Why being clean in our heart is so important

The interesting thing is the word “Kataras” is the same word used in Matt. 5 When Jesus said blessed are the “kataras” in heart for they shall see God. It has been translated pure wrongly. It should be translated systematically through the bible; blessed are those who are clean. How do we get cleansed? How do we get pure? By the word of God in our lives. Like a two-edged sword, it divides the spirit and soul so that Christ’s image can be seen clearly in your life. It is a “meno” process growing in our life. And as He reveals Jesus more and more to our lives.



There come a time when we will begin to have emphanizo the manifestation. The first work of the Spirit of God is more growing Jesus in us. At first your tangibility is not so clear. You can’t really feel or sense it. Some people get born again and they have tremendous experiences. Some seem to sense easier than others. But all of us still need to grow. There is a level of tangibility where you grow more and more and you are conscious of Ephesians chapter 3 where it is proportional to the strength to your inner man. As your inner man is strengthened more Christ dwell more. What happen if you keep that process on and on? It has to explore somewhere. It has to lead somewhere. It will lead to a point where the tangibility is very visible and the manifestation.



Blessed are the “kataros” in heart for they shall see God. What happens when it began to be tangible and it manifests. The second point you need to understand that emphanizo the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every one. The emphanizo is the manifestation and under the manifestation when you reach that point the Spirit of God began to bring a different flow on you. He began to enlighten you. Just as “meno” deals with your spirit man, emphanizo the manifestation has to deal with the eyes of our understanding. Eph. 1:17-19 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of glorious inheritance in the saints.



Notice in verse 18 your soul starts being affected. The eyes of your “dianoia” the understanding come. The spirit of wisdom and understanding produces understanding. It’s the second flow of the Spirit of God. And understanding come, knowledge comes, a higher realm of knowing. It comes through revelation and not acquirement. You can acquire all you want and cannot get it but when God shows you then you get it. It’s a different realm altogether. When the spirit of wisdom and understanding works He comes in only after the Spirit of the Lord has completed His work. When His presence comes to a certain degree then knowing becomes automatic. You don’t try to pick up things. You let His presence grow on your inside. When He grows to a certain level the knowing part is automatic. Its more the strength of His presence produces the degree of the understanding.



Let me quote from other people’s experience. Some of you read John G. Lake’s book. John G. Lake described an experience in his life when he was very hungry for the Holy Spirit. He cried out to God. What was he doing; abiding process. Abiding process is 2 fold love and the Word. Love for God and love for the Word. Then he says one day the Spirit of God came. It was so powerful that when he laid hands on one of the sick person and the other person who lay hand on the sick person felt the power of God flow to John G. Lake into the sick person out of the sick person into that person and he got thrown back. Then he described some of his experiences in Africa. He says that when he laid hands on somebody he knows exactly which organ was wrong.



Based on that I could substantiate what I am teaching in the word with more experiences by showing that how we know is proportional to the degree of the presence. If you know that the knowing in the spirit is proportional to the degree of His presence what should you do? You should not try to know. Knowing in the spirit realm is a different style. We are so used in this world’s way. We got to educate, we got to learn, we are so used to this world’s way. Knowing from the spirit realm is different. It is proportional to the degree of that person. So when you minister to somebody the higher the degree of God’s presence the more details you can know. The less degree of presence the less you know.



Look at Eph.1:18 Having the eyes of understanding be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you. According to the degree of light it will produce the same degree of understanding. Look at those 2 words one is the word understanding the other is the word enlightened. Can you see that there is a proportion? That the more light there is the more understanding there is. It is just like a natural illustration that when you go out into a dark forest the more light there is you see more. The less light you see less. Now the degree of light is proportional to the degree of His presence. The presence of God produces the understanding. And to know is more a degree of presence than the degree of acquirement. That is why the more you seek God’s presence the more intelligent you will be.
