Pribadi Agung, sang raja Kemuliaan

Kita harus bersyukur bisa mengenal satu Pribadi yang sangat penting bagi keselamatan umat manusia. "Siapakah itu Raja Kemuliaan?" (Mzm. 24:8). Daud sang pemazmur menyebut Tuhan Mahakuasa sebagai Pencipta, Pemelihara, dan Penguasa segala sesuatu. Ia bernyanyi, "Tuhanlah yang empunya bumi serta segala isinya, dan dunia serta yang diam di dalamnya. Sebab Dialah yang mendasarkannya di atas lautan dan menegakkannya di atas sungai-sungai" (ay.1-2). Dalam kekaguman, Daud menyatakan bahwa Tuhan memang di atas segalanya, tetapi tetap dapat ditemui secara pribadi (ay.3-4). Kita dapat mengenal Dia, dikuatkan oleh-Nya, dan mempercayai Dia untuk berperang bagi kita, karena kita hidup bagi Dia (ay.8).

Allah memberi kesempatan kepada kita untuk menyatakan Dia sebagai Pribadi Agung, satu-satunya yang layak diperkenalkan kepada orang lain. Saat kita mencerminkan karakter-Nya, orang-orang yang belum mengenal Dia akan tergerak untuk bertanya, "Siapa Dia?" Seperti Daud, kita dapat mengarahkan mereka kepada Tuhan dengan penuh kekaguman dan menceritakan tentang diri-Nya!

Apa yang telah Tuhan tunjukkan kepada Anda tentang diri-Nya? Bagaimana Anda dapat membagikan pengalaman tersebut kepada orang lain?

Tuhan, terima kasih atas berkat sukacita dan hak istimewa untuk mengenal-Mu. Engkau juga memberi kami kesempatan untuk memperkenalkan-Mu kepada sesama kami setiap hari.(Dixon)

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
