Unveiling the Divine Hunger: Knowing Jesus and the Power of His Resurrection
Within the spirit of every born again child of God, there is a divine hunger. That hunger cannot be satisfied either by the things of this world or by religion.
It is not a desire that fades with time. On the contrary the longer we walk with God, the stronger it grows.
The apostle Paul walked in more revelation knowledge than any man except Jesus, yet when he wrote to his Philippians partners, he expressed a spiritual hunger that was so powerful it completely overshadowed everything else in his life. “I count all things but loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ (the anointed) Jesus my Lord and (His anointing) .. That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection” (Philippians 3:8-10).
When you read those words, you can see exactly what Paul desired… A deeper revelation of Jesus and His anointing.. And to know the power of His resurrection.
What is the power of His resurrection?
According to Romans 6:3-4 Jesus was raised from the dead by the Glory of God. So the power of His resurrection is actually the Glory. Pauls burning desire was to know Jesus and to know the Glory of God.
The Glory of God is the most inspiring subject in the bible. It is so big you have to read the old and New Testament front to back to begin to get insight into it.
In Exodus 33:18, Moses cried out to God to show him His Glory. God replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before thee” (verse 19). Gods Glory is also His goodness. God’s Glory is Himself.
Jesus is filled with and surrounded by Glory and all that it is. His is untouchable by death ever again. He walks in all authority both spiritually and physically in heaven and earth.
Everything man has and everything God has rolled up into being with Glory of God flowing in His veins. Jesus and we are destined to be conformed to his image. We are headed towards the same fullness of Glory. That’s why Jesus died for us. That’s why He raised again so He could bring many sons and daughters unto Glory (Hebrews 2:10) Romans 3: 23 says “for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God”
But praise God, Jesus took our sins and bore the penalty of it. Therefore we can know the Glory. We can partake of the Glory. We can let it permeate our lives and change everything. Get in on it. Get an understanding of it. Walk in the Glory.
Say it:
I am determined to know Jesus and the power of His resurrection. – Philippians 3:10 (Never give up
