Host/Minister: Noel Ramos (guest minister at Dufresne Ministries)
Date: April 10, 2023

In this energizing message at the Dufresne Ministries 2023 Prayer Conference, Noel Ramos explores the profound connection between prayer, hunger for God, and receiving revelation. Drawing from personal experiences, Scriptural insights, and spiritual mentorship, Noel explains how revelation (spiritual light) is accessed and manifested in the believer’s life—ultimately bringing about transformation, faith, and provision.

Key Themes & Discussion Points

The Power of Prayer and Spiritual Hunger

• Prayer as a Catalyst for Revelation:
  Noel highlights that while miracles do not come directly by prayer, prayer stirs spiritual hunger, which positions the believer to receive revelation (God’s light).

  • "Prayer will cause a hunger in your heart because prayer will bring you to revelation, and when that revelation comes, it equals faith, because faith cometh by hearing." [02:22]

• Miracles Flow from Revelation:
  Sharing stories of traveling and praying with his father (also a minister), Noel describes witnessing healings, emphasizing how such experiences sparked a hunger for more of God in his spirit.

• Hunger Must Be God-Given:
  He cautions against trying to force spiritual hunger, asserting that only the Holy Spirit can genuinely produce it:

  • "You cannot create hunger without the Holy Ghost revealing it to your spirit." [04:43]

The Role of Impartation, Mentorship, and Identity

• Impartation Releases Potential:
  Noel credits Pastor Nancy Dufresne and other leaders for seeing qualities in him he didn’t recognize in himself, helping him overcome self-doubt—a common challenge among those feeling inadequate by background or upbringing.

  • "They see in me something that not too many see... They helped me develop it... helped me get out of that mindset to get my mind renewed so I can move forward." [07:04]

• Receiving from Spiritual Leaders:
  Prayer for leaders brings light and allows the congregation to partake in their anointing:

  • "We prayed for them so the utterance that God will give to them, I will seek it out in my spirit. And whatever they have, it will become mine." [08:25]

Revelation - Light for Transformation

• Revelation Precedes Manifestation:
  Changes in life begin with receiving light (revelation) in the spirit, then manifest externally:

  • "The light is not just in you. The light is also in your natural life. You will see it in your life happening." [11:45]

• Many Christians collect revelation without seeing practical results because they haven’t fully embraced or spoken out what God reveals.

• Praying in the Spirit Brings Revelation:
  Praying in tongues brings the believer to a place of spiritual perception and understanding, often resulting in specific Scriptures or prophetic insight (e.g., Isaiah 60: "Arise, shine, for your light has come"). [09:53-10:58]

Don’t Be Satisfied With Tradition—Seek Fresh Revelation

• Revelation is Progressive:
  Knowledge and things are accelerating in the natural and so is revelation in the spirit—God reveals more as we press in.
  • "It will not accelerate in your life in the natural until the revelation accelerates in your spirit. We are in that time now." [13:19]
• Caution against simply going through the motions in prayer or ministry, missing the freshness of God’s light.

Biblical Examples: Living by Revelation

• Elijah:
  Remained in the cave until he heard God’s "still, small voice"—only revelation, not raw displays of power, moved him forward.

  • "There was a move of God. There was wind... earthquake. He can feel all these things. It was a great move, but no revelation. He waited until a still, small voice." [15:39]

• Adam & Eve:
  Lost their place due to lack of revelation of their authority and fellowship with God.

  • "The devil took advantage of their ignorance. No revelation of the authority that God has given to them." [19:08]

• Judas:
  Witnessed miracles and received impartation, but failed to persist in revelation and lost his appointed place.

• Moses:
  His encounters in the wilderness, such as the burning bush, were moments of seeking and moving toward revelation—modeling fellowship and responsiveness to God.

  • "God will not push Himself to you. You got to know what pleases Him... that's prayer, fellowship." [34:06]

Light, Fellowship, and Walking in Love

• Revelation is the Basis of True Fellowship:
  From 1 John, Noel teaches that genuine fellowship with God is only possible in the light of revelation; prayer and spiritual activity without revelation leave one in darkness.

  • "If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie... Truth is revelation." [26:59]

• Walking in Love Proves the Light is in Us:
  Unforgiveness or hatred indicates walking in darkness. The proof of revelation is ongoing love for others, which sometimes only prayer by the Holy Ghost can renew.

Authority and Victory Come From Revelation

• Authority is Based on Revelation:

  • "There is no authority of the believer without God revealing His Word to us. That revelation becomes authority." [42:17]
  • As believers live in revelation, they withstand the enemy and see God’s plans flourish in their experience.

• Hedge of Protection - Job:
  Job’s ignorance produced fear; his partial revelation limited him, but when God intervened and Job prayed for his friends, he was restored double.

Faith, Provision, and Prosperity Flow from Revelation and Fellowship

• True Prosperity is God Himself, Not Just Blessings:

  • "Son, I am your wealthy place. Not this stuff. I am... Fellowship with everything you have, I'm still your wealthy place." [46:46]

• Thankfulness Reinforces the Light:
  Remaining thankful for what has already been revealed and received opens the way for more.

Practical Application

• Pray By The Spirit:
  Cultivate a practice of continual, fervent prayer and expect to hear and see by revelation—not just tradition.

• Act on Revelation:
  Step out in the natural when spirit-led light comes. Speak and act on what the Holy Ghost reveals, even in small things like honoring others, giving, or ministering.
