THE POWER OF REVELATION KNOWLEDGE
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him (Ephesians 1:17).
There’re several verses of scripture in the Old and New Testaments that underscore the importance of knowledge: revelation knowledge. For example, Proverbs 11:9 says, “…through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” 2 Peter 1:2-3 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue.”
Revelation knowledge of God’s Word is required for the victorious Christian life. It’s not enough to know the Word; you must have it revealed to your spirit by the Holy Spirit. The Word must move from information to illumination. That’s what propels you into a higher realm of victory and dominion. The Apostle Paul prayed that the Church in Ephesus would be granted “the spirit of wisdom and revelation.” Because until your spirit is illumined by the Holy Spirit to “see” what God has made available to you, you can’t walk in the reality of it.
What you don’t know, you can’t claim. What you haven’t seen with the eyes of your spirit, you can’t enjoy. The full blessings of the Gospel are yours now, but they must become real to you through revelation. Only then can they manifest in your life. You must personalize the Scriptures. Don’t read the Word like a history book. Read it as a living document written about you.
The Word of God is God’s mirror that reveals your real identity, personality, authority and glory in Christ Jesus. The Epistles are the album of the new creation. Study them and ask the Holy Spirit for insight and illumination, and to unveil the realities therein to your heart. When that happens, they become part of your consciousness.
Faith works by revelation. When your spirit takes a hold of God’s truth, you speak it with boldness and act with confidence. The results would be testimonies, victories, unending joy and peace with prosperity. Therefore, don’t live by head knowledge. Live by revelation knowledge. This knowledge comes from meditating on the Word and spending time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Every so often, declare that you’re filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the spirit of wisdom and revelation so I can know and relate with you and walk in the reality of my identity, authority, dominion, victory and righteousness in Christ Jesus. Thank you for enlightening the eyes of my understanding to live in the reality of your Word and experience supernatural results, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
