In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast TruthSeekah is joined by Martin Smith of Flying Penguins as they speak about Conscious Encounters With Christ and Facilitating Experiences
Just as there are different Realms and dimensions in the spirit there are corresponding mind states of consciousness that one is able to walk in in the natural. These different levels of consciousness are obtained through gnosis by knowing God through experience. Our experiences open up a whole new realm of possibilities when it comes to the different levels and aspects of the godhead. There are many different points of views and angles when it comes to God’s love and I bid you to search out all of them. Another way that we are able to access these deeper states of consciousness is by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God; so as we pursue God deeper through his written word we are building our faith in not only what he has done but what he is able to do. I don’t think that one State of Consciousness is higher than the next. One State of Consciousness may be a season of Walking In Miracles, another signs and wonders and another the law of manifestation. It is only when we’ve experienced each of the seasons that we can bring all of the essences together and be well-balanced as we grow into mature sons and daughters in Christ. Each of the states of consciousness are capped with mindfulness. Setting your attention and affections upon the Lord enables you to search out his goodness. This is done by continually gazing upon him through the means before mentioned as well as through Intimacy in prayer, worship, fasting and other spiritual practices. There were realms that I was walking in after an encounter with the Lord where I literally vibrated and trembled for the next three days. Any time that I would be reminded of the goodness of God I would just begin to weep and feel his presence all over my body. This was a beautiful encounter that I had and it lifted me to a realm of conscious understanding where all was gratitude. Now that was years ago and although may day to day experiences may not be as intense; now that I have walked in that level of understanding in the spirit I am now seated there in Christ. That level of gratitude and connectivity is not something that I’ve experienced; its something that I am, and we are. I am not less spiritual because I’m not trembling in quaking 24/7 as in times past but again every season and realm of consciousness is important because they are our portion of faith that is given and is maintained throughout our journey. Again, this is accessed by knowing who we are in Christ by faith, believing God at his word and encountering the depths of his love. The scripture says that love is what fuels your faith and if it is not of love it is not a faith, the scriptures says that whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Martin Smith from the flying penguins podcast radio show whatever you want to call it we're gonna explore that a little bit more Martin welcome to the podcast bro how are you thanks man I'm doing well Derek a fellow next stager that's right what we've been doing we've deemed ourselves the next ages not the new agers not the old Agers ex pager so I was really interesting to explore those concepts with with you and Gil and Berlin Karen Michael Vassar I'm all of our fam there who's part of that so man I guess for people who don't know who you are man let's just kind of give a groundwork for what you're doing what you bring to the table sure sure so yeah I guess you know for me kind of a quick story I've been I've been a believer my whole life from five years old and you know kind of grew up in the church did the normal Church thing and I you know I never really had one of those fall away stories come back necessarily but you know lots of good friends that have but for me I always I started encountering through dreams and things when I was probably 10 years old and so you know I would have dreams about spiritual warfare had had a dream repeating dream that was just like the matrix actually when I was when I was roughly 10 and Matt I always loved that dream because it was just a spiritual warfare dream as a ten-year-old and and like I said my church didn't didn't teach on spiritual warfare nothing and then you know kinda as I got a little older into my teens I started reading into the world a little bit more and and started to understand my authority in Christ and now I I'm call that more of my identity in Christ but I thought I was pretty pretty tough in the spirit and so I decided I was gonna you know till the till the enemy what I thought of him and pretty much just mock ting so that was you know about the third night of doing that and I guess in the midst of that I was also reading Frank Petty's books I don't know if you've ever read any his stuff but I know it's haven't read any but yeah yeah I mean for me it was dude that was like exactly what I saw because I had CD Angel see the demons and all those things and so reading those and and had about the third night of just tell him saying pretty much hey you suck he can't touch me you know all that good stuff I had this dream and in the dream I was in in this church and actually in my home church and it was I was listening to an occult seminar you know and sometimes churches and you know in the eighties or so would do seminars on the occult 80s and Harry Potter yeah all that good stuff and so in the in the dream I'm sitting kind towards the back and this dude gets up and he's like alright I'm gonna introduce you to one of the biggest demons and witchcraft in this dream and all of a sudden like everything goes into slow motion I'm like looking around behind me because I see that I hear this sounds like a jet engine it's so loud and it's this roar and I look back and this is a massive massive Church and this thing is like stretched out with its arms way way out and you know I'm like on Scooby Doo you know the the ghost that would come that are shrouded and they've got the ripped kind of cloak that's exactly what this thing looked like man but it goes huh like a phantom yeah like a like a phantom and it was it was probably 40 feet wide I mean it was just massive and so it scares me so bad in the dream that I wake up except the problem was you know I was on my on my bed on my back and I was pinned down because this thing was still coming over in the natural now it crossed from my dream into the natural and it was pushing me so far into the mattress that I could like see the indentions that I was maybe six inches into the mattress and I was absolutely terrified I couldn't move I couldn't speak and finally in my mind I was able to start saying you know in the name of Jesus I cast you out I command you to leave and I finally was a able to speak after a couple of times of that and the moment I say I was like bang man this thing was gone and yeah I didn't sleep the rest of that night really but you know the Lord taught me a very valuable lesson I felt like number one just how powerful the enemy is compared to my own flesh and then number two just how much more powerful he was that may I was like God just calling on just the name of Christ just could bang that that much power was just instantly vaporized and man it just it caused me to just wonder man it's like how much more does just Christ himself actually have if his name just carries that man so it was it just for me it just created just this on this wonder you know as a teenager and and I and I heard the Lord speak to me all the time but you know I didn't I didn't run in those circles and so it was very isolating you know as a younger person because you can't you know you can't really talk to people about that they think you're nuts you know you just super spiritual yeah yeah overactive imagination and all this kind of stuff I was definitely very similar to that and coming in they had this crazy out there testimony and all we wanted to do is worship the Lord and get in the presence and talk about demons and you know but we facilitated awakening man we facilitated revival because it was contagious right oh yeah didn't you talk about even though there's opposition all you you guys don't need to do that how about just go see the movie how about take the used to go see a movie like no we want to take the news and pray and yeah in the spirit and let them encounter Christ and just take them to go see a movie and we're like all this opposition but we we we seen a lot of breakthrough and revival when when we would make sure that we would push through like persecution yeah gives away for the presence you know and and whenever you whenever there is opposition when you do when you go against the grain and you just speak your truth and and and seek the Lord you start seeing things happen it's never gonna be like the easy right whoo anything worth doing is worth fate facing opposition to to get the message out or move on what you really believe you know yeah absolutely man absolutely yeah I've feel like I've the last two years for me it's been that opposition just sure I've never really had to be quite honest I feel like you know most of my life I've kind of been protected from a lot of that I think and you know I just kind of did my thing and and always always was encountering always if I've been pushing the envelope really and as I've grown more and more it's like man we get further into it but yeah the last couple of years have been it's been with me the whole time so none of this is new it may be deeper and different and now I'm talking about different stuff so like it's it's definitely different now but man cuz you're consistent you know and you you're not just a kid with an overactive imagination like there's something to it like I want to ask you about that like that stuff doesn't happen for a reason obviously the Lord had stuff he wanted to show you whether it was how real the spirit world is or teach you prayer and intercession like you know those those spirits in in your dreams and open your the eyes and ears of your understanding and show you things in the night that we're not privy to during the day or in our waking state when we get into what we call the trance state or the dream state we're able to interact with these entities and actually see them and stuff like that so God opens our ears and and tells us things in the middle of the night so actually into intercession or maybe try to pray for this area we need to break these strongholds over this area did any of that ever happened oh yeah oh yeah I mean it was you know especially once we got into college so you know high school college for me you know I'd go into the occult stores and witchcraft stores because I thought it was fun you know I was I was that nutty guy and man I remember you'd walk in I wouldn't even say anything and they'd it's like we'd lock eyes and it's like I knew who that they were they knew who I was and they'd follow me around the store and you know and I and I just you know I was I was invincible you know teenager and all that so I just run run right in there it's so funny Duke is like if you got the Christians like most of what they won't even go in like right cursed I'm not going in I'm not gonna look at the building and you're like going straight in there yeah so and I guess it you know I got into into college and I met some guys that had some similar experiences that I did and one of them was a South African missionaries kid so he saw all kinds of stuff and then you know the other one was just a good buddy that was from a small town in Oklahoma so I I grew up in Oklahoma City went to the University of Oklahoma and you know we were in a fraternity house believe it or not as believers didn't drink you know but we were we were the crazy ones in the fraternity house and our fraternity brothers that would they wouldn't go with us we'd go out on an adventure you know spiritual adventures on the weekends and they wouldn't go with us drunk because the ones that did it scared him so bad and what they experienced they didn't they didn't want any part of it you know so it was it was funny man we lived in we lived all in the midst of it in the fraternity house and and had a blast I mean it was it was so much fun but you know everybody knew that we were believers and they kind of knew sort of what we did but you know we were always just the crazy ones I think you know in college we'd oh we you know we had some pretty interesting things happening with you know we'd get you know have stuff on our lawn that you know somebody tried to sacrifice whatever and all kinds of different things and and you know we'd go after it and kind of pay attention to it and I guess my mindset at that point was man I'm I'm a warrior you know and I'm gonna just crush