Arnold [Music] all threes the Lord Wow wouldn't give this spot to a leopard I was reading a scripture as I got ready to go down the hallway I was just talking low it's not very much that I can find good about that Schmo Balaam he could prophesy with his eyes open couldn't keep his heart straight but he could operate the gifts and but I got encouraged from him tonight because I need what I need to say what I need to do he said I cannot go beyond what the Lord my God has told me to say usually I'm I'm I guess expected to hit the ball out of the park and and I've spent almost a week and a half can't find the bat so if you don't mind I'm just going to tell you what I really feel the Lord has told me we've shouted we danced we wept we pride we've repented we've apologized the only thing we got left to do is go home and and yet I feel like God has has challenged me deep within my spirit to try and help us so I may not inspire you but I'm hoping that God for a few moments will let me provoke you and it's a very awkward position I'm in because I'm going to talk to you about something that you all think you got all under control I'm reading from the book of Judges chapter 2 while you turn there commend all the speakers are the Huntley brother Mike or brother Anthony God have mercy for the Tenny everybody the doc I got a brother that's a doctor Wow just wonderful all the worship everybody been so kind okay come on we got a few minutes okay I'm reading verse 7 of chapter 2 and the people serve the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua who had seen all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel and Joshua the son of nun the servant of the Lord died being a hundred and ten years old they buried him in the border of his inheritance and Timnath Harris in the mount of ephraim on the north side of the hill Jayesh and all the generation were gathered unto their father and they arose another generation after them which knew not the Lord nor yet the works which he had done and the children of Israel did evil in verse 12 and they forsook the Lord I'm reading from the Book of Jeremiah you don't have to go to let me just turn it okay takes too long for you find this stuff jeremiah 422 for my people is foolish they have not known me they are sadhus children they have not understanding they are wise to do evil but to do good they have no knowledge 9:23 thus saith the Lord let not the wise man glory in his wisdom neither let the mighty man glory in his might nor let the rich man glory in his riches but let him that glorieth glory in this that he understandeth and knoweth me I'm not even going to finish the rest of the scripture I'm just going to go there and I'm going to talk to you tonight just tying into one last scripture Hosea six and six for I desired mercy and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings I'm going to talk to you tonight about God's great desire and man's greatest need God says the greatest thing I desire for you is for you to know me and that's the greatest needs you have in your life father bless the Ministry of the word help me to preach good please help me to have freedom and liberty I'm very uncomfortable right now and I know that you've told all this stuff to me and I'm trying to get it straightened my brain please help me bless the sweet people Lord and and just just kind of let me feel comfortable for just a little while okay I know you've been with us and you blessed this and we've just about gone everywhere we can go but I just feel like this is what you want me to say please help me in Jesus name and everybody said amen god bless you you may be seated thank you it might seem like an awkward thing to go to a conference of three or four thousand preachers and preachers lives and and gospel involved people to challenge you with the statement the greatest thing you need right now is to know God a spiritual saving knowledge of God is man's greatest need because an unknown God cannot be trusted now figured I was going to get I'm about at the climax right now what I thought I would get and here's why I've got to tell you this because I'm under a mandate I'm preaching what I'd like to you were right doc I don't work for the church my boss gave this to me and the problem that I'm having now is that the majority of you probably 99% of you are all sitting here stunned what is this Schmo saying to me about knowing God of course I know God really really well then let me go a little easier for you at what level do you know him no not got there yet yeah you see I according to the scripture God reveals himself to every generation anew and afresh I am the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob I'm not the god of the dead I'm the god of the living he gives everybody a chance the privilege to know him but here's the key he only reveals himself to people in degrees he has never revealed himself to any people or any individual in his fullness I don't care how much you think we United Pentecostal people got it we don't know all that God wants to show us yet we have yet to travel where God is fixin to take us yet this whole conference is brother Tennyson was about transition God is positioning this body right now let's take us into a place like Joshua took Israel you have not gone here you bought your going to touch them you've never touched your going to see something you've never seen and the greatest need that you have is you better know God for himself you you be seated we only get glimpses of God we had waves of a spirit that came here day and night and sometimes reach slobberin starting crying sometimes we shouting Boogaloo and jam and throwdown you ready for this I don't hurt your feelings because you think this is no no God just went how's there there's a glimpse if you think you know God because you shouted your brain ain't working you know what a shout is God you showed up and said let me introduce myself to you well let me ask you all you brilliant theologians you mean to tell me when you meet somebody you know well Hopkins I guess attire these morons very