Kurt Steele Hears from God

I start my day with a simple prayer, "speak to me Lord..." He has so much to say. He brought me to the close of the book of Numbers where I heard Him say, "Kurt Steele, step into my glorious promise land, take it in My Name, live in My Victory, walk one day at a time, trust Me, live righteously, destroy and abolish any idols, and take possession of the land."

Now as I ponder this I ask, "what land?" God says, "America" God seems to indicate that there is victory and hope for revival in America. We are to take it in the name of Jesus. God wants to give us a blessed season of revival if His people hear His voice and "take it" in prayer. We need to take our schools, our companies, our families, our churches and claimvictory by faith.

God will drive out the enemy. He will defeat the foes. He will infuse His glorious victory. He will assure the path in His power for the ultimate and only goal, His glory. I get the sense of God's glorious light shining through the darkness with blazing glory. The manifest presence of shekinah glory coming down from heaven. We fall down because of itsm brilliance and power. There is not doubt that God's power and glory have broken down and broken through. By faith Lord, I clam this victory.

Kurt Steele A Glorious Failure

I am watching and praying tonight. I see His glory wherever I look. The bible is full of stories of men and women who have miserably faled but glpriously have conquered sin, death, pain, and falure by God's grace to the praise of the glory of His grace. It is all for His glory. How great is our God. He is the name above all name. My victory, my forgiveness, my new life, my hope, my peace...all for His pleasure and for His glory. How great is our God. I stand complete in Him for His glory. I am righteous because of his death and resurrection for His glory. I reign with Him in the heavenlies for His glory. I worship Him for His glory. I am in a warfare for His glory. I am healed for His glory. He is worthy. His name is above all names. My heart sings....HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD...I am worsipping Him and I can not stop...He is worthy...it is all about His glory...I see revival happening...my prayer is send Your glory...THERE IS POWER, DELIVERANCE, FREEDOM in Your Glory...

I lay hold of You God...i will not let go until you come like the refreshing rain in revival and power...till we all lay down everything at the cross...until we are broken at the cross...

Kurt Steele God Speaks from His Word

The Lord has been speaking to me about intimacy with Him. God's word is filled with huge instruction about meditating on His truth. The words of encouragement from Paul to Timothy to be .consantly nourished on the words of the faith and sound doctrine" hits home in my heart. What am I nourished with? Food, water, TV, good books? Why am I not hungering and thirsting after righteousness? Why am I not constantly nourished on words of the faith and sound doctrine?

Kurt Steele "THE ACCEPTED ONE"

Kurt Steele Memory Motivation

Memorization and meditation on God's Word purifies your thought patterns. I am beginning to dreams from God. The word purifies our thoughts and God fills your dreams with his voice. I am seeing beautiful scenes and god is bringing people to mind in my dreams which when I wake up, I pray for. God truly watches over my sleep.

Kurt Steele Meditating on Listening to God

I received this on the Elijah List today from Kim Clement and it blessed me:



KIM CLEMENT:"GOD IS SEARCHING FOR MAN--More than the other way around"
When we understand that God is in search of man (us), more so than man in search of God, our spiritual experience is greatly enhanced. What does this mean in terms of communication? Over and over we try to hear God's voice to find direction in our lives, and we spend countless hours in search of Him, only to find out that He was always close-by, but because we didn't recognize Him, we ran. We consider God mysterious and almost unattainable, but the great mystery is that God is actually in search of you.

Faith Draws God

So how do I draw His attention? How will He know where I am, and what are the ingredients needed to assist Him in "finding" me? People would be offended at the thought of God "trying" to find them. Is He blind, deaf or unable to know His own created being? We'll find out today what we need to do to make ourselves clearly visible to God.

Throughout Biblical history, we find that God "reveals" Himself to man. God continuously visited Abraham, and the obvious ingredient that drew God to him, was FAITH. Think about friendship for a minute. Would you go uninvited to someone's home? Wouldn't you feel more comfortable knowing that they in fact wanted you there at a specific time, and took the time to ask you over? How do we invite God? It's faith in praise, prayer, sacrifice, obedience and other unselfish acts that invite God.

