We are living in age when natural knowledge has increase exponentially, science is making new discoveries, and in innovative technologies are being developed; when cures for man illness have been found and new ideas and creations in many areas of human endeavor are springing up.

At this time, God is also sealing areas of his knowledge. He has never wanted to be mystery to his people, and, through the ages, he has manifested his nature and power in various ways. In this new stage of his plan for humanity, he has begun to reveal his glory to the present generation, igniting his final move on the planet to bring multitudes to faith in Him. The apostles and prophets of the Bible spoke of this generation.
For example
Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you (1Peter 1:10)
To understand what revelation is, we first need to distinguish between two types of knowledge
- Knowledge that comes through our physical
- Knowledge that is revealed
The first kind of knowledge is scientific, theoretic and practical knowledge that comes through the sense- sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. It is information or storable data acquired and implemented in natural world.
But the true reality is that one cannot know God through sensorial information alone- though such information is vital for dwelling in the natural dimension of earth. God created the earthly dimension and manifests himself in it, although he does not belong to it. He is beyond it.
The second type of knowledge is that which is revealed by God

Now to him who is able to establish you. According to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest (Romans 16:25-26)
Revealed knowledge comes directly or indirectly from God’s Holy Spirit to the spirit of a person, not to the person mind or senses
For example Matthew 16:15-17) it does not require time to learn, because it is given instantly; it manifest in a blink of an eye. It cannot be researched in a book or in any other source of information.
It is something read between the lines
Revelation is a fragment of divine knowledge that was not previously known by the person receiving it. For a example a word of knowledge (1 Corinthians 12:8) is a small portion of the total knowledge of God given by the Holy Spirit in an instant.
A lack of revealed knowledge is a characteristics of spiritual death because we do not live according to spiritual reality. Anytime we try to trust in natural knowedge to operate in the supernatural. We are essentially eating of the tree of the knowlegede of good and evil.
Natural knowledge offers information about facts or data but it does not have the ability to effect lasting transformation because it comes from the fallen mind of man, not from the mind of God. Revealed knowledge supersedes every rational analysis and carries with it the intrinsic power to transform
Today more than ever, we need breakthroughs in all areas of our lives: personal, family, social, professional and ministry. Many believers are at standstill; they are not advancing or growing, not possessing the blessings, and not taking over new territories that God has given us. We must say,
‘Enough! And begin to ask for a divine rhema to pull is out to our ruts and thrust is far beyond our limitations, studying, mediating and seeking God’s in-depth revelation on every step in life
