4. Revelation Revelation refers to initial Impressions:
Different levels of intensity
Different levels of specificity
Don’t despise small beginnings
Keep these initial impressions clear in your mind before rushing ahead with the word

5. Interpretation Interpretation refers to:
What the initial impressions might mean
How you communicate it to the receiver
When Revelation is not distinct from Interpretation, errors often occur!
© 2006, Nathan Eckel

6. Application
Application refers to how & when the receiver responds or does not respond to the word.
If you believe you have insight into this area, suggest it to the receiver.
Remind the receiver that they are responsible to discern the word. It should line up with scripture.
We offer the word; they decide what to do with it.

7. Traffic Light Analogy
Revelation
Interpretation
Application

8. Red Light - Revelation
STOP for a moment to clarify the Revelation before you communicate it to the receiver
Articulate what you see, feel, hear, etc…
Don’t determine meanings, just clarify the Revelation

9. Yellow Light - Interpretation
Communicate ONLY Revelation
Distinguish between Revelation & Interpretation - don’t blend them!
Sometimes asking “does this impression mean anything to you?” brings an interpretation
Other team members often have an interpretation

10. Green Light – Application
Your job is done! The receiver discerns the word & application
God is the Source, so we avoid
Taking “credit”
Receiving blame

11. Green Light – Alternate Application
Application also can refer to the communication of Revelation
Using prophetic in “the world”
Keep Red & Yellow lights separate for best results!
