Knowledge to Revelation

The Apostle Paul prayed frequently for the Church, something we seldom do ourselves. He prayed, as we should, regularly, for revelation of God's love. In Ephesians 1:17 Paul prays that people will have wisdom and a revelation. We also need to pray and seek revelations for others, so that they can see the prospects and potential change that you can see in them. Sometimes though, people just aren't ready to see the change or to even change, so we just have to be patient.

These days we are so educated that it has got to the point of being far beyond our level of obedience. Some people do so much Bible study that it gets to the point where they forgive people before the act needing forgiveness has even been committed!

Information from study is pretty much useless unless it is turned into revelation. Knowledge can be pretty deceiving. We think that because we've heard new knowledge that we know it, but this is not the case. If we are not turning knowledge into revelation on a regular basis then learning is of no use. Sitting in a church each Sunday being spoon fed means nothing if you don't go away and meditate on it, speak it out loud and go live it. If you don't do so immediately, the pastor's Word will disappear into the ether. There is absolutely no point in listening, reading and watching if we are not prepared to move further with it (Mark 4:24).

There is a victorious life to be had for all of us - Go for it! Don't expect someone else to get you there. Meditate on it and make it real. We are meant to know God, not know of God. Hope should also be an integral part of our lives. It should be a habit, an addiction and should ensure that there is no room for negativity (Ephesians 1:18).

We are a co-inheritor of Christ. Everything that He earned, we get shares in. Jesus paid the price and we were set free from the power of sin.

God's power is in us. It is immeasurable and unlimited, so why are so many of us living such a weak and miserable life? Lack of revelation. We let our life circumstances take the Word of God away from us, take our knowledge away. Job went through so much but was victorious as he knew God and trusted in Him by revelation. Revelation is something that cannot be taken away from you no matter what. God has given us all a measure of revelation but non-believers are unable to acknowledge that.

 

The greater our revelation becomes, the more we see that the realm of God is all that we need.
