When revelation comes and we believe in the unseen and eternal truth, we watch the Holy Spirit make that truth a living reality in our soul. Christ can only live out of the revelation that we have of His character. For example, if you are greedy and covetous, and God reveals to you that Christ is totally sufficient, and you believe that, then the Holy Spirit lines up your soul with that eternal truth alive in your spirit. You won t have to satisfy your needs through greed anymore, but will live through the knowing that Christ is meeting your needs moment by moment. Your soul is turned to the spirit, and focuses on the unseen and eternal.
Revelation is a prerequisite to our soul lining up with our spirit.
There is a timing in God s plan to recapture our soul. He lets it sit there until it s done a work in us. In that process, though, He is bringing revelation to us, causing us to focus on Him and not the problem. Just as a baby stumbles and falls when he first learns to walk, so it is when we first begin to allow Christ to live through our soul in a newly revealed way. Old habits and patterns that were ingrained for years take time to change.
