Pastor Barron Greenwalt highlights the profound revival experienced by the exiled people in Nehemiah 8, emphasizing the significance of attentive reading and understanding of God’s Word. The process of revelation, repentance, and joy led to spiritual renewal, showcasing that true revival starts with Scripture and culminates in joyful obedience and strength from the Lord.
While God spoke dramatically in the Old Testament through voices, dreams, angels, and theophanies, such experiences were rare even then. Today, our primary, constant way to hear God is through His living Word—the Bible. True revelation and guidance come from daily studying and meditating on Scripture, not delegating it to others (2 Timothy 3:16-17). All prophecy must align perfectly with the Bible (1 John 4:1), and we should follow only those rooted in the Word. Like the Bereans (Acts 17:11), test everything against Scripture. The Holy Spirit illuminates truth to believers (1 Corinthians 2:14). Be a diligent student of God’s Word—it’s the unshakable foundation.
