JOTS FROM OLD JAKE
MYSTERIES:
Friday, May. 11, 2007 - 11:49 p.m.
(Proverbs 25:2 KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
The mysteries of the Kingdom of God have been kept concealed by the Lord since before time as we know it. But because of God sending His Son to die for us and then raising him from the grave� ascending to Heaven� sending us the Holy Spirit� we are given the keys to the mysteries if we have faith / believe in Jesus. This mystery is the Wisdom of God, the Understanding of Godly things. The wisdom of the carnal man and the intellect of the carnal man are nothing� they are temporal. The intelligence of the carnal man sees the Wisdom the Spirit to be foolish, when in fact the truth is that it is really the opposite. The Wisdom of God is FOR EVER� That is a long time! The wisdom of man will die. The Wisdom of God is the same from the beginning to the end� The wisdom of man has even changed the short time I have lived on this earth.
Below are just a few verses regarding Mystery:
(Heb 11:3 KJV) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Rom 1:18-20 KJV) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(Mat 13:11 KJV) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
It is great to have these Mysteries under out spiritual belt� but with our Love it is nothing!
(1 Cor 13:2 KJV) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
When we talk in the Spirit we are speaking mysteries.
(1 Cor 14:2 KJV) For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
(1 Cor 2:7 - 12 KJV) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
We are to be good stewards of the Mysteries of God: Hmm something to think about.
(1 Cor 4:1 KJV) Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Today�s memory verse:
(Psalms 57:1-3 KJV) To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
May You Be Blessed by the Holy Spirit to Overflowing!
Bye for Now!
