Developing Your Five Spiritual Senses: See, Hear, Smell, Taste & Feel the Invisible World Around You by Patricia King Pdf
Just as He gave us five natural senses, God also created us with five spiritual senses. In these lessons, Patricia King helps you cultivate your spiritual senses and mentors you in how to see, hear, feel, taste and smell more of the supernatural realm that is all around you. This course is not just about acquiring knowledge, it is meant to be a doorway to encounters that will answer the cry of your heart to know Him and His Kingdom more fully and intimately.
Contemplation is a spiritual process involving long, thoughtful, steady, serious, and attentive consideration or observation in order to achieve closer unity with God and to discover and understand God's will for the contemplative. Contemplation gives rise to activity, and activity, in turn, gives rise to more contemplation. The result of contemplation is often called discernment, seeing clearly what is at first not very clear or obvious, understanding what is not immediately obvious, resulting in accuracy of spiritual perception. Divine discernment is contemplation in action; it results in insight, inspiration, and an awareness of inner truth upon which one must act. While there are countless models of contemplation leading to action, the ninth-century BCE prophets Elijah and Elisha are the examples used in this book. Both are seers, messengers, and heralds of the LORD. They appear in activity when they are needed, and they disappear into solitude and silence when they are not.
The Chronicles of a Discerner by April Stutzman Pdf
So I am a discerner, now what? Maybe that was your question as you picked up this book. Perhaps you are more mature in discernment and surprised that someone has written about it, but you are reading it out of curiosity. Either way, the Holy Spirit is going to meet you where you are! Holy Spirit has something amazing in store for you, to help you navigate this gift. I feel His heart on it. Many discerners have had the gift since birth but have been unsure of what they carry. They have been misunderstood, isolated, and rejected. Here are some insights to this book: What Is Discerning of Spirits Help, What Do I Feel Discerning the Angels Discerning the Holy Spirit Discerning Human Spirits / Motives Discerning Demons Discerning the Glory If you are one seeking to be mentored in the things of the Spirit the good news is you hold in your hand the priceless personal insights of one who has gone before you. In this book April Stutzman reveals her very personal journey of discovery into the Discerning of Spirits. Not many people are prepared to share what you will read here for fear of being ridiculed, thought strange or a misfit. However, if you have ever picked up thoughts that were not your own, received unexplainable feelings on certain part of your body or sensed or seen angels then its likely you were operating in the discerning of spirits. April provides wisdom in how she learned to navigate these experiences. The sad truth is many misunderstand these glimpses into the world of spirits around them and consequently fail to reach the fullness of their spiritual potential. Discerning of spirits is a complementary gift and for that reason it is often overlooked. However, this gift of the Holy Spirit enhances and fine tunes all the other gifts including: deliverance, counsel, dream interpretation and the delivery of prophecy. This is a timely and an easy-to-read journey of her book. Adrian Beale and Adam F Thompson Authors of The Divinity Code to Understanding your Dreams and Visions It would be difficult to imagine a better moment in history for a book on the subject of discerning of spirits. With the current seemingly continual conflict between political ideologies, economic systems, gender identities and identity politics, sexual morays and the pervasive role of government in every area of life we must be able to see the world through God’s eyes and act decisively and confidently by His grace. Traditional mindsets will not show us how to live in these chaotic times. We must know God’s will and to be able to articulate it against every vain philosophy and worldly orientation to be overcomers. I heartily recommend April Stutzman’s book, The Chronicles of a Discerner, as a helpful guide through the confusing maze of modern demonic agendas that besiege today’s professing Christians at every turn. Joan Hunter Author/Healing Evangelist host Miracles Happen TV show As the need for discernment increases in this hour, many are becoming aware they carry this gifting of discerning of spirits. The Chronicles of A Discerner is a great book that introduces, breaks down, and gives articulation to this gift. This a great tool for any level, but especially those stepping into the gifting of discerning of spirits. Those growing in this gift will gain greater confidence and gain a greater assurance they’re not alone in this gifting. It’s normal! Madeline James, founder of Madeline James Ministries, and author of Unlocking Your Prophetic Voice Chronicles of a Discerner is a practical yet powerful guide that will help you gain an understanding of the gift of discernment in greater depths. April walks you through her own personal journey of this unique gift and shares how she grew "spiritual muscles" to carry the weight of what the Lord has shown her over the years of cultivating a beautiful and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. April also helps you to navigate what you may already be experiencing or will experience in your own life and calling. Not only will this book give you language, but it will also stir up a hunger to go after an intimate relationship with the Spirit of the Living God and to partner with Him in everything that you discern. Get ready to learn how to walk out this gift in the love of the Father! Teryn Yancey, Co-Founder of Glory Culture International I highly recommend April’s new book, The Chronicles of a Discerner. April is an extraordinary discerner and uses extravagant wisdom in discerning. The tips April shares in this book are a blessing to all who read it. Teaching any level discerner to stretch and grow. Pulling you to a higher level of discerning of spirits in the days we are living in.

Awaken Your Senses by J. Brent Bill,Beth A. Booram Pdf
Perhaps you've been missing out. God has given us five senses and a brain with two sides. Yet we often approach God in one way only: through words that are analyzed and processed logically in our left brain. The right brain, however, is the creative, intuitive center--the place that connects most to our seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and hearing, and that roots experiences in our hearts in transforming ways. In Awaken Your Senses, longtime ministers Beth Booram and Brent Bill invite you to engage your right brain in your faith through sensory spiritual practices that position your heart for divine encounter. Readings and a variety of exercises that utilize your whole body lead you to experience God in new ways by tasting chocolate, words, matzoh, Scripture, forgiveness seeing the moon, wisdom, art, glory, your best self touching others, stones, prayers, rubble, Jesus hearing silence, music, pain, footsteps, the Spirit, the news smelling gardenias, life, salty air, home, healing oil, coffee Teaching you to pay attention in love to your surroundings, Booram and Bill will help you open your eyes and ears and nose to a sensuous faith--one in which God can be experienced each day as we live and move and have our being. So whether you're weary, stuck, struggling, growing or on information-overload, the exercises and reflections offered here can bring refreshment--a cold drink of water, a gentle breeze--to your soul. Come experience God with all of who you are, and discover more of who he is.
