“The Revelation of the Spirit Is Given to Each One for the Profit of All.”

“The Revelation of the Spirit Is Given to Each One for the Profit of All.”

1 Corinthians 12:7

There are two areas in particular in which we are in dire need of revelation for the eternal benefit of ourselves and for others.

1) We need new light (revelation in the depths of our heart) concerning our own sin and wickedness and our great in sufficiency, despite all the grace and salvation of which we have partaken. We will be greatly benefited by viewing sin as exceedingly sinful, seeing that what we have reckoned as imperfections must rightly be called wickedness, and that what we have considered to be relatively small deficiencies are, nevertheless, proof of my wickedness.

Unconscious wickedness clings to us. We are not properly rid of it as long as we are not aware of it. How profitable it is to have it revealed, for then I can be finished with it.

2) Next, we need great and many revelations about the height, width, length, and depth of how gloriously God can and will and must bless us with absolute certainty when we, as a consequence of these new revelations about our abundant wickedness, thoroughly cleanse ourselves from it.

The words of Scripture concerning abundant and glorious blessings are very, very strong and comprehensive. According to standards that are usually used, they are fantastically strong, even fabulously strong! Nevertheless, they are true!

Just read them! Read them carefully, and you will be very surprised! You will receive revelations!
