You don’t have to understand a revealed mystery to receive and act on it. You simply need to make yourself available. Each of us needs total immersion in The Word so that we will fully embrace the revelation contained therein. The Word then becomes more real than the world around us and our life changes.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in the 1st chapter of Ephesians:
3 Every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from our wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because He sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate Him with all our hearts!
4 And in Love He chose us before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great Love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as Holy in His Eyes with an unstained innocence.
5–6 For it was always in His perfect plan to adopt us as His delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that His tremendous Love that cascades over us would glorify His grace—for the same Love He has for the Beloved, Jesus, He has for us. And this unfolding plan brings Him great pleasure!
We aren’t trying to receive something in the future but as Paul wrote, we are meant to walk fully IN HIM now. This is a mystery revealed to us by Divine revelation. I am not trying to achieve my calling but rather I am determined to walk in what is already given to me. FATHER has already ordained you and me to fulfill our callings as HIS Sons and Daughters else you would not be reading this now. Are you going to reject such a revealed mystery because you don’t fully understand it?
7 Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His Blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace. 8 This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of wisdom and practical understanding. 9 And through the revelation of the Anointed One, He unveiled His secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of His long-range plan, which He was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. 10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of Heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.
You and I are part of FATHER’S long-range plan which has been in place since the beginning of time. HE did not wait until we were born into this world to determine our callings. HE foreordained us to be here now to carry out HIS plan. Yes, you have the choice to fulfill your callings or not. As for me, I am determined to complete the race and cross the finish line.
11 Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as HIS own inheritance. Before we were even born, HE gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in HIS Heart. 12 God’s purpose was that we Jews, who were the first to long for the messianic hope, would be the first to believe in the Anointed One and bring great praise and glory to God!
13 And because of Him, when you who are not Jews heard the revelation of Truth, you believed in the wonderful news of salvation. Now we have been stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is critical to the fulfillment of our callings so we should embrace every aspect of The Holy Spirit’s ministry in our walk. What is the purpose of a revealed mystery? We are meant to respond and to walk in this revelation.
If money is simply sitting in the bank, what value is it? It is not until you deploy that resource does it have true value. If your grass seed is sitting in the garage and not in the ground, don’t expect it to grow. We are part of FATHER’S long-range plan thus we are meant to be active in ministry toward others. There are givers and takers, distributors and consumers, which are you and I going to be?