everything and and I think it's interesting hell for me my view has changed even though the last couple of years with some of that I think kind of something interesting just a note is that you know we got to our senior year in college and you know we played in a band and kind of actually a funny story is we we used to co-lead worship for one of the Bible studies with Mercy Me before they were anything and saw the movie yeah yeah that was that was they you know they didn't they didn't ask me for a cameo unfortunately but but our our drummer in our bands our band was called Washington's field and and our drummer was was this guy named Robbie Shafer and we you know got to know the MercyMe guys code leading this Bible study and just they're just solid solid guys man I just I can't say enough about him and then our senior year we just said hey you know we several of us were wanting to get married and and go on to grad school and so we broke the band up and Robbie ended up you know six months or so later jumping on with Mercy Me and so he's there he's been the drummer you know since they've really hit it big so it's it's fun I chuck with him every now and then but you know we're not like tight but they're yeah it's solid guys but the interesting thing is man it was we literally went I mean we were having encounters stuff happening every day we had a kind of a house church with students of about 50 students that were coming weekly and then literally overnight for all of us everything stopped like all the the gifts all the encounters just like it's gone and no one could figure it out you know of course we went through the repentance and the you know I must have sinned I must have screwed something up and just you know searching our hearts and all that stuff and and there was nothing man and it kind of allowed it I mean we all kind of scattered to be quite honest and I had about 10 years I would say where it was dry as a desert man it was where before it all no no I mean well I would say after you know I got married and you know so life was changing in different things and and my wife's awesome I mean she's she's spirit filled woman and and really really cool but it was it was interesting man it was like suddenly nothing was there and I discovered that you know doesn't take that much faith to be quite honest when you're seeing signs and wonders and and everything happening and my faith was really tested when I wasn't seeing that stuff and you know what over the years what the Lord was showing me was it's like hey I need your roots to grow deeper to support a bigger plume you know on on and if you think of a tree you know is the tree of life and things but so for me it was really digging deeper into that you know I've always been have always been an end times guy as well and so I've always studied in times and probably towards the end of that 10-year period I got on this chat board within time stuff and you know I and I'd always had dreams since I was 10 years old of in times like literally when I was 10 I thought I was maybe one of the the two witnesses you know me and yeah a billion other people that have hey I just watched I just watched uh well we finished Waco yesterday oh and you know he was big on the seven seals and yeah we are the last Church and yeah and so yeah I mean I was you know all in that and and and so I met this in this chatroom I met this dude that was extremely prophetic and he was different than anybody I've ever really met and you know he and I started having correspondence and you know he kept basically he was alluding to that he was the end-times prophet Elijah and but he'd never come right out and say it and on the message board everybody's like you know it's so close slice is probably alive and so we can pray for Elijah you know I look back over like oh no dude hey I'm with you bro we did all that to for don't worry so I ended up you know I interestingly enough so as were you know he and I are just corresponding and I'm starting to have things come back now you know as far as the supernatural and those things and so there was one morning I just felt like dude I needed to really pray for this guy I mean like he was burdened on my heart and so I'm on my face praying like I normally would do it at that point in time and as I'm praying it I feel like literally like my spirit starts to slide out like I'm facedown all my knees and it's like it almost starts to ooze out of my my whole body and and I pull it back in I'm kind of freaked out because I didn't I didn't know what it was I didn't know what was really happening nothing like that had ever happened and so I was like okay that was kind of weird night and got back on my face and I'm praying again all sudden it starts to slide out again that's the only way I can really describe it and so I'm like alright I'm gonna push into this and see where it goes cuz that's what I like to do you know and so I let it go and I went I went like completely out straight through the floor and into this space that I had never been in and you know in the x-men movies when they're operating cerebro and you know he's got that when he's looking through cerebro professor axe and you know you see the illuminated bodies like almost in that fog eek and a space that's where I was I was like kind of floating kind of swimming a little bit in this space and I could see all these people that were lit up like their veins with light and so I kind of you know navigated through this space and I ended up finding this guy in that in that space and he's praying on the ground and and I'm seeing these demons just come in and they're just hammering I mean he's just getting attacked and so I just kind of flew over there and stood over him and put up just like a shield and just to protect him and so I I prayed over him like that and then kind of felt like things were done and and then I came back I guess into my body you know and I now realize I now know what that is you know kind of out-of-body or or even some may say kind of you know astral or you know traveling in the spirit I didn't know what it was at the time and so the next day I was like alright if I could do that for this guy I want to go do that for my family and so the next day I did it purposefully and went and found my wife and my two kids at the time and you know did the same thing prayed over him and when I came back in it was interesting I I just was unsure about it you know so I didn't do it again and about two days later I ended up talking to this guy this prophetic guy and he was telling me about how he had just gotten a massive attack two days earlier and how all of a sudden it had just broken like it just left him and as he and I discussed we coordinated our times because he was in a different time zone and it was the exact time I was in that in that in the spirit praying for him and that was just that was amazing but interestingly enough man what happened was he ended up asking me he kept asking me to pray that God would reveal who the in times prophet Elijah was and so I'm at work and so I'm a a business consultant for oil and gas and that's that's what I do full-time this is this is what I love to do here and my ration but you know one pays the bills the other the other doesn't yeah and so anyway so he's this dude shoots me an email and I need to for me to ask God to reveal who the intense prophet Elijah was and it's like as a kind of a PS at the bottom of his email and and I'm sitting at work in cubicle Ville you know and and I'm like alright I'll do that and so I I just said God would you show me who the in times prophet Elijah is and I kid you not man it was like a lightning bolt strikes the room it's like bang and I mean it flashes and all of a sudden maybe five six feet out in front of me like in the in the middle of the and just the room in the space this portal starts to open up and it's like burning from the inside and it's just opening like this and it gets about this big and it's like I can start to almost see through it and it's the description in Revelation 4 of the throne room of God you know with the lightning and all that and I can I can hear like the angels worship and I mean I'm I'm just I'm blown away and it's one it at the time it was the most powerful vision especially open vision like that I'd ever had and it gets you know maybe three feet wide I'm thinking dude I'm crawling in that sucker I mean I'm I'm just about to see if I can crawl into it and it slams shut and I hear this voice says this dude and I'm not in her name in his name but I said this dude is the end times prophet Elijah and then it's gone I'm looking around the room thinking yep did anybody else just see what happened here and and I'm even yeah my coworker cut came by me and my face must have been white or something because he said do you okay am i I don't know so I ended up emailing this dude and kind of and I asked him and he said yep that's who I am and mom my aw crap now what I did you know and so we went we went probably four or five man maybe maybe three months after that and so was now all kind of planning and you know how do you how do we do all this and I kept asking him and I'm like all right dude if you're really the guy lets show me some stuff man I mean it's like this dude can do some amazing things and I said no no it's not time it's not time my ministry hadn't started yet and so kind of a long story short with this he he kept alluding to you know the you know what was the craft in Ezekiel and what did Izzie kill really see and all this stuff and and in the end you know I started having some red flags but it's like but I kept hanging on to this vision because it was powerful and I even my pastor at the time I even you know sought counsel from him and he's like and I he said we'll walk through this together he said but I don't know what to tell you said nothing at the time was like completely unbiblical you know we could back a lot of it up and things but in the end you know what I kind of uncovered was it you know he believed that Jesus was an extraterrestrial you know and was was waiting out on a ship you know in the atmosphere and just waiting kind of it was more of a more of an ET kind of a deal not you know holy sovereign God not Jesus as as I know Amos as God and Lord and Savior so you know once I started seeing that and then you know I ended up having a kind of an argument with him on a on a Skype call and I think I think you and I talked about it but yeah and basically I was confronting him on on some things and I he got so angry just screams and in the in the screen and and at the time you know and I was this I was a tough warrior guy and it startled my spirit man I mean like when he did that he got up in in the in the camera and it started my spirit and I'd never had that happen before and and I you know I'd do all kinds of stuff and dude I like took a setback and as soon as he did it it was like he knew he messed up but he's like he went blank for like 20 seconds and just stared off into space and like kind of comes to and and he's back and I'm like dude I think we're done but what was crazy there was a couple of other people in this little small group and when I announced to the group said guys I'm out if you want to know why you can call me directly and in a couple of days and they were all over the world and two of them were saying yeah actually he's been doing this to us and had really almost enslaved them and was able to kind of train really translocate and show up in their bedrooms and I may just litter scaring the hell out of them and they they felt like Manny this is the man of gods so I kind of you know how all that that junk works once I said guys I'm out this dude is powered by a big old massive demon and is not who he says he is then they kind of confessed him what was happening to them and and they were able to get out but half a more there were two individuals that stayed in and just kind of ignored all all of the stuff because they wanted it so bad to be true and I and I did as well to be quite honest and so man that after that experience that just it jacked me up because mm-hmm I I always thought I had good discernment especially in the spirit and my man I was totally deceived in this space and so I literally shut everything down I'm like all right I'm gonna spend about a year I'm not even gonna pray I'm shutting closing all spirit communication lines off and I'm just gonna read I'm gonna read the whole Bible again and reset you know and so that's that's what I did actually and it was interesting because he they tried to contact me one or two times I just said nope I'm done and then we moved to to Houston kind of during that time and and I had gotten into some some counseling with with a guy that actually did you know SRA work and it was we had a guy living