Blessed art thou…for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. – Matthew 16:17
Remember when you went to school and learned your ABCs? You learned
them by using your five senses and your logical abilities to gather
information and sort it out. That kind of knowledge is called natural
knowledge and it’s the only kind most people know anything about.
But in the kingdom of God, there’s another kind of knowing. One that
works its way from the inside out instead of from the outside in. It’s
called revelation knowledge.
Jesus spoke about this kind of knowledge in Matthew 16. He’d just
asked the disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Peter had answered Him by
declaring, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
“Blessed are you, Simon,” Jesus responded, “because flesh and blood
has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven.”
In other words, Jesus was saying, “Peter, you didn’t learn this
information through your physical senses. You received it another way.
You received it directly from God.”
If you’ve ever had a revelation like that, you know that when it
comes, it changes things. It makes you see old things in an entirely new
light. It gives you such unshakable confidence that, as Jesus said to
Peter, “The gates of hell can’t prevail against you.”
But revelations like that don’t come easily. You have to meditate the
Word and search the Spirit of God for them because they are “hidden” in
Him. The Bible says God has hidden His wisdom for the saints (1 Cor.
2:7-9). Notice, He’s hidden it for you, not from you. He wants you to
have it.
Don’t think, however, that God is just going to drop great
revelations into your lap while you’re watching television. You have to
seek Him.
If you’re hungry for revelation knowledge, get yourself in a position
to receive it by meditating the Word, praying and fellowshiping with
the Lord. Begin to receive those revelations from Him. It’s the most
exciting kind of learning there is.
