There are approximately 100 Bible Verses about Reveal.
Do our human eyes have blinders on ... Do we skip through life hiding our little secrets .. Do we only share things with people that we trust deeply?? You know I do believe we all have those preverbal skeletons in our closets... is there a darker side within our souls?
I do believe we all have been victims of something that we may not fully understand. There a tug-a-war for our very souls.
I can share before my Holy Spirit encounter. I like many of us may have danced on the edge of darkness. The darkness I speak of is not what you may think. It’s a lack of knowledge. Not knowing that we all have been given the right of passage to the Beautiful Kingdom... and if we know this? And do nothing to prepare ourselves for this journey then the knowledge we think we have is void of substance, action and becomes buried deep, within. It has chosen to lay there dormant void of life with a bleak look into eternity.
If you will still your mind and listen with soulful ears you will hear our Savior knocking on the door to your heart. Just open your heart to Him, He will reveal He beauty, He grace, and His amazing love... You will learn so many things about love and life... He will gently guide your life and reveal things to you about you...Things you never even thought of, many were hidden deep in your heart... He will cleanse your soul. And you will experience a beautiful light feeling in your heart. He will free the child within... and you will be loved beyond what you ever dreamed possible. And you will have newfound hope for your future.
He will wow you... Have you ever been wowed by a King ??? I have !!! It is so difficult to put Him into words ??? I have tried and tried ... I can say my life has never been the same... He is the beautiful light at the end of the darkest tunnel...... You will find that He will rescue you from any situation no matter how large or insignificant you may think it may be.
Shh, Listen?? Can you hear Him? He is knocking ???
It’s Him. Trust Him. Love Him.
I am the Light of the world” (John 8:12)
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
I will ask, Father “Teach us how to love like you!”
Meaning of taught past tense: taught; past participle: of the word teach. To show or explain to (someone) how to do something.
We located 79 verses in the KJV Bible.
Are we open to learning? Are we so full of self that we have forgotten the art of listening? Or are we so distracted with technology and life that we can not turn our focus to God for longer than a few hours, on a Sunday morning? Can we turn off our outside stimulation long enough to hear His voice, see His wonders, and learn something new? He is such a wealth of information! And He is so willing to share it with those who are hungry to know more...
Throughout history, we can study many cases where He gave them the knowledge to learn and experience many life lessons.
If we travel back to the beginning of time... To the time of Adam and Eve’s creation ... We find scriptures that teach us that they were made in God's image.. However, they were not born as an infant; they were created as an adult in physical features. However, I believe they had to be taught everything... They were not created all-knowing... God Himself had to share His knowledge of how to survive in this new, amazing world He created for them called Paradise ...
I am sure it was an amazing time... Much like children, they must have had the excitement of discovering new things!!! The couple forged ahead and grew in knowledge with each new day. But we all know the story. They acted like children and tested God's authority and disobeyed His rules ?? I believe that many of us today display the same behavior. They allowed ungodly voices to distract them?? They were enticed by a distraction that held hollow earthly promises .. They showed weakness and fell into its snare. And as we know, they ate the forbidden fruit, which led them astray.
There does seem to always be a deep price to pay for actions that go against the teachings of God... Harshly, they were banished from everything they grew to love.. They gathered the lessons they had been taught and traveled out into a scary world. Where life trials became more difficult than they had ever dreamed... I am sure they yearned to return to the once beautiful, simplistic life they had grown to love ...
But even in the most difficult times, there are lessons to be learned... Do we become bitter? Or do we ask for forgiveness? Do we silence our minds and humble ourselves before our Creator?
God may have banished them from the garden, but He never banished them from His heart.. He still loved them even after their fall from His Grace..
However, because of their human weaknesses, God laid out a plan to save all future generations.
He orchestrated the biggest visual aid just to teach the greatest lesson to all mankind. He gave the world the most amazing gift!!! .. He gave us a piece of Himself... We call Him Jesus... born as an infant... He needed to learn all that God required of Him.. He was taught by the greatest teacher of all time! He was taught by the Creator of all things! Our Heavenly Father ..
The difference between the two historical stories is that Jesus made the time to listen... He spent many hours getting to know God’s heart. He grew in His knowledge of The Father and shared it with the world...He learned and obeyed the rules... He loved His Father so intimately His obedience came naturally... He never wanted to disappoint His Father...
His life reflects the wisdom that has taught many life lessons to all generations .. God filled this willing vessel with the knowledge to complete His mission on earth. Together, they blazed a path for all mankind to receive redemption. They taught us the valuable lesson of what it means to be chosen as a child of God.
We recognize that there is a price to pay for this knowledge... but what is the tuition for such an amazing degree??? And are we a willing vessel to learn such wondrous things from God? These life lessons do not appear the same to all students...
They are taught by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit... They come to us through many resources... we have the basic knowledge... of Reading, Writing, and Visual aids...They know how to stimulate our individual mind, our heart, and our souls... and the biggest lesson that is the most common thread throughout all people and lessons is to love... To love Him !! To Love Him First...
He has placed such amazing value on our individual lives... He has never given up on us !!! Not since the beginning of time... He was even willing to sacrifice His own life to prove just how much He loves us...
