This episode is wonderful! You guys should check out Stephanie Ike, she's incredible and the Holy Spirit moves in her well to where she truly listens to God's direction to uniquely help others each day. Truly, Jesus wants us to help and heal others through faith, obedience, and action in this broken world to advance God's kingdom through the Holy Spirit. Stephanie is on two neat episodes of Girls Gone Bible. She also has a book coming out The Power of Your Dreams: A Guide to Hearing and Understanding How God Speaks While You Sleep. Apparently, the average person sleeps approximately 26 years throughout their life. Also, just ordered The Love Everybody Wants by your lovely Madison. So excited to read it! Thank you for being awesome, praying for you all, and hope you'll have a blessed week! Love your podcast. - Hi, from Kansas City!

please podcast on dreams!! I have so many questions!!

[@ChosenByBlood]

Two things I want to tell you and I hope that Pastor Pokluda reads this :) A couple of years ago I had a dream that I was being chased by looked like my brother and he had a machete and I was running for my life in a airport and I saw what looked like a sewer entrance and I got in and I winded up in Little Italy in the Bronx where I studied in High School. As I was walking I began to see the surrounding building to collapse so I started to run again and the buildings began to collapse faster and as I was running I saw this child on the street so I ran to him and put him on my arms and ran with him and I walk up and I asked God, Whose is this child that I saved? As I said that awake I felt like someone came to my ears and whispered, The child is you and I said but Lord it was I saving him and again I heard that whisper in my era and said no, That child is you and it is I that am carrying you. I was going through some hard struggles at the time with my mom dying from cancer and I was being persecuted in my church because of my old fashion beliefs and I was a youth leader at the time. I have a lot of spiritual experiences so I already knew it was God speaking to me because I have heard his voice many times and have seen only the blinding light of his presence. A couple of weeks ago I was watching Pastor Pokluda interview at GGB and I admit I didn't finish watching it because I got really tired and sleepy so I went to rest and I had a dream and in the dream I saw Pastor Pokluda in what seemed like some type of mansion with pillars on the side of the house and it seemed like night time and I saw Angela and Arielle and than I heard a voice that said, Get Him! and I woke up. My first instinct was wow, the pastor is going to receive an attack from the devil so I said Lord protect him even though I don't know him but if you showed me this than protect him. In 1992 I suffered a heat stroke and I got to see only the tunnel of hell and the clouds of heaven so no Jesus or angels but that's another testimony but the reason why I bring this up is because after a month of being discharged I began to see things that have not happened but happened as I saw it. I asked that I didn't want to see those things again or have dreams and so it stopped but than I had this dream with Jonathan and it freaked me out so since I don't know the Pastor I couldn't tell him what I saw and heard and I admit I brushed it to the side as just a dream because I just saw him at GGB so when I hear about the chest pain I got touched and as I write I am sentimental because I should have said something but I shut the warning down as just a bad dream and not me having those warning dreams again. Please accept my apologies for being a coward in not reaching out soon.

Hi everyone, may the Lord bless you all from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! Thanks for sharing this episode!

[@kimberlywatt5828]

Havilah Cunnington's book Called to Hear God is a good place to start on hearing God.

[@TylerSmithImpact]

Another fire episode

[@slowpoke1962]

Wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of written codex validated by scholars that recorded God's history, will and intentions so we would not have to guess the will of God?

[@elainachason4080]

Great listen!! :) Will you do a follow up episode with Jamie winship?? Would love to extend this convo!

[@maxsanta946]

My biggest question is if you think God speaks outside of the bible does that not mean you think that scripture is not sufficent? It's not about how God can speak but how he is chosen to

[@maxsanta946]

If God said that scripture is sufficent and then chose to speak to you outside of that, that means that God is a liar

[@chloecompton2245]

Hey Max, that is a great question. It's much deeper than that and so wonderful. The Bible is the word, and Jesus is the word, and Jesus (the word/bible/truth) is in the Holy Spirit (a great example would be John 1:1-3). God longs for a deep relationship with us (especially you, because he profoundly loves you beyond measure). God is helping us by graciously providing the physical word, the Bible (allowing us to spend time with Him and Jesus, to know Him through Christ. "Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him" John 14:6), and a divine helper, the Holy Spirit to dwell in us to take divine action through faith as He communicates with us. Thus producing wisdom and divine action and interaction. As long as we obey and trust, we can hear Him better. Truly, I believe you are referring to "There's nothing more profitable in the world than God's Word. It's profitable for teaching us. Just think of all the ways the Bible teaches us who God is. The Bible teaches us the nature and character and attributes of God." 2 Tim. 3:16-17, written by Apostle Paul. Throughout the entire Bible, God chooses to speak to people through dreams, signs, and other miraculous situations. The Bible contains all the words of God we need for salvation, for trusting him perfectly, and for obeying. It's beautiful, a needed daily source (as well as the Holy Spirit, which has the source of truth, and that truth is in the bible.). Hope this helps, Max! And hope your week is going well. God is a triune God: Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah 40:28

[@pisketti]

Not necessarily. You basically need to put what you’re wondering about being God’s voice up against God’s Word. He’s not gonna go against his word. It’s the people who don’t do it that end up talking about having stuff like new revelations or they do sinful things

[@ediciusxp]

‭Job 33:14-20 [14] For God does speak-now one way, now another- though no one perceives it. [15] In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, [16] he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, [17] to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride, [18] to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword. [19] “Or someone may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in their bones, [20] so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal. And ‭1 John 4:1-3 [1] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, [3] but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
