The Importance of Revelation
Romans 16:25 Amplified Version
Now to Him ‘who is able to strengthen you in the faith which is in accordance with my Gospel and the preaching of (concerning) Jesus Christ (the Messiah), according to the revelation (the unveiling) of the mystery of the plan of redemption which was kept in silence and secret for long ages.
This is why Jesus told Peter upon this rock I will build my church. Flesh and blood did not reveal this unto you but my Father which is in heaven. This rock is the rock of revelation with is the true foundation. Many defy revelation because they are unlearned, unrepentant, or simply stubborn. Many defy because they are concerned more about worldly things and the acceptance of people.
There is power in revelation. God gave us power over all the power of the enemy because the devil has no revelation. God gave that to His sons and daughters in which the devil is not. Revelation is a lifeline. We dial 9-1-1 or whatever emergency line to get assistance in an emergency and we need our emergency life support of revelation to sustain us when things happen. Revelation reveals the past, present, and future. It reveals to us our own heart and who we are. It divides the tares from the wheat. It testifies of the learned and the unlearned.
God uses revelation to explain the why in our lives. For example: why did I have to go this way, why didn’t this work, why do I have to do this again, why did that happen, why do I have to leave, why does this hurt, and so on. God will not have us ignorant. However, being hasty (impatient) can cause one to miss the reveal of understanding. God does not do anything without an expected end. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
Revelation is governmental security. You have to have divine clearance. There is an access code required and your revelation is contingent upon your level of faith, intimacy with the Father, and your position in the spirit. You can have a little word and still be able to receive revelation with an open heart. Adonai does not give revelation to be wasted. He chooses His soldiers wisely. Even when revelation is not taken seriously, it is a testament to the one that received. You can accept it and believe or try to work against it and go through many storms. Thou the righteous have many afflictions for the word sake and is delivered out of them all. The disobedient and unbelieving have to see for themselves by the Hand of God.
King Nebuchadnezzar had a revelation but refused to obey and suffered 7 years as a beast. However, he was humbled, and the Spirit of the Lord returned to him. Yet, his son who had known the story (the revelation) of his father but still disobeyed and paid with his life.
Revelation is a form of impartation. It is stored in us so that we operate correctly. Revelation is the malware and malware remover. We are computers for the Lord. Computers have to be upgraded to have more usable space and optimization. They have to be defragmented to remove useless information and files. The software has to be updated because things are constantly changing, and digital expectation are increased and constantly adapting to the times. In order for us to flow properly and successfully in the spirit, we have to be fine-tuned and sensitive to new alerts.
God downloads new software and upgrades old programs so that new wine can flow. New wine cannot floe out of old programming (old wine skins). We are upgraded to walk in new functions, new ideas, new wisdom, and we are expanded. We have new transmissions and have to submit to the new thing. Like a car, whenever you keep trying to drive a car with a faulty transmission, you strip it more and more and never get out of the spot that you are in. You cannot shift the gears of a wore out transmission. When it is over, we have to let it go. God orders steps and we frustrate the process when we keep trying to do what we think is right or easy.
Some people have a problem comprehending certain people because they are operating on outdated information or personal bias. They did not tune in to the frequency of the viewpoint of heaven. We cannot judge according to natural instincts because there is no good thing in the flesh. We cannot judge according to emotions or frustration. Anger is an emotion that causes more problems. God says that the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God. Love is a sacrifice, but all things must be judged by the spirit in order to have a just balance and pure understanding. They that are spiritual judge by the spirit but they that are natural consider spiritual things to be foolish. These put there trust in the world and in the laws of man.
Revelation is not observation. Observation is being aware of your physical surroundings. Revelation is divine intel. Many deflect their own flaws and faults or judgments on others. They tend to judge others by their own shortcomings or inability to grow up, change, adjust, admit their faults, or just receive simple truth. We, as a people, must be quick to hear and slow to speak.
Revelation is light. When you are light and come in the face of darkness with true revelation, you will be despised. Let me tell you my own testimony for a moment. I had to learn to let go and let God defend me. I tried to defend myself and tell people what God had revealed to me, but they refused to listen. I was lied on, misunderstood, and I was used. God told me that it was not my battle. Like Joseph, I was imprisoned by the opinion of people and left in a pit. I had to rise up and just trust the revelation. God does not lie. He knows what He has ordained. God knows every heart and can turn them any way He pleases. He hardened Pharaoh’s heart in order to get His own glory. David was a king after God’s own heart.
I could not force anyone to see or believe me. God revealed to me that their hearts were cloudy and divided. He will not reveal to those who are not ready to receive the truth. He will not reveal anything that is holy to the dogs. I could not give them clearance. He is the one who removes the blinders and He will do so as He so chooses.
Proverbs chapter 6 verses 17 through 19 speaks of the things that God hates and abomination. The list is a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a false witness that speaks lies and one that sows discord. These are issues of the heart. God knows how to handle every situation but leads us by revelation so we will not be in the dark. He gives us enough to keep us going.
Revelation is not an educated guess. It is inspiration in the presence of truth. We know that the bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will shew you things to come.
When we know the will of God, we speak those things that be not as though they are. We pray according to His will and not amiss. Revelation is for many days and even years sometimes, but God guides and instructs us along the way. Though it tarry wait for it. Many get discouraged because they want quick results. God perfects those things that concern us. Some things have to run their course because of all the defilement or things that are not in line with the Lord’s desired end.
We may have to do some things that appear foolish to men, but it is the wisdom of God. Adonai knows where we need the most work and what is needed to meet the date and requirements of His plan. He knows what He has ordained. Revelation is revealed wisdom, strategy, instruction, understanding status, and the location beacon of the spirit. (Where we are in the plan) True revelation always leads to righteousness. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Revelation is the mystery of Christ.
Revelation is spiritual and is not downloaded to our mind or soul. However, revelation can renew our mind and calm our soul. Sometimes we need to be still and know that He is God. Keep the light on for revelation moves darkness out of the way. Lean not to your own understanding and be not wise in your own eyes. God answers by revelation. Be on alert to know the truth so you can be free.
If God says that you are healed, you are healed take up your bed and walk
If God says this is your soul mate, what God has joined together let no man put asunder
If God says this is your job, house, car, position, ministry, business, increase, or whatever, stand tall and believe the Lord no matter what. When you are prepared to receive it than there will be no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
This day I decree and declare that your revelation has become your situation.
