  Speaker 1: Don't waste any energy trying to change the natural man's mind.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: He's operating in the realm of his senses. You're operating
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in the realm of the spirit. He cannot judge you.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He cannot touch you. He can talk about you like
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you're a yellow-bellied sailfish, but he cannot judge you because
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you are operating in a dimension that he's underdeveloped in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and he cannot stop you. I'm telling you, they cannot
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: curse what God has blessed. This is the part of touch.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Sarita Jakes. And what a delight it is
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: for me to be visiting in your home, on your job,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in your hospital rooms today to bring you the glorious
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: gospel of Jesus Christ. You're going to be blessed.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Watch this. You will notice when Elijah started praying for rain,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Bible said he put his head between his knees.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: For me, the feeling of putting your head in between
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: your knees is to shut out outside voices. You may
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: have too many people talking and too much noise, too
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: many people influencing you to hear what the Holy Spirit
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is saying and you get it wrong. Because people by
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: nature are manipulators. I mean even nice people. I mean,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: even good, sweet, kind, soft-spoken people are manipulators. I mean,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: little three-year-olds are manipulators. Everybody who had a three-year-old started laughing.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Because them little nice little three-year-olds, the little with the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: fine little dimples and cheeks, he is just as sneaky
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: as all get out. And they will manipulate you. And
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: if they don't get through to you, they will go
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to your husband and manipulate him. They will work one
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: against the other at five. Mama don't care if I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: go outside. They ain't me ass, mama. Where did they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get them sneaky classes from? They are manipulators by nature.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Now you know if a nice little five-year-old can be
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a manipulator, you know a 25-year-old. So what happens when
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: your life is the end result of a series of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: being influenced by manipulators? I'm going to get off of that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Verse 12. Now we have received not the spirit of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the world, but the spirit which is of God, that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we might know the things which are freely given to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: us of God. That's what we want to know. That's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what I want to know. What are the things that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: are freely given to us of God? What did you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: give me? What have you purposed for me? What can
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I do? What can I be? Lord, don't let me
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: spend 20 years trying to be something that I wasn't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. Don't let me work my hind end
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: off trying to shape myself into something that you never
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: wanted me to be in the first place. Teach me
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to be appreciative and celebrate who I am. Because I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: getting older. I don't have time to spend the rest
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of my life running around trying to turn into something
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that I am not so that you will like me better.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I'm too old for that. Go ahead and dislike me.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I would rather be out of favor with you and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in favor with God. I want to know the things
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that are freely given to me of God so that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I can enjoy them. It could be possible that I've
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: been left a supernatural inheritance and I'm starving to death
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for the lack of something that he has given to me,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but it has not been revealed apocalypse unto me because
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Jacob was right in the midst of a son he
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was grieving for. Grieving for Joseph. But he did not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know Joseph until the Bible said, and Joseph revealed himself
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to his brother. You could be in the midst of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the best years of your life and be missing it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: because it is not revealed unto you what God has
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: available unto you. Somebody else could be in your life
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and be happy. Oh, God. I'm not going to fool
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: with you. This is going to get good in a minute.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Hang in there with me. So that we might know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the things which are freely given to us of God.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And for me, that's important so that I'm not running
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: off to stuff that's not freely given. Because you have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to work too hard to get stuff that's not yours.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Glory to God. Oh, I wish I could really just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get down in it. That's a lot of work trying
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to get something that's not yours and sneak it and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: steal it and dodge it and fight for it if
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it's not yours. When it's yours, I don't care who
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: else is holding it. They're going to have to give
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it up when it's yours. Once you know the purpose
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of God in your life, you got to start speaking
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it every day. Don't just know it intellect, but turn
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it into information. Start speaking out the things of God.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You get something out of knowing it, but you get
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: another level out of speaking it. When you line up
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: your speech with what you know, you bring yourself in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: alignment with God's purpose. You shoot out like a rocket
