The DEEPEST Truth Paul Ever Taught

Two things. You read your own version. Well, let me do it again. Underline or circle or list all the words that don’t appear again that are a subject, like revelation, wisdom, knowledge, things like that. We’ll find out how many you come up with.

The second thing I want you to do between now and tomorrow morning is compare my chapter 1 with your chapter 1, and just let it soak in. Now, you would be nice to me if you would come in here tomorrow and say, “Gene, I like my King James clearer than yours.” Or you might say, “Gene, oh, I began to see when I was reading it that this was really written to more people than me.” But any reaction you have to it, I do promise you that it won’t be read like this when it’s in the New Testament, but it’ll give you some idea where my heart and hand are.

Two things. Circle words that appear only once. Go ahead and list “riches,” how many times, and “glory,” and how many times, and “grace,” how many times. There’s one other word in there that’s repeated frequently, and the words that are introduced without explanation. Secondly, compare chapter 1 of your Bible with mine. You’ll find yours listed under Ephesians. If you ever read my New Testament, it’s going to be listed “2nd Colossians.” Because it should have never gotten the name Ephesians. Thank you for staying up late with me tonight. We won’t have another meeting this long. I figured that while you were stronger tonight than you will be the rest of the week.

Now then, I have one other thing to say to you, and that is, get ready to spend some time with another brother and sister at least three times a day for the rest of this conference. We are going to learn how to touch the Lord. Not to be preached to, but to know how to touch the Lord. A week is not long enough, but we’ll at least get started. Does anybody want to say anything? Okay.
