1 Samuel 3:1-10 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation (there was no open vision). When there is an absence of revelation or open vision, the ability to effectively discern divine truth is absent. In this new season that God has planted you in, will require access to divine truths. Impartation of divine truths isn’t produced by a person’s intellectual capacity or academia upbringing. Being smart doesn’t give you access to revelation.
