The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.

Lao Tzu

Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.

Louis Pasteur

The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.

Rene Descartes

Trust your intuitive heart.

Richard Carlson

By learning to contact, listen to, and act on our intuition, we can directly connect to the higher power of the universe and allow it to become our guiding force.

Shakti Gawain

We each need to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly.

Shakti Gawain

When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away.

Shakti Gawain

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Steve Jobs

'Healing,' Papa would tell me, 'is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature.'

W. H. Auden

Faith is a passionate intuition.

211. A Disciple After God’s Own Heart

Genesis 22:1-19

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... God is hard for us sometimes to fathom. It’s a kind of understanding that goes beyond memorizing rules or following guidelines. It goes beyond our culture or upbringing or ideas about what we should or should not do. It requires a kind of intuitive, faith-filled, relational connection with God, in which we understand with our hearts the kind of love, kindness, mercy, and peace that God’s heart exudes. God’s heart is a sacrificial heart. And God chooses servants throughout the scriptures to be covenant ...

212. The Rabbi's Apprentice

Matthew 15:21-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... teacher. Discipleship is a relational learning experience involving both head and heart, in which the apprentice passionately seeks to become so like the master that he or she will think and behave as the master does instinctively and intuitively. Because this style of learning demands practice, much of an apprentice’s learning experiences come not from listening to words, but in experiencing “teachable moments” –times when the apprentice watches the teacher interact with others, when they interact ...

213. A Message To You from God

John 1:1-18

Sermon

King Duncan

... Hall, a chef in Knoxville, Tennessee, says his family and friends worried about him when he decided to adopt two sons in 2017. As he says, “Nobody can truly understand why I did what I have done, but I did it on faith. I did it on intuition.” Hall, a single man with a successful catering company, was taking on a big responsibility when he adopted the two brothers from the county foster care system. And that responsibility grew even bigger when Hall discovered that his two new sons had four more siblings ...

214. The Readiness Potential

Luke 21:25-36

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... are so many others. We recognize signs every single day and our brains connect them to coming events, events that we have definite feelings and intentions about. Jesus explains that we must also allow our faith to guide us, must be open to trusting our faith’s intuition, so that we also recognize the signs of God all around us. For, as he explains, there will be signs. There are signs. The more you see Jesus in your life, the more secure you will feel, and the more intentionally you will act upon your ...

215. A VIP Seat

Luke 14:1-14

Sermon

King Duncan

... be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” According to Jesus, humility frees us from the burden of fear. Putting others’ needs ahead of our own. Seeking to honor others instead of seeking status for ourselves. It seems counter-intuitive, but humility is the secret to breaking the cycle of fear and comparative anxiety in life. Rob Willer, a sociologist at Stanford University, led a research study to test whether competition or cooperation raised a person’s status. He created a game ...

216. Spirit Signs

Luke 12:49-56

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... beliefs.” We need to re-evaluate our discipleship and the way we look at others. We need to look hard and close at what’s going on around us and ask where God means us to be within it. And we need to listen with our hearts, our intuition, our spirits, and our minds together, so that what we hear is not our own agendas and desires, but God’s voice pointing us into new directions and awkwardly unusual circumstances. How can we recognize God’s voice from our own? God’s mission is always about love ...

217. Stay the Course

Luke 21:5-19

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... to give up. You may imagine you see your path only to be faced with yet another false image. But close your eyes and trust Jesus to be your guide, and he will lead you through. We Christians, those with faith, need to trust in our inner eye, that intuitive knowledge that faith affords us, that allows us to trust and walk forward with our eyes closed and our sight clear.Faith is not seeing the path in front of us. Faith is trusting that the path will be there when we dare to take our first steps.Faith ...

218. The Great Reveal

Luke 2:22-40

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... intimately, know their faults and their personalities, know if they had hardened hearts or a suffering spirit, know if they had faith in God and pure intentions or whether they were driven by power or greed. Simeon describes this ability as having an intuition like a “sword” with the power to “slice open” and reveal what’s inside the heart of every soul. For Jesus, this “sword of truth” would not just peer into one’s heart, but it would challenge that person’s intentions, reality, doubt ...

219. That Mountaintop Moment

Mark 9:2-9

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... world. John Wesley called those vehicles “means of grace.” What he meant was that during those times of prayer, meditation, worship, or holy communion, through faith, we have the ability to connect with God on a relational level in a spirit-driven, intuitive kind of way that offers us an “overview effect” experience, an encounter with God’s grace that has the ability to transform us from the inside out! Following Jesus is not simply an intellectual, rational path. We can spend time learning about ...

220. The Art of Restoration

John 3:1-17

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... Luciano Pensabene set about the task of restoring the mural. Called “Alchemy,” the restoration of its stunning colors and textures also revealed secrets about the artists “drip process” and his fractal-like technique. In Pollock’s painting, rationality and intuition blended together in an explosion of color. Ironically, the painting (and our knowledge of the artist) underwent an “alchemy” of its own as its restoration revealed so much more than we could have imagined about the original.[1] But ...

221. We Live in Hope

1 Corinthians 15:19-26

Sermon

Bonnie Bates

... also for us. Death had been defeated for all time. Have you ever been at the bedside of one who is actively dying? There are machines, people, prayer, and grief. There is the essence of the living person struggling either to live or to die. You can, if you are intuitive, feel the presence, the spirit, the essence of the person who is lying in bed awaiting death. I have sat at many such bedsides. I can feel the pain of the relatives in the room. Sometimes I can feel the pain of the person who is dying. I can ...

222. The View from Cloud Nine

Luke 9:28-36

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... through our minds and education, repentance and renewal erupt in us from a very emotional and spiritual place –and often from a state of overwhelming joy. Just as clouds remain our “go to” metaphor for the presence of God and a higher, intuitive experience that lies beyond our control and knowledge, the popular phrase, the“view from cloud nine”maintains that metaphor in terms of the feeling evoked by our “cloud-soaked experiences. The phrase for us means to experience a perspective of extreme ...

223. The Rhythm of Your Heart

Luke 12:13-21

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... fork is used in many meditative practices as a tool to help people to align with God and resonate with the true Source or frequency of their “heart’s call.” Sound therapy uses frequency to assist in focus and to encourage inner harmony, empathy, intuition, and holistic healing.[2] Why? Perhaps because when we engage in prayer, in meditation, when we connect our hearts through music, our hearts resonate with God’s voice, God’s frequency, God’s presence in our lives in ways that move us, change us ...
