In Acts 5:15, people where healed when the shadow of Peter fell on them. Why did Peter’s shadow heal people and our shadows do not? It’s the condition of the Holy Spirit within us. Peter’s was stirred up and flashing like electricity because of his encounters with Jesus and His Word. In Isaiah 55:11 God says He has spoken His Word and it will not come back to Him void. Could that mean that if we speak His Word out of our mouths and it goes back to Him, that completes the circuit and His Word will then accomplish what it was sent to accomplish?

We tend to shy away from people who we consider beneath us or different from us or evil people because we’re afraid, intimidated or uncomfortable around them. If we have the love and power of God alive and working in us, we will see them as Jesus did and not be uncomfortable. We will feel compassionate toward them and authoritative to their ways. We must reach out to these people to share the love of God and, be assured, God will place them in our path every day!

During a time of intercesion, the Holy Spirit kept saying to me, “Release”. I understand that to mean we need to release whatever we are struggling with to God. It will then be, “out of our hands” and we shouldn’t take it back! Even when we dont’ see results or when the devil lies to us about it. We will have freedom from the burden of the thing we released.

But, when we release things to God, He will probably say something like, “I’ll take care of this thing you’ve released to Me but are you also giving me permission to change some things in you?” God is always wanting to mold us and shape us into His original plan for us so we should answer, “Do whatever you want to do God.”

On the road to Heaven, we are busily and quickly “working” for God as we walk with Him. But, sometimes we miss the happiness and blessings growing on the side of the road because we don’t take the time from “God’s” work to slow down and enjoy what He’s planted along the way. We need to walk WITH Him and not try to run ahead!

“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:18

“How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery, whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.” Ephesians 3: 3-4 KJV

Over the last few years, God has been giving me revelations, glimpses if you will, into His Word, that have opened to me some of the hidden mysteries of the Bible. The verses I’ve read for years but did not understand now have new meaning and are proving useful for encouraging, edifying and helping the people around me. I believe God is preparing me for some greater work as He has purposed for all of us to do for Him and in His name.

These “revelations” have come to me mostly while driving, (thus the title), and during prayer, Bible reading and listening to tapes. I publish them for your benefit with the hope that you will gain greater insight into “the mysteries of God”, as I have, and that it will make you a better Christian. May God bless you as you earnestly seek His will and purpose for your life.
