"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better."
Ephesians 1:17
"Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
Ephesians 5:14b
"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding."
Colossians 1:9
For over 20 years, I knew a lot about God before I realized that I didn't know Him at all! There is a huge chasm of a difference between the two. I would venture so far as to say that there is a very high percentage of Christians, and there are seminaries thar are chock full of those who are studying about God, biblical history, the differences between doctrines, when the Rapture will happen, etc., but there has not been the impartation of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation of who God is!
Call it a "meet & greet"... My definition of REVELATION ( BIG LETTERS - HUGE EVENT), is when the veil is torn off, the Gift wrapping shredded away, like kids do with the wrapping on gifts, only in this case it's the Giver that does the unwrapping! When this revelation impacts, God moves from concept to reality, and this changes everything! The mechanism that drives God to give this tremendous gift to us is when we "get Him" - really get Him (the beginning of revelation) - in our hearts and inner man - that He is our All-In-All, our First Love, the Ultimate Lover, Father/God/Bridegroom/King, our All Consuming (white-phosphorus-hot) Fire, the Uncreated, Shoreless Ocean, Alpha and Omega.
Have you unwrapped your Gift yet?
