“There’s a private place reserved for the devoted lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises."

-Psalm 25:14

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless he reveals his secrets to his servants the prophets."

-Amos 3:7

“The one who faithfully manages the little he has been given will be promoted and trusted with greater responsibilities. But those who cheat with the little they have been given will not be considered trustworthy to receive more."

-Luke 16:10

The Lord has been pressing on my heart His longing to see faithfulness with the seemingly little.

Recently, as I was falling asleep one night, I heard so loudly in the Spirit the word “juggernaut.” I had never heard this word before, honestly, I wasn’t even sure it was an actual word. I had to ask my husband.

Juggernaut: A huge, powerful, and overwhelming force or institution.

Any large, overpowering, destructive force or object

(Google)

I didn’t press into the Lord after I heard this word; sadly, I just went to sleep.

A few days later, I was scrolling on social media and a well-known prophet had released a word about juggernauts! I was stunned. This isn’t a word you hear all that often. I was immediately convicted, and the Lord began speaking to my spirit.

He longs to reveal His secrets to the prophets, but the prophets must be faithful to steward the words He gives, even if we don’t understand it completely!

We must be faithful to press into the seemingly little word we hear in the Spirit because as we pursue Him in it, He will reveal even more. Even if the Lord was just asking me to proclaim the word “juggernaut," without any revelation of more, it would have resonated with the person who was supposed to hear it.

I feel His heart swelling with secrets He longs to release, but we have to be hungry for them! We have to be faithful to open our mouths with little, so He can fill them with much!

I have held back so many times because of fear of sounding vague or ambiguous in prophecy, but even the simplest word from the Lord is able to accomplish that which it is sent forth to do! I’m sure I’m not the only one who has refrained from opening my mouth for Him or failed to seek Him for deeper revelation.

My heart lamented to know that I had missed something beautiful He was longing to share with me, yet I was thankful that someone else had been faithful to press in to hear His revelation secrets to share with His Bride!

Even though I had missed it personally, He will speak to those who WILL press in and listen to release His heart to His people.

This was a beautiful lesson for me in that IT’S NOT ABOUT ME! IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU either!

It’s about surrendering and yielding to His Spirit so His purposes can be accomplished in the earth.

We have to stop worrying about messing up, or missing it, or sounding vague or dumb!

The world NEEDS to hear the Father’s heart! The Bride and the world need us to be faithful with little so there can be much!

While not every believer is called to be a prophet, every believer IS called to prophesy. YOU can hear the Lord! Ask Him what He wants to show you as you sit with Him in the secret place, and then be faithful with whatever He gives you be it one word or a book!
