November 23, 2024                 GOD THE REVEALER                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Ephesians 1:17-19a “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe .                      


I think we sometime forget how needy we are; we go about this Christian life acting as through it is up to us to discover truths from God’s word and how to live as believers. We believe that the main thing is to be diligent and disciplined, having our mornings devotions and doing the things ‘good’ Cristians should do. Don’t stop reading-hold on. These things are good things: we should read His word, we should be diligent, and it’s certainly good to have devotions. But the problem is that we cannot gain a correct understanding of who God is and we cannot understand the scriptures and we cannot come to understand what it means to be joined to God on our own, no how much study and no matter how diligent we are. It is an indisputable fact that it is only by God giving us a spirit of wisdom and revelation that we can come to truly know Him and to understand  the implications of being redeemed and made new. Having a mental understanding of the things of God and having a mental agreement with His word is a good thing; but we need the ‘eyes of our hearts’ to be opened or enlightened in order to see all that He has for us. God has all knowledge, but He is more than that. John 4:24 tells us “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Our minds or super important and it it is important to read and study God’s word. But we must remember that God is spiritual. The spiritual is deeper than words or mental understanding and knowledge. Since it is God who does the revealing, one might conclude that all they can do is to ‘sit on the front porch in their rocking chair’ waiting for God to give them revelation. That’s not true. God is looking for those whose hearts are turned to Him. He said if we seek Him, we will find Him. God wants us to know Him. He will reveal Himself to us. In Jeremiah 33:3 God said “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” So we should study and meditate on God’s word, but at the same time, ask Him to reveal His truths in our spirits. When the eyes of our hearts or enlightened by the Holy Spirit, we will see just how rich our inheritance in the Lord is-it will change us from the inside out.
John 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and Hw will tell you what is yet to come.”