The question becomes, can we sacrifice the time to study Him? Can we commit to removing all distractions and spend the time to truly get to know Him intimately? Can we live a life that will make our Heavenly Father proud? What would we sacrifice to prove we love Him with the same passion that He loves us??? Just how good of a student will we become? Will you pass or fail? Will you do your homework?? After all our future for eternity depends on it...
If you need special remediation, call Him... He has all the answers !!
It’s Him, It’s always Him...
Jesus continued, “It has been written by the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God himself.’If you are really listening to the Father and learning directly from him, you will come to me.John 6:45
“If you look at the Bible as a whole, it’s redemptive and beautiful, and it’s God’s love story to mankind.” – Tom Shadyac
Meaning of the word Book : a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.
Twenty-eight Bible verses reference the word “book”.
There are so many books we could have chosen for this word study. However, since this is a Bible word study, we naturally landed on the most amazing book of all time.
Did you know these facts?
By the end of 1995, combined global sales of Today's English Version (Good News) New Testament and Bible (copyright for which is held by the Bible Societies) exceeded 17.75 million copies, and the whole Bible had been translated into 349 languages; 2,123 languages have at least one book of the Bible in that language.https://www.guinnessworldrecords.
The oldest Biblical text that has been found is about 2700 years old
The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words.
There are 23,145 verses in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses in the New Testament. This gives a total of 31,102 verses.
When we look at the facts about this amazing book. A book written so long ago can be mind-blowing. But what happens when we begin to see the words with our spiritual eyes… I know by experience it can blow our souls wide open.
As always, I will share just a little fact about me and my journey. Before I started on this amazing journey, I had never read the Bible. I had a Bible, but I found the book confusing, old, and boring. This square black book that I received over 30 years ago has been sitting quietly on my shelf. It has a gold inscription of my given name on the cover. When I think of all the years it has been with me, I truly do not understand how it survived. I most likely only kept it because my name was so permanently engraved on its cover. It was personalized.
Little did I know how my life would change. As many of you know, a few years ago, I had a Holy Spirit Encounter, and the Bible was not in my sights, nor did I have any desire to read it. I just wanted to feel Him with my spirit. I was on a spiritual quest to know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The three taught me many things about life and love. Somehow, someway, I found that I fell in love with the most amazing soul I have grown to know… And as I shared Him with anyone who would listen. My newfound friend continued her relentless quest to share the importance of His amazing book. Looking back, my friend knew it was time for me to discover more about this amazing soul that lavished this unexplainable love upon my heart…
So, it was in December of 2019. I began to open the pages, and I began the most amazing journey of studying this old, boring book one word at a time. As I touched each word, my heart began to open, and with each word He spoke love to my soul. Each word, each verse, each scripture came alive and brought me to a closer understanding of His amazing love. It’s a masterpiece of wonder! It can take you to places you have never been. I can see and feel His Spirit running through each word, each chapter, each verse.
And now I know why I have carried this square black book with me for the last 30 years. Because He knew that one day His name would be permanently engraved across my heart… He personalized it with His Book and His amazing LOVE.
As many of you know the Bible starts out with this verse “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1 NIV
But I say in the beginning
It’s Him, it’s always HIM. He is the beginning…
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,” Luke 1:3 KJV
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Meaning of blind: unable to see because of injury, disease, or a congenital condition.
There are approximately 74 verses about the word blind.
Our eyes are such an amazing gift… To not be blessed with sight must be such a true challenge. I can not even begin to imagine. I do believe most of us do not give it much thought unless we are faced with a problem with our eyes. The smallest grain of dust can cause such a major discomfort.
Some say the eyes are the window to our soul… So, how does someone that has been blind from birth see? How do they see the beauty that surrounds them daily? I do believe they build extrasensory abilities. Many of these abilities we find difficult to understand. Just how do they do it?
I don’t know exactly how they manage. So before I continue to write about the word blind. I will close my eyes and try an experiment. I will use my ears to hear the music, I will use my sense of touch and my sense of smell and I will see what if anything I can see…Can our spiritual eyes see what our human eyes can not? I say yes, without a doubt I know you can.
My soul felt the beautiful music, as it opened my heart. I could feel the vibrations of the sounds being made. There was a sweet smell of home in the air. And in my mind's eye, I began to see many details of our Savior's face.
I will describe what I saw with my spiritual eyes. He appeared to be approximately 30 years of age. His hair was brown shoulder length. As I approached Him I could look into His eyes they were a deep shade of blue. There I could see His kindness. His beard and mustache were neatly trimmed. And he had the most amazing smile. A smile that can speak volumes to my soul.
So how does this happen? How do we see with our spirit? I believe it is His voice… It calls to our soul. Our soul hears His song of love.. and our heart vibrates to the sound being made while we feel His presence. There is a sense of home felt when He fills your heart with an explainable love. And then the mind paints a picture..with all the detail our sense have gathered. And we can see a vision of Him that speaks to our mind, and then we began to feel Him in our heart and soul.
How sharp are your senses? Do you see our Heavenly Father in your mind's eye? Do you hear His voice? Do feel that sense of home?
