Connecting With Jesus

Goodmorning and Happy Sabbath. The title of the message this morning is,

To Enlighten My Understanding .

( The God of our Lord Jesus Christ , the Father of glory , may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him : the eyes of your understanding being enlightened ; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling , and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . ) Ephesians 1:17, 18

For the mind renewed by the Holy Spirit , divine beauty and celestial light shine from the sacred page . That which is to the earthly mind a desolate wilderness , to the spiritual mind becomes a land of living streams
The Holy Spirit alone can cause us to feel the importance of these things easy to be understood , or prevent us from wresting truths difficult of comprehension . It is the office of holy angels to prepare the heart so to comprehend God’s Word that we shall be charmed with its beauty , admonished by its warnings , or animated and strengthen by its promises . We should make the psalmist ‘s petition our own , ” Open Thou mine eyes , that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law .”
God’ s holy educating Spirit is in His word . A light , a new and preciuos light , shines forth from every page . Truth is there revealed , and words and sentences are made bright and appropriate for theb occation , as the voice of God speaking to them .
We need to recognize the Holy Spirit as our enlightener . That Spirit loves to address the children , and discover to them the treasures and beauties of the Word .The promises spoken by our Great Teacher will captivate the senses and animate the soul of the child with a spiritual power that is divine . There will grow in the receptive mind a familiarity with divine things which will be as a barricade against the temptations of the enemy . . . The sparks of heavenly love will fall upon the hearts of the children as an inspiration.
