''That I may know you''.

 

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection” (Philippians 3:10) is more than a scripture—it is a prayer of daily alignment with God.

When the Holy Ghost comes and quickens our minds and spirits, we begin to realize that Jesus can be seen in everything around us. Creation itself bears witness to Him. The beauty of creation reveals that there is a Supreme Being who designed all things. Nothing simply comes into existence by chance; creation points back to the Creator.

Romans 1:20 (KJV) 

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

This is why our regular prayer should be that the Lord quickens our minds—to comprehend His Word, t and even His spoken instructions to us. The Lord often speaks in parables (Matthew 13:13). He shows us things and then watches to see our willingness to search them out.

Scripture tells us, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter” (Proverbs 25:2). In the process of searching, the spirit of wisdom is activated. The Holy Spirit begins to impress His thoughts upon us—“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16). He thinks through us.

Quickening is a process. You grow in it. “But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). So do not be in a hurry. Stay with the Word until understanding comes. It is the Word you truly know that you will stand upon in the day of challenge—“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Let our daily prayer be:
“That I may know You and the power of Your resurrection” 
Lord, quicken my mind to see You, to sense You, and to comprehend what You reveal to me.

Stay revived.
