DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the sermon 'Sprinkled', the preacher delves into the significance of
rhantizo, meaning to cleanse by sprinkling, particularly in a religious
context. This term is used in Hebrews 10:22 to symbolize internal
cleansing of the heart. The act of sprinkling, whether with blood,
water, or oil, played a crucial role in sacrificial rituals in the Old
Testament, signifying purification and consecration. The preacher
emphasizes the importance of understanding the symbolic meaning behind
the act of sprinkling in various biblical contexts.

Better to know Jesus Himself than to know the truth about Him, for the
deep things of God are revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. Paul's great
desire was, that I may know him. Not just know about Him, or the
mysteries of the wonderful world, or even the deeper and higher
teachings of God, but to enter into the Holy of Holies where Christ is,
where the Shekinah is shining, making the place glorious with the
holiness of God. it is to enter into the secret of the Lord Himself. it
was what Jacob strove for at Peniel when he pleaded with God. God has
given us he light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). That is the secret.

It is the Lord Himself, and nothing else; it is acquaintance with God;
it is knowing Jesus Christ as we know no one else.

It is being able to say not only "I believe Him, but "I know Him. "It is
being able to say not only "I know about Him," but "I know Him." That is
the secret above all others that God wants us to have; it is His
provision for glory and power, and it is given freely to the single-
hearted seeker.
