Did you know that God wants to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation? And why - it's in knowing Jesus. And that's the main purpose of the spirit of wisdom and revelation, is that we would have an intimate connection with him. One of the ways you can really connect with the spirit of revelation is by engaging in the heart of worship. And scripture says Jesus said, The Father is seeking those who will worship him in spirit. And in truth, he is looking for worshipers, he's looking for those who will take time to connect with his heart, and that they worship through their lives.

Did you know that God wants to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation? And why – it’s in knowing Jesus. And that’s the main purpose of the spirit of wisdom and revelation, is that we would have an intimate connection with him.
I. The Heart of Worship
One of the ways you can really connect with the spirit of revelation is by engaging in the heart of worship. And scripture says Jesus said, The Father is seeking those who will worship him in spirit. And in truth, he is looking for worshipers, he’s looking for those who will take time to connect with his heart, and that they worship through their lives.
When we worship, by the life, our lives and sacrifice and devotion to Him. Everything that we are and everything we do is an act of worship. Everything that we have to offer to the Lord is an essence worship.
He’s also looking for those who will worship him in the sense of Davidic worship, where you can connect with God like David did. David danced before the Lord. He worshiped the Lord with his voice and with musical instruments, and he just praised the Lord. As he worshipped God he found that place of intimacy and discovered a place of the presence of God – all of this through His worship.
II. The Light of Revelation
David said that there is “no place I would rather be than in Your Presence… better is one day in your courts than 1000 elsewhere.” And so, God wants you to experience that place as well. And when you do, there is an outpouring of the spirit of wisdom and revelation as poured into your life.
Because you’re connecting with God, connecting in the Holy Spirit, communing with the Holy Spirit – in that place of communion the light of revelation comes on. The light of revelation comes on and you see things you didn’t see before. And you see things in a fresh place, a new place and get a fresh perspective – you get Heaven’s perspective. He has actually seated us in Christ in the heavenly places. We are seated with Him. That is spiritual reality. If you’re in Jesus, if you’re in Christ, you’re seated in heavenly realms with Christ Jesus – that’s far above all principality, and power in all spiritual wickedness. We’re in the highest place with Jesus.
III. Rule & Reign with Jesus
He wants you to rule and reign in life. We do that by connecting with his heart, in the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Revelation is God pouring out who He is in you, revealing His divine nature to you.
It’s different than information. We can have libraries of information in our minds and in our brains never really connecting with the Lord – never having any encounter with Him. It’s only through the spirit of revelation, that we actually connect with His heart, and that we actually hear from God. Like Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, they know me and follow Me.” We want to be in a place where we’re listening, we’re hearing and we’re living in a place of devotion. This is where we’re connected with the Lord in that place of communion with the Holy Spirit.
I just submit to you today, spend some time with the Lord – spend some time just hanging out in His Presence. It’s never wasted time. One day in his courts is better than 1000 elsewhere – find that place within today. Blessings to you!

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is so essential for our walk with God, and it's been a long time since I've heard anyone talk about this subject. Ever since I gave my life to Jesus I've practiced "praying in the spirit." In a nutshell I got addicted to enjoying the Presence of God! Turning on some worship music I would engage with God in my heart by just praying in tongues. My heart was connected to the Father in such an intimate way that nothing compared to the simplicity of being with Him. Today I still enjoy that same blessing. When you find the reality of His Presence for your life personally - you always know where to turn! it's never a thought to go anywhere else. Our God is good, and He is the best!

When you grasp how you have been created it helps you to better navigate your relationship with God. The dynamics of the inward battle and how you can fully commit yourself to the purposes of God are easier once you understand that you are a new creation. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 When we look at the language of Paul or even from the angle of a Hebraic mindset, we can see there is a clear understanding of how God has created us - spirit, soul, and body.

When I first came to the Lord at age 19, I remember asking the Lord to restore my heart and mind as I was laying hands on myself in the place of prayer. Knowing that I had come out of a lot of stuff in the world I knew that I needed a refreshing and renewing of my soul in every way. Have you ever been tempted? Of course, you have. We can all be tempted in many ways. You can be tempted to do so many things that are outside the sphere of God's plan for your life. Outside of the most obvious of sins - you may be tempted to complain, to hate, to be rude or many other things.
