Faith is a Revelation

You ever have faith, it's given to you by the grace of God. And God reveals it to you, therefore faith is a revelation. And the whole Church of God is built upon the revelation

Matthew 11:25

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Now, faith is a revelation. There's where I want to stay, there, just a moment. It's a revelation. He has revealed it to you by His grace. It's nothing you did. You didn't work yourself up into faith. You ever have faith, it's given to you by the grace of God. And God reveals it to you, therefore faith is a revelation. And the whole Church of God is built upon the revelation. Jesus said to (I believe it was Peter)…said, He said, “Who do men say I the Son of man am?” He was talking to His disciples. “And some said You’re ‘Elias,’ and ‘Moses,’ or ‘One of the prophets,’ and ‘Jeremiah.’” He said, “But who do you say?” He said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Now, the Roman Catholic church says, “He was speaking to Peter, ‘Upon this rock, I’ll build My Church.’” The Protestants said, “He was building It upon Himself.” Now, they could be right. But, to me, both of them’s wrong. It was upon the spiritual revelation of Who He was. “Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, Peter. But My Father, which is in Heaven, has revealed this to you. And upon this rock,” the revelation of Who He is; upon the revelation: He is the Word, in the whole. “Upon this rock, I’ll build My Church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against It.” It showed the gates of hell would be against It.
