Your Revelation Will Be Tested – A Message from Pastor Jason Mayfield

In this video, Pastor Jason Mayfield delivers a powerful message about the reality of revelation—how it comes, how it changes us, and most importantly, how it will be tested.

Revelation: More Than Just a Spiritual Buzzword

Many believers think of “revelation” as a mystical, once-in-a-lifetime moment when God drops an earth-shattering truth into their laps. And while that can happen, Pastor Mayfield explains that revelation actually comes in different forms:

1. A Foundational Revelation – A game-changing, life-altering truth that completely transforms your understanding of God. Pastor Mayfield shares how receiving a revelation of grace required him to reconcile his Pentecostal holiness background with the freedom found in Christ.

2. Insights from the Holy Spirit – These are smaller, yet still powerful truths that bring clarity to specific areas like finances, ministry, or relationships. They may not change your entire world, but they can significantly improve it.

3. An Anointing for a Season – God sometimes places a unique anointing on someone for a specific period. This is why David refused to harm King Saul—he recognized that even though Saul was failing, he was still God’s anointed in that season.

Your Revelation Will Be Tested

Whatever revelation you receive, expect it to be tested. Pastor Mayfield dives into 1 Corinthians 3:5-15, where Paul describes how our works will be revealed and tested by fire. The same principle applies to revelation—when tough times come, the strength of what you believe will be exposed.

He makes an important distinction: this passage isn’t about whether someone is going to heaven or hell. It’s about teaching and receiving revelation. Some teachings will hold up under pressure, while others will burn away because they were incomplete or built on a shaky foundation.

Hold onto Your Revelation in Difficult Times

When life gets hard, that’s when your revelation matters most. Pastor Mayfield points to Romans 4:18, where Abraham “hoped against hope” and chose to believe God’s promise, even when all natural evidence suggested otherwise.

He shares a deeply personal story about his daughter, Allison, who was born at just 24 weeks. In that difficult season, he and his wife, Ashleigh, held onto their revelation of grace. They reminded themselves that they were the righteousness of God in Christ, and that truth carried them through.

Evaluate Your Revelation in the Aftermath

Once you’ve walked through the fire, take a step back and assess—did the revelation hold up? Did it sustain you? Did it bear fruit?

Pastor Mayfield cautions against judging a revelation based on a single battle rather than the entire war. Just because you face setbacks doesn’t mean the revelation is false. Sometimes, struggles are part of the journey to ultimate victory.

Final Thoughts

Pastor Mayfield closes with a challenge: pursue revelation. Get into the Word daily (TearUpYourBible.com is a great place to start), listen to teaching that ignites something in your spirit, and cling to the truth God has revealed to you.

Revelation isn’t just about knowing something new—it’s about living it out, standing firm when it’s tested, and emerging stronger on the other side.