oh I know God as soon as they say that I said shut up fool you don't know nothing anybody talks about God like the big guy in the sky and all that cowboy stuff that's a bunch of baloney anybody ever found out in the description never got to know God fell down on their face shook themselves tremble themselves we're terrified in their soul because the creature from another world had stepped in and said hey I want to know you would you like to know me just stay with me just for a few minutes I know you've been there a long time just stay with me for just a few minutes the place that God is taking us to right now is glorious it is supernatural it is dynamic and then God said to me and tell him it's dangerous because my people have learned how to do they haven't learned yet how to be and if they end up going into the supernatural realm that I want to take them and all they know is doing without being it's going to be a disaster they're going to end up shipwrecked because spiritual gifts are heavy things to operate when you don't know God I was afraid of this you see we don't know the difference between knowing about God and knowing go we learn all kinds of nifty things about God but who in their right mind could say I know God let me tell you about it really you mean the infinite can comprehend the finite you mean the measured bag of clay and dirt knows all about the immeasurable and the incomparable I heard someone before making a statement I don't mean to be rude but in my mind my mind has a dumb statement my god is large God is big oh you need to shut up you don't know what you're talking about that that's a measurement of size my god it's a big God what do you talk about big what are you going to compare to that's a measurement of size he's not immense he's infinite the universe doesn't contain God God contains the universe our concept is did we keep busting and cutting about what's wrong and what's wrong and what's wrong and what's wrong what we need is a revaluation of our mindset of how great God is how awesome God is how fantastic God is how glorious God is our concept of God is too small God's great complain of his people out through the years has always been they have not known me how in the world could you be religious how could you do offerings how can you worship how can you do praise and then God said you don't know me we'll see wonder who he's talking to well I felt the presence of God that don't mean you know him well I talk in tongues that don't mean you know that means he just introduced himself to you on a very low level when you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost God just introduced his nature into your life and you get to know I'm on the smallest rung of the ladder and you know what he does have to gives you two holding us come on come no big time learn of me let's see how great I am see how glorious I am let me blow your mind don't just be at acts 2:38 there's a wonderland of glory way beyond just the baptism of the Holy Ghost now I'm struggling right now because you're staring at me and here's why because you're saying this fool won't know what he's talking about I know God no no you know God like I know God in a very low level we know shakin and quakin jicama hook of Oaxaca we know how to do that we know how to carry on but but what what the doc said today I thought he's gonna preach him a whole sermon I had first time ever played against an Apostolic preacher said move him off it move him off it he's going to mess up a great message move him off it and he did thank you Jesus nine hundred and forty four times the recorded word says no known knowing nine hundred and forty four times that word is the he believes dr. Bernard I saw him here somewhere doc here we go you're the Greek scholar you don't you know Hebrew stuff felt good here's here's what it says the word no means in the Hebrew yo da 944 times in the Old Testament no is translated from the word yoga and the Lord's complained to his people learn oh you know about me and you use my stuff and you enjoy me but I oh never you da you because you're da means intimate knowledge naked transparency face-to-face knowledge I don't want this rated X it means to penetrate into one's being to get inside the body to get inside the mind to get inside the concept so that when God you dawes you you start seeing things from his perspective there is no giant too big and there ain't no devil too big an array so disease that can't be healed and there is no situation that cannot be corrected whoa you ever seen it just a second just a second why do we have all the religions why do we have all the philosophies why do we have all the cults simple they know about God don't know God I'll get real yeah why you got all the hell in trouble in your church real easy the people that cause it don't know God either no no I didn't say they haven't met God I didn't say they don't on some type of low-level relationship with God but they'd never let them knowing increase they've never let their knowing multiply so they end up with attitudes with feelings with loss I wish I could get a witness in this house if we go home and start learning how to know God and teach our people how to know God we won't have a bunch of hell and craziness going on from our church our choir our board our Usher's we've got to get people is not knowing God greater than they know God deeper than they know God I'm not saying we don't know I'm saying our knowing is initial our knowing is elementary let me just tell you what the tragedy you sit down transy the Pentecostal people it's not Pentecostal most of it come in acts 2:38 we get baptized the Holy Ghost baptized in Jesus name wash and we live for the rest of our life at the initial level of knowing and we learned not what to wear hopefully not what to snip and hopefully not what to paint and not what to watch and not what to go and so watch our knowing who is to fire our knowing becomes a Christianity of compliance only you and I are not any closer to God we don't know God any better just because we don't wear this and don't