1 Corinthians 4:1-5

4:1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

4:4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.

In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul calls himself a steward of the mysteries. The word steward means one who is an overseer of another, until that other comes of age and is able to look after himself. A steward in the Kingdom is one who oversees the children until they are able to look after themselves and feed themselves the revelatory Word. Until they can feed themselves on the mysteries.

Paul’s job was to feed the babies the Word of God until they became mature enough to get the mysteries of the Word for themselves. Feeding you the mysteries of the Kingdom, being stewards of the Word of God, until you are mature enough to feed yourselves and then go out and start feeding others.

Why? Because that is what we are called to do and have been given the authority to do. The keys of the Kingdom were given to Peter and the other apostles so that they would go out and feed others and bring them into the deeper things. That is what we are all called to do. To be stewards to the keys of the Kingdom, to the mysteries that take us into the deeper things.

And notice that Paul goes on to say that stewards are expected to be found faithful. These keys are not just going to be given to anybody, they are only going to be given to those who will be faithful with them. And according to the Hebrews, a faithful person is one who mixes the Word with faith. One who takes the mysteries of the Kingdom, mixes them with faith and brings about a supernatural result.

And how can we judge who is faithful if we do not even begin to understand the mysteries. We can not judge what we don't understand. That is why Paul says a court of the world can not judge him; because it only has carnal understanding and can not even begin to understand what he understands.

The mysteries of the Word of God is what holds this entire universe together. Without them, it would disintegrate into nothingness. The Bible says that everything is held together by His Word, so everything is woven into and engrafted into His Holy Word. It is held together by the revelation of God that is going out and is pre-eminent over everything else that exists; indeed, it only exists because He spoke His Word in the first place anyway.

We also need to come to see that the Law of the Spirit is far greater than the Law of the natural. When the two come into conflict, the Law of the natural must submit to the Spiritual Law of God. And all things, the missing arms and limbs of those born deformed, those who have had accidents, the people who claim to have been born gay, all these things are and will be dealt with as the Law of the Spirit comes into its place in our lives.

So the mysteries take us into a prophetic mindset that will give us the ability to move into re-creative miracles as God reveals to us the faith to release His prophetic Word.

That’s why Paul, in verse 5, tells us to judge nothing before the time when the Lord comes. When He comes, He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsel of our hearts.

What are the things hidden in darkness? And what is the darkness they are hidden in?

Hidden things are mysteries. They are the full prophetic understanding of God’s Word that are going to be released into the world at the end of the age. And we are at the end of this age and they are being released now, by His servants.

And they are not hidden in the darkness of evil, but are hidden in the darkness of a lack of understanding His Word. And the counsel of our hearts, what we choose to believe, the Spiritual Law of God or the carnal counsel of men, will be revealed in the Day of the Lord. 

So we each need to ask ourselves, “What is going to be revealed about me?”

1 Corinthians 3:1-9

1Cr 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

1Cr 3:2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

1Cr 3:3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

Paul's set forth the question, Are you still carnal?  What good is the carnal mind in the unseen world of the spirit?  The carnal mind is enmity with God.  The carnal mind wars and has no peace.  The Beast within My Friends, is the carnal mind.

The carnal mind lusts after the things of this world.  This is the beast within that must be killed.  For once you place the dagger in the heart of the beast you will begin to hear as spiritual people.  The milk that you've suckeled along the way will satisfiy you no more.  A different hunger will abide in you.  For when the Beast within is subdued the lusts of this world will be removed and the Meat of God's word can be served and eaten with great Joy and Appetite.  Be Ye not Carnal My Friends, come and eat your fill of the Word of God.

1Cr 3:4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?

1Cr 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

1Cr 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

1Cr 3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

1Cr 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

1Cr 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.

The seed inside you must open to see the light.  Those that love you will water you and let God tend to you so that you will increase in the Glory and the Knowledge of The Lord.

Remember always that your are the tabernacle of The Lord and now see the first veil.  Trust the Ruach haKodesh for guidance into all truth, praying always in the spirit for mercy and to be taught the ways of Our Lord.

Plant some seeds today.  See rain falling today, for if it's a dry land, water it with the revelation you have been granted and know that God is at work giving the increase.

