the revelation mean?” The interpretation can come in increments, over a period of time. The third part is the application. It can be immediate or it can be long term. In regard to dreams or visions, God might use dark sayings or He may show us plainly face to face. In Numbers 12:6-8 God said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. 7 Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. 8 I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?" There are a diversity of ways that God speaks. He spoke to Moses face to face. Although we see through a glass darkly (I Corinthians 13:12) if we will submit ourselves to those dreams and visions and dark sayings, if we will pursue God, He will reveal their meaning to us. He wants us to come to Him for the interpretation. He wants us to come to Him for the information. He wants us to come to Him for the application. He wants us to be dependent upon Him. A word of knowledge or a prophecy can change a life. None of us will ever prophesy all things or have all knowledge. It will not happen. We know in part and we prophesy in part. (1 Corinthians 13:9). We are a body. He will give a part to one of us, and then He will give a part to another one. He wants us depending upon Him. As we train ourselves to come back to Him, we will begin to see God more and more face to face. Clearly God can communicate with His people, He communicates in an individual way, to each of us personally. He speaks to you in a language that you understand. One that touches your heart. In Isaiah 30:21 it says, "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.'" Mostly He directs us by His peaceful voice that says, "This is the way." In Jeremiah 32:6 Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying ..." , (it told him what to do and he carried it out). Then in verse 8 it says, "and then I knew that this was the Word of the Lord." Jeremiah received the word and was obedient to carry it out and believe it, but only after he obeyed did he know it was the Lord. If Jeremiah sometimes was not clear until after he had obeyed, what about us? God spoke to Moses and said for him to go down to Egypt and tell Pharaoh to “let My people go” and that he would do many miracles. Moses asked for a sign to know if these things were true. God said after you go down there and all these miracles happen, Pharaoh will resist you but he will eventually let the people go and you are going to bring them back here 72
