#696 - Joseph Prince - Be Occupied With The Word Not The Enemy - Part 1

If your heart is open to God and you want to know what God is saying to you, God can use means but it's always by the Word of God, amen? The enemy is afraid of seeing you spend time in the Word, studying the Word with a teachable heart, amen. God can teach people who are teachable. Bible call it "meek," amen.

People are easily instructed. And when you learn you receive... there's a, hah, that experience. I want you to experience that warm heart, that warm heart that comes out of revelation, amen? Not knowledge that puffs up, but the revelation. Sometimes I'll say this to God before I open the Bible. I'll just say, "Father, speak to me through your Word. Let me see Jesus," amen? "Grant me seeing eyes and a hearing heart". And I know, and I say this, "Lord," even as I'm preparing my message, "I'm coming to your Word not to accumulate knowledge, amen, but grant me that revelation".

So knowledge is of the mind, a faculty of the mind, and it can puff you up. "Oh, I know about this. I know this, I know this". There are those can go to seminaries or theological centers and all that and they can learn without encountering the Lord. What you want is revelation knowledge. What you need is a revelation knowledge.
