bodily resurrection. They have the prophetic word but they
aren’t seeing Jesus. They have no revelation.
Jesus said, “Pay attention to this book until the day star
rises in your heart.” Brothers and sisters in Christ, are you
seeing Christ in the Bible? The indwelling Holy Spirit takes the
written word and unveils the Living Word. And the Living
Word reveals God. God has called us to know Him and He has
made every provision to make this Bible live. If you just study
the Bible to know the Bible, you are going to become more
proud because knowledge puffs up. You study the Bible to
know Jesus through the indispensable principle. You trust the
Holy Spirit to show you Christ.
Just before Peter died he looked back thirty years and
said, “I’ve learned the secret. It’s not only the prophetic word
but the prophetic word made sure in a present revelation.”
That’s a foundation, just like faith is a foundation. We need to
see Jesus by God’s revelation. Don’t go around judging those
who just have the light, the prophetic word. But you get alone
with the Lord and pay attention until you see Christ. That will
be a transfiguration for you.
Our Father, thank You that You gave us the Holy Spirit
to unveil the Lord Jesus through the Bible, that we might know
You. Help us, Lord, to pay attention to that book until the Day
Star rises in our heart. Make the prophetic word more sure by
a present revelation of our dear Lord Jesus. We ask in Jesus’
name. Amen
