For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest…
Luke 8:17 ESV
Revelation… the revealing of things unseen…
God’s been revealing… pointing out some not quite right things in the lives of others…
The question now is… What does He want me to do with them…?
Every revealing has its purpose… but it is not always for us to point it out to others…
I listen for Him… as I watch… hear… see… all He reveals…
And I wait…
I feel no pressing to confront…
(well perhaps my flesh would like too…)
But mostly what I sense Him calling me to do… the reason He showed me what I’ve seen… discerned… is to INTERCEDE…
Pray for the soul… the heart… of the one He’s revealed… to be open… sensitive… to the Holy Spirit…
That they may see… what He sees in them… and rather than continuing to hide… reveal themselves… confessing where necessary… followed up with repentance…
For I do dread… what happens when God reveals… what WILL come out by another means…
Mercy… compassion… compels me to pray… intercede… in light of the revelation…
Trusting God to bring it into the open… in His way… for His purpose…
Sometimes… His revelation… is a call to pray…
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died — more than that, who was raised — who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Romans 8:34 ESV
Has He shown you something…? revealed an issue in the life of another…?
Ask Him what to do with it… perhaps it is a call to pray mercy into their life…
Amen…
