Revelation
In the beginning; God spoke.
It all began – and will end – with God’s word.
It all began – and will end – in the garden.
God’s word does so much!
Literally everything that exists does so because God spoke!
God knows everything; He is all-knowing.
Therefore, God’s word brings forth revelation from His knowledge.
Consider just some of the simple discoveries that have radically transformed the world as we know it.
The flowing of electrons from one atom to the next; electricity.
Splitting uranium atoms produces large amounts of energy and can be done in a controlled fashion.
Just last month, this nuclear fusion process was proven to be able to produce truly limitless energy.
Splitting the nucleus of an enriched uranium or plutonium atom produces tremendous amounts of energy used in nuclear weapons such as the atomic bomb.
Revelation can result in radical transformation. It can instantly change the trajectory of our life, of our community, of our nation, of the world. Think about the communities around us that were built and thrived for so long just because of the revelation that there was coal in the ground beneath our feet and how to mine it.
Revelation is more than just knowledge; it is more experiential.
There is a vast difference between knowing that God loves me and having the love of God revealed to me.
There is a vast difference between knowing that the same Spirit that rose Jesus from the grave lives in me and having that same Spirit revealed to me.
There is a vast difference between knowing that I am a child of God and my Heavenly Father revealing Himself to me.
In fact, one of the definitions of the Greek word for revelation, apokalypsis (ap-ok-al’-oop-sis), is manifestation or appearing. It’s literally an uncovering or an unveiling. It’s goes beyond just knowledge to experience.
It’s like the difference between knowing that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and standing at the Smithsonian in front of the real, actual command module that took them to the moon and then being Neil Armstrong back in 1969 and walking on the moon.
There are different degrees, or depths, of revelation of the same knowledge. There are secret, hidden things even in the things that were previously revealed to us.
Prayerfully, all of us here have had revealed to us the fact that Jesus died for our sins and that through our simple faith, we can be saved. However, we could spend a lifetime exploring that same salvation and all that it offers us and still only scratch the surface!
We know so much from God’s word about God and His kingdom and our role within it at a surfacy, head-knowledge level. I believe that this year is going to be a year of revelation.
Be ready to write down those dreams and visions; those gut feelings and words of knowledge and wisdom and prophesies and things that just keep catching your attention and any other limitless ways that God can speak to us!
We can be told something and then forget it. Knowledge is fleeting and useless if not transformed into wisdom and applied in life. It’s like the difference between learning trigonometric theorems and learning what to do at a stop sign. One was learned and forgotten, the other was learned and lived.
Once something is revealed to us, it is ours forever! We can forget the things that we have taught, but the things that are revealed to us change us and become a part of us. Things that are revealed to us become a legacy that we impart to others.
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever…
We can know that the joy of the Lord is our strength. However, we’ve all been around grouchy people who can quote it from knowledge and readily see the difference between them and someone who has had this truth revealed to them who are actually joyful in all life circumstances.