The key, however, is knowing how to respond to revelation, because God reveals Himself more than He shows Himself; there is a difference. To reveal means "to unveil something that was at first intended to be private, to divulge the meaning of making known something previously concealed or secret."

In other words, when prophetic revelation takes place, your mind has never experienced it before, therefore, you have entered into something strange and new. With this in mind, you have choices to make--to reject or accept it. Most people operate by fear and reject the unknown. It takes perception and faith to embrace something that you sense is right, but intellectually you are unsure of.

When God created Adam and Eve, He left them in the Garden to begin the journey for mankind. During that period, their understanding of God went from what they had experienced, to what they had heard from a complete stranger--the serpent satan. Misrepresenting God, the serpent said to them, "God knows that in the day you eat of the fruit, your eyes will be opened, and you will BE LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5). So his proposition was that they could "be like God," having more power due to their new perception.

Unfortunately, their new sight blinded them to God and opened their eyes to themselves. God came to visit them one day and was rudely interrupted by a retreating Adam. No longer was God welcome, because Adam could only see one thing--that he was naked and afraid of God. His perception of himself was lowered to, "I heard your voice...and I was afraid because I was naked" (Genesis 3:10). He saw himself naked. Good God, I don't blame him! God searched for Adam; Adam did not search for God.

God, in the form of man here on earth, Jesus Christ, searched for man. He found His disciples and called them to Himself and yet Philip tells Nathaniel, "We have found the Messiah" (John 1:41). No. REVELATION IS NOT AN ACT OF MAN SEEKING GOD, BUT OF HIS BEING SOUGHT AFTER--AN ACT IN GOD'S SEARCH FOR MAN. Israel's history originated with the initiative of God, not the efforts of man. Yet Jacob wrestled with God, sending Him an invitation to come to his house and experience him. God responded by giving Jacob the honorable and noble name, Israel, for you have struggled with God and with men and have PREVAILED! Jacob did not search for God; he struggled with God.

We all struggle with God, because we are so determined to know more about Him so that we can have more power; when we should rather just experience God and enjoy Him. God only wants to know more about us so that we can be enriched and blessed as He experiences us. God reveals to Jacob his true name, Israel, because that is what God experienced when He found the true person in Jacob. However, when Jacob pleads to God, "Tell me Your name, I pray," God replies, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" (Genesis 32:29). I find this interesting because it's almost like God is challenging Jacob about his motive in finding out God's name.

Trials Produce Revelation

Revelation should not be rejected because of it being incomprehensible. That which is incomprehensible must not be considered UNREAL. Prophetic revelation is not merely an act of experience, but an act of being experienced, overwhelmed and taken over by Him. It is impossible to believe that trials and troubles are a waste of time and worth nothing. Now that I have been through three decades of walking with God, I am convinced that trials and troubles are only revelations in disguise, because I have discovered glorious truths about myself that eventually became part of my makeup and my expression. Character has been built with strength and virtue, which only paints my soul with delightful colors.

Trials are part of our lot; they were predestinated for us in Christ's last legacy. He has ordained their season and their place, their intensity and the effect they shall have upon us. Good men must never expect to escape troubles, for if they do, they will be disappointed; none of our predecessors have been without them. Note the patience of Job and remember Abraham, for he had his trials, and by his faith under them, he was rewarded as the "Father of the Faithful." Note the biographies of all the patriarchs, prophets, apostles and martyrs, and you will discover that none of those whom God made vessels of mercy escaped the fire of affliction.

I have been through a season of trial and I'm excited to find out what God found and experienced in me during this period. As human beings, we value pleasure far above friction and stress. I hate anxiety. It is the cause of so much unnecessary stress and ungodliness. The Bible teaches us to be anxious for nothing. Anxiety is a thief. It robs you of your dignity and positions you so that you are constantly on the lookout for an alternative to God.

Napoleon Hill once wrote, "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."

Be encouraged, for although we have been through much as a people, a royal priesthood and a chosen generation. The BEST IS YET TO COME!