watch that and don't cut that we ought not do that stuff anyway cuz the book says we shouldn't do it you know what first John says in chapter 2 verse 3 and 4 he said hereby hereby we know that the love of God and we know God because we keep his Commandments watch don't you ever say it he knoweth God and keepeth not his Commandments he's a liar and the truth not in it you don't gotta cut with a bunch of people that don't want to do right and live right it tells you right now their level of knowing it's very little we need to encourage them inspire them challenge them cuz if they get to know God in a greater level they'll be a blessing it's better than am I making sense you ready to read River Mike want to get there in a second let me ask you a question simple question man well it'd be so nice to see you man's walking along the beach unfortunately he might be a pentecostal walking along the beach or he could just be in a savage walking along the beach ok what's this walking along the beach whom god be holdeth a watchin it worketh he stares at the watchin guess what he says whom God there is a watchmaker somewhere for I had discovered the product of his hands what it himself for him to say I know him you didn't hear me the mic must have been off how careful for him to turn around sake oh yeah I found the product he created I'm well-acquainted with him that man doesn't know the makers temperament he doesn't know his love he doesn't know his passion he doesn't know his desire all he knows he is discovered what are the works of the creator just because your shout just because your dance that doesn't mean you know ever you're not here you struggle come on look when we go to heaven heaven is not going to be streets of gold walls of Jasper gates of pearl listen to me heaven is going to be the unending unfolding of knowing him to a degree in a level that we were never permitted to know on this plateau you're never going to get used to Jesus you're never just going to I met him no no no there are so many multiple facets of his glory and his majesty and his greatness it'll take eternity and then some for us to discover how glorious he is and how great he is and you've got him in your spirit right now he lives inside your body he wants you and I to know him better and we know him says God according to the scripture has made full and final revelation of himself in the man Jesus of Nazareth he was the word in the will of God manifested he that has seen me has seen the father have I been so long time with you Philip died has known me he that sees me sees the father you've known the father you know who he is you ready for this five minutes after a three-year ministry they knew Jesus better than they had ever known it at Pentecost five minutes after the wind fire in tongues all of a sudden the landlord moved into the house you got a problem you holy rollers you've never taken time to check with the renter you have no idea who's living inside you right now you see the thing that makes Christianity so fabulous is that in Christianity the owner the teacher the lord of the property moved into the property that doesn't happen with Confucius that doesn't happen with Muhammad Anala that doesn't help no Joseph Smith didn't move into anybody nobody ever moved into his pupils but on the day of Pentecost the Lord other people step into the body of the part and we became the house of God the building of God the body of Christ the temple of the Lord his legal ambassadors we are his representative please be seated I know I'm not I'm not burning the barn I understand that listener do you understand that when God moves into you he doesn't move in so you go ahead yeah that's that's fine that's that's some of the fruit that you get from the room some of you need to check the route because I don't see no fruit [Applause] blooming that chunk I'm not emotional I'm just not giving to that well why well I don't feel nothing well I don't feel married oh pardon me for being so brilliant I don't feel man hey what does feel Mary feeling I look 32 but I'm 62 I look like The Olympian ideal but I'm not can I get it yet how'd you I I just don't beat let me help you with this when you loved there are two things involved we've get hung up on the feeling the power behind feel is the willing you will to love you will to praise you will to be faithful you will discern you will to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord you don't wait to feel nothing because you know it's the truth you will giove you will you will you're not going to get to know God any greater than you are now unless you will to know me I will to know God I will to know the voice of God stay with me you get a fabulous job okay man I'm not being rude to you doc okay it just you got understand this there are two words in the scripture that had to do with know now you are the Greek guy I know that and the Greek guy in Philippians 3 7 through 10 he used the same word translated from yada yada means to know intimately personally to be within one it's the same word it's called ganas Co conozco is the word that Paul used that I might know him what was your problem Oh see we've raised the generation that's adamant about Paul's doctrine but they're sure against his journey into the spirit they love the fussing cuss over Romans but they don't want nothing to do with his venture listen according to the scripture he was a Discoverer a finder here we go and discover again too many people supposed to be Christians they are discoverers and finders and then they just can't I'll prove it to you okay go ahead Mike read for me I won't be I won't be long I I was afraid of this go ahead you want John five I want to go ahead John five scream and the father himself what's this which had sent me now he's talking to the one god Jews who are worshippers appraisers sacrificers ritual people ceremonial people what yes and the father was just sent me have borne witness of me how does the father bear witness that he sent you if it ain't with signs and wonders and miracles you're blowing smoke the Bible said