Weekly Pursuit – Week 5 of October
Verses:
2 Cor. 3:16 “But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
Excerpts:
This age of grace is an age of light. God is shining, and the Bible is shining also. Moreover, the all-inclusive Spirit [is] moving on earth. But although the Bible is shining and the Spirit is moving, many still do not receive revelation. The reason is that they hold to certain concepts and are veiled by these concepts.
Today many of us earnestly desire to live Christ. But to live Christ we need revelation. The only way revelation can come to us is if we drop our concepts. We also need to pray, “Lord, I trust in You to defeat the god of this age. Apart from You, I do not worship anything. Lord, I turn my heart to You, and I drop all my concepts. I don’t want to worship anyone other than You.” If you pray in this way, the light will shine, and you will receive revelation.
If we would see such a revelation of the living person, we must begin by dropping our veils, our concepts. Second, we need to turn our hearts to the Lord. According to 2 Corinthians 3:16, when the heart turns to the Lord, the veil will be taken away. The more you turn your heart to the Lord, the less ground the god of this age will have in your life and in your being. Then you will be under the shining of the heavenly light, and you will receive the revelation of the living person. Let us all drop the veils and, by His mercy and grace, turn our hearts to Him.
