DAY TWO — RECEIVE THE REVELATION
Before we can interpret what God is saying, we must first learn to recognise what He has actually revealed.
“Speak, for Your servant hears.”
— 1 Samuel 3:10
Samuel heard God's voice before he understood what was happening.
He had to learn.
So do we.
God may speak through Scripture.
An impression.
A picture.
A dream.
A burden.
A word.
A repeated thought.
Sometimes something simply becomes unusually alive within us as we pray.
But here is an important lesson:
Revelation and interpretation are not the same thing.
If I see a picture of a closed door, the revelation is simply:
I saw a closed door.
The moment I say, “God is closing this ministry,” I have moved from revelation into interpretation.
That distinction matters.
Many prophetic mistakes happen because we add our interpretation to what we received and then present the whole thing as though God said it.
So when God shows you something:
Don't embellish it.
Don't explain it too quickly.
Don't make it say more than you actually received.
First, receive.
Then wait.
THE PROPHETIC PROCESS
REVELATION → INTERPRETATION → APPLICATION
What did God reveal?
What does it mean?
What are we meant to do with it?
We will walk through that process during the coming days.
TODAY
Take twenty quiet minutes.
Open your Bible and ask:
“Holy Spirit, what are You drawing my attention to?”
If something comes, write down exactly what you received.
Not what you think it means.
Just the revelation.
Learn to separate what God showed you from what you think God meant by it.
