Let me know if this has happened to you...

As an everyday Church-going Christian, there have been times in our lives where we've heard and we believed the idea that:

Right?

And so we go to Church week after week...

We go through discipleship and Bible studies...

We read the latest book...

We attend the next conference...

But unfortunately, breakthrough never "just happens"...

Is that your story right now? Is that why you're here?

Have you been pursuing the ability to hear and recognise God speaking in your own life, but just don't know HOW to get your breakthrough?

Or does your story sound a little bit different?

Maybe you have recognised God speaking into your life and your world, but it comes and goes...

Or you've tasted what it is like to experience hearing God for yourself and you want to take another step deeper...

Or people around you have started to notice that you are hearing God speak more and more consistently and you want to develop your gifting?

Have you ever thought...

My name is Rich Stals, and I am the Regional Director of Ruah School of Prophecy in the Asia Pacific region, and I have an all-consuming passion to see people experience their own breakthrough in their journey into the Voice of God.

I have been on a 25 year journey pursuing the prophetic experience in the Kingdom of God.

I remember the very first time I recognised that God was speaking to me.

I was a young 19 year old guy in a little Baptist Church. We had just had a family begin to attend Sunday services. When the husband, wife and small child walked into our Church, little did I know that I would be forever marked by the power of God's voice.

The young wife had just given her heart to follow Jesus. She had begged her husband to come to Church. You see, he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and had only weeks left to live.

Our little Church family rallied around this young family and just loved on them. We prayed for them and encouraged them. We would invite the husband to follow Jesus. But nothing anyone could do seemed to make a difference for him...

That was until one Sunday morning after service. We were all standing around the auditorium chatting together in different groups when I looked over at him and felt this quiet but insistent impression inside me...

"Go and tell him that you are praying for him and his family"

I ignored it.

But it just stayed with me. I thought to myself that I shouldn't bother him, surely so many others had told him this exact same thing already.

"Go and tell him that you are praying for him and his family"

So I went over and said these simple words from a heart of love. He thanked me and we all went home.

Then on Wednesday night I heard the news. He had experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus in giving his heart to God. He told us that the one thing that changed everything for him was when I had come over to him and told him I was praying for him and his family.

In fact, this incident had so moved him that as we helped hm plan for his funeral, one of the things he insisted on having happen was that I was to read his favourite passage of the Bible. He wanted me to be a part of his farewell because of the impact I had on his life.

I didn't understand it. That one little phrase had such an out of proportion impact in the life of that family. I know he had heard others say that exact same thing to him. What was different this time?

The difference was that when I gave my voice to agree with what the Voice of God was saying, heaven was released into the situation.

Since then, I have spent years pursuing what it means to recognise and hear God's voice and then to partner with Him to see breakthrough in my own life and the world around me.

I won't lie to you and say this was an easy journey.

Sometimes I would have amazing experiences in hearing God speak...

And then I would totally miss it.

One week I would have people weeping in response to a simple message I had spoken to them...

The next I would have people angry and upset at something else I had shared.

Sometimes it all felt a bit hit and miss, confusing and painful to continue to pursue this prophetic journey...

But somehow over these last 25 years God has used the Bible, experiences and wonderful people from all over the world to guide me step by step into a place of consistently hearing God speak.

What seemed so intangible and out of reach is now a normal part of my Christian experience.

Now, I don't pretend to have all the answers. My journey in the prophetic ministry continues. But I do have 25 years of hard-won insights and experience that God is using to help others accelerate their own journey.

I have had the privilledge of connecting with Matthew Helland, the founder and Global Director of Ruah School of Prophecy. I am thrilled to be a part of a gobal movement that is seeing hundreds of people trained, activated and released into hearing God speak for themselves.

Instead of having to struggle through all the things Matthew and I have been through to get our own breakthroughs, this prophetic coaching course will accelerate your own growth and development in the prophetic so you can take it to the next level.