Jesus showed himself alive by many infallible proofs it's time for us to have a parade of infallible proofs it's time for us but insist to be healed and the hurting to be helped and the cancers tomorrow we need Jesus to show up show off and show out we need some infallible proofs we've got the purpose in our hearts when we leave this conference that we are going to know him better but you've seen it here's my problem brother you stay right there Michael my problem twenty four years I'd preach I'm thinking it's a good ideas you got I'm going to stop one year early twenty four years I've been here in twenty four years I've never had God give me a message that didn't have a conclusion I have a beginning a long middle and the conclusion God spoke to me and said god I'm so nervous and apprehensive about this trying to tell pelicans to people about knowing God they think they know you so much they can mail you somewhere they think they know you so much how am I going to tell them what's going to be the conclusion and the Lord did speak to me you call me a liar you could say anything you want but God did speak to me and said there'll be no conclusion to this message it will go on after they leave they will leave here with a desperation to pursue me that's what David said you said seek my face and I said I will seek your face God what what to take us to a level of knowing Jesus so nothing intimidates us well maybe they see - just a minute just a minute Jimmy I hope you're right EF because you said I had it I hope you're right if not we're both leaving this year refunded said the father which that he had bought witnesses yeah neither heard his voice what at any time nor seen his Sheikh keep going and ye have not his word abiding in you didn't say they didn't know the word didn't say didn't practice the word they said no the word doesn't abide in you that's why you got a lot of loonies in your church the word doesn't abide and then that metal get up said doc don't get upset because I'm gonna get on your candy stick in a minute do not get upset and don't let Texas get upset with me control your people that's why we elected to control what's this reforming for whom he has said whom he had sent here me you believe not you don't believe me now hide the Father in flesh but you don't believe me I'm wait a minute I'm the author of the book you're in love with the book but you don't give a flip about the author I'm the creator and claim i'm deity and dust i'm the master in a uniform of a body don't you the reason why you can't hear my voice is you don't know him that sent me you're just religious we better hurry up and learn to him we better know him why because when we step out into this miraculous realm there's going to be voices there's going to be bumps in the road there's going to be obstacles there's going to be Devils that challenge you and if you know God it doesn't matter if you have losses or you have crosses that stuff will not stop you why I'll tell you what when you know God you can stand back with all hell breaking loose and say it don't even matter if efficiency give me just a few more minutes reform arrest search the Scriptures and come on oh you Bible Quiz arson search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal hair done hey you Pentecostals memorize them scriptures search descriptions I'm here to tell you in the docs here I'm here to change the Bible is not God the Bible is a revelation of the mind and heart and will of God you can learn the Bible and not know the God of the Bible you can quote oh I feel like talking you can quote all the scriptures you want to but there's a difference between quoting the word and knowing the word there's something different between the printed page and the master of the page take it give me give me just a human you're doing great Reverend Michael we're going down about 1 verse 42 something like didn't write go ahead and you will not come to me much my whole life you will come to me that you might have life you've got me sick you've got life because you know the book don't get mad doc you better watch out unless we become doctrine dias and bible dias so that we worship the book so we get him thrown and enriched and enthralled with the book these are they which testify of me but you won't come to me that book listen if that book doesn't lead you and I to Jesus Christ we're not reading the book right we're not understanding uh-huh you can sit there play your little Pentecostal game all you want to it's not another quoted scripture it's not another point it is Annette that books gotta take us to Jesus that books gotta cause us to go beyond the book I got a few moments I receive not honour from me yeah but I know you that he have not the love of God in when he still in one God shoes he's telling the most religious cats you ever seen in a pair of shoe let them guys into Church junkies Fred they're doing sacrifices they shed blood they're worshipping they're wearing roles they're doing stuff that man of anybody ought to know God he'll be worse than a massage I know God shut up stupid you know what's showing it listen here's how you know God he said and he called the Apostles to be with him that they might learn of him if we don't take more time to be with him we're not going to learn of him we'll just learn about him if we do not experience what we expand we cannot possess it because you only possess what your experience well let's try this we keep all this for two and a half days blow it and going about all the sick gonna be healed and all the stuff well we'll see in a few minutes see how juicy fide everybody gets it's real simple what would Jesus do what did his early church - I ask God what is the difference between us in the early church they repented they baptized in Jesus name they believed in the baptism the Holy Ghost talking in tongues and the Lord spoke to me said yeah but they had a knowing about me that my present Church doesn't know so that when I let them go in prison they one sucking their thumb when I let them go in prison those guys are rocking to jail