Spirit-Infused Revelation

| How can you explain how each daily scripture in this book offers the opportunity to receive Holy Spirit revelation? | |
| Do you understand what I'm saying? | |
| Oh, yeah, absolutely. | |
| You know, I feel like I wrote the book under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the sense that I didn't just logically try to think things through, even though I tried to be practical enough so that people could grab hold of the principles. | |
| But I feel like that it's an anointed book, and that when people read it, it's going to resonate. | |
| You know, anything that has the anointing on it, it reaches into the depths of our spirit. | |
| In other words, you know, if a, for instance, we've heard, if a man preaches from his intellect, he's going to touch the intellect of people. | |
| But if a person preaches from the spirit realm, Jesus said, my words, they are spirit and they are life. | |
| And I actually wrote that book, and I believe that it's going to stir the spiritual being of people. | |
| I want to just say one thing. | |
| As we were talking earlier about the fact of the present-day natural court system operation that you guys are in and getting everything in order and answering the legal questions and all those kind of things, I was reminded of something in 2 Samuel 16, because this is the principle I use in the courts of heaven. | |
| 2 Samuel 16, when David is run out of Jerusalem by his son Absalom, as he's leaving, a man named Shimei, who accused David of having killed Saul unrighteously, which David didn't do, but he accused him of it anyway. | |
| I mean, it's interesting. | |
| David was guilty of some things, but he wasn't guilty of what this guy was accusing him of. | |
| And Abisha says, let me go take his head off. | |
| And I want to read what David said. | |
| It said, if God commanded him to curse, let him curse. | |
| And then it says in verse 12, it may be that the Lord will look on my affliction and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing this day. | |
| And I have learned how to take the cursings of people and bring them into the courts of heaven as evidence in my behalf. | |
|
Bringing Threats as Evidence

|
| David said, I bring this man's cursing before you, and I ask that on the basis of his cursing, you would show me good. | |
| This is really what they did in Acts 4, whenever Peter and John had been told not to preach anymore in the name of Jesus. | |
| And they came back and they gathered the company together. | |
| And it says, they said, Lord, behold their threats. | |
| And they took the threats that was being brought against them and they presented them as evidence and asked for a decision out of heaven in their behalf. | |
| See, not only do we bring the promises of God and the word of God and all this written in the books of heaven, we actually can bring the criticisms, the threats, the words against us, | |
