• To backslide is easy.
• It’s very easy to lose your walk with God while it takes time to build it up.
• Food plays an essential role to your body.
• All the functions our bodies are able to perform are because of the energy food provides to our bodies.
• Imagine how weak many people’s spirits are because they have not been fed.
• Your spirit is the one that fights battles.
• Your body is just being used by the spirit to launch attacks.
• In most cases, when the body is overfed, it even hinders the work of the spirit.
• None of us is as old as satan, the bible calls him an old serpent.
• He has so much experience and we cannot beat him with our human experience.
• On your own and without Jesus, you are nothing against satan.
• Satan knows all the weaknesses of men and has perfected the art of bringing people down.
• If God doesn’t help us, we won’t make it.
• Satan waits for an opportune time.
• Before that, he will watch your steps and your commitment.
• An evil day comes when you are off guard.
• Battles of life have no time table.
• When you think everything is alright, that is when the enemy will strike.

THE SPIRIT OF REVELATION (THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING)
Eph 1:17-19
• This spirit is the believer’s eyesight.
• This is not knowledge that you read in a newspaper, it is revealed knowledge that only God knows.
• When you see it, understand it and apply it, you rise above whatever you are facing.
• Revelation is the ability to see what God is saying in the word.
• This usually works with the spirit of wisdom because you need to apply what you see.
• Just hearing something is information. It becomes revelation when you see it.
• This spirit of revelation opens our spiritual eyes to see and opens our spiritual understanding of the truth of God’s word (Mat 13:23).
• The only word that will ever produce fruit in your life is the one you have understood.
• This spirit of revelation makes us to be of quick understanding in the knowledge of God and grants us access to the greatness of his power.
• When we are reading the word, this spirit makes us to see what others can’t see, including professors who teach theology.
• Revealed knowledge is superior to anything else.
• The revelation that comes from God is superior the the condition you are in, the circumstances, whatever you are seeing because the word of the Lord supersedes everything else.

WHY DO WE NEED THE SPIRIT OF REVELATION?
1. God has new things in store for us every day (Rom 11:33, 1 Cor 8:2, Lam 3:22-23)
• The little you know is not enough, there is more that God wants you to know on every subject matter.

2. Empowers our capacity to understand God’s word when we read or hear (John 16:12-13)
• Once you understand, faith is automatic.
• If you are still conscious of people laughing at you for carrying out what you hear from God, you’re still operating in the flesh.
• A spiritual man behaves like a mad man.
• Every time the agenda of satan is revealed through the spirit of revelation, that thing is over.
