Well I am usually foggy about whom I learned what from but I remember him teaching about spiritual breathing and the ways God answers prayer and the various hindrances to prayer. I also remember him teaching how the Greek makes faith rather than Peter the rock on which the church is built.
Spiritual breathing never heard that term before but this person sounds like one who would be good to listen to who is this person anyway?

Think about it for a moment....
If what happened with Peter being renamed today?

He might be called.... "Rocky." :unsure:

grace and peace .........

Yes, it is the same as spiritual walking that is mentioned in 2CR 5:7, etc.

I see Genez has given you the website, and he knows more details than I do about Thieme.
I just know that his sermons were systematic teaching, which I like.

He wasted some time translating from the KJV to modern English,
sometimes he got bogged down in translating from the Greek,
and sometimes his style or demeanor was too dogmatic,
but usually he was instructive and complemented my seminary teachers.

I checked out the website but it seems like you have to pay to watch or maybe I am just not seeing where to go

Do you have to pay to watch? or does he maybe have a youtube channel?
They will send you either a MP3 CD, or a Thumb drive.

Up to 40 hours of audio lessons per order!
I once met someone who told me he would listen 3 hours a day.
He needed crutches and loved learning as much as he could.
That was his choice.

With no charge? Go for it.

You can call and place an order, or use the online order form.

It has nothing to do with literal physical breathing.
The Bible often times uses physical aspects like "heart," "belly" and "kidneys" to signify some human experience.

The Bible teaches the principle of spiritual breathing.
I have been taught this, and have moved on with that understanding being understood.
It takes a teacher skilled in exegesis to delve into the use of the original language as the Bible was written in.

So where can I learn about it? I don't have a phone at the moment so I cannot order anything yet but if this person is as good as he seems I would like to be able to listen to him.

I believe a Prayer Warrior is someone who knows how to get God's attention and has been a very effective communicator to God and He looks forward to their intercession with Him. They have an extreme measure of faith and God generally answers their prayers. I personally believe they have a heart that truly seeks God and He seriously enjoys hearing from them. He knows us all but God really knows the Prayer Warrior in a special unique kind of way.

I just got done telling someone that prayer is the best way to get closer to God. I hope maybe one day I have this same heart and relationship with him.

I mentioned it in post #2, but here is an explanation.

Like physical walking, spiritual walking has two steps.
The first step is learning God's Word (LGW) one truth at at time, (MT 4:4)
and the second step is cooperating with God by applying it to your life. (PHP 3:10-16)

Another apt analogy is the act of breathing.
The inhale is LGW, and the exhale is obedience or cooperating with God.
The meaning of both analogies is communication/communion with God’s Holy Spirit.

When applied to prayer, the first step or inhale is listening to God (LGW),
and the second step or exhale is further prayer to God for His will to be done,
which is doing good works unto others for the glory of God (cf. 1JN 4:21, EPH 2:10).

perhaps the real issue is knowing his will when you pray, you could be praying for something he already has in mind to do and maybe sometimes we are praying against his will. like if I pray for someone but he already is going to help them.
nevertheless Father, not my will, your will be done as is now done through Son once for us all to love all, yes even those that have done us wrong
Can you see, you are right now in front of those that did you wrong. And they see you, not hating them, have forgiven them, what does that do to people?
I know what that did to me and it changed me to be forgiven, it heaped coals of fire on my head
Love, God's type as in 1 Cor 13:4-7 overcame and overcomes evil eternally thanks Blain God gave you that insight

As long as we keep praying for truth, God will be providing what is needed to become closer.

And, as we learn more truth, we will realize we could not guess what truth really is until shown.


Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6​

You know I had a dream once where I saw these dark gray clouds coming over the MTN I get out of my red car and I turn my head to the right I see the plane coming down it also had these dark gray clouds around the engines. The plan started to turn and was falling right towards me. The next thing I new I was on the plan in a window seat as the plan was turning.. crashed hit me then I was out side the plane. I thought "If I am dead why am I..." poof went strength up.. mind blowing fast. I was in the beautiful place a tree to my left a dear in front of me and this ..this small woman said to me "there is no such thing as luck here".

Haha.. yeah all that to say no such thing as luck. A song ..old one your desire is a confirmation the destination is there God would not put it in your spirit if it was not going somewhere. Two days ago I watch this preacher saying "we need those grandmothers who's hair is up in a bun again to be praying." Oh he was spot on well when I was like 15 (63 now) the bible study I went to was run by two grand parents and she prayed 4 hours a day and her hair was always up. You know I never once asked why. But man she had so much power of GOD.

Prayer.. that is where the battle is.. its not with flesh and blood yet that is were we tend to fight huh. So toss out luck.. what ever the need we find what He said in His word. So that intercession we stay there.. we keep praying. Some things we keep praying until we get the answer. Yeah its not a calling so ask your self .. where did this thought "prayer warrior" come from? :) yeah He gave it to you.. So start it.. He will take over at some point. We do again tend to say things yet we truly don't mean it. So start..
Do you understand your dream? :unsure:

It’s a warning dream…

The mountain with the dark cloud is the Kingdom of darkness.

You in the plane seated by a window is your spirit man. He operates in the air and can see spiritual situations.

The dark clouds surrounding the plane’s engines are the Kingdom of darkness attacking your love walk… your love for God, for others and for yourself.

God’s Love inside of us motivates us - God’s Love with His Faith and Hope and Holy Spirit all together in unison is our engines in the air.

Your Body on the ground is your physical body that knows something is wrong with your spirit man but is powerless to help.

The plane crashed into you on the ground because when the spirit man dies, the physical man dies… it happens in the spirit first then, in the physical.

Yet, your spirit man has life but not on the earth anymore without a body. You were taken to the Heavenly realm where you saw a tree which is the symbol of Life and a deer which is the symbol of one that greatly desires God and to drink from His River of Life…

The small woman is the Holy Spirit as Teacher to tell you and help you understand that, “There is no such thing as luck here.”

The lesson is this: Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issue of life. Let there be no root of unforgiveness or resentment or bitterness in it.


If you are not able to love, then faith cannot work which leads to doubting God’s Word which destroys all hope and the Holy Spirit cannot operate…. which leads to spiritual death and untimely physical death.

The Kingdom of darkness knows this, Satan doesn’t have to attack the whole plane, just the engines.

Be on your guard and keep your love walk vibrant towards God, others and yourself because there is no such thing as luck in the Kingdom of God.

Hope this blessed you! :love:

yes forgiveness is in my opinion one of the most vital things to have when praying if you have hatred or anger towards people when you pray it can block your connection with God.

Nothing, absolutely nothing can block anyone's connection with God, Nothing
Romans 8
Authorized (King James) Version
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 14:14
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Whoever is called? How many are called by God through Son's done work on that cross?
Are all called?
A few?
Only special ones that do work?

Did, God go to that cross for us all, not just the first chosen ones? Gentile too!

Does God love us all? If not, then why did Son as Son go to that cross willingly without any flesh fight back? Or ever call the Spirits to come and fight? As he told Peter that, to put up his sword, I could call legions of angels to fight. Yet he chose not to and then healed Malchus's ear the Peter had cut off, wanting to fight.
Not understanding the whole truth, as we all do the same, not understand God does just l;oive us all y'all
Give up self as the woman did in Luke 21 read that one and turn in self please if one has not done that yet, to God not me or any other person of religion here on earth thanks
As we each grow new daily into unto maturity is humility