they just singing their blessing god they're exalting God I'm saying in earthquakes I'm sent an angel you want all this power from God you got to put up with the problems that God sets it up with because the mess is what gives you the miracle you can't have a miracle looking good you can't have a miracle feeling good you gotta feel true we've got to feel awful you got to go through some we need the impossible so God will do the impossible I got a few one-minute subscription you got my other scriptures for me man cried Jesus in the temple as he taught oh how dare he messed with the church house he's in the church house and he cried out while he spoke what he said he both know me yeah and you know whence I came yeah and I am come of myself yeah but he that sent me once this is true who you know not how to win friends John influenced people I know you believe in God but you just eluded you don't know it see see he said that to the church people I'm not allowed to say to the church people we want to say that junk foot telling the lost the lost already know they lost you can't keep looking at creation and trying to find out about God Roman Romans autopsy from the Apostle Paul that says creation declares the things of God listen to me creation declares it doesn't reveal God it shows them it shows the work of God but you can't look at the watch and say you know the watchmaker you can't look at creation and say you know the Creator it doesn't work that way you got to meet him for yourself you got to embrace him for yourself you got to know him for yourself you got to have an encounter let's set you free I'm telling you dear brother we are running this church on low level knowing doesn't mean we don't love God doesn't mean we're not saved it just means that we're a liability [Music] some of our kids are liabilities they're still our kids you're not getting it I got in got the Holy Ghost Cup outside Jesus day you call this put on that didn't cut this in favor okay I'm ready what are you doing I'm into maintenance I'm gonna learn what the standard is to singing the clock and I'm going to meet the standard and I'm going to sing in the choir but I may not know God and you want to get frost those guys I'm going to hurt you right now I don't care what you God told me you just sit there and stare all you want to annoying is not enough we've been hearing all this about getting anointed getting anointed gaining anointed you better watch out anointing doesn't mean you know God Annoying means God's using you that's all he anointed that donkey and the donkey didn't know God I go little further he annoying is Lucifer who will be anointed cherub that covereth as close to the presence of God in the throne of God as anybody can get and he didn't know him either he just knew about him let me try it again I get close where you are and Judas Iscariot was given the gifting and the anointing of God before the Holy Ghost was given at Pentecost and he cast out Devils and he went around and healing the sick and he has quiet now and he had miracle signs and wonders and he didn't know Jesus either so you can be used by God and anointed by God and sing oh and you can dance like a ballerina and God turns around says sorry no you die with us no can Oh slow with us you're just using my stuff I will go further and I don't mean to hurt you more because I know God's greatly use you but I will tell you an empty wheelchair is not proof you know God I'll prove it to you stay right where you are might be that the doctor called it I'm just going to expand on it Matthew 7:21 not everyone that says to me Lord Lord shall inherit right but he's doing the will of my father watch for many in that day shall say now I don't want to hurt your feelings but the Mineola involves two people the charismatic and the Pentecostal there's nobody else doing miracles signs and wonders that we know of the Baptist's are safe they're not in that statement the Presbyterians the Church of Christ the Mormons staying in that stadium they didn't believe in Supernatural you better watch out for the folks who believe the supernatural who practiced the supernatural that's the ones that going to wake up damned on the the side of the agretti when they died thinking that signs and wonders and miracles validated their call and knowing their ministry although it didn't my friend he said many shall say to me have we not healed a sick in my name have we not cast out Devils in my name have we not done many mighty works and I need yes really says to part for me you workers of iniquity I do not never have to those stone conozco Hebrew Jana I never knew you want because you never opened your heart to me you never got naked and open with me you never got transparent with me you just used my blessings you just use my gifts you just used my anointing you better watch out we're we're pinup taken by God it's going to be a place of miracle signs or wonders we better know God before we get into that stuff since the same with me just just another mention our problem is we have gotten too intellectual knowing we've got into academic knowing I don't want to hurt you if you're here you believe this I used to believe that too but don't get on page be busy you can keep it that's great glad you do and has no idea you watch this Adel even George boots what's it I accept George Bush as my personal president but I don't know George he just uses my money to buy your d'oeuvres and play golf I don't get invited to the White House to sleep there I don't get invited to talk to George George don't ever call me George don't know me but I understand and I believe he's the president United States what someone said I believe in God you're one step ahead of a fool because the fool is said there is no gong [Applause] well I felt I just and I just fell listen when I was a young guy on is pretty I had a lot of their babes hanging around me when they hugged and kissed me I felt that didn't make them my wife it's not enough to be on the Lord we've got to come to know the Lord we've got to stay to a place and jump into a plateau