2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
If we'd like more of God's grace and peace then the Holy Spirit shows us how. He explains that as we grow in our knowledge not just of God our Father but also of Jesus our Lord it will cause His grace and peace to multiply in our lives automatically.
God likes to multiply, not just add to us, because that's just His nature and that's revelation in itself. 😊
Sometimes we can become complacent and think we know enough to get by with. When we're presented with a new thought we can be tempted to shut down and think 'that's not what I was taught so it can't be right'. Are we willing to check with scripture and see if it's right or is there more to know?
The Holy Spirit has been revealing new things about God all through history. During the reformation in 1517 He gave new revelation of grace through Martin Luther that transformed the church, then in the early 1900's there was a mighty move of God, again in the 60's and 70's there was a fresh revelation of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit. (Some of us were actually there for that one.)
God is so big and He wants us to have a bigger picture of Him so His grace and peace can be multiplied in our daily lives. The more we know the more it will flow.
Maybe we need to ask God to increase our desire to know Him more so we know Him better. It's the Holy Spirit's job to give us wisdom and insight and fresh revelation. It's like when we read a familiar scripture and suddenly we see it in a new light - we get revelation and that's what the Holy Spirit wants to do for us all the time. He wants to help us to really know God our Father and Jesus our Lord as real Persons, not just know about them, and open our understanding.
Let's join with the Apostle Paul and pray the prayers the Holy Spirit gave him for each of us in Ephesians 1:16-23, Ephesians 3:14-21. Let's pray them everyday till revelation comes and we see grace and peace multiplied in our lives.😊
Lord help us to get to know you more. Amen.
