Revolutionary Revelation
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: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead…. Ephesians 1:17-20
The prayer in Ephesians 1:17-23 is powerful and one we encourage you to read daily. This prayer for revelation knowledge affects the eyes of your heart. It changes the way you see everything because the Holy Spirit opens the door to understanding the Word of God and the realm of the Spirit. The very moment light or revelation knowledge comes, faith is present. Revelation knowledge will always capture your imagination.
Some of the most prevalent crimes in today's society involve breaking into computer systems. This is known as "hacking." However, God's Kingdom system of revelation knowledge can never be hacked. Once you are born again, you are granted access into the Spirit realm where you can download divine secrets. Regarding Kingdom secrets Jesus said in Luke 10:21, "Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." Man does not discover God. He reveals Himself. We know God through revelation knowledge.
Paul was not at a disadvantage because he never personally met Jesus in His earthly ministry. However, he understood revelation knowledge and knew the thoughts of Jesus better than the disciples. In the same way, through revelation knowledge, you can know Him better today than those who walked with Him on the earth. Revelation knowledge takes you past the historical, geographical, and theological understanding of God and brings you into the inspirational. All scripture is God-breathed and inspired by God. It is personal and will reveal your true identity and purpose.
For example, when Jesus went to the temple, He found the place in Isaiah 61, where it was written about Him and said, "This is me! Today this scripture is talking about me." John the Baptist found himself in Isaiah 40 through revelation knowledge. When Jesus asked Peter who He was, Peter had a flash of revelation and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Then Jesus told Peter that flesh and blood had not revealed it unto him, but His Father. At that moment, Peter got his identity and calling from Jesus: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," (Matthew 16:17-18).
As Peter found his identity from Jesus, you can also find yourself in the Word today. He'll talk to you right there in your house. You used to read the Bible to go to sleep. Now you read it, and you can't go to sleep! "He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned," (Isaiah 50:4). The Holy Spirit takes you to the "video department" of the Word. He speaks to you, giving you dreams and visions, affecting your eyes, and giving you a revelation that captures your imagination. It comes alive, just like He wrote it 3,000 years ago for you today.
Living by faith is living by revelation knowledge. Every advance in faith is an advance in revelation knowledge. Revelation knowledge will change your identity like it did for Gideon (Judges 6). God calls you things there's no evidence that they exist. Yet, when they're real on the inside, nothing in the world can stop them from showing up on the outside. The power of His Word is all you need.
The Word is progressive, continuous, and eternal. The Holy Spirit unlocks your understanding and brings great joy. Information alone puffs you up, but revelation from God brings radical change and results. You will experience brand new revelation as you ask for the three things God wants us to know in the Ephesians 1 prayer: His calling, His inheritance, and His power.
Jesus grew in wisdom and knowledge by studying the scriptures (Luke 2). At age twelve, His parents found Him in the temple, wiser than the doctors of the law. It is said that the Holy Spirit inspired David to write the wisdom found in Proverbs. His son, Solomon, was guided by it to live successfully. Some scholars say that what was written in the Proverbs was wisdom from God, the Father, for His Son, Jesus, to have while He was on the earth. Like Christ, we must find ourselves in the scriptures and grow in revelation knowledge.
"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: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust," (2 Peter 1:3-4). This is the way we can know our calling, live victoriously, and reach our destiny through the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Any area you struggle in is an area you have not received the Word correctly. The devil is just as afraid of the message of the Gospel of Jesus, as he is of the events of the death, burial, and resurrection.