higher than we've ever known God before I'm not saying we don't know I'm saying the level that we're living at is too low but BC though I'm not here to fix you I'm here to send you home I am with a homework assignment I'm dead if you always shout and all this wonderful weeping and breaking and bowing and apologize that's wonderful that's all part of our heritage that's glorious but but but what but when you leave you better come to know him you better get intimate with it listen the doc said it I was ready finally left one Scripture he didn't use and Adam your DA Eve don't you get it the product over your doll is fruit you're not hearing me yet don't get offended don't get offense we men don't get offended the Pentecostals have got a disease we are going after every human fountain to quench our thirst you miss what I just say who go to a service who's preaching who keeps him Clinton I thought the powers in the world I thought the powers in Jesus coming to make himself known I didn't know we were into this articulation by our favorite preachers I thank God for your speakers I listen to y'all listen it takes but but you don't satisfy my soul oh no you may inspire me you may challenge me well when I turn off the tape then get with the master and I say Lord I got to know you I'm dealing lush I'm dealing with anger I'm dealing with resentment I'm dealing with frustration I want to quit I don't want to go back I don't want to breathe that devil is a liar they that know their God shall be strong and they shall do exploits and that words know is you're gone before you see them look at four or five people and say hey flash now let's get honest forget all this Pentecostal stuff do you know God in the level you want to know God I'll tell you right now I don't I don't know God but I got something from the Lord the Lord has been telling me this whole conference we are on our way to emplacing we are on our way to a place where we will not be defeated we will not be discouraged we will not be intimidated why they that know their God shall be strong and they shall do x1 give me just a few moments okay we're dealing with a church god bless this church he loves the church but in all of our churches we have people who are frustrated empty anguish burned down always don't get insulted reaching for a new method going to another conference buying another set of tapes getting some more books human fountains I appreciate all your sweet people who have prayed for me all this week and come up with your arm around me patted me on the shoulder believed in me encouraged me that spent meant so much to me I want to hurt your faded questioners I can maybe inspire you and know him if you know me if you know the Mangan's if you know this church if you know acts 2:38 if you can know the whole doctrine that we say we're for and stuff we're against listen we're fussing and cussing about all the presence of these vices and these villanies in our lives that's not our problem oh we make all these rules we got a man it'll give you a hernia to pick the thing up it's got so many pages in it listen to me that's not the issue the ability and the vices are not the issue I'll go a little further video and TV and computers that's not the issue it's the absence of the person Jesus of Nazareth in fullness in our lives we've got to get God active in our lives we've got to get John operating and moving in our lives we don't have to preach against all this crazy sin if we could get people I would know the Lord please please BC I know you've heard me preach about patty she's the power behind the throne she's the queen of the huh she's the foxy redhead I'm going home hugging kissing plus the loan with you know what I like about it I know when I don't be rude it's not because we have sexual relations at all part of a marriage but I know her I just know and you know what I've reached a level now after 40 years and with the hot tomato that I know her better now than I did when I married him because my openness was there my transparency is there I'm just as married from the first year as I am I'm not more married you're not going to get more safe you're saying but what's going to happen is as you get intimate with God as you open up to God as you get to know God you get so comfortable with God I'll make it thank you I don't want to I don't want to cause some trouble just let's just stay with me Mike we reread some more than scriptures you got 819 then said they ought to hell yeah where is thy father yeah where's your father jesus answered you neither know me nor my photo Jesus have mercy these are the one God choose these are the religious people then he incense folks and the ones that are chanting it dead little bells on the bottom of the height where you been I've been to PLA oh yeah bro you must all the preacher preaches my little hell little bump in the road and you think you're max with but if you get to know go in a level of intimacy that you don't have man it won't devastate you listen to me God allow job to know him at a level I never heard this never read it didn't steal from a book got it in a motel said Joe knew me at a level I wanted to take him to a higher level so I made some things in his life guy I made him lose things he was comfortable with and then I appeared to him for four chapters and he said I've heard of thee with the hearing of the ear but now my I see it they I realized I didn't know you like I'm seeing you now guess what once you get to that level you get twice as much as you had before God will give you an abundance God will bless you you won't have to stay up at night worrying about that God owns the cattle on a Thousand Hill he owns all the taters he owns they are don't think the Palestinians own it God owns the oil he owns the gold he owns the silver all the souls of the earth are my reign saith the Lord I'm struggling I'm so sorry I'm struggling just just stay with me just tragedy tragedy three years I've been searching stretching for God to use me he used me the supernatural to a place for the benign not that I did anything see