Heavenly Revelations

2 Corinthians 2:10-12 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Does the Bible intimidate you? I mean, do you have trouble reading your Bible because you have trouble understanding your Bible? The Bible will intimidate you; the realization that you are holding God’s Word in your hands is very humbling and intimidating; that is a good thing. If it doesn’t, your eternal soul is in trouble, and my prayer is that God humbles you one day to the point it does. Understanding the Bible is truly a gift from God; it is that simple. Understanding the scriptures is a priceless gift from his Spirit living inside of you that is revealing truth to you. God may use his saints, teachers, and preachers, but it is always his Spirit that is revealing truth. Understanding the Bible is not found in doctorate degrees that are measured by worldly standards. Even these Godly men have had truth revealed. If not, they are only modern Pharisees that Jesus condemned while he walked this earth. I personally know highly educated men that could rest on their education, but yet time with them reveals their humble spirit, and how they use their gift from God to teach God’s Word; they are not puffed up in pride.

If you are intimidated by your Bible, read the second chapter of Corinthians. Enter the time you are about to spend in God’s Word by prayer for wisdom, for him to reveal truth to you. Don’t seemingly read it to check the tasks box, but read it to hear from God. Spend a week there, meditate there, see how God used the great apostle Paul there. See how one of the most highly educated men humbled himself there; Paul rested on a simple ministry and the power of God to reveal truth. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Paul had enough wisdom and persuasiveness technique to sell an Eskimo ice, but he relied on simplicity and God.

I barely graduated high school, and have very limited college education; it is hard for me to even claim to be “edjumicated.” I simply try to use that gift to let you know I am no different from you. Anything that you see in me in relation to Him is equally available to you. All it takes is a heart that pursues him. He knows your heart, and he will reveal to your heart truth when he sees the pure desire for it. How are you gonna find out if you don’t pray, and open your Bible for him to reveal?
