AGENT OF SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION

1. 1 Corinthian 9-13 { 1Co 2:9 But it is just as the Scriptures say, "What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!"

1Co 2:10 God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God.

1Co 2:11 You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind.

1Co 2:12 But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us.

1Co 2:13 Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people. }

When the spirit of God shows you word in scripture illumination comes. The Holy Ghost is God’s agent of illumination comes. John 16: 12 – 13 { Joh 16:12 I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand.

Joh 16:13 The Spirit shows what is true and will come and guide you into the full truth. The Spirit doesn't speak on his own. He will tell you only what he has heard from me, and he will let you know what is going to happen. }

You cannot be illuminated without the help of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, bible will be covered. The Holy Spirit is the one which is responsible for spiritual illumination. When you want to read the word of God engage the Holy Spirit.

2. Acts 8 : 29 – 40 { Act 8:29 The Spirit told Philip to catch up with the chariot.

Act 8:30 Philip ran up close and heard the man reading aloud from the book of Isaiah. Philip asked him, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

Act 8:31 The official answered, "How can I understand unless someone helps me?" He then invited Philip to come up and sit beside him.

Act 8:32 The man was reading the passage that said, "He was led like a sheep on its way to be killed. He was silent as a lamb whose wool is being cut off, and he did not say a word.

Act 8:33 He was treated like a nobody and did not receive a fair trial. How can he have children, if his life is snatched away?"

Act 8:34 The official said to Philip, "Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or about someone else?"

Act 8:35 So Philip began at this place in the Scriptures and explained the good news about Jesus.

Act 8:36 As they were going along the road, they came to a place where there was some water. The official said, "Look! Here is some water. Why can't I be baptized?"

Act 8:37 (SEE 8:36)

Act 8:38 He ordered the chariot to stop. Then they both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

Act 8:39 After they had come out of the water, the Lord's Spirit took Philip away. The official never saw him again, but he was very happy as he went on his way.

Act 8:40 Philip later appeared in Azotus. He went from town to town, all the way to Caesarea, telling people about Jesus.}

The second agents are anointed men of God. If you want to enjoy spiritual revelation you must expose yourself to anointed teaching of anointed messenger.

3. Psalm 73 : 14 – 18 { Psa 73:14 I am sick all day, and I am punished each morning.

Psa 73:15 If I had said evil things, I would not have been loyal to your people.

Psa 73:16 It was hard for me to understand all this!

Psa 73:17 Then I went to your temple, and there I understood what will happen to my enemies.

Psa 73:18 You will make them stumble, never to get up again.}

Zion is a place of revelation. There is high of having understanding in church because it is God’s presence.

Zion is a place where God gives lecture to people.

God doesn’t speak to those who don’t have time to come to his house. God speaks in Zion; he opens the ear of people in Zion.
