MYSTERIES
OF GOD
Revelation, inspiration, searching, knocking, asking; these are all
pathways that lead a seeker into the knowledge of the mysteries of God.
"God is a Spirit,"
says the scripture. His divine existence is one that can only be
perceived, and believed on a non-sensing level. If I say that I know God,
whom you neither know nor see, you can only judge my assertions on the
basis of my personal credibility. Some spokes persons for God are more
credible than others. The early apostles did not so much argue the
existence of God as a theory or concept, as to prove His existence by
supernatural attestations; demonstrating the
Power of God.
(1Corinthians 2). So we have the matter of proving to a materialistic
non-believing world that God is real and that He still has a part in the
day-to-day affairs of this world and its occupants. We are given understanding in the light of Jeshua (Jesus) on a line by line, precept upon precept, understanding that Jesus is the Word of God, Itself the greatest mystery. For when the Scripture is made known in its completeness we shall See Him as He IS. I have indexed a series of writings that deal with the subject of Mysteries. They do little more than introduce the topics of God's mysteries, some of the mysteries. There remains, more, much more to be gleaned within these domains to study. Moreover, there are likely more and more mysteries and mysteries within mysteries which will come into our field of view in due time. Revelation is progressive and always deepening as His truth is being revealed by God's Holy Spirit in God's divine time. God is withholding certain things from us because it is not yet His time. Contrary to some ecclesiastical authorities, we do not have all the answers (facts) and understanding as to Who God is and what His complete plan is for His Body, The Church (another mystery). Matthew 16:16
But who say ye that I am? THE
MYSTERIES OF GOD The Bible, Word of God, is not an ordinary book. It is divinely inspired or more correctly, divinely authored. The word has an informational component, but more importantly it has a revelatory component. The word translated as "Word" has two forms in original Greek text. The Logos and the Rhema. The Logos pertains to the sum of the recorded word, the total counsel of God or the mind of God in its sum and its character. It may also be said that the Logos pertains to the Law of God. The Rhema is the word which means "spoken" or voiced, the Rhema component is the portion of the Word which is God breathed in the present moment. It is the voice of God which speaks spiritually to the mind and heart of the reader, or in this case "the hearer". True hearing is a spiritual process. The Spirit of God releases us to hear. The scripture says, "Man can not live by bread only, but by every word, (Rhema) which proceeds from the mouth of God." It is God himself who governs this flow of his revelation into the hearts of the hearer and this by an act of Grace. Even understanding is through the Grace of God. Though this Grace is evidently absent to many who pick up the Scriptures to read it is available to those who ask for it humbly in faith. It would be presumptuous, however, to assume that we are automatically entitled to it. It is equally presumptuous to assume we may understand or comprehend the mystery of the Word with only the natural mind. Again the apostle Paul reminds us, "the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."(2Corinthians 3:6) The Holy Spirit is He who God has sent to teach all things which are from Christ and God. I do not pretend to be the only person who has received this understanding and doctrine for God is truly no respecter of persons and will reveal Himself to any who seek Him. Judge the words and spirit of any who profess to speak of/for God. You the reader or hearer must judge these words against the Logos, the whole counsel of God. Judge the words of this writing against the whole counsel of God. The AMEN of God is the FAITHFUL WITNESS. The knowledge of God is free to all. But, the knowledge of God is hidden or veiled until the veil is removed by the Spirit of Christ Jesus. We who are of the faith may say, "I was once blind, but now I see" (read, John Chapter 9.) Here
