Geocaching is a big thing in Oregon and there are millions of geocaches all over the world. It is like a modern day treasure hunt. The kids buy GSP devices or follow a GPS APP on their phones that show the satellite coordinates of latitude and longitude positions of a cache on earth. People have left caches all over the earth and mark their coordinates and then others follow the coordinates leading them to little boxes or canisters. In a spiritual language, geotagging could be like scribing the Words of the Lord. It is like following a trail of buzz words from one place to the next. Buzz words are words that the Lord quickens to us with special meaning and significance to us. They are ike little beacons saying, “This is the way, walk in it!” Usually we hear or see those buzz words more than once. They can be repeated in a conversation, a bumper sticker, in scripture, on a sign, in an object, a story, and anyplace in life! They are common denominator words that buzz - they ring in our hearts as a true Word, even if we don’t know exactly what it means! We follow from buzz word to buzz word and suddenly we find the revelation! It makes sense! Just like Geocaching is finding the treasure at the end of the trail… Our spiritual goal is finding His revealed Word on a personal level. Finding God at the end of every trail is the very best treasure of all. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

TRANSCRIPT

Geocaching is a bigthing in Oregon andthere are millions ofgeocaches all overthe world.  It is like amodern day treasurehunt.  The kids buyGSP devices orfollow a GPS APP ontheir phones thatshow the satellitecoordinates oflatitude andlongitude positionsof a cache on earth.

People have left caches all over the earth and mark their coordinatesand then others follow the coordinates leading them to little boxes orcanisters.

In a spiritual language, geotagging could be like scribing the Words ofthe Lord.  It is like following a trail of buzz words from one place to thenext.  Buzz words are words that the Lord quickens to us with specialmeaning and significance to us.  They are ike little beacons saying,“This is the way, walk in it!”  Usually we hear or see those buzz wordsmore than once.  They can be repeated in a conversation, a bumpersticker, in scripture, on a sign, in an object, a story, and anyplace inlife!  They are common denominator words that buzz -  they ring in ourhearts as a true Word, even if we don’t know exactly what it means!We follow from buzz word to buzz word and suddenly we find therevelation!  It makes sense!

Just like Geocaching is finding the treasure at the end of the trail… Ourspiritual goal is finding His revealed Word on a personal level.  FindingGod at the end of every trail is the very best treasure of all.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart bealso.

Another example of this, is how theLord leads me through quickenedeye glances. It is like the hounddog following his nose, only Heleads me with His eye inside ofme.  I am so practiced at thisexperience (with confirmations)that I have learned to depend uponthis being an intimate part of mylife in the Lord and when I operatein that gift, it is a natural part of myfaith level, just as much as if I sawHim literally pointing to a signsaying, “This is My Word.”

The more confirmations onereceives of this type of life thestronger you will become inunderstanding the amazingmystery of Christ in us, the hopeof glory.  His Spirit lives inside ofus and is like a beacon calling usto find a trail of His Words.  Whenwe give Him our eyes to lookthrough, our ears to hear through,

all our senses… we learn to be ledby Him Who lives inside of us.

Colossians 1:26-27 Even themystery which has been hid fromages and from generations, butnow is made manifest to his saints:27 To whom God would makeknown what is the riches of theglory of this mystery among theGentiles; which is Christ in you,the hope of glory:

A quickened eye glance happenswhen I am thinking about Him,perhaps praying or pondering, andsuddenly my eye lands right on aparable or His thoughts about whatI am already thinking about!  Forinstance today I was alreadythinking about the word “tracking”the Lord’s Words.  And I took abreak and went to Facebook.  Myeye landed on a comment wheresomeone mentioned using a GPSnavigation device from Oregon.   Ilove how He lifts me up with suchprecious gifts saying, I AM here!Follow Me!  This is your sign thatyou are on My path!

Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shallhear a word behind you, saying,This is the way, walk you in it,when you turn to the right hand,and when you turn to the left.

LIKE A HOUND DOG

11/13/13  HEARD: I have something to show you, will you look?   Route.Hiker, the last frontier. Finding the spot.  Marking it as My Word.  Put iton the map.  Keeping a copy of it.  Onto the next Word.  See where ittakes you.  Take it to the top. It’s that simple.  There you have it ladiesand gentlemen.  It’s My Word.  Absolutely, it fits.

