  • Revealed Knowledge

    I want to first state a few truths that must be understood by all Christians.
    Revelation is hearing God (Yahweh, Yehovah, YHVH) speak to you.
    Some people call revelation by different things, such as epiphany, brainstorm, saw the light, it dawned on me, etc.

    Understand that everyone has had this type of experience at one time or another when studying a book for a class - for instance when something finally made sense after studying something over and over...

    With that in mind, let's discover what the Word says about revelation.

    Please read I Kings 3:3-15a

    Many people believe that Solomon asked for wisdom. That is not wholly true. Read verse 9 again, what did he actually ask for?
    He asked for an understanding heart, a heart to hear God.
    The benefits of a hearing heart are outlined in verses 12-14 - honor, riches and long life. Solomon humbly asked for a heart to hear YHVH God so that he can rule the people justly. Can you see that Solomon had a desire to serve the people with justice?

    Please read Matthew 16:13-19

    What does all this mean in the Greek?
    Blessed = Supremely blessed!

    Jesus called Simon "petros" - meaning a "little rock" in the Greek. He didn't call him Peter.
    Then later Jesus (Yehsua) says: Upon this ROCK I will build my church.
    The Greek here is Petra - mass of rock, bedrock, BIG ROCK.
    Revelation is the bedrock that the church is built upon.

    Even salvation has to come to a person by revelation.

    No revelation = no church, no salvation, no life, no light, no liberty, no healing, etc.

    Of course, revelation must agree with the Word of the one true living, almighty and gracious God YHVH. It takes practice to hear His voice. The first time, the light might seem hazy, or like a muffled voice. Over time, the practitioner develops this ability to hear the almighty and true God YHVH and more exact things are discerned. That is when the hearer can hear YHVH God clearly enough to understand the instruction and act on it.

    Is there a way to get revelation to happen? Yes. It takes some work, but generally, early revelations come easily. Meditation of a scripture is one of the highest forms of "chasing" a revelation. I recommend it completely.

    Meditation = a quiet, still place (worship music or some source of "white" noise is fine), thinking about the scripture over and over in prayer, praying the scripture, examining what happened just before and just after the scripture...

    Many men have tried to figure out scripture with their mind alone. That is how denominations and misinterpretations came into being. Using your mind is not a bad thing, just don't rely on it as the primary source. Learn to listen to your spirit. The Holy Spirit will talk to you through your spirit. Having this happen many many times will result in your mind being renewed to the truth. It is then that you begin to think as the one true almighty and living YHVH God.
