closes the night and it opens the day. Peter says, “Pay attention to
this book until the day star arises in your heart and that will become
a new day for you.” Many people only have the prophetic word. It
can’t be more true. So, they study the prophetic word and they have
good doctrine and they teach that Jesus is coming back and they
teach that Jesus is God and they teach the virgin birth and the 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
