The term “revelation” is being used more and more in the church today.  In some circles, it is considered the ultimate goal of studying the Bible.  Others may think it is unnecessary for a walk with God and that it is a distraction from the real issues in the church.  So I ask, what is “revelation?”  Can we do without it?  Can we progress in our relationship with God without revelation?  To answer this question, we have to look at the original language of God.  When I started looking at the word “revelation” in ancient Hebrew, I was provided the letters Ayin (Eye/Experience), Lamed (Shephard’s Staff [Christ], and Hey (Man).  This is using Strong’s H1541.  This word in Hebrew is to reveal or uncover.  If we are to look at each pictograph and combine them for their meaning, we are provided with “Seeing and experiencing Christ (Represented by the Shephard’s Staff) manifesting in your life (man).  To answer the question, "What is a revelation," I am required to respond with: "A Revelation is when a person is seeing, experiencing, and manifesting Yahshua in their personal life."  So the question presents itself.  Can you continue in God without receiving Christ and having him made manifest in your life?  Revelation with God is result-driven and purpose-driven.  Remember that all of creation is waiting for the manifestation of Jesus in Man.  In other words, the Father is expecting all to see, receive, and experience the saving power of Yahshua in their life and manifest that power.  With every conversation I have with the Father, it always comes back to the notion of “Christ in me, the Father's Glory!”  Some revelation is personal and some revelation is public.  Regardless, we all must begin to walk in our calling, purpose, and plan that the Father has predestined in Christ Jesus.