with us that was a you know showing some signs of some pretty nasty stuff and I ended up talking with this dude and he said yeah I just I'll kind of teach you how to do some of the prayer counseling but just you know come on in for a session and that's the best way to do it well in in the session I answered some some of the questions incorrectly I ended up being the patient for a little bit of time which which actually was good on one hand but he was also a dude that was even though he done all the sra stuff he was like anti spirit everything even though he was led by the Holy Spirit in the prayer but he was afraid of everything and you know even like speaking in tongues oh no it's bad because you don't know if that if a demon speaking through you and Kirsten are you and all this stuff and and when I told him about you know my experience of slide now out of the body he was all that's asked her projection that's wrong it's demonic you know and and and so it really kind of confused me in a lot of ways because I'd never really especially before that hadn't had a massive prayer language and tongues at that point in time but I had enough and I knew it's like no this is this is okay there's good things and healthy things to this and then so we moved to Houston and still was kind of coming out of this I end up getting involved in in a Methodist Church of all of all places for somebody like me to land but they had a freedom and healing team that I mean they they went after physical healing and also deliverance work I'm like hey this would be a good good place for me to land and just kind of rest and so that was a really a healing space for me and just you know I they were all probably 20 years older than I was and and I've never been in a place where there were educated men and women that were seasoned in life and just good solid meal wise people and so that was healthy but about six months after we moved to the Houston sitting at a barbecue in a neighborhood barbecue new neighbors and all that and several the guys and I are talking you know just life and we discover and we'd all grown up in the church and couple of us had had some encounters and the most common theme that we talked about was how bored we were in the church we're like dude this is this is painful man just it's boring you know it's like you you get into life and it's like conquer you know it's like be successful it's work hard it's its dual you know all the things that you do and I do as well and you get into Church and slike meek and mild and you got to sit back and just be passive and it's like do this this sucks I don't want to do this anymore and you know and the other it was like you know we don't want to do an accountability group because you know what all those things are as you tell me your sin and then the other guy says why I'm bad and all the crap I got to do too fix it and and all that stuff so but none of us leave changed you know it's more performance and so we just said hey what why don't we just meet together with no agenda with no Bible study and that was like oh you know can you can you do that you know and and you know the purpose wasn't to go study books of the Bible or any other books and so what if we just met for the sole purpose of encountering the presence of God no other reason like that sounds a little different let's let's try that and so about eight years ago I guess now we we met for the first time it's just five five regular dudes and we really for the first asked probably 3040 minutes just talked about life I mean you know guys don't typically get together and and talk about life very much and so we just kind of unloaded things and at the end of it we said hey you know we probably ought to pray to make this kind of an official Bible study and so we we did and as soon as we kind of just settled and just you know did the traditional you know bow our heads close our eyes it was like the presence of God fell like this heavy blanket and dude it was I remember sitting there at the time it's like nobody said a word because you're afraid you were gonna wreck the spirit or something and we just sat there it felt like you know 30 minutes but I think it was only like five and and then somebody I think got the courage to actually say something and then we kind of said amen and we're like wow that was that was powerful and so we said we're gonna do this again and so we've met almost every single week for the last eight years just as as our our prayer group and that really started us on on two main journeys number one just the encountering the presence and angels and all kinds of things but then really more on identity in Christ and a deepening of that yeah was really that journey that started for that time Wow in I know I've been rockin I got so many questions but I know you're gonna keep going with this story man I'm gonna keep having so many more I want to excuse me I'll get to the okay I'll get to the name the flying penguins and then we can probably pause there for a second all right great and so you know we've been meeting I guess maybe six months and one of the guys was from London and his brother-in-law was over here for Christmas break timeframe brother-in-law was prophetic we're like yeah come join us May it'll be great and you know we'd have people join here and there but so as we're worshiping and we do we just do YouTube I'd have it up in my media room and we do YouTube and just do the YouTube worship and so as we're worshiping and our whole premise you know is that we want to be free we want to push the envelope and so I'm always like man if if you've never stood during worship stand up you know try something crazy you know and and we're like you know if you've never raised your hands never sung you know ridiculously loud just do it man just let it go so as we're worshiping you know we're look I'm looking over and his brother-in-law's like looking around the room like he's seeing something really there and so we're like hey dude what's wrong with your brother-in-law is he freaking out on us and and so he we finally asked him and in this and I'll butcher the English accent but it makes it awesome he's like he looks and she's like there are penguins flying through this room and he sees I mean he's seeing penguins fly through the room and and you know he saw some alligators and different things and so we were we kind of laughed you know and just went on and later that night as I'm praying I suddenly have this just this awesome vision and it's this penguin way up in the jet stream way way up and it's flying in this jet stream and I'm kind of looking at this and I'm kind of laughing a little bit and the Lord says hey that's that's you that's this group you're penguins like oh man it's like Lord I don't want to be a penguin you know your word talks about Eagles man I want to be in like your word and the father responds back and he's like he said no no they said an eagle's wings will break in the intensity of the jet stream said only a penguin can fly there and I want you all to fly in the intensity of my holy spirit jet stream and like okay we're penguins and so from that point on we became the flying penguins because you only only penguins got to be up in the extreme you know atmosphere if you will and and a penguin can't fly exhibit you know I know I was like there's a whole lot deeper than just simply we're doing what we were told we cannot do right the Penguins were flying something I just looked up here just typing it can penguins fly and it says no but they fly through the water so they would apply through the water it's actually yeah so that's really awesome eh I really like the concept behind that - that's awesome it came from a vision like that oh yeah I'm gonna go ahead and jump straight to a commercial break right quick but on the other side I got a couple questions for you about these encounters man I want to revisit that heaven portal hole and I've seen that what about man seems to think about that now so we're gonna go to a quick break we'll be right back stay with us s so the encountering Jesus the hem of His garment meditation man if you guys are familiar with the story in the Bible with the woman with the issue of blood you're pretty much coming at it from her perspective so you translate it back to ancient Jerusalem 2,000 years ago and you're walking through the streets now there's ambience we have voice actors and all of those things as you're encountering people walking through the streets and as you're moving through the crowded streets there's things on the left and on the right they're trying to get your attention there's vendors trying to sell you things there's groups of ladies that you meet who are trying to pull you off the road they're trying to gossip about you you see all of this stuff going on but you see Jesus straight ahead and you're just trying to focus on Jesus with all of these different distractions that are coming and the different distractions that I put in there was something that God translated to me that people were dealing with and some of it was stuff that I have conquered in my own life that I was able just to kind of start rolling with it when the Lord told me to go there but it's dealing with gossip it's dealing with slander backbiting inconsistency and getting pulled off the path so as you're going through the meditation you're being ministered to for some of these areas in your life that we've all struggled with so again you're pushing further you see Jesus ahead of you and you just know that all you got to do is get close to him everybody's fighting for his attention and you just know you just got to get close enough just to say hello just close enough if he can see me I just got to touch him and so you go in and I don't want to give it away but you go in and you encounter the love of Christ you encounter Jesus he ministers to you and it's just this beautiful encounter that you have and it's about 16 minutes but as you have this encounter I've also created these meditations so that you can just kind of keep going as you go in you're already deep into the trance state you can kind of keep going with the encounter so the music continues to go for an hour so there's testimonies about people who are going in and they're encountering Jesus they're encountering God they're encountering angels and really just getting downloads from the father's heart for their self so I urge you to check it out the encountering Jesus the hem of His garment meditation and I guarantee that you'll be blessed from checking it out a new sound is

- consciousness com we look forward to seeing you there all right we're back so you're talking about having this crazy encounter a portal opened up in front of you you've seen lightnings and flashings and thunders and glory and things like that on the other realm it closed up and then you heard a voice you but do you believe that that was the voice of God that you heard or was this fellow able to facilitate that I almost wonder because it like maybe you had the the encounter but you interpreted it wrong maybe it possible something else to you like you thought it was confirmation about this guy because where does that come through when we talk about like the false prophets and stuff in the scriptures it says they come through with lying signs and wonder they can be on fire from heaven and things like that do you think that that wasn't a genuine encounter do you think that the guy really was Elijah or whoever it was I mean well I mean what are you staying with that vision now you do that that's a good question and and I have wrestled through that because you know so I'll say at the time to me I I thought it was the voice of God and and there was no interpretation of what was said it was this it was this guy's name and it said this guy's name is the end time prophet Elijah so you know and so you know I know I do not believe he's the in times prophet Elijah my eschatology is radically changed and I'm you know I'm not as much of the end times guy anymore but a nun that's not actually because of that but so no I don't believe easily in terms of studying it just because of studying the end times and you maybe felt like everybody had it wrong or something like just do a little study in a second we're on this path of this study in the scriptures and throwing everything away I mean a lot of people when they have an awakening I said okay I know some things and I believe some things over the years that weren't of you I need to unlearn this stuff and let you teach me again you know and just kinda scent sounds like that's what you did and then you really go through the scriptures yeah you know and so as I've wrestled through it I mean it's I've I know now the dudes not the intense prophet Elijah so so then when I made that conclusion