Here is the revelation shaping my life today – you do not make God’s kingdom come, you see that it is coming in you and die to everything that stands in its way.

Luke 17:20-21 TPT
[20] Jesus was once asked by the Jewish religious leaders, “When will God’s kingdom realm come?” Jesus responded, “God’s kingdom realm does not come simply by obeying principles or by waiting for signs. [21] The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – self screams “Serve me,” but it’s a small self me, there is so much more to life, to the true me than self-promotion and self above all else.

James 3:16 TPT
[16] So wherever jealousy and selfishness are uncovered, you will also find many troubles and every kind of meanness.

Here is the revelation that is having my life today – we play games with God to impress others and we miss the beauty of his knowing us.

Luke 16:15 TPT
[15] So Jesus addressed them directly. “You always want to look spiritual in the eyes of others, but you have forgotten the eyes of God, which see what is inside you. The very things that you approve of and applaud are the things God despises.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – being loved flows to being love, and the evidence of your faith most naturally is present from your faith. No evidence means no faith, it’s not that evidence gets you anywhere it proves where you have been.

James 2:8,14-17 TPT
[8] Your calling is to fulfil the royal law of love as given to us in this Scripture: “You must love and value your neighbour as you love and value yourself!” 14] My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone? [15] For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothed and hungry [16] and you leave them saying, “Good-bye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith? [17] So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – we try and manipulate God to give us less based on what we perceive we deserve when she extravagantly gives us everything regardless of our deservedness.

Luke 15:21 TPT
[21] “Then the son said, ‘Father, I was wrong. I have sinned against you. I could never deserve to be called your son. Just let me be-‘ “The father interrupted and said, ‘Son, you’re home now!’

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I create a me that is not my true self. I then see me in Him, the divine me, the me I always have been but lost in the journey. It’s in my encounter with Him that I discover myself and then become me. I live my revelation.

James 1:23-24 TPT
[23] If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning. [24] You perceive how God sees you in the mirror of the Word, but then you go out and forget your divine origin.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – we like law, it is clear and empowering, and it gives me security. But Jesus dismisses the law in favour of love.

Luke 14:3 TPT
[3] Jesus asked the experts of the law and the Pharisees who were present, “Is it permitted within the law to heal a man on the Sabbath day? Is it right or wrong?”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – my personal revelation of love is the corrective discipline of God.

Hebrews 12:7,10 TPT
[7] Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? [10] Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share his holiness.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – self can take over my life and kill real living.

Hebrews 13:1-3 TPT
[1] No matter what, make room in your heart to love every believer. [2] And show hospitality to strangers, for they may be angels from God showing up as your guests. [3] Identify with those who are in prison as though you were there suffering with them, and those who are mistreated as if you could feel their pain.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – you will never see and know God through the intellectual evidential search, you must arrive at a point of faith for evidence will never see him.
Hebrews 11:1,13,14-16,33
Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.
Hebrews 11:13
These heroes all died still clinging to their faith, not even receiving all that had been promised them. But they saw beyond the horizon the fulfilment of their promises and gladly embraced it from afar. They all lived their lives on earth as those who belonged to another realm.
Hebrews 11:14-16
[14] For clearly, those who live this way are longing for the appearing of a heavenly city. [15] And if their hearts were still remembering what they left behind, they would have found an opportunity to go back. [16] But they couldn’t turn back for their hearts were fixed on what was far greater, that is, the heavenly realm! So because of this God is not ashamed in any way to be called their God, for he has prepared a heavenly city for them.
Hebrews 11:33
Their faith fastened onto their promises and pulled them into the reality.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – it’s personal. Love makes it personal.

Luke 13:23 TPT
[23] A bystander asked him, “Lord, will only a few have eternal life?”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I am home free, no more sacrifices required of me, only the faithfulness to come and be loved.

Hebrews 10:1 TPT
[1] The old system of living under the law presented us with only a faint shadow, a crude outline of the reality of the wonderful blessings to come. …9] And then he said, “God, I will be the one to go and do your will.” So by being the sacrifice that removes sin, he abolishes animal sacrifices and replaces that entire system with the new covenant…..14] And by his one perfect sacrifice he made us perfectly holy and complete for all time!….18] So if our sins have been forgiven and forgotten, why would we ever need to offer another sacrifice for sin?…..20) For he has dedicated a new, life-giving way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to him!…..22] We come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced by faith that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity and we have been freed from an accusing conscience and now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the value, the worth, of a thing, especially when that thing is me, is so important. We discard things of little worth and prize things of great value. So what is my value?

Luke 12:6-7 TPT
[6-7] “What is the value of your soul to God? Could your worth be defined by an amount of money? God doesn’t abandon or forget even the small sparrow he has made. How then could he forget or abandon you? What about the seemingly minor issues of your life? Do they matter to God? Of course they do! So you never need to worry, for you are more valuable to God than anything else in this world.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today -Does modern man still live in the dark ages? A new age has dawned, it’s the age where sin has been abolished, am I living here?

Hebrews 9:26,28 TPT
….But now he has appeared at the fulfilment of the ages to abolish sin once and for all by the sacrifice of himself! ……28] But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many! And now to those who eagerly await him, he will appear a second time; not to deal with sin, but to bring us the fullness of salvation.
