Have You Seen and Have You Heard
“But God has revealed them to us through
His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all
the things, yes, the deep things of God."
I Corinthians 2:10
Read in PDF
While crying out to
the Lord concerning the body of Messiah one night, my heart became overwhelmed pondering the countless
number of men and women of the past and of the present that just “want God”; those who sincerely desire Truth
and the deep things of God. I mourned at the thought of the stagnant water or the “doctrine of men” (Ephesians 4:14) going forth in the earth
realm, erroneous teachings that are approved by men, and not by God, that endeavor to hinder many from hearing and seeing
God (Matthew 23:13; Luke 10:23-24). But in the middle of my weeping, the Spirit of
the Lord spoke plainly, saying “But if they seek Me,
they will find Me.” Well needless to say, my crying ceased as I began to reflect
on the Word that I’d just heard from the LORD. It is written in I Corinthians 2:9:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for
those who love Him.” (I
Corinthians 2:9 from Is. 64:4; 65:17)
Throughout
many years and generations, the masses have heard the latter scripture quoted and preached an innumerable amount of times.
But what is written in the next verse, I Corinthians 2:10, clarifies what the Apostle Paul is actually teaching us.
“But it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit.
For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.”
See,
God has revealed those things to us through and by
His Spirit! Those of us sealed by the Spirit of God have the privilege of knowing Truth, the deep things of God! In my
mourning, the Lord comforted me with what He had already revealed in His Word. Jesus spoke these words in Luke 11:9
& Matthew 7:7:
“Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will opened unto you.”
Finding and knowing the Truth of God by seeking Him is not or should not be a mystery to the Saints of God because we have the Spirit of Truth Who guides
us into All Truth (John 16:13-14). Moreover, Jesus assured us in John 16:15 that all things that the Father has is His and
that the Holy Spirit will declare them to us!
Within the Body
of Messiah many are seeking after position; many seek after fame, eminence or recognition; many seek after the approval of
man, and many others are seeking after wealth. And for those seeking those things…they have their reward. But sadly, this too, is according to the Word of
God. II Timothy 4:3 says:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their
own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers…”
So in essence, the Spirit
of the Lord confirmed in me that I need not fret over what appears to be a hindrance today. For those who seek Him, who earnestly seek Him; He will not hide from them. He will keep His promise when saying “They
Will Find Me."
So I ask: Have you seen and Have you heard?
Seek The Lord…And You Will!
I Chronicles 28:9-
If you seek Him, He will be found by you; II Chronicles 19:3-
Set your heart on seeking the Lord; Amos 5:4- Seek
ME and live; Jeremiah 29:13- You will seek me and find
me when you seek me with All of your heart
