For years I studied the Word. I read every book I could lay my hands on and sat under every Bible teacher they would let me sit under. But I still didn't know God, nor did I really understand His Word. Although Jesus was living in my heart, He was a stranger to me. Do you know Jesus? Do you understand His Word? It took some extreme circumstances in my life to bring me to the place where the Holy Spirit began to reveal Jesus to me and in me. I will never forget the first night the Spirit began to "divide asunder" the veil of the flesh between my soul and spirit. I began to see Jesus and understand His Word. The Holy Spirit became my teacher, and I started to receive His divine revelation. You see, no one can show you Jesus except the Holy Spirit. This living reality miraculously set me on the path of divine discovery that I am still walking in today. Come and walk with me and my Teacher, the Holy Spirit. Learn how to hear His voice through God's Word. Let Jesus be revealed in you, and receive the divine revelation of who He is, the Christ who lives in your heart.
"A mother in Israel" thrust forth to the body of Christ for this transitional time." In introducing Dr. Pickett many ministers have said: "We have a rare opportunity to hear a lady who is believed by many pastors to be one of the world's finest Bible teachers alive today. A number of the internationally-known ministers preaching today have been influenced by the ministry of Dr. Fuchsia Pickett. All who desire to hear a fresh revelation from the throne room of God will want to investigate her resource materials.
Many people have testified that their lives will never be the same after listening to the prophetic, highly anointed ministry of Sister Pickett. Her ministry is both national and international in scope. She has a special prophetic anointing in the are as of introducing the Holy Spirit, worship, revelation, leadership, Christian maturity, and revival.
A life time student of the Word, Dr. Pickett has three earned doctorates in theology, including a Doctor of Divinity degree. She is a native of Virginia, raised in North Carolina. Answering the Lord's call to minister the Word of God, she studied at John Wesley College and Virginia Bible College. She did undergraduate work at colleges in Virginia and North Carolina, and graduate work in Florida.
As an ordained Methodist minister, she moved in the Evangelical Methodist stream. In 1959, after becoming terminally ill, Dr. Pickett resigned her pastorate and spent much of the next year in hospitals. On April 12, 1959, she was carried into a church to attend a service she felt would be her last. God miraculously changed the course of her life that morning as He healed her and baptized her in the Holy Spirit. Her testimony is that the greatest thing that ever happened to her was when her "Teacher" came in the Person of the Holy Spirit to unveil the Christ in her and to her, Whom she had studied and taught about for so many years.
Following God's miraculous intervention, Dr. Pickett ministered for the next seven years as a conference evangelist and teacher. Most of her ministry was focused on the West Coast where wonderful revivals took place confirming God's tremendous anointing upon her ministry. In 1966 Dr. Pickett settled in Texas where she became affiliated with a large Bible college as head of the Bible Department, Academic Dean, Director of the College, and conference speaker.
In 1971, Dr. Pickett, with her husband, Leroy founded Fountain Gate Ministries. Fountain Gate was an Interdenominational Church whose ministries included Fountain Gate Church, Fountain Gate College, Little Lambs Preschool, Fountain Gate Christian Academy, a nation-wide Tape Lending Library, daily radio program, and weekly television ministry.
In the fall of 1988, Dr. Pickett answered the call of God and the Church to go to the body of Christ at large as a Mother-in-Israel. Sensing the mandate of God upon her life to travel and minister to pastors and leaders, she was thrust forth by God and her church into the harvest field. Having relocated in Tennessee, she and her husband, Leroy, are now based at Shekinah Ministries, Blountville, TN., and travel extensively.
Dr. Pickett is adjunct professor for Beacon Theological Seminary as well as being in great demand as a conference speaker. She is fulfilling the call to help leaders and churches during this transitional period to prepare the Church to enter into her inheritance.

"It is imperative that we fill our minds with the Word of God if we expect to receive divine revelation. That is how the Holy Spirit is able to show us the things of Jesus and shine His light on our carnality. As we obey Him and submit to the Word of God, revelation will come." (Fuchsia T. Pickett, Receiving Divine Revelation)
The author begins this book explaining why we need revelation. She explains that in order for us to experience the relationship with God that He intends, we need revelation of Christ in us, so the veil of the flesh in us can be cut in two from top to bottom. Then we will think God's thoughts and walk in His ways. She explains how the Holy Spirit is our Instructor and teaches us as God's children. She says, "It is the Holy Spirit's task to lead us into all truth (John 16:13). God knew we needed an instructor. That is why He sent the Holy Spirit to be our divine Teacher. He welcomes our questions and is there to answer them for us." I learned through this book that the whole purpose of revelation is to transform us into the image of Christ and cause us to live as He lived.
As we study the Word of God with the Holy Spirit as our Teacher, we we will receive divine revelation, and our thoughts and our ways will become more aligned with God our Father. This will cause Jesus to increase in us, and our old man to decrease in us. To cause us to become sons and daughters with knowledge.
At the end of the book, she gives some practical suggestions on tools to use to study the Bible, like different Bible translations, commentaries, lexicons...
To summarize this book; it is about how studying the Word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal the Word to you (Christ in you) causes the veil of the flesh, the world and the devil to be ripped to pieces and destroyed in your life and develops a deeper relationship with God.
