here and yeah, share some testimonies of how God has been faithful to me and how he can be faithful

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,480
to you. Amen. Amen. Carl, the last time that you and I talked was in preparation for an interview

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,960
that you did with Stephen Strang on the Strang Report talking about the short documentary that

11
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,440
you did about the life of St. Patrick. That was around St. Patrick's Day, so it was very appropriate,

12
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,320
but that was just part of this series that you have with Love Speaks. Tell me about how God took

13
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:18,480
you from being a missionary to being a producer, documentarian, filmmaker with this Love Speaks

14
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:25,120
program. Great. Yeah, John. So the story goes back. My initial calling was to equipping evangelism,

15
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,960
which is kind of unique. I equip the church and in this case to hear the voice of God more clearly

16
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,640
and more often. So I'd been traveling, I'd been to 24 nations for the Lord, sharing in many churches

17
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,560
and Bible schools and settings like that. And really being a missionary of touching many,

18
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,120
many denominations and backgrounds. I love that part of my calling that I get to sort of dance

19
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,800
with many groups that all hold different theological views, but all love Jesus Christ.

20
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,120
And where Love Speaks came out of both the book and the documentary film series and the master

21
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:07,920
class, kind of the whole training equipping platform, is that about 10 years ago, I got a

22
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:15,600
very serious form of cancer. It was melanoma, stage 3B, began right here on my leg, spread into my

23
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,680
lymph nodes. And before I caught it, it had become very, very deadly. And I remember that summer

24
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,240
deciding that I would seek the Lord no matter what, that He is faithful even though we have

25
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,760
to battle through things that we cannot understand. I looked at this battle as a battle for my life,

26
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,280
because the Lord said the enemy is trying to kill you before your time. So I take that seriously,

27
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,040
like, okay, I'm under attack, and this cancer is a disease that's trying to take me out.

28
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,760
So when I went to seek the Lord, it was that I wanted to know from Him initially which treatment

29
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,600
to take. Because with melanoma, it's a very particular kind of cancer that basically hides

30
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:04,320
itself in your body. So my body couldn't detect it as a threat, my immune system. So they give you

31
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,240
very powerful drugs in treating it that, you know, that I talk about this in the article, they heighten

32
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,280
your immune system, but they give you a fever. So I knew I had to take one of those. I sought the Lord.

33
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,360
And the first thing He gave me was Psalm 32, 8, which says, I will speak to you eye to eye,

34
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,680
or in the Hebrew, it could be face to face. So I knew that God would make it very clear

35
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,040
that at the end of the summer, the weekend, I had to make the final decision. I had eight different

36
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,000
contacts from God, or eight different ways that He contacted me. And I list those in our article.

37
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,400
And I found His love was permeating me. So I wrote down all those ways. I wrote down a number of

38
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,080
other ways, and I came up with 21 of them. So love speaks came out of my desire that people who are

39
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,360
going through any kind of a test, any kind of a trial, any kind of a fire, because we're all in

40
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,960
something right now, right? I mean, it's like the Lord is allowing us to, as an army, be tested and

41
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,560
be trained and, you know, be able to fight these battles which are happening now and the battles to

42
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,040
come. So that's where the desire for me was that I could help train the army just in a very small way

43
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,880
and how to hear His voice on a continual basis. And that's where it all came from. And then from

44
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,560
that, one day God gave me the calling as a media missionary. So whereas I had been doing missions

45
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:33,120
work, evangelistic work, living by faith, now He wanted me to live by faith, but take media as a

46
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:40,960
tool. So actually, prior to that moment during the cancer battle where God spoke that, I have been

47
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,280
creating love stories for couples for many, many years in wedding films. And so I was very, very

48
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:53,920
attuned to storytelling. I had a love for salvation history, a desire to bring out stories that are

49
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,920
unique in the past and the present and build our hope for the future. That's where Love Speaks,

50
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:06,640
the documentary series came from. And finally, after publishing the book and creating a number

51
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,320
of episodes of that series, then the Lord called me to create the Love Speaks Masterclass.

52
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,160
Tell me about this call to be a media missionary. Does that mean that you are no longer an

53
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,160
equipping evangelist like you were before? How did your life change?

54
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Great question. Well, everything changed up until that point of the battle. We had a strong income

55
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,760
from our wedding film company that just went away. We couldn't, I couldn't work. We couldn't

56
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,720
function as a company anymore. And my missions work, you know, was going to continue. But for

57
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,680
that battle, that five years that I walked in these treatments, and by the way, they were very

58
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:54,480
difficult. Some of them included a week long fever and I had to endure 69 weeks of fevers in the

59
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,680
battle. So you can imagine I couldn't travel. I couldn't do evangelistic equipping work during

60
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,520
that time. But everything changed when in that moment, the Lord called me as a media missionary.

