On this part of the site, a number of important revelations are shared. Test these revelations. Weigh them to see if they are from God. If you judge them to be of God, begin to align yourself with God’s revealed purposes, and also share them with others.
“Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.” 1 Corinthians 14:29
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
“Do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:20-22
Issues related to sharing revelation are also discussed on later pages: controversies over “words of judgement”, and the confusion that can result from delayed fulfilment. For the Body of Christ to mature, we are going to have to face and resolve some important issues.
Entering the Door, Sharing the Treasure
Prophecy through Adrian Watts, Thursday, 19 January 2006
At times, you struggle to understand revelation because you need more revelation to understand earlier revelation. It unfolds, it unfolds, it unfolds – it is beyond the natural mind to perceive what I choose to reveal. Many listen for a moment in My presence and then rush away to go and tell others what they have heard. This is not the way of fulfilment. The way is to abide, to abide in the vine so that revelation is followed by revelation, and understanding leads to understanding. The deep things of God are not uttered in a moment but unfold and unfold, and build and build, and connect and connect. And some of the deepest things are not revealed until all is connected, because it is not for one man or one woman to know all that can be known. It is not the way of God to reveal to any one person, the future for all, it is mutual dependence, it is mutual dependence. Understand this, that it is a part here and a part there, a revelation here and a revelation there, and it takes the humility to continue to seek God to get the picture. Some of which will come again revelation upon revelation, and other parts only when others join the work bringing their understanding with them.
Understand that this is the way that I have ordained. You cannot grab hold of all that you want to grab hold of. You must wait and abide, and know that I am building, I am building. I am building. If you humble yourself before Me, and if you wait in My presence, and if you seek Me, and return to Me even the precious things I give you, then much more understanding will flow. There will be no limit to what you are able to understand if you are able to receive those who would speak to you in My name in truth, wherever they may come from, whatever they might look like, you will find that there is a building, there is an understanding and a completeness that starts to come in ways that you have not experienced before.
For I know what you need, and what you need is not always what you want. I know what you understand, and I know what you have heard but what you do not yet understand. So in this, I may say the same thing three or four times before you realise that you have heard but not listened, and even perhaps that you listened but did not understand. For comprehension comes and it is like a light opening in a dark place, that which was hidden is now revealed. Sometimes there is a progressive revelation because there must be an unfolding. It takes maturity to abide and maturity to grow in understanding. There are many things that I would tell My children, but there many things that I would tell My young children that My older children have known for a long time. And the young children will come and delight in that and speak what they have found, and it is for the older ones to confirm it, and encourage them and bless them, but also hear in the speaking of that which has been known before, something of an essence which they missed because they heard but did not listen, they did not interpret, they did not apply, they did not walk in all that they thought they had heard.
So the fullness of understanding is not only from what you have received, not only from what you are able to hear from this source and that source, but understanding comes as you walk in faith, as you interpret by the light of the Holy Spirit that which was birthed of the Spirit in the first place. And the fullness of understanding depends on this, that there must be obedience. Obedience is the key that opens that fullness. There can be no fullness if there is no faith in action to the word that is revealed, because the word is for a purpose. The word is not just for the hearing but the word is for action. The word is for change. If there is no change then has the word been heard? There must be change. This is the hour for change. The word will come. As it brings change, so much more can be provided, revelation beyond understanding.
In much of what is done, much of what is called deep or prophetic, is shallowness. People think they are swimming in a river when they have barely wet their feet. And this is not a rebuke but it is a word of understanding that there is so much more to be entered into. There is so much more, and even those who think they know have seen in part. They should not be content or imagine that this level is where they are meant to remain but all must rise up and press on, and encourage those around them to rise up and press on, because the feast of Benjamin has been prepared – a five-fold table. Nothing is lacking but servants are needed that the food might be served in due season. Will you be a servant of the Lord to serve the riches of His table in due season?
