Where there is no vision, the people perish… Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) REVELATION Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint… Proverbs 29:18 (NIV) We don't need any more INFORMATION; we need more REVELATION. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (NLT) But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (NLT) No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (NLT) And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (NLT) 4 Revelations we need to have: A Revelation of KNOWING GOD I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17-18 (NIV) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people… Ephesians 1:17-18 (NIV) 21-Days of Prayer and Fasting If you want God to reveal Himself to YOU, you have to make yourself available to HIM. A Revelation of FINDING FREEDOM For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT) 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT) Once we get a revelation of who God is… we get a revelation of the TRUE FREEDOM He has for us. "This is Freedom"  A Revelation of DISCOVERING PURPOSE Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 (NIV) The effectiveness of the Church reaching lost people, is contingent on each person in the Church discovering their PURPOSE and doing their PART.  A Revelation of the DIFFERENCE YOU ARE CALLED TO MAKE. For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13 (NLT) Don't rob the world AROUND YOU of the gift INSIDE YOU… that God wants to use to make a difference THROUGH YOU. "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. Luke 10:2 (NLT) Jesus didn't die to give us a new RELIGION to follow, but a new LIFE to experience.