61
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,520
He also said to me at the same time, you're going to keep exhorting my word. You're going to keep

62
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,200
preaching and teaching the Word of God around the world, you know, in different churches and so

63
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:21,760
forth. But now also, you're going to become this media missionary. And I saw in the spirit of really

64
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,840
nice film camera, just materialize. Now, I didn't know where to start with the calling. But I

65
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,200
started to get a little bit better from the treatments and they were working. And I was in

66
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:41,200
London and the Lord said, okay, take one chapter of your book. There are 21 chapters, 21 ways to

67
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:47,200
hear the voice of God, very common ways, common ways and uncommon. He said to me, take one chapter

68
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:53,200
and make a film per chapter. And I was thinking, I can do that. I'll make a five minute film. Sure,

69
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Lord, I'll make a five minute film and I'll put them on YouTube. And he said to me the next day,

70
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:04,160
no, no, I want you to make 21 episodes. So literally my whole life changed because I raised

71
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,160
support and went out there and started creating, producing, writing, filming. And to date, John,

72
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:18,080
I've just wrapped episode 21 of 21. And by the way, the first 14 have been seen on TBN, which is

73
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:24,800
the world's largest network for Christian. Also, they have appeared on Daystar Television, one of

74
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,720
the also the world's largest networks, also God TV. So it's been amazing to see how the episodes

75
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:38,880
have gone forth and been blessing and calling new soldiers to come forth in new ways to hear the

76
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:46,000
voice of God. And just now, as of this recording, I'm wrapping episode 21 of 21. So there's 21

77
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,600
different episodes, 21 different ways to hear God. You said very common, common and uncommon.

78
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,560
What are some of the ways that surprised you as you were putting this together? Excellent question.

79
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:06,400
I think that what surprised me the most was hearing God's speaking to me, his voice about

80
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,520
the Trinity, first of all, the Trinity is a mystery. So don't look to me to have all the answers. I'm

81
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,960
just a just one of many. But I learned from the Lord that the Father, the Son and the Spirit

82
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,120
all have sort of a unique way of communicating with each of us. Now, if you're watching this,

83
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,040
you've got certain ways of the 21 that already you're flowing in. Everybody's wired a little

84
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,560
bit differently. So some of us are wired with visual, some are wired to hear audibly, or, you

85
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:42,800
know, just externally. So different people can hear different ways. But what surprised me was,

86
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,120
first of all, learning how the Father speaks, which I like to say, he speaks externally and

87
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,800
indirectly. And there's a reason for that. The Holy Spirit from within speaks from within your

88
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,680
redeemed human spirit and flows out your mind and also through your spirit. And then Jesus speaks

89
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,640
primarily, I like to say, through his word and through other believers. So that was the biggest

90
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,600
thing that I learned was really looking at, okay, if that's true, then how does that work itself out

91
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,320
in very common, common and uncommon? Well, pretty much I've tucked away different ways that Jesus

92
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,520
speaks first. So he's like in the first seven, the established word and the living word. Then we have

93
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,000
the Holy Spirit speaking from within his inner witness, inner voice and desires of the heart.

94
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,520
Then we have the Father speaking through nature and creation and providence. So things like that

95
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:45,280
really challenged me. Also, I would say I learned a lot of looking at the use, God's use of metaphors

96
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:51,200
and symbolism. And so way number 12 is actually symbolic speech. When people reach that way in

97
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,360
the book, a chapter 12 or wherever they're looking and learning, they always are surprised. And

98
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,880
that one surprised me maybe the most. It's that there's metaphors like Jesus taught in metaphors

99
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,480
and parables. God has always spoken indirectly through parables and through object lessons.

100
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:14,720
So you come to find out that in your life, there are all of these ways that Lord is speaking to you,

101
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,000
but it's symbolic, especially in nature. I'll give you one example. This is a rock that I was asked

102
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,240
to pick up one day. I was walking by a lake and I was praying about one of the major operations

103
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:32,240
that I had to undergo for the cancer battle. It was a very difficult operation. And I said to the

104
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Lord, Father, will you be with me in the middle of this? I just feel so alone. And he said to me in

105
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,560
the inner voice of the spirit, Carl, pick up that rock. So I picked up this actual rock right here.

106
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,920
And I held it in my hand like this. And as I held it in my hand, I was reminded instantly of Psalm 18,

107
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,920
which is the living word of scripture for me in that moment. I will love you, O Lord, my strength.

108
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:07,200
The Lord is my rock. The Lord is my stronghold. And as I began to think about a rock, I symbolically

109
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:14,080
looked at it and looked at its features. So what is a rock? A rock is firm. It's solid.

