Summary:
We have to have a revelation to really know the Lord. If you are depending on somebody else’s revelation, then you are not depending on your personal relationship to the Lord. In this new day it is so important to reach into a level of revelation—of “knowing.” “Knowing” is different than “knowing about.”
Show Notes:
- When you receive something from the Lord, when there’s a revelation, you enter into a deeper relationship with Him. Your life will change, and it will express this new revelation, this new depth.
- The pure evangelism is not what we say, but what we are and what exudes from our life. People see God in you, you changed, you were transformed.
- When you enter that realm, the Lord begins to reveal to you different things that you did not know or you were not aware of.
- Today the door is open for you to walk in this new realm of revelation.
- As we become more and more spiritual people, we’re going to communicate and relate by revelation.
Quotes:
- If you say, “I think I know the Lord”, seek Him with all your heart to know Him.
- He’s sharing Himself with you. You are His son.
- We change; we move into authority; we move into responsibility (correctly), if we move in by revelation. If not, we’re moving by the flesh.
- Somehow we think this is way too mystical for us. We’re talking about the spiritual realm that you can’t see, you can’t feel, you can’t hear. This is a new day.
- As a body reaches in, we say, “I never saw things I’m seeing. I never understood the things I’m understanding, Don’t make it difficult, because the door is open.
References:
“For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.”
“that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
“things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
“Behold I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”
Takeaway:
In this new day, the door is open to know the Lord on a deeper level. As His sons, we can reach in for a revelation of things we have not seen or heard. This will enrich your personal relationship with the Lord until your relating and communicating with others will reveal a deep sense of knowing who He is.

We have to have a revelation to really know the Lord. And then we have to have a revelation of the things that He's showing us. It can't just be by somebody else's revelation. Because if you're depending on somebody else, then you're not depending on your personal relationship to the Lord. And that's where it has to be.
We are definitely in a new day, and that new day is all centered around a spiritual reality of who God is and where He lives. If we seek Him with a whole heart, we're going to find Him. That's the truth. And it's so important in this day that we're living in to reach into a level of revelation of knowing.
Knowing is different than knowing about. There are many teachers out there that want to tell you about the Lord, but there are ones who say, know the Lord. That's the way you will get the revelation of who He is, by knowing. And it's something that is so very important where we're at right now. Do you say I know about the Lord, and I think I know the Lord. If there's a question mark in your mind, seek Him with all your heart. He so wants us to know Him, and for His sons to walk with Him. But there is a difference about knowing God and knowing God.
In this thing about revelation, when you receive something from the Lord, when there's a revelation, you enter into a deeper relationship with Him out of that. But my tendency is to go, I want to share it. I want to go out and I just want to share it, cause it's so exciting.
The Lord just met you on a deeper way, a different way, so you want to share it. The Lord's been speaking to me about that. Don't do that because that anointing was for you and you alone. You will share that revelation. It'll exude from your lifestyle. It will exude from your actions. Without a word. your life will change and it'll express this new revelation, this new depth in God, without a word. To me, there's the pure evangelism - is not what we say, but what we are and what exudes from our life. And people see that and they're drawn to that. Not because you told them anything, but because God met you, you changed, you were transformed, you can't help but exude from you.
We have entered into a new day, and it's a day of Spirit. There's a deeper level in knowing the Lord and making Him the Lord over your life. When you enter that realm, the Lord begins to reveal to you different things that you did not know or were not aware of. Now, isn't that what the Scripture says?
“Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.” The Spirit reveals to him, things that are too unknown on a level of humanity, but things of the spirit. You could say isn't that being exclusive? No, it's not.
It's a matter of spiritual revelation. God is revealing something to you. Now, how does that come by confirmation? Others in the spiritual group began to speak and understand the same things the Lord's revealed to you.
Do things happen as we walk in the Lord because the word revelation can make it so big and out there. No, it says we walk along that we get it.
we could be too mystically minded, and we miss the simplicity of revelation. The simplicity of knowing the Lord for one thing. As you reach into the Lord He's revealing, He's giving, He's showing ,He's sharing Himself with you. You're His son. He wants you to have all that He has to give you. So what do we do? Simply open up to the Lord.
We were reading in revelations today, and I thought wow; the lord will open the door that no man can shut, and He'll shut the door that no man can open. We have a door open. I think that has to be a truth that you really hear Today. The door is open for you to walk in this new realm of revelation.
We change, we move into authority, we move into responsibility, correctly, if we move in by revelation.
Because if not, we're moving by the flesh. You can't true, I don't think, you can truly worship the Lord without a revelation of Him. If you try to worship without a revelation, you're trying to worship something you don't even know. But worship, to me should be automatic. When you have a revelation of the Lord, to whatever extent He reveals Himself, you're gonna worship.
It's just, it's an automatic thing out of your being to bow down and worship. But if someone tells me, go worship the Lord, without that, I can attempt it, I can do the mechanics. But am I really worshiping the Lord?
Revelation, you might say, is how you communicate in the spirit realm.
And as we become more and more spiritual people, we're going to communicate and relate by revelation. That to me is exciting because then revelation becomes a consistent part of my communicating and relating.
Somehow we feel like this is way too mystical for us. We're talking about a spiritual realm that you can't see, you can't feel, you can't hear.
This is a new day. It is an absolutely new day. It's a day of spirit. Everything that we've ever learned, everything that God's ever taught us, is still there in us. We are more prepared then we understand. But does that mean we stop here? I think we go on into the depths, into the knowledge, into the revelation that God has prepared for us to walk in. So we don't stop, we keep reaching in.
I believe that this day of Spirit is a day that went, once we as a body reach into it, we're going to go, “Oh my God, I never saw the things I'm seeing. I never understood the things I understand. I never was capable of knowing how to function like I am today.” We're reaching into this together. Don't make it difficult because the door is open.
