New Beginnings - the Hidden Manna I — George Warnock

Father, we lift up the totality of our being, a singleness of vision and a singleness, Lord, of purpose, our lives submitted, our lives, Lord, available. And I ask this morning, Lord, and in the coming days, a special anointing of impartation of your word, of your desire.

And I thank you, Lord. Oh, I thank you, Lord. Father, in Jesus' name, I ask, Lord, that we be quickened, anointed, enabled, Lord, to hear that the word will fall into fertile soil prepared. I thank you, Lord.

Father, we sanctify this time, our brothers with us, we sanctify it, we separate ourselves from the earth, from the mundane. We lift up our being into the spiritual, into an apprehending of you, Lord, in the totality of your being.

Father, in the authority of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we push back principality, power, every hindrance, every negative factor, that which would hinder in any way, we render null and void in Jesus' name.

Father, we release a flow of enabling grace, of anointing in both the expression and the reception of your word. I thank you, Lord. And I ask, Lord, brother and sister Warnock, while they're here, a special working of your grace, of your love, of your purpose within them and upon them in the furthering of their work and ministry.

I thank you, Lord. Oh, hallelujah. Father, in Jesus' name, have your way in these services, in this special time. I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. And I would ask, Lord, that you, Lord, be very present in all, for we acknowledge you, for you've said, Lord, that if you are lifted up, that all men will be drawn.

And I thank you. Direct us, guide us now, Lord, and in all, carefully, we give you the glory. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Amen. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Spiritual Perception Beyond Human Intellect

That which is born of the flesh can only be comprehended or understood through the intellect, and it stops there. And it's limited by our intellectual capacities, which are rather limited in perception and our ability to really understand.

But that which is born of the Spirit, and I can honestly say and rejoicingly say this morning, our brother George Warnock is born as a man that's born of the Spirit. And he's born up into a place of vision where he sees beyond many that are contemporaries.

Remember Brother Follett one time saying that when he was young and was able to go out, that there was not the doors, the open doors of receptivity, because people just didn't understand. And some years later, a lady said to me, she said, do you know what was wrong with John Wright Follett?

And I said, why? She said, he was born 50 years too soon. In other words, he saw beyond this day. And in the restoration of the word of the purpose of God in bringing forth, the Lord has those that are seers, that see beyond.

Our brother George Warnock is a seer. He sees beyond the present day, far beyond it. And if we're going to receive that which is born of the flesh is flesh, if you try to listen with your intellect, you're going to lose it.

If you listen with your spirit and believe that the word is going to fall into fertile soil, that word will germinate and become a part of your being, and you'll understand. Brother Warnock, you're free to express yourself.

There's no clock, the bells are shut off, and you're free. And Lord bless you. And all you've got to do is turn. Well, it's good to be here. Trust it. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God, for I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The Hidden Wisdom of God Versus Human Wisdom

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that is perfect, full-grown, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to know. We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a secret, even the hidden wisdom which God foreordained before the world unto our glory, which none of the princes of this world knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written, and he's talking about the things that he's speaking, as it is written, the things that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him, that God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God, or the depths of God, not just things about God, but God's very depths, the depths in God's own being.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God. We have received not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God, which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are a foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned, but he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of all things.

Knowledge Must Become Truth, Love, and Vision

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him, but we have the mind of Christ? The Lord has a lesson to emphasize this morning, and perhaps in the days to come, that God desireth truth in the inward part, and that it's not enough to have knowledge, but knowledge must become truth, if I can use that kind of expression.

We know things, Paul says we all have knowledge, we all have a certain amount of knowledge, one area or another. Then he went on to say, but knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up. It says in the Authorized Version, knowledge puffeth up, but love edifyeth, and you sort of lose what he's saying, because the word edify simply means to build up.

So what he's saying is, knowledge will puff up and get very big, but there's no more in it if it's puffed up, and before it was puffed up, but love buildeth up, and so that there's an addition, there's always an addition to true knowledge, if it is producing that love, you see, love buildeth up.

