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

John 14, verse 15, if you love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father,

and he'll give you another helper that he may abide with you forever.

Verse 17, the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him.

Does not just say the world cannot receive Holy Spirit.

It says why.

The world cannot receive him because it cannot see him and it cannot know him.

You cannot know what you cannot see him and it cannot know him.

You cannot know what you cannot see,

and you cannot receive what you do not know or see.

So the reason he brings us into Revelation knowledge is to position us to receive,

to receive, not not to simply encounter but to move into exchange the encounters is becoming too much of a catchphrase encounters becoming too much of a buzzword

it's becoming the word people And what's happening is people are

bumping up against things and then never making an exchange. When I met my wife, I didn't just

encounter her. I begin to position myself to receive her. And what happens oftentimes in the

move of the spirit, people get around revival and they bump up against something they find to be exciting,

but some receive permission to see and to know, and if you receive permission to see and know,

you have then in turn to receive permission to receive.

Now, if you see and if you know and you don't move into receiving, you'll live in a codependent

dysfunctional cycle where you spend all of your life trying to once again bump up against

what you never paid the price to receive.

All right.
