Progressive revelation
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.
Psalm 19:8 - The Amplified Bible
We've only just begun to experience what God has provided for us in Jesus. God wants to give us a progressive, ever-increasing revelation of His kingdom. God has anointed us with the Holy Spirit and with power so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God. His Spirit ministers to us God's Word for that purpose. Without that ministry we will be oblivious to what can be through Christ. 1Cor.2:12.
Think about people living on an island. Those who never travel away from that island know little of all the possibilities in the world beyond it. However, give them a good travel book and some encouragement to study it and things can be different! They can begin to get glimpses of the boundless possibilities. Usually they will start to dream of experiencing the sights, cultures and diversities they glimpse in the book. Before long, some of them will take steps to bring the dream into reality. Those with the courage for the journey, will experience what they dreamt of.
Most people live on a tiny island of life. They live in a physical world with its limited horizons. However, give people salvation, the Holy Spirit and some instruction and they can start dreaming of experiencing the sights and sounds of the kingdom of God on earth! The heavenly travel book is the Bible. Get hold of it, open it, study it. Let its words trigger your imagination for what can be for you in your life in Jesus. Start seeing how it can happen in your life. Give the Holy Spirit an opening to enlighten you by His Word.
Let the Spirit and the Word reveal more to you of God!