This is my prayer of blessing for you:

"God, I pray, let their ships bring home continually rich freights. Let the winds and waves appear to be their servants to bear their vessels across the bosom of the mighty deep. Let their hands yield abundantly. Let the weather be propitious to their crops. Let uninterrupted success attend them. Let them stand among men as successful merchants.

Allow them with braced nerve and brilliant eye to march through the world and live happily. Give them buoyant spirits. Let them have a song on their lips. Let their eyes ever be sparkling with joy, and last but not least, let Christ emerge out of every interruption, storm, lack or attack; and if they stand, and stand they should, let it be as if on a pinnacle or like a man asleep on a mast, realizing that each moment, we should be in jeopardy."

Jesus slept on a boat that according to the disciples was "going under." How could the boat "go under" when He, Christ, was in fact asleep under the boat?

Man is an Experience of God

God is searching for you to enjoy and experience. It is not God who is an experience of man; it is man who is an experience of God. Now let your faith, your ACT of faith, invite Him, draw Him, and attract Him to your house, and you will find the experience quite gratifying.

Giving to God is one of the grandest experiences that I know. Recently in a meeting, I was to receive the offering in a church, for my ministry. We had been there three nights and it was in a poor neighborhood. We had financial requirements ourselves and we were not in the position to help the church financially, so when I heard a prodding voice declaring to me, "Give the entire three nights offerings to the church," I was a little taken aback. I went ahead and made the announcement to the pastor and the entire church erupted. He grabbed the microphone and told the people that they have nothing left and they were considering closing their school because of lack of funds.

Quite honestly, I wasn't even sure how much the offering amounted to, but in the meeting, there was a wealthy businessman, who upon hearing my announcement, decided to add to the offering an enormous check, which literally cleared up the church's debt. I felt that I had given God a good experience by obeying Him and placing myself totally in His hands. My obedience not only helped the church but it started a domino effect, which brought in various amounts from other businesses. Kindly consider us in your offering this month as we plow forward and touch the lives of millions of people. Give God a good experience by obeying His voice.

Because He Lives...

Have you ever sat and pondered that truth. What does that mean? Because He lives, we can face anything in this life. Because He Lives, we live forever. Because He lives, we have victory over sin. Because He lives, we have victory over hell. Because He lives, we can face uncertainity. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because He lives, I know that He holds the future. Because He lives, we will enjoy Him forever. Because He lives, we will learn more of Him all the days of eternity and not scratch the surface.

He is the Resurrection and the Life...
He is the Bread of Life....
He is the way, the truth, and THE LIFE...

The -Washing of the Word

As I memorize and meditate on God's word, my sense of my sinfulness becomes my reality and the power of His grace becomes more real and powerful. My vision and dreams become more clear and vivid from His heart.

I see us all kneeling at the feet of Jesus and crying, "Worthy is the Lamb". Not my own religious effort but His grace and His grace alone.

Let's rid ourselves of the labels and self righteousness and cling hand in hand with our brothers and sisters around the cross of Christ where noone is better than the other.

Grace, grace, God's wondrous grace. The wonderful, matchless grace of God. No worthy men just sinners and failures glorying in His love. All clothed in His righteousness not our performance, but His perfect performance. We bring our filthy rags and he exchanges them with robes pure white. As I am reminded of this song:

The windows of heaven are open
His blessings are flowing tonight
There is joy, joy, joy in my heart
Since Jesus made everything right.

I gave Him my old outer garments
He gave me a robe of pure white
I feasting on manna from heaven
And that's why i am happy tonight

Revival Meditations

"Wherever the Church is aroused and the world's wickedness
arrested, somebody has been praying." - A. T. Pierson

"How terrible is the cost of robbing God of time for prayer. When
we rob God of time for quiet, we are robbing Him of ourselves. It is
only in the quiet that we can really know Him and know ourselves,
and be sure that we give ourselves back to Him. Oh, for God's
sake, do not risk keeping the windows of Heaven closed by
robbing God of time." - Gordon M. Guinness

"The missionary church is a praying church. The history of
missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of
the world's evangelization hinges on prayer. Are thousands of
missionaries and tens of thousands of native workers needed?
'Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He send forth
laborers into His harvest.'" - John R. Mott

