I remembered Matthew 18:20, “Where two or [more] are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
'And why do you think I’m in the midst?' Jesus asked me. 'It’s to carry out the agreement.'
That revelation burned away the turmoil I’d been wrestling with. As far as I was concerned, the thing was done. It was settled in my spirit.
Meditation Leads to Revelation
Now that revelation didn’t come to me instantly or easily. I had to meditate The WORD and search the Spirit of God for it because it was “hidden” in Him.
You see, God has purposely arranged it so truths like that can only be understood by revelation. He hasn’t just left them in the sense realm where anyone can pick up a book and discover them. After all, the devil can read; and God doesn’t want him taking that information and using it to destroy you.
God doesn’t cast His pearls before swine. Instead, the Bible says He’s hidden that wisdom for you, not from you. That’s why Jesus said that nothing is hidden but that it shall be revealed.
Don’t think, however, God is just going to drop great revelations in your lap while you’re watching TV. Jesus said, “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear” (Mark 4:23). God has given you inner ears to hear His Spirit with. But you’re responsible for the hearing. You’re responsible for seeking out this revelation knowledge.
God isn’t doling out revelations one at a time. Instead, He sent the Holy Ghost, and He has all the revelations in Him. When we get ourselves in a position to receive by meditating The WORD, praying and fellowshiping with The LORD, we begin to receive those revelations from Him. So it’s on our end that the responsibility lies now.
Peter tells us that grace and peace are multiplied to us through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our LORD (2 Peter 1:2). That Greek word knowledge doesn’t mean something you learn through your senses. It means “exact knowledge, revealed in such a way that it’s not hindered by the physical senses or by someone’s ability to communicate.”
Notice too that Peter says, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus.” Did you realize you need more than a revelation of Jesus?
You need a revelation of God the Father. You need to know the Almighty One is your very own Father. You need more than a mental understanding of it. You need to know it on the inside—and that kind of knowing comes only by revelation.
