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.