And I think there's a great over-balance in the Church in this area, because there's no doubt an awful lot of knowledge in the Church, and I'm not referring to false things, there's a lot of real knowledge in the Church, but I think there's a great unbalance, because in spite of all the knowledge, there's still a great need for love.

What is it? It's puffed up. I remember reading what A. W. Tozer said one time, and I never forgot it, something to this effect, that if it was in teaching, if it was in Bible knowledge, if it was in learning, I mean, true Christian learning, this would be the most spiritual era of the Church.

But he said, if history goes on, this era will no doubt go down in history as the greatest era of Babylonian captivity in the history of the Church, and yet you never saw so many good books and tapes and songs.

He says, what is it? I went on reading, because I was curious what his concept would be, and he says, I think it's lack of vision. We have the knowledge, but somehow our vision is muddied. As far as I'm concerned, I believe God gives us a little knowledge, he's pleased to impart knowledge to us, but his purpose in imparting knowledge is to give us that vision.

This is what I want. I'm showing you that this is what I want, instead of that becoming another doctrine that we can glory in, instead of a vision to pursue. So I just throw these things out and trust that the Lord will quicken that to your hearts, that in our quest after knowledge, and certainly we come to a place like this to get to know more, that in our quest after knowledge, our real desire will be that that which God reveals becomes something operative within us, not just something to delight our hearts and minds as we hear it or read it, but something God wants us to enter into.

Not denying, of course, that we have to wait for many things. And I'm not saying everything that we say or that is said from this place is something that you, you know, I must go home and have it operative, I'm not saying that.

But that everything that is said by the Spirit, I believe God would build into our hearts and lives until it becomes a part of us, in one realm or another. Because even if you have it in the realm of faith, it's still real.

Faith, Abraham, and the Promise Yet to Be Fulfilled

Sometimes we're inclined to think, well, faith, you know, like the little guy said, what's faith? Said the little Sunday school boy. Oh, he says, believe in what ain't. Well, it's not really that way.

It's believe in what is. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence. It's substance and it's evidence. It's real. Maybe you're not laying hold on it in the way you would like, but it's still very real.

I didn't intend to get into this matter of faith, but I want to, Lord willing. Faith is real. Substance of what you're hoping for. So that if you and I die without really appropriating many, many things that we believe and are expecting and anticipating, if there's real faith for it, we won't really miss out on anything.

Because Abraham never did enter in to the fullness of that for which he was hoping. These all died in faith, not having received the promise. That is, not having seen the fulfillment of it, but embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims in the earth.

Nevertheless, they were looking for something, they were believing for something far beyond that which they had received. For Abraham, see, did receive the land of Canaan, became their inheritance and all that.

And Abraham walked through the land, lived in the land. He lived in Canaan for much of his life. So did Isaac and Jacob. And still he realized, yeah, I know God promises this and so I'm wondering at it.

But there was something there that didn't quite satisfy. His great longing was, and oh God, let me possess this land, please, before I die. He looked for a city that had foundations, was builder and maker with God.

And Abraham, the one man who was picked out of all characters in the Old Testament, all these great men of faith, Moses, David, Joshua, name them. Abraham is the one man that is picked out of all those men as the father of all who believe.

What did he do? I think he had a little battle with some people that come up and captured Lot and his family. But he didn't do much, as I know of. But he walked with God. Received promises and embraced the promises.

Wondered about as a pilgrim and stranger. Never did receive what he was really looking for. But all the while he was here, he looked for a city that had foundations, was builder and maker with God. And so may God lead us in a way that will cause us to seek him that that which we know might become more experiential.

Even if it's in the realm of faith for now. But certainly it has to be in the realm of faith before it will come in a higher and all abideth faithful charity. And the greatest is charity. And that's the ultimate, and let's always keep that in mind.

Love as the Ultimate Goal of Ministry

People say, oh yeah, we've got to have love, you know. Got to get these gifts working. Got to have love, but you've got to have all these... Well, as if love was sort of something comes in, you know, to give us a little boost.

