(The Spirit Of Wisdom For Revelation)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 1:17-18
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 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.”

LET’S TALK
The underlined portion in our opening scripture seems to suggest that the Apostle Paul was referring to two different things: “the spirit of wisdom” and “the spirit of revelation.”

No, he wasn’t. Instead, he was dealing with one and the same thing: the Spirit of wisdom bringing you revelation—the unveiling of mysteries—”apocalupsis” (Greek).

The Spirit of wisdom refers to the operations of the Spirit of God manifesting Himself in wisdom. The use of the word “and” in that expression needs to be properly understood.

In the Greek rendering, the word translated “and” is also translated “in,” “with,” or “for.”

Therefore, a better rendering of that expression is “the spirit of wisdom in revelation” or “the spirit of wisdom for revelation” in the exact knowledge of God.

In the Amplified Classic version, it says, “[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him” (Ephesians 1:17).

This is the ministry of the Spirit of wisdom in your life: He brings you revelation—insight into mysteries and secrets.

Secondly, He brings you light (Greek: photizo). He floods your path with light and illuminates your mind with extraordinary sagacity and amplitude of comprehension.

Thirdly, He brings you counsel and direction such that life ceases to be mysterious to you.

Always acknowledge that you’re filled with the Spirit of God in wisdom and spiritual understanding; therefore, you know and can discern His will. Glory to God!
