Paul
recognized the need of the saint for illumination when he prayed: “That 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 .... “(Ephesians1:17, 18) The determining Scripture on this
work of the Spirit in behalf of the believer is 1Corinthians 2:9-12:
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man
knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we may know
the things that are freely given to us of God.
