HIDEN THINGS OF GOD Blessed art thou...for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:17 Remember when you went to school and learned your ABCs? You learned them by using your five senses and your logical abilities to gather information and sort it out. That kind of knowledge is called natural knowledge and its the only kind most people know anything about. But in the kingdom of God, theres another kind of knowing. One that works its way from the inside out instead of from the outside in. Its called revelation knowledge. Jesus spoke about this kind of knowledge in Matthew 16. Hed just asked the disciples, Who do you say I am? Peter had answered Him by declaring, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Blessed are you, Simon, Jesus responded, because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven. In other words, Jesus was saying, Peter, you didnt learn this information through your physical senses. You received it another way. You received it directly from God. If youve ever had a revelation like that, you know that when it comes, it changes things. It makes you see old things in an entirely new light. It gives you such unshakable confidence that, as Jesus said to Peter, The gates of hell cant prevail against you. But revelations like that dont come easily. You have to meditate the Word and search the Spirit of God for them because they are hidden in Him. The Bible says God has hidden His wisdom for the saints (1 Cor. 2:7-9). Notice, Hes hidden it for you, not from you. He wants you to have it. Dont think, however, that God is just going to drop great revelations into your lap while youre watching television. You have to seek Him. If youre hungry for revelation knowledge, get yourself in a position to receive it by meditating the Word, praying and fellowshiping with the Lord. Begin to receive those revelations from Him. Its the most exciting kind of learning there is HAVE A GOODDAY
