Title: God Is A Revealer
Speaker: Amy Siegel (with Nancy Dufresne, Charles Kemp Brown, others)
Location: Collinsville, Oklahoma | JTH Crusades 2024 | Tuesday AM
Date: October 9, 2024

This episode centers on the theme that God is a revealer of mysteries, particularly through the work of the Holy Spirit. The discussion weaves together teaching, scriptural study, real-life illustrations, and practical guidelines for entering into “God’s realm” by praying in the Spirit (specifically, in other tongues). Amy Siegel and supporting ministers encourage believers to go beyond intellectual knowledge and habitual practice, emphasizing intimacy, obedience, and the stewardship of divine revelations.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Living in God's Realm (00:00–07:00)

• Nancy Dufresne welcomes everyone, setting the tone for active participation in God's supernatural realm—not as passive observers, but as engaged partners.
• Emphasizes the privilege and responsibility of carrying God and His light into everyday situations.
• Warns against spiritual complacency and routine:

  “We've got to watch that. We have come today to participate with Him.” — Nancy Dufresne (02:50)

2. God as the Revealer—Scripture Foundation (07:00–15:00)

• Scripture Reading: John 16:12-14, 1 Corinthians 14:2.
• Amy Siegel highlights that the Holy Spirit’s role is to reveal what the Father has given to Jesus, and Jesus desires the Spirit’s revelations to reach every believer—not just pastors or prophets.
• The necessity of experience, not just knowledge:

  “Knowing how to pray is not being in the Spirit.” — Amy Siegel (10:50)

• Praying in tongues (speaking in the Spirit) is how we utter God’s mysteries, going beyond mere head knowledge.

3. Daniel's Example & the Protocol for Revelation (15:00–23:00)

• Amy retells Daniel 2 (using the ESV), illustrating how Daniel sought God for the revelation of Nebuchadnezzar’s mysterious dream.
• Key principle: God not only reveals secrets, but proper response (gratitude and worship) increases what He reveals.
• Old Testament: Only special individuals (like Daniel) could access revelation.
• New Testament: Every believer, by the Spirit, now has access.

“There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.” — Daniel (quoted at 18:50)

4. The Process & Power of Praying in the Spirit (23:00–30:00)

• Praying in tongues transports believers “into His realm.”
• When spirit-led, what is mysterious to us is not mysterious to God.
• Power is released through doing (praying in other tongues), not theoretical understanding.
• Illustrative analogy: Her husband’s “e-bike” with “power-assist”—the assist only activates when you start pedaling. Likewise, God’s power assists once you pray:

  “The power's there in the bike, but until you start pedaling, there's no assistance given.” — Amy Siegel (29:35)

5. Secrets, Intimacy, and Stewardship (30:00–43:00)

• Not every revelation is for public sharing; many things are meant to remain intimate between God and the believer unless He directs otherwise.
• Guard what God reveals for deeper intimacy and further use.
• Guidelines:
  • Don't be quick to share every spiritual insight.
  • Ask: “Father, is this for me, or to share—or to simply keep praying out?” (40:55)
• Misuse can hinder further revelation.
• The handling of spiritual secrets is “like tithing”—God watches what you do with what He gives.

6. Three Practical ‘Warning Signs’ for Praying in the Spirit (44:00–53:00)

• 1. Keep Secrets: Be a “keeper of secrets.” Handle with maturity.
• 2. You Know in Part: God often reveals in parts, not the whole picture. Don’t let your mind take over to “solve” things—be content with your portion.

  “He gives in part… Don’t let your mind get involved with it. Don’t try to figure out who did it.” — Amy Siegel (47:16)

• 3. God Decides Timing and Method: Don’t try to “force” a revelation. Ask what (and who) God wants you to pray for.
• Sometimes, the Spirit prompts us to pray for others or distant needs, trusting our own issues are covered when we obey.

7. Training for Champions (with Charles Kemp Brown) (67:20–76:03)

• Charles Kemp Brown adds:
  • The difference between “gathering” and “assembling”—to assemble is to fit together for purpose (like a functional fireplace), not just be a pile of stones.
  • The Holy Spirit wants believers assembled so God’s fire (Spirit) has purpose and impact.
  • Champions (spiritually and in sport) are built by repetition and right response, not singular moments of knowledge.
  • Changing vocabulary: “I do know” (by the Spirit), instead of “I don’t know.”

  “Champions talk differently. They change their vocabulary… He’ll reveal it to you—at the right time, at the right place.” — Charles Kemp Brown (70:30)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “God is real. He's here right now, and he's wanting to reveal to us today. But if we come thinking, 'I've heard that verse before,’… we will miss what he is trying to reveal.”
  — Amy Siegel (04:50)

• “Knowing how to pray is not being in the Spirit. You actually have to do what the Word says… In order to pray out mysteries, one must actually yield their tongue and speak out in other tongues.”
  — Amy Siegel (10:52)

• “The mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night...When God speaks to you, answer… Respond correctly.”
  — Amy Siegel (16:40)

• “When we get to this place where he starts to reveal these things, know that they're between him and me... He’s the revealer. If He wants to use my mouth to help someone, He’ll help me know that.”
  — Amy Siegel (42:30)

• “Don’t stop and analyze. Don’t stop and think. Less thinking, more praying, more speaking.”
  — Amy Siegel’s Husband (54:53)

• “The power’s there in the bike, but until you start pedaling, there’s no assistance given. Until we start yielding in prayer… there's going to be no assist, no mysteries are going to be revealed.”
  — Amy Siegel (29:35)

• “Applications are open for God… for those who want to work with Him in prayer… Now He needs people He can trust.”
  — Amy Siegel’s Husband (53:27)
