Things Hidden in Darkness

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Revealed Remember what I said earlier: The mysteries

you pray out in tongues are for your benefit,not God’s.

Every time you pray in the Spirit, you communicate up

before God’s throne the mysteries of Christ in you, the

Hope of Glory. When God starts to answer those

prayers, you begin to receive insight into His Word. The

understanding of everything that Jesus is in you starts

to come forth on the inside.

At the same time these mysteries are revealed to your

understanding, the Holy Spirit also casts a brilliant

light on spiritual roadblocks that are hidden in

darkness — those sins, faults,and shortcomings that

keep you from producing a hundredfold harvest of

God’s plan for your life.

This is what Jesus is talking about in Mark 4:20-22. After

describing the different types of bad ground in people’s

hearts, He says this:

And these are they which are sown on good ground;

such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth

fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an

hundred.

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put

under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a

candlestick?

So Jesus calls me “good ground” if I receive God’s Word

— both the written Word and the mysteries of His

personal plan for my life — and then bring forth the

fruit of that Word thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.

Then Jesus asks the question, “Is a candle lit to be

hidden under a bushel or under a bed?”The answer is

no. Can a lighted candle be brought into a dark room

without shining its light on that which is hidden in

darkness? No. Is the Word of God given to you not to

understand? No!

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;

neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should

come abroad.

In other words, when the Holy Spirit begins to

illuminate your spirit by the Word of God, it is like

walking into a dark room with a lighted candle. Every

obstacle in the room that is hidden in darkness will be

revealed by the light.

Jesus happens to be talking about your life. He happens

to be talking about uncovering the things hidden in

darkness that prevent you from producing a

hundredfold walk.

You see, the candle of your spirit was lit when you were

born again, and you cannot pray in tongues without

causing that lit candle to burn brighter and brighter.

That, my friend, is when that internal war begins! Why?

Because the flesh doesn’t like its deeds exposed to the

light. The flesh is just like those little cockroaches that

live in cheap motels. When the light is turned on, they

scurry for cover. They love the cover of darkness.

So it is with your flesh. I guarantee you, your flesh isn’t

going to want to get rid of everything the Holy Spirit

shines a light on!

MOST PEOPLE CAN GET A 30 FOLD WALK, AND EVEN A 60 FOLD WALK, BUT TO GET THAT LAST 30% TO A ONE HUNDRED FOLD WALK TAKES MORE POWER.

PRAYING IN TONGUES FOR EDIFICATION IS NOT EASY, OH SOMETIMES IT IS ESPECIALLY IN THE BEGINNING, BUT AFTER 6 MONTHS OR SO IT GETS MORE INTENSE.

DON’T GET DISCOURAGED, ITS A WAY OF LIFE, NOT A QUICK FIX, JUST KEEP PRAYING NOT MATTER WHAT, IF YOU STOP FOR AWHILE ITS OK, JUST START AGAIN, IT WILL BECOME A HABIT AFTER SOME TIME. (lb)
