I can tell when I am writing or speaking, or exhorting, from divine flow. It comes with ease, is simple, and when I review it, it is life-giving and doesn’t put me to sleep or put me (or others) down. If I am not in flow or fall out of flow, I stop what I am doing and re-connect to the flow of the Holy Spirit within, as it is Jesus’ rhemas that are spirit and life and the flesh profits nothing (Jn. 6:63). Jesus models a lifestyle of doing everything from flow and He has instructed me on three simple things I am to always be doing: modeling, reminding, and coaching. Let’s briefly examine each.

Model the reality that revelation encounters are available today by sharing our revelation experiences.

  • Mark, I shared what My Father was revealing. Thus, My words were filled with life and power. Revelation knowledge is different from man’s knowledge. People noted I taught with authority (Matt. 7:29) and I released power (Matt. 12:15).
  • 10 times Jesus speaks about living out of divine initiative. It is good to repeat key truths!

Remind listeners that revelation is a heart experience.

  • The Bible instructs us to walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:25). This involves living from the flow of the Spirit within us. Here are 10 pictures showing that we are to live from flow: river of the Holy Spirit flows, sap flowing from vine to branch, drink from the Fountain of Living Waters, wind that blows, prophecy (naba - bubbling), Intercession (yadah - chance encounter), and Ezekiel wades out into a River that gets higher and higher, engulfing him.
  • The Bible was written by men moved by the Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21). 10 Bible writers who used the 4 keys of: stillness, vision, flow, journaling, and wrote over half the Bible. Therefore, the 4 keys are a CENTRAL biblical theme, so we remind people to use them, as very often these are not taught or practiced. Never take for granted that people know and will be using these four keys. REMIND THEM what they are and to use them, so that they experience anointed reasoning (Isa. 1:18), divine creativity, and supernatural energizing.

Coach listeners into experiencing and sharing revelation

  • Be a good coach by providing revelation-based questions that they can ask God. This draws believers into their own living encounters with God, where they have their own Emmaus Road experiences (Lk. 24:13-35). Were not our hearts burning within as God was opening up the Scriptures (Lk. 24:32)?
  • Jesus asked many questions.

Journaling application

·  Hearing God's voice is as simple as quieting myself, fixing my eyes on Jesus, tuning to flow, and writing. See this link.

·  Question: Lord, what would You speak to me concerning drawing my audience into a living encounter with You?
