The world has access to every bit of information they could ever dream of. Yet it’s a realm of the tangible. It represents the information we acquire through our physical senses,study, experience, and reason. It is built on evidence, patterns, and facts that can be tested, measure, and shared.
Revelation knowledge is different. It refers to truths or insights that are believed to come from outside the realm of human intellect, through spiritual or divine intuition.
Many people believe the Word of God with their minds, but they haven’t meditated on it enough for it to light up their hearts. If they had, the Word of God would absolutely revolutionized their lives. Nothing would be able to shake them loose from it.
In God’s kingdom, there is a knowing that comes from the inside out, rather than outside in.
In verse Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, “I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Sheol will not prevail against it.”
What rock was Jesus referring to? Was it Peter? I think Jesus was referring to the rock of revelation that He lived.
Just before Jesus spoke to Peter, He had asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am? Peter answered Him by declaring, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus responded saying, “Blessed are you, Simon… because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”
Peter didn’t learn this information through his physical senses, you received it directly from God.
I believe this is the way we should living our everyday lives. Knowledge that comes directly from God. Anything we can learn in the physical is incomparable to learning it from God. If we did we would see things in a whole new light. It would give us such an unshakable confidence that the “the gates of hell would not prevail” toward us.
But revelation knowledge like this doesn’t come cheap. We have to meditate on the Word and search the Holy Spirit because they are hidden in Him. The Bible says God has hidden His wisdom for the saints. 1 Corinthians 2:7-9 tells us the wisdom of God is a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew.
That being said God won’t just drop great revelations into our lap while we are watching television or scrolling on social media. We need to seek Him.
Revelation knowledge is not just a list of facts or trivia. It has deep power -the power to set us free and elevate us to victories we never imagined possible.
We come across people with a lot of guesses or opinions that change with the wind. Prideful people think they know so much, but humble people hungry for revelation knowledge know they need the Creator and Savior to access truth.
Revelation knowledge is the only way to win the battle for truth. Was Satan ever present spewing lies day and night, in hopes that someone will latch onto them and give them total access to their lives. Jesus said Satan is the father of lies. That’s why we need revelation knowledge.
Spirit, soul, and body in that order. We are a spirit, with a soul, who lives in a physical body. And the body -the flesh is usually the most demanding. Revelation knowledge comes from putting the spirit first, and then the soul and the body last.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 tells us, “May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.”
When we choose to follow Jesus we are born again. It is not our body that is transformed, but our spirit. That’s who we are. Our physical body is just what house is our spirit. God is a spirit being, and we were made in His image. We live in our bodies, but no one can see the real us -our spirit. That’s why they call our bodies “the remains” because that’s all that remains on earth of us when we die. Our spirit either goes to heaven or to hell.
The Bible says the outward man -the flesh is decaying every day, but the spirit is renewing every day (2 Corinthians 4:16).
Roman’s 8:11 says, “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your moral bodies.” If we believe this, we can bring our physical desires and impulses under control of the Holy Spirit.
It is essential to put our spirit ahead of all else to receive revelation knowledge. Hebrews 4:12, tells us the Word of God separates the soul from the spirit. God is a spirit, and that’s why we must worship God in spirit, not just soul or body.
In John 4:24 Jesus tells the Samaritan woman, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Because God is an immaterial Spirit, genuine worship is not restricted to a specific holy mountain or building. Worshiping in spirit means, engaging your heart, engaging the Holy Spirit, guidance, and being sincere, while worshiping in truth means aligning our praise with the reality of who God is..
Most people who believe the Word of God only with their minds haven’t meditated on it enough for it to reach their hearts.
Revelation knowledge is the key to our victory. Whenever Satan comes to attack we need to be able to hit him with revelation knowledge to knock him flat every time.
