When God discloses something to you, it affects not only your personal life but also the Kingdom of God.
For instance, God revealed to me a situation where this woman would express frustration over the fact that whenever she shared divine revelation with a particular person, they would dismissed it. When I inquired of God the reason behind this, He explained that it stemmed from the person not holding the woman in the same esteem as they would someone they admire. Unfortunately, the woman was also guilty of the same behavior.
Every time a particular person tried to communicate with the woman what God was revealing to them about her, she would reject it, feel offended and become angry. God revealed that she was replicating the same behavior and treating the other people in the same way she was being treated.
Suddenly, I realized that God does not disclose things to us randomly. Every action and word of His carries a purpose. In this instance, He used this woman's situation to personally reveal something to me.
The purpose behind revealing this situation to me was to prevent me from repeating the same behavior. He did not want me to mirror the behavior of the woman by becoming arrogant and hypocritical.
God has the ability to see our past, present, and future simultaneously, and what He saw in me needed to be changed. As He was giving me this insight, I realized that God was helping me and changing me, and it sparked my curiosity to want to know more.
It dawned on me later that my desire to learn more was actually the Holy Spirit prompting me to seek further understanding. I came to understand that whenever God gives us instructions or reveals something to us, it is always for our own good and for the advancement of His kingdom (Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 23:6, 34:8, 145:6-7; Matthew 7:11).
God wants us to show the world the power of His love. Therefore, He reminded me that the most effective way in achieving this is to reflect and mirror Jesus and His love through our interactions with others.
He also cautioned me to be aware that people are watching and observing our behavior.
In this situation with the offended woman, God pointed out how she would complain about how she was being treated but never acknowledge, and at times intentionally choose not to acknowledge, that she does the same thing due to pride. Her pride and stubbornness resulted in three outcomes: arrogance, sensitivity to rejection, and hypocrisy.
She ignored the messages from the person who relayed God's messages to her because of her insecurity and jealousy. This person, once her mentee, was now excelling beyond her, sparking her jealousy. Her desire to feel superior arose from her own insecurities.
The point here is that when God reveals something to us, we should seek to understand its purpose, as it benefits us and furthers God's Kingdom.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
