Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:
44 “Heaven’s kingdom realm can be illustrated like this:
“A Person discovered that there was hidden treasure in a field. Upon finding it, He hid it again. Because of uncovering such treasure, He was overjoyed and sold all that He possessed to buy the entire field just so He could have the treasure.”
One facet of this parable is the following:
The hidden treasure as a symbol of you and me. Jesus is the man who sold all that He owned, leaving His exalted place of glory to come and pay for the sin of the whole world with His own blood just so He could have you, His treasure. Heaven’s kingdom realm is experienced when we realize what a great price Jesus places on our souls, for He gave his sacred blood for us. The re-hiding of the treasure is a hint of our new life, hidden in God.
I experienced another facet of the parable in October of 1971 but to a much lesser degree as a Son of Our Heavenly Father. I was an immature believer and hardly knew any Scripture. In August of the year, I was led to a Christian coffee house called “The Open Door” by my neighbor who was also a professional musician. When his band was in town, I would go hear the band play if I was not playing a “gig” with my own rock band.
Anyway, I went and heard The Word through this fireball minister who would cover about 60 verses per hour. I was unexpectedly immersed in The Word every time I went to The Open Door. I actually went to hear my neighbor play during the breaks. Clearly, FATHER had other plans.
The Open Door had an upper room and when I asked about the baptism of The Holy Spirit, the elder took me upstairs and led me to receive The Baptism with the evidence of speaking in Tongues. I was totally inexperienced in The Word but I had no resistance to what FATHER was offering. I easily received The Baptism.
When I received this hidden treasure, my life totally changed course. I quit the band and sold my gear. I assumed that I would never play bass guitar again since it represented the world. I gave up everything I knew to proceed on this new course. My story is similar to many others and it is just another confirmation of what Jesus did for you and me. He is our Example and I simply submitted to The Holy Spirit He sent.
I received Jesus when I was twelve but received The Holy Spirit when I was twenty. FATHER was patient with me during those eight years and I am truly grateful as I look back at that time period.
I only share this story to assure you that your book in Heaven has brought you to this place at this time just like my book has orchestrated our unity in Christ. FATHER prepared me to teach and share the revelation of The Sons of GOD to those who have ears to hear.
Some have rejected the teaching in the Gospel of John whereas others have embraced the revelation. Those are among the remnant which FATHER reserves in each generation. The Trinity decided our individual books before we were formed in the womb to live in this generation. We are simply responding to FATHER’S Divine Intent and submitting to The Holy Spirit.
As the Beloved Disciple wrote in John chapter 1:
12 But those who embraced Him and took hold of His Name
He gave authority to become
the children of God!
Each of us is willing to serve FATHER in whatever capacity HE assigns us. As for me, I purpose to be led by THE SPIRIT more and more. There are times I have totally failed in the past but FATHER’S great grace and mercy was present to deliver me. Jesus’ Blood covered my sins and I was fully restored. He will pursue each of us to be fully reconciled unto Him. Yes, we do have a choice of which path we will take.
I urge you to join me in the Unity only found in Agape Love. As we accept Absolute Truth which is unique to Heaven, we will not be moved by the world’s truth and temporary facts.
We are His hidden treasure so let us walk in that reality!
PS: Six years after I sold my guitar, FATHER told me to start playing bass guitar in the small church we were attending. I reminded HIM that I did not have a guitar. Forty-five minutes later, a man came up to the pastor and told him that GOD instructed him to give the church a bass guitar. I began playing bass the next week and continued playing for twenty years until FATHER released me.