when you really get to know God at a better level you'll be the fastest person in the world to say one look ISA honestly on us as it by our holiness of our righteousness or our power we made this man whole when you find people that God blesses and uses and they are slowly giving the credit you can rest assure they know at a very low level because when God used Peter and John to heal that guy's became beautiful the minute they looked at them and tried to give him accolade the minute try to get back ladies Harry buddy Toby throw no Reid smiling oh no the cart of Israel of Abraham Isaac and Jacob has raised up his son whom you crucified and by faith in his name has given this man now this perfect soundness that's the blessing of knowing going in a great away your ego gets defeated your pride gets put in the dirt we don't stay to get your picture taken you look back and say look what the Lord has done I think a few more minutes okay I'm sorry sorry I did a study I know I saw pretty clock here Doug Klein Vince horn bastard John on COBE other people that I know that God is blessed in the miraculous supernatural listen to me it's a matter of history 1950 God brother beckon you are in August 1950 God released a flow of the Holy Ghost into the world with miracle signs and wonders Jack Cole hey Alan William Branham first Ernest the record says during the 50s and the 60s there were over 200 recorded faith healers that could validate all kinds of miracles that were done in their services now the report said in 1980 this five left what happened doing excelled being the Microsoft I'm sorry let me try to get gifting excelled godliness Gregg Scarlett really charisma top the gifts of God charisma Tom exceeded character why they didn't know God at a higher level than function keep reading for me doc I'm almost I'm almost done remember the word that I said unto you the servant is not greater than his Lord yes if they have persecuted me they will also persecute unite if they have kept my saying they will keep yours also yes but all these things will they do unto you for my namesake and because they know not him that sent me you go home to your persecution and your bumps in the road and your stuff that you just wonderfully preached on and you turn around look at that and said people in spirits and demons do this to me because they know not him we show hatred and bitterness and villainy and unkindness to the body of Christ there's a good chance that your knowing God is so minimal you're still at the entrance level they're still like a little stage where you first got the Holy Ghost and you've never grown to know or you brother mark when you get to know God in that level that I feel God is telling us you'll not be held hostage by fear you'll not be held hostage by people's opinions you'll not be intimidated by even the laws of the land he dead right Daniel that's right you better not pray or for no sacrifice of prayer any other God he opened the window and said watch this he wants to be in a rebel he knew God what is it when you know God you can turn around so if God fishes it fine if he doesn't fix it fine he's gonna send me in the lion's den here's how you can tell if you know God like your shirt the Lord I said his angel it wasn't my spirituality it wasn't my holiness it wasn't my greatness but Lord sent his angel and shut the lion's mouth okay you three Hebrews when I start with the dulcimer in the sack book and Hawk you guys have been a bow down you probably didn't hear the announcement last night I'm gonna give you one more chance okay boy hell loves to try to intimidate you you know what hell is doing house trying to see just that one level you know God we got to get rid of the diaper for gazing pinnacles we got rid of wiping everybody's little nose and ten across I get so tired of shouting and talking in tongues and having a great move of God on Sunday and by Tuesday these poor slobs act like they weren't even sane what's going on with you man why don't you grow up and get a life why don't you get to know God if you get to know God it doesn't matter what kind of hell comes in your life it doesn't matter what kind of lies are told on you nothing can separate me from the love of God no weapon formed against me shall prosper now you three Hebrews wait I know where you are I know where I am you just stay right there you're doing wonderful well you three Hebrews and you better we are not careful we're not Eric you we're not smart Alex we're just not careful to answer you okay we can't do this kind of stuff if it's just scripture knowledge you have your fudge if it's God knowledge you have hell can't get mean enough to make you first here on stand come hell or high water take your best shot whether it's finished I'm going to tell you up I may be bleeding on the ground rejoice not against me all my enemy but when I fall I shall say hey hey hey hey I shall arise and when I sit in darkness the Lord is going to be my life because a man above all down I got resurrection power inside of me I'm going to get up because I know him I'm almost done you sit down okay Reverend Mike thank you keep reading these things have I spoken unto you that ye should not be offended right they shall put you out of a synagogue right yeah the time coming that whosoever killeth you will think that he knew with God sir yeah and these things will they do I don't get your head on right now these things were they doing to you my balls they have not known the father that's the issue nor me don't fuss and cuss with all these folks that don't look and act and dress and believe like us they don't know the father like you know the father you got another one still oh you got lots of them right oh well I reckon extension and this is life eternal now this is John 17 and 3 and this is life eternal that they might know thee the only true wise God Living God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent this is life eternal I don't want her to feel in doubt it ain't acts 2:38 that's the entrance into the kingdom that's being impregnated with a divine nature of God