and I still stand by that now now Mike will crap now I have to go back and really assess on do an honest assessment of the entire vision and the voice you know and I think there's no other way for me than to say that it at a minimum the voice that I heard was not the voice of God because it was incorrect you know and then the other is okay then do I have do I throw the whole thing out the whole vision and to be honest I don't know because you know the the vision was I think in alignment with Scripture you know it was a portal it opened which we see in in Revelation 4 right that's you know do you says hey come up here and some translations say you know a door opened up and I know in the passion translation it talks about a portal opening up and and then it was the description of Revelation 4 and so you know I think it's that aspect of it I think is is good and I think I can hang on to that but yeah it's a it's a hard one man on how how to fully deal with it but it's like like like I'm saying moving forward because then you're like questioning everything you know which should oh yeah you should question everything or everyone who comes saying hey I am this guy I am Jesus I am you know David Koresh these guys I mean and those are just the popular ones you're talking about a guy that not many people have heard of I know a bunch of them I know people you know we've talked about this on other shows but who claim to be all of the prophets and disciples reincarnated and here at the end times and then there's another group 70 miles away who claim to be the same prophets in the flesh you know and just a lot of weird theology I've dealt with people in counseling sessions who have been a part of groups who got the leader claims to be Jesus and and all the followers believe that he and and it was hard for me to convince her I don't think that I convinced her that he wasn't Jesus you know and it's you it we have to be careful in what we're doing and you see this because you've been through it you have an eye for it now but when people come with some knowledge or do something different to like kind of woo you or win you over and you okay what else you got what else you got okay I'm Yu Ziqi oh okay my brother is Ezekiel's whatever crazy stuff I've been a part of those groups I've left those groups I know I know men who live in the woods who have taken on vows of poverty yeah they believe that they are the last apostle sent to America before the coming judgement they live in the woods they go to the street corner and they preach they tell stories about how God is providing with them with providing for them with little coupons that they found on the ground for Taco Bell them and their wife you know and it's these miracles just like and you can relate it back to the Ezekiel in the Bible where I get Ezekiel eyes a mixed up maybe Elisha where God fed him with the Raven yeah I brought him food and when he was hungry and God supply and so the weird thing is that we have to be a hundred percent honest here with the mind how powerful the mind is oh yeah I will and the emotions are and we create I believe we can create our encounters too and I wanted to explore that with you but yeah wanting something so much that we create and we believe it for ourselves I mean this works with with so much stuff like whether it's real whether it's a real encounter whether God really showed up or that through our mind we willed God to show show up or we summoned God to show up and say and do what we want it to do I mean this is just the difference between having these organic encounters that are happening and then on the other hand you know we have this thing where we're facilitating encounters as well whether it's you know the meditations that are produced and then you have one that you do that you know walking with Jesus in the garden and people have that encounter and it's like okay did I really encounter Jesus I feel like I did I'm changed I'm in tears I found healing for my soul and it's like he was really there you know was he really there did we summon him or does it work both both ways and so it gets into the imagination you know and and creating these things and and we've taught the people who believe that God is the imagination that God is consciousness you know and right it ties in with creating as you speak it and facilitating your own encounter and we may be what you guys are doing we're meeting we're having a meeting and we're gonna sit here until God moves and then you all come with the same intention the placebo kicks in mmm create an encounter God moves God shows up something happens we explore it we have this this crazy encounter but you kind of come expecting so there's this weird thing about these organic things that happen for how organic are they at the same time we're you know we have to explore that and then the universe and the willful encounter encounters that worse we're kind of creating ourselves alright because we don't want it we don't want it to be something in our mind but then again we know we have to utilize the mind in the imagination to even have this conversation or to even show up and and hope something happens or a sporting downer you have to hope in your mind and in your heart that if I ask he will show up so let's do that what that looks like it sounds like is it something created in our minds I remember you know just going through the charismatic thing and praying for people and fire and falling out and stepping over people on the ground because everybody's rolling in the glory and I love that stuff but it got to a point where I would pray inwardly and I would whisper it father nothing fake nothing made-up nothing fake nothing made up and I was like if this is real I want you to show up in power but I don't want to will anything to happen and yeah and when I when I would approach it like that crazy stuff would happen mmm I got like God would move in power when we prayed for people cuz I'm like nothing fake God only you I don't want to push nobody I don't want to shake nobody and God would really just wreck my mind and show up and fill everybody with glory and stuff so yeah what do you think about that man because there's two sides to the coin maybe maybe God is the coin he is both sides of the two sides right what do you say yeah no you know it's an interesting question I and I had somebody asked almost that same thing to me you know I started journaling years and years ago and and I had this this lady read my journal who wasn't really a believer and and she you know it was cool because she didn't doubt the experiences but she just asked you know basically how do you know kind of what you're say how do you know it's it's Jesus or or God and not just you you found the magic words and have tapped into something else like kind of what you're saying potentially like the consciousness or those things and you know it's like man I'd at the time I'd never really thought of it like that and so where I am I think you know number one I guess the difference that I see is that there is something different with the name of Christ I mean any other name and you can you can invoke you can do different things but when you bring Jesus into the into the picture into the situation it's like there's something different with him even if they don't like him or whatever but when you bring Jesus in it's like man there's power to that and that really for me is has kind of kept me focused on Christ and on on him as Lord and Savior so you know I absolutely stick to that but I also know and I know you you've seen a lot as well that you know there are people in the occult that you know are not following Jesus you know as the Son of God and as Savior who moved powerfully in the spiritual dimensions and in the spiritual planes and so it's to me it's foolish to deny oh you know there isn't something else going on there and so I think my opinion is I think as as human beings created in the image of God which all of us are I think we have that natural innate desire to experience God the Father in spirit and so if you if you aren't if you have not accepted Christ and become a new creation then you're trying to get in like through a back door or side doors kind of how I see it and you know folks do operate in a spiritual dimension and I might I'd say where I am right now with that is that there's a there's definitely a spiritual plane or several planes that anyone I think can operate in I mean it's let's be honest but then there's like the the abode of God the the heavens that you can only access through the blood through the blood of Christ and and having that that regeneration if you will and it's interesting we we actually saw this with just you know probably a year and a half ago we were in the group that we are with we discovered there was some some folks that just they weren't they weren't good people and they were doing some some bad stuff and one of the younger guys was actually ascending with this other person in the spirit and as they were coming up through you know into the clouds and he goes right through the clouds and into the throne room of God directly and this other person bumps like literally bumped the bottom of the cloud and couldn't go any higher or any further and was not able to enter into the throne room and you know initially we and actually I don't think he ever even told me that until after we discovered some things it our I guess in our assessment was wait a minute they're there as a believer there's no restriction the veil has been torn there's no separation but if you're not then there is that that separation I believe in that and that was our scheming that was it really caused us to wonder you know right so who is this person what's really going on but so I guess you know I say that I do believe that anyone can operate in it and but there there is a difference with Christ and and becoming a new creation which is only through Christ but you know as far as do we summon it do we does it only come to us you know it's a good question and I struggled with that you know a while ago you know a couple of number of years ago now cuz it was like you it's like man I don't I don't want this to be fake I know our imaginations are powerful I know we can do things and it's like I don't I don't want to I don't want it to be my own will that kind of creates this and so for a while like all right if I can control it then then it's no good it's it's not God you know and so I I kind of went on those lines for a little bit and and then as we really got deeper into the Penguins things were happening so much so fast all the time and you know the last eight years have have blown away in comparison really the you know the previous 30-plus of my life in supernaturally I would say and so I know I think I'm what I would say at least now as I'm as you guys bringing me deeper an identity in Christ and even as a co heir with Christ which is obviously what what the word talks about being cool airs and I didn't really understand I still don't really understand it to be quite honest I feel like I'm just scratching the surface with it yeah and you know the concept of how I understand being a co air is that you're on the same playing field which is weird you know as Christ because of what he's done is in created as a new creation but then I have responsibilities as well I mean if you look at a marriage relationship you know there's it's intended to be Co equals you know that it's it's a partnership and a co air kind of a relationship and I think that's why there's so much Bridal language and in the New Testament especially with our relationship with Christ is because that co air and that responsibility so yeah I do believe that we have the ability to gosh I mean I DS the word manufacture but I I do believe that we manifest I mean that's it's so crazy it's like so it's it's weird when you look back over those encounters you can probably to be honest to see that you got what you desired for the most part right yeah even in the spontaneous ones like you desired but the hard thing is to say when you're when you get something new you know you just open maybe that's a desire to Lord blow our minds all right we want something new and if you're looking for that you're open for that God shows up you know I remember every like we would get what we were looking for with these encounters and stuff and like yeah it you know there's power in the mind and and you have the placebo effect as well that if you believe it you will receive it you're not talk about that when it comes to you know whether it's spiritual warfare or angels and demons or aliens or whatever like if you believe something you can will it to happen even if it's only in your mind and in your conscious realm and your reality for you I was just thinking this morning