Instead of that being the total ultimate, the total ultimate of our pursuit after God. And the reason we don't evaluate it as we should is simply because we haven't seen much of it functioning. But when we come to see the tremendous power and glory in love, it'll be something that will never rest until we come into it.

Love is God, and God brings us to that. So certainly we need the gifts, and certainly we need the ministries, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But the purpose of all these ministries is to edify the body of Christ.

To go out and in and working in the body of Christ and the earth is the fullness of God's love, which is the total answer to every human need. Total answer. The ministries are not the answer. The ministry has got the vision to impart to God's people that which they need in order to grow in Him.

Come to the fullness, come to that fullness that God desires. So may God begin to work in us that process whereby the knowledge He gives us becomes faith and vision and hope, expectation. Not just something to tuck away in our minds is another thing that we learn, but something to swallow.

Something we chew on and it tastes good, sweet in the mouth, but in swallowing it, it becomes bitter. The Passover lamb, they were to feast upon it. Roasted in the fire, they had to feast upon it. But it was roasted with bitter herbs.

It had to be eaten with bitter herbs. So we like the glorious gospel without the herbs. The bitter herbs. But not so if you're partaking of the Passover lamb. It's good. It's life-giving. But with bitter herbs shall you eat it.

Because it's in eating of the bitter herbs that all that bitterness of your old life is removed. It's in eating of the bitter herbs that the bitterness of the old life is removed. You've heard the old saying, I don't like this medicine, I know.

It's bitter, I know. But if it isn't bitter, it won't do you any good. So the bitterness is intended to remove the bitterness. It's sweet in his mouth. And he'd like to keep it there. David said it was like honey in his mouth.

Sweeter than honey in the honeycomb. But David swallowed it too. And that's why we have the Book of Psalms. Because in the Book of Psalms we have the outpouring of the travail of David's soul as he went through deep waters of bitterness and trouble.

To the point where God, why have you forsaken me? What's this all about? Perhaps little did he realize that he was to be in a small way, sort of a prototype of his great, great, great, great grandson that was to come, the Lord Jesus.

Many of the things that he uttered really belonged to the Lord Jesus. My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me? David meant it. He felt that. But he was uttering a prophetic lamentation of his difficulty for his greater son who was going to utter that very same cry on the cross.

The Cross, Weakness, and Resurrection Life

And so Paul says, I determined not to know anything among you. Save Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness. Because that was his pursuit to know only Jesus Christ and him crucified, because it was not only his pursuit, but something that he walked in.

When he came to Corinth, he came in weakness and trembling. Someone stands there boasting about how much power he's got, how much liberty he's got, how much boldness he's got. You wonder sometimes if they know Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Because knowing him includes that inward knowledge of him. It's not just that mental knowledge of him. That inward knowing of him that causes you to become acquainted with who he is. And Paul discovered something which we all must discover sooner or later.

The sooner the better, but God gives us a little time of rest after we come to know him. A time of rest, a time of rejoicing in our salvation. Rejoicing in what he did for us, which of course we must do all our lives.

But the time comes when he wants us to begin to recognize, yes, he died for me. But you were crucified with him too. And looking at the cross, yes, that's where he died for me. But the time comes when, as God shows us the way, as God gives grace to walk in the way, we'll recognize, I was crucified there too.

I'm not saying that I've ever come to that in fullness. I don't know that any of us have. But I believe that God is working towards that end in the body of Christ. That as a body, as a corporate body, we'll come to that place where we will know and recognize.

We live by Christ, yes, but it's only because we were crucified with him when he was crucified. That those nails were going into our feet. We just can't walk any old way we want. Those hands are being driven in our hands.

And we can't just do what we think we'd like to do. The crown of thorns is laid upon our brow. And we might know that the mind of the flesh is at enmity with God. For it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

For only then, I believe, will we, individually and as a church, know what it means to walk in the power of his resurrection. If his resurrection is not available to you and I, just come up to the front.

What would you like? Oh, I'd like to have that resurrection life. Lord, we lay hands on this man. We ask that he will know from this day forward the working of the resurrection life of Jesus. It doesn't work that way.

