True Revelation.

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”      
Matthew 16:17(KJV)
 
You cannot know Jesus without a revelation from the Father Himself. This is why when Peter declared in Matthew 16:16, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered in our opening scripture saying, “flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” Thus, revelation is imparted to your spirit by the Father. A true revelation is divine in origin; it is not of human origin. It is not a child of reason.

Revelation bypasses your brain. It is a result of the work of the Holy Spirit upon a man's spirit to shine the light of understanding in him. We have so much knowledge today, so we need revelation in the knowledge of what we know. When we have that insight or revelation into these divine truths, it is then we can fully take advantage of these knowledge.

Jesus can only be known by revelation. This is the reason why even after all the miracles He did before the Jews, the Jewish people of His day could still crucify Him because they did not have a precise revelation of who He was. This was why Jesus said on the cross, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) Therefore, true authentic and divine revelation is the cure of all erroneous misconceptions.

PRAYER
I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full [or, true and accurate] knowledge of Him. In Jesus Name. Amen.
