Waiting On God was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 29th of September 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
One of the things you must seek to have during your time of waiting on God is the voice of God. As you wait upon the LORD, you must seek to receive His Word/instruction; for that becomes your compass for the next phase of your life.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:13 (KJV)
From this Scripture we see three (3) things:
The guidance of the Holy Spirit
The voice of the Holy Spirit
The revelation of things to come
On Guidance
There are two purposes of the Holy Spirit when it comes to guidance:
To reveal to you the things in the Bible (the general guidance)
To reveal to you the things outside the Word of God (the specific guidance)
One of the places you don’t want to get to in life is the place where you can’t hear the voice of the Holy Spirit
The Specific Guidance of the Holy Spirit can come in four ways:
Through the revelation of the Holy Spirit (in your heart)
Through dreams
Through visions
Through angels
There are three ways the Holy Spirit can speak to you:
Inward Peace You don’t hear anything on the outside, but you just know this is what you have to do
Inward Witness There is a stronger witness, than inward peace, that this is what you are meant to do.
Inward Voice You hear an actual voice on your inside.
The design of God to keep you out of trouble is the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
When you learn to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, it will help you in giving.
Any time you don’t hear the Holy Spirit, you put yourself in a place where the devil can negotiate your harvest out of your hands.
There are two ways to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit
Fasting
Prayer
Fasting without prayer is hunger strike. Fasting will put down the outward man while prayer will build up the inner man.
Fasting is not just going without food. It is not just taking something out of your life, but putting something in your life (praise, the Word, etc.) Waiting On God helps you to be able to hear God. It helps you tune in to the frequency of heaven/God.
Things will remain as they are if you don’t gain spiritual strength. And you gain this strength through fasting and prayer.
Some Seasons You Need To Fast
When fear is reoccurring about the same issue
When your conscience is seared. (A seared conscience cannot hear the Holy Ghost. Continual disobedience will lead to a seared conscience)
When you observe a negative behavioural pattern in your life
When you are about to take a major decision. Every man must learn to hear God for his family
When you are sensing a great change
When you are sensing a new level
When you are at the point of transition
When your anointing is waning
When you are expecting a revival
Some Results Of Fasting
You will hear God more
You become more sensitive
You will heighten angelic intervention
You get enlargement
You get deliverance

Sandy is a cute lady whose mien portrays a beauty that is heavenly, however within her is a world of deception that is far from reality, characterized by fantasy and wishful thinking.
Her condition was made worse from endless reading of romantic novels and spending hours on romantic movies. Her brain has been filled with romantic junks, predicated on wrong notions that are completely anti-scripture.
Her issue is even made complicated because of a wonderful pulchritude she presents with no clues such junky thoughts are swimming within.
God’s word has the ability to dissolve every fantasy and reset the brain through a complete rewiring!
For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We can demolish every DECEPTIVE FANTASY that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.
2Co 10:3-5 (TPT)
We can demolish every deceptive fantasy! Whatever has been set up in defiance to the true knowledge of God can be demolished according to the word of God.
This is done by deliberate and conscious effort at READING, STUDYING AND MEDITATING on God’s word. Hey! The more you meditate on that word truthfully, the more you set up yourself for total freedom from every negative and toxic thought patterns that seek to hold you down!
I pray this morning that God will set you free from all toxic thoughts in Jesus name!

How much shouldhusbands and wives love themselves? They should be intoxicated with one another! That is how much!
We see this right in the scripture.
Son 1:2 (KJV) Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Take a look at the Message Translation:
Son 1:2 (GW) [Bride] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth. Your expressions of love are better than wine,
Love is to be expressed. And these expressions or actions are compared with wine and even much better.
What does wine do?
It gets you high and intoxicated, makes you feel happy and animated.
Here, the writer says, the expressions of your love is much better than wine.
As husbands and wives, you are to be intoxicated with each other. You should look forward to one another. You should constantly pray for one another from a genuine heart!
And you know what, you can only do this by focusing on each other.
Do not allow anybody to come in between the two of you. Do not allow a third party to sow any seed of discord into your love. Get drunk of each other.
The ploy of the devil is to cause irritations, quarrels, misunderstandings, animosity and the like. You must be sensitive to avoid all these in your marriage so that your marriage will not be hindered in any way.
Let God’s love rule in your marriage, and this will in turn regulate your actions and reactions and bring out the best in your marital relationship.
Demonstrate your love for one another through expression of kisses. Don’t let the wedding kiss be the last memory of a good kiss!
Get drunk with Holy Spirit, and get drunk with one another.
May God grant you more understanding in Jesus name!

God is love and he expresses that love by giving us his only son. And we should practice giving as the Lord, and giving as the Lord commands. How easy did you think that was?
Giving unto God should come from a place of sincerity of heart, so that our gifts will be accepted.
The Holy Spirit, speaking through Apostle Paul, told us a mystery about giving.
He said the first thing to do when you want to give is to decide in your heart.
2 Cor 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (ESV)
Many people give out of sentiments or emotions. But don’t do that. You should practice giving as the Lord, and giving as the Lord commands.
Give cheerfully and joyfully. Joyful giving is another wonderful way of giving. It comes from your heart, especially when you see the amount of happiness you put on the faces of others.
The bible tells us to give with joy at all times. Not with grumbling or anger. But with intense joy.
God gives us with joy. He created the earth with joy in His heart. The bible tells us that while creating the earth, He kept seeing the things he was creating as good.
He kept creating out of the joy in his heart from seeing the wonderful things He was creating.
Be like God today, give with joy. As you bless others with joy, God will equally bless you too with joy. Learn the art of giving as the Lord, and giving as the Lord commands.
God bless you.
Prayer: Lord, teach me to give with joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Action point: When next you want to give somebody something, do so with much joy.
Declaration: I am a cheerful giver. I give with joy.
