SUMMARY:
The way to keep progressing in a walk with God is to seek Him for revelation. A person can come to times which seem to be “dry” or lack a spark, but the important thing is to seek the Lord for a fresh revelation. The Holy Spirit leads into all truth; all you have to do is to ask for it. When we ask, He will reveal to us the next aspect of our relationship with Him.
SHOW NOTES:
The Lord relates to us as He did to Peter, when He asked, “who do you say that I am?” When Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” he was revealing the revelation that the Father had given him.
A revelation does not come by analyzing and reasoning; it comes from God.
The mind of a person can go into reasoning that is not the mind of Christ and can cause us to miss the revelation God is trying to show.
The flow of revelation comes after a person lays aside his own understanding and lack of trust in the Lord and totally relies on whatever God might say.
Getting a revelation from the Lord is creative; it develops something in your relationship with Him.
QUOTATIONS:
There is a personal revelation that we must have to walk in the walk with God and to really reach into a level of really knowing Him.
It is a revelation of the Lord that He is with us, that He never leaves us, that He is the one who directs our path.
Knowing that you have a relationship with God by revelation is the most important thing that you can have in the day that we are living.
If you don't have this, then it's something that you should seek with all your heart.
This revelation is Him in us is a secret in our journey with Him, in our walk with Him, in our relationship with Him.
When we come together and we all have this revelation of Christ in us, the connection we have creates something greater than you are by yourself.
You simply can't walk with the Lord in any effectiveness or any depth at all without a continuing unfolding revelation of Him.
To really get the foundation, to really get the real depth of who the Lord is and to stay on track with what the Holy Spirit is speaking, your revelation really needs to come from the Word.
Even reading the Word, you have to have a revelation. Otherwise, it's just a book with stories.
You have that knowledge by revelation, and every word that you read leaps off the page and ignites our hearts, because it is alive.
REFERENCES:
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know.
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
TAKE AWAY:
When Jesus ascended to the Father, He said He would send an Advocate to walk with us and to lead us into all the Truth. This is very important in order to keep us pressing in to know the Lord and see what He is doing. The Holy Spirit can help us to have a revelation and take steps to grow in our relationship with the Lord. It's important to get a foundation in His Word and ask Him to make that Word real—to get an unfolding revelation.
