Growing in the Prophetic I

Text: Revelation 19:10
More lessons: 2 Cor. 12:1-2
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 61-63

Today's text is extracted from the most mystical book in the entire Bible - the book of Revelation. It is a highly eschatological piece of divine literature that delivers its truths in signs, symbols, figures, and types. It was penned by John, the apostle who laid on Jesus' bosom at meals and was known by the twelve as the disciple Jesus loved. The book came after awesome encounters and 3rd heaven visitation on the island of Patmos where he was abandoned to die after attempts to kill him in boiling oil failed times and times again.
The thoughts that flow through most minds when it comes to the content of this book are those of fear and terror, scary creatures and bloody scenes. However, one truth about this prophetic book that everyone who wants to experience growth in the prophetic things of God must understand is that it is first and solely a revelation of Jesus Christ. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Revelation 1:1. If we must find increase in the prophetic, we must yearn for revelations of Jesus Christ. There are certain depths and heights in the Spirit of God that cannot be taught, they can only be caught. The scriptures declare that Paul was caught up into vision of the Lord, I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know — God knows: 2 Cor. 12:2.
We need to be caught up because the things we are being prepared to see and experience cannot be learned or researched. We must be brought into contact with the Spirit of revelation so that the things of God can be perceived and grasped by us. We are not mere mortals, we are spirit beings in mortal bodies and until we desire to be caught up into the spirit where we really belong we cannot see and participate in the prophetic manifestations of the Kingdom of God.
