The First Revelation

Base everything on the Scriptures. First general revelation, which is in the Scriptures, then we can seek for personal revelation. Now the Bible doesn’t tell me that I’m to go as a missionary to India. If that is to be true, I have to get a personal revelation. But, I’m not entitled to expect personal revelations if I’m not living in the general revelation which is true for all Christians. If you live according to the general revelation, then you can expect personal revelation when you need it. But if you ignore the general, I think you’re almost insulting God to say, “God, give me a special word.” God will say, “Why don’t you read my Bible?”