but the divine nature of God wants to take you and I to a level of knowing that we don't know when we first talking down too many Pentecostals are living at the level of acts 2:38 now that's mandatory that's compulsory there's going away to be same without it but what she [Music] thank you you got a move on that's what God is saying to this service right now coming nobody coming know me well I do know you come on know me better nobody better I'll take care of you I'll take care of your anxiety I'll take care of your ambitions don't worry about even if I don't fix it if you know me at that level I don't have to pick I'm coming I'm gonna finish sorry business yeah I need one more script o righteous father yeah the world have not only good golly Miss Molly but I have known thee wait a minute he said now that's a pretty Gaul sister did the world ain't never known well you're getting kind of selective and singular yes I am the world doesn't know and don't know me you're living in a world that doesn't know God because the natural man receiveth not the things of God you cannot know God academically or intellectually or fleshly the right of Corinthians says what man know of anything of the man except the spirit that is in me and we cannot know the things of God except by the Spirit of God you don't really think that God wants to show us stuff beyond where we be I can tell you right now your level of knowingness is not where it ought to be neither is mine but yours is worse than mine you think I'm Kenya I'll pray for the sick heifer you womb [Applause] I'll come against devils and demons ever you woo I'll reach for the spirit I want I don't care what you do then we need tons and interpretation yes we do we need uh pterence is a prophecy yes we do we need a word of knowledge and the gift of miracles in the gift - oh yes look how quiet it is right now see you know what you've done you have married yourself to doctrine and to force yourself from deity and we get our comfort and our security for what we believe instead of what we now okay okay I'm going to close okay go ahead I've done Lao Zi I've heard myself so much better I'm unimpressed watch this same anointing oil ready same anointing oil same old man Samuel finds old soul knowing finds that little freckle-faced kid David annoying same annoying on what happens the one guy experiences you da the other guy falls in love with his position and here's how you can tell what level you're at Goliath is sent by God to see just how deep and how hide you what was all the afraid of a vet big Schmo he's got holy anointing or he's got the presence of another world because this is not he and David's got little freckle-faced yet she's done between his sandals he's running in there and maybe just yeah I take that big sloppy looking I could find me a rock I'll take this dump she said we didn't kind of cocky them oh no I know a God that helped me kill a bear and I know a God and this uncircumcised philistine ain't going to be any different you can tell where you are and knowing God by how you respond to your next trouble remain standing with me I'm I finished some time not you remember Mike I'm going to close thank you so much for helping the year very kind remember remember Balaam had a knowing at function level only that's what scares me I want that I want function I want the anointing I want to go home because the folks at home they don't know anything about this they just think we've been on some spiritual high but now I got to go home and say because every adversary is gonna look at you see you know God I'll see how deep and high you know God by how much he'll out put in front and see whether defeats you destroys you anger okay yeah you know god it gives you strength to be and to do - just do come on Mary you showed us you're sitting at his feet and Martha you're making a spaghetti dinner and I know you mean to be kinda to Jesus but if you read that scripture you know maybe I'm wrong on this but the Bible said Martha comes in and says will you talk to my sister she has left me to serve alone all my years I used to think that well Martha's in there whipping up the pancakes and stuff and Mary's in there no no left me she had been serving and she stopped serving for knowing and the one that doesn't know makes everything out of serving so when we get the Holy Ghost you know we do we don't keep pursuing knowing we go into serving God spoke to my heart as God is alive he spoke to my heart said I want you to challenge my people to change the level of their knowing me provoke them to want to know me they're not just functional we have we have a level of knowing Michael we have learned how to preach and we can teach and we can orchestrate and we can have a choir and we can run buses and God's not angry about them that we're doing what we can but we're doing it from a level that's so small in Noe so therefore the time we finish the weekend service man we have burned out we're freaked out we can't do anything we just wish to God we go bowling or play golf or whatever you allow in your life I'll tell you what big up can you just see what kind of level the dread you have for your next privy we got to leave this conference and understand that God wants to take duty and make it delight okay you ready to play for me rescue whoever's going to play give me some scary stuff I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me he said that in the midst of the storm the raining stopped nobody stopped puking the winds still blowing boats rockin he goes I believe God that's them stupid spiritual people who do that there's a hurricane going on at Aria Rocklin was my dad owns - and an angel came by oh god I weren't that at Angel's time well I'm not smart enough to make it without their help and I'm not spiritual enough to just make it on tapes and books [Music] have one more stripping like an easy to read for me I'm sorry because I felt like the Lord spoke to me and said give me home let me do it myself like I'm already there I'm sorry excuse me brother Williams like fun here's what the Lord spoke
