Information -vs- Revelation
“I want you to know brothers and sisters that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man nor was I taught it; rather I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.”
Galatians 1:11-12
So what is the difference between Information as opposed to Revelation?
While Information is almost generally observable or
measured and categorized as a “fact” of
some sort, Revelation can be defined as the unveiling of new information that was previously unknown.
While these sometimes surprising “new facts”
can come through scientific discovery or investigative
reporting, there is actually a third, more significant
type of revelation - Divine Revelation.
This is what the Apostle Paul was referring to in today’s scripture.
Divine Revelation
is God’s supernatural impartation of disclosure for humanity.
It is an uncovering of Divine truth which comes from the Holy Spirit
given to our spirit and our soul (our mind).
It is very important to understand that while anyone can read,
study and gather loads of “facts,”
not everyone can receive Divine Revelation. This only comes when
we fellowship with the Lord in His Word,
pray, praise, listen for His voice, and worship Him;
in other words - spending quality time alone with Him.
When we realize how much He loves us and wants more
than anything that we share a special time of our day
set aside for Him, then we can expect Him to give us HIS divine revelations.
Nothing can compare to the presence of God. Come close to Him
and you will KNOW Him and you can expect Him to reveal more and
more of Himself to you. Why? Because He loves you more than you could ever imagine.
Commit today to seek him diligently, and let Him show you things
that you could only learn by revelation.
