Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirt of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak the wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which non of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
These things we also speak not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
For he who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ, ( 2 Corinthians 2-16).
God has bestowed upon us His greatness. He gave us His Son. Within the Son where we abide, are riches and treasures that are vast and unsearchable…..These treasures are revealed as we search Him in understanding. They are there for us to seek and find and partake in fully and complete….
As it is written in Proverbs 25:1: It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
We have been made kings and priests unto our God as stated in Revelation chapter 1. The hidden riches and ways of God are made manifest by His Spirit today….. for those that love Him……
The Wisdom of the Ancient One is revealed unto us….. The understanding of this great Love that our God has for us….. is unveiled….. all by His Spirit dwelling within….
We are given everything we need for the day…. The Manna from heaven has been made unto us to keep us His though we live in a corrupted world. His great Love manifested in our Lord Jesus Christ for us is neverending and unsearchable….We will never say- now I got it, I understand…….Our lives in Christ resembles this acclamation….. wow, the knowledge of Your forgiveness made through Your Son is magnificent and yet, Holy Spirit, You lead us deeper into unending surplus of His love for us. Holy Spirit, there is more?
Then we hear Him say, child, you have only entered in the Door….. Come in to the Kingdom of Your Heavenly Father. Learn to partake as His Son has….. Follow the way of the First Begotten and you will see all that He has planned for you in His greatness and majesty.
When Scripture states we have the mind of Christ, what do we think? I know the religious will say that is blasphemy, even though it is written in Scripture. Could this be a way for us to grow in our understanding of the Lord?
Could the mind of Christ revealed unto us give us the grace so we may think in alignment with the Lord? I oftened asked the Holy Spirit how the Lord could encounter such hate on that day and not break down. How He perservered with the beatings and then to carry that heavy cross and still not break into His own will….I see such great strength of only a God- kind could provide.
Yes, He was fully man and fully divine……He bowed so low for us because He saw us as such a great reward. When we start to understand in glimpses the mind of Christ in His pursuing us through the suffering, despising the shame, we grow in more love. Then as we grow in more love for Him, He reveals more of the things that God has prepared for us….
Yes, we are given an increase of grace to continue pursuing Him, our eyes of our understanding see the heart of our Lord loving our Heavenly Father. We are held in awe as we see the love that the Lord was willing to die to keep in union with……We are held in awe and astounded for even now we are included in this great fellowship of Love…. as One in communion with the Godhead…. Yes, we are in awe and yet, we come boldly for we are in need of the Great Love. As a child peak’s around the corner seeing his parents affection as they display their love…. The child gets comfort in seeing his parents love for each other. Yet, he will run bodly and jump in the parent’s lap to enter in the middle of their love…and soak it up!
So much of God is available to us. We must be in awe with His greatness and yet hungry and desiring to know Him more….. The Holy Spirit will give us the desire and implement the openings of opportunity for us to live this love out in our lives…. The more we have put before us the choice of His love and remain in union, the more the divine strength and perserverance will be perfected in us…..
The communion of the Godhead will manifest in us so great that we will stand the tests of the fire and the water because of this union…… This great communion of our Godhead and all the saints….. is more real to us than any darkness that tries to daunt us to break it.
We cannot go after the high calling in Christ Jesus without this fellowship with and in communion in the Holy Spirit…. In maturing the children of God into the sons and daughters of the Most High God,…. He is becoming our all. We cannot obtain anything spiritually without our King and the presence of His Spirit within…. He is our Strength and Refuge.
Our Lord is victorious….. Only as we abide in Him and allow the mind of Christ to instruct our lives, will we also be victorious… We live from His victory……not ours…..All the godly attributes deemed the Holy One’s Son victorious over our captivity…. We are gaining His godly attributes as we live in glory to glory….. We live from His victory and overcome His enemies, which are our enemies by His name, His strength of His Word, the Lord Jesus Christ…..
I heard this saying once and I played this out as the Lord being my Best Friend: The enemy of my enemy is my Best Friend……Jesus Christ, our Lord.
As we ascend to the high calling of our Lord Jesus Christ, we also live and partake in the cross. The way of the Lord cannot be manifested in us unless there is great fellowship with Christ crucified.
Great and unsearchable are the ways of God, as we follow His trail, we go down as we ascend. Each door that the Holy Spirit reveals for us to walk in to understand the mind of Christ, if we take the challenge, we grow in greater measure in Him and He and all that HE IS grows in us…. for this is the way of the cross.
It is okay to be wimpy and needful to enter in…… we are all that way as we enter in with shaking knees. Then we witness His great love engulfing us as He is the One carrying us to the finish line….in His grace, the strength and might and mercy of God.
Beloved, it is quite beautiful to the Lord to be found hiding in His wounds of mercy. He looks and smiles and says, child do not hide from Me for this is why I AM came. Take shelter and rest, My work is done for you in I AM. Now I AM is working My work in you.
So let us put our exploration cap on as we search the unsearchable riches of Christ provided by God. As our Great Revealer leads us into God as He searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God, ( 1 Corinthians 2:10-11).
Children, why do you struggle ? I AM here for you in all your struggles….. When a child runs to you with a tangled and broken toy, do you not sit down then to help their struggle?…. Why do you not run to I AM with yours? Your struggles are not hidden from I AM. Come and release yourself from being what you can not be because I AM only is that for you.
Do you think there was no provision when Noah and his family and all the animals entered the ark? Alas, I AM was there. All through the Flood, I AM was there. My provision is great. Do not doubt if I AM will come through or be there….. For I AM is, was and will forever be where you are…. I AM has never left your side…. Be still and know YOUR GOD.
I AM comes on the storms to calm you in My Love. I AM is ever present, calming and presenting I AM as your ARK….. Trust I AM, come in to My arms. Be comforted, alas, My Blood has cleansed all. Allow My Greatness to form My new creation…..Arise in My Love. Breath in My Life, Everlasting Life. Walk out in My Way. My path is before you. I AM leads the way, but do not worry, little one, behind you is I AM. Your steps are secured and fastened with My Good News. You are secure in forward movement for I AM here at every stumble and edifice.
Come and sit with I AM, rest and see the heights and depths of Love. As you walk with I AM your vision will encompass great mysteries and enigmas of ancient days….. Come and allow I AM’s love to bloom as you are I AM’s fragrance. You allow My Love to embrace you and I AM’s anointment has become yours…..
All My children are as different beautiful flowers blooming in the garden of God. Some are blossoming, some are just budding. I AM sees all as My beautiful bride. They are one in I AM’s plan. My glory is displayed by each. I AM provides His Ark for His own….for I AM.
I in them, and You in Me that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Do not look from your eyes. My Spirit within reveals What Has Been Spoken, not what is for what is will be gone and what remains is I AM….See through the new created vision within, and you will see what is to be……You live there where I AM.
Surely, you are covered in the Love of the Holy One as the snow covers the earth…… Live in the joy of My embrace…..which will never let you go.
Come boldy and be all Mine…… As I AM all yours.
