Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0138AB recorded on February 13, 1980 teaching from Job 22:21-30 – How to Know God.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the concept of spiritual profit through a deep, personal acquaintance with the Creator. He identifies two essential movements for the believer: returning to the Almighty after wandering and receiving His divine law and words into the heart. By pursuing this intimacy, an individual moves through seven degrees of knowing God, which range from being spiritually built up and dealing drastically with sin to enjoying a fruitful testimony and receiving clear answers to prayer. Ultimately, Stevens argues that the greatest power in the ministry and the Christian life stems from a devoted prayer life and a willingness to prioritize private, secret communion with God above all else.
