“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” Matthew 6:22-23 (NKJV)
This scripture means a lot of things. I’ve been taught by my prophetic mentor, Prophet Lovy, something I’ve had a hunch on for a while, since practically right after I received the Holy Spirit.
It’s amazing how some of the greatest revelations came to me when I was just a spiritual baby. Perhaps it’s that people know what they want to be when they’re young, and slowly the world drives it out of them, taking it with the worries we people of the world tend to face.
I neglected these revelations because they were not taught in the church nor looked upon by any of my Christian peers as valuable, when I told them.
So, naturally, I started thinking that these “revelations” might be incorrect, until I came through my walk with the Lord to realize that so much that He has shown me, personally and through others, that I had thrown out, was in fact, true. Could this be true with you as well?
My early hunch was that scriptures, especially prophetic ones (though, all scripture is actually prophetic, but I’m talking about blatantly prophetic ones, like parables/metaphors), have several different meanings. Not just different interpretations – but altogether different levels of meaning and wisdom within each verse of scripture.
These several meanings within scripture is called revelation.
Revelation is meant to reveal you to a new elevation – so you can revel with elation at the elevation of God.
I’ve heard the term “revelation” expressed as such – if the Truth/Word is a light, the prism/refraction point in which you ask/seek the Lord is the Holy Spirit, then what comes out of it is different colors of light. These different colors of light are different meanings, or interpretations, that come up out of the Word to speak to different people in different situations.
“ROYGBIV” means a lot more to us when we know.
Rainbows are simply the refractions of white light down to earth. Through the involvement of this spiritual insight, we see how the Bible is actually telling us much more than we might originally think it is.
I also found that revelations can be blocked from being understood by different people at times. For example, some people, when they look at a verse and try to think about it’s meaning, can find no understanding. Others see worlds, universes, masses of information, and epiphones in just one verse.
This phenomenen depends on the type of eye that you are using, or the way that you are looking at things. Let me explain.
Look at this verse spoken by Jesus –
“In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “ ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.” (Matthew 13:14-16 NIV)
There is a prophetic pattern set forth by every word in the Bible, and every word spoken by God through His prophets are still coming true today.
He is true, He alone is true, and He repeats His pattern because, though His Word was spoken and written down thousands of years ago, He is still continually being true to His own Word.
Like a man of his word who does what he says he’s going to do, He is a Spirit of His Word. I would say that God is a “man of His Word”, but the scripture says, “God is not a man, that he shoud lie…” (Number 23:19), and I’m trying to be scripturally correct in the languange I’m using. Anyway, God is exactly who He says He is.
Every sentence, doctrine, parable, psalm, verse, and every Word has to come true.
The manner in which it comes true is up to Him, for it can manifest in a billion ways, but either way the Spiritual Truth of His Word will turn into physical materialized truth somehow, some way, or another. He is God, after all. His word never has nor ever will return back to him void (Isaiah 55:11).
I see Words as kind of being like birds. Fowls of the air, so to speak. Birds lift off and land, they are in the air, flying. They are typically above us, and rarely come down unless to pick up food or objects for their nest(s). So the Words you speak will go out into your world and land somewhere in the future.
Curses, or bad words spoken over a person, go out into the world in a similar way. Out of the power of the mouth speaks curse(s) and blessing(s). “As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come,” (Proverbs 26:2).
It’s interesting that the Holy Spirit was symbolized by a dove in the Gospels. I don’t think this is a coincidence. Doves are blameless and innocent, and are also used at times in weddings, symbolizing our marriage to Christ as the church is the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-23).
I’m reminded by a proverb in Ecclesiastes 10:20, “Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king, nor in your bedroom curse the rich, for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.”
Words have wings.
The Holy Spirit carries out God’s will, along with other “holy spirits”, so to speak. These are spirits that are holy, like angels and God’s people.
God alone decides who and what’s holy, not us. Just as He decides who’s righteous, meaning ‘in right standing’ with Him, not us. If you are in right standing with another person, then you are justified by them. And if you are in right standing with God, you are also justified by Him.
It can depend who you’re standing with, what you know, what you do with what you know, and above all, what you believe that will tell whether you’re in right standing with someone or not.
If you say you know the Truth but do not do it, do you really know the Truth, or are you just, for a lack of better words, deceiving your own self?
Ignorance is deception, because one does not find something that is truly correct worthy of being involved in their own mental faculties to arrive at a point beyond that. That’s why ignorant people can only get to a certain point – that point by which their own logic, their own mindset allows them to get to, and no further.
People walking in negligence, however, exhibit that they know better, but disregard the knowing for some reason of their own. This is a greater crime against morality than ignorance, in my opinion. One had the full faculties to know what to do in negligence, but they simply decided not to do it. Maybe they didn’t decide at all, which is the same if not worse than deciding not to do a thing.
Wisdom is the key to accessing all your desires.
As Solomon said,
“Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding,” (Proverbs 4:5-7).
“Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light,” (John 12:35-36).
