Interview with Dave and Patty Lage from Holy Spirit Led Ministries

 Unleashing the Power of God: An Inspiring Interview with Dave and Patty Lage

Walking in the Miraculous

As a believer passionate about the supernatural power of God, I'm always on the lookout for those who are truly walking in the miraculous. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to interview Dave and Patty Lage from Holy Spirit Led Ministries. Their testimony and experiences left me in awe of God's power and eager to share their story with you.

The Birth of a Healing Ministry:

Dave's journey into the supernatural began early in life. He recounts, "I have a praying grandmother, and prophets say that I had the Holy Ghost before I was born." At just two years old, Dave had a near-death experience where he saw Jesus. This early encounter set the stage for a life filled with miraculous healings and supernatural experiences.

From a young age, Dave witnessed and participated in healings. He shares, "When I was four years old, I went and laid hands on my mom, and I got a sister exactly five years younger." This simple act of childlike faith resulted in his mother conceiving after being told she couldn't have more children.

Walking in the Supernatural:

What struck me most about Dave and Patty is their unwavering confidence in God's power. They don't wait for a special "leading" to pray for people – they simply see a need and meet it. Dave explains, "If you see somebody with a cane, do you have to wait for God to tell you to go lay hands on him, or can you go without Him telling you?"

This approach has led to countless healings and miracles. They've seen everything from deaf ears opening to metal implants disappearing from bodies. One particularly powerful testimony involved a young girl who had stopped breathing at a state fair. Patty recalls, "I just scooped her up in my lap... I'm just praying in tongues and speaking life into her, and she started breathing again."

Activating Believers:

One of the most inspiring aspects of Dave and Patty's ministry is their focus on activating other believers to walk in the supernatural. They don't just perform miracles themselves – they equip others to do the same. Patty shares, "We want to disciple people... We want to get people saved and healed and set free."

Their approach is simple yet powerful. At one event in Canada, Patty had believers lay hands on those needing healing. She instructed them to say, "In the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, I speak life." The results were astounding, with many people experiencing instant healing.

Biblical References and Teachings:

Throughout our conversation, Dave and Patty continually referenced Scripture to support their ministry. They often quoted Jesus' words from Mark 16:17-18: "These signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons... they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

They also emphasized the importance of walking by faith, not by sight. Dave explained, "If you stay in the spirit, you always win. Your weapons are not carnal; they are spiritual." This aligns perfectly with Paul's teachings in 2 Corinthians 10:4.

Personal Reflections:

Interviewing Dave and Patty was a truly transformative experience for me. Their childlike faith and bold approach to ministry challenged me to step out in faith more often. I found myself deeply moved by their testimonies and the tangible presence of God that seemed to flow through them even during our online interview.

Their ministry reminds me of the early church in Acts, where signs and wonders were commonplace. It's a powerful reminder that the same Holy Spirit who empowered the apostles is available to all believers today.

Conclusion and Call to Action:

If you're hungry to see more of God's power in your life and ministry, I encourage you to check out Holy Spirit Led Ministries. Visit their website at HSLM.us or find them on Facebook to learn more about their upcoming events and training sessions.

Let's not settle for a powerless gospel. Instead, let's step out in faith, expecting God to move in miraculous ways. As Dave and Patty have shown, when we make ourselves available, God can use us to bring His kingdom to earth in powerful and tangible ways.

Seeking God's Will: A Journey of Spiritual Growth and Revelation

Rediscovering God's Will in Nature's Beauty

As I stepped out for my morning prayer walk, the warm sun greeted me, casting its golden rays upon the trees. In that moment, I was struck by the sheer beauty of God's creation. It reminded me of a profound truth: no temporary pleasure of this world can compare to the awe-inspiring wonder of God's handiwork. This realization set the tone for a spiritual journey that would lead me to some powerful insights about seeking God's will.

The Evolution of My Spiritual Walk

From Childhood Faith to Adult Revelation

My journey with prayer and seeking God's will began in my childhood. I vividly remember kneeling beside my bed with my father, praying for others and truly believing we were communicating with God. This early foundation laid the groundwork for a lifelong relationship with the Divine.

