The Holy Spirit Knows All
(1Co2:6-16)

God is the God of revelation.
He reveals secrets (Da2:34) and
He makes Himself known to whom He reveals (Mt11:25).
 
Faith is knowing Him through Him and
The life of this faith is by the Spirit of revelation having the heart of Christ and loving souls.
 
When only the ideology of Jesus Christ is emphasized
God is degraded to a conceptual being, Christianity a religion, and
The church an organization for social movement.
Christianity, however, is not a religion;
Rather, it is the faith by revelation, the faith by grace
Since it makes known what God has freely given us (1Co2:12).
 
There is no excuse for those who say
They cannot believe in God because they cannot see Him for
All the history of the Bible reveals God to be known (Rm1:19-20):
Through all things — through wonders and miracles — through the prophets (dreams, visions) etc
(Ge28:12, 41:25; Ex15:6; Ps78:43; Da2:47).
 
The sanctuary, where the name of Jehovah was,
The secret place of the Most High (Ps68:35, 91:1),
Reminded Israel that they were a nation of prophets, a people who received the divine revelation.
 
In spite of it, their downfall came from lack of the knowledge of God (Is6:9-10; Hos4:6, 6:6) and
The Dark Age came when revelation by dreams or prophets had ended.
 
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He would fully reveal God and the souls of all nations would know Him (Hos2:19-20).
He is the only begotten Son who was in the Father’s bosom now revealed (Jn1:1, 14, 18)
For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed and
Whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open (Mt10:26-27; Mk4:22).
 
Although during His public life He said nothing in secret
But spoke openly to the world (Jn18:20),
The Jews rejected Him for they had no ears to hear and
The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven was not given to them (Mt13:7-11).
 
As He died, Yeshua said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1)     Tore His flesh like a veil and fully revealed the mystery hidden deep inside the tent (Ps27:5; Mt27:51);
2)     Judged the devil who caused misunderstandings about God (1Jn3:8); and
3)     Shed His redeeming blood and made known the mystery of His will (Eph1:7-9).
 
He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne and
Fully revealed the existence of God (Rev22:3-4).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent
Reveals to those whom He loves (1Co2:9-10) and
Makes known what God has freely given (1Co2:12), that is,
The Father gave the only begotten Son and
The Son gave His life, His blood and the name of Yeshua.
 
The man of the Spirit who knows the thoughts of God
Through the Spirit of God (1Co2:11) has
The Father’s heart of waiting for prodigal sons to return (Lk15:11-24), and
Christ’s heart of waiting for the born-again souls to return as His pure bride (1Co2:16).
Therefore, he preaches with the passion to save souls and
Strives to not lose any of the souls given to him for
By the Holy Spirit he surely received the Spirit of revelation (1Co2:10; Eph1:17) and
Longs to see the Lord face to face and finally know Him fully, when He returns (1Co13:12).
 
O Lord,
Though I have never had a spiritual dream even once…
I certainly know who Yeshua is and
I know that the Holy Spirit is in my soul.
Do not let the Holy Spirit abandon us but
Let Him continue to speak to us, rebuke us and correct us
So we move to obey (He4:12-13)!
Let us all receive the Spirit of revelation to the end.  Amen.