110
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,040
It's long lasting. It's been here a lot longer than I've ever been here. And it'll be here a

111
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,200
lot longer after I'm gone. And it was like God was saying, I am your rock. I will be faithful.

112
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:32,400
I will be strong. I will be with you. I'm eternal. You see? So symbolism, symbolic speech, very,

113
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,480
very powerful way. And that's how I'd answer that question. So I know that God's also spoke to you

114
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:42,960
about a sword. So tell me about that example. I have one here. Great question. You know,

115
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,840
people often ask me what's one of the more powerful ways that you could just equip us in

116
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:54,560
hearing God's voice. And it's very simply this, that way number two of the 21 is called the living

117
00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:02,000
word. So this is your Bible. And your Bible is what I like to call the only infallible source

118
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,400
of hearing God's voice. All the other 20 ways can be fallible because we're humans, but the Bible

119
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,280
stands forever. So the word of God is infallible. But from that established word comes way number

120
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,960
two, the living word. It is very simply, let's just pick a time in your life where you were going

121
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:26,880
through the Bible and suddenly it was like the Holy Spirit breathed upon a verse and that particular

122
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,160
verse became applicable for your situation. That's the living word, plain and simple. Now

123
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,320
in Ephesians six, when Paul gives us the list of armor, he uses the word rama. Very interesting.

124
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:46,480
That's the word we use for the living word. So it's not that he could have used logos. We think

125
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,200
the sword is the logos. It's the written word. Well, it's the written word, but as the Holy

126
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:59,440
Spirit breathes upon it, it becomes life to us. So I like to say the sword, since it is the rama

127
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,080
or living, it must be spoken in agreement with the Holy Spirit. So our scriptural example for that is

128
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,840
when Jesus fought the enemy in the wilderness. If you remember, John, he used those three words

129
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,640
before he quoted a verse from Deuteronomy or the Psalms. Do you remember what those words were?

130
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:32,640
It is written. So when we have a living word and we speak it out, it becomes a weapon against the

131
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:38,880
enemy because the battle is here. The enemy hits us with thoughts that are not from God. So we have

132
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:46,240
to fight those thoughts by agreeing with the living word. And so a quick example of this in my cancer

133
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:53,520
testimony was that again, those summers ago I was battling through and I was in Psalm 27 one morning

134
00:13:54,080 --> 00:14:00,320
and I had read verses one and two, the Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord

135
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:06,000
is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? Well, our kids started fighting and my

136
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,360
wife went off to make sure that they stayed alive that day. And I went out to my prayer swing and I

137
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:19,040
sat there and I brought two things. I brought my Bible, which was open to Psalm 27, and I brought

138
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:26,480
a little book of Bible promises. So I'm sitting on the swing and I decided to ask the Lord a question

139
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:34,000
I had not asked him yet, but a very serious question. I said, Lord, am I going to live or am I going to die

140
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,880
from this disease? I'd like to know right now. Now, when you ask the Lord a question like that,

141
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,720
he will answer you 100% of the time. It's up to him which of the 21 ways he'll do that with.

142
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:54,400
Most often it's going to be in the form of the inner voice, which is beautifully a voice that

143
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,920
originates from your human spirit. That's the Holy Spirit flowing out your mind as a thought or

144
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:06,480
flood of thoughts. That's how I define it. It's chapter four, way four. And so I heard the Lord say,

145
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:14,560
the answer is on page 83 of your Bible promise book. So again, I had Psalm 27 open. Now I had

146
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,880
been meditating on verses one through 12 and I hadn't even read verses 13 and 14 of that

147
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,680
Psalm. It was just sitting there open, but I hadn't read it. So I turned to page 83 in my

148
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,560
Bible promise book and there it's two verses only. It's the end of a section of verses,

149
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:38,400
only two left. And believe it or not, John, they are verses 13 and 14 of Psalm 27.

150
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,600
So talk about the Lord just showing off his great love for me. And I read them and they say,

151
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,920
I would have despaired unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the

152
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,440
living. So here I am yet to this day being able to share this. And so whenever the enemy would

153
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:02,880
attack me in my mind, I would say to him, it is written. And then I would quote Psalm 27, 13.

154
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,640
And as I quoted it, it became a life and his barrage of thoughts that I wasn't going to make

155
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:14,000
it the next week, all of it would stop and I would speak it out and I would praise him and go forth

156
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,840
in victory. That's a little bit of how the living word works for you and I. Amen. Amen. I love that,

157
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,360
that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. That's a very personal verse

158
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:32,560
for me as well. So, but Carl, how would you encourage somebody to hear the voice of the

159
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Lord for themselves? If they've never heard the voice of the Lord or were aware that the Lord is

160
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,400
speaking to them, how would you encourage them to start that journey? That's another great question.