As I grew older, my faith journey took many twists and turns. There were times of doubt and backsliding, but even in those moments, I found myself unconsciously reaching out to God. It wasn't until 1995 that I experienced a profound reconnection with my faith, diving headfirst back into a life of prayer and spiritual seeking.

The Power of Prayer Walks

One practice that has been constant throughout my spiritual journey is the prayer walk. There's something powerful about combining physical movement with spiritual reflection. Whether it was strolling along the beaches of Los Angeles or wandering through my current neighborhood, these walks have become a cornerstone of my relationship with God.

The Word: Our Bridge to the Father

As my relationship with God deepened, I began to understand the crucial role of Scripture in our spiritual lives. Jesus tells us that "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). This truth led me to a profound realization: our connection to the Father is intrinsically linked to our relationship with the Word.

The New Age Misconception

Many New Age philosophies attempt to reach the Divine through spiritual experiences alone. However, Jesus clearly stated, "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). As believers, we understand that Jesus is the Word made flesh. Therefore, to truly connect with the Father, we must cultivate an intimate relationship with Scripture.

This understanding sets Christianity apart from other spiritual practices. While supernatural experiences can be powerful, they must be grounded in the truth of God's Word to lead us to authentic communion with the Father.

Seeking God's Will: A Divine Mandate

During my recent prayer walk, I was struck by a powerful revelation about the nature of seeking God's will. As I reflected on the Lord's Prayer, particularly the line "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10), I realized something profound: God's will for us is to actively seek His will.

Moving Beyond Self-Centered Prayer

Too often, our prayers can become self-centered, focused solely on what God can do for us. While bringing our needs to God is important, we're called to a higher purpose. We're meant to be conduits of God's will on earth, manifesting His kingdom in our daily lives.

This revelation challenged me to shift my prayer focus. Instead of constantly asking, "Lord, what can you do for me?" I began to ask, "Lord, what is Your will? How can I be a part of manifesting Your kingdom on earth?"

Love Your Neighbor Through Prayer

Another aspect of seeking God's will involves how we pray for others. Recently, I've been convicted about the casual nature of many of our prayers for others. If we truly love our neighbors as ourselves, shouldn't we pray for them with the same fervor and dedication we would for our own family members?

This realization has transformed how I approach intercessory prayer. Now, when I see a prayer request on social media or hear of a need in my community, I strive to pray with the same intensity and persistence I would if it were my own child or sibling in need.

The Supernatural Realm of God's Will

As we seek God's will, we must remember that we serve a supernatural God. My own journey has been filled with divine encounters and miraculous experiences, which I've detailed in my book "Open Your Eyes: My Supernatural Journey."

Embracing the Miraculous

I'm excited to share that I'll be interviewing Dave and Patty Loggie from Holy Spirit-led Ministries on my platform soon. Their ministry is a powerful testament to the healing and supernatural lifestyle that's available to believers today. Through their teachings, I've been reminded of biblical truths that I had overlooked, further expanding my understanding of God's will and power.

Their ministry, along with others like John G. Lake Ministries and the work of Charles and Frances Hunter, demonstrates that Jesus still heals today. From legs being lengthened to metal implants disappearing, these modern-day miracles serve as a powerful reminder that seeking God's will often leads us into the realm of the supernatural.

Conclusion: A Call to Seek His Will

As I conclude this reflection, I want to challenge you, dear reader, to join me in actively seeking God's will. Let's move beyond self-centered prayers and dive deep into the heart of our Father. Here are some practical steps you can take:

1. Engage in regular prayer walks, allowing God's creation to inspire your communion with Him.

2. Immerse yourself in Scripture, recognizing it as your direct link to the Father's heart.

3. Shift your prayer focus from personal requests to seeking God's will for your life and community.

4. Pray for others with the same fervor you would for your own family.

5. Stay open to the supernatural, remembering that our God is a God of miracles.

I invite you to share your own experiences of seeking God's will in the comments below. Let's encourage one another in this journey of faith and discovery. And if this message has touched your heart, please consider sharing this post. 