Knowledge Lesson for July 16, 2013

Demonstrated their Power

Paul not only spoke mysteries, as we have already seen, but he demonstrated their power. 1 Corinthians 2:1- 10, is our next Scripture, and it is here that Paul says he is not interested in the wisdom of man, but rather insists on revealing the power in the mystery of Christ.

1 When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God. 

2 For I decided not to know about anything among you except Yeshua the Messiah—and Him crucified.

3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 

4 My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power— 5 so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Today, much wisdom is preached from our pulpits and we are repeatedly told it’s not about the healing or the power, but it’s about Jesus and a relationship with him. Sounds good and wise, but let me tell you, if you’ve got a real intimate relationship with Jesus, then the power is there. And if it’s not about the power, then what you’ve got is a friendship, not a resurrected life. It is about the power, because Jesus and what He achieved are inseparable.

6 We do speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature—but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 Rather, we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery—a wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the ages.

In verse 6, Paul says he speaks wisdom to the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the age to come. So it’s not maturity as we understand it, but those who are mature in Christ; in the anointing. And verse 7 says that he speaks this wisdom in a mystery. If you don’t get the mystery, you don’t get the wisdom of God. And it was the Apostle Paul who said it.

Now, what Paul is really saying here is that the wisdom of God is the wisdom of the symbols, the mysteries. And you’ve got to have a mature attitude towards it if you want to understand it. Why? Because it isn’t plain language. Now notice, you don’t have to be wise or educated, just mature. The symbolism's of God are not hard to see or hard to understand; but they are hidden and need to be searched for. To be honest most people don’t see them because they can’t see the forest for the trees. They are so busy being convinced that there aren’t any mysteries that they wont see them even when they are speaking them.

Also notice, that verse 7 says the mysteries have been ordained from the beginning of time for our glory. What is going to bring us into glory? The mysteries. The only way into glory is by seeing the revelation of the mysteries. Either that or Paul tells lies. You see, God isn’t just going to give us the keys to the car. You have to be mature to handle its power.

8 None of the rulers of this age understood it—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written,

“Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, that have not entered the heart of mankind—these things God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 But God revealed these things to us through the Ruach. For the Ruach searches all things—even the depths of God. 

Verse 9 tells us that we can’t even begin to see what God has prepared for us. Why? Because it’s a mystery. But verse 10 says that the Spirit of God will reveal them because He searches the deep things of God. All of Scripture lays out the truth of mystery and revelation. And that is a mystery in itself. 

Are you getting the revelation?

Knowledge Lesson for July 12, 2013

The feast itself was only the dead letter of the law, given only for the purpose of revealing the truth about the Messiah. It was given to reveal exactly when Jesus would be sent, when He would be crucified and when He would be raised from the dead. The scripture says that the lamb had absolutely no ability to take away sin, but that it pointed to the One who would. And as we grasp this understanding, we will come to see that the feasts are all pointing to Jesus; the dates, the times and the seasons of both His first and His second comings.

Paul says he wants to know only Christ and the power of His resurrection. While the Pharisees were chasing around in the carnal world with carnal understandings and prayer boxes on their heads, they missed the real message being given within the feasts of God. But we cannot afford to get smug about this.

Heb 10:1-4

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. NKJV

In its greater and more powerful role of the preparation for the return of our King, the modern church is doing no better at all. We’ve thrown the feasts out all together and instead are photographing our kids on the knees of fat men in red suits and holding Easter egg hunts in the backyard.

Do you think that Santa Clause, Is a really nice guy,

Well, you never know, Pigs might fly.

It all came about, when children were sacrificed, To a god named Baal!  On his knees they were fried.

But now instead of death, Materialism creeps in, But it’s still a sacrifice And it’s still to him.

There isn’t a single child in this world who is going to be prepared for the second coming of Christ by these activities. Worse, both Easter and Christmas, no matter how much the modern church proclaims otherwise, are actually pagan holidays that anger God and fly in the face of His set feasts... feasts which prophetically and symbolically teach us, and our children, what we need to know to prepare ourselves as part of the Bride. And when your children are in hell, they’ll want to know why you didn’t tell them the truth.

It’s only the true feasts of God, that will teach them the resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ and lead them into resurrection life. These feasts will teach them to walk in intimacy with Jesus; in abundance, healing and victory in all walks of life.

