As we continue to look deeper on the Person if Jesus, we learned that we build our Relationship with Him through the Holy Spirit, that is the Holy Spirit is the third Person in the God head and we refer to Him as a Person and not an “it”. Secondly He is the One present in our time, that is He was sent to be with us and to guide us through this world and into eternity with God. Thirdly He is a sign of Guarantee to us by God (The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Ephesians 1:14 NLT
)
We also learned that through prayers we are able to grow our relationship with God. In regards to prayer don’t think of it as just a one way medium of communication, that is you talking to God over and over again but a two way medium that is God talks to you as you talk to Him. These means that you have to train your ear to listen to God when He is speaking to you. Also we are to involve God in EVERYTHING we do per day.
Finally regarding prayer there are different kinds of prayer, (prayer to be baptized with the Holy Spirit – Act’s 19:1-7, prayer for praying in tongues also known as praying in the Holy Ghost – Jude 1.20, intercessory prayer – 1Timothy 2:1, prayer for spiritual eyes to be opened – 2 Kings 6:16-17, prayer of repentance – Psalms 51, prayer of salvation – Romans 10:8-11, prayer for generations -John 17, etc.)
Key Scripture’s.
Luke 1:31 , John 14:6, Philippians 2:5-11 NLT.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
Luke 1:31 NLT
(Purpose)
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
John 14:6 NLT
(Person)
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges ; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
(Power)
The three P’s in our key Scripture’s are purpose, person, power.
1. Purpose:
Is a target, goal, an aim to be reached.
The reason why something is done or it’s done in a particular way.
Name:
A person, Reputation or also A unique identifier.
2. Person:
A single human being, the physical human body, seen as distinct from the mind, character.
How do we build our Relationship then with the person of Jesus?
1. Holy Spirit
2. Prayer
3. Word of God
John 1:1,3
[1]IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa. 9:6.]
[3]All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.
John 1:4 NLT
2 Timothy 3:16-17
[16]Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),
[17]So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Ephesians 6
[17]…the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
We see God identify the Word as Jesus Christ and God wants us to be full of the Word because it draws us into the Person of Jesus, that is we get to know Him for ourselves.
The devil has always been against us knowing the Word of God since to the time of Genesis up to today and He constantly takes God’s Word from anyone who just does nothing after listening. (Matthew 13
[19]While anyone is hearing the Word of the kingdom and does not grasp and comprehend it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the roadside.)
My Joy is that
Matthew 13:11-12
[11]And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
[12]For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Mark 4
[11]And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable,
Why does God don’t just want us to understand His word by our minds?
1. Rhema /Revelation
Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
Matthew 16:15-19 NLT
Jesus was talking about the Rock of Revelation
A revealed Word from God is more powerful to you because no one can take it away or deceive you because it became’s Truth in your spirit but a word received by our minds is easy to be taken away or deceived as you will remember in the Garden of Eden, Adam received God’s revelation concerning not to eat fruit in the tree of the knowledge good and evil but Eve received from Adam word passed down, that is she received God’s word from Adam by her mind not her spirit and that’s why she was an easy target for the devil to deceive.
Prayer:
Thank You God for the love You have for us that it pleased You to come and Live in us through Your Holy Spirit so that I may be one with You and You would teach me how Live in You. Thank You also for revealing to me the secrets to Your Kingdom, I pray I will continue to walk in the revelation to You have given me and will give in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
