Become the Revelation: Incarnate God’s Word

As a prophet and a teacher, I talk a lot about the subject of revelation. But in the pursuit of revelation, it is often easy to miss its purpose. The heart of God is that we become the revelation, and incarnate God’s word—in other words, for us to look like, sound like, and act like Jesus! One of the people I have the honor of working with is Jeffrey Thompson, who serves as a project director for God Encounters Ministries. Here he describes a revelatory experience he had with the Lord that expresses this theme well: “One day not [...]

3 Vital Aspects of Testing the Spirits

By |2019-02-14T14:18:42-06:00February 14th, 2019|Recent Articles|0 Comments

Or I might get a revelation and its interpretation right, only to get stuck on the application (what I am supposed to do with that information). For example, let’s say I get a revelation about a political situation, but it happens to touch on a sensitive area in my own experience. If I have hung on to bitterness, for [...]
