"How to Receive Spiritual Revelation"

[Coconut]

In Jesus’ day, devout Jews poured enormous effort
into knowing the Word of God, but little into
knowing the heart of God. They ended up knowing
Scripture so well and understanding it so little
that they could "prove" emphatically that the Son
of God was guilty of blasphemy and that it was
their holy duty to murder their Messiah.

The frightening thing is that most of us imagine
we could never make the same mistake as the
clean-living, Bible-revering, Christ-killing
First Century theologians. Tragically, those
devout murderers were equally certain they would
never make the same mistake of their forefathers who murdered the prophets.

Every day, we walk through a spiritual minefield,
foolishly unaware that at any moment just one
false step could be disastrous. The entire
Christian life must be lived in total dependence
upon our Lord. We either cling to Christ,
trusting him alone -- not our intellect,
knowledge and experience -- or the consequences are unthinkable.

Every day, we walk through a spiritual minefield,
foolishly unaware that at any moment just one
false step could be disastrous.

The concept of a minefield is one that invokes a sense of pure chance, as anyone having to pass through one of those knows that without some trusted guidance, like a map of land mines, or a good bomb detector operated by someone trained to use it, is quite an unsettling experience. The whole experience is one of UNFAIRNESS. As for a Christian who knows the voice of the Shepherd, no "minefield" should pose a terrible threat we can't accept. We Christians are assured by God that our steps are directed by Him. The key is to walk each step by the Word of God, and by the Holy Spirit within us. Even if our body takes one wrong physical step, our faith keeps us on His path.
