Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. (Genesis 28:16-18)
The revelations that God gives us in His Word are tremendous. However, before you experience their fulfillment, you need to take two very important steps: take a stance spiritually and act by faith.
Many men and women of God, upon receiving the revelation of the Word, are enchanted with what they read when they realize that the text speaks exactly about their needs! In fact, they even get relieved, but they don’t wake up and as a result they fail to realize that it’s time to act.
Staying in a state of ecstasy and being awe-struck will not cause the divine power to get into action. The Lord wants to show Himself to His people. So, when you hear His voice, take a stand immediately. Just as it happened with Jacob, you too will live the rich promises of the Lord!
