Christianity has relied too much on what human ears can hear, even though the Bible clearly states that no ear has heard what God has prepared for those who love Him. It goes on to say, “But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:6-10) Many Christians need to be converted from routine religion to heart-to-heart connection with and revelation from God’s Spirit.
Human voices can proclaim God’s actions, love, and mercy, but external sounds can’t reveal His reality, presence, and glory. Only interior revelation that flows directly from Him can do that. Religious information can never replace divine revelation.
Flesh and blood (Matthew 16:17) and the other physical characteristics of your brain can’t show you who the risen Jesus Christ is — “God with us.” (Matthew 1:23) Jesus said: “I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.” (Matthew 11:25)
Revelation will come to you when you embrace humility, joy, and innocent, childlike playfulness. It’s God’s light shining in your heart, (2 Corinthians 4:6) giving you supernatural insight through the presence of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)
The Bible tells Christ-followers to share revelation with one another when they meet for worship. (1 Corinthians 14:26) Five of the nine gifts of the Spirit described in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 are direct revelation from God—word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy, discerning of spirits, and interpretation of tongues.
Open your heart to personal revelation from the living God. Refuse to settle for religious information about Him.
To experience revelation, do something Spirit-led. Ask God what He wants you to do. Notice what comes to your mind. If it aligns with the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control), do it. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Mental hygiene will brighten your smile. Truth decay will take it away. Let God’s truth and revelation purify your mind and heart day and night. (Matthew 5:8) Innocent childlikeness opens the human heart to divine revelation. Google: The Joy of Early Christianity.
