Revelation Knowledge

Jesus gives to anyone He wills revelation knowledge.

Matt 11:25-27 At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. 26 “Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. 27 “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

The great truths Jesus spoke were revealed to babes (the unlearned). These “babes” were anyone to whom the Son willed to give revelation.

Jesus gave revelation knowledge to anyone – male or female. Why would He “shut the mouths” of the women to whom He gave His revelation knowledge.

Jesus did not “shut the mouth” of the Samaritan woman when she received revelation knowledge that He was the Messiah. Jesus did not shut her mouth as she ran to her village and reported/proclaimed she had met the Messiah and for them to come and see.

Jesus did not “shut the mouth” of Mary Magdalene after she received revelation knowledge that He had risen from the dead. NO, indeed He did not! Instead Jesus commanded her to go and tell – to proclaim to the other disciples what had been revealed to her.

The prophetess Anna’s mouth was not shut when she received revelation knowledge that the babe in Mary’s arms was the awaited for Messiah. She went forth proclaiming to all who would listen that the awaited for Messiah had come.

Why would Jesus command the mouths of women filled with His revelation knowledge to be shut just because they step inside a building called a church or because they step behind a stand called a pulpit? He would not!!!

As we look at the example of Jesus we see that He did not / does not shut the mouths of women who are filled with His revelation knowledge.