you know I was driving through the city and just remembering you know when I was in those cults and the end-times stuff and we would study the architecture and look at Illuminati symbolism and we were just and you would just have daytime visions of everything being destroyed of bombs dropping of Christ burning sky and like whatever you're looking for your worldview you it's gonna change the way that you act and react and inform conversations and want to engage people even as a friend you know and things like that so it's just like all of the stuff shapes your worldview and it's it's really hard to put put your finger on it because you know we're facilitating awakening we're facilitating these encounters and I have no doubt that these people are that that God wants to encounter people right yes is his desire for us to have just the depth in the realm and maybe each realm of consciousness as a facet of who he is maybe the destruction side of God the destroyer and then maybe the other side of God the Creator and then God the friend and then God the lover and God the fighter and like all of the African realms and areas of consciousness that he is real like it you can explore whatever realm you want and whatever you believe you're gonna create and you're gonna explore that and it's real if it's only real to you your world you and so I'm like you man and those just those beautiful encounters that we found out what we call or what the Bible calls waiting on the Lord those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength and some of the most powerful times is just getting together with a group of brothers where two or more gathered there I am in the midst see none of this stuff works unless you believe in it but I believe in it if you put your faith and believe in it then you unlock the keys in the of the kingdom or the mysteries of heaven the mysteries of enlightenment the mysteries of encounter with the Living God and the depths of Christ if you believe it so we get together we say god we just want you to show up and sit in silence and things start happening you know you create an encounter that way and so you're looking at the Bible the placebo effect then people got what they were looking for the woman with the issue of blood if I there's no healing in them in him of his garment he did not wear a special cloak that he charged up every night and they release energy and portions event that did not happen right in her mind her being knows that this guy is so beautiful I've heard so many stories about him healing the sick raising the dead there's so many people in the way all I got to do is get close enough if I can touch the hem of His garment and I'll be healed yeah and it was given to her according to her faith or according to her belief because I believed it and she encountered it and then we see Jesus go into other cities and here is God in the flesh or the son of God made manifest before creation he's walking through the city healing people in scriptures that say he healed everybody in that city he went to another city they knew who he was they grew up with him they might he played basketball with them they went to school with them this is this is Yahshua ben yosef this is jesus the son of the carpenter he's not a messiah trust me I know him he went into cities and couldn't heal anyone because of their unbelief if they believe that they could have received it and and more source realms of your belief in your faith unlocking these different dimensions absolutely and greater things are possible so it's unlocked by your faith I mean then it shows that well we have lack of faith you know you've never encountered and we don't know that this is real and we're just gonna come to a sermon but just the beautiful mystery of it all yeah and dance with God and creation is it so mysterious in the mystery I believe is revealed in Christ and the supremacy of Christ and and you saying his name has power his name has power because you believed it has power and you know and if you can just if I can just utter that word his name was in Jesus right as far as like the pronunciation and you say it right but if I could just get that name off of my lips then this this encounter this nightmare these demons will subside and then you get the name and it breaks it's according to our face but it is we created as we believe it and we're able to enjoy those realms and encounter it and explore it man I don't know if you have anything to add off the back of my little ramp but it is uh it is a mystery and a song-and-dance that that we create as we speak and as we believe no I'm with you I mean you know and as you point out I mean clearly biblically faith plays a role and a significant role but then as he also said in some cases it doesn't seem to play a role even even despite a lack of faith and if we even look at Paul I mean that was a total I mean he was 180 you know and and had that had the conversion knocked off as horse all that good stuff so it's yeah man I mean it's uh there is it plays a huge role with that um and hello I mean it's kind of one of those I'm always wrestling through it and I find you know I find the more I encounter God the Father especially the more he unravels my theology and then I have to put it back together and then dig into the word and and and like dude I never saw that before and exactly what you're saying it's because my filter had been you know pointed a certain way and you know based on the where I've grown up and my teaching and all this it put blinders on in some cases and it's it's there in the word the whole time it was just how I interpreted based on the filter that I had and so I find that more often than not man is that the encounters unravel the some of that theology and forced me to go back and dig into the word and and for me though it's the you know the word for me in the Bible is the anchor that that keeps me on the straight and narrow but I I see the Bible as the introductory love letter you know it's not obviously you know there are there are folks your cessationists are like man nothing nothing happens now and if you can't see it in the Bible directly then it's bad and you know and I love valuating Clayton always always says like you know show me a computer show me a car show me all the things or the Facebook ministry show me yeah Facebook mr. Bates you know and so you while the Bible I believe is the the authority the authoritarian Word of God but it's the opening you know it's it's the introduction because it's you know we don't worship the Bible you know it's it is what leads us to the person that we worship which God the Father and Jesus and so it's a it's it is that guideline but it kind of puts I guess boundaries on it I say I hesitate to say boundaries because every time I think I've found the boundary it like it's blown out of the water and yeah my goodness you know but I I guess for me interesting things is that you know I actually just bought because of your your interview while ago with praying medic so I bought a couple of his books I hadn't read any stuff before and loved it and I finished how to you know traveling in the spirit made made simple and I realized wow we've done I I do almost everything he's talking about in there on pretty consistent and pretty consistent basis and I was like man the one thing I haven't had happen yet is the translocation like what we see with Philip the physical and I know guys that have done that and funny enough we I was in Colombia on a mission trip and got two days in a row translocated an entire bus of us I mean we were on a bus and the journey for the you know Tuesday Wednesday was supposed to take an hour in ten minutes and it took thirty five minutes this is in Bogota Colombia crazy traffic a bus driver that knows this route drives it and we all of a sudden were there and we were worshiping the whole time and it was we were lost in the spirit and all of a sudden were like okay we're here and the bus driver is totally confused and he's like this isn't right something's not right because he knows this and in here we are I mean we get physically translocated in the spirit you know right sweet man we've done we've done all of it but I think what's interesting there is that the you know we're having like I'll have a lot of these experiences either personally or with with the flying penguins you know and then I'll read about it like either through something you post or like Ian Clayton or Justin Abraham that's true on those paths and it's it's all the same I'm like that is that's crazy when you have very very similar experiences or like you know even the garden experience that that we do I mean that's not no we didn't make it up you know it was many many people have very similar if not exact experiences and so it's like alright god you are doing something and I one thing and maybe maybe you've seen this I I haven't yet is what I haven't seen is like for if you're in a group you know with non-christians right if they see and experience the same stuff or if it's different and I've you know I've heard some of the Ascension groups you know say hey don't do that because there's too much opportunity for exception that you know they they move in the different realms that aren't maybe sanctified or though those things but I haven't really I haven't had to be honest any experience with it because at least anybody that taken into the garden if they if they weren't believers before they come out of it yes the feedback that I'm getting from the you know the meditations and one guy here Memphis I you know I've never done a Christian meditation and I think it was a throne room when it wasn't even the Jesus owner he's like I never had a Christian bit but you come and face to face with the Creator and you know it's because I have an encounter through it and they're they're coming out with their lives changed of something that we're able to facilitate Oh something beautiful like like those things is like that we're able to experience it first like yeah that was like it's almost like just detailing my own journey okay father what are we doing next okay I see that okay what would you say you love them you've called them a purpose okay you know and so there's just it's not like just getting creative and oh I made this up it's like I'm trying to channel the Father's heart he's bidding people to come you know and the spirit and bride say come you know it when you come even if they get tricked into coming you know what I'm saying they're able to have that encounter but everybody approaches that even from a different level of faith as well some people know him as lying some people know that know him as lamb some people know right creator some people as destroyer again there are these different levels of yachts that people come to and hopefully it's more on the loving side is the goal to get you to know Bob says that God is love and I think that anything that resonates in love whether it's Christian or anything outside of Christian Christendom I think it's safe if done in the intention of love which is the greatest the greatest vibration again I think it's God if it's done of love it's God because God is love so and again like I don't I don't judge people anymore about you know I'm a Christian or hey I'll have the Bible or whatever because we know some pretty nasty people who use the Bible and Havana and have to but so the Bible is the plumb line as far as like trying to filter all that love story because the Bible is a love story for us believers I once offended someone when I said that if you're not then the Bible becomes a horse or a Horror Story but those who on the on the other side of the coin there you know but again it's it's how do you know him like what is it to you to me it's a yeah of love story to God engaging us so I think you know I think without without love then God God does become the the big nasty policeman up in the sky that's ready to just to pound you into the dirt every time you make a mistake and I think you and I see so many in the church unfortunately that you know while they say Ya Ya Jesus forgave us all that they really they live in a sin management religion that's absolutely brutal and you know you get all these angry prophets on on the street corner and while they are speaking truth of the Bible they're they're so angry because they see God's this wrathful judgmental you know father it's gonna blow everything up you know tomorrow and they filter his word and his love through that limbs and it comes out angry and judgmental because they feel my opinion they feel judged themselves and so you you really can only according to how you believe I think for me that's where man as identity is taken more and more hold in my life and you know really who Jesus already says that I am you know it as a new