"Revealed!"

"And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ." 

(Luke 2:26)

Simeon had a secret, "revealed" to him by the Spirit of the eternal God.  "Reveal" means to disclose something that was unknown or secret.  What God knows no man knows; the future is held in the hands of the Creator; the secrets of the universe are composed in the mind of God; the unknown is Almighty God's forte; and God proves it when He says in Job, "Where were you when I formed the foundation of the world?"

Holy Ghost

The Bible says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."  (Philippians 2:5)  There's only one way to have access to the mind of Christ and that is to receive His Spirit, the Holy Ghost and fire.  Revelations and illuminations come from the Spirit of Christ, when we are filled with His Spirit and speak in tongues, as the Word of God directs (Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19). 

Does God "reveal" today? Does He speak today?  Can we know His intentions and His plans?  Will He tell us His secrets?  Does anyone listen for the voice of God today?  All valid questions, and there is one valid answer  ...  He has already said what He wants to say in His Word, the Holy Bible; It Is Finished!  He will; however, confirm His Word through His Spirit.  There are no new "revelations;" only illuminations.  You say, "What do you mean?"  People get into great trouble when they think they "hear" a voice or get something from an "angel," and they "do not" line it up with the Word of God.  This is extremely important for TODAY, because time is short and satan's entire plot is to deceive and seduce as many as he can before the Lord comes again.  The key scripture for all to remember is what Paul said in Galatians 1:8-9:

  "But though we, or an angel from heaven,

   preach any other gospel unto you than that 

which we have preached unto you, let him 

be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, if 

any man preach any other gospel unto 

you than that ye have received, let him 

be accursed."

This is the only place in the Bible where a verse was repeated again in the very next verse.  Paul was speaking of himself and Peter, and it was so important that he wanted to drive the point home by repeating it again!  In other words, not all angels are from God; not all voices are from God; not all dreams and visions are from God  ...  they must be lined up with the Word of God, the Holy Bible, and if you're not sure of the source, let it go completely.  Entire so-called "religions" have been based on a visit from an angel or a voice.  There is ONE God, Jesus Christ our Lord, ONE gospel, ONE Lord, ONE Faith, ONE baptism, as stated in Ephesians 4:5.  



The infilling of the Holy Ghost helps us discern all things and leads us into all truth.  Through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, we can receive illumination of His Word, and direction to accomplish His Word.  The Lord said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27)  The only time a sheep will not follow the Shepherd is when it is sick, and then it will follow anyone!

Matthew Henry's commentary says it like this: "The Jews understood his meaning, but could not form his words into a full charge against him.  He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one." 

Christmas, 2013, is a perfect time to hear from God, to know His secrets, to hear of His plans of pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, to envision the salvation of a lost world, to know the intimacy of His love for His creation, to feel and know His heartbreak for His lost sheep, and to carry His burden of a ticking clock known to the countdown moment when He says, "Time shall be no more." It's a time like no other  ...  the generation who will see the fulfillment of all things, the last hour Rapture group looking up and seeking the light of a Holy omnipotent God in a dark dark world.  

The God of the universe searches to and fro for those, or even that One, who will sit at His feet, wait for His voice, participate in His longings, feel the beat of His heart, and listen to Him in the wee hours of the morning  ... while everyone else sleeps  ... He's looking for a love child, one who doesn't just love him, but one who is "in love" with Him  ...

We can count on two hands the people who were very intimately and directly involved in the Christmas story  ...  How many are involved "today" in the "end" of the story?  Where are Simeon and Anna today?  Who seeks the face of the Lord Jesus Christ for illumination to our tomorrows?  Who waits again for the promise  ...  Again? 

There "Are" some; you don't see them much, because they may not be on the stage; they're in the pasture, wide awake in the early morning, lying between the pew and the altar, praying and groaning in the Spirit behind the veil, shedding tears for unknown souls in faraway lands, feeling the deep prophetic unctions of life beyond, seeing ethereal visions of a time not yet known, and being moved by the hand that moves all things  ...  so, who are they, and where are they?  Just like God's secrets; they are yet to be "Revealed!"

"Be It Unto Me!"

"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; 

be it unto me according to thy word. And 

the angel departed from her."

(Luke 1:38)

Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest;

  in my arms, I'll be enfolding, and sustaining you

I whisper my love into your fearful mind; you'll not be forsaken; 
 I'm hovering ever, like the early morning dew

Your times are in My hands and I will not put more on you than

you can bear; My love for you is eternal

You're My child forever; My love is everlasting, not wafting in 
 the winds; it's not momentary, nor temporal

For your name is carved in the palms of My hands; your face is

ever before Me; you are my treasure

I have a place prepared for you, that where I am, you may be
 also; it's glory and beauty beyond measure

Lean on Me, when your burdens are weighty and your fears are  
 strong, for I AM your peace; I AM your song

It is to Me you should cling; I will uphold you; the blood I shed
 protects you; it is to Me you belong

Cast your cares upon Me; I will wipe away your tears, calm your 
every fear, and carry your heavy load

I AM your Savior, your Lord, your Redeemer; in Me you will
 find rest; in Me you dwell, and make your abode 

Come, weary Saint, and mount up with your wings so strong, and
 your Eagle's flight, and rise above it all

Ascend to My voice, fly with the air currents and follow the
 winds of My beckoning; Oh, please, answer My call

Wherever you are, My precious loved one, is where I AM, for you 
 are never out of my sight, never forsaken or alone

Nothing shall by any means ever hurt you, if you stay away from 
 hellish Sin, and the devil's fire and brimstone

My ways are perfect, holy, pure, and the aroma of My love is ever 
surrounding you, in billows of holy power

My own Angels watch you sleep, and they battle to bring Me
 your prayers, that the evil one will not devour

Be at peace, my child, for I'm your source of all that's good, and
your answer in this dying world of trouble

Let not your heart be entangled with all the lusts, the cares, the
 riches, and the trauma of earth's sinful rubble

For I have come to set you free, raise you up, fill your spirit, and
 wash away the things that destroy and kill

Won't you take My hand, walk with Me, let go of the world, and
 give Me your heart, your love and your will

When you dwell in Me, and you're filled with My Spirit, baptized
 in My name, and leaving behind the old facade

I will be your anchor, your Lord, the soft pillow for your head in 
 times of need; I will be there, I AM your God
When the trials are heavy and the pain seems never to cease, lean
 against My chest, for My best you will see
As destiny unfolds and your pleas have been answered, you will
 remember when you prayed, "Be It Unto Me!"
