4 Rs: Son Power Opens Our Eyes to the Truth of the Bible

“Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.” (Psalm 119:18)
“And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:45)
Before I came to have a real relationship with Jesus Christ, I had no interest in the Word of God. Foolishly, I felt I would have time to do that later in life. The few times I did read the Bible, I had no understanding about what it was actually saying. What changed my perspective?

Relationship

It was after I established a true relationship with God through Jesus Christ that I developed a desire to really read the Word of God. It was in the New Testament that I learned that we as believers have been given the right to know the secrets of the kingdom.
Jesus said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you” (Matthew 13:11). Only the Holy Spirit can open our eyes to understand the secrets of God’s kingdom.

Revelation

Only Son Power can give us an understanding of what Scripture reveals. This understanding is freely given to us by the Holy Spirit. Jesus opened the eyes of his followers to understand the Scriptures. The same is true for us today through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Reflection

If I am going to understand the Bible, I must read it. And as I read, the Spirit of God will open my eyes and give me the understanding of what it says. He also will give me specific applications for my life. An intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is essential to this process.

Redemption

I must ask the Holy Spirit to open my eyes of understanding as I read God’s Word.

Talk to God

Father, thank you for empowering me to understand your Word. I ask you to open my eyes of understanding so I can bring my life into harmony with your will for me. Only then can I expect to be like the light of the morning when the sun rises in its full strength. I want to be a light in the world pointing the way to you. Amen.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
