Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

Go with me back to 2nd Samuel 7.

I really have been in an interesting place today.

Pentecostal preaching is typically reiteration.

The Pentecostal preaching is basically nothing more than the reiteration of basic principles given in the package of the personality of the individual delivering it.

And it hasn't got us very far.

It's enjoyable, but it hasn't gotten, how many of you would admit?

It hasn't gotten us very far.

So there is now a permission to move into a to entrance into some mysteries the issue with the mysteries

is oftentimes you're introducing them to people who know they crave and were designed for

mysteries but the mysteries are often offensive to their sensibilities when they're first encountered.

So even those of us that are in the charismatic frame of the kingdom perspective or kingdom dynamic,

a lot of times what we're calling mysteries is not actually mysteries

what it actually is is more reiteration of principles in a bit more mysterious

package actual mysteries make you stop and usually at first say I'm not sure

about that and I'm okay with mysteries

that make you stop and say

I'm not sure about that.

Because I'm here to present mysteries, not theories.

The difference between it being a mystery and a theory

is I've already proven it works.

In life.
