Advancing Encouragement By:

1Corinthians: 2:9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

The idea behind this passage has to do with the human sense, the natural sense, the wisdom of the world or worldly discernment cannot comprehend the mysteries of God in the wisdom of God that is beyond human comprehension and understanding. It is only through the Power of the Holy Ghost can anyone be a witness to the things unseen by faith the things of God! For the Holy Spirit searches all things even the deep things of God whom has revealed them to us, verse 10. The natural mind cannot lay eyes on the deep things of God or comprehend them because man have been precluded from the deep things of God and can only understand the things of the world. Therefore, man tries to understand God and His nature, how He operates and how the Christian faith can follow something that is mysterious or the person of Christ that walked the earth as God in the flesh. It is mysterious how this person Jesus Christ even rose from the dead on the third day and is now ruling and reigning through His Church, who can believe such a notion? Here is what verse 11 say’s, for what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Thus, the Spirit of God is the only answer to knowing the mysteries of God! Jesus Christ said He left us His Comforter the Spirit of Truth to lead us into all truth, John 16:13 for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. That is why Paul said eye hath not seen, nor ear heard but was revealed unto us by His Spirit, 2:9, 10. I would like to make a transition here, what God has prepared for you my friend man cannot comprehend it or figure it out but only through the Holy Ghost can your calling be revealed to you. That calling is for the purpose of the uplifting and work of the Kingdom to bring God glory, honor and praise in your life and in the life of others. You have a special call on your life and God is now ready to reveal it to you whoever is reading this message or listening to this message. Get ready to walk into your destiny right now within a matter of days or weeks God has already revealed it to you and you are fighting it right now! You are about to receive confirmation from the man or woman of God He has placed in your path what your calling is to the glory of His Kingdom and the work of the Church of Jesus Christ! The things of God are spiritually discerned and your calling is spiritually discerned it is not based on someone’s flesh or of your own, the things of God are freely given to us, verse 12-15; But he that is spiritual judges’ all things, yet he himself is judged of no man… Now, get ready to walk into your destiny, into your calling from on high for the purpose of bringing God Glory, honor and praise in Jesus Name…
