REVELATION
Gal 2:1-2
2:1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. 2 I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles.
NIV
How can I ever image sharing anything with anyone about my Lord Jesus Christ without a revelation from God? It would seem easy enough to have an intelligent conversation about religious concepts and even about the bible and it’s relevancy in a person’s life without having any revelation at all. Bible knowledge can be learned as evident in so many people who are employed by churches in some pastoral capacity, yet they have no revelation from God. There are so many Bible schools dedicated to selling degrees in pastoral ministries, some spend many dollars advertizing on the internet, facebook and such hoping to lure someone into spending enough in order to obtain some sort of degree which shows their ability to be employed in some ministry, yet without a revelation their works are useless. Surely there are many people who do obtain these degrees and do have a revelation as well, but I believe so many simply apply human efforts in Godly matters. I do not need any of these symbols and acknowledgments of men; I only need a revelation from God. It I have no revelation, I have nothing. Knowledge is good, but wisdom derived from a revelation is best. I dare not speak unless I know I have the Spirit working through a revelation in me. I must always be in such a spiritual condition I hear him speaking to my heart, my mind, my spirit. If I get distracted by my humanity, I miss out on so much. I have absolutely no talent, no abilities within my own human condition. I could not do much of anything within my own self. I am so dependent on being the recipient of his revelation. The revelation of Jesus Christ, the good news, the gospel as according to God.
