There’s a big difference between knowing something mentally, and knowing it experientially and intimately. People can be acquainted with one another, but a husband and wife know each other in a much more intimate way. Demons know Jesus is Lord, but we know Him as Lord in a way that causes us to receive Him and have an encounter with Him.
So, you see, knowing something mentally is never enough in the spiritual realm. It’s the same reason an unbeliever can read the same Bible we do but never see what it is revealing. That’s where so many Christians get stuck. They know God is good, but they’ve never had the kind of revelation that makes them know His goodness toward them.
If that’s where you are today, you don’t have to stay there. Just as we can never say, “Hey, I’ve read the Bible through once; I think I’m good,” we also can never be content to say that we are just fine in the area of receiving revelation of the goodness of God. It is a continual pursuit—and one worth going after.
Let your hunger for more of Him guide you today as you pray this prayer to receive revelation of the goodness of God in your life.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I praise You, thank You and glorify You. I confess today that You are a good God and that Your desire toward me is always, always, always good—no matter what. I thank You that You desire only good things for me and never bad. And You never want me to go without the things You’ve promised.
I thank You that You desire my body to be free from sickness and disease every minute of every day for the rest of my life. I thank You that Your desire for me is to be financially abundant and walking in plenty. I thank You that Your desire for me is to have a happy, loving and strong family—a spouse, children and healthy extended-family relationships. I thank You that Your goodness is what longs to give me the desires of my heart.
Lord, I’m asking You today to give me a deep, intimate revelation of Your goodness toward me. I ask that You will reveal to me any areas where I am unknowingly questioning Your goodness, and help me eradicate them from my life forever in Jesus’ Name. I ask You to cause scriptures from Your Word pertaining to Your goodness to jump out at me and penetrate me—spirit, soul and body.
Father, I ask You to help me to throw off those things that hinder—wrong beliefs, wrong thoughts, wrong mindsets. I shake those loose from me now in Jesus’ Name. I choose to believe Your Word and only Your Word.
I pray all these things in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
Do you believe you receive it? If your answer is yes, you have already moved one step closer to living in this revelation! Don’t take it lightly. Revelation of God’s goodness will swing wide open the doors of BLESSING and opportunity in your life. And the freedom, peace and joy that come from this revelation are like nothing else you’ll ever experience!