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: because you don't have any deviations or discrepancies. You are directed.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No deviations, no discrepancies, just directed by the Holy Spirit.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: No deviations. Say that with me. No deviations, no discrepancies,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just direction. That's what you want for this year of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: your life. No deviations, no discrepancies, just direction for your life.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That's what you want. No deviations. Don't sidetrack me. No discrepancies.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Don't try to pull me down into confusion and chaos.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I want direction for this year in my life. Oh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this is good. This is good. This is good. This
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is good. Okay, so he said, comparing spiritual things with
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: spiritual things. But the natural man receiveth not the things
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of the Spirit of God, for there are foolishness unto him,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He said, what God is going to say to you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: will go against the natural grain. You know you've been
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talking to God when it doesn't make any sense to you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: The natural man cannot receive the things of God because
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the natural man depends on senses for information. The natural
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: man is informed through his eyes, through his ears, through
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: his taste, through his smell. All of that is sensual.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between sensual and sexual. Now, sexual is sensual,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but you don't have to be sexual to be sensual.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Sensual means that all the information you get is coming
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: through your five senses. When God starts speaking to you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in another dimension, it defies your senses and it doesn't
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: make sense to you. Y'all don't hear me. It doesn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: make sense to march around a wall every day for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: six days and seven times on the seventh day and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: then blow a trumpet and the wall will come down.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to take two fish and five
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: loaves of bread and give it to 5,000 people and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: feed 5,000 men, not to mention women and children. It
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for me to step off the safety
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of a boat into a tornado and walk on the water.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It does not make sense. that I could be running
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: out of everything but a handful of meal and bake
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a cake for the man of God first. That doesn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: make sense. And when you start telling people stuff like that,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: people at work and people you're related to and people
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you're connected to, they say you're crazy, you're in a cult,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you lost your mind, you have a nervous breakdown, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they don't mean no harm. It doesn't make sense. Faith
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: never meant to make sense. It was never designed to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: make sense. It does not need the sensual. It needs
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the spiritual. Oh my God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's what you want.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You want a spiritual ability to be able to be
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: informed on another level. And you have it. You're just
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not using it. You have it. You're just not using it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You who walked into a room and just felt funny
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and didn't know why and said, I'm leaving. That's spiritual.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Everybody in here has it. You're just not developing it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You're just not using it, but you do have it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That spiritual ability to know something's wrong with your child.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And they haven't said anything, but you know in your
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: spirit that something's wrong with her. I don't care how
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: she grins and how she laughs. Down in your spirit,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you have it. You're not using it. You walked in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a room and.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: That's the realm that the Holy Spirit wants to interact
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: with you. That may be underdeveloped. You may not have
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: used it to its highest degree, but you can work
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it out. There's a scripture in Hebrew that I don't
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: have time to look for it right now. But it
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: talks about your spiritual senses being exercised by reason of use.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And what that literally means, the word exercise is the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: same word that we get gymnasium from. It means you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: need to take your spiritual senses to the gym and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: work them out. They will get stronger if you use them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: If you would stop always talking to people you can see.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And start talking to the God that you cannot see.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: As you exercise your spiritual senses. They get stronger. Don't
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: think that you're not spiritual. And you can't be spiritual.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You are spiritual. You're just not working out. I can
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: bring a little skinny itty bitty fellow up here. Just
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: weighs 78 pounds soaking wet. And you'll say he don't
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have as much muscles as a bodybuilder. He does. He
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: has every muscle the bodybuilder has. He just has not
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: worked it out by reason of use. You have it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You are not using it. You're... But he that is
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judge of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: no man. For who has known the mind of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: mind of Christ. When you walk in the spirit, you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: can judge. He's operating in the realm of his senses.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You're operating in the realm of the spirit. He cannot
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: judge you. He cannot touch you. He can talk about
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you like you're a yellow-bellied sailfish, but he cannot judge
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you because you are operating in a dimension that he's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: underdeveloped in and he cannot stop you. I'm telling you,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: they cannot curse what God has blessed. When I came
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: here to Dallas to pastor a church, there were a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: group of pastors signing petitions to have me run out
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of town. I didn't try to stop the petition. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: didn't call not one of them. I heard them talking
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: about me on the radio while I was driving home.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: They were preaching about me like I had a big