creation I'm holy I'm righteous I'm pure because of what Jesus has done yeah then man it's like I'm free and I'm free to love I'm freedom experiences love and man my you know I would say my temper at times and those things it's it's reducing it's not gone you know but it's it's it's getting more and more like Christ but it's becoming it's because of the in inside in the belief system that that God has been showing me on identity and and that's to be honest that's gotten me in massive trouble the last two years that within the church they just they freaked out because they're so focused on managing sin that when you really for me I begin to realize so you know we don't have a sin problem we have an identity problem sin is just the is the symptom and the outflow of a poor identity in Christ and so the more we we get ahold of that then the more our our behavior reflects that and becomes more loved oh yeah you know I thought that'd be good news for folks and they didn't think so have experienced it yet and hopefully they will they may never that may be you know that may be their final destination when it when faith is faith is concern but again yeah I'd say come and the deep the deepness and the depths of God is and what that is it will make you an enemy to those who are in religion or the religious spirit and Jezebel and use and control it face those demons and so it's really interesting like in in the Kabbalah they believe that like ascending to heaven like just guarded by these different angels in ranking rock well let you by unless you you have a company you've completed these tasks and so I believe in a the tasks and things like that that we have to complete their levels of sanctification whether it's like realms of belief in areas that we've given God our full trust and we trust God here but we don't trust him there well that's only gonna let you ascend to a certain level to walk in perfection is that inner sanctification process but they believe that it's guarded by these different different levels and things like that yeah I don't know if I believe that they're actually they're warring angels or whatever the case is but I do know that there are levels to it and there's things that we've believed whether it's through reading the word the bob says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so reading the scriptures and just unlocking face that way to believe bigger things and then a faith in action is like taking the word into the streets and then or in prayer time or asking God or trying God in this area testing him to see if he's if it's real you know and so you start to have your mind expanded and so most of the time like Moses when he went up to the mountain he went up there alone right had to take his word for it and hopefully that his his uh you know his character his manifestation and things like that changed when he came down but for most of us it's these benches that come out of the secret place yeah but it changes them and people want you to prove it it's like do I have to try to repeat it I can take you with me on these encounters you know these type of things for you to for you to believe but the things we've seen an experienced man the miracles we've seen God show up and provide and all of that stuff it's not it's not really communicated through speech you know it is it really is they have these this it this intimate relationship with the father where you learn as a student and as a child firsthand through what he has mapped out for you revealed through fellowship with the Holy Spirit which is the teacher you know absolutely absolutely well I think you know if if your encounters are not causing you to love people better yeah then I would really question the encounters you know because that's the heart of the father is as you said his love is to love yeah and we encounter him the more to truly encounter him the more he transforms us the more and we should be loving other people and so as the you know as the word says we judge by the fruit and if your fruit is rotten coming out of it then man you need to really look at those things and understand it but I think just touching on the levels for a second you know I think there is something to that I think but it's I see it as more like a maturity you know like I've got so I've got four kids and I'm not gonna give my eleven-year-old son the keys to my car because he's not mature enough to drive yet I can't reach the pedals really but you know but it's but it's it's his because everything that is mine is his as part of family right so even though you were entrusted to him he still has access like right now to go get the keys yeah you know because it's like you know like you know when when they want when he wants a glass of milk or a nanny my kids want a glass of milk they don't come ask me and begged me to go open the fridge and get milk it's their house they go they go get milk out of the fridge and I can't a lot of mine does oh yeah yeah they dump it on the floor but I mean is that it's that concept of as as we mature you know we we gain access really if we can say it that way to more and more of the inheritance that that we already have you know and we can drive later we can we can do all those things and you know for me you know you get inheritance from somebody dies right so Jesus has already died and it claimed you in the word says we we get the inheritance the full inheritance but I do believe good as you're saying that as we mature and grow and the father can really trust our heart more because it's becoming more and more like Christ in our belief then I do believe we get access to more things because if you know one thing I yes you know guys that that prophesy from upfront you know and more publicly man if if their maturity is is not that good or if their view of God the Father is poor do they do a ton of damage to people when they're prophesying doom and gloom and that kind of crap from from a public setting because they're seeing it but their interpretation and how they interpret instead of speaking life or the opposite of what they're seeing they often will speak death and man it is it's awful and I think that that comes with maturity but I also believe that some of these things that we can do God doesn't allow us to do them yet because of the damage it would cause you know I think what we think we see that with when with Jesus it's the sons of thunder right when they basically they KITT they get pissed off because this town two rejects them right I can't matter where it is but they're like hey hey hey gee should we call fire down and basically destroy the place so it's like I love it man cuz they they were understanding who they were they understood the power they had through Christ but they didn't have the maturity yet and and I you know you can just see Jesus just like Oh guys come on I love that you're getting it but no you can't whack everybody yeah yeah it's interesting man and so like it's already there you know but it's like you your levels that we're going back again to the consciousness the level of consciousness that you're walking in yeah term Christ consciousness I think mine priced and and understand where he would he knew and so but there's levels to you know we just know him as Savior we just know he pulled us out of our sin now we know a message over Jireh the provider now we know him is my friend Jesus friend of sinners now we know him as companion now we know him as this and this and this and this now we know him as the god of lights the Lord of the lights note the 100 light speaks through the stars now in norms as the God who speaks through all creation yes nothing that is that exists that he doesn't know about and he's willing to communicate with you through it and God is in everything and so man I want to read the story again but Manley P Hall put out a book and he's got a couple dear friends like short stories he put together and one was about this guy who to win on this walk through the wilderness of praying and fasting and he had this encounter with was the Christ and everywhere he looked he's seen the face of Christ and everything he looked in the water in the ripples and he seen Christ and he looked at the son who seen Christ Wow in the hills in this relationship and everything he's doing he's plagued but he just sees the majesty of Christ in all things and it was such a beautiful story and so I can see myself in that of just being able to see him in all things because in Christendom we're told that God is here here and here not that God does in his word he's not this he's not that he's not this but it's like you know what just a to see him in the duality of all things you know of God in the light of the of God who creates the light and creates the darkness and he's in and of them both and there's nothing that you can do there's no way that nowhere that you can go to escape this love and it's all-consuming power and again that is a high level of consciousness to walk in to be able to see him operating in all things there Frank passionate and help other people when they're going through stuff why because you've trained yourself to see what what God is saying in this situation and then they even create an encounter like we're talking about get together with a couple people sit in silence okay God what are you what are you saying what are you doing and and now it's just become just a simple prayer for people when it's a small gathering somebody will tell us their story what they're dealing with asking for prayer and we just say okay father what would you say right what would you say we've heard their story we would know her opinion what she's going through what would you say and just really position yourself to know that God is speaking through some things Oh through all things man and God is the he's communicating with us and there's something to be learned and we see that in Paul's journey with his his ailment that he was dealing with and God says I got something I want to teach you I want to teach you that you can worship me when everything's going good but you seem to have a problem when things get kind of shaky your faith is you know then it rocky serve me when when things aren't going good and then I'll make you rule over more then I'll show you more I got more I want to show you but you're not ready you've not you're not walking in that level of consciousness yet that level of trust mmm again there's things that you can't right now because you're not ready right that wouldn't be you would give these pearl I have pearls for you yeah to the swine you want even and even Jesus says that you know and I can't it was one of the Pharisees that came to him and he's like dude if if you can't even understand things here that I'm trying to explain to ya you you're there's no chance for you to understand heavenly things you know and so there is that's the thing is there is more out there and I think you know it's interesting with the kind of your commentary on and Christendom you know you're taught no he's not nature he's not yes but you know what I see more and more is like it's the fingerprint of God it's the essence of God it's the it he is he's the creator of all things so his his essence is his fingerprints are everywhere and so I think we can see the beauty of it but of course then it's the all-new ages everything is God or or you know that it's you know if you get into more the hindu cider or those things that it's you know God is in everything and I think you can kind of to me it's like it's easy to get it mixed up to where then you begin worshiping nature instead of seeing the glory Evan brilliant I do believe I do believe creation as the word says is alive I mean they're there there's something to that I don't fully understand it but you know the word says the rocks will cry out the trees will clap their hands and you can say oh that's metaphorical you know but there's - yeah there's too many things out there that I'm seeing this like okay no everything is is in its it's all worshipping God the Father it's all directed there there is a glory of God that is worshipped and and then as co-heirs and sons we have a responsibility in that you know and and and even how we take care of the earth and the planet that's our responsibility and we've done a crap job you know but and I think part of that is because you know so much of the church is this end times view ad it's gonna blow up anyway don't don't worry about taking care of it and I think that's that's sad you know cuz my I mean that that goes to the earth but then I've heard him do that about the body yeah chicken tenders I like you know though you know get out by twelve so we can watch the football game and hit the buffet like that was their big thing and it was full of obese people you know and they they have this