KNOWING HIS MIGHTY POWER




We cannot understand the things of God without His Holy Spirit revealing them to us. With Holy Spirit revelation we will know the anticipation of eternal life and the rewards that wait us in eternity. Can we even begin to understand that by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we can know God's mighty power? The same power that brought Jesus Christ up from death. Who would think that God would long to share these things with His children? And that He would give us the gift of the Holy Spirit to lead us to these truths and experience of His power.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your gift of the Holy Spirit and that you desire to share your great rewards and power with us. Give us the hunger to know you more and give room for your Holy Spirit to work in us in this marvelous way. In Jesus' name.

Read Ephesians 1:18-20

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at the right hand in the heavenly realms." (NIV)

"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, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places." (KJV)

LOVE



Everything we do, everything we learn, and all understanding we
have is to be filled, rich to overflowing with love. Doing so, we can
know the things that are right and Godly. Then we will know God,
for God is love.

Read Philippians 1:9,10

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more
in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to
discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day
of Christ." (NIV)

"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in
knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are
excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of
Christ." (KJV)

DISHONESTY


It is one thing to be openly and unashamedly dishonest and unfair. But
it is far worse to pretend to be honest while hiding and disguising the
face of deceit. God detests the intention to deceive by those who
cunningly try to make themselves look truthful and innocent. They are
wolves in sheep's clothing. Is it any wonder our Great Shepherd abhors
them.


Read Proverbs 11:1

"The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are His
delight. (NIV)

"A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his
delight." (KJV)

SEEING THE WHOLE PICTURE




It is satisfying for us to believe we are spiritually enlightened. But, the truth is, we have only a poorly reflected knowledge of God and His Truth. The day will soon arrive when our spiritual eyes will look on Him and know Him fully. Then we will not only be satisfied, but also complete.

Read 1 Corinthians 13:12

"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
(NIV)

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (KJV)
