Illuminate
Are you ready to walk in the Supernatural? Are you ready for truth? Are you ready to be illuminated by the Word of God and held accountable to that which you have been given? Are you ready to take a stand, to awaken to righteousness?
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" This verse is all through the first 3 chapters of Revelation, and it is critical that we listen to the Spirit of God in these last days. In order to live in the supernatural it is important that we receive what God has revealed through His Word. Our natural minds are not able to comprehend or grasp the spiritual things, including God's supernatural power. "The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14). So, the only way we are able to know and therefore receive the wonderful things God has for us, is through illumination, or revelation by the Holy Spirit "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God" (1 Corinthians 2:12). Illuminated means: 1. to give light, to shine 2. To enlighten, light up, illuminate 3. To bring to light, render evident 4. To cause something to exist and thus come to light and become clear to all 5. To give understanding to. "And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:4-5). Jesus said in John 14:12 "Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father". Jesus healed the sick, cleansed lepers, raised the dead, and cast out demons. Stands to reason that we who believe should be healing the sick, cleansing the leper, raising the dead, and casting out demons. What is holding us back?
"Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God." (1 Corinthians 15:33-34).
"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in ALL your conduct, because it is written "Be holy for I am holy" . 1 Peter 1:13-16
If God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, then we need to abstain from every form of evil (1 Thess 5:22) and hold fast to what is good. The Lord desires to use a clean vessel. If we are to live a supernatural life, if we are to experience the miracle power of God, then we MUST relinquish all claims to our lives and be willing to lose our lives for Christ's sake.
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9)
