Revelation precedes revolution

Revelation precedes revolution. I have some thoughts on this, but I would like to get some feedback; what do you think of this comment? What does it mean or speak to you? Where have you experienced it? Being part of the local church’s resurgence is very heavy on my heart, and I believe that revolution doesn’t just happen. A Godly revolution of love, grace and truth doesn’t happen without someone or a community getting a hold of a divine revelation. So, what is your take on “revelation precedes revolution”?

    First, I agree. Revelation precedes revolution. How to foster or encourage revelation is a whole new question. It will never matter how many times you tell me something that in my brain I know to be true. I have to experience it. I have to have that moment of true revelation. The moment where the truth that has been spoken in my life makes a connection with my heart, my faith. But… you are a great leader and speaker so I am sure that there is some enlightenment to follow soon :)

    agreed with anonymous above… you must foster an environment in your life of having that revelation… God will not reveal things that people are not ready to hear and understand… We must have that ongoing relationship.

    I wonder if some of the most incredible revelations don’t occur in the whisper of God… rather than lightning and thunder.