"Oh Taste and See that the LORD is Good!" David's ancient declaration in Psalm34:8 can have profound implications for us today. His reference to two of our five natural senses opens the door to a study of unique proportions. Think of it? Not only these two senses, but all five our physical senses in the Bible have spiritual depth and understanding. They cry out to us to explore them and learn their meaning. An Un-Common Sense is just such a study! This book will probe the depths of our five physical senses... Tasting... Seeing... Hearing... Smelling... Touching... And then seek to understand how these God-giving physical dynamics translate into our spiritual lives. Added to these five will also be a much-needed look at what could be called our "sixth sense" - the Spirit sense. In many respects it is the most remarkable one of all! It is what makes the other five work in the spiritual realm. Join author, pastor, and educator, Joe LoMusio on a journey engaging what David challenges us to do! Taste and See... have Ears to hear... share the Aroma of Christ... and Touch the hem of His garment!
Visions of the Spiritual World by Sadhu Sundar Singh,H. B. Lahore Pdf
"In a distinctly Indian style, his wisdom challenges Western readers to taste the Gospel." -- Robert Ellsberg, author of All Saints "This little known book is an amazing gem. Its message is very consistent with The Book of Enoch, The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the New Testament. The visions experienced by Sadhu Sundar Singh are reminiscent of Christ's parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man as recorded in Luke.... In The Book of Enoch, Enoch is escorted by angels through the different levels of Heaven as he is educated on the mysteries of the spirit world. The Tibetan Book of the Dead discusses how the soul encounters wrathful dieties and peaceful dieties as it travels the bardos. Another interesting parallel can be found in The Dead Sea Scrolls because many of them discuss the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness. This is the exact same term used in Sadhu's book. I hope you find this book as inspiring as I did." -The Reluctant Messenger LIFE DEATH MAN CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED WHAT HAPPENS AT DEATH?

The Prayer of Silence by Phd Bruce Fraser MacDonald Pdf
“The Prayer of Silence” has several aims: 1. to teach basic relaxation and concentration methods based on bodily awareness; 2. to develop an awareness of the Divine Presence; 3. to overcome emotional and personality blocks to develop a sense of personal wholeness; 4. to develop an awareness of what the author, drawing on a near death experience in 1966, calls “the Watcher” aspect of consciousness that speeds the development of spiritual perception of inner “Love, Peace and Joy,” 5. to transform the ego from attachment to material and emotional limits to a spiritual Ego that is one with the “Atman” or “Spirit,” and to extend that spiritual awareness to the world and other people; 6. to be able to deal with the conflicts and potential arising from the memory of past lives; 7. to be able to find a “Spiritual Guide” in the inner person; 8. to be able to deal with the inevitable “dry periods” in spiritual practice; 9. to experience “Nirvana,” where all lower attachments are blown out; and 10. to achieve Divine Union, where the Ego and God are One, where “Atman experiences itself as one with Brahman,” where one can say with Jesus, “I and the Father are One.” There is also a very good chapter on “mantras,” so the student can learn about their nature and use, although the Prayer of Silence uses a different, more direct form of focus to achieve concentration and inner awareness. Dr. MacDonald has also remembered and worked with many of his own past lives, so he is a reliable guide to others who are going through that process. The author is a master teacher and the book presents its material in a steadily more complex form, laying the necessary foundations before proceeding to the higher levels of learning. There is a combination of theory and practical exercises so the learner can develop meditation skills gradually but with confidence, building from one stage to the next to achieve mastery of the subject. The writing is clear and concise and easy to understand. In order to explain the often difficult ideas associated with meditation and spiritual growth, Dr. MacDonald draws on the language, ideas and practice of Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist traditions to clarify ideas from different angles. He also draws on relevant scientific studies of human consciousness to help make the ideas and aims of this Prayer of Silence clear to the reader.
Spirituality and the Senses by Catherine McCann Pdf
We rarely focus on our senses and thus miss out on how they can enhance our lives at both micro and macro levels; what they can offer us in daily life, as well as during life’s special moments. It is up to each individual to become more consciously aware of and use each sense in more deliberate yet sensitive ways. Everyone can benefit by focussing daily on one or more of the senses even if only for a short period. Ideally it should become a daily practice. This book arose from an altered way of heightening people’s senses as they ‘experienced’ what Shekina Sculpture Garden has to offer: its views, stream, shrub beds, seating areas, and its unique collection of sculptures by modern Irish artists. The latter are made of many mediums: stone, wood, iron, glass, stainless steel etc. Heightening our use of each sense is enhanced by adverting to both our outer as well as equivalent inner sensing. For example seeing; seeing colours in all their shades, seeing form, then finally noticing one’s inner seeing. An example of the latter might be receiving an ‘insight’ about something. Gardens, in particular, are places to be tactile in, such as walking bare foot on grass, sensing the texture of a leaf with one’s fingers, hugging the bark of a tree, stepping into the coolness of running water etc. Inner sensing might be opened up by the phrase: ‘I felt very touched by…’ The book offers a short chapter on the anatomy of our senses, and closes on another perspective: the part inner sensing plays in relation to religious faith as well as noticing how tactile Jesus was in his healing ministry.
