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!
