What is Revelation?

 


What exactly does the Holy Spirit reveal? How much more do we need to witness before it becomes a revelation? We can find the answer in Heb. 4:13. We can see what God sees through revelation. Everything has been made bare and exposed before Him. Any covering is placed on our own sight, not God's sight. In the same way that He knows us, God reveals Himself to us when He opens our eyes so we may see what is in our hearts and what our deepest thoughts are. When we receive revelation, we are just as exposed and naked in front of Him. We being given the opportunity to view what our Lord sees is called Revelation.

If God is merciful to us and gives us even a tiny bit of revelation so that we can see ourselves as He sees us, we will be made humble right away. We don't have to strive to be humble. One cannot be proud when one lives in the light. We can only be proud while hiding in the shadows. We can be haughty and conceited when we are not in God's light, but when the light is shone, we immediately become humble. 

May the Lord open our eyes to recognize the value of the Holy Spirit's guidance and revelation. When we submit to the Holy Spirit, then our outward man will be successfully dealt with.

I pray that God will give us the grace to help us submit to His light and become sufficiently enlightened to humble ourselves and live for God's glory alone in Jesus' Name. Amen!

He did not feel that his son had to climb the social ladder in Sodom. If he had gone down there he would  probably have married one of Lot's daughters. Raising a son with the right people, that is faith.  Isaac stood by the altars of Abraham and watched God move in his father's life and said, "That's the religion I want, just like daddy's." Most of us never identify faith when it comes to raising a family. I am sure it is a great part of training any family. It will not work in the pulpit if it does not work at your house. Lots of people only want pulpit faith, but God is looking at your bedroom; He knows all about what is going on behind closed doors. Abraham did not send Isaac to the learned, liberated university of Sodom. He did not study chemistry in the classes of Gomorrah wh...
