I received my message from no human
source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from
Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:12
For strength to
overcome and press on, only a revelation by the Holy Spirit in us can
suffice – but it can! A revelation that is within one's spirit and not a mental
appreciation of truth, even though it is truth about God. Oh, the power to be
able to say "I KNOW," not "I have heard or read," but
"I KNOW." It is an experience nothing can rob us of. It is absolutely
essential to have this revelation by the Holy Spirit because we have to meet
forces of evil against which nothing can stand save that which is of God.
"In pressure Thou hast enlarged me." How? Because of the constant
uprising of the Life within. Trouble, trial, sorrow... we are subject to
these things, they are common to all men, but we rise above them through the
"strength of His might" within. We are strong because of the Light
given in the knowledge of God – Eph. 1:19. This is a growing revelation. Paul
is writing to the Ephesian saints, and what a wonderful history these had! See
Paul's words to them in parting (Acts 20:17-38). To such he says, "That ye
may be strengthened to apprehend," showing the necessity for the mighty
power of God in bringing through revelation. The enemy mightily withstands
revelation; to mar or hinder that, he'll stop at nothing!
Light and Strength go
together; endurance is by revelation, "I know." Establishment in the
truth by revelation of the truth, this brings an impact on Satan and his hosts;
light leading to might. When the Lord opens eyes you see what happens,
"the eyes of your heart being enlightened, that ye may know"
this is the result of opened eyes.
"Knowing that He that raised up
the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus" – 2 Corinthians 4:14.
