1 Corinthians 2:10 KJV
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God
DAILY READING : John 13:1-20; 2 Chronicles 18; Psalm 78:21-37
During world war II, a British naval officer was evacuating troops from the beaches at Dunkirk in 1940 when he was captured by the Nazis. From the German prison camp, he sent letters home to his parents. The letters would always start ‘my dear mummy and daddy,’ and talk about mundane things like farming and the weather etc. Though on the surface they looked like simple letters, underneath were coded secret messages for the British military. These letters were written in a complex alphanumeric codes, which the Germans could not decode. The unsuspecting German officers, would read the letters and then post them for him. They never knew about the coded words that contained hidden war intelligence reports.
In one letter, he hid intelligence report about the sinking of a British submarine by writing about the PoW camp’s vegetable garden. From his letters received in Britain, British intelligence experts were able to decode the message and learn about the sinking of the British submarine, the HMS Undine, which was destroyed in 1940.
Though on the surface, his letters appeared ordinary, hidden within the words were top secret information that became invaluable to the British army.
In a similar way, the words of the Bible on the surface may appear ordinary, but hidden within them are deep spiritual secrets that are invaluable to us as believers. This is why we need to go beyond the letters and search deeper for the revelation The Spirit imparts.
It takes The Holy Ghost to ‘decode’ the scriptures for us. God is saying so much more than you think, but you need revelation to fully grasp it.
Psalm 62:11 says ‘God has spoken once twice have I heard, that power belongs to God.’
In other words, there is more than one hearing to the words in the scriptures. The first hearing is general knowledge on the surface for everyone to hear, but beyond is the second hearing which is revelation. This is spiritual knowledge which The Holy Spirits imparts to us, to help us move forward in life.
1 Corinthians 2:10 says ‘But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for The Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God’.
Revelation from The Spirit is what brings solutions and revolutions to one’s life. To succeed in life, we need the revelation of The Spirit. As we study The Word, we need to go beyond the letter on the surface and begin to access the deep truths hidden within.
Indeed the secret things belong to God, but what is revealed to us by The Spirit belongs to us.
PRAYER: Lord, by the Revelation of Your Spirit, let Your Word be made known to me. Please help me to go beyond the surface and launch out into the deep waters of Your Word, where I can receive revelations that will revolutionize my life in Jesus Name. .
