Welcome to Power in the Word! This episode is on "The People That Do Know Their GOD (Part 1 of 3)". Be blessed as you listen!
Frequently Asked Questions about this episode:
1. What is the central message of the sermon based on Daniel 11:32?
The core message revolves around the idea that those who truly know their God "shall be strong and do exploits." This isn't just about passive faith but active, powerful engagement with life. It emphasizes that knowing God leads to strength and the ability to achieve significant things in various aspects of life.
2. According to the sermon, What are the "four powers" that shape individuals?
The four powers are: the power of who you know (association), the power of what you know (knowledge), the power of what you do with what you know (wisdom), and the power of where you are located (your placement in the world). These are key factors in how people manifest their purpose and potential.
3. How does the sermon differentiate between knowledge and wisdom, and why is this distinction important?
The sermon defines knowledge as the ability to gather information, while wisdom is the capacity to analyze, process, and use information productively. This distinction is crucial because simply acquiring knowledge is insufficient. True power and success come from applying knowledge wisely, not just accumulating it.
4. How does the sermon connect Daniel 11:32 to the present day?
The sermon asserts that the current era is the time for the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel 11:32, citing the increase in wickedness and corruption as evidence. It positions the present as a period for Christians to demonstrate their faith not through mere attendance to church activities but through active displays of God's power and purpose.
5. What does the sermon say about the nature and power of God?
The sermon portrays God as omnipotent, stating that He created the heavens and the earth, can do anything, and that there is nothing too hard for him. It emphasizes that God lacks nothing and gives everything to everyone. He is described as the creator of all things, both visible and invisible, and the Lord of heaven and earth. It urges people to believe that with this God, impossible things can become possible.
6. What does the sermon imply about the relationship between faith and action?
The sermon strongly suggests that faith should not be passive. It stresses that knowing God should propel believers to action and lead them to do exploits. It is a time to test spiritual capacity. It says, for example, that one should say “Amen” like someone about to do exploits. This means that a true relationship with God is demonstrated through practical action and manifestation of one's gifts, purpose, and calling. The time is now for those who know their God to live by faith, and to refuse negative emotions.
7. What is the key message the sermon emphasizes about the current time about the fulfillment of biblical prophecies?
The sermon suggests that the current time is a period of fulfillment of prophecy, specifically referencing the increase in wickedness and corruption as signs. It asserts that this is the moment to test the authenticity of one's Christian faith. It is not about the number of church activities but how well you know God and therefore how much you are ready to do exploits. This makes the time now very significant for believers.