Remember, as we diligently seek Him, God promises to reward us with His presence and revelation. May we all grow in our ability to manifest His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Embracing the Spirit: How to Speak with Divine Inspiration

Unleashing God's Word Through You

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're suddenly handed a microphone and expected to speak, but your mind goes blank?  I've experienced this more times than I can count. Today, I want to share some insights on how to tap into the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit when you're called to speak, even if you feel unprepared.

The Power of the Word and the Spirit

Knowing the Word: Your Spiritual Arsenal

As believers, we're often told to rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. Jesus himself said, "Take no thought beforehand what you're going to say, but in that hour... it will not be you speaking, but will be the Holy Ghost." This promise is incredible, but it comes with a caveat that many overlook: we need to know the Word of God intimately.

Let's look at the example of Stephen in the Bible. Before his martyrdom, Stephen delivered a powerful speech recounting the history of God's people. This wasn't just a spontaneous outpouring; it was the result of being "full of the Holy Ghost" and deeply knowledgeable about Scripture.

The Spiritual-Intellectual Connection

In my own walk with Christ, I've learned that there's a beautiful synergy between spiritual revelation and biblical knowledge. It's like having a vast library in your spirit that the Holy Spirit can access and articulate at any moment. This is why I always emphasize the importance of letting "the Word of God dwell richly in us."

Personal Reflections: From Worldly Wisdom to Godly Insight

Overcoming the Futility of the Mind

I remember a time in my life when I was walking around in what the Bible calls "the futility of their minds." I was constantly estimating outcomes, relying on my own intellect and worldly wisdom. I even learned speed reading and memorization techniques, thinking these would give me an edge in life.

But you know what? I wasn't fulfilled. There was always something missing.

The Transformative Power of God's Wisdom

It wasn't until I truly surrendered to God's wisdom that things began to change. I realized that God's ways often confound human logic. Remember Gideon? God reduced his army to just 300 men to face an overwhelming force. That's the kind of wisdom that leaves the world scratching its head but showcases God's power.

Practical Steps to Speak with Divine Inspiration

Immerse Yourself in Scripture: Make Bible study a daily habit. The more you know, the more the Holy Spirit has to work with.

Cultivate a Spirit of Worship: I've noticed that when I'm in a worshipful state, revelation flows more freely. It's in these moments that our faces can shine "like the face of an angel," just as Stephen's did.

Practice Listening Prayer: Spend time in silence, listening for God's voice. This strengthens your ability to hear Him in crucial moments.

Stay Humble: Remember, it's not about showcasing your knowledge but allowing God to speak through you.

Trust the Process: Even if you don't feel prepared, trust that God will give you the words when you need them.

Biblical Teachings on Speaking by the Spirit

The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power."

This passage beautifully encapsulates what it means to speak by the Spirit. It's not about eloquence or human wisdom, but about allowing God's power to flow through us.

The Supernatural Aspect of Spirit-Led Speech

When we align ourselves with God's Word and Spirit, supernatural things happen. I've witnessed people receive specific words of knowledge or prophecy that they couldn't have known in the natural. This is the realm where the spiritual and the physical intersect, and it's available to all believers who are willing to step out in faith.

Conclusion: Your Call to Action

As we wrap up, I want to challenge you:

Commit to daily Bible study, even if it's just for 15 minutes.

Next time you're asked to speak, resist the urge to over-prepare. Instead, pray and trust the Holy Spirit to guide you.

Share your experiences of speaking by the Spirit in the comments below. Your story could encourage others!

Remember, when you combine knowledge of God's Word with openness to His Spirit, you become a powerful vessel for His message. You never know when you might be handed that microphone, but with this approach, you'll always be ready to speak with divine inspiration.

Are you ready to take this step of faith? Let's embrace the power of the Spirit together and watch as God moves in extraordinary ways through our willingness to be His mouthpiece.
