Go beyond your last revelation (Matt. 16:13–20).
Nobody could get more revelation than Peter, but he didn’t get it when Andrew brought him to Jesus. A lot of you need to be honest. You don’t get it when you first hook in, but you know something’s drawing you. Peter started following, but he didn’t get it until about two years and eight months into his time with Jesus. Then all of a sudden he got it. He went beyond what he knew, and Father connected with him. Peter said, “I know who you are. You are the Christ, the Messiah; You are the One.”
Jesus said, “Only Father could have shown you that,” and then He prophesied to him. Peter went beyond but only stayed beyond about ten minutes—and that’s legitimate. You can get it when someone is prophesying it on Sunday, but then by Tuesday you’re saying, “What was that? Did somebody say something?” It’s legitimate. Don’t over-judge Peter. Know that you have to go beyond your last revelation.
