How To Treat What God Reveals - Friday Praise & Pray (for others) October 31, 2025

What do you do when you're reading the Bible and get a revelation about a verse or section of scripture? What do you do when you have a dream? What do you do when God uses someone to speak an edifying word to you? I hope you write it all down and take the time to pray on what you learned.

Alas, many don't, believing they'll remember. They don't realize that writing down what God says is an integral part of our relationship with Him. For instance, Habakkuk 2:2 teaches, Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it (NKJV). Jesus also told John the Revelator in Revelation 1:19 - Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.

God illustrated the significance of this on Mount Sinai. There, He gave Moses the Ten Commandments written on two stone tablets by His own hand (Exodus 31:18). He knew the nature of the human mind and didn't want His people to have to rely on memory alone to remember these instructions. This approach partly explains why we have the Bible - those who came before us wrote what He revealed, leaving it for future directions.

Prophet Jeremiah diligently kept track of what God revealed. His scribe, Baruch, faithfully wrote what the Lord told the prophet, and this earned Baruch a reward - the same God gave Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:19. God promised that nobody would kill Baruch (Jeremiah 45:5). This was a great blessing because Jerusalem was under siege by the Babylonians. The one who wrote down God's words for the prophet received the prophet's reward (Matthew 10:41).

Think about Daniel, who later studied Jeremiah's prophetic writings while he served in the Babylonian palace. That was how he learned that Israel would only be in captivity for 70 years. He launched into a fast that caused a confrontation when demons tried to prevent an angel from giving Daniel more understanding of the prophecy. He dutifully wrote what he learned, and countless others can read and learn from his experiences.

So what are you doing with the things God tells you? Are you noting them down as Baruch did for Jeremiah? Do you return to them, fasting and praying for God's insight and instructions, the way Daniel did? Or do you say to yourself, 'that was nice', then do nothing?

We cannot take for granted the great gift the Lord gives when He shares His wisdom. The Bible reveals how to treat such precious information, and it is up to us to follow the good examples left by God's servants. People God trusted to reveal the unsearchable things to. If it was good enough for them to write things down and meditate on them, why not us?

If, however, we choose to be irresponsible and squander what He reveals by not doing what we should - writing things down, praying about them, studying God's word for more insight on them - then we risk no longer being among those deemed worthy to receive His more. May that never be our portion. By the grace of God, we will treat what He shares with reverence and be trusted to get more, IJN, Amen.

CLOSING PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of another day to fellowship in Your name. Thank You for bringing us together from different countries to honor You with our worship and intercession. It is only because of You.

We thank You as well for what we learned today about how we are to treat what You teach us. Help us to honor Your provision and treat it with the reverence it deserves. Help us to hear Your Holy Spirit when He nudges us to do the right thing with what You have revealed. Grace and strength to obey, great King.

As we go our separate ways, I pray You will cover today's participants under Your wings. I plead…

LAST 10 MINUTES

Have you, like me, not treated a revelation God gave you with the respect it deserves? Did you maybe have a dream, and instead of taking a moment to pray and ask for guidance, then write it down, you just carried on with your day? God reveals to redeem. So let's pray for grace and strength to not make a habit of ignoring what He tells us.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who made me and deemed me worthy to have access to You. Thank You for being so concerned and intentional with me that You share what I need to know. I confess that I have treated what You shared…

Sovereign Lord, You created the heavens, the earth, the seas, and everything in them. Take all the glory, mighty Creator.

Father, I lift before You the many believers who have cooled in their faith or walked away altogether. Lord, have mercy. Remember that You called them onto You in the first place and in Your patience, continue to persevere for their souls, oh Lord.

Remember Your word in Jeremiah 3:22 - “Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding.” “Yes, we will come to you, for you are the LORD our God.

I stand in the gap for these ones. I pray that You will forgive and have mercy upon them. Remember that You sent Jesus to die on…
