The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

I wanted to share some profound light with you this morning. The light is from the preface to Watchman Nee's book "The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation." It goes right to the heart of walking in love. Here's the light:

"There is no way of knowing God and His eternal will except through revelation. Neither is there any means of knowing Christ other than by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Revelation alone imparts to us spiritual realities."

So much of what is called Christianity today is bound up with people who have not had revelation of the Spirit who are doing things for God in the name of Jesus. These people may have good intentions with their works, but their activities fall outside of the Spiritual realm. They are activities driven by self - not Spirit. In short, they are outside of Christ, not in Christ.

Revelation alone imparts to us spiritual realities.

That is a powerful and true statement. Revelation is an act of seeing - not with our physical eyes, but with the eyes of our heart. When the eyes of our heart are opened and we become entangled with God through the Spirit, we become new creations. Christ becomes a Reality for us. The only Reality.

In Christ, there is Love. In Christ, there is Light. In Christ, there is Life - eternal Life. Great Life.

May the Lord give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Agape,

Steve