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: old tail or something on the back of me. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was driving and laughing because I knew who sent me
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to Dallas. And when God sends you to Dallas, you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: don't have to be responsible. Why would I waste my
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: preaching time talking about you when God sent me here
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to talk about him? I thought if you want to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: get on the radio and talk about me and pay
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: all them bills talking about me, that's the fool it
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is in you. If I get on the radio, I'm
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: not going to waste time talking about you. I'm going
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to be on the radio talking about Jesus because I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: know who I am. I know who I am and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: no weapon formed against me shall be able to prosper.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And every tongue that rises against me, the book said
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: God will condemn. Tell somebody, say, I'm in another dimension. See,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: anybody who's back at the house fussing at me, somebody
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: give God any kind of praise you got.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Still to come. On the Potter's Touch.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Don't fake it. Don't fake it. Just don't fake it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Just don't fake it. Don't fake it. Nobody's going to,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You don't have to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: be ignorant. It's a choice. You can fix it. Why
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: would you fake something you can fix?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Have you ever wanted to discover the difference between God's
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: desires and yours?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Or learn how the Holy Spirit reveals the deep things
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of God?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: God has a specific plan for you.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: His desire is for you to discover His will and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to receive the fullness of His blessings.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is our central intelligence agent. It's our CIA.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You're making decisions based on the past and the present.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit makes decisions knowing the past, the present,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and the future. Your life is a direct reflection of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: whose voice you listen to.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Desire, pray, and believe.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You will receive it. When you write us, visit our website,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: or call 1-800-BISHOP-2, you'll be given CIA The Spirit Speaks
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: on three DVDs.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Tune in to the hidden wisdom the Holy Spirit has
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: for your life today.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: One of the worst things in the world you can
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: waste is time. And when you put all those energies
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: trying to stop people who are functioning in another dimension...
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You're wasting time. You have to have enough faith to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: believe that he that has began a good work in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you should perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: If God calls me to do something and you can
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: stop it, God didn't call me. Because if God really
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: called me, there is no way you can stop me
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: from doing what God called me to do. Quite honestly,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I've tried it. I can't stop it. Do you understand
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the words that are coming out of my mouth? That's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: how strong it is. When God has something for you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to do, you can't mess it up. Ask Jonah. You
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: can't mess it up. You can get in a boat
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and head in the wrong direction. You can get thrown
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: off the boat and swallowed up by a fish. But
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: when everything's said and done, you're still going to have
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to go to Nineveh because God is God and beside
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: him there is no other. 13 people tell them I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: got the CIA. I got a central intelligence agent. I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: got an agent working on my behalf. I got an
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: agent that warns me, shuts doors, closes down relationships, opens
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: up opportunities. You're not just fooling with me by myself.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I got the CIA. You better not mess with me today.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God. Look
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: at the people that tried to curse you and you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: still made it. I'm not going to bother you. I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: not going to bother you. Let me stop. Let me stop.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I feel something in here. Have you ever known something
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and didn't know how you knew it, but God got
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you out just in time? That's the moving of the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit down in you. It doesn't have to be
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: tongues to be the Holy Spirit. Let's go to 1
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Corinthians 12. Since we're in Corinthians, let's hang out in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: there a minute. This is good. Now concerning, verse 1,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Underline that right there. Concerning spiritual gifts, I would not
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: have you ignorant. Concerning spiritual intelligence, I would not have
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you ignorant. That means you can be saved and be ignorant.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: We know this. Shall I elaborate on that? You can
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: be saved and be ignorant. Uninformed. Too lazy to do
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: what it takes to be intelligent. And ignorant people are dangerous.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Because you know what? Ignorant people don't want to admit
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that they're ignorant. So they fake smart. And if you're
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: not careful, they will wreck you because they will give
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you falsified information trying to act like they know what
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they're doing and they don't. There is nothing worse than
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to get the advice of a fool. The Bible says
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it this way, Psalms 1. One blessed is a man
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. It's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: saying don't listen at a fool. That's just another way
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: of saying don't listen at a fool. Do you not
