Do You Know Him?

Eph:1:17 "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:"

They say knowledge is power, but is it? Because you know something is that power? If you are in darkness and know how to turn on the light but don't, where is the power. The power is in the applying of that which you know. God said "My people parish for a lack of knowledge". We deny him, abandon him, forsake him, and at times sell him out, all because we lack knowledge of who he truly is. In Isaiah God says " My people are taken captive for a lack of knowledge". We remain as prisoners of sin  held in the bondage of slavery to the flesh,  all because we lack knowledge as to who we are, and whose we are.
 

We have been called to share with the world the blessings of God's great plan of salvation. It is imperative that we come to know the true God in the most personal and intimate sense. It is through the knowledge and understanding of who he is, that we fully grasp our call and realize our duty in this great plan of salvation. You can't fully understand whose you are, if you don't truly know who he is. It is not just enough to know the word of God, but we must also know the God of the word. We must pray to receive the spirit of revelation in the knowledge of God and His purpose for our life. We must seek God above anything else, and trust his Holy Spirit to reveal the deep spiritual things to us. As these truth are revealed the eyes of the heart are opened, for it is with the heart that a man truly believes.
 

 When the eyes of the heart is opened we come to know three things. (1)what is the hope of our calling:God calls us to stand perfect before him without spot and or blemish; we are not perfect, but our hope is that through the blood of Jesus and the revelation of the holy spirit we might be made perfect, as we are saved by hope.(2)That we might begin to know the riches of the glory of his inheritance; as informed Christians we now reconize the priceless value of our salvation; We realize what a priceless treasure we are to God. And (3)When we come to the knowledge and understanding that we are his, it unleashes the power of God in our life, what God did for Jesus he will do for us, the resurrection of Jesus shows us that God has the power to give us new life and the power to live a new life before him.....Our perfection is in Jesus the Christ the power of God unto salvation
