"God has shone in…for the shining forth." Here we learn that we are not meant to be the terminals of God's blessings but only the channels. The expression "God has shone in" refers to our conversion. Whereas in the original creation He commanded light to shine, in the new creation He Himself has shone in our hearts.

God… was pleased to reveal His Son in me.
(Galatians 1:15,16 NIV)


Spiritual discernment, perception,
understanding and intelligence are all too rare. The causes are many. The
engrossment with the work and its multifarious concerns; the rush and hurry of
life; the restless spirit of the age; these, with an exhaustive provision of
external religious...

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12 ESV)



Those of us who have tasted of this world's springs have recognized the kinship between what is there and what is in religion so far as that soul-nature is concerned. It is only a matter of difference of realm, not of nature. What the music and drama of the...

It pleased God… to reveal His Son in me. (Galatians 1:15,16)

If Christ, the Son of God’s love, is central and supreme in the heart of the believer so much else goes down, it must go down. Controversies with God will divide, but those artificial things, those things resultant from man’s activity and his projecting of himself, insinuating of himself into the interests of God, those things cannot abide where...

God... has
shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)


The Letter to
the Galatians really can be summed up in this way: a Christian is not one who

I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but
it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12)


The certainty and
the assurance that was right at the root of his Christian life and
service came because of this one thing: he'd seen everything in Jesus.
Everything... in Jesus. What liberation that brought to him! What
emancipation!...

When He... was pleased to reveal His Son to me... I did not immediately consult with anyone. (Galatians 1:15,16 ESV)












I do not know what the apostles might have
said if Paul had gone to see them, but seeing that they had not had the
revelation that he had had and they had not the call that he had (theirs was not an

It pleased God... to reveal
His Son in me, that I might preach Him. (Galatians 1:15,16)



Since Paul’s day so very much
of Christian activity has been the furthering of a movement, the propagating of
a teaching, and the furthering of the interests of an institution. It is not a
movement, nor to establish a movement in the Earth and to get followers,
adherents,...

who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God

I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12 NLT)












For strength to overcome and

can! A revelation that is within one's spirit and not a mental...
