Theme: Staying Full of the Word and Spirit to Walk in God’s Plan

Overview

In this message from the 2021 Prayer Conference, guest minister Noel Ramos shares a heartfelt, practical, and often humorous testimony of how learning to “stay full” of God’s Word and Spirit enabled him to overcome personal failure, walk in God’s purpose, and experience supernatural supply and increase. Drawing on personal stories, biblical principles, and charismatic teachings, Ramos exhorts listeners to a life of daily consecration, prayer, and Spirit-led living as the only way to enter the “full manifestation of God’s plan” in this era.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Learning to Pray and Enter Into God’s Plan (00:08–07:30)

• Prayer as a Personal Journey:
  Ramos describes his early Christian walk as one marked by repeated failure (“Everything that I do failed. I was a failure... my own relatives... telling me that I’m more failure than them, that was bad.” [03:00]) but says this positioned him to discover authentic dependence on God.
• Starting in Prayer:
  He notes many Christians struggle with how to begin praying and says God showed him that the key isn’t struggle but just starting and staying consistent.
• Consecration to God’s Plan:
  “You got to stay full of the Word and full of the Spirit. And… first of all, you have to be consecrated to the will.” [01:55]
• No Shortcut to Spiritual Success:
  Emphasizes meditation on the Word is the foundation: “Lord, there’s no shortcut in success, right? Spiritual success. No, you got to meditate on the Word day and night, daily.” [05:20]

2. Daily Living: The Necessity of Continual Spiritual Renewal (07:30–17:38)

• Eating the Word Like Daily Food:
  “You cannot live old manna... The food that you eat yesterday... cannot sustain you. The following day you get hungry again. But spiritually we don’t do that... I call it casual Christians.” [06:30]
• Getting Filled, Not Just Fed:
  Ramos draws a vivid parallel between eating natural food and spiritual renewal, highlighting that fullness must be refreshed daily.
• Learning by Doing:
  Recounts how simple, persistent prayer and Bible reading eventually led to revelation, illustrating the practical, sometimes awkward path to spiritual growth (e.g., praying in the “comfort room” in the Philippines).
  Memorable quote: “In the Philippines, we... call it comfort room. And that’s my closet. And I will sit on that commode till my thing get hurt.” [13:45]

3. Staying Full: Overflowing to Others (17:38–25:26)

• The Water Bottle Illustration:
  Ramos uses a bottle of water to show that when you are “full,” even a slight movement causes overflow, blessing others as God intended.
  “Staying full is like this bottled water, you know, a little bit movement, it overflow. But if you... talk about the Word and the Holy Ghost... if you’re a little bit of movement, spill right away, And that spill not only bless your life, but bless others.” [18:10]
• Skillfulness Comes Through Daily Practice:
  Being “skillful” in the things of the Spirit doesn’t take forever, just daily consistency: “It took me a month. Not really a month. In just a few days of doing it every day, skillfulness began.” [20:18]

4. Prayer Life: Approaching in Confidence and Joy (21:46–29:21)

• Pray Knowing What Belongs to You:
  “Don’t come in my presence in prayer without you knowing what belongs to you, you can’t come and beg.” [22:21]
• Prayer as Receiving:
  God’s presence is where you “obtain, you receive. But you can’t receive something you don’t know.” [22:41]
• Don’t Confuse Emotion with Spiritual Life:
  “See, that’s why things get weird, because you added your feeling to it, your emotion... Stay joyful. I got to stay joyful every day. God taught me how to do it. It’s not really hard. Things of the Spirit is not hard.” [19:52]

5. Facing Lack and Challenge With the Fullness of the Word (29:21–36:35)

• God’s Glory in Times of Darkness:
  Connects Isaiah 60 (“Arise, shine... the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee... darkness shall cover the earth…”) to the COVID-19 era, encouraging listeners to focus on God’s glory and opportunity, not on pandemic challenges.
  “Everybody, even ministers, try to check how that Covid. This, this, that, that... I study about the glory. Because God said, Isaiah 60 is coming to pass. I said, stay in the glory. This is our opportunity to increase.” [30:43]
• Receiving Insurmountable Increase:
  Shares testimony about his church receiving supernatural supply and property in line with a prophetic word, countering “it’s impossible” mindsets with faith in God’s promise.

6. The Principle of Overflow: More Than Enough & God’s Faithfulness (36:35–45:03)

• From Scarcity to Eden:
  Quotes Isaiah 51 about God making wilderness like Eden, emphasizing that God’s comfort brings increase and joy (see [36:22–38:11]).
• Praying and Singing in the Spirit:
  Describes how “being filled with the Holy Ghost” brings spontaneous praise and singing (“Every Christian has a song in their heart... fresh from heaven by the Holy Ghost.” [38:13])
• Testimony: How They Got Their House:
  Details receiving a home supernaturally after years of prayer and prophetic confirmation, including miraculous timing and God’s use of “angels”—all attributed to “staying full.”
• Staying Full Makes You Unshakeable:
  “Only lack we have: If we don’t stay full.” [43:26]

7. Practical Steps: Praying the Word, Not Just Tongues (45:03–57:18)

• “Come to the Waters”:
  Isaiah 55 used to reiterate that spiritual fullness brings practical provision (“He’ll lead you how to make money. He lead you how to do it. He did. We have no money. There’s no way we can buy it.” [45:39])
• Overcoming Pride and Begging:
  “When you’re still thinking about money, you’re not full yet. Stay full of the word.”
• Start Your Prayer Time With the Word:
  “You’ll never struggle how to start praying? Don’t pray in the Spirit right away. Try to pray the Word first because it renews your mind. It stirs up your thinking.” [49:50]
• Prayer Gives the Holy Spirit Permission to Move:
  “The Holy Ghost is in us. But he doesn’t just strengthen you without your permission. Amen.” [54:17]

8. Walking Out God’s Plan: Covenant, Connection, and Right Intentions (57:18–63:37)

• God’s Plan Above Self-Supply:
  “Traveling ministry is not my supply. You’re my supply. I’ve been saying that for long time. I believe you.”
• Stay With God’s Plan and Connections:
  Receiving supernatural supply is connected to honoring spiritual relationships and God’s plan rather than pursuing personal ministry ambition.
• Intention Matters:
  “Whenever you think about your ministry, be careful because your intention will be wrong... Never talk to God about your problem. Get the word in you about that situation, what belongs to you.” [62:24]

9. Practical Manifestation: Seeing by the Spirit (63:37–end)

• Receiving—Not Begging—by Faith:
  “Receive that house that I gave you. Receive that word. So I said, Lord, I receive... Everything is being given to us. We don’t have to beg and cry, feel sorry for yourself. You just have to learn what belongs to you, what belongs to him. Belongs to us, right?” [66:00]
• Spiritual Sight (“TV screen in your spirit”):
  “Let your mind focus into your spirit. We learn that from Pastor because your mind wants to know what’s in you. And... the Lord said, Amen. Let me show you what's in your heart. And my God, it's like TV screen in the spirit. He took that word that is in my spirit and show right in front of me.” [65:30]
• Persistence in Confident Joy While Waiting:
  Even when a cash offer threatened their house, they danced and praised God in faith.
  “We left that house... so confident... so joyful. We didn’t leave that house until we started dancing. Whoa. Glory hallelujah. Ha ha.” [68:10]