"Why does the Church stay indoors? They have a theology that
has dwindled into a philosophy, in which there is no thrill of faith,
no terror of doom and no concern for souls. Unbelief has put out
the fires of passion, and worldliness garlands the altar of sacrifice
with the tawdry glitter of unreality. The Holy Ghost cannot conquer
the world with unbelief, nor can He save the world with a worldly
Church. He calls for a crusade, a campaign, and an adventure of
saving passion. For this enterprise He wants a separated,
sanctified and sacrificial people." - Samuel Chadwick

"We give ourselves to prayer. We preach a Gospel that saves to
the uttermost, and witness to its power. We do not argue about
worldliness; we witness. We do not discuss philosophy; we
preach the Gospel. We do not speculate about the destiny of
sinners; we pluck them as brands from the burning. We ask no
man's patronage. We beg no man's money. We fear no man's
frown.Let no man join us who is afraid, and we want none but
those who are saved, sanctified and aflame with the fire of the
Holy Ghost." - Samuel Chadwick

"The Church gives more time, thought, and money to recreation
and sport than to prayer." - Samuel Chadwick

"The whole history of the Church is one long story of this tendency
to settle down on this earth and to become conformed to this
world, to find acceptance and popularity here and to eliminate the
element of conflict and of pilgrimage. That is the trend and the
tendency of everything. Therefore outwardly, as well as inwardly,
pioneering is a costly thing." - T. Austin Sparks

"It is a costly and a suffering thing to come up against the
religious system that has ' settled down ' here. It is far more
costly than coming up against the naked world itself. The religious
system can be more ruthless and cruel and bitter; it can be
actuated by all those mean things, contemptible things, prejudices
and suspicious things that you will not even find in decent people
in the world. It is costly to go on to the heavenlies, it is painful; but
it is the way of the pioneer, and it has to be settled that that is
how it is." - T. Austin Sparks

"'Go ye' is as much a part of Christ's Gospel as 'Come unto Me.'
You are not even a Christian until you have honestly faced your
responsibility in regard to the carrying of the Gospel to the ends of
the earth. What is your part in that great task?" - J. Stuart Holden

"There are great marvels in the world to-day. There is the marvel of
the disobedient Church, which hugs to itself Christian privileges
and neglects Christian obligations." - J. Stuart Holden

"It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all
the pieces." -Samuel Chadwick

"It is a solemn thing to find oneself drawn out in prayer which
knows no relief till the soul it is burdened with is born. It is no less
solemn afterwards, until Christ is formed in them." - Amy Carmichael

"The evangelization of the world in this generation depends first of
all upon a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for men; deeper,
far, than the need for money; aye, deep down at the bottom of our
spiritless life is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing,
world-wide prayer." - Robert E. Speer

"A generation which wishes for a religion without tears must find it
difficult to adjust its beliefs to the teaching of the New Testament
and of the facts of life." - W. R. Inge

Outrageous Claims of Scripture

Well, I want to bless you with one of my brothers in Christ. Philip Walker, founder of www.scripturememorychallenge.org, has preached a sermon beyond sermons. We should all have this loaded on our ipods or mp3 players. I have made it available on my server just click here and download.

This sermon is what I have been learning from Chuck Mueller this year at New Hope Church and will move your life. Do we really believe Scripture or do we "say" we believe Scripture? How would you live if you really believed the outrageous claims of Scripture?

Listen and Enjoy...

Thanks Philip for allowing me to share this with my audience.

My dear brother Philip Walker

I want all of you to meet my special brother, Philip Walker. He is amazing and is used by God to inspire students to love the Word of God. We are memorizing the New Testament together. His website is www.scripturememorycallenge.org Go out and check it out. I will be posting a message preached by him on my podcast tonight. Please go out and listen to it.

Psalm 91:9-10

"If you make your home in Me, then no evil will come your way..." Psalm 91:10

What a promise from God's word. I read this today and thought...am I making my home in Him...is He the essence of my life...what a powerful meditation! I think of the comman phrase we say, "I am at home with him..." Are we "at home", familar, comfortable, content with Jehovah? A key question to meditate on today...our intimacy with God.

