Read LUKE 2:25-35
Simeon didn’t receive this knowledge through the normal method of learning. This knowledge was revealed to him directly from the Holy Spirit. This revealed knowledge, which comes only from God, is distinctly different than knowledge acquired through study. Man’s knowledge is based on observation. It cannot give perfect instruction about the future. God’s knowledge can. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we can know things to come (Jn. 16:13).
When dealing with God, Revelation Knowledge is essential. The Lord’s ways are not always our ways (Isa. 55:8-9). A fear of trusting the intuitive knowledge God gives us will cause us to miss out on many of God’s blessings.
If Simeon hadn’t received and acted on the revelation knowledge God gave him, he would have missed out on an amazing blessing! He would not have been led into the temple at exactly the right moment to see the salvation of the Lord.
The more revelation knowledge you receive and act on, the more God will give you.
We need to ask for and expect to receive revelation knowledge from the Lord constantly, especially from His written Word. God desires to impart this knowledge more than we desire to receive it. Great blessings await those who will not depend solely on their own understanding (Prov. 3:5).
