Identity - Obtaining Revelation From TruthПример

To obtain truth, we need 4 Rs: 1\. Revelation (new enlightenment or understanding of Truth) 2\. Renovate (trash the lie(s); study and meditate on Truth) 3\. Rely (rest in and live out of the Truth) 4\. Resist (resist the devil and stand firm in the Truth) We all need revelation of God to know him better. We need an eye-opening experience, a revelation, to see the things of God that we cannot possibly see with our physical eyes. God wants to give us his revelation. He has poured it out in his scripture. He has made it clear that he wants us to have it. So if we want more revelation, we have to ask for it. He is faithful. When we ask, he provides every time. Renovate, defined in the dictionary is to make new, or renew. Renovating your mind takes time, takes commitment, and takes courage. It is choosing something different than what everyone else is choosing. In the battle of renewing your mind in God’s word, you will be met with resistance. When the enemy comes behind you and the enemy tries to steal, kill, and destroy you, he will make you look at your blemished past. Don’t. Rely on God and look forward. Stop looking at your flaws. Stop looking at your past. You have been bought with a price. Jesus Christ took all your flaws and that alone makes you worthy. Rely on God. Do you need to resist the enemy? Is there a place right now where the enemy is involved in your life and you know it? Put up your barriers. When you know what you have in Christ and you know who you are in him, you will begin to put up barriers against the enemy. Even when you are relying on God, when you are renewing your mind, when you are resisting the enemy, you will still meet with other resistance. It can be something like a desire to not work, not push forward. Just starting to get into the word of God breaks the resistance. It is going to set you free. There is freedom where the truth is.