However, if so be that kind of a prayer is uttered in sincerity, the next thing you will know is a walk in identification with his cross. Because that's the way into it. So we don't go around looking for our cross, trying to suffer to be like Jesus.

We simply do God's will. Which is something we have to prove individually in our own daily walk with the Lord. We have to prove. Paul said prove. What is that? Good? Acceptable or well-pleasing and perfect will of God.

Good, well-pleasing, perfect. Indicating, I believe, that there's progression even in the will of God. That you might be right in God's will this morning. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the next year you would be right in God's will.

Because God wants growth in all areas of truth. Remember that. In all areas of truth there is growth. There's development. There's unfolding. So that we don't become too bound by, well, God told me this or God told me that.

Instead of that perhaps, yes, God did say that. But is there not to be an unfolding of it? A changing of it somewhat. Just as the bud will unfold and there's a flower. A change takes place. And that bud is good.

Nothing wrong with it. It has to be. You won't have the rose without it. But it has to unfold in God's time and his purpose. According to his watch care. According to his provision from heaven, the sunshine and the rain.

It has to unfold. It's not something you can make happen. If you do, you'll open up the bud and maybe smell a little of the fragrance. But you won't have a rose. And so that's what patience is all about.

Patience, Testing, and God's Sovereignty Over Affliction

Patience is not a negative thing. Considered to be a negative thing. Grin and bear it. Patience is really that process that you go through when your faith is tried. When your faith is tried, God calls it patience.

The trial of your faith which is more precious than gold that perishes. And so James then says, let patience have her perfect words. So don't look down upon patience. Oh, you know, he's got a lot of patience.

That guy don't have it. Patience, scripturally speaking, is faith. Faith. But it's faith in the crucible. Faith being tried. Faith being tested. Faith in the fire. When it seems that you're inclined to believe sometimes that the enemy is seeking to destroy your faith.

Maybe he is. But God has control over the enemy. And always remember that. The enemy couldn't do a thing to Job until God gave him permission. You say, I think God's given Satan permission in my life.

Well, thank him for it. Pray for grace. But he doesn't have full control. God has control. And he says, so far, you can do this. No further than this. He'll go as far as he can. And Satan knows it. He knows it.

God boasting about Job. And Job is there thinking God forsaken him. And God's boasting about him. God boasts about Job, I think, to give Satan something to complain about. Yeah, but God, you put a hedger on him.

I can't get at him. God says, I'll take away the hedge. But you see, Job didn't know these things. You and I know it because we read about it. But then, because our circumstances isn't an affliction like his was, we don't consider it's the same enemy that's doing the work.

It's with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And I believe the more we come to embrace the cross of Christ, the more God will be able to build into our hearts and lives this weakness, fear, and trembling.

Because we realize, crucified on the cross, totally helpless. Crucified in weakness. Christ the Son of God. Totally weak on the cross. But he walked that way, and therefore he was able to go to the cross.

Because he walked in that kind of weakness. We don't always recognize that, because we don't always read the fine print. But if you read the fine print, you'll find a lot of things there that we pass over in the larger print.

Christ’s Dependence on the Father and the Necessity of Spiritual Weakness

Jesus said when he was accused of doing something on the Sabbath day that ought not to be done in the minds of the people. Healing a man. He has said in so many words, well listen now, I didn't really do that.

The Father did that. I can't do anything. Man of mine own self do nothing. That's the words of Jesus. I know there's a lot of what they call the positive gospel. And I'm not saying that there's, I'm not saying it's all error.

Because it's very, very necessary that you have positive wires coming into this lighting here. Absolutely essential. But it's just as essential that you have a negative wire there too. Just as essential.

The power is in the positive, I recognize that. Not even being an electrician. But it is ineffective if there isn't a negative. Just a very simple illustration, but it's true. And it's true in the spiritual realm.

If you can embrace the positive and preach it fervently and wonder why there isn't more than the effectual work coming from it. Because a lot of it is make-believe. People insisting, I'm going to have this, God says, have whatever I want and insisting on it and a lot of them ending up in devastation.