I was at a training class with Tricia Rhodes from New Hope Church and she said, "Imagine that you are sitting accross from Christ physically, what would you ask Him? Well, do you realize that He is here NOW and wants to talk?" Think about the truth of Hebrews 10 that we can draw near to the holy of holies anywhere, anytime and find grace.

How much are we drawing near to Him?

How much are we including Him?

How much are we asking Him?

The King of Kings awaits...have you made a home in Him?

Kurt Steele God's Answer to Me About Heroes

Kurt, your strength comes from me. When you are up against the ropes is when I move. Think of the Beattitudes...Blessed are the poor in spirit, Blessed are those who mourn, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst. Desperation leads to divine intervention. Poverty leads to kingdom riches. Thirst leads to satisfaction. The more you get desperate, the more My strength takes over. Press into neediness, Kurt. Lean on Me and trust Me. Allow me to move the mountains in your life and calm the seas of your soul.

Kurt Steele Memorize and Meditate As You Go

I am sitting on a bench in a dowtown area. I am doing my review on Saturday. It takes be an average of 3 minutes per epistle Chapter to review...what I love is that there is so much lull time in life: sitting in waiting rooms, walking somewhere, driving in a car, or sitting on a bench. I found that my thoughts have a tendancy of wondering raher than focusing on the Lord. Utilizng my lull times to review makes a huge difference. I have myself recorded reciting the chapters so I can put the headphones on andlisten to scripture on my ipod. It is amazing how great that works. I am pressing on in my pursuit of memorizing the New Testament. Why dont you join me? The lord really speaks when you memorize and meditate. I share my insights on my podcast at http://kurtsteelemeditation.podbean.com

Kurt Steele Cast Your Burdens

This morning I was awoke by my burdens and was attacked by Satan. I have blown it in my life and have walked for many years in deep rebellion against the Lord. This is the former Kurt Steele. BUT Satan reminds me of the past over and over again. This morning I awoke and imediately went to prayer and claimed the blood of Jesus Christ. God brought me to Psalm 55:22 which says, "Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you..." It does not say cast your cares on a friend, or on a counselor...BUT take it to the Wonderful Counselor...the Lord...cast them before Him...

Isaiah 35:4 says, "Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; the recompense of God will come, BUT HE WILL SAVE YOU."

I Peter 5:7 says, "Casting all you anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."

God not only wants us to cast our burdens, but He really cares. He knows our struggles...He knows what lonliness is all about...He knows what suffering is...AND He cares.

Come to the water and you will never thirst again...

Come to the Saviour and you will be saved....

Come to the fountain and drink and live forever...

Come to the Lord and cast all your burdens at His feet...

The Lord spoke to me, "Don't pick it up anymore Kurt..."

My brethren, that is easier said then done, isn't it?

Kurt Steele Memorization Tips

Scripture memory is so powerful and many people do not know about the potential thay have to memorize scripture. One tip is recording scripture and you can do this on your PC or Laptop. There is recording software that is freeware.

One of the best tools is Audacity at http://www.audacity.com and then save as an mp3 format and load into your ipod or mp3 player.

Listening to it over and over again will drill it into your brain.

I am asked...how many times do I need to recite a verse or passage before it is embededed into my long term memory?

Look at this description from Wikipedia...

Long-term memory (LTM) is memory, stored as meaning, that can last as little as a few days or as long as decades. It differs structurally and functionally from working memory or short-term memory, which ostensibly stores items for only around 30 seconds. Biologically, short-term memory is a temporary potentiation of neural connections that can become long-term memory through the process of rehearsal and meaningful association. The proposed mechanism by which short-term memories move into LTM storage is via long-term potentiation, which leads to a physical change in the structure of neurons. Notably, the time scale involved at each level of memory processing remains under investigation.
As long-term memory is subject to fading in the natural forgetting process, several recalls/retrievals of memory may be needed for long-term memories to last for years, dependent also on the depth of processing. Individual retrievals can take place in increasing intervals in accordance with the principle of spaced repetition. This can happen quite naturally through reflection or deliberate recall (a.k.a. recapitulation or recollection), often dependent on the perceived importance of the material.

