You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14
When there is no knowledge or revelation of God, the enemy builds a stronghold. One of the weapons most used by the enemy is ignorance. When we lack knowledge in a certain area, that is where the enemy sets up a stronghold. That is why we should not rely solely on obtaining understanding from books, but seek understanding in the knowledge that God reveals to us. He wants us to come out of ignorance, and know Him in the present, through His works and His Word. Why? Because the more knowledge we have, the more territory we deny the enemy from which to attack us, as we become carriers of the light of God.
His revealed knowledge is tied to the coming of Christ. Therefore, it is always God who chooses to reveal Himself to those who want to have an intimate relationship with Him. For this very reason, Jesus did not reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom to the religious leaders of His time, and taught us not to cast our pearls to swine (Mt. 7:6). In summation I state that you will always be weak in those areas where you lack revelation.

Pray with me
Heavenly Father, Your right hand is powerful to demolish every stronghold, and Your love covers a multitude of sins. Lord, today I receive Your revealed knowledge, I take Your hand, and choose to love and serve You only. In doing so, the devil has to flee from my mind, my house and my finances. I thank you Father, in the name of Jesus, amen.