Lev 23:1-2

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts . NKJV

When they understand the feast of First Fruits and come to see Jesus as the first fruit of the resurrection life, then they will come to understand just what He has promised them and what He achieved for them in His resurrection. Pagan gods in red hats with white pom-poms and gifts under a tree don’t even begin to shadow the true gift of a Living God that gave His all.

God appointed the feasts and said they were Holy. He did not revoke their appointment or their holiness. I don’t think we should either. What do you think?

And how obedient are we being to God, when we throw out His appointed times and seasons and replace them with all of this pagan tradition? Are we being any different to the Israelites of old who traded in their living God to worship false idols and household gods? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to see the truth in what is being said here. You just need to be prepared to be honest with yourself and find any description you can of Christmas and Easter in the prophetic scriptures. Jesus was born during a Godly appointed feast, was crucified during a Godly appointed feast, was resurrected during a Godly appointed feast and will come again during a Godly appointed feast. And there was not and will not be red suits or big ears at any of them!

Today's Lesson for July 10, 2013

But what does this word carnal mean?

The word ‘carnal’ is Strong’s G4560 and means fleshly. It comes from G4561, which means carnally or fleshly minded. So it’s what occupies our thinking that makes us carnal, and it’s what we think that gives birth to actions.

Being carnal does not just mean that I’m going out and living in sin. What it does mean is simply that I’m more worried about the things of the world. I’m more worried about the cheque book, what I’m eating, how I look, about my job. Carnal reasoning about all of these things is simply not living in faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God.

And so also, the word ‘mystery’ needs to be better understood. In the English language, it implies a riddle that will never be solved, or something that we are not supposed to know. But that isn’t true in the Greek meaning of this word. Here, it rather means something that we should seek out and find the answer to, because this is the way that God wants to govern our lives; through the mysteries. God speaks to us through these mysteries and guides us into a fuller and more intimate relationship with Him.

‘Mystery’ is Strong’s G3466, ‘musterion’. In the Thayer’s Lexicon, this word means, “a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding: a hidden purpose or counsel; the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous,...”

Another example, and more evidence of this, is how Jesus used parables to speak to the people. And when He was asked why He spoke to the people in parables, His answer was that the mysteries of the Kingdom were in the parables.

Matt 13:34-35

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables ; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables ; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world." NKJV

So Jesus was teaching in parables, and the righteous ones were slowly getting a clearer understanding of the message. The evil and wicked, however, couldn’t understand a word of it. Now it’s worth noting here that the disciples, although sometimes slow to understand, were the ones who eventually learned the secrets of the parable and came into the revelation of the mysteries. And these were the people who changed the world with their message of faith.

John 10:1

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.  NKJV

You will come to see that Jesus was very adamant about teaching in parables. In fact, He taught in no other way. And after feeding the five thousand, when many found His teachings too difficult to understand and left, He told His disciples that they were welcome to leave too if they wanted to; but there was no way He was changing what He was saying.

Mark 4:10-11

But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables... “ NKJV

And in the last move of God, the mysteries of the Kingdom are being released once again. These teachings will prepare you and guide you into these mysteries and propel you into a deeper understanding of the Word of God than you’ve ever dreamed possible. But more than that, they will also draw you into an intimacy with God that is so close that you will start to commune with Him daily. And this is essential if you want to be a part of the last, great move of God.

Far too many times did Jesus emphasise the parables; He even failed to speak to the multitudes in anything but parables according to Matt. 13:34. And far too many things are impossible to understand or explain without the symbolic and prophetic understanding of Scripture. Eat His flesh, drink His blood, understand the tabernacle and sacrifices, read the seasons without the feasts, the only way in is through the door, but the door was shut to the five virgins who were foolish to the mysteries.... The list of evidence is unending, to fail to see and understand prophetic Scripture is to be in the same place as the Sadducees and Pharisees two thousand years ago. And they were not part of that move.

If you are on the outside, it comes to you in parables, so if you want to get to the inside you must start to understand the parables. Those on the outside are outside the sheepfold, and those who wish to go in, must go through the door; no other way is acceptable according to John 10. So the door must be the parables, the mysteries.

So, it is true to say that you won’t even be a part of the move if you don’t start to read the Scriptures prophetically and come into the true revelation of what God is saying. After all, that is exactly the position we’ve just mentioned, that the Pharisees were in, when they missed the first coming of Jesus. And in this course we will show you why the Pharisees missed it, what they missed and also clearly show you why they should never have missed it at all.