If not I urge you to close your eyes. I urge you to invite Him into your heart. Listen for His voice because I know He is calling your name. And if you diligently seek Him you will find Him. And for those who do not believe or that have no desire to find Him. Here is a quote from a remarkable blind soul.
“Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing.” (Helen Keller)
With her extrasensory abilities... She found the beauty in Her soul and shared it with the world. It's not a secret...
It's Him, It's Always Him!
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” John 12:40
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God Second Corinthians 4:4
“Be less religious and discover for yourself how to be intimate with God.” - Sunday Adelaja
Meaning of deeper extending far down from the top or surface: very intense or extreme.
Do we ever stop and dig deeper into life? Do we truly take the time to know ourselves? Our wants? Our passions? Our desires? Or do we skim through life just touching the surface
!! Or do we dive deeper?
When I started my discovery of this word in the Bible it did not seem to take me to the same place my heart wandered. Can we measure love? How deep is our love for God? Can and does it grow deeper each day? Or are we satisfied with the status quo??? Do we go through our daily rituals? Read our Bible say our devotionals and start our day and give Him no other thought until the next morning where we do the same routine? How do we go deeper? How does this spiritual love for Him grow into an intimate affair of our hearts...
We must put Him first in our lives. We must invest our time. We must give Him our heart. We must speak words of love from our soul... We must become as intimate with Him as the breath we take into our lungs...
How deep is your love ?? It is a choice... with the most beautiful destination...
It’s Him, It’s always Him!
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Rev. 3:15

“Love is the beauty of the soul.” – Saint Augustine...
In Scripture, the word soul appears 754 times in the Old Testament and 102 times in the New Testament—856 times in all. Clearly, God wants us to notice the soul.
The soul is the essence of who we truly are. It is our life-source—the God-given flame that burns through eternity. While our body and mind serve as vessels for this earthly journey, it is our soul that carries the magnetic pull to commune with our Creator.
We all travel at different speeds along life’s road. None of us are perfect. We stumble, we falter, we fall short. But each day we are given a choice: to nurture and define who we are in our souls. Our life, our legacy, and our eternity depend on it.
Did you know that Scripture even speaks of God’s own soul (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Just imagine—a God who not only gave us a soul but shares His own heart and essence with us.
The best relationship we could ever know is soul to soul with God. Search your heart. Free your soul. Let Him guide you into the fullness of life everlasting. A happy soul cannot be contained, because it rests secure in what the future holds.
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” – Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
“And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” – John 10:28 (KJV)
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 (KJV)
So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians NIV
🌊✨ September 2, 2018, at 4pm… I stepped into the waters of baptism. That day wasn’t just about going under the water—it was about rising into a love that changed everything.
I crafted a video on that day to share my journey, and today I feel led to share it again. Not because I have all the answers, but because I found the One who is the answer.
If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more—more peace, more hope, more love—there is. His name is Jesus. 💜
This is not just my story… He is writing your story even now. Get to know the Author—He knows your story better than you think.
Born Again (the exact words) is only mentioned 3 times in the King James Version.
Meaning: A person converted to personal faith in Christ.
Born ... Again? How, What, Where? Hmmm... I have heard the words 'Born Again' over the years and had no idea! But what do they truly mean? Do we use these two words to mean multiple things?? Do we say the sinner’s prayer? Do we get Baptized? Do pray? So many options? Sometimes things can be so confusing.
I can only share my experience and thoughts...
As we pointed out in previous studies, we are born with a body, soul, and spirit. That said, the best visual I can share about being Born Again is the following. Picture a pilot light that resides deep within us. It sits there dormant as we move through life. And then one day, when you least expect it... the Holy Spirit will breathe his Holy breath on our wick and heat the embers to a beautiful glow.
As your spirit awakens. You will feel an unexplainable warmth deep in your soul. From that moment, your life will take on new meaning. You will have a new sense of purpose. Your senses will become heightened. You will start seeing things in our world in a new light. The things around you will become beautiful. You will hear birds singing, and you will see the beauty in the vibrant colors of the delicate flower. You will feel newfound freedom in your soul. Your lungs will inhale the sweetness of life. You will taste life like never before. You will find a burning desire to learn more about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And as your confidence grows and you discover the depths of Trinity’s LOVE.
You will feel the need to share this Amazing LOVE with the world and the people around you. So, to sum it up, Born Again is our souls’ response to the Holy Spirit's call to awaken our very spirit. The essence of who we truly are will spill out for the world to see. Lighting the path for others to find their way home.
The Trinity will place you in the state of WOW
😍🥰✝🕊🤟🏼.
The term “born again” refers to a new beginning in the relationship between God and the person who is born again.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Peter 1:23 Born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
John 3:3-7 Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." ⁴"How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!" ⁵Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. ⁶Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. ⁷You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.
Dear God, I am a sinner. I’m sorry for my sin; please forgive me. believe Jesus Christ is Your Son and that He died for my sins and You raised Him to life. I want to invite Him into my heart to take control of my life. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
The Baptism of Jesus
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.”Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him, I am well pleased.”
