Kathryn Kuhlman in one of her messages said something which struck me, she said:
Everyone at a point(s) in life, whether a Believer or not, will go through a difficult trial, and anyone who endures and passes these tests, will come out stronger. If you are alive on earth, you will definitely have a season of real uncommon trial, uncommon because you will want to quit, as that would be the only feasible option…
You know, that’s biblical – in John 16:33 Jesus makes us know that we will sure have trials.
One time, I was meditating and a friend came to mind – a very close friend and mentor in faith during my undergrad. I had observed him go through real trials and always come out stronger (and deeper in faith). I was pondering over all these while praying and God said to me: Ask for the revelation of the cross. And I asked for it, I never knew it meant that it was time to quit milk for meat – I Corinthians 3:2, Hebrews 5:12). So, what I will be sharing with you this summer is some of the notes and exercises I got from that fellowship with the Holy Spirit, on the revelation of the cross – composed of seven facets;
- The suffering
- The hell
- The joy
- The love
- The forgiveness
- The total surrender
- The fellowship
The revelation of the cross is by the Spirit (nothing to do with the flesh), it is not baptism of the Spirit – the baptism comes before. Without the revelation of the cross it is difficult to understand the point of intimacy where all that spurs in you is readiness to be a martyr for Christ; in other words we cannot, without this revelation, say – it’s all about you Jesus, and really mean it.
See you in the next session. God bless you.
