THINK . . . REVELATION AHEAD
How many days do we go through life on automatic pilot?
Work, eat, relate, relax, play, sleep, repeat. Unless we rouse ourselves from such mundane routines, we relegate our lives to a visionless existence.Our walk with God is to be an advance!
Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand). i
The children of Israel knew the acts of God. Moses knew not only His acts, but also His ways. God spoke with him face to face.
God wants FaceTime with you!
He wants you to grow in the knowledge of Him and His ways. It is personal relationship, personal revelation, personal understanding.But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.ii
This kind of revelation comes through the spirit. When you are born of the Spirit, you are equipped to perceive beyond the natural world. You are equipped to see His working, purpose, and path for you! (consider EXPLORING THE UNSEEN )
Exciting, is it not? Do you have a new revelation of Him today? Are you seeking it?
He is a rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him!iii
. . . Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.iv
The definition of the word Selah in the amplified Bible is pause and think of that. It is a reminder to take time to wait on the Lord. Actively pursue and expect revelation.
Think – Revelation Ahead is a modern Selah. Press into what God desires to reveal to you. He is true to His promises. Your part is to ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking.

Thank you for this post! It gives me things to ponder on. Now, my question is: Exactly HOW do we seek God? Is it by prayer only? How do we know our prayer is EFFECTIVE,or should I say, "reaches" God??? Sometimes I feel like I am that clanging cymbal or broken record in my prayers. Help!!

Susan, you pose some very good questions. We indeed seek God through prayer. Prayer, however, is a vast thing. Certainly, prayer involves communion and petition, but there is so much more. Prayer is deeply spiritual. God's desire is to bring us into the spirit in prayer. He wants to bring us 'behind the scenes' as it were, to release His will, and exercise His authority.
Those pursuing God, as you are, are on a journey. It is a journey, if we continue, intended to bring us into deeper relationship and revelation. At this stage of your journey, I recommend reading In Touch with the Throne by T. Austin Sparks. It is a small book, which I believe will help with many of your questions.
Blessings,
Barb