So Paul says, I was with you in weakness. And because he came to them in weakness, he knew the overspreading of the power of God. Jesus says, I can't do anything of myself. The Son can do nothing of himself.

Whatsoever I hear, that's what I've got to say. The Son can do nothing of himself because of the covenant which he made with the Father. I can use that expression. We read it in the Old Testament and quote it in the New.

One of the singers in the temple inspired to write this tremendous prophecy. And there in the temple they were slaying sheep and oxen and goats and turtle doves and blood was flowing freely and they were singing sacrifice and offering thou what is not.

There they were, the blood just flowing. And the singers were singing sacrifice and offering you don't want, you don't want it Lord. And they're doing it, God ordained it and they went on doing it, rightly so.

The singers were saying you don't want that Lord. You don't want it. Often times songs will come forth born of the Spirit and we sing it. We don't believe what we're singing. Don't believe really what we're singing.

You can think of songs like that. To be like Jesus. To be like Jesus. All I ask to be like him. I think we sang that when I went to Sunday school. Now we're teaching God wants the people to like Jesus and they're saying hey, can't be like Jesus.

But songs like that and many many others are born of the Spirit because that's the desire of God and it's the desire of his Spirit so we sing it and we don't pay too much attention to the theology of it.

But God's desire for theology is that it be translated into the realms of truth. Theology, nothing wrong with that. If you understand what it's all about. Theos I'm not much on Greek but I've studied a little.

The Word Became Flesh and Reveals the Father

God, Word, Theology I mean nothing wrong with that. If God is the Word it's the words that we speak unto you are Spirit as Jesus said the words I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are life but if God is the Word then it's something about God that maybe is good to know but God brings us to the place when as it was with the first Logos the only Logos I should say the true Logos he became flesh and dwelt among us tabernacles amongst us is really the Word it's the Word that means tent the Word became flesh literally and pitched his tent in our midst we beheld his glory but you wouldn't see it unless somehow you were unable to pull back the flaps of the tent or if God would pull back the flaps of the tent you might see his glory which happened we beheld his glory said John the glory is of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth for he was God and was with God but God who at sundry times and in divers manners many different ways many different times vacant times passed unto the fathers through the prophets hath in these last days spoken unto us in his Son.

There again I came across a very beautiful note by a scholar the Greek says has spoken unto us two words in in Son not in thee Son he's spoken unto us in Son. This scholar made a notation he says it's hard to explain this but he says it's not just saying that you know the prophets spoke now Jesus is speaking but whereas God spoke in many ways in dreams or visions or with a direct word to the prophets or once he wrote on a table of stone he appeared in fire he spoke in many different ways but now he says he's speaking wrapped up as it were in his Son so that the Son of God walking in earth was nothing less than God's word himself revealed in a way far beyond he had ever revealed himself in the past prophets and seers and different ways diverse manners.

Now God's mode of revealing himself is a Son so that Jesus didn't just speak God's word. He did that he was God's word. The word had become flesh the word had become a man. Many just heard a man speaking.

But everything he said and everything he did and everything he was and everything that he was in his inherent being that men never did see it was God's word God's final revelation of himself to man. I say God's final revelation not precluding the fact that this Son would join unto himself in process of time many other members that we become members of his body.

But the fact remains the Son is God's revelation. Then in the Lord Jesus education or whatever you can bring it forth in a word simply to express what's in your mind. And so that Jesus didn't just speak the word of God he was the word because when God the time had come and the purposes of God when God says now I've spoken in prophets, I've spoken in dreams I've spoken in visions, I've spoken in fire.

Now I'm going to give a complete full revelation and everything that was in the heart and mind and character of God is revealed in this man who walked in the earth as the perfect image of God which is expression of the Father.

Lord willing I'll get into some more of that just to say before we digress a little he didn't stay in earth as that one single solitary voice. He went to heaven to be glorified that in a corporate body in the earth that same locus might be revealed not in all his fullness in you or in you but in the corporate body of Christ in his total fullness you and I being members of his fullness.

