Saint Teresa of Avila - Interior Castle Fifth Mansions Chapter 04 - Ep 32

TOG returns to the spiritual, literary classic, Saint Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle. We dive back into the Mystical Fifth Mansions - Chapter 04. Where Teresa gives a deeper explanation on the Prayer of Quiet, she describes it as a step in the Sacrament of Spiritual Marriage, a Seventh Mansion experience in the interior life of deep prayer. In the Fifth Mansions, she explains that in this stage of spiritual development, the soul is in a state of per-betrothal to the indwelling Jesus Christ. So pull up a chair by the fire and tune in to the podcast as we examine the details of the mystical prayer of union through the words of our experienced guide, Saint Teresa of Avila!

Prayer of Recollection

Post Edit Correction - on the third waters. I gave the wrong representation.

In the Third Water the Lord Himself takes over the watering of the garden through irrigation. Whereas in the First Water the well could run dry and one would have to wait until it filled up again, in this Third Water the Lord provides an endless stream of water for irrigation. This is the Fifth Mansion in which the Lord enters the center of the soul. In the prayer of simple union the interior faculties of memory and imagination are penetrated with the divine light of the Holy Spirit. As the soul becomes transformed it undergoes a radical detachment from worldly concerns. The garden is becoming lush with blooms. There are different levels or intensifications of this mystical prayer of union. Once the soul has experienced this indwelling it retains a certainty of the experience.

TOG - A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - Chapter 07 - Hearing God and Prophetic Ep 31

 

Welcome to episode 31! In this podcast, we dive back into my book, A Field Guide to Advanced Spiritual Warfare - Chapter 07. Our topic is hearing God and prophetic ministry in spiritual warfare and supernatural ministry. An exciting subject matter for me, I reflect on my history of learning to hear God and developing my prophetic ministry. I have been to some crazy places and had interesting supernatural experiences that I glean from in presenting this topic. We'll discuss how you can learn to hear from God. ! will also discuss beginning prophetic ministry to advanced topics of ministry etiquette. And we answer some interesting questions along the way. Pull up your easy chair by the fire. Get yourself a beverage, kick back and enjoy some quality time with the Holy Spirit.

Show Notes

Already correcting myself, I fumbled the scripture of the lying spirits in the podcast as 2 Samuel. At time = 49:05 minutes.

Whoops.

1 Kings 22:19-22 (ESV)

 19 And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; 

20 and the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another. 

21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ 

22 And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’
