| Do You get it?
When we have a thought or a nugget of an Idea there is a Seed of Understanding.
But until the Seed germinates it is Only a Seed.
A natural Seed requires Good soil to germinate and eventually reach its potential.
A Spiritual Seed must germinate to eventually produce what God intended.
What are Spiritual Seeds ?
The Words of God.
How does the Word of God germinate ?
By Meditation.
But his delight is in the Law of the Lord ; and in his Law doth he Meditate day and night.
When I remember thee upon my bed, and Meditate on thee in the night watches.
Mine Eyes prevent the night watches, that I Might Meditate in thy Word.
If You plant a natural Seed and dig it up in a few days it Will remain a Seed.
If You do Not Meditate on the Word of God it Will Never germinate. It Will remain a Seed.
Profound Truth is transcendental. It spans Time and space. It is transformational.
The discovery of the Relationship between matter and energy ushered in the atomic age.
That was a profound concept with tremendous implications for Humanity.
God`s Word is profound. It has tremendous implications for Humanity.
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the Flesh profiteth nothing: the Words that I Speak unto You , they are Spirit , and they are Life.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall Not Live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the Mouth of God.
Understanding happens quickly for some but less quickly for most.
Study comes easy for some but is torturous for others.
The things of the Spirit are Not natural. They are Not encountered through natural Life experiences.
The Word of God reveals Supernatural Truth.
The Word of God is profound. It is Not fathomed by casual encounter.
The Word of God is Not "light" reading.
The Word of God requires that we have New Eyes - Eyes that can See into the Spirit Realm.
Spiritual Eyes along with Wisdom and Knowledge in Spiritual Truth are Gifts that must be asked for and Received by Faith.
Why is it so important to have Spiritual Eyes and Understanding into Spiritual matters?
18 The Eyes of your Understanding being Enlightened ; that ye may Know what is the Hope of his Calling , and what the Riches of the Glory of his Inheritance in the Saints ,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his Power to us-ward who Believe , according to the working of his Mighty Power ,
20 Which he wrought in Christ , when he raised him from the Dead , and set him at his own Right hand in the Heavenly places,
As New Spirit beings we have infinite potential because the Seed that God Sowed in us is Himself.
In Order for God to Manifest in and through us we must germinate the Seed by Meditation on who we are in Christ as revealed by God`s Word.
Understanding Will Increase as we Meditate but we Will Never fully fathom the Gift of God !
Past finding out! by Barry Bennett
“that I should Preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable Riches of Christ. .. . to Know the Love of Christ , which passes Knowledge , that You Might be filled with All the Fullness of God.” ( ( )
As I Read this passage over and over, I must Confess that I don’t Know if I Will ever get my Mind wrapped around it. Consider these phrases:
‘the unsearchable Riches of Christ’ – No matter how much we Know , there is more to Know. There is no end to knowing the Riches of Christ. It is infinite.
‘to Know the Love of Christ which passes knowledge’ – How can You Know something that passes Knowledge ? Not Only are His Riches unsearchable, His Love is unknowable !
‘that You Might be filled with All the Fullness of God’ – If the first two phrases weren’t enough, Paul goes on to Pray that we would be filled with All Of God ! I don’t Know if this is hitting You like it hit Me , but Christ in Us , the Hope of Glory is far beyond a Doctrine.
God Lives in Us , Christ Lives in us and the Spirit Lives in us ( these three are One ) and their Riches are unsearchable, their Love past knowing and their Fullness in us is incomprehensible to our natural Minds.
And that is the Gospel message. God wants to Live in You and bless you.
Oh, the depth of the Riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God ! How unsearchable are His Judgments and His Ways past finding out! ( ( )
