Our Guest Brian Blount
SID: Okay, Brian, you came to a revelation and it totally revolutionized everything you do. Tell me about that.
BRIAN: Not only everything I do, but everything I think people that I equip do now too. I first started out in words of knowledge, and words of knowledge are amazing. I love them. But then I began to discover that you could do the same thing without a word of knowledge. And the reason why I think I went down that path is when I would teach people, they said, Brian, we don’t get words of knowledge like you. We can’t do this.
And so, literally, I just asked the Lord, “Can I do this without a word of knowledge?” And he said, Matthew 10, “As you go…” And so, I started stepping out and I’ve seen just as many miracles or healings… In fact, with the deaf ears opening. That wasn’t a word of knowledge.
And I’ve seen more and more people enter into things and be able to do healing because of that. They’re not getting tripped up. Listen, the gift is the Holy Spirit. And that’s what we’ve been given. And the commissioning of Jesus, that’s all we need. And then He’ll give us the gift in the moment, but we just need to take that step and just step out in simple obedience. That’s all that Jesus is asking. He is asking for a yes in your heart and a yes in your feet.
That means you’re going to take the step to do it.
SID: God spoke to you three words that are so important. What were they?
BRIAN: He told me, Brian, all I want you to do is learn to look, listen, and respond.
SID: Explain what that meant to you.
BRIAN: What that meant to me is that if I could begin to just look for His presence, I could begin to see His activity come, the power come. If I could just hear His voice and stop in that moment that the kingdom would come. But then I had to take that other step, that risk step, of responding to what I just saw and what I just heard. Now, I interpreted that, for the longest time, like I said, in the word of knowledge.
But then the Lord began to show me, I would just notice somebody. And I felt like the Lord said, “Brian, that’s just like a word of knowledge. Just take it.” I began to hear conversations, and I began to just take that I’m hearing from the Lord.
SID: These were natural?
BRIAN: Natural conversations. And what’s what, partly, revolutionized things for me. It’s that I could just see a need and I felt like God was highlighting that person to me. I could hear a conversation, someone talking about problems and I thought, well, maybe that’s my opportunity. Maybe that’s God inviting me into that situation. And that’s where I began to see even more things take place.
SID: And it got even easier when God gave you three insights.
BRIAN: Yes. So the first insight was that God is always at work. He’s always working. And here’s the great news about that. If He’s always working, He’s inviting us into His ministry, so the pressure is off.
So, I find and cultivate that in my heart, that God is always at work. Then that’s really the thing that began to change everything for me. The second thing was the Matthew 10 commissioning, “As you go…” because that was a thing that I could do this anywhere, anyplace, the kingdom of God was happening, present in any moment. And then the third thing was this insight that He’s already prepared good works for us to do. So I get up and say, Lord, what are the good works You prepared for me to do?
Lord, I want to look, listen and respond today. God, I know that You’re at work. I want to join You in this work.
SID: But Brian, I repeat, you’re an evangelist. You’re a pro at this. What about the person who says, “I’m not an evangelist. I can’t heal the sick.” I want you to talk to them right now.
BRIAN: Well, I’m honestly … I don’t know if I’m an evangelist or not either. I just have a heart for Jesus. I believe I’m just an ordinary everyday disciple, that I’m just trying to believe what Jesus said. And I have taken my kids, at five years old to people at 85 years old, and all in-between, and said, lets just step out in what Matthew 10 is said. And that’s all we have to do, is just that simple place of obedience.
And honestly, being an evangelist is just telling the Good News. And we tell the Good News all the time. If you go to a restaurant, you go to a movie. What better news is the kingdom of God, what better news is that Jesus came and opened up His arms and said, “Come in.” And He died on the cross. There’s no better news than those things.
BRIAN: So, if we can just begin to talk about Jesus, that’s all that we need to do. And then He comes in those moments and we learn to look, listen, and respond. And we’ll see the kingdom come.
SID: I believe you could pray right now. You could pray for people that are sick and then I freely you receive, freely give an impartation for talking about the goodness of God, what He did for you, and the impartation of miracles.
BRIAN: Okay, I can do that. Great. So many of you are out there and you’ve been waiting and saying, maybe it’s been years that you’ve been suffering in pain. Let me tell you, don’t give up. I believe that God is releasing these unusual creative miracles, and what you’ve heard about the kidney, what you’ve heard about the deaf ears, I want to release right now to you the healing presence to come.
Holy Spirit, would you come. Holy Spirit, would you come right now and would You begin to minister Your presence? You’re going to begin to feel the power of God come upon you right now. It’s coming, right now, you’re going to feel it. It’s like a thick, heavy weight of His presence, is coming. Now begin to move your body and you’re going to begin to see that God is healing you right now.
But not only is He healing you, I believe that He is releasing an impartation at the same time because God takes wounded healers and send them out into the marketplace. So I just release, right now, everything, Father, that You have given to me as freely as I received it. I freely give it away.
BRIAN: Come, Holy Spirit, and empower Your church, Lord, with compassion. And compassion leads us to action. So in the name of Jesus, go and do the kingdom in Jesus’ name.
SID: I want you to pray a simple prayer, right this moment, that you would pray with someone to come to know the Lord after they’ve seen a miracle. And I want you to repeat this after Brian. Okay.
BRIAN: What I often do is when someone has experienced the presence of God, and this is really my biggest thing, it’s not even the healing. I really believe one of the things that we need to do as a church is release the manifest presence of God. And so, when they feel God, I begin to explain to them what just happened to them.
I said, this is like Jesus and He’s knocking at the door of your heart. Do you want to ignore that knock or do you want to invite Him in? And most of the time, when they’ve found this power and presence, they’re like, “Well, why wouldn’t I want to let Him in?”
And so, I just simply walk them through this prayer, and I say, “Listen, Jesus is reaching out to you. He’s knocking. You just opened up the door of your heart and say, Jesus, would You just come in?”
SID: Jesus, would You just come in?
BRIAN: Would You be the Lord and Savior of my life?
SID: Would You be the Lord and Savior of my life?
BRIAN: Would You forgive me of all my sins?
SID: Would You forgive me of all my sins?
BRIAN: And would You fill me with Your love?
SID: And would You fill me with Your love?
BRIAN: And would You empower me with the Holy Spirit?
SID: Would You empower me with the Holy Spirit.
BRIAN: I want to be sent, and go and do.
SID: I want to be sent, and go and do.
BRIAN: Just what was done to me.
SID: Just what was done to me.
BRIAN: Amen.
SID: Amen.
