Rodney Howard Browne suggests this for those in pain. One of the most important reasons we infrequently have a weak religion is our faulty view of God. Of course, he is so enormous, how could we ever actually get a correct portrait of what he appears to be, how He acts, and how He feels about us personally? Let’s think about what Jesus expounded.

He let us know that if we would like to know what God the Father is like, we must look toward the Son. The Savior expounded, “He who saw Me saw the Father” (John 14:9). Rodney Howard Browne explains that we will be able to know the Father because we are able to know Jesus. And when we have a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good picture of God’s love.

Consider the girl at the well in today’s Scripture passage. This was a lady who had been outcast by society. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne points out that the incontrovertible fact that she came to the well at that particular time of day – a time when no-one else was around – shows that her exclusion from the townspeople wasn’t just their idea ; she herself felt the necessity to stay isolated. But what did Jesus do? He loved her. He accepted her. He gave her what no-one else would give: respect and attention. That’s what He does for us as well. God doesn’t want us weighed down by guilt, shame, and heart-ache.

Nor does He would like us to be isolated from people. Instead, He calls us to be an active partaker in His dominion. Have you cut yourself off from those around you? Take hold of your Savior’s hand today, and experience the enjoyment of His acceptance.

Rodney Howard Browne asks us, if you had some hours to live, and if you weren’t a follower in Jesus Christ, where would you look to find comfort or hope? Each day, many of us face death, but unfortunately, lots of them don’t know Jesus as Lord. However, some people, in a last act of religious acuity, accept Christ on their deathbed.

You can disagree, but they cannot truly be Christians then, can they? Rodney Howard Browne explains that they sinned their complete lives and accepted Jesus just because they were frightened of dying. They do not get the same reward that I am going to get, do they? Well, think about the repentant burglar on the cross next to Jesus. Scripture is clear this was a vicious, violent, guilty criminal. There is not even a pointer that he was wrongfully charged.

He was attempted, convicted, and handed death by the most evil means possible. Certainly, he wasn’t an individual we’d consider a good guy. But as he hung on his cross, something stirred inside him. The Spirit started to work in his heart, and in the moments before his demise, he was for the first time made alive in his spirit. He accepted Jesus, and Jesus accepted him.

You see, Rodney Howard Browne says, the great deliverance that is ours in Christ is one hundred percent reliant on what Jesus did for us. This implies that there’s nothing you or I could ever do to warrant it. When we realize that His love is open to all folk, even to those we despise the most, we will really give Him all of the glory for the great things he’s done.

Rodney Howard Browne explains that the arsenal God has given makes it possible for us to stand up to the attacks of Devil and to break any strongholds he has established in our minds. One of the strongest weapons is prayer. It needn’t be eloquent ; it could be a simple, truthful prayer like this : “God, here’s a weakness in my life which has a stranglehold over me. I have permitted Devil to toy with my mind. He has me in bondage and, God, I am helpless to change it. I am crying out to You in earnest repentance.

I regret the agony and hurt that I have caused others. I lament the hours I have wasted living alongside this. I surrender myself to You. Set me free from this stronghold, Lord. By the power of Your Spirit, please set me free.” God will not refuse this sort of prayer ; he is going to provide deliverance. It is thru our sincere prayers that we draw on the power of God to fight the Demon’s lies and to decline to enticements. However, Rodney Howard Browne explains that the incontrovertible fact that we pray does not mean that Satan will let up on us. No, he’s going to keep firing his flaming arrows against our weaknesses.

We extinguish every one the same way. In prayer, Rodney Howard Browne teaches that we cry out to our sovereign God for forgiveness and draw on His power, which enables us to stand firm on the truth of Scripture. For many of us, deliverance is immediate ; for others, it is gentle. Either way, we will achieve liberty. If we hold to the truth, Jesus guaranteed we might be free.

Rodney Howard Browne warns against jealousy. Have you been envious of some other person’s success? Perhaps your neighbor brought home a mint vehicle this week, or maybe somebody at work just got the promotion you desired. When situations like these stir up inexplicable reactions inside us, we just could have an issue.

Envy is the emotion of displeasure on seeing somebody else’s good fortune. Let’s think about that definition for an instant.

First, it is an emotion. Are your feelings always the clearest indicator of truth? Most frequently, the answer’s no. In truth, Scripture asserts that our hearts are “deceitful” (Jeremiah 17:9). That suggests we can’t always trust them. We must instead concentrate on what we know to be true: God’s Word.

Rodney Howard Browne explains that it is distinguished by displeasure. Let me ask you a question: what pleases you? Does your joy rely on possessions and accolades, or do you draw your pleasure from the Lord? If your pleasure is present in “things,” then you may expect a tussle with jealousy at any moment.

Rodney Howard Browne explains that in our proud spirit, we believe that we have entitlement to somebody else’s blessings. In a way, we are saying, “God, You gave this thing to that person, but you need to have given it to me. You were wrong.” We may not say it so really, but our actions could be talking louder than our words. Envy works like a poison to interrupt healthy relationships. When you’re feeling the beginnings of an envious angle, ask God to refocus your attention from “things” back onto Him.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches the Foundation Scriptures: Romans 8:14

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8:14 AMP

I.  The sons of God are led by His Spirit.

· As a child of God, one of the greatest and most important things that you and I can learn and master is the ability to hear God’s voice and to be led by the Spirit.

· Romans 8:16

· NKJV – The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

· AMP – The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.

· Proverbs 20:27 KJV – The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

· God will enlighten us; He will guide us; through our spirits.

II. Rodney Howard Browne explains that we need to become Spirit-conscious.

· 1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV – And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

· I am a Spirit being—I have a soul—I live in a body.

· Your Spirit is instantly made a New Creation when you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

· Your soul is a work in progress.

· The difference between Spirit and soul:

· Hebrews 4:12 AMP – For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

· 1 Corinthians 14:14 NKJV – For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

· James 1:18-21 NKJV – Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

· You cannot receive the Word of God or the things of the Spirit of God while you are filled with the spirit of the world and yielding yourself to sin and uncleanness.

· Present your body to the Lord:

· Romans 12:1 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

· 1 Corinthians 9:27 NKJV - But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

III.  Rodney Howard Browne shows the Number One way God leads us is through the Inward Witness.

· God does not lead you through your head – your thoughts – He leads you only through your spirit man!

· He leads you through an inward intuition.

· When God leads you in a direction, you might feel: a desire in your spirit toward that thing; a peace; a green light; or a go-ahead.

· When you are heading in the wrong direction God will restrain you, you might feel: a check; a red light; or be grieved in your spirit.

· 1 John 5:10 NKJV – He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

· Romans 8:16 AMP – The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.

· 1 John 3:24 NKJV – Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

· 1 John 3:14 NKJV – We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

· Ezekiel 36:26-27 NKJV – I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

· Never put out a fleece.

· Judges 6:36-40 NKJV – So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said — 37 look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.” 38 And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. 39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew.” 40 And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground.

· The enemy can influence circumstances.

IV.  Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to follow the Inward Witness.

· Psalms 18:28 NKJV – For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

· Isaiah 28:16 KJV – Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

· You can train your spirit and you can trust the inward witness of the Spirit to lead and guide you.
