“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness in through our KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, who has called us by His own glory and goodness.” 2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)

BE OF GOOD CHEER! Jesus came to bring us the GOOD NEWS! He is the fourth man in the fiery furnace and can enable us to pass through these times without even a trace of SMOKE ON OUR CLOTHES (or our emotions, minds, or spirits!)

“MY PEOPLE PERISH FROM LACK OF KNOWLEDGE” Isaiah 5:143a
The Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:17-18 “That theGod of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, would give to us a spirit of WISDOM and of REVELATION in the TRUE KNOWLEDGE of HIM….
….and that the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened so that we would each know the HOPE OF HIS CALLING and what are the RICHES of His INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS.”

Let us pray this for ourselves: that we would receive the SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION.

“THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN WHO REVEALS MYSTERIES.” Daniel 2:28
Is there any one who can fathom the depths of Truth?
Which one of us can unlock the mysteries of Time and Space, much less that of Good versus Evil.

We do not know all there is concerning healing. We are unable to gain the insight or knowledge to discipline our SELVES much less solve the problems in our own lives and cities.

Wouldn’t it be nice to receive FRESH Godly insight to these problems? How would God the Creator of the Universe choose to “REVEAL SECRETS” to YOU and ME?

“NO EYE HASE SEEN, NO EAR HAS HEART, NO MIND HAS CONCEIVED what God has prepared for those who love Him BUT those things are revealed by the SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT searches all things, yea, even the deep things of God.” 2 Corinthians 2:9-10 NIV
We have the GOOD Shepherd, who along with His Holy Spirit, will “guide us into ALL Truth.”….not error!

WE liken receiving FRESH INSIGHTS breathed into our spirits from the mind of God to the reception of Godly WISDOM and what the Bible calls “UNDERSTANDING.”

Activation by the Spirit of REVELATION can be compared to a sort of Godly “CONSCIOUSNESS RAISING.”

Thoughts and ideas SUDDENLY occur in our minds. CREATIVE WAYS to SOLVE PROBLEMS dawn upon us effortlessly.

Insight into new realms and old problems “unlock the mysteries” of His will.

“NOW HE is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ever ask or think, ACCORDING TO the POWER that at work within US.” Ephesians 3:20

God asks for OUR undivided attention. HE wants US to take time from OUR busy schedules to draw aside: to sit quietly at His feet. To give HIM times of prayer and meditation on the Word of God.

There, in a relaxed attitude, we are free to receive fresh insight from the Lord. We sit back and simply listen: for the Voice of the GOOD SHEPHERD.

God wants us to be OPEN to NEW THINGS. “Forgetting what lies behind..” no matter how good or pure. HE waits for US to quit resting on our laurels or simpering over our failures.

HE wants us FREE from “preconceived ideas” about WHAT He will and will NOT do.

HE wants US ready to RECEIVE: “Open your mouth wide, so I may fill it!”

Activate the Spirit of Revelation in YOUR life by seeking the Lord WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

“MAKE your ear attentive to wisdom. INCLINE your heart to understanding. IF YOU seek after HER (the wisdom of God) as (much as YOU do) for HIDDEN TREASURE (making money)….THEN YOU will discern the FEAR OF THE LORD and discover the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.”Proverbs 2:1-5

Call out to the Lord. Jeremiah 33:3 says,
“Call unto ME and I will answer YOU and show YOU great and mighty things that YOU know not of!”

Be bold, Be courageous,Be cheerful in the Lord!
