Welcome! I am with you
every step of the way!
Welcome, friends. It’s me, Blake Barnhill, and with an open heart, I’m excited to invite you into the journey of “Walking Deeper with God.” This journey is more than just a path we walk; it’s an awakening, a deep dive into the essence of our being. It’s about uncovering the hidden treasures within us and around us, as we cultivate a profound, intimate relationship with our creator.
Imagine standing at the edge of a vast, inviting forest. The path ahead, shrouded in mystery, beckons with the promise of self-discovery and spiritual encounter. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This verse invites us into a moment of stillness, a pause in our busy lives to reflect, to listen, and to know God more deeply. It’s in this stillness that our journey begins.
Together, we will navigate the complexities of our faith, embracing the questions that naturally arise and finding peace in the silence that speaks volumes. As we walk this path, we’ll experience moments of profound beauty, where the divine touches our everyday lives, transforming our mundane experiences into sacred encounters.
But this journey is more than just reflection; it’s about transformation. It’s about taking steps, however small, toward a life that mirrors our deepest beliefs and values. It’s about living with purpose, with love, and with a heart open to the endless possibilities that faith brings.
A core goal of mine is to guide you through deep introspection, helping you understand why you think, feel, and interact with others the way you do. This understanding is the first step in encountering yourself in a deeper, more meaningful way, preparing you for a closer encounter with God. Through one-hour session intervals, I offer guidance designed to foster this understanding and guide you step by step closer to God.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” As we embark on this journey together, let this verse be a guiding light for us, a reminder of the peace and understanding that comes from being still in the presence of the Divine.
Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. My hope is that it lights your path and soothes your spirit. Connect with me today and let’s embark on this adventure to walk deeper with God, together.
A Journey of Faith, Trial, and Triumph
From his earliest memories, Blake Barnhill’s life has been a tapestry woven with threads of faith, challenge, and profound transformation. His spiritual journey began as a small child, an innocent, heartfelt prayer whispered around the ledge of a pool, imploring God to grant him the ability to swim. This simple yet powerful moment marked the beginning of a lifelong exploration of faith and its mysteries.
One day, his mother, in a blend of trust and challenge, let him jump into the pool without the safety of swimmies. Miraculously, Blake began to swim instinctively, as if guided by an unseen hand. This experience, though not fully understood at the time, planted a seed in his heart, a realization that God was indeed real, listening to the prayers of a child.
The early Christian influence in Blake’s life came through his grandparents. Their unwavering faith and weekly church visits shaped his young mind. Yet, at that tender age, his understanding of God was more about pleasing his family, particularly his grandparents, than forging a personal spiritual connection.
As he grew, Blake’s focus shifted. Sports and popularity became his twin idols, his benchmarks for acceptance and success. He was exceptionally hard on himself, constantly under pressure to excel, to live up to the legacy of his parents, especially his father. Blake wanted to be known as a great athlete, believing this was the path to his father’s approval and, by extension, his own self-worth.
This quest for acceptance took a startling turn when Blake experienced a series of accidents in his beloved sport of baseball. A ball struck his face, breaking his nose, instilling a deep-seated fear and paranoia that crippled his performance. He felt as if God had taken away his gift of baseball, leading him down a spiral of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleepless nights, and emotional turmoil.
In this dark hour, Blake sought help from a discipleship program. Here, amidst tears and brokenness, he agreed to a prayer of salvation. This marked a turning point. The OCD that had tormented him subsided, and he began to feel a change within. Even his interests shifted – violent video games lost their appeal, and a newfound joy sprang in his spirit.
Yet, this change was not without its struggles. Blake still clung to his old desires for popularity and sporting success. His understanding of God was still rooted in a works-based theology, where perfection was the only acceptable offering. This mindset followed him through high school and college, leading to a crisis of faith, a loss of assurance in his salvation, and a diminishing will to live.
Desperate for a true encounter with God, Blake stumbled upon an article by a Methodist pastor. The pastor’s words, “I plead the promises of God,” struck a chord in him. Coupled with a friend’s advice to immerse himself in the Bible, Blake embarked on a new chapter of his spiritual journey.
He spent days in seclusion, reading scripture, until something within him began to shift. Seeking further understanding, he attended a supernatural healing conference. There, he experienced the overwhelming power of the Spirit, unable to move, asking God to send someone to him. A stranger approached, praying over him, proclaiming God’s affirmation of him as His own.
Blake’s faith journey took a significant turn when two girls prophesied over him, igniting a fire within him to speak God’s truth into someone’s life. This act of obedience brought an incredible physical and spiritual awakening. He started to hear God’s voice, witnessed healings, and began to understand God’s heart.
Today, Blake Barnhill stands as a testament to the transformative power of faith. His journey continues, marked by a deepening relationship with God, a constant sense of companionship, and an ever-growing understanding of the divine. His story is one of faith, trial, and triumph, a beacon to those seeking their path in the vastness of spiritual understanding.
