“Open my eyes that I may see glimpses of truth thou had for me.”
Glimpses of God have never been enough to satisfy my insatiable hunger for Him. Discovering Him goes beyond mere glimpses. He desires me to know Him as He perceives me in Jesus Christ. The cross transformed everything. I shed the old for the new, forsaking sin for His righteousness, sickness for His health, lack for His provision, and death for His life. Knowing Him empowers His resurrection power, enabling me to live the new life He has given me. The Holy Spirit not only refines my heart but also unleashes the empowering truths of this new life within me. Knowing the Lord is His indwelling presence, revealing Himself to me.
"The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:26-27).
For many years, I had a mental understanding of God, but I hadn’t allowed Him to reveal Himself in my heart. However, one day, the veil that bound me in darkness began to lift, and scales fell from my eyes, revealing the mystery that my spiritual blindness had concealed: Christ living within me and the riches of His glory manifesting in my life. This unveiling wasn’t just a fleeting glimpse; it was a profound revelation.
God desires that I receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. This revelation will open my eyes to His understanding, allowing me to grasp the hope of His calling, the riches of His glory, and the overwhelming power that resides within me when I believe in Him (Ephesians 1:17-19). This revelation is alive, breathing, and boundless. With every moment I seek His revelation, the Spirit enhances my comprehension. As I surrender myself to His wisdom and knowledge, the riches of His glory illuminate Jesus in my life until I know I have been crucified with Him, and His resurrection power is manifest and active within me.
The Old Testament saints were unable to comprehend the New Covenant mysteries prophesied in the Old Covenant because they lacked divine revelation. They could not have fathomed that God Almighty would indwell and possess us in all His power and might.
God’s divine revelation goes beyond mere surface truths. I must continually seek the profound fullness of the riches of Christ residing within me. I cannot receive this revelation through mere glimpses. Instead, I must intentionally open myself to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to reveal the unconditional love Jesus poured out for me. I must always accept this ministry of the Holy Spirit, which unveils the riches of Jesus’ life within me.
The Old Testament predicted the coming of the Messiah, but the idea that He would dwell within us was beyond anyone's comprehension. However, the New Testament affirms that Christ, through the Holy Spirit, takes permanent residence in all believers (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and Ephesians 2:2). For many years, I had never sought the depth of my relationship with Jesus. I had just glimpsed what was on the surface.
When I embraced the revelation of God's grace, I finally received the spirit of revelation of Jesus in me. I received His unwavering promise to indwell me and never forsake me. It was a testament to His immense love for me. If I truly grasped the implications of this revelation, loneliness and discouragement would become distant memories. Depression and self-pity would cease to exist. What would matter if others judged me if I genuinely understood Jesus's profound love for me?
The attitudes and fears exhibited by many believers suggest that the revelation of “Christ in us” is not widely embraced. However, Colossians 1:27 underscores our Father’s desire to unveil “the riches of the glory of this mystery” to us. God yearns to reveal Christ within us. This mystery is no longer a mystery; the secret of God’s merciful love for us has been unveiled. We should all endeavor to gain a deeper comprehension of this profound truth.
I eagerly anticipate the revelation of God’s truth, as guided by the Holy Spirit. He opens my eyes, allowing me to experience the manifestation of God’s truth. With each revelation, I am reminded of the wonderful truths that saved me from destruction and death. These truths empower me to overcome challenges in this life.
I have been crucified with Christ and this life I live in my flesh I live, not by faith in the Law, but by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. The Law sent Jesus to the cross for me. But grace lifted me. Grace raised me from the Law's condemnation and death to new life in Jesus. I have been crucified with Christ so that He may manifest Himself in me.
The unhidden revelation of God’s truth is His will for my life.
“We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
Open my eyes that I may see
Revelations of truth thou hast for me.
Place in my hand the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee.
Ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes; illumine me, Spirit divine.
Amen, Father. Yes, and amen.
