The Unveiling

Each of us has had the opportunity to question our actions, motives, thoughts, values, etc. If you are anything like me, you have probably found yourself undergoing intense interrogation and extremely focused scrutiny by the one antagonist that you cannot escape…YOU! You see, God has given us both power and authority to rebuke and/or resist Satan and he will flee at least for a season. But we cannot escape ourselves. I am sure at some point, you have heard the old Chinese proverb, "No matter where you go, there you are," We cannot escape ourselves, and all of the baggage that we carry. When dissatisfied with certain events or outcomes, we start asking questions like, "Why did I say that, or why did I do that, or why didn't I just do what I knew was right…etc..., etc., etc.  

f we are not careful, we will do the enemy's work for him, and allow ourselves to sink further and further into spiritual lethargy and never see the tremendous growth opportunities that each challenge presents. Hebrews 5:8 states that "Jesus learned by the things that he suffered." This means that every one of his life experiences helped to prepare him to be the instrument of His Father's will, honoring, strengthening, and undergirding his resolve "to do the will of him that sent me and to finish this work" (John 4:34 KJV). As with the Lord himself, our individual life experiences have the ability to be transformative, with each building on the former until we become, not who we could be, but who we should be. This transformative process, by which we grow and go from glory to glory, is known as unveiling.
