Living By Faith

HOLY SPIRIT “TRANSMISSION”

I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
(Matthew 11:25)

The Holy Spirit can reveal and transmit our new identity to us through the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Mark Hankins

The devil will try to out-bluff us and make us fold, quit, and give up when there is really a tremendous reward on the table. We must understand our identification with Christ and who we are in Christ and realize that we are holding the better hand. God gave us the cards and we win! The moment you get the spirit of wisdom and revelation — Boom! You can tell the devil, “You can’t whip me!”

You cannot understand what God has done for you in Christ without the help of the Holy Spirit, without the spirit of wisdom and revelation. David Yonngi Cho said that the Holy Spirit doesn’t talk to smart people. In other words, if you already think you know everything, the Holy Spirit will not reveal anything to you. If you want the Holy Spirit to help you, you will have to become like a child.

Confession: Thank you Holy Spirit for giving me the spirit of wisdom and revelation. I realize that I do not have all the answers. The Greater One living in me will reveal all truths!

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN “SHOW” BUSINESS

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. (John 16:13 NKJV)

The Holy Spirit is a genius. If we listen to Him, He will make us look smart.
Mark Hankins

Revelation is a very personal thing. The Holy Spirit’s job is to show us what God has already done for us in Christ. Understanding who we are in Christ is very supernatural.

The Holy Spirit is in show business! He reveals truth, not to our minds or intellect, but to our spirits. You have certain spiritual capacities that the Holy Spirit will show you because you have been born again.

Revelation does not necessarily come easily or conveniently. You have to be determined and say, “God, I’m asking You for the spirit of wisdom and revelation.”

I don’t know what areas you may be a struggle for you today, but I do know that God has already done in Christ whatever you need spirit, soul, body, finances, healing…whatever you need!

Confession: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. “He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” (John 16:13 AMP)

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REVELATION

And I will pray to the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. (John 14:16)

The Holy Spirit is a genius. If we listen to Him, He will make us look smart!
Mark Hankins

The Holy Spirit knows everything! If we would listen and respond to the Holy Spirit, we could avoid trouble in every area of our lives. We must learn to yield to and not resist the Holy Spirit.

In Greek, the word yield means “when a soldier presents himself to his commanding officer for orders.” This word yield shows us how important it is for each of us to daily acknowledge, recognize, and respond to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus emphasized a relationship with the Holy Spirit–our Helper and Strengthener. If we did not need a vital relationship with the Holy Spirit, Jesus would not have sent Him to live in us. Holy Spirit is the One who puts us over in life. The Spirit of God lives in us, and He is there to help us in every area of our lives. In this relationship, the Holy Spirit will show us truth, teach us truth, and guide us into all truth.

Confession: The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, dwells in me. He is a genius. I will listen and respond to Him, and He will guide me into all truth.

CRY OUT FOR WISDOM

Yea if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding…Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:3,5)

Let the Holy Spirit paint a picture in your heart of you and Jesus seated together at the right hand of God in heavenly places. – Mark Hankins

Let your spirit cry out for the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Stick with it until you truly see what God has done for you in Christ and you understand who you are and what you have in Him. Set your mind on the reality of your redemption.

Let the Holy Spirit paint a picture in your heart of you and Jesus seated together at the right hand of God in heavenly places. Then look down and say, “Devil, you are way down there, and I’m seated far above you with Jesus! God gave me the very life of Christ Himself — the God- kind of life and victory. He gave me Heaven’s joy, Heaven’s love, and Heaven’s life. I’m blessed right now with every spiritual blessing, and you are under my feet!”

Confession: Holy Spirit I cry out for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. The Spirit of God is in me and on me right now. I have been born of God and I am seated with Christ in heavenly places! (Ephesians 2:6)

PURSUING YOUR POSITION IN CHRIST

For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

A breakthrough in revelation enables us to see what God sees.
Mark Hankins

Once you have seen the scenery from your seat next to Jesus at the right hand of God, you won’t ever want to go back to life as it used to be. Other people may listen to a sermon on their identity in Christ and say, “Praise the Lord. That was a good point,” but you will be thinking, “That wasn’t just a good point, that’s the way I live! I am who Jesus says I am! I have what He says I have! He lives in me, and I ALWAYS triumph in Him!”

Believers must have a deep revelation of their position in Christ. Even in the worst situations in life, you can laugh at the devil. Your mind may be going crazy with stress and pressure as you try to think about what you are going to do. You need to stop and begin to meditate on what God’s Word says about who you are in Christ. You need to see things from God’s perspective. God sees you seated with Christ in heavenly places.

Confession: I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! By the blood of Jesus, I overcome all the works of the devil! (2 Corinthians 5:21, Revelation 12:11)