My preaching was not with enticing persuasive words of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the spirit and of power that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man but in the power of God. That's a little frightening.

Maybe that's not quite the word but there's a lot of attempts made to educate young people or aspiring ministers to the place where you can present something with eloquence or refinement of speech. And I think Paul could have done that.

But he says when I came into your midst I determined I wasn't going to come with that. Why? He says I don't want your faith to stand in the fact that you heard words that went forth with such eloquence and beauty of expression that you had to believe it just because of the way it came forth.

But your faith won't stand on that. Remember hearing where I think it is. I know that Charles S. Spurgeon was one of the men I think it was a Dr. Parker who was also a contemporary in England at that time.

And these two men visiting England wanted to hear them both. They were both very eloquent both great men. So they went to hear the one man. And when they came away one of them said what a dynamic preacher.

And they went to hear Charles S. Spurgeon. And they came away. And one man said what a tremendous Christ. Paul says I didn't want to come with eloquence and words of wisdom that would be attractive and let your faith stand in that.

I mean I like listening to an eloquent preacher. But somehow in recent years lost his luster. But as a young person I wish I could preach like that. Paul probably could have preached like that. Maybe he did.

Maybe he recognized on Mars Hill that he was appealing too much to their intellect. I don't know. But you know he found a sermon there in the streets in this idol that was erected to the unknown God. They appointed him a day.

Nothing wrong with what he said. But we don't read of any great dynamic things that happened. There was one or two it says that claimed to him right after that he came to Corinth. And you sort of wonder if Paul was thinking you know I gave him a good sermon and I know from God and all that.

Why wasn't there more results. I don't know if that went through his mind. But when he came to Corinth he says no more of that. I must walk in the weakness and in the fear and in the trembling that I experienced when I see myself crucified with Jesus on the cross that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Spiritual Maturity and the Meaning of Hidden Mysteries

Albeit he says we speak wisdom among them that are perfect. Those who have come to maturity remember that perfection in the scriptures is not just getting rid of that last sinful habit. You get rid of every sin you got and you'll still be a babe in Christ.

Certainly God wants us to get rid of all our sins and I believe he's going to purge the church without blemish. But getting rid of all the sins won't be the perfection. Perfection is that negative taken away.

The perfection is coming into the maturity of the Lord Jesus. And so he says we do speak wisdom among those who are mature yet not the wisdom of this world nor the presence of this world that come to none.

But we speak the wisdom of God in the mystery even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory. We speak the wisdom of God in the mystery even the hidden wisdom. And you probably recognize that the word mystery in the scriptures simply means a secret.

But a secret that is made known to certain individuals but nevertheless a secret. In other words all don't know. But Paul says God has given me a ministry to reveal to you his secrets. All don't know it but to you it is given and understand.

Of course when we say things like this we're not talking about any kind of a secret society where you say to one another I'm telling you something but don't tell anybody else. It's declared openly. Declared openly.

But the reason it's a secret is because to many it's a strange language. They don't even know what they're saying. What's that mean? I eat my flesh and drink my blood. You don't know life in your mouth.

He declared it openly but you see it is a secret because it's only for those whom the Lord could explain the secret and even those closest to him couldn't really comprehend. Jesus says are you going to leave me too?

Everybody started leaving when he declared his secret openly which didn't make sense. So the secrets that God gives us to declare to the people of God or to the world will cause a lot of antagonism because they'll only hear.

They'll only hear those literal words and they won't hear what God is trying to say. So it's important that we seek to speak from the heart of God and not just deliberately try to say things that might sound stupid or something but by words which the Holy Ghost teach us we will be saying things that will become our accusation against us, their accusation against us.

So the great need is that you and I speak to know and have the anointing to know and to say what God would have us to say openly to the people. But because it's the wisdom of God it's in secret to those who have a hearing ear they will hear what the Lord is saying to others.

It might be a nice story but it won't mean much to them. That's why Jesus came to a people hard of heart blind in the eyes gathered them about him and unfolded beautiful things about the kingdom of God in the form of parables.
