Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
What’s That…
Brothers and Sisters how do you Live? Do you Trust Jesus and The Holy Spirit with your Entire Life, not just Spiritually, not just Mentally, but also Physically? When we go from Jesus being Savior to Jesus being Lord, things can change that otherwise would not, but in order for you to See, Know and Understand these changes you have to pay attention to What The Holy Spirit Speaks.
Understand this, there are those who Confess that Jesus is Their Lord, but in reality Jesus is ONLY Their Savior or do not know Him at all. So what is the difference, those who look at Jesus as their Savior only never mature, but remain babies and when it comes to the Strong Meat of the Word, they Regurgitate it, Reject it, they are Not Able to get Nourishment. Accepting Jesus as Savior is ONLY the First Step and all of us have went through the Babe Stage, but even as in the Physical, one must go through Growth from a Baby to an Adult to an Elderly person, in the Spiritual Realm it is no different for the most part.
There is a Scripture that everyone has access to, have read, but many Do Not Understand it. It seems like a very simple Scripture, but there is a Rule to the Scripture that comes with Maturity.
Luke 8:17 KJV
"For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."
This Scripture I Live By each and every day since Jesus, through The Holy Spirit, started Teaching me. The Caveat of this Scripture is the Transformation of Jesus being Savior and Jesus Becoming Lord. When Jesus is Your Lord, then Your Whole Life will change. The things you Say, things you Think, things you Do, people you See, people you Know, even Food You Eat, everything changes, but how?
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
I was Hungry, Thirsty for Jesus in My Life and Sought Jesus with My Whole Heart and Wanted, Desired, His Will, His Life to be My Life. I Studied, I Prayed, I Questioned and then would do it all over again. I Asked that The Word Of God to be Manifested To Me that I may KNOW it is True. Guess what, Jesus did that very thing! It is not that I am special, but it is because I Surrendered My Life To THE WILL OF JESUS, MAKING JESUS LORD!!!
You can look at the following Scriptures as a Maturity Level, from a Lost Person to an Adult In Jesus…
Matthew 13:3-9 KJV
"3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
I am going to Number the Growth Pattern
- Way Side – They Hear about Jesus and Reject Him -- Lost
- Stony Places – They Hear about Jesus but did not Accept Him, but did not Reject Him – Baby Lost
- Thorns – They Hear about Jesus try in the Flesh to Live Accordingly, but Fail – Teenager Lost
- Good Baby – Start to Turn Their Life’s over to Jesus, Start making Him Lord – Baby Born Again (30)
- Good Teenager – Starts to have More Understanding in Living For Jesus – Teenager Born Again (60)
- Good Adult – Starts Living The Word, Transforming, Who They Are, BECOMING Everything IN Jesus As Lord (100)
Matthew 13:19-23 KJV
“19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
Before anyone corrects me, yes, the above Scriptures deal with the Lost and Saved, but in my Life time I have seen Baby’s in Jesus that never will mature, as well as Teenagers, even Adults who do not take the next step in making Jesus their Complete Lord Over Their Life.
But this Scripture that I referred to above (Luke 8:17 KJV), I Tested Jesus, I Sought Jesus, I Asked Jesus and when I went the Extra Mile, so did He. Jesus would Reveal things to me in ways that He only could, for me to Learn and to Protect me. When you become an Adult things get a little more challenging, but this Scripture never fails, as with all Scriptures!!
Matthew 7:7-8 KJV
"7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
These Scriptures have the Great Commandment attached to them that Tie All Of Your Relationship to Jesus…
Mark 12:29-30 KJV
"29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment."
I have had Jesus show me things, both physical and spiritual that if I had not been doing these verses, I would have never known. Those who think that just singing songs about Jesus, to just go to a church, just read the bible because it is a goal, to be with people who walk and speak as a godly people, this is NOT Maturity!!! All of these a Lost Person can do!!! But it is all about is a Loving Relationship between You and Jesus, that no matter what Jesus says, you do and in doing His Will, we do The Fathers Will, and in doing this, nothing is Hidden that will not be Revealed to us in God’s Way. But you have to be paying attention, that is, you must be Seeking Jesus Always, In Everything that touches Your Life and then be Obedient to What Jesus Says to do.
John 14:15 KJV
“If ye love me, keep my commandments."
There is no “IF’S”, “BUT’s” in this, if you want to know the Hidden Things that Jesus Knows, then you MUST SEEK Him with All that You ARE!!!
There was one time that my wife was pregnant and we lived in an apartment complex, in the early spring, they had not turned the air-conditioning on as yet. She was overly hot, was suffering in a sense. So we went to a Kmart at the time and was going to buy a fan, there were some that were on sale for a very good price. But we were struggling with money, I did not make much at the time, but this was a great deal. I picked up the fan and The Holy Spirit said “No”, no elaborate statement, no conversation, just “No”, I knew not to buy the fan. I told my wife, she was mad at me, but, I stood my ground in Obeying The Holy Spirit. The next morning, the apartment complex turned the air-conditioning on, if I had Not been Obedient, to What The Lord Jesus knew about, what The Holy Spirit spoke to me, we would have spent money that we needed for other things.
Is Walking in Jesus Will easy, No, it causes a Division between the Physical Realm and the Spiritual Realm. Is this some magical tool that we have, NO, does this work 100% of the time, NO!, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, reveal what concerns me, when I need to know on the bases upon Their Will, Not Mine, but does affect my well being if needed. In other words, not everything is going to be revealed that is hidden, there are things that we must Walk Through in order to Learn, in order to Build Our Relationship WITH Jesus!!!
Also, in revealing things that are hidden might not allows be The Lord Jesus Speaking or The Holy Spirit, but might be in delays, in going the wrong direction, in waking up late and a hundred other things, so do not think that it is always going to be The Holy Spirit saying…, He may not utter a word, but in time will Reveal The Why to that thing that was Hidden in most cases, but not allows, sometimes there will never be an explanation and you must Walk In Faith.
As time becomes more evil, as more people who claim to be a Christian and are not, we need to know, we need to Judge All Things, Seeking Jesus Will to even begin to know what lies ahead, the Hidden Things, that we would not understand nor see, too be able to Walk In Obedience that opens doors. Man and Satan think they control this World and the Hidden things thereof, but, Jesus KNOWS All Things and IS IN CONTROL!
1 Corinthians 1:20 KJV
“Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?"
Amen and Amen!!!