this this thinking of whether you know this is just a temporal body and you know it doesn't mean anything in which the shell and I'm gonna give it up soon and right here I'm like Jamaa even mock people working out making fun of people working out on the body that's gonna be destroyed by fire and warm Willy I've heard like Jimmy Swaggart and Donny swagger and those guys who I really loved their revelation of the cross man they have a revelation like no other no but you would hear them be be right on on some things and other things it would just like turn your stomach it's making fun of people who want to protect the planet or save whales and they're just bragging about polluting the water and all kind of weird so yeah so becoming conscious of that seeing God in that right here and in the animals and in relationships you know and yeah God in Jimmy Swaggart ministry oh yeah in the ministries that you don't like and being able to see the good in it and I for it you can get into trouble by doing that but it's still being able to see what they're bringing to the table man yeah that that's good you know oh yeah broken clock is Right twice a day you know exactly well I think you know so many and unfortunately they we you know it's like we're almost taught to abuse your body and to think it and see it as trash right because the the flesh is sinful and and I think when we've got that view then you know because our flesh is part of creation and so it responds to us I mean we're we're sons of the king we have authority in power so our body does respond - is our flesh does and if we are speaking death over it then you're gonna get sick and those things and you know for speaking life over it then things respond differently and I and I think it's uh and again to me it's all it all comes that short term mentality and really a misunderstanding that the there's a sense that this flesh it's just worthless we just need to shed the earth suit and jump in spirit and it's all good the Lord Terry yeah exactly but it's like all right if that's our view then we've totally misunderstood the resurrection because Jesus had a physical resurrection for a purpose and and I'll be honest I don't fully understand why he had the physical resurrection I mean yes there's the standard all for you know to heal the body and those things but it's not just for when we when we die and go to heaven there's where else we would have seen him in a vision you know or the the Bible said a vision not walking around physically eating touching all those things so I think there's there's something to the resurrected body which I do believe as new creations all of us have now we're not waiting for it we have a resurrected body and I'm not a hundred percent sure what we can do with it yet yeah some people are going out on some far-out things about eternal life and living forever and in the flesh and believe it and hey maybe they'll receive it tell them no you know what I'm saying man I'm it's I've been stretched on that that very subject and even you got guys like Kirby who you know they eat for only once every thirty days or a live off of next nothing and I've I've experimented quite a bit with that you know and going five to seven days and and getting in the spirit and praying and just you know feeling full I mean it's it's crazy there there's there's more to it than I think many understand or even are willing to admit so I mean it's like man we can there's so much we can we can do that I think we I think we limit ourselves really I mean that's part of that faith thing you know I I joke that you know Jesus says that we can do everything that he did more and one of those as he walked on water and I joke is like man I've been wet in my pool you know so many times trying to walk across it because I and I do believe one day I think I'm gonna be able to do that but it's not my power it's it's stretching faith you know it's even if I never do every time I empty every time I go it stretches my faith and that's and that's what I want is is to get my faith stretched and Criss Angel did it you can do it yeah exactly exactly because they eat well and that's a good point though we see in the occult dude they move in power I mean there's no denying that stuff it there's a power to it I do believe that that you know in Christ the everything's under his feet so that is the ultimate on supreme power you know but there's a power to those things and yeah they do it I mean I know you've seen it I've seen it it's like whoo but most most Christians don't walk in that kind of power because they they just either cessationist or they or they don't have that faith that allows them to really walk as good it would it would say why do you want to walk on water like what what good is that proving why do you want to walk on water I was like I asked the guy that who was he was a good friend we used to minister together then he got into the reformed theology John MacArthur that kind of stuff yeah it was like we're talking about how man we're just so supernatural and then good stuff encounter and there's like and the Bible says that we'll be able to drink UUP's a deadly poison it would not be harmed he's like yeah how would you want to do that I was like water site so if Tom came but I need to I want to be able to know that I can I need I need to run I want to be able to do it yeah you know and to be honest I think the some things because it's fun you know I think we get this yeah I mean it's we forget I always say sight we forget that that God has the biggest laugh of anybody in the universe you know and and we forget that he's joyful that we forget that he's that he's playful you know and that it is okay for us to actually enjoy life and to enjoy things you know we see that all through the the Old Testament and everything that man they those students were wealthy I mean they they enjoyed things I mean it talks about strong drink you know I'm not advocating alcoholism but at the same time there are there are so many things in the Bible that I mean you know wouldn't wouldn't be allowed in the church today if only we think of it but it's it's biblical and these are the heroes of the faith you know yeah man there's so much more and so hopefully that people who are listening they just get that like there's no cap like there's no cap on the realms of God and what you have access to where you're privy to and you just have to access about faith and and be taught of the Lord Himself yeah you're a true disciple not of Martin or Derek or Gil or who exactly will you be a disciple of Christ and let him TS his job let the man but the spirit did his job the job is to teach you and lead you and guide you into all truth and the Bible even says that you in first john that you need not any man to teach you but the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Truth will guide you into all truth and that's what he he does best and so when you get inducted into that Mystery School which we all are you know we're drawn away to go to that college you know and learn yeah you know in in I use this term a lot but in in this in the mystery school realm they have a term that they call the invisible college and there were there by the masters and the angels and the spirits that teach them in the invisible college so I liken that to our invisible College God the Father Holy Spirit Jesus the Angels the elders were being taught maybe our answer maybe the nature spirits I don't know if it is of course we have to take with it nature spirits where we sit outside and just you know say meditate and let the cool breeze hit hit your face and yeah I've done that and had beautiful encounters over my life and there's birds all around me like insane and I'd see the wind moving to the trees and it's the spirit and it's like it's almost like a creature we and the trees and it's just the wind cool of the day in the sight Wow I'm just in the door just a beauty of this realm that I'm able to see God or see how I am to my prayers and asking God to show up in that way and just so there's no cap on it you know don't let anybody rob you of your joy become like little children again man right and just been in an improve approach him with awe and wonder and book in belief remember I used to have dreams about this stuff I have dreams about healing people and dreams rates in the dead I would wake up sad but it's like man just engage that stuff for prayer believe the impossible again you know and godly people who he can send out there who is just willing to trust them in that stuff I mean he's got great and mighty things that you do not know and cannot find out unless you draw away into the secret chambers of the Lord I really believe that Jeremiah 33:3 that's my motto man and I that I've learnt of him and it's hard to articulate and it's hard to just sit down is I'm not that well spoken so it's hard to just sit down and articulate this stuff I've tried to do it with music and art and meditation and I'm done a decent job you know but they're not even scratched the surface of the different realms and abilities and I feel like I'm deep and I've seen so much but again I've only scratched the surface and then the other who have a whole nother aspect of different levels of consciousness that they've been walking in that I've not even been privy to so we get them on the show we want to interview them and hear their stories man so bro I really appreciate you coming on man let people know where they can get involved with what you do what you bring to the table your work yeah what you know when we can get a recorded version of that walk through the garden with Jesus you know yeah yeah so you know we've got our website it's the flying penguins dot org we've also got I'm also on a YouTube channel which is just the flying penguins and that's probably the best place with like the garden experience just how to hang out with Jesus and you know walks you through you know bit of the background with it but then also how to actually encounter and it's I kind of lead through that encounter then we've also got a Facebook page the flying penguins as well and then of course you know with the the next stagers and you know with what you and I get to do but then if you're in kind of the Houston area then we do meet Monday night says as men and then Saturdays as as youth as well and it's interesting man we've had I've had a couple of guys now come because they saw saw me on niether with Basham or one of you guys and we've just started meeting in a small church so that we can grow because we just had at the house and until then and to be honest it's a little weird man when somebody that you don't know anything about you know that wants to come to your house that I was I was uncomfortable with that initially and so now we've moved a small Church that I'm more comfortable with that which is which is good we've kind of done the same yes coming up it's like everybody wants to come to the house and we've had some we had a powerful encounter but you never know never know yeah again we're gonna do it are you been that at a building but yeah man I want to thank you again as well man just publicly for being a patron and supporting my work and believing in the vision and everything that you bring to the table it's beautiful and you got so much more to offer there's so much a whole bunch more questions that I had I'm sure we'll do this again when the Internet's working properly we could yeah yeah so but I've enjoyed this as well so man just you know the okay so there's different levels what right we're talking about if we believe it we can receive it what would you tell someone who's listening they're not a Christian they've never had an encounter with Christ I've never access to any of these meditations or anything but what would you how would you describe Jesus to them like if they wanted to close their eyes and pray or encounter him like if you believe that you will receive it what is this what do you think we need to leave Jesus what does he look like what does he sound like with it like who is it to you man good question you know I think so for me I mean I see Jesus as you know as a fella you know oftentimes it looks similar to me sounds similar to me in in my mind but there there's such a love there that in a freedom that man everything I thought negative about myself when I get into the presence of God and in front of Jesus it all that falls off man and it's like I feel so loved so accepted no matter what I'm doing it's like he just it's like he just integrates within me and his love and acceptance just overwhelms me and that's what transforms me and so you know what I would say just something that doesn't you know has never experienced Jesus like that's that's what's waiting for you in Christ and no matter what has happened to you no