“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known (1 Corinthians 13:12 NASB).”
Definition: The act of revealing or disclosing; disclosure; something revealed or disclosed, especially of something not before realized; God's disclosure of Himself and His will to His creatures; an instance of such communication or disclosure; something thus communicated or disclosed; something that contains such disclosure, as the Bible (Dictionary.com).
For something to be revealed it means it was first concealed or hidden. Some revelation we seek and find or find out, some we ask for and receive or gain understanding about and some revelation is bigger, requiring commitment and authorization by connecting to God's Spirit. We petition or knock and we are given access or are allowed to enter in and join in the revelation with those allowed to join before. Revelation progresses and we progress with it: We pursue, we receive, we join, we commit and we declare. If we halt the progression; if we take a few things we have learned or received and stop short of entering into full revelation then we can easily set up against God that which we know. We should never compete with the knowledge of God. Our hearts and minds are to be set on Him, and His revelation needs to flow. If it is allowed to set, like concrete, in stubborn belief or tradition it will one day need to be broken up and moved. God may even let remain our strong held beliefs that set lofty against Him, and even turn us over to our set ways and profane minds to direct us instead of Him. Our commitment is not to revelation, but to the revealer, and His commitment is not merely returned to us, but to the world. We must take what we receive and move as one body in revelatory declaration and reconciliation - always bringing life through the Holy Spirit and not letting revelation retention become our life or become the power behind our own societal elevation.
Prayers: We pray our child seeks and joins You in Your way of revelation with the fullest expression and capacity of it humanly possible. Thank You for showing us the Way and trusting us with offering it to the world. Let it be that our child joins Your body fitly and strongly while receiving from others and releasing to others the truly given parts of Your revelation.
Please help our child to be aware of the limits of our earthly vision, but also the reality of reconciliation You brought to Earth through Jesus where we regain access to Your presence.

We are grateful that You make it impossible to have fullness without You. Thank You for inspiring us to be filled with Your presence and Your revelation. Please help guide our child in pursuit of You Lord, and may Your revealing light that pursuit so our child never stays in the dark.
Thank You for Your help and blessings.