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: know a fool will try to teach you? I mean,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it'd be all right if a fool would just be
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: foolish and just sit around and sit on the floor
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and eat cotton and something, you know, wear a big
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: old hat and say, I'm stupid. They don't do that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: They put on a professor's uniform. They want to have
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a title. They want to have a position. They want
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to be in control. They'll try to rap to you,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: try to marry you, try to sweep you off your feet.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But you have to have enough sense to know when
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: something is ignorant. Now concerning spiritual gifts, Paul says, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: would not have you be ignorant. Here's the tragedy of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: being ignorant. You don't have to be. If you don't
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: know how to read, you can learn how to read.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: If you don't know algebra, you can learn algebra. Away
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: with that demon that told you you just can't do it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: The devil is alive. You may learn differently, but it
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't learn equally. Being ignorant is a choice.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: He said concerning spiritual gifts, I would not have you
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: be ignorant. You have an option. It's not my fault
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that you don't study. It's not my fault that you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: won't come to class. You won't be trained. You don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: take notes. You don't write down anything. You're not serious.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: When you get serious, you can stop being ignorant. Being
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: ignorant is an option you chose. Concerning spiritual gifts, he says,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I will not have you ignorant. That means that you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: could be ignorant. Okay? You got that. We're good with that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: We got the ignorant thing down. Yeah, we got that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We got that. We're good, Bishop. I'm going to run
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that ignorant spirit right out the room. I'm going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: chase it out with a broom. You know why I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: want to chase it out so bad? Because I see
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: people who are ignorant spending 10 years trying to fake smart.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: When if you just take one year off and get
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: some training, you could go ahead. No, y'all don't understand.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Touch three people and say, don't fake the funk. Don't,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: don't fake it. Don't fake it. Just don't fake it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Just don't fake it. Don't fake it. Nobody's going to,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You don't have to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: be ignorant. It's a choice. You can fix it. Why
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: would you fake something you can fix? I threw that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: in for free. It wasn't even in my notes. I'm
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not even going to charge you for that. You can
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: take that home with you. Look at your neighbor and say,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be ignorant. That's a choice. One
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: year off to sharpen your axe and you'll be more
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: effective the next 25 years. And instead of doing that,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you're just going to be important and stupid. I'm telling you,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: we are dying at the hands of people who want
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to be important and... Dr. James doesn't say stuff like that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: She said the other day, she was speaking, she said,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say a bad word. And she finally said, stupid.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh girl, that's not even close. Yeah. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: could beat that all in the head. You're not even close.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I could set it off in here. Okay, I'm back.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: He would not have me be ignorant. Okay. Look at this.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: But the manifestation of the spirit is given to every
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: man to profit with all. It's given to every man
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to profit with all. This is talking about born again people.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: For to one is given by the spirit the word
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of wisdom and to another the word of knowledge by
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the same spirit. Now all of that is intelligence. One
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: of them is wisdom and the other one is knowledge.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: To know. To know through the spirit. You're not getting
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it through your ears, through your eyes, through your senses.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: We're not getting it through the senses. You just know
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it in your spirit. You have intelligence in your spirit.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Intelligent information has been released into your spirit and you
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just know it. I cannot tell you. It would be
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: real personal to do it. I could tell you I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: not going to do it. But you'd be shocked at
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the times in my life and in the years that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we've been married that from time to time God has
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: given me supernatural intelligence and a word of knowledge about
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a situation One time I sat straight up in the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: bed and told my wife, we got the wrong one.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I don't, I just sat straight up in the bed
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and I knew that we thought it was this person
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and it was that person. I don't know how I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: knew it. I just knew it. I just knew it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Anybody else relate to that? I just, just said one
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: time I was pastor preaching in this church and a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: group of people walk in the room and the whole
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: side of my body went dark and cold. It just
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: blacked out on me. And that person brought a whole
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: lot of evil. I don't know how I knew it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I knew it. I'm giving you some examples of how
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the spirit will give you information that when you get
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: ready to explain to people, it doesn't make any sense
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: because it's not coming through your senses. It's coming through
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: your spirit. I'm trying to help you to define which
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: level you're getting information on.