Here is the best principles that I found:

http://www.accelerated-learning-online.com/process/reinforce.asp

1. The reinforce step involves three activities. These are applying the techniques, using repetition, and then continuing with refresh reviews. Think of repetition as building your brain networks, and refresh reviews as preserving them for the long term. Usually you will have an exam or test to complete as part of a course, so this may be a good point to split these tasks. You may choose any point you like.

2. Use repetition to reinforce your knowledge. As you can see (for this example), doing one session a day is twice as effective as one session a week. One session a day is more than three times as effective as one session a fortnight. Keep in mind the overall number of repetitions over the four weeks is the same - sixty repetitions.

3. We typically forget eighty percent of new information within the first twenty-four hours of the first lesson. With repetition and review though, we can eventually achieve significant recall. Regularly reviewing your material improves your overall recall of material as time progresses. Alternatively, if you do not use what you have learned, you will start to lose it.

Kurt Steele Amazing Word from God

I am reciting scripture with my accountabilty partner and we are hearing God's word coming out of each of our hearts. The word is alive and active. I am seeing amazing results as I meditate on His word. Results include: more power and victory over sin, a more powerful filter over the lures of the world, flesh and the devil, a huge and growing sensitivity to sin, and amazing depth in prayer as I pray God's word and not Kurt's word. I have a heightened dependancy on the Lord. My podcast is from the insights while I meditate at http://kurtsteelemeditation.podbean.com

I am excited at what God is showing through meditation.

Kurt Steele Holding to His Nail Scarred Hands

One more river to cross

One more mountain to climb

One more valley that I gotta go through

Leavin my troubles behind

One more battle with the devil

And I know he'll understand

I am going through with Jesus, Hallelujah

Holding to His nail scarred hands

What a truth from this southern gospel classic! What hope I have...

Because of the finished work on the cross

Meditate on this truth

This is from I Timothy when Paul challenges us,

"Fight the good fight, holding to faith and a good conscience..."

Let's cling and hold on to Jesus...

Kurt Steele The Mystery of the Faith

In Chapter 3 of I Timothy, Paul writes the qualifications for overseers and deacons. In the midst of the list, deacons are held to not having an attitude which is fond of sordid gain BUT holding fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. At the end of the chapter, Paul refers to the mystery of godliness which is the person of Jesus Christ. My eyes were suddenly opened while meditating on this powerful book. Leaders of the church are to hold fast to the person and finished work of Christ and that is the only way that the characterisics of godliness that are the standard in this chapter cab be lived out, cling to Christ...holding on the amazing mystery of the faith.

Kurt Steele Memory Challenge

Today was my first accountability meeting with my bible memory partner, Philip Walker from the East Coast. We met on the internet when I found his site. His website is http://www.scripturememorychallenge.org

What a ministry! Please join us for the challenge to master the scriptures.

Kurt Steele Still Amazed

The Song in the Musical at Abundant Fellowship that so touched my heart is titled, "I Stand in Awe". The lyrics are all about God changing US in His presence:

I stand in awe, so amazed
Totally changed by Your presence forever
Every time I look into Your eyesI see a glimpse of what I’ve always wanted to be
Let me be changed, let me be changed in Your presence

May we wait on Him and allow Him to change us.

In His presence, there is NO condemnation
In His presence, there is NO fear
In His presence, there is No judgement

After going through so much in the past year, the slandor and malice and condemnation of scam.com, I ran to the Lord where there was NO CONDEMNATION.

After death threats and amazing unfair accusations, I saw God's love and grace.

After being reminded and mocked for my sins and many that were lies, I found Jesus Christ who crushes the Accuser (Satan)

I found that Jesus forgives and removes sin from us as far as the east is from the west.

I found a new name in Christ since so many have tried to ruin my name on the internet. My new name is "accepted one"

Kurt Steele Contemplates and Meditates on the Cross

What is the cross? It was a brutal execution method that was bloody and inflicted long and painful suffering. The cross became the symbol of Christianity because it is the vehicle that brought salvation and redemption of sins through Jesus Christ. The cross was also the target of God's wrath against sin as Jesus took the sins of the world on His shoulders. This doctrine is propitiation which in the greek language means "satisfaction" because Jesus' satisfied the wrath and judgement of God with his death on the cross. Now all that written to say this, "Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe..."

