To be Enlightened
Knowledge, knowing, revelation is light; the knowledge of who God his, his ways, power, might, is light.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6 KJV
“the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,”
Ephesians 1:18 NKJV
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Hosea 4:6 KJV
Power of Light
Before we can do anything we need to be enlightened first; you are only as powerful as you know; and even more, knowing accurately.
So we need to study, read the word, we need to be Enlightened first to be Empowered and Equipped to DO.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Psalm 119:130 KJV
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple”
And we need to study continuously, there is a thing as Knowing only, knowing incorrectly/the wrong things. The power lies in knowing the correct thing; your light is as much as you know, and you only shine forth, be, as much as you know correctly and accurately.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 AMP
“And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit”.
You can have the passion, the zeal, desire like Apollos, who went about teaching in Ephesus, but he only could teach as much as he knew, he could enlighten the people as much as he was enlightened, and we saw that he only knew about the baptism of John until Aquila and Priscilla took him and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Acts 18:25 NKJV
“This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.”
The Holy spirit Helps you be Enlightened to BE, He is the author of the scriptures, so let HIM guide you in the study of the word of God and as HE guides you, HE opens the eyes of your understanding and reveals to you the deep things of GOD.
These are just some areas we need to be Enlightened on as Christian’s:
The ways of God
Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV
““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
His will and plan for our lives
Ephesians 5:17 NKJV
“Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
