LET THERE BE REVELATION

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 NLT

The preceeding verse in Matthew says we don't light a lamp and hide it do we? I know for sure I do not and have never done it because it really cannot be hidden in dark. In school I always felt like I was the odd one, I didn't quite fit in anywhere but I hung out with all the social groups. I didn't know how to explain it or really even paid attention to it until I made certain changes and looked back. I would party and be out with friends but there was some things that were still different for example I can have a tv on but not really watch it but one of my closest friends would watch VH1 or Love and Hip-Hop or Basketball Wives I really wanted to like it like she did so we can have something to talk about. she always seemed to have so much jokes from it but I couldn't stomach watching it. I always remember feeling so annoyed and opposed even just hearing the things being said. When I took network television from my diet (yes my diet because it was consumed and processed) certain thoughts no longer occured or feelings like me getting overly angry or frustrated. At the time I didn't know exactly why I did it but I just had a strong urgency to do so (now I understand that it was the Holy Spirit) this is the way revelation can come. And this within itself was revelaation, I was not one to seek prophecy or 'a word' but we are first prophets over our own lives. I knew what was being taught is not and was not my portion (whatever you are we consume is what we should expect-my belief). Well the word says what we sow we reap, what give you get this is kinda fair when we look at it this way. We sow into our lives let's say love and hip-hop and question why our marriages fail. There is an example that really strikes home for me because this is actually what I was dealing with more recently. I had a love for Lifetime/LMN but I also had a dislike and did not trust relationships beyond a few marriages that didn't work for the 'lifetime-love and hip-hop' reason; I could now see the many marriages that actually work. I am now understanding that although there are some marital mistakes there are many marriages that are working and those same people with the failed marriage somehow have the strength to go into another relationship/marriage. Meanwhile, I am creating problems in my relationship by being elusive and evasive (not being able to trust) but seeing only as it being someone else's issue and not seeing my own. Gaining revelation and more understanding of why I was making mistakes and now even seeing the mistakes has helped so much.

John 16:5-15 points out the many ways the Holy Spirit came to us to guide, help and instruct us. I got revelation through taking time during the day to study not just read but partnering with the Holy Spirit to read a scripture and get answers. Have you tried this? Does it work for you?
