God's Move: Understanding the Difference Between Presence and Revelation

Core Message

God's presence in a place where He once moved is not the same as His revelation of where He is moving next, and believers who confuse lingering presence with current divine activity will be left behind, demonizing God's new thing instead of recognizing and following it.

Key Scripture

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. — Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

1. The presence of God in a place does not confirm that God's revelation is still there, because many believers remain devoted to an old form of encounter while God has already moved on to a new expression of Himself.
2. The Holy Spirit reveals the Son, and the Son reveals the Father — this chain of revelation governs all of God's activity, and understanding it is essential to recognizing what God is doing in any generation.
3. When God does a new thing, those whose perception of Him is anchored to the old move will demonize what they cannot comprehend, not out of malice but out of sincere devotion to an encounter that was real but is no longer where God's revelation is presently located.

Prayer Focus

Pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal to you where God is currently moving in your life so that you do not remain anchored to a past encounter while missing His present activity and protection.