161
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Well, you're hitting me with some good ones here. So first of all, I think the key word is expectation.

162
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,160
I believe my article might even end with that application to it in Charisma. The idea is we

163
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,520
wake up every day and when I wake up in the morning, I set my heart to hear the voice of God. I actually

164
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:06,080
pray out a simple prayer and then at the end of that prayer, before I go into praying for others

165
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,840
or interceding, or sometimes even before I go just into worship, I will pray a prayer of

166
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:18,000
expectation where I set that forward. And we actually have a prayer of expectation in the book

167
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Love Speaks, which is available everywhere. And it's a beautiful way to kind of train yourself

168
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,240
in learning the 21 ways, because there are 21 of them and there are actually many more than that.

169
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,440
I've only written down 21 of them in the book, but the more ways you can learn about and train

170
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,880
yourself to understand, the more often you're going to be expecting and therefore the more often you

171
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:46,560
can hear. I like to sort of liken it unto the Bourne identity. If you've seen that film or those

172
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,480
series of films with Jason Bourne, in the first one, he is trying to determine his identity. Who

173
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,520
am I? He can't remember. He wakes up on a boat, doesn't know he's a super spy, a super agent and

174
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,920
all that. There's this one scene in that film where he's talking to his girlfriend and they're in a

175
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:11,120
truck stop and he says to her, I don't know who I am. He says, I can tell you the numbers of the

176
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,840
six license plates on the six vehicles out front. I can tell you the man behind the restaurant area

177
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,400
up there knows how to handle himself. I can tell you the best place to hide a gun is in the cab of

178
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:29,120
a truck and I can tell you how far I can run at altitudes of this altitude and this speed before

179
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:35,040
I have to catch my breath. How can I tell you all of that but not tell you who I am? And the idea

180
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:43,520
is he's automatically taken in all that information because he's been trained as a super agent to be

181
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:49,200
on the lookout, to expect, to notice things other people don't notice. That's the simplicity of

182
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:55,920
hearing God's voice. Love is speaking everywhere. At all times he's crying out, even the creation

183
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:02,080
cries out. The rocks themselves will cry out if we don't. So the idea is that the more often we're

184
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,760
training ourselves to learn the ways and we're expecting them, the more we'll hear. Also get into

185
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,240
times of worship and be in your Bible ready to meditate on that word and you'll be surprised

186
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:21,520
as you're sort of closing in on that intimacy with Jesus Christ. It's all about intimacy

187
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,960
with Jesus Christ. The more close you are to him, the more you hear his heartbeat like John used to

188
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,160
lie on his chest and hear his heartbeat. I think of that and I think of Lord I want to be that John.

189
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:38,480
I want to be the one that hears your heart. So I spend time in worship. I spend time listening.

190
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:45,200
But also I can say this John, it's an active listening because remember the Holy Spirit is

191
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:52,560
like a river within us. So he's never pictured as like this, you know, a spirit of inactivity.

192
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,560
A river is always moving. So because of that when we kind of enter into that understanding

193
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:06,240
that in any situation we can stop, look around and have a little dialogue. That's where on that

194
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:12,880
swing when I asked the Lord that question, I waited and he spoke. It's like how often do we ask the

195
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:19,360
Lord a yes or no question for example and then expect an answer. Can it be that simple? Yes,

196
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:26,160
he stands by. He is the great God of all the universe but he's a personal savior. And if

197
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,200
you've been born again, born from above, then you share that intimate relationship with the Holy

198
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Spirit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Amen, amen. God wants to speak to us. He is speaking

199
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:48,480
and we need to be expecting to hear from him. Carl, would you pray for our viewers, our listeners

200
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:55,040
right now that they would be attuned, that they would be expecting, that they would hear the voice

201
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:01,120
of God in their own lives? Amen. If you're out there just close your eyes. You can reach out

202
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:06,960
your hands toward the screen. I'm going to pray a prayer of impartation for each of you watching now.

203
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:14,560
So Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I release fresh favor, divine favor and expectation

204
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,320
and I release the active voice of the Father and the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the power of

205
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:27,120
the Holy Spirit for you. I activate within each of you the activity and action of the Holy Spirit

206
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:33,440
that you would sense the voice of God in all 21 or more ways for your own life, that this very week

207
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,120
you would bump into somebody, have a moment of providence and expectation and you'll realize

208
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:44,160
the Father's love was there. This very week you'll open your Bibles and you'll receive a living word.

209
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,440
I call forth those living words of scripture to come forth and this very week you'll have a moment

210
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,240
where you sense the Spirit is speaking from within. I speak in activation for each of you now

211
00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:01,680
in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen, amen. Carl Wesley

212
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,800
Anderson, thank you so much for writing this article and joining us here on Charisma Magazine.
