SHAWN: I will say this. That as I’m training you or teaching you in just a few minutes of inspiration that God really wants to give away this ability to hear his voice for the world around us because it’s the quickest way for people to be grounded in who He is. They’ll read the Bible forever if they feel like they know the God of the Bible. They’ll seek out Jesus forever if they feel like they know that Jesus personally is talking to them. And He gives words to people all the time who don’t get saved through our ministry and through our friends and it’s just another seed sown but man when they get saved and they remember all the times that God spoke to them, as a matter of fact, you know we gave the word to the girl in Honolulu if you read the book ‘translating God,” it was a little prostitute girl who is no longer a prostitute that we gave a word to that many of you just heard this story about. But she was a girl who I asked her to listen to God and I said what is God telling you about your future” Let’s ask Him about your calling. And she heard from God. I didn’t hear from God for her. So it’s not only transferrable but even people who aren’t saved under our tutelage, under our like just spending time with them are going to hear from God. You’re going to be an intercessor for the whole world around you. So I want to talk a little bit about “words of knowledge” specifically. That’s what was on my heart to teach today and just share with you today because I feel like this is a lost art in the body of Christ. As a matter of fact we’ve so advocated the position that when I do it many people will accuse who haven’t been around me before like that’s “cold reading.” Haven’t you heard of Jonathan Edwards” Haven’t you heard of and I’m just laughing going haven’t you ever heard of Jesus! He was way before Jonathan Edwards!

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHING]

SHAWN: Way before these spiritists and these you know people who do all kinds of other stuff. And I just feel like when you look at the scriptures of the Bible how Jesus modeled ministry many times He would say one or two words that someone would respond by saying He knew everything about me! And He knew one detail but they were in a crowd of people that was big enough that all of a sudden they felt so known and connected to the God of all the universe right then. First Corinthians 14:1 says: Follow love like your life depends on it and eagerly desire prophecy. Now this is cool because when you think about like following the love all is that means is the same way you love your kids, the same way you love your spouse, the same way you love your neighbor as your friends you apply that kind of love. You borrow from that bank of love and you apply it to people who aren’t saved or that you don’t know. Maybe there are people in your church who are saved but you apply that same kind of love.
