The People That Do Know Their God
Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: The church today is filled with people who sing about God and talk about God: But the clarion call of the Spirit today is for those who Know God personally (who are living in his presence and walking in his power).
But I love the word of God:
"God is awesome"
It's like God stands to the side and says Take your best-shot devil
Then the announcer gives you blow-by-blow coverage of all the damage that the devil does. Then Jesus leans back and turns it loose) one-shot and knocks the devil out cold.
And shows you that he is still the champ
He is large and in charge
He is still the boss
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof
Now if the Holy Ghost will help me for a few minutes: I want to bring you to the heart of this message.
This is really what the Holy Spirit burned in my heart for us today (everything else was just to bring us to this point)
“But”
(That one little word) changes the whole picture
(That word means) now that you've heard everything else, understand that what is coming next will eclipse the rest.
It is a word that tells me, what is coming next is greater, more powerful, and more significant than everything that preceded it.
So here after all the bad report is that one little game changer (the word but)
But: (It means) regardless of the darkness, regardless of the evil the wickedness, the violence, the lawlessness, the corruption. God still has a people
The Bible says by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people
Or Many exploits
The devil is trying to manipulate us and intimidate and back the church into a comer
He's trying to emasculate the church and strip us of our spiritual power and our spiritual virility) he's trying to make spiritual wimps out of us and make us spiritually impotent and powerless
“But”
But there is a people
There is a people who do know their God
*There is a people that aren't selling out
*There is a people who aren’t compromising
*There is a people who aren’t playing footsies with the spirit of worldliness *
*There is a people who are not sleeping with this harlot spirit, and they are not laying their head in the lap of Delilah.
There is a people that do know their God and the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
I Believe I'm talking to some of those people right now: I believe I’m talking to some people who know God.
We know how to get a hold of God:
We have a relationship with him He knows our voice
He knows us by name
If you don't know him that way today: I wouldn't leave without asking him to come into your heart.
I wouldn't leave without knowing that you're on talking terms with the master.
This world is a dark place and getting worse all the time: The only safe place there is (is in Jesus)
He is our cleft in the rock He is our hiding place
He is our strong tower He is our defender
He is our deliverer
He is our captain
Do you know him? I mean know him, do you walk together, talk together, fellowship, commune with each other.
My advice to you today is: Get to know him (Because if you know him, you won't be deceived, If you know him you won't get carried away with flatteries, and fleshly desires.
And if you know him:
Instead of backing up and hiding out and quieting down
