We need our minds to be illuminated by The Holy Spirit.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 22:
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, flowing with water clear as crystal, continuously pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 The river was flowing in the middle of the street of the city, and on either side of the river was the Tree of Life, with its twelve kinds of ripe fruit according to each month of the year. The leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the nations. 3 And every curse will be broken and no longer exist, for the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there in the city. His loving servants will serve Him;
4 they will see constantly his face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.
5 Night will be no more. They will never need the light of the sun or a lamp, because the Lord God will shine on them (illuminate them). And they will reign as kings forever and ever!
Jesus spoke in John 6:
47 “I speak to you living Truth: Unite your heart to Me and believe—and you will experience Eternal Life!
Believing is having! Mental assent admires The Word and confesses The Word as true and very desirable but it doesn’t possess.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 5:
4 When Jesus had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your Word I will let down the net.”
Peter responded to The Word rather than his past experience through sense knowledge. Are we willing to do the same in all areas of our lives?
Jesus spoke in John chapter 2:
1 Now on the third day there was a wedding feast in the Galilean village of Cana, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2-3 Jesus and his disciples were all invited to the banquet, but with so many guests in attendance, they ran out of wine. And when Mary realized it, she came to Him and asked, “They have no wine, can’t You do something about it? ”
4 Jesus replied, “My dear one, don’t you understand that if I do this, it won’t change anything for you, but it will change everything for Me! My hour of unveiling My power has not yet come.”
5 Mary then went to the servers and told them, “Whatever Jesus tells you, make sure that you do it!”
6 Now there were six stone water pots standing nearby. They were meant to be used for the Jewish washing rituals. Each one held about 20 gallons or more.
It has been mathematically determined that the total amount of water to be turned into wine was 153, the numeric value of “Sons of GOD”. On the third day which is now, there is to be a transformation of the Sons of GOD.
7 Jesus came to the servers and told them, “Fill the pots with water, right up to the very brim.”
8 Then He said, “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the master of ceremonies.”
9 And when they poured out their pitcher for the master of ceremonies to sample, the water became wine! When he tasted the water that became wine, the master of ceremonies was impressed. (Although he didn’t know where the wine had come from, but the servers knew.)
10 He called the bridegroom over and said to him, “Every host serves his best wine first until everyone has had a cup or two, then he serves the wine of poor quality. But you, my friend, you’ve reserved the most exquisite wine until now!”
11 This miracle in Cana was the first of the many extraordinary miracles Jesus performed in Galilee. This was a sign revealing His glory, and his disciples believed in him.
Jesus demonstrated His glory with signs and wonders. We are to do the same by revealing His glory in us! As we are fully illuminated, we will see signs and wonders according to the commission given to us by Jesus Himself!
