Psalm 27:4

Revelation(1:1)

--The Secret Place--

Hello friends!! I was praying this morning, and reading in Revelation 1, and as I was reading I was just struck with these words...

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

So I meditated on it, and I was praying about it, and through it and the LORD showed me this interesting fact about the entire book of Revelation, which is alone enough reason to read and meditate on this book over and over and over... and over again. =](I will get to this in just a moment)

Psalm 27:4 says 

ONE THING I have asked of the LORD, and that I shall seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, TO GAZE UPON THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD and to seek Him in His temple.... all the days of my life.

So when we make that one thing our desire, and when we focus in on that one thing,  if we make that one thing-gazing upon Jesus- our pursuit, all of our longings will be forever satisfies. So How do we catch a glimpse of that beauty that our eyes long to see (and not really yet in a physical way, though one day we will see Him with our physical eyes),How do we see Jesus, how do we catch a glimpse of His beauty? 

Of course.... In His Word, accompanied by prayer! If we seek Him in His temple, and get into His word and get revelation on His word, we will end up just inwardly gazing(I hope that makes since, its like getting insight in your heart, and pondering Him, and thinking about Him, because all He is and all He does is beautiful.) upon His beauty, and our inner man will come alive, and we we will live life to the fullest, without any hindrance to the love being poured out to us. This may or may not make since, but to live for God to gaze on the beauty of Jesus is worth dying for(and really this is proved many many many many times in scripture). 

So to bring this back to full circle.

 When I was reading Revelation 1 this morning, I read that line 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ'  I guess I just fell more in love with God, because when it says the revelation of JESUS, to me it reads 'The Revelation of The Beauty of the LORD', or 'The Revelation of BEAUTIFUL' Its like the entire book reflects the beauty of the LORD, that He is good, and righteous and just. It is like we catch a glimpse of who Jesus is, and in this book we see Jesus burn with zealous passion for His Bride.

It came alive to me.

So like, the whole book of Revelation is an insight to the burning heart of our Bridegroom King. Wow. I never thought of it that way, and it make too much since to me. So for us to get to know this Jesus, that everyone talks about, but noone actually looks at, we need to gaze upon Him ourselves, and get into His word. So here is a really big key to seeing the beauty of Jesus in all that He does.

I highly recommend you read Revelation, and as you do pray that it comes alive to you. 

I hope this all makes perfect sense. =]

---Intercession---

Pray for: Wisdom and revelation.... Also the homeless in our city are popping out to me more and more everyday, pray that God would open doors for us to reach out to them, and love the least. 

Father, I just want to ask you, to give us revelation of Jesus, and of Your Word. You are always good, and worthy of praise! We love You!

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Be blessed!
