Revelation in 2017
Our US military today
depends so much on “intelligence”.
Before they act or move, they must have what they call “actionable
intelligence” – in other words, they need to be able to “see” and “know” before
they act. That’s why billions of
dollars are spent on satellites, drones, and other “intelligence gathering”
devices. We not only want intelligence
officers on the ground, but “eyes in the skies”.
So much this past year
has been said about hacking of intelligence – and we have witnessed a
tremendous amount of what was previously “hidden” information – coming to
light. Most of that was not
flattering. It’s like the “secret”
things were being made known, much to the chagrin of the participants.
As I was praying about
this, I came to one of my favorite verses of Scripture:Jeremiah 33:3 says,
“Call
to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you
do not know.’’
We have
fondly heard this called, “God’s Phone Number” – and usually we use this verse,
when we are praying for God to “show up” and do some mighty miracle in our
lives.
A
closer look at the word in the original used for the English word, “mighty
things” is the word “batsare” which actually means “things not yet revealed, or
that which is inaccessible, hidden or isolated” What God is telling Jeremiah and us today – if we call on
God – HE will reveal the hidden – HE will reveal the previously inaccessible
things of God – In other words, God will reveal what is really going on – so
that we can spiritually have actionable intelligence into the spiritual realm,
so that we can “tear down and build up” what is needed.
Remember,
we often pray and want God to do things, which HE has already done – or has
already given us the power to do.
We just need to know what’s happening and how to respond in the Spirit.
If
we’ve seen anything this year
(2016) we have seen that when God’s people pray, “revelation”
comes. Some say the Russians
“hacked” – or Wikileaks did someone in – was it not God who revealed the hidden
things going on? Hey, the election
may be over – but as we pray, God will continue to keep us “up to the minute”
as to what is happening in the spirit realm. When we know – we can pray more effectively – we can act. I don’t believe God will do for us what
He wants us to do --- the problem in the church is that too many Christians
don’t do – and worse – don’t know what to do. In 2017, ignorance is not acceptable! Call on HIM – and HE will reveal HIS
plan and purposes – then act – do – get involved – fulfill HIS plan over your
life.
I’m praying for Revelation in 2017! What do you think?
