Bible Question: What does the candle or lamp signify? |
Bible Answer: Romans8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. The spirit of man united with the Spirit of God reveals the deep secrets of the soul. Thus healing,and transformation begins here. We are changed from the inside out. This is why changing our actions (as under the old covenant) was insufficient as it did not change the heart.Jesus said I am the light of the world... The lamp of the spirit searches our innermost parts, our motives, and reveals them. Likewise the Spirit of God searches and reveals His nature to us when He comes to dwell in us. Otherwise we would have no understanding or true knowledge of Him and His will. Visualize a man carrying a lamp into your soul revealing the dark corners and crevices and bringing to light the dark things so they can be healed. Hidden things do not get healed until they are brought to the light. See...and consider Psalm 119:104-106 The Word is a lamp John 1:1 Jesus it the word John 8:12 Jesus is the light of the world Matthew 5:14 We are the light of the world Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, Revelation, Enlightened, Illuminated. Does this help? |
