The deep mysteries of GOD are revealed through The Holy Spirit. We are partakers of HIS Divine Nature thus we need to have our actions reflect our revelation, else it is not yet a revelation… only information.
In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus taught:
8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
The deep mysteries of GOD are available to those of us who have “ears to hear” and “eyes to see”. The result will be “more will be given and he will have abundance” to the ones with ears to hear and eyes to see. That is an emphatic statement made by Jesus Himself. Who are we to challenge such a statement?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in the 1st Corinthians, chapter 2:
10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, HE has revealed to us HIS inmost Heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. 11 After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. HIS thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God.
12 For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. 13 And we articulate these realities with the Words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed Words. 14 Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. 15 Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. 16 For
Who has ever intimately known the Mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become HIS counselor?
Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.
The known will of GOD skips “requests” and changes to “demand”. A request denotes some level of uncertainty that the one receiving the request will not satisfy your request. However, when you demand something, you already know that what you are demanding is yours when you require it.
It is my desire to remove the uncertainty in the mindset of the reader by referring to the revelations provided to us by Jesus Himself, The Holy Spirit, and the others who address our covenant, both Old Testament and New. If you know FATHER’S commitment to you, then HE expects you to demand performance rather than “ask” with uncertainty attached.
The Greek word for ask has four primary uses. The first three words, demand, claim, require, imply a right or supposed right in the person asking, to the thing requested; and beseech implies more urgency, than ask; ask and request imply no right, but suppose the thing desired to be a favor.
FATHER has given us the right by covenant. If we don’t know or understand the covenant, then we will fail to demand the covenant to be accessed thus our provision will sit there and be unused until we truly expect and require it.
In Luke chapter 11, Jesus spoke:
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread[fn] from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
There are no subtle conditions attached to “ask, seek, and knock”. Jesus clearly states that we should expect success and performance. Those who know our covenant with Our PERFECT FATHER will not be hesitant to ask, seek, or knock. FATHER will only provide “good gifts” to us and HE certainly has the willingness and capacity to do so.
