Our Guest Richard Booker
LARRY: you just need to know, as we finish up this segment, it’s legal. This. this kind of relationship with God is absolutely legal, it’s absolutely biblical. God actually wants you to walk in this measure of power, under the influence of His Presence. You might think to yourself, This is a little bit different. Is this possible? The reality is, a generation of people. doesn’t matter what your age is. Generations actually crying out for something more. And we are doing a biblical disservice; we are doing a disservice to people if we do not tell them you can live saturated by the Holy Spirit. You can have an experiential, dynamic encounter with God. I believe God wants you to have that. Yes He wants you to be in in His Word; but go to that Word, just like Dr. Booker was saying, go to that Word, read the encounters that these Bible his-. these Bible figures of old had with God, and then think to yourself, Wow, these people enjoyed this measure of relationship with God. They were under the Old Covenant; now you have the Spirit of God inside of you. They had God speaking to them, at times and seasons. The Spirit of God, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, lives in[side of] you, He wants to rest upon you with power. And in the next segment, Dr. Booker and I, we’re just going to actually give this time to the Holy Spirit, because I believe the Spirit of God wants to speak to you, and wants to draw nearer to you, and He wants to touch you. So don’t [claps] go away. We’ll be right back with a [music] powerful time in His Presence.

LARRY: Well welcome back to Something More. We’re going to do exactly what the show is all about right now, and I believe the Lord wants to give you a taste of something more, because here’s the deal: There’s always more of God. You don’t need to beg God to come, and say, God, send Your Spirit down from Heaven, because we’ve been talking about Pentecost. The power of Pentecost. the gift of Pentecost. has been released. If you know Jesus, if He is your Messiah and Lord, then you actually have the Holy Spirit living inside of you. And that’s great, but I believe the Lord wants you to experience the fullness of the Spirit. If you do not know Jesus as your Messiah, I actually believe as a result of the time we’re going to have right now, the Holy Spirit is going to come. And there’s no greater evangelist. there’s no greater communicator of Who Jesus is. than the Holy Spirit. So, Dr. Booker, a-as we just get ready to um help people experience the Holy Spirit in a greater way, could you address the audience? Can you address those who are watching, who might have questions, okay, how, if I want to experience God in a deeper way, because I am hungry? There’s so many people who are I’m hungry for more of God; what. what would you tell them? What would. what would their next step be?
RICHARD:
Well, the next step of course is to get yourself in a place so God can come and
meet with you. And so you, you know, you want to evaluate your motives, and
why. why do you want more of God. Is it so you can have more of God, or
something, you know, that’s selfish or whatever. But if you have a hunger and
thirst after righteousness, here’s a promise from God: they shall
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
be filled.
LARRY:
Woo!
RICHARD:
Hallelujah. So if you hunger and thirst after righteousness, I want to give you
a little heads-up here now, if you’re watching: God doesn’t reveal Himself to
the casual inquirer.
LARRY:
Mm!
RICHARD:
But if you really want Him, He wants you more than you want Him.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD: (laughing)
Hallelujah!
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
And so God. if you’re hungry and thirsting, you just lift your heart.
LARRY:
Yeah.
