THE REVEALER

I never expected to be anything. I didn’t ask for a title. But once I began praying in tongues, only God knows what was being prayed for.

1 Corinthians 14:2 "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."

What I do know is at that time Holy Spirit began to move in ways I couldn’t ignore. Sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly, and often with visions and words that pressed on my heart until they were written down.

Around 2020, the Holy Spirit made one thing clear: you are a“revealer.” It wasn’t explained. It wasn’t dramatic. It was simply given. I had never heard of a gift of the Spirit called "revealer." I researched the gifts again, told my husband about it, and tucked it away and didn’t pursue it.

That same year, in December 2020, I felt led to write a Facebook post about Roe v. Wade being overturned. I didn’t understand it. I didn’t have a timeline. I only knew I was supposed to write it and leave it alone. So I did.

Then, sometime in 2022, our fairly new — and first in 20 years of marriage — pastor preached a message on gifts. In the middle of that sermon, he used the word “revealer.” Hearing that word spoken publicly after the Holy Spirit had already whispered it to me privately stopped me in my tracks. “Flabbergasted” is the right word. It was like God quietly underlined what He had already said.

Later that same year, in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The post I had written back in December 2020 suddenly had context. I hadn’t understood it when I wrote it — I just obeyed. The meaning unfolded in God’s timing, not mine.

That’s when the word “revealer” began to make sense. Not as a title I claimed, but as a description of what had been happening all along. The Holy Spirit reveals: Sometimes it’s a whisper, sometimes a vision, sometimes a word that won’t leave until it’s written. The understanding comes later.

A calling isn’t about status or office. It isn’t about being seen or being right. It’s about being obedient. It’s about listening. It’s about trusting that God knows what He’s doing, even when you don’t. All glory to God always!

This testimony is given as encouragement for the Body of Christ: God still speaks. He still reveals. And He still uses ordinary people in quiet, unexpected ways to bring His purposes to light.

May He guide your steps and light your path.
