For The Deeper Christian Life

“[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,”. The spirit of wisdom and revelation are very important for the deeper life in Christ Jesus. Knowledge is necessary but the proper allocation of knowledge should be filtered through wisdom. Much knowledge can invite unwarranted pride and will attract a buffer to your body and soul (1Corinthians 8:1). The buffer is a thorn in your flesh to bring you down to a less puffed up state of mind due to much revelation (2 Corinthians 12:7). Revelation knowledge can be obtained through reading and meditating in God’s word, the bible. Godly wisdom is winsome, easy to be entreated, it’s pleasant to the soul, and it yields understanding to its seekers. Revelation comes directly from the Spirit of God into our human spirits and is perceived, directed and manifested into our thinking processes. Our understanding becomes enlightened from the spirit of wisdom and revelation which gives us insight into mysteries and secrets. For the deep and intimate knowledge of God, this is the way.