matter what what your life has been like and what others say about you there there is the God of the universe is dying desperately to have a relationship with you and to just just overwhelm you with this love and acceptance that's that's really what I'm after and and what why we do the garden experience is because I want I want not only on myself but everybody to have that face-to-face encounter with Christ because there are no words as I know you know when you encounter him there's just there's some things you can't explain but it's like you're home and and you're loved and you're accepted man I just love it that's good man as you were sharing that I just I felt the spirit man and I seen on you it was it was the Spirit of God in your heart center coming out from your heart coming out in layers and waves coming out all the way to your skin washing you refreshing you cleansing you with love and then going back into the heart so like from within and without this is cleansing from the heart coming out to cleanse and then just going back in radiating bigger and bigger and I could feel it I think there's some awful man so so good if anybody listening man just know that he loves you and he's made all provision listen he's moved heaven and earth for you to know who he is and if you don't know who he is if you're in a place right now where you can pray I'm gonna say a prayer and we'll let Martin pray as well but it's one uh god I just thank you for Christ Lord just for the sacrifice Lord that you've made for us Lord you've literally moved heaven and earth Lord that we wouldn't have any excuse that we would be separated from you that all we got to do is ask Father are you closer then our next breath father so we just celebrate you we thank you for your presence and for your love god I just ask you anybody out there who's listening who has never encountered your presence they have never felt this love from above this love from within also from without God I just ask you just to overtake them shatter them with your love guide your keys your joy your righteousness that only comes from you we may have tried to find it in the things of the earth God and things and other realms and drugs and relationships and substances God but true joy true peace and true bliss literally God is tangible euphoria light of love God comes from you I just asked you to overtake them right now I speak peace upon them and even as I seen in a vision guy coming out from their heart Lord and creating them a clean heart father got it in radiates out and just go out there there Adams God that their synapses more electrical system in their body just clean it all hook it all back up right according to your word God bring forth healing mind body and spirit I pray in Jesus name overshadow them with your love we bless you God yeah father I just I'm just I'm just so in love with you so blown away by your presence and just who you are and father I just I just speak to anybody right now listening whether you are believer in Christ or not that you would encounter them I just speak that right now just incredible encounters face to face with you Jesus where they that you define who they are you tell them who they are in you and I just speak to all negativity all harsh words that they would just be broken right now and that your truth would would just just flow into them and and out from them father God that your love and acceptance would be there so Jesus I just I thank you for that and for those that that are stuck in in bondage and and are into other things there is freedom in Christ and I just speak that freedom to you now and Jesus that you would show them the truth of what they're into and what they're bound up into and that it would be like this keyhole that you would present to them and that you give them the key that they can unlock and all the chains come off so I just thank you for that Jesus and they can enter into your rest and into your love so thank you in the name of your son Jesus we pray amen and amen bro thank you for coming on man I really enjoyed that we got to do it more yeah man bless you with everything you're doing look forward to working with you more with the next stages and our group sessions there and and growing in the spirit and seeing what God is doing there so love you man everybody make sure y'all go follow his work on YouTube you say you want iTunes and those things as well or no yeah you do on the N on the fringe as well hey friends got you up there for sure yeah yeah and Smith flying penguins you better find it man make sure y'all follow his work we do it again brother thanks so much thanks brother appreciate it I bless all right Martin Smith ladies and gentlemen man it's good stuff that is good stuff that's why we do what we do just we talk about him he shows up talking about the realms and the depths of God and who he is you know I had a friend once I'm not gonna say any names throw anybody under the bus but he he came at me with the rebuking said you know Derrick I don't think God likes the way you talk about the Bible I don't think God likes the way you're talking about this and and things and so you don't have to question that and say okay God you know do you because we're like you know I'm playing the devil's advocate in the good sense of the word I want to make sure this is real like I want to make sure that we're not just Tooting our own horn and just having a a good time and doing fun things and I want to make sure that the that I'm encountering the Christ or to make sure that I'm so we have these questions keep them to yourself don't let no because other people have these questions to other people wrestle with their faith and wrestle with these things how are we supposed to get closure if we don't openly talk about it and bring it to the table man is just so blessed to be able to be to be in a community and have people who believe in you have your back or willing to have a dialogue and conversation with you even though you may believe differently or whatever the case is said look there are depths there are levels to this we're talking about the love of God Jesus the love of Christ there's depth and in levels to his love then you can search it out there's realms wherever your bliss I've been in realms while I'm literally vibrating for days like my whole body is trembling for days and I just want to weep in tears because he's so beautiful and I've seen his beauty and it marked me for days and in the cares of the world comes in getting back into the swing of things and jobs and relationships and conversations you know but I do but I don't I don't know if we're supposed to live there but I do know that those are levels that exist and we've been there we've had beautiful encounter so we're gonna have more and I think God for every single one every single level even though the ones that are uncomfortable were not all of them aren't like that those levels were there's places I've been in some recently where I'm just in I'm fighting off depression and there's fear and there's what do we do next and how do we maintain this and there's questions that come up right but I Know Who I am in Christ so I draw from that wellspring of life even though we have this question we need to be reminded we got a family hey you're not the press true so you don't don't do it don't don't even let that stuff sink in right but if we didn't talk about it like we weren't open about it then I think God is honored in that I don't think I think it's a dishonest - it's dishonest - and it's disrespectful to act like we don't believe something or act like we don't feel a certain type of way because there are depths of it there's depths and levels of the scripture there's like man there are different levels to each scripture that you read of these Bible stories and the allegory and the meanings and then what if they really existed and honoring the people who came and and and then the people who wrote it you know what I'm saying there's just so and it just means so so many it means so much different things to you depending on where you are in your life and consciousness whatever level of consciousness you're walking in how do you see God listen I know people who take that same Bible and they're racist and in their Bible if you look at my Bible all the I have verses highlight it and highlight are all throughout the scriptures and it's usually about love and peace and I will bless you and you will overcome your enemies and you are more than a conqueror and I've created you to do beautiful things and these are these inspirational things that God has spoken to us through his word and communicated to us and those are highlighted in my Bible I know people in their Bibles they have everything that is according to race and slavery and all of these weird cryptic judgment and I'm gonna bring you into captivity and put you in bond is it they they look for those things their consciousness has been seared with a hot iron and they're only looking for those bad things and guess what what we talk about it's in the mind whatever you looking for you're gonna find if you're looking for the God who saves the God who pulls you out of the muck and the mire or the God who will deliver you out of the lion's den the God who was with you in the midst of the fire he's there but if you're looking for this this other deity and you create the God in your own image in your own likeness man and I've seen it and people are doing it they're preaching there on every corner fred phelps you know those people God hates these people god only loves these people this is God that is God here o Israel the Lord is one as a oneness in God he is in and through all things there is nothing exists that wasn't created through him by him and for him and to bring him glory at the end of the day whatever realm and understanding you are in if you're on the outer courts whether you're going into the inner course or whether you're in the Holy of Holies no matter what level you are where you are I appreciate that man but no there's more and if the work is like sometimes we get in these levels and we just we were just reminiscent of the past man I was help us I mean we've all said this man like I wish I could just go back to where like I didn't know anything I wish I can go back when I was ignorant you know ignorance is bliss I wish I can go back where I didn't question I wish I can go back or is just easy no you don't you had character Falls still you had things that you were struggling wit still all of the the trials and tribulations and things that have stacked up against you in and persecutions and in realms and understanding and questions and confusion that they all exist for a reason to create something in you to create character to create that to birth in you that pearl of great price man you can't buy that with money it takes time takes repetition it takes going through trials the loss of friends the loss of families the loss of faith to still hang on and still believe I'm telling you it's it's given unto you a great reward and for me I've always said that I think the persecution and I think the reward for all this stuff is its presence man to be able to be in this level of consciousness where all is bliss that's our acts we have access to that we have a birthright to go into sit in silence and just beast peace be still and know that He is God throughout it all it's all worth it nothing's by chance nothing's by accident embrace it all and just sit sit any man be thankful I know it's hard to be thankful when you're when you're going through it at least when you're done with it look look back at it man but when you're going through it I believe that you can just still you know ask God you know what are you trying to show me why am I here why is he's why these people doing this to me what are you trying to do and I believe the father will speak to you I really do some science resembles for synchronicities through people through television through the still small voice I mean there's many different ways through dreams and visions there's many different ways where the voice of God speaks to us he's so beautiful levels of consciousness man that's what it's about to go through have these experiences again the meditations that we bring to the table the music for sure is it creating an awakening and introducing people to new ideas and realms and terms and they're seeking it out and they're having life-changing experiences through listening to music and I'm just glad that I'm able to pay it forward because I'm tapping to me they're artists out there and bands and stuff they create this atmosphere for me to see God in a new light to see God in a deeper way to know love in a deeper way that's what it's about for me man so again and thank you guys for hanging out with us for this