HEARD: Pray about whatever is on your heart.  It is dispatchedauthority. If you care, we care.  Grafted into My kingdom.

10/13/13 HEAR IT DO ITHEARD: If I could just hear You. Hunter.  Hound dog.  Parable.The kingdom of God.

COMMENTS: The Lord is leading us to the top of His holy mountainand showing us His path!  Learning to be sensitive to follow the HolySpirit is like a hound dog who sniffs out the scent of Jesus’ footsteps.A dog’s nose is his best gift, even before ears and eyes.  A dog doesn’thave to figure much out with his brain, or understand how his noseworks.  It is an instinctive part of how he is made.

When we are in tune (at one/ communing) with His Spirit, we instinctivelyare led by the Spirit.  It’s being sensitive to a spiritual language thatbypasses our carnal minds.

Romans 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, theyare the sons of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit ofbondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit ofadoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himselfbears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

1 Corinthians 2:10-16 But God has revealed them unto us by hisSpirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things ofGod. 11 For what man knows the things of a man, except the spiritof man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man,but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit ofthe world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the

things that arefreely given to us of God. 13 Which thingsalso we speak, not in the words whichman's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches;comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural manreceives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they arefoolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because theyare spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges allthings, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who has knownthe mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have themind of Christ.

If we are communing with Him while we are walking down an isle in agrocery store, He may have a comment about what we just looked atand when we apply it, we suddenly have a “wow” moment!  Hiscomments may only be one phrase, but when we apply it to what wejust looked at, and put it in spiritual context to matters He has alreadybeen speaking to us about, they become profound impacts.  This is notpossible if we are busycommuning with theworld, through the lustof our flesh, eyes andpride.  But if we have ahumble and teachablespirit and have died tothe world, our hearts arewith Him no matter whatwe are looking at.  It’slike the hound dog.Once he catches thescent of what he wantsto find, he can zoomthrough a myriad of trees and bushes and bypass them all!  He keepshis head to the ground and follows the path of the one scent thatmatters.

1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are inthe world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is notin him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and thelust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is ofthe world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: buthe that does the will of God abides forever.

Scripture tells us that where our treasure is, there shall our heart bealso.  In the Greek, this means is that what you invest your life in, whatyou commit to and/or purpose, then your thoughts and feelings (Gkword for heart) will follow to that same place.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart bealso.

That is a very powerful concept that our thoughts and emotions followwhere we invest our life.  I can remember Bob Jones saying that whenhe saw the line of people going to hell, they were actually encased inwhat they gave their lives to on earth.  Like one person was wrappedup in a dollar bill, etc.  It is so important that we give our commitment,our time and purposes on earth to the Lord Jesus Christ as our numberone love.  As we continue to invest our lives in developing ourrelationship with Him, then our thoughts and emotions will follow tothat place of partnering with Him to find His kingdom treasures.

PRAYER:  Lord teach us how to follow You and find the path of Yourpersonal Words to us!  Let our journeys be ones of finding daily mannahidden in plain sight.  May we find joy anew as we discover Your Wordsanew.  Align us to be obedient to Your Word Lord and then give us eyes,ears, noses and all the spiritual senses to instinctively find Your rhemaWords lovingly planted for us as handfuls of purpose.  Let our heartsbe aflame in hot pursuit to find Your Word in everyday life.  In JesusName.

Ruth 2:15-18 And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded hisyoung men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, andreproach her not: 16 And let fall also some of the handfuls on purposefor her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she hadgleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. 18 And she took it up,and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned:and she brought forth, and gave to her what she had reserved after shewas satisfied.

THE QUICKENED WORD SCHOOL(HOW GOD SPEAKS)

This teaching is a part of the ministry of The Quickened Word School on How GodSpeaks. In 1984 the Lord Jesus visited Sandy Warner and handed her a solid gold pen.One week later she began writing the book, 101 Ways God Speaks (and How to HearHim.) After years of seeking the Lord and modeling how He speaks,the school was birthed as a multiplied expansion of that book.

If you are hungry for more, you are welcome to go to the school anddownload other teachings as pdf files and also compiled books createdin this same magazine style and colorful format.

Throughout her years of scribing what she sees and hears, she hasshared many Words on her websites to demonstrate His ways. Thankyou for listening and may the Lord bless you!