This is grace. This is mercy. This is love. THE CROSS.!!!!

Memorization of God's word is hiding God's word in my heart, mastering the very words of scripture.

Meditaion is the consant churning and powerful contemplation of the wor of God.

Both are necessary disciplines to deeply impact our lives.

Kurt Steele - Today in meditation God spoke to me

Deuteronomy 8:11-20 blows my mind. I meditated on it because I have so much to restore and I am recovering from a stroke and I am weak. The Lord spoke to me in a powerful way tha amazes me. It has always been Kurt Steele that sucks it up and tries harder. In this passage, it clearly states that Kurt Steele is not to forget the Lord my God. Don't for get Kurt...do not forget by doing it your way and by not keeping my commandments. Do you see?

Forgetting=pride...Forgetting=Disobedience...bottomline...Forgetting=Independance

God then reminds them...

In verses 14-16:

Who brought you out from slavery (Egypt)

He led you through the great and terrible wilderness...

With its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was NO water...

He brought water for you out of the rock of flint...

In the wilderness He fed you manna...

WHY???? Read verse 16--that He might humble you and that He might test you to do good for you in the end.

Read verse 17---OTHERWISE, you may say in your heart, 'My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth'

God is so content to make you perfectly weak so that He is perfectly strong. WOW!

God gets more glory and we do NOT forget Him when we are CONTENT to be perfectly weak.

Keep reading...remember God (v 18)...it is He who is giving you power to make wealth...

God and God alone.

How freeing that it is not my brains, wisdom or power to restore me...it is only God and God alone for His glory and honor.

Amen!!!!!

Kurt Steele - Memorizing Partner

I want to talk about partnership in memorization of God's Word. I have partnered with a friend on the internet who is committed to mastery of scriptures. He is the founder of www.scripturememorychallenge.org . I have told him about my pilgrimage in restoration and we are meeting on a weekly basis to drive towards the memorization of the entire New Testament. I have to tell you that isolation is no place for believers. Islands lead to defeat, community leads to freedom. Let's master the scripture together not under law but under grace. Master the words of our Father who is in heaven.

Kurt Steele - The power of the word of God

Psalm 119 is a chapter in the Psalms that speaks if the preciousness and power of God's word. I love this subject and I have to say that a dear friend of mine, Chuck, has caused me to fall in love with the word of God all the more. He speaks of the word with such reverence and awe. He gets so excited about the dep truths in the Bible that he discovers. I am going through the bible now and reading every word and every day I ask God, "What do you have to speak to me from the wonderful words of life, the Holy Scripture?" I amazed how God meets me and speaks. I am using a four color pen and each color represents something in the margin of my bible. Red is for the words God speaks something directly to me. Blue are my prayers to Him. Green is life application for me to live. Black is som insight or cross reference. What an adventure...but now I am memorizing as much as I can. I am trying to occupy all of my spare time to attempt to master the Scriptures by memory. What an exciting adventure.

Psalm 119 tells us that the word of God:

Restores us
Revives us
Keeps us from sin
Guides us
Instructs us
Corrects us
Lights our way

We must master the Word of God. Thanks Chuck for pointing me back into God's holy word.

Kurt Steele - Your word I have hid in my heart

I ponder today on the wondrous word of God. Paul said of Timothy, "constantly nourished on the word of faith and sound doctirne which you have been following." We must be nourished on God's word and hide His word in our heart. The result is that we will NOT sin. Meditaing and memorizing God's word is so powerful to renew your mind and replace lies with truth.

Today's Bible Memory System

I will be posting the ultimate bible memory system. This system I utilize each day using it faithfully as a guide for learning and review.

Memorize the New Testament is the Goal

The scriptures are wonderful words of life and have an amazing impact on my life as I hide God's Holy Word in my heart and mind. The impact is purity and powerful application of the word to my life. As I meditate in God's word, truths jump out at me.
