Knowledge about God knowing God. Here’s the difference.
You read your Bible every day. You know David beat Goliath. You can quote Paul’s letters. But does your faith feel like a history class? If so, you’re not alone. Many believers study Scripture yet never hear God’s voice. They know about Him, but they don’t truly know Him.
In Watchmen Army, David Cuppett warns that this is the Pharisees’ mistake. They memorized Scripture but called Jesus demon-possessed. They missed God standing right in front of them.
Jesus Himself confronted this trap:
“You study the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me” (John 5:39–40).
Bible study alone is like reading your spouse’s love letters but never talking to them. Letters are precious, but they cannot replace the person. David Cuppett puts it bluntly in Watchmen Army:
“Worshipping a silent God is idolatry.”
So What’s Missing? Relationship
The Bible is God’s written Word, but He is also the living Word (Revelation 19:13). He wants a face-to-face connection with you, just like Adam walking with Him in Eden.
The early church didn’t carry Bibles. They carried the fire of the Holy Spirit. When they prayed, strangers heard God speaking in their language. Prison doors flew open. The sick were healed. They didn’t just read about miracles—they lived them.
How to Move From Facts to Face-to-Face Encounters
- Pray dangerously. Ask God, “Show me Your glory, not just Your stories.”
- Make space for silence. Turn off distractions. Listen more than you speak. God whispers.
- Pray in tongues daily. This supernatural prayer bypasses the mind and connects directly to God.
This is how God works. He doesn’t just want you to know what He did. He wants you to see what He is doing—now.
The Holy Spirit Is Your Teacher
Jesus promised, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). Notice the word guide—this is real-time GPS for your spirit. He will:
- Show you which coworker needs prayer today.
- Reveal hidden fears blocking your joy.
- Heal old wounds as you pray.
Bible study gives you a map. The Holy Spirit drives the car.
From Knowledge to Fire
In Watchmen Army, David Cuppett tells of a pastor who prayed in tongues for hours daily. Over time, he began seeing angels during worship and prophesying with accuracy. Bars in his town shut down without protests. Why? Because he prioritized God’s presence over God’s paragraphs.
You were made for more than memorizing verses. You were made for encounters. Moses saw a burning bush. Paul heard Jesus on the road. John entered heaven’s throne room. These aren’t exceptions—they’re blueprints.
Your Bible is a doorway, not a destination. Walk through it. God isn’t hiding. He’s waiting.
