“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:” – Ephesians 1:17 (KJV)
By grace, everything has been supplied to us. Irrespective of where you find yourself, everything you need in life has been provided through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us” (Ephesians 1:3 NKJV). That means you have been empowered. Jesus said in the book of John 17:22: “…the glory which you gave me I have given to them…” (NKJV) “…As the Father has sent me, I also send you…” (John 20:21 NKJV). That is why our faith will be challenged. Our faith will be challenged in such a way that if care is not taken some will give up faith.
We are in a very critical time in the history of mankind and I see a lot of believers growing weary, fainting, discouraged and frustrated as if God has fallen off His throne. But the last time I checked, He is still seated and laughing at the devil. He is not scratching His head wondering how He is going to pull off this new trick that the devil has played on His children. No! The victory is already won! Jesus is not going to go to the cross again. He had gone to the cross and declared to us that all power in heaven and earth had been given to Him. The enemy we are contending with is a lion that has no teeth. All the teeth have been broken!
All you need is a revelation. David was able to fight and defeat Goliath because of the revelation he had. Remember what the ancient prophet of God, Isaiah said both the goldsmith and the weapon he is forming were made by Jehovah. He made the native doctor! He made that herbalist! He made even the things they are using. And God said let me tell you something you don’t know: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper…” (Isaiah 54:17 KJV).
