It's the foundation! Faith works by love and without faith it's impossible to please God. Ultimately we want to please God, Who is love! Love must be our motivation - Love for God and love for the people. You must love yourself also because we can only love people as much as we love ourselves.

His written Word, through the whole counsel of God (advice, godly wisdom from men and women of God), through our personal experiences with God.

I believe I'm a prophetic person because I'm in a prophetic house where we've been taught and trained in the prophetic.

I do. I now realize that I can't do anything without Him and I no longer need to try to do things on my own without God's help because that was never His intention.

The Word of God is very important. It's the only thing that helps me when I feel overwhelmed by life situations and surroundings - it brings me back to peace.

It tells me that there is nothing I can boast of as far as being saved. This whole plan of salvation was God's idea and He saved me for His own name's sake. Nothing I tried on my own to get "right" worked - it was ALL God!!! The scriptures tell us that God used Israel's blindness to give Gentiles (non-Jews) a chance to come into the fold. Israel shall be saved even though now they are enemies of the cross (concerning the gospel) until the full number of Gentiles come in, but concerning the election, they are still beloved for the fathers' sakes (the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob) concerning their seed.

Verse 29 means that God doesn't change His mind about His promises that He makes to His children. The Calling is His because He knows what He's called us to and purposed us to do and that is what we will give an account to Him for - how obedient we were to the call.

It's twofold - I must be committed to speaking only what God is telling me to speak (obedience) AND I must be obedient to do what God has spoken to me above what others are telling me (especially when what "they" are saying is contrary to what He has already told me). I know there can be some caveats, but basically I should Know God's voice for myself to safeguard against being led astray.

I have been in the prophetic classes at Liberty, but I know I need to be in the prophetic atmosphere more consistently to develop my spirit.

I have some natural degrees and I have been ordained as an Evangelist at Liberty.

I don't even know how to answer this question because what am I comparing it to? I could compare myself to people, which I am being delivered from and say I'm a 3, 4 or 5. I could compare myself to my capacity and say I'm a 10. But truthfully right now, it's not very good but I want to do better. I think God is changing it right now because I like consistency and a routine but something is happening right now. I still love to pray, still know it's important, but need to deal with the distractions, etc.

I don't know.

I don't know.

The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Knowledge, the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.

Opinions and being judgmental.

My purpose in God is all wrapped up in His Will for me and His heart towards me.
