Discerning God's Revelation in an Emotional World
God is an emotive God.
The Holy Spirit is not moody, but He can be grieved or joyful, give warnings, and share the feelings of the Father’s Heart.
Your five natural senses have corresponding spiritual senses. And the gifts of the Spirit often operate through your five senses, especially your feelings.
Your natural sense of "touch" has a corresponding spiritual sense of "feelings." As you surrender your feelings to the Lord, He'll use them as a means through which He deposits His revelation, anointing and spiritual Gifts.
God is love, joy, peace and all the other fruits of the Spirit. Through these fruits, the Holy Spirit exhibits the very emotions of God to your heart and soul and even your physical body.
With practice and discernment, you can learn to recognize, filter and understand the often-subtle ways the Holy Spirit speaks directly to your heart, emotions and intuition, bringing divine revelation through your sanctified feelings.
For example, you may…
- discern angelic and demonic spirits by sensing and feeling their presence
-
receive words of knowledge and experience gifts of healings through sensations
-
detect a spirit of witchcraft by feeling a pain behind your eyes
In this class, you will learn to:
- identify the emotions of God
-
recognize how the Holy Spirit communicates gifts and revelation
-
respond appropriately to your feelings
-
embrace your sensitive nature
-
detect the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit through feelings
-
cooperate with and flow in the power of God
-
live a naturally supernatural life
Class Overview
Overview of the Exploring the Feeler Realm 12-session class:
Lesson 1: Experiencing the Emotions of God
Our God is an emotive God. With proper checks and balances, you can learn to sense and walk in God's emotions and divine revelation. The Holy Spirit is not moody, but He can be grieved, joyful, give warnings and share the Father’s Heart with us. This first lesson will help you to welcome the very emotions of God into your life.
Lesson 2: Your Natural and Spiritual Senses
You have spiritual senses that mirror your natural ones. As you learn how to sanctify and surrender your feelings to God, He can use them for His purposes. We will pray for cleansing, healing and empowerment help to prepare the way for you to walk in the fullness of your spiritual senses.
Lesson 3: Jesus and the Heart of Compassion
Jesus showed us what it looks like to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. What comprises the soul? What makes up the heart? Compassion is an eruption of God’s feelings expressed through a believer. We can learn many lessons from His model of flowing with compassion and virtue that comes from the heart.
Lesson 4: Sensitivity
Many people of prayer, the supernatural, and the prophetic are highly sensitive. The more you embrace your sensitive nature, the more in touch with your feelings and emotions you are likely to be. We must learn our sensitive make up is a blessing and not a curse. It is important to learn to rightly interpret and discern the supernatural language of feelings and emotions.
Lesson 5: How to Respond to Feelings
Once we are in touch with our feelings it is vital that we learn how to respond properly to them. What are the rules of the road? For example, how do I handle the sadness that I am feeling? Is it mine? Is it another person’s? Is it atmospheric or coming from a territorial spirit? This lesson will help you identify the source of your feelings and respond appropriately.
Lesson 6: The Fruits of the Spirit
We know the gifts of the Spirit are supernatural, but did you realize the fruits of the Spirit are supernatural as well? You can learn how to cultivate joy when you need it. You can identify what love really looks like expressed through your life. This lesson will help you strengthen your wineskin of the fruits of the Spirit in order to carry the new wine of the gifts of the Spirit.
Lesson 7: The Gifts of the Spirit
Did you know that the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate through your feelings? Often words of knowledge are interpreted, and gifts of healings are discerned through sensations, physical pains and other manifestations. The gift of discerning of spirits detecting witchcraft might manifest as pain behind your eyes. The keys in this lesson will help you grow in understanding and flowing in the anointing.
Lesson 8: The Power of Conviction
One of the primary jobs of the Holy Spirit is bringing conviction to the nonbeliever and believer alike. We need the convincing work of the Holy Spirit to bring us into progressive sanctification and transformation. Once you realize the power of conviction, you will not despise it, but you will pray for it!
Lesson 9: Burden Bearing
Sometimes the Holy Spirit deposits His heart into you regarding a situation for which you are to pray. This touches the seat of your emotions and you become a "midwife" for the purposes of God in intercession. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to bear the burdens of the Spirit in prayer.
Lesson 10: Discerning Atmospheres
Not only can you feel and discern angelic and demonic entities through the gift of discerning of spirits, you can often sense shifts and changes in the spiritual atmosphere. This lesson will help you decipher atmospheres and how to respond in the Spirit.
Lesson 11: Wisdom Issues for “Feelers”
This final lesson could “save” your life! Don’t be hyper-spiritual but be naturally supernatural as you yield your heart to God. As you glean from the lessons of others, you will become mature and avoid common mistakes that can come through misinterpreting your feelings! God desires you to live a full life of joy and be supernatural and sensitive—all at the same time.
Lesson 12: Flowing in the Power of God
As you encounter and cooperate with the manifested Presence of God, you may experience His fire and power to set others free. You may sense a surge of faith, experience the heat of healing in your hands, or disgust with a demonic spirit. This lesson will help you flow in the power of God to set the captives free.
