110 Bible Verses about The Revelation That Comes From God
Revelation comes from the Greek word Apocalypse, meaning "to unveil" or "to uncover." Think about it, we could never know God on our own. Isn't it amazing that He's always wanted to reveal Himself to us? Jesus Himself said, "You did not choose me, but I chose you" (John 15:16). He chose to pull back the curtain so we could truly see Him.
The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, prayed for something I think we all need. He wrote, "I never stop giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.

There's no limit to how much God wants to reveal Himself to you. Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is God's desire for you too. He longs for you to know Him deeply. It's through the Spirit of revelation that you can clearly see God's glory and discover amazing things you never knew before.
Because of Jesus' sacrifice, you have access to the very heart of God. You can have His mind and think like Him. So, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate your understanding and to unveil Jesus to your family and friends. Pray for revelation in your own life, so you can walk in Jesus' will, with wisdom and understanding.
