ENVISION us to a place of revelation, can only be provided by the Holy Spirit.
STAGE 1: REVELATION In every aspect of life (school/work, family, ministry) we need revelation for without it, we will not know what to do. That is why the first stage of the prophetic process is that we receive a revelation from God, a download from heaven. It is His way of helping us make sense of what’s happening and where things will go. Revelation is a reflection of heaven for it is God’s voice. That’s why Jesus taught his disciples to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Whatever that’s happening on earth echoes what has already been decreed in heaven. When we strive, it is because we operate without the revelation of God. In order to thrive, we must receive revelation by coming before God with the right position, proximity, and posture.
• Position is about operating in our God-given identity. John 1:12 tells us that, “to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” To be a child of God is to recognize that we have been bestowed a level of privilege that no other relationship can give us: direct access to our Heavenly Father and a claim to His promises, provision, and power